Ayer Ce., Lowell, Mass, A SIMPLE HOME FITMENT. inexpeneive but Convenient Arrangemeot For a Literary Corner. Every home bas iis odd corners and awkward places that the ordinary dis. position of furniture is powerless tri 'beautify or snake %instill, but there is uq reaeOisw13y Uses° May uot, by the L'IreatAltV CORNEa aid of the eimple materials within the reach of any one and the eXertion of a Itt1eskill and ingenuity, be lifted above the standard of the commonplace to a sphere of beauty and usefulness, With a view to assisting the average housewife in gainieg simple borne fit- ments Decorator and Furnisher gives an illustrated description of au artistic but simple arrangement for a literary corner. This will be found advantageous in, hoznes too restrieted n epee to de. Vote an entire room to a library. Very often the home conditions will not al- low of an extra room being given up, however small the space required for books, magazines and eimilar belong- ings. The arrangement suggested by the authority quoted. is an inexpensive solu- tion of the problezn and has the added advantaae of breaking op in an attract- ive manner what would otherwise be a long and awkward wall space. In this instance au available portion of the living room may be arranged to make a simple and attractive fitment or and if care and attention are given the problem it need by no means look awk- ward or out of place. Of course the requirements and con- ditions will regulate the size and Amount of space to be talren up, but it would be advisable to start from a cor- ner of the room if possible. The shelves kr books are simply made, with no at- tempt at ornamerttation, and should be of wood to 'meta the Rath of the room or of pine or whitewood painted to harmonize with the prevailing tone of the room. Curtains of denim may be added if desired. The few necessary pieces of furniture for comfort and lase and the books in place, it pretty rug underfoot, and your literary corner will readily assume the ,ndividuality and suggestion of home comfort that go so far toward eaaking even the simplest room inter- esting, attractive and homelike. Photograph Screens. Nearly every Woman has an acoumw- lation of ohotographs that she doesn't know what +0 do with. There isn't one in the lot that she could bear to destroy, and yet they are very much in the way. She really can't afford to pack them en- tirely out of sight, for many of the orig- inals may appear on the scene at any, time. A pbotograph screen solves the proislere and makes the disposition of the pictures an easy nsatter. The New York Sun tells that these screens come In all sizes, holding from 4 to 100 or more photographs. They are made of silk, satin or cedar wood, and the pan- els fold after the style of the ordinary screeu. One side is hand painted in wa- ter colors, and the other is e.utirely filled with pockets for holding the pictures. .A. folding screen is it useful artiole in bedroom, boudoir or living room, and one covered with the faces of ones' friends or of interesting personages is particularly valuable and interesting. The 'beauty about the photograph soreen s that if otii-dets tired of the faces all e'tas to do is to turn them to the wall and then rest the eye on the pastoral scenes on the other side of the screen. Sweet on as a Tenet Accessory. Did you ever suffer torment from a shoe tight in one spot? Here is a reme 4 for it Apply sweet oil to the stook Ing where the rub comes. It is better than applying it to the boot, because it softens the inside of the boot, where it is needed, instead of the outside. Sweet oil is an excellent household companion. It heals burns or bruises. Used in the form of baths, it feeds the skin, pre- vents colds and gives flexibility to the muscles. Delicate people derive the greatest benefit from being rubbed With olive oil, and for fragile children tt is invaluable, especially when t(.12 is , 1^ 1^ Is Being Worked by the Defence fOr Torn Nulty.

This work is aPplicable to a variety of decorative purposes. It is easily executed, and the effect when flaished is excellent. The fouudation upon tybich ib is worked is it cotton fob- inersrcoste Derterazo. rio made in vsbite or buff and can be had in narrow and wide widths. When I worked iu the best tapestry crewel I wool, it has the great advantage of be- ing easily washed. It is best to have the design drawn, as transferring the , pattern is seldom satisfactory upon the rough surface. A set of chair backs, cushions and bedspreads has been worked with great effect. The only . stitches required are simple stem stitch, which must be used in outlining the design, and a darning stitch carried under the upper threads of the material fills in the pattern. Iu commencing the work it is best to do all the darning of each leaf and petal before working the outline in stem stitch, which com- pletes the flower or leaf. The right side of the material upon which to work hi somewhat like huokabaok toweling, and the znanner of working is by running the wool under each thread. The darn- ing is only done on the surface, not through the foundation, vbile the out- lying stem stitch is always taken through the material. The best needles for this work are the ordinary wool nee- dles with blunt point. The flowers ; should be worked in their natural col- ors. Three or four shades are required for flowers and for leaves. In the design the poppies are scarlet, yellow and li- I lac, and tbe leaves not too bright e I shade, When the work is finished, a good wide trimming of torchon lace makes it -Complete, whether for chair and sofa backs or table oovers, etc. • IMM•11,1•1111•••••• One Witnete Swore Ile Sow the Aceused Woman Hiss Parelow en the Balcony -Jurymen's lexereise.

CHINESE NSW YEAR'S DAY. How the Celestiale of the Queen City Ceiebrated the Brent. Toronto, Jan. 21 -Sat -army was most interesting day to about 60 of To- ronto's citizens. It was New Year's Day to the people of China, and all her SODS, who are scattered wide over the face of the earth. The day was also important from the fact that it was "settling -up day." No Chinaman, if possible, will begin the New Year in debt. The Celes- tial thinks it bad luck to owe a man a "oentee" on the saored holiday. The 22nd of January is not always New Year's Day. Sometimes the festival falls in February. The date depends on the moon, similarly to our Easter. In. the homeland it is a, period of great rejoicing and no work is clone for a month. Out- side of China, however, that is impossi- ble, as the laundry has to go ou. But the general festivities go along with the work just the same. On Saturday they called on each other, shook their 07;r11 hands (not each other's) and then exchanged cardS. In many of the shops sandal wood was burnt to give a sweet smelling odor to the atmosphere. Large shipments of candy, nuts, cake and various sweets were received and were scattered among each other and friends with a lavish hand, But, mingled with their happiness on Saturday was a tinge of fear for the safety ot the empire at home. Like all Orientals, the Chinese are very superstitious regarding any changes in the sun's please. On Satur- day, for the first time in oelituries, there Was a partial eclipse of the sun and this was looked on as a moat disastrous omen. An adult perspires 28 ounces in 24 hours.

"And forgive us eau* debts as we forgive our debtors." Forgiveness of sins in His name is what we aro to preaeh. ev- erywhere (Luke xxiv, 47), and when we receive Him Ivo are assured that our sins are forgiven forllis name's sake and shall no snore be remembered (I John 11, 12; Ise. 25), but vrhile NVO are in these mortal bodies we shall need constant for- giveness; hence the comfort of the assur- ance that "if we confess our sins He is aithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteous- ness." It is the sense of the vast forgive- ness whichwe enjoy from Him that enables us to be kind one to another, tender heart - d, forgiving one another even as God for Christ's sake. has forgivenus (Eph. iv, 32). 13. "And lead us not into temptation, ut deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory orever. Amen." God never tempts any ne te do wrong (Jas. 1, 18), but He does try menfor their present and eternal good, and for His great glory, mud it is blessed to be tried and receive graoe to endure (Jas. , 12). lie will never try us above what e axe able (I Cor. x, 18). As to the evil ne, He will deliver us from every evil work and preserve us unto His heavenly kindgom (II Tim. iv, 18). The kingdom is His, the power is His, and the glory. Salvation and service from beginning to end are all His, and of Him, a,nd it be- comes us ever 'to say, "Thine, 0 Lord, is the greatness and the power teed the glory - and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, 0 Lord, and. Thou art peelted as head above an. 14. "For if ye forgive men their tres- passes your Heavenly Father will also for- give you." Fellowship with God depends upon our being one with Him In all things. We may want with Him, and He vrill dwell in us and walk, in us (II Con 16), but we must'be wining to humble ourselves and agree with Him in every- thing (Mo. vi, 8; margin; Amos ill, 8). 15. "But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither veill yourFather forgive your trespasses." 'When Peter asked how often he should forgive his brother and suggested seven times as a possible ex. tense, our Lord answered, " TJntil seventy times seven." He then told of one who was forgiven 10,000 talents, but would nob forgive his fellow an hundred pence; hence he was severely punished. Our Lord add- ed,e'So likevvise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses (Math. xviii; 21-85).
