INFORMATION CONCERNING BURNED ENGRAVING OR SCORCH WORK.
The Development of Old Time Poker Work. It Is Now Known as Burned Engraving
and Is Applied to Leather Well Wood.
Burnt wood' engraving, which is commonly called pyrography and poker or scorch work, is by no„jneans new, but it has been bronght to such a degree of perfection by artist0 Wfcrkers that it is worthy of extended notice. This scorch work is no longer confined to wood, bet has been adapted to leather as well Neither is its application limited to small articles. Wall panels of leather, chairs, desks, screens, tables and other large objects are nowadays decorated with this scorch woj-k.
In pyrography, like wood carving, the amateur is often daunted by not knowing how to apply the work to a useful or really decorative object. Some of the common wofnln articles that are usually burned up may be converted into pret-
BOX WITH SCORCH WORK DECORATION,
ty trifles. An empty cigar box affords material for a handsome receptacle for note paper, photographs or needlework. The outside is ornamented with the hot point, with the pattern left light on a dark ground. Brass nails are screwed into the bottom at each corner to serve as legs. Alcohol is burned inside the box to remove the smell of tobacco, and it is then lined with dark red or orange satin. It may be scented with any favorite sachet powder. Tho small boxes that contain imported prunes and other dried fruit may be turned to ornamental uses in the same manner. Filled with bonbons, they would make an original prize or favor for a party.
A portfolio in which to keep etchings or engravings, so difficult to preserve fresh, or for large photographs is made from two panels of white wood, bound together by ribbons. It may bo decorated as individual fancy dictatea A wreath or border may inclose a monogram, or if sufficient skill be possessed a favorite poet or author or a sketch of his or her house or birthplace may bo etched.' A design originally illustrated in Tho Modern Priscilhi, authority for tho foregoing, is purely German. Ini-

tin la are in tho lower comer. Such a portfolio may bo any desired size. These few hints by no means exhaust the pow ers of tho scorching pencil. Asiirvoy of tho numerous tempting looking things in a turner's shop will quickly call forth now ideas in this line, as otherwiso really insignificant trifles can be thus transformed into (lecorativo objects.
A Point In Ktiqutte.
"Thanks" is a miserable expression, commonly used by persons who have not had the advantages of good breeding. Every favor received and civility shown deserves to bo recognized, and the smallest acknowledgment- tho recipient can make is lo r«ay or write "Thank you." The vulgarity of "thanks" is on a par with the postal card correspondence.
How to WliUk or Hent, ItnUor. When using a spoon or whisk for beat ing. take long upward strokes, the more rapid the better. The spoon should touch the bottom of the bowl each time, and the motion must be regular. Another way to beat is to use a circular motion. In this ca.se the side of the spoon is kept close to the side of the bowl. The spoon is moved rapidly in a circle, carrying with it a |xrtion of tho ingredients. This kind of beating can be applied only to a rather thick mixture. It is the best method of beating sugar and butler to a cream.
Making Hremlrit K|t'Rs.

Fashion Note*,
The new silks are moires striped with satin en bayadere and plain satins figured with chine figures in contrasting color.
A novelty of the season is the inannfacture of silks and satins especially for waists.
Satin ami moire effects, despite all rumors to the contrary, still prevail in rich goods, and dull linislied silks for tho time are abandoned.
While frock coats and strictly tailor made gowns are commended, there are also new blazer suits for spring and summer wear. These are of finely twilled serge or else hopsueking, with rovers and sleeves of moire antique or of the wool, as the wearer chooses.
The "monocle" has gone out of fashion abroad. It is said that those who Still cliug to this ugly single glass might bo counted oiv the fingers of both hands.
Children's frocks intended to be washed art? so made that they will draw out quite fiat and be easily irvu*d, and at tho same time easily gathered back into shape.
A capital spring cloak for children is made in cream gauffer cloth, a pure woolen material, whu-h is inrxivusive. Washing cloaks area new feature, made in fawn china tussore mid lined so that they are not unduly chilly. They are suitable for girls up to IS years old.
SMALL BOX OTTOMANS.
Ibene Are I sefnl and May Be Made Ornamental—A Box For Shoes.
Small liox ottomans are very useful, particularly in apartments where the space is cramped, and they may even have a place in the drawing room, where they answer admirably for music receptacles. For this purpose it is best to have one made of wood, which should be stained in imitation of cherry and ornamented, if liked, with brass nail heads, after the fahhion so popular just now.
To do this a writer in Harper's Basiir directs as follows: Draw some geometrical design on paper, taking care to measure, so that, the distances between the figures shall be equal and the spaces for large and small nails of a proper proportion. Lay the pattern on the part of the box yon wish to ornament and with an awl make holes through the paper on the board—large holes for the large nails and smaller for the small size.
In driving the nails in use a nail guard or in tho absence of that some folded paper or felt cloth to keep them from being marred. Silver and gilt nails combine well, and when properly arranged produce an excellent effect. Have divisions inside the box for bound books and two or more shelves for loose music and see that the lid is strongly hinged and fits exactly so as to keep out the-dust. If preferred, the box may be covered with velours or corduroy, but the ma teriai should be in dark tones of a color which is harmonious with the other furnishings of the room.
A box for shoes is useful in a bedroom and is preiarable in every way to the bag which hangs upon the closet door. Tack a series of strong pockets around on the inside, and if its dimensions are generous—30 inches long by 14 wide and 18 in height—there will be space for 14 pockets and plenty of room below for wrapping paper, twine, etc. Either paint it or cover with cretonne to match the hangings, in which case pad the top rather thickly and tuft with covered buttons. A carpenter need only be called in to hinge on the lid. This, however, is not a difficult operation for any one having a slight knowledge of carpentry. It is well to have the pockets arranged so that they can be taken out and washed occasionally. Brown holland or denim, bound with braid, is serviceable for the purpose.
Saratoga Potatoes.
Peel largo potatoos and leave in water overnight. In the morning change the water, wipe dry and slice on a cloth. Have them perfectly dry. Have a kettle of hot beef suet ready it should be smok ing hot. Take from the fire to the fcacl of the range while putting in the potatoes stir with a fork so they will not cling together set over the fire and cook. They should bo golden brown. Skim out on a piece of cheesecloth thrown over tho colander and drain. Sprinklo salt over them.
Wrought Iron Work.
Among tho most fascinating of 111 handicrafts which women have under taken is the wrought iron work, which camo into special prominence at the last exposition tinder the name of Venetian iron work. The skill of the iron workers of Venice has long excited the admiration of artists. The prettiest of lamps, fireplace sets, brackets, grilles for doors and various other pieces of household utility liavo been shown from time to time in this work, but they were always costly. A pair of wrought iron candlesticks, simple enough in make, were sold at from $10 to $15 at one time, before Yankee ingenuity solved the problem of successfully making this wrought iron work in this country. Even then, tho price was %igli in consideration of tho cost of tho material used and the necessary labor. Clever women, however, soon discovered that the making of these fascinating forms was an art easier to master than that of making macramo law. This feminine "black smithery" is considerably simplified by elever tools which the New York Tribune snvs sre sold in beginner's size at $8.f)0 a set and in more elaborate outfit of pure steel at from $6 to $10. At about $5 one may obtain the tools and sufficient materials to make several small pieces. A few simplo designs are furnished with tho first box of tools, and after the beginner has mastered the primary work she is not likely to stop at simple designs. She may then undertake more elaborate pieces and in time make one of those beautiful Venetian lamps or even afire set.
An Faulty Made Bureau Scarf.
A serviceable, aud easily made bureau scarf is of the best butcher's linen with threads drawn out just inside an inch wide hem »n all four sides and narrow ribbon run through in and out, leaving it long enough to cross at the comers. The ends are simply fringed and knotted.
French Petticoat Bodice.

Sorosfs nests From Boston Try Delmo«lCO'B After 6 Without an Escort.
Boston newspaper women are confess-
and wiles of the metropolis. Several of the leading lights were in attendance at the anniversary breakfast of Sorosis Monday a number of them coming over several days earlier to see a few of the eights of the town. They were entertained with liberal hospitality—breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, receptions and theater parties, etc.
With characteristic Boston independence, however, a few of them decided to devote one evening to an
outing
on
their own account. After much discussion it was finally decided to dine at Delmonico's. jfift.
Five of tbem started out from the Waldorf one evening with that object in view. They filed majestically through the Fifth avenue entrance of the famous restaurant, but were immediately confronted by a male being with an imposing expanse of shirt front, who calmly informed them that they conld not be admitted.
The blood of the Puritans'was at boiling point in a minute. What, they, the representatives of Boston's intellect, culture and intelligence, denied admittance to aNew York restaurant! It was not to be borne. Were they not welcome at Parker's, at Young's, at the Vendome and at othor shrines of Hub hospitality, and should they be denied entrance here?
An explanation was demanded. The guardian of the portal gave it kindly, but firmly. It was after the mystic hour when no woman could be admitted within Del's sacred precincts without an escort, and no exception could be made even for such distinguised guests. Meekly they withdrew, having acquired a new wrinkle in the way of New York's customs. Over what they said let the veil of secrecy be thrown. What they they thought may be left to the imagination.—New York Telegram.
A SAUNE SHOWER.
Pocatello Citizens Are Salted Down From the Clouds, and There Is Much Marveling.
Friday was a balmy spring day. Late in the afternoon a drizzling rain blew up, carried on a wind directly from thu south. It was of peculiar whiteness, and after it had passed every one who had happened to have been out in it and who wore a dark suit of clothes or a dark hat noticed that clothes and hatwere covered with thousands of tiny white specks. Later it was noticed that every window in t5wn looking to the south was also covered with white spots. "It has been raining mud," said every one who noticed the phenomenon at' first, but later some of tho curious tried tasting the spots. They had a distinctly salty flavor, and analyses made later by druggists proved that they were salt.
The question now is, Where did the salt como from? There can only be one auswer—from the Great Salt lake, nearly 300 miles south in Utah. It must have been a warm day over the Great Dead sea when a strong south wind swept over it, catching up the salty va por and sweeping it north to Idaho and finally bespattering the clothes and windows of the good people of Pocatello with the salty spray.—Pocatello Tribune.^., ,....
A Bleating Indeed.
What would this poor, weak humHtiitx do were It not for those strong, noble, restless spirits who are ever searching the oavurns of knowledge for the good of mankind? Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14tb street, New York, Who a few years ago gave to the world that priceless boon Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, has now introduced anotbei blessing for the sick and suffering. He is the most successful specialist in cur ing all nervous aud chronic diseases, and be offers to everyone, far and near the opportunity of consulting bitn, fret of obarge, through bis system of lettei correspondence.

If you wish to avail yourself of this great physiq'an'a skjll, write him a once «bout your disease and you will undoubtedly be cured.'
Shy of Leper Wing's Money.
Three $20 bills and seven $10 bills of Uncle Sam's money are causing City Treasurer McCrdary more anxiety than all "the millions that roll into his strong boxes in the course of a year. This $180 was the property of the unfortunate Japanese leper, John Charles Wing, who died in the Municipal hos pital last January. The money was the savings of years as cook After his death it was subjected to high pressure steam disinfection, and as the Jap technically owed tho city about $300 for care in the hospital it was turned into the city treasury. Mr. McCreary is a bit dubious about the bills despite the disinfection, and he doesn't know whether to deposit the bills in bank for general circulation, lock them up in the vaults or send them to Washington to be destroyed and replaced by new ones.—Philadelphia Record. ~J Behead |s

An Official of the Belgium Government and His Wife Accused of Murder.
The newspapers in several European
of crimes alleged to have been committed in Belgium. The story is already the talk in several court circles and is sure to fully come to the light within a few days when the machinery of justico makes a decisive move. It concerns tho head of one of the departments of the Belgium government and his wife, whe is the daughter of an eminent general now dead. They are accused of murdering by poison no less than five of their relatives ill order to obtain large sums of insurance on their lives. Suspicions were aroused over the manner of death of the brother of the accused woman early in the present month, and this led to an investigation by an insurance company, with startling results.
The account of the discoveries sent by the Brussels correspondent of the New York Sun is confirmed by the officers of the Guardian Insurance company of London, which promoted the inquiry. The young man's life was insured a few weeks before his death to the amount of $20,000 for the benefit of his sister. He died suddeuiy on March 6 at the residence of his sister and brother-in-law in Antwerp. The beneficiary showed great haste in demanding the proceeds after the death of her brother. There were serious defects in the answers to questions in the application for payment and in the proof of the death. An inquiry was begun, and finally the body was exhumed. Poison was found in the stomach. It was learned that there had been four similar deaths in the same house within four years. The victims were all relatives, and each was carrying fresh insurance of $20,000 to $80, 000. Their bodies were also disinterred, and poison is said to have been found. The analyses are not completed, and arrests are not yet made, but will follow soon. The suspected persons move in the highest circles, and their reputation hitherto has been untarnished. The ghastly story is co widely known that it is hardly possible that they are unaware of the suspicions, but 'so far they have maintained undisturbed demeanor.
An Early Closing Argument.
An extraordinary scene was recently witnessed in County road, Liverpool. Handbills had been extensively circulated in the district asking for 5,000 rotten eggs to tlrrow at shops found open after 5 o'clock on Thursdays, and on the following Thursday a great crowd gathered at a draper's shop in County road and pelted it with eggs.—Liverpool Mer cury
