About an inch front each end drive six nails an inch apart. Fas- m» skirt, as you would when wearing and hang by loops on nails.

Then place the shade in the holder at the rough end. \\‘ind the shade up; place tlu- other end in place, and your-shade is tightened. If too tight, remove the lat- ter end and unroll a few times. Building HinLâ€"In building to save snace put your attic stairs in the ceiling of the upper hall, or any upper room; take sortie flooring or wainscotingr long enough to reach from the ceiling to the floor and nail sortie steps on the upper side of this wainscoting.

Bed Springs that Won’t Sagâ€"With a brace and bit bore holes around the frame of the woven wire spring and re- move thc stats and coils of wire beneath used to support the wire netting. Then take a cord the same as was used years age to cord up the old style bed; use it in the same way, and you have a much better bed than a “cord bed" and the wire prevents the wear on the mattress. Guard your Combâ€"The safety of a costly comb may be assured by slip- ping a small rubber band up one of the teeth. Twist a stout hairpin in one end of the loop. The band is concealed when the comb is adjusted and the hair- pin helps keep the comb in place as well as to render it unlikely that both comb and hairpin ever can slip from its place unnoticed by the wearer. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TOOTIII.ESS. Chop sliced cucumber fine with chop- ping knife and bowl and season as usual. Radishes may be run twice through a meat chopper and will be relished. Lettuce should be laid smoothly leaf upon leaf; then rolled tightly, placed on n hard-wood slicing board, and shredded with a sharp, thin knife. Cut. crosswise, until finely minced, and season to taste. Don’t try chopping or grinding lettuce, for it bruises and withers it. Boiled beets should be chopped fine. A little strong vinegar suffices to pickle. Green Corn should be boiled on the ear. \\‘ith a sharp knife slice off the tips of kernels and scrape with the back of the knife, leaving the husk of kernels on the ear. \\'hen the rest of the dinner is on the table dip meat chopper into hotvwater so it will not cool the meat; grind a. slice of cooked steak or roast and serve imme- diately. *â€"__ _â€" NE“’ L'SE FOR POSTAGE STAMPS. Turkish Government is to Build a Rail- way Through Their Sale. The Turkish Government, in announc- ing the intended sale of seventeen mil- hon postage stamps‘ to collectors, the proceeds to be devoted to building a railway between Damascus and Bei- rut. is merely following an old-estabâ€" fretted precedent. Long ago Spain found the sale of surplus stamps so profitable that she changed her designs every few years, realizing enough upon one occasion to construct a cruiser and several tor- pedo boats. St. Helena has up till now kept her- self from bankruptcy after a similar fashion. Paraguay provided new uni- forms for its by no rneans insignificant army, upon one occasion, and upon an- other it added over five million rounds of small-arm anrmunilion to its reserve, San Marino built itself a hall of jus- tic-c in 1889, and Roumania a new pri- sm in 1891. the cost in each instance being defrayed by what are known in philatelic circles as “commemoration is- sues.” ’ The Begum of Bhopal appointed an ofllrial whose special duty it was to push the sale of local stamps among dealers and collectors, and intested the pl'ocesds in pearls. In French Guinea they have. within the last twenty years. sold to outsiders enough stamps, Imostly surcharng va- rieties, to pay for the building of two hospitals, a fort. and a gaol. British llvnduras cleared 850.000 a year for nzuny years in succession after a simi- lar fashion. and invested it. in attempt- in;; to improve the quality of the ba- nanas gr-wn there. v _~_fi‘ Fricnt'lship may have the true ring. but it isn‘t the kind of ring that is cal- culated to satist the girl who L :n' IQVC‘. é ¢@@@¢@@@@&& ':i liiphj. t.

Not for the rich spoils of a. wreck, however, did Diver Leverett, whose pluck has entitled him to a place amongst the world's heroes, risk his life in the English Channel recently. A comrades life was in danger, while working in twenty-five fathoms of wa- for the latter‘s air-pipe and breast-line became entangled. To stay at such a depth under water for more than half an hour was to court death. And yet Leverctt, in his anxiety to release his comrade, went down and remained be- low for two hours, ultimately bringing his mate to the surface, but not until he himself was completely exhausted. Unfortunately, as some readers may remember, the sequel to this splendid feat of heroism was a somewhat sad one; for Trnpncll, the rescued diver, who had been five and a half hours in the water, succumbed to the shock a day or two later. No better example, however, of the pluck and comradeship which ex. is‘. between men engaged in this dan- gerous calling could be found than that furnished by Leverett’s bravery. To Captain Mattson, of the Swedish barque Flora, all credit is due for his ingenuity and courage. While in the lay of Biseay the, vessel sprang a leak, necessitating repairs from the outside. This the skipper successfully undertook, clothed in an improvised diving-suit, consisting of a large bag, 16 feet long and 2 feet in diameter, made of sail- cloth. This, which was kept in shape by metal rings and provided with arm. holes, sleeves. and a small window, was with its occupant lowered over the ves- sel's side. ' THE GALLANT CAPTAIN scon located the damage, and despite the proximity of a shark and the fact that he narrowly escaped drowning by the inrush of water through a small hole, accomplished his hazardous task in \vorkmanlike fashion. The dramatic episode in Victor Hugo’s romance, “The ’l‘oilcrs of the Sea,” was re-enacted in real life when a diver named Palmer, in the employ of the Cape Town Harbor Board, descended to a depth of 35 feet to examine into the damage done by the Dunvegan Castle when she collided with the South Arm Pier. The water was clear, and the diver thought to proceed with his work under favorable conditions. when, sud- denly. from behind a dislodged block of concrete shot a hideous tentacle that caught him by the leg. The next mo- ment his arm was gripped, and an octo- pus, emerging from its lurking-place, flung iLs other feelers around its lucklefe victim, who, having no knife, was at the mercy of his pitiless assailant. Fortunately, Palmer kept his presence of mind; he pulled the signalâ€"cord, and his comrades above commenced to haul him up. Slowly he rose to the surface, whence he emerged with the sea-mon- ster still onfolding him in its gruesome embrace. Belief, in the form of knife and axe, was promptly at hand, and the creature was cut and chopped from-its prey. When subsequently measured it was found to be NEARLY 12 FEET ACROSS. An equally formidable foe is the shark. which is so much dreaded by dive-rs in the southern seas that few will i \\‘(‘I‘I\’ save within the. bars of an iron cage. Lambert. the diver. when en- gaged off the island of Diego Garcia upon a coal hulk that had bunt fouled ]l\' a steamer, distuittcd such protection. and might have fallen a victim to his tcrnerity.

Some. years later, when his 1058 was wellâ€"nigh forgotten, he. was at work off the Italian coast. on a sunken vessel. His labor was gruesome. in the, extreme, for the bodies of those who had been drowned remained below. In the cabin hr came upon two corpses locked in an embrace of direst hate. One was that. of his brotherkof whom he had heard noâ€" thing for nrany yearsâ€"the other that of a woman, in wirese breast. was burfed the blade of his long-lost (tagger, where- of the hilt was hidden in her murderer-‘5 rigid grasp. On September 22nd, 1369. two (livers, named Jones and (iirvan, between whom there had been some ill-feeling, “pro at. work together on the wreck of tn; Royal George. which foundered off Portmouth in 178?, when Girvan. who was a very powerful man, made a sud- dcrt attack upon his mate. The latter endeavored to escape, but the other, seizing him by the leg, frustrated the attempt. Desperately did Jones struggle, and at. last. with a frantic kick. broke the lens of (jirvan‘s helmet. Through the crack rushed the water, and (lirvan, now himself in sore straits, pulled the signal cord. His call was promptly answered, but. only just in time, for he was at. death's door when hauled up. Three. days. however, in llaslar Hospital completely restored him, and the. two submarine duellists subsequently worked together in the greatest harmony.~ London Tit-Bits. “9â€"...â€" A PRINCESS 0F MYTHS. Supposed to Have Saved the Lite of Cap- tain John Smith. Princess Pocahontas, the Red Indian girl whose skeleton was supposed to have been unearthed the other day at Gravcsend, England, rccontly, might well be christened the Princess of Myths. For of all :the many romantic stories that have gathered, in the course of Int) years, about her name, scarce one has any foundation in fact. She was not even a pninoess. Her father, l'owhatan, was merely a sub- chief of a small and roving band cf savages. The 'most romantic reported episode in her career was when she was sup- posed 'to have saved from death at the stake the famous Captain John Smith, by interposing her own body between that of the white captive and his would- be executioncrs. But this story was in- vented by Smith after the appearance of Pocahontas in England. Neither is ti true that she offered her band to Smith in marriage. She was, in fact, already married to the chief (f a neighboring tribe, from whom she was treacherously stolen by a certain Samuel Argall. As a ransom, seven white captives, with some muskcts, axes. and other goods, were sent into t‘e English camp, according to agree ment. Argall kept both the ransom and the girl, and presently, growing tired If her, gave her to one John Rolfe. who had her baptized in the name of Ile- bccoa, afterwards going through a form of marriage with her. Rolfe took her to England in 1516. but she only lived until the year following, dying of con- sumption at Gravesend on board the vessel that was to have conveyed her i to iher native land. In London she was known as the beautiful savage.” But La Belle Sauv- age Yard, off Ludgate Hill, was not called after her, despite all assertions to the contrary. Neither was she in .e- ality beautiful, but. a very ordLnary look- in;3 girl indeed. M?â€" SAVES LITTLE LIVES. Most liquid medicines advertised to cure stomach and bowel troubles and sttmmer complaints contain opiates and are dangerous. When the mother gives Baby‘s Own Tablets to her little one she has the guarantee of a govern» rnent analyst that this medicine does not contain one particle of opiate or narcotic. Therefore, she can feel that her little (mes are safe. There is no other medicine can equal Baby's Own Tablets in preventing summer corn- plaint-s or curing them if they come on suddenly. Keep a box of 'f‘ab'ets al- ways at handâ€"they may sate your child’s life. Mrs. C. E. Hancock. flay- mond.

At any rate that is the assurance of the lpopular song; though, as a matter of fact, the tossing. inconsistent waves a'togc'ther repudiate any allegiance whatever to her rule. And yet the rnighty British Fleet, whichâ€"â€"under ’l’rovidencoâ€"is the defender of our homes against the jealous foreigner, who would fly at our throat if he dare, IS a spectacle of stately and imposing raastcrdom; especially when, as at the igrra". I'( vi ‘w recently held, a large num- 'L-cr of battleships. cruisers, and other ‘C’raft are assembled together. l-ltnbarking upon the barge of one (I the, battleships, a large open boat tow- ed by a small stem picket-boat, the visi- tors invited to witness the review soon have an opportunity of experiencing how futile is the claim of Britannia to rule the waves. For in a very short time the heavy barge is pitching and tossing in a manner which, to those not accustomed to the vagaries of the deep, is distinctly disquieting; especi- ally as, frdzn time to time, a great wave breaks over the bows of the boat, drenching everyone, from stem to stem. And so it goes on for nearly half an hour, some few of the guests gmdually beonning paler and greener, until at length the battleship is reached, and, with some difliculty, the visitors board her. And what a spectacle of Imassive, stupendous power; and what an amaz- ing and altogether bewildering multi- plicity of means of defiance does she present. Gigantic cannon, one well- aimed shot sufficient to disable an en- emy's vessel miles away.'deadly. lethal torpedoes. which, stealthin and rapid- ly pursuing their unseen course beneath the surface, strike the foe, and in a. linemen-t a fine battleship is shattered, Land plunges headlong into the deep; innumerable. smaller guns. and other weapons of offence; together with mOst marvellous and complex electrical and other appliances of all kinds for direct- ing and firing the guns and torpedoes from distant parts of the ship. And now suddenly the cannon roar along the entire line in salute to the King-Efmrwror of the great British Enr- pire, who in his fine yacht steams slow- ly between the lines- of nearly two trunâ€" dicd battleship<. cruisws. gunboats, destroyers. subrnarinrs. and other war vessela rranncd by five and thirty thou- sand of Britain’s sons; while as each V0350] is passed a roar of lusty cheer- ing salutes King Edward.
