A COVER FOR THE TRUNK. How to Transform a Trunk Into a IMrce of Furniture. At its best a trunk is an unsightly object in a room, but it is often a necessary one, particularly if the closet, room is limited. With a little ingenuity it may be transformed into a dressing table or a writing table. If the trunk is flat, cover it with a board a little larger than the top of the trunk and cover this with some pretty print or dimity, with a ruffle to fall over it to the floor. Upon this can be placed the toilet articles or writing materials and books, as prefer red. If the top of the trunk is rounded, instead of flat, procure four blocks, nail to the four corners of the board about four fnehes inside of the outer edge and

In Japan. •‘Come, little pigeon, all weary with play, Come and thy pinions furl.” That’s what a Japanese mother would say To her dear little Japanese girl. •‘Cease to flutter thy white, white wings, Now that the day is dead. Listen and dream while the mother bird sings.” That means, “It’s time for bed.*' ‘Stay, little sunbeam, and cherish me hero. My heart is so cold when you roaijj.,” That is Japanese for “No, my dear; I’d rather you’d play at homo.” •‘Roses and lilies shall strew thy wayThe sun goddess now has smiled.” That’s what a Japanese mother would say To a good little Japanese child. Two Pimsy Cats. 1 Til U PET CAT. Dainty little ball of lur, sleek and round and

fat.

Yawning through the lazy hours, some one's household cat, Lying on a bed of down, decked in ribbons gay, ! What a pleasant life you lead, whether night or day I Dining like an epicure from a costly dish, berved with what you like the best—chicken, | meat or fish, Purring at an outstretched hand, knowing but caresses, Half the comforts of your life, pussy, no one guesses. Romping through the house at will, racing tlown the hall, Full of pretty, playful pranks, loved and praised by all, Wandering from room to room to find the choicest spot, Favored little household puss, happy is your

lot.

Bleeping on my lady’s lap or dozing by the grate, Fed with catnip tea if ill, what a lucky fate! Loved in life and mourned in death, and stuffed maybe at that, And kept upon the mantelshelf—dear pet cat. THE Til AMP CAT. Poor little beggar cat, hollow eyed and gaunt, Creeping down tho alleyway like a ghost of want, Kicked and beat by thoughtless boys, bent on cruel play, What a sorry life you lead, whether night or day! Hunting after crusts and crumbs, gnawing meatless bones, Trembling at a human step, fearing bricks and stones, Bhrinking at an outstretched hand, knowing only blows, Wretched littlo beggar cat, born to suffer woes. Stealing to an open door, craving food and heat, Frightened off with angry cries and broomed into the Street, Tortured, tcosi <1 and chased by rings through tho lonely night, Homeless little beggar cat, sorrow is your plight. Sleeping anywhere you can, in the rain and snow, Waking in the cold, gray dawn, wondering w here to go, Dying in the street at last, starved to death at that, Picked up by the scavenger—poor tramp eat. — Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Vigilant Not Treated Fairly. Newpoht. It. I., Autf. 7.—The Vigilant has withdrawn from furtht-r contests with the Defender, Mr. Williams, Who has control of the former yacht, iutimatiiiK in a letter to tho regetta committee of the New York Yacht club that the Defender jockeyed his boat so unfairly at the start of yesterday’s race and off handy Hook on July 22 that h<* declined to meet her again. IH«l Not Lib* His lliifttnes* Methods. Middi.esboko, Ky , Aug. 7.—E. L. Hobbs, in tho meat business here, was waylaid and shot in Virginia. He died instantly.

A TRUNK WITH CHINTZ COVER. plane the blocks to fit the slope of tho trunk. They should bo so placed as to rest against the wooden cleats across the top As tho table must always be lifted from the trunk whenever .mo wishes to use it, such clothing as will not be frequently needl'd should be kept there. If tho trunk is required for constant use, tlie table is out of tho question, but a pretty chintz cover may lie made for it and slipped over tlie trunk, according to a plan illustrated and described for Tho Household: Measure tho top, cut the material to correspond and border it with a box plaited rulllo about threo inches wide. Under this gather a deep flounce reaching to the floor and completely hiding the trunk. Sew strong tapes to tho top of this flounce, underneath at the four corners, and insert small screw eyes in the trunk to tie them to. In this way tho lid may be raised without removing thocovcr. Tho screw eyes will not mar tho trunk and can ho easily removed when packed for

traveling.

To Hoil or Not to Itoil. Boiling is a branch of culinary art | that is understood by comparatively few cooks, although it is generally supposed ! to bo the most simple form of cookery J known. It is a fact in kitchens where | tho cook understands her business actual boiling as applied to meats very rarely occurs, excepting for a few min- j utes at a time, and then at the begin-1 ning of cooking. When these few minutes are over, tho aim of tlie experienced cook is to keep meats that arc to be boiled from boiling and to let them simmer until done, for as surely ns the meat boils it will bo spoiled. Tho New York Tribune says that the following is a good rule for boiling: Fresh meats, fresh poultry, fresh fish, all alike, should bo plunged into as

his grandfather was one of Napoleon’s generals. He studied in the famous college of Barcelona, spent considerable time in perfecting himself in the law and then entered the Spanish diplomatic service, to which he has since devoted a quarter of a century of his life. He has occupied important positions in the service of his country in Japan, Uruguay, Belgium, Argentine Republic, France, Germany, Italy and the United States.

much boiling water as will cover them. Boil quickly three or four minutes in tho case of meat, ono minute in the case of fish. Then draw tho kettle back, add a littlo cold water to reduce tho heat, and keep it covered, and let tho contents simmer only until done. Tho quick boiling “sets” the surface of the meat, which keeps in the flavor and goodness, while tho inner portion is gently cooked until done. This is all tho “boiling” needed. When really boiled, fresh meat is tough and flavorless, so that to ‘'boil” meat successfully it should not bo boiled at all. That fresh meat should invariably bo put into boiling water and salt meat into cold is another rule worth remembering. Salt should always be added to tho water for fresh meats. Cologm* Made at Home. Cologne is quite expensive when purchased outright. A better article may bo made at homo than that which is bought at tho drug store, and with little trouble and expense. Hero is a recipe for making it from Good Housekeeping: Thoroughly dissolve a fluid dram each of the oils of bergamot, orange and rosemary, with half a dram of neroli, 4 drops of the essence of lemon and a pint of recti fled spirits. If this is subsequently distilled, it makes a perfect cologne, but it becomes exceedingly tine after having been tightly stopped and kept two or three months. Another cologne, to use ns toilet water, is loss expensive than tho foregoing: Oil of bergamot, lavender and lemon, each 1 drain; oil of rose and jasmine, each 10 drops; essence of ambergris, 10 drops; spirits of wine, 1 pint.

Dainty Ktre<-»« With Ih-llcate Coloring;* Li^lit Furniture. If there is one apartment more than another in the modern homo where dainty effects are most fitting, it is the young girl's own room. Here the decorator need not hesitate to lavish his most delicate conceptions in coloring. The prevailing demand for light lined furniture happily puts it within our power to obtain at reasonable cost many charming pieces especially adapted for this purpose. For a room with a northerly exposure a warm scale of coloring should be employed; on the other hand, fur one facing the south the colder colors arc in order. Among the light woods in which furniture for sleeping rooms is now made is white mahogany. After this comes white maple, with its mottling of birds' eyes, and last, but not the least attractive, is tho curly birch, with a surface having tho lustrous softness of satin and a most delightfully wavy grain. Any of these may be selected as peculiarly fitting, but the maple and birch will lie found the least costly. For a northern room the wall hangings may be in pale yellow, the ornamentation being in some floriated design in delicate pinks, blues, greens, purples and amber. The wood finish of the room should be painted ivory white or pule pink. For the floor there is nothing better thana creamy china matting. In the better qualities are quaint patterns in low toned colors. For the present purpose, however, one with a simple figure at intervals would be advisable. Two or three rugs may bo scattered round, one, at least, by tho bedside. These should be in dull red and white, at any rate not too aggressive in tone

Our Havana Consulate. Ramon O. Williams, who has boon United States consul general at Havana for tho past 11 years, was born * in Washington, but went to Cuba when a mero boy a n d remained there with rela tives for a uum her of years. He then returned to Washington, engaged i n the ramon o. williams. newspaper business and finally again removed to Cuba, where he became such a successful merchant that he was able to retire in 1871. The salary of the office is $11,000 a year, the largest sum paid an}’ consul general in tho service of the United States, and the fees swell the income to even more acceptable pro-

portions.

She Wan Famoiirt at Eleven. Few artists achieve fame at the tender age of 11 years, but such was tho good fortune of Miss Mi hired Howells,tho only daughter of the famous novelist. A decade ago Mr. Howells wrote a charming book called “A Little Girl Among the r O!d Masters.” The little girl was M)’ ss Mildred, and th a book was illusmildkkd howells. trated by sketches she made of the famous pictures her father took her to set) in the old world galleries and churches.

-- . . -N YOUXO GIRL'S o« N ROOM. Those known us By/.a-.itine would answer the purpose admirably, coining as they do in quiet coloring and quaint designs. The bedstead, of course, must be of brass and 3 feet <i inches at least in width. Should the room be largo the full size bed may bo used, but for a contracted space the smaller size will be better. Springs of woven wire and a good hair mattress should be provided, with feather pillows to conform. Should one so desire, a dainty spread may bo employed, charming effects being possible with bolting cloth and linen embroidered. A duchess dressing table should not be omitted, made up in sonic dainty material such as clotted swiss or cheesecloth. The trimmings in the present instance should be old red or pink. There ought also to bo a chiffonier or bureau, a small table, rocker, side chair and small writing desk. The curtains may be of muslin or creamy madras, surmounted by a light festoon draping in warm yellow or salmon pink china silk. For a room on tho sunny side of tho house the walls may be treated in neutral tones of gray, blue or green. Tho designs should be simple. When a room is low studded, apparent height may be imparted to it by the choice of some pattern showing vertical lines or figures repeated after that manner Tho opposite line of treatment should of course be adopted for a room that is too lofty Blue on tho side walls will make a room seem larger, horizontal lines having the same effect, according to Decorator and Furnisher, authority for these helpful hints.
