ABOUT SOFA PILLOWS

SOME NEW DESIGNS FORTHESE NECESSARY ARTICLES.,

Linen, that fabric that has so steadily gained in favor, is to be found in greater variety of colors and qualities than ever before and promises to be a prime favorite for pillows. In white and nil the delicate perishable colors the e.».' ers are made in slip form and are laced at one end. They are embroidered with

1.INKN CUSHION WITH FRTLli

Bilks

of absolutely fast dye, and so can bo removed and laundered as often as they show soil. The darker colors, of which, by the way, the agra linen shows a multitude both fascinating and tempting, are treated much as silks are In any color the agra linens can be bought for 75 cents a yard and are 44 inches wide. When to those figures is added the fact that they wear like iron, it is easy to understand the reason of their favor. Tbeir colors are so lovely that they reqnire little decoration. One pillow,' which is a model of taste, has a cover of the linen in dull old red. On it are disks in twos, in threes and sin gly, all of which are tinted a darker tone with dye paint and are then retinted with a couching of gold. It is all that the most exacting need ask, yet it is simplicity itself. A frill of india silk of the same shade finishes the edge, but were it left plain it would be sufficiently decorative.

Corduroys and figured velvets and velveteens made after the style of the costly Morris velvets promise to be much in vogue for the pillows of large size and for the library couch as well as the drawing room window seat. They are somewhat severe in style, as suits their dignified use, and they are strikingly handsome in their rich dark tones. One shown was quite 27 inches square, filled with fine feathers and covered with figured corduroy in shades of tan and brown. The very fact that the figures are woven in place of embroidered, and that it is absolutely simple and plain, makes it conspicuous, and it is so strong and sturdy that it seems in its very self to assure you of rest and comfort.

Down is quite the favorite it has been, but is relegated to pillows of small size. The larger ones, that are supposed to support a weary back or make comfort able a wooden backed chair, aro filled with feather, and so ar: more substantial fchrm would bo tho down. The softer, tuoro yielding l.mterial is reserved for head rests and for tho small pillows that (It in so well under the neck and look so tempting piled on top of the larger ones.

A really perfect equipment includes all sorts, but in default of that hair, frathers and flown can lie used to good purpose. Cotton chintz, art muslin, linen and denim are the beat fabrics foi the bedroom couch, and many of them require no decoration beyond that of the ample frill. A now fad is that of couching upon denim a somewhat elaborate pattern not unlike those of the old fashioned braiding. It is very effective and makes a handsome cover, with comparatively little work, but as a help to rest and repose it can hardly be commended. The ideal pillow undoubtedly is smooth and grateful to touch, and overorna-

mentation in the usable cn?hton is not to be commended. Bnt fashion has declared in favor of couching, and couching will be used largely. On those pillows, however, that are to be admired, not enjoyed.

How to make Sng»r Cake*.

One pound of sugar, 3 eggs, half a pound of bntter or lard, 3 teaspoonfuIs of ground mace, a teaspoonful of soda, a gill of sour milk. Flavor with lemon. Use flour enough to make a very soft dough and roll as thin as possible. The last direction is the secret of excellence with this kind of cake.

Frilled Pillows Remalu Popular, bat Plata Ones Are Also Demanded—Ajr« Ltneua Uak* Desirable Covers—The Mew Fad of

Coaching Designs on Denim.

Prills still hold their own. They are shown upon some of the handsomest of pillows made, bnt there are some restrictions as to their use. Thin silks, soft oriental crapes and all the multitude of lovely art muslins and ootton stuffs are eminently suited to just that finish, and all cushions so covered will be frilled. But heavier materials, such as corduroy, figured velvet and even the much enduring demin are left quite plain and are simply seamed at the edgea There is not muoh that is really new, bat there are some fresh applications of familiar things that have all the effect of novelty, and these are reported on as follows in the New York Times:

RAIN AND DUST CLOAKS.

Made In New Materials, They Are Light In Weight and Free From Odor. The conventional rain cloak is an ugly article, suggestive of odorous waterproof and cumbersome to carry, but the latest production in this line is a silk cloak, proof from rain and graceful withal, which seems eminently fitted for protecting the gown underneath and serving the dual purpose of dust and

A NEW BAIN CLOAK.

rain cloak It is usually fashioned with a separate circular cape, which buttons on and hangs in pleasing folds. The general form is quite new, and the remarkably light weight of the whole renders the little eloak conveniently portable. On recollecting the garment of other times which did service as waterproof, one cannot help feeling a sense of surprise and satisfaction when examining these dainty articles.

There are also cloth waterproofs of light weight, with silk linings. Light drab box cloth waterproofs promise to be favorites, though chocked tweeds are also employed for making these useful garments.

Some of the cloth waterproofs oome in ulster shape, with a deep cape, smart ly finished at the neck with a velvet collar. This style is made without sleeves, and Ihe cape, whioh is lined with silk, can be worn separately. Another new model, made without sleeves, has a cape that buttons straight down, boasting revers and plaited frill around the collar. Anew design, giving a rioh silk lining, has a double oape, which is detachable.

Baking Bread.

When baking bread, the oven can spoil the best dough. It should be a very moderate oven at the first, increasing in heat until the bread has risen to its full proportions. It should rise grad ually and symmetrically. Bread too stiff with flour or too slowly baked will crack. Bread too soft invariably spreads. Bread properly baked will have a fine, firm, but not too thick, crust on all four sides. If such a crust cannot be attained in the pan, take the fully cooked loaf out of the pan and brown one side after another. The value to the keeping qualities of the bread is great enough to warrant the trouble that it may cost.

The Dressy Bodice.

All the art and talent of the dressmaker are concentrated on the bodice, which, in nine cases out of ten, is a dressy affair as compared with the skirt with which it-is worn. A model suited alike to day or evening wear may be made in black chiffon pointed on the

CHIFFON nonrtK WITH LACK TOKB. bust, the square yoke formed of lace and jot, as is also the lower portion of the hleeve, while the upper has two lace frills. It is high- in the throat and ends beneath a ribbon waistband. Nothing could be more graceful on a lithe figure.

Things Women Want to Know. Twin beds are gaining in popularity, and when placed side by side appear to a pertain extent as one bed.

Interior woodwork ought to be finished in natural when the character of the wood will permit. A varnished or oiled surface is more pleasing than is a painted one.

A new art material is sold under the name of Worcester cloth, and it is composed of linen and cotton.

Fashion has decreed that the back of an upright piano shall be decorated in some way.

A device is invented for lowering a curtain pole so as to admit air at the top of the window. One end of the rod is hinged, and the other has a catch from which it is released by pulling the tassel on the end of the cord.

For uniting cardboard, paper and small articles of fancy work the beet glue dissolved with about one-third the weight of coarse brown sugar in the smallest quantity of boiling water is good. When this is in a liquid state, it may be dropped in a thin cake npon a plate and allowed to dry. Whe» required for use, one end of the cake may be moistened slightly and rubbed on Ihe substances to be joined.

,, The Magic Spiral.

Make small spiral of very fine iron wire and coat it slightly with oil. Place this coil carefully in a basin of water, and it will float on the surface.

Take a straw or glass tube and immerse the lower end for a few inches in a glass containing soapsuds. Before removing the tube place the index finger over its upper end so that some drops of the suds will by the air pressure remain in it.

Hold this tube over the center of the coil, and by quickly removing and replacing the index finger allow a drop of suds to fall upon the water. The spiral will immedi ately make several revolutions in a most mysterious manner.

The audience should have its attention attracted to the fact that the tube does not come anywhere near the spiral and that there is no force exercised to move it.

Another drop of the suds in the same manner will produce a repetition of the peculiar action on the part of the wire.

The action of the spiral wire is due to the fact that the addition of a drop of soapsuds somefrhat modifies the surface water so as to alter a force known as "superficial tension." The science of this change, howev er, is rather too deep to permit of explanation here.—New York Recorder.

elephants In Olden Times.

The circus elephant is almost as old as the world, for the ancient Romans had an eye to business as well as our own Barnum. Trained elephants performed during the Roman gladiatorial fights, Just as the clowns do in our circuses during the intermission.

But the elephant is also spoken of in the history of the Bible. King Lysias of Syria iu 168 B. C. 'ed 130,000 men and 82 war trained elephants against Judas of Macca-

bee and won the battle. Eleabar, the brother of Judas, killed one of these elephants, but was himself buried and crushed to death underneath the colossal body of the animal as it fell.

Elephants were also found in the army of Hannibal when he made war upon the Romans in 210 B. C. The trunk, bead and neck of this animal are most easily hurt, and therefore Hannibal bad iron mail coats tnqde for them which covered these partsAlexander the Great was known to have used elephants as bridge supports during his wars, and as you can see from the picture crossed his soldier? over them.

There is a case on record where an elephant was taught to walk over a tight rope in a Roman circus, which is something that our modern circus trainers have not yet been able to do with their animals.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

When the Top Sleeps.

When a peg top or a humming spinning at its fastest, its movement is HO rapid that it seems as if it were standing still. In this state it is said to sleep. As it loses speed it begins to totter and wabble, and this is its waking. When a child sleeps very soundly, it sleeps like a

For a Sick Tot,

A good way to amuse a sick child who cannot sit up or entertain itself in ways ordinarily dear to the infantile soul is to arrange a mirror on an easel in such away as to reflect the objects to be seen from the window. If no easel is procurable, an upright stick fastened to the back of a chair will answer the purpose, and the mirror can be tilted at varions angles and moved bsckward aud forward to bring different portions of the outdoor scene into view. the child is too weary to care for the moving panorama of the street, the glaum can be made to reflect the blue of the sky or the billowy clouds, which will generally have a soothing effect aud make tired eyelids droop and tired little bodies relax into health giving slumber.—New York Die-

Unwomanly.

The only serious argument against feminine smoking that I have ever seen is that it is "unwomanly"—which begs the question. "Womanly" things are things which well bred women do at any given time and in any given place. In Turkey it is unwomanly to show the face. In Japan it is unwomanly to enter a room before your husband, In Germauy it is unwomanly to shake hands with a mere acquaintance—if it be a man. In England 20 years ago it was unwomanly to ride in a hansom. Now it is not, simply because women habitually ride in hansoms. And so, if women really wish to prove that it is not "unwomanly" to smoke, the only thing they have to do is to smoke. But it is none of my business,— Pall Mall Gazette.

and all druggists, Terre Haute,

Saved His Life —by a fortunate discovery in the nick of time. Hundreds of so suffering rom consumption have had the progress of the disease stopped, and have been brought back to life and health by the "Golden Medical Discovery" of Dr. Pierce.

R. V. Pierce, now chief

consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., recognizing the fact that consumption was essentially a germ disease, and that a remedy which would drive the germs and their poisons from the blood would cure consumption, at last found a medicine which cured 98 per cent, of all cases, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease.

The tissues of the lungs being irritated by the germs and poisons in the blood circulating through them, the germs find lodgment there, and the lungs begin to break down. Soon th£ general health begins to fail, and the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy and confused.

This is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery it drives the genas and poisons from the blood, and has a soothing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of bronchitis the "Discovery" is invaluable. "Golden Medical Discovery" increases the amount and quality of the blood, thus invigorating and fortifying the system against disease and builds up wholesome flesh and strength after wasting diseases, as fevers pneumonia, grip and other debilitating affections.

JNO. M. HITE, of Audubon, Audubon Co., fa., says: I took a severe cold which settled on my lungs and chest, and I suffered intensely with it. I tried several of our best physicians here and they gave up all hopes of my recovery. find thought 1 would have to die. I would cough and spit blood for hours, and I was pale rind weak.
