Handsome and ornamental ruge may be
made at home, One of the least expensive
is the Chenille rug. Collect all your weel-
en earapa—no matter how emelt or how
much seiled—old flannels can be dyed with
bright dyes and add very much to the beau-
ty of the rug. Cut all the pieces into cross-
wise strips about half an inch wide; the
length is of no consequence. Thread a
needle with very strong thread doubled,
Gather the pieces through the oentre with
not toe fine atitohee, As feat as a piece in
gathered push it down ohne to the knot.
Push each piece ae tight as possible to the
next one. Continue in thin way until the
thread le full, then tie en another tui ead
and proceed se before. Make is ' skeins
about six yards leng. It requires about
ene hundred ,and fifty yards for a rug.
Take it to a carpet weaver and have it
woven three-quarters of a yard wide. If
yea have enough reds of different shades
to make fifty-eight yards for a border at
either end, and have the centre " hit er
miss," it makes a beautiful rug.
These ruga are very bandeeme, and being
alike on both sides, wear beautifully. The
only expense is in weaving, generally fifty
Dente er one dellar. This work utilizes
pieces that would etherwiee find their way
in the rag bag.
Very pretty ruga oan be made of small
silk scraps, no matter how much defaced
they will all work in. Cut in stripe about
half an inch wide and two inches long. Take
a piece of ticking, having the stripe about
one-third of an inch wide, cut it into the
size of the rug wanted. Thread a eewing
machine with coarse thread (number thirty)
and needle. Plane one of the tioking atrlpea
under the needle, then lay en the silk pieces
close together, with the middle of eaob piece
en the ticking stripe, and stitch dewn to the
end of the stripe, then stitch back again
close to the last row of stitching ; this will
make it strong. Put the ticking in place
with the next stripe under needle. Feld

Deputy Marshall Trammell journeyed
through Union county, Georgia, recently
and stayed all night at the heuse of a re-
putable citizen near BlairviIle, The next
morning when he went to feed his horse he
found It without mane or tail, and bleeding
frem two ugly wounds in the side. The
saddle and bridle had been out In pieced, and
a note pinned to a piece of the saddle warn-

to walk to Blalrville, and was that at twine
on the way, This was all the work of moon -

his eix•year.eid daughter wanted to go
home and started en foot. She ought to
have gone south, but went north among the
mountains and canons. When the moon
went down she crept under a sage bash and
slept, but awoke at daylight and went on.
In the mean time Bodie had offered $100
for her rescue, and a searching party with
Indians started out. They found her next
day trudging along, hungry, but undismay-
ed. She had walked twenty-six miles. She
said she wasn't afraid.

engaged in the case before the court when
the Judge, looking up frem bis notes, ob-
served, "If the old feller is all right, he had

Frank Bunten and Jim Adams of Mucic,
Carter county, Ky., wore enemies, Thie
was why Adams gave Mrs. Bunton a thrash-

fired a lead of bnokehot into his upturned

In deolining the Blehoprlo ef Edinburgh,
Canon Lidden says that, for one reason :
" During a great part of the lastw ear I was

seriously out of .health, so mnoh so ae to be
obliged to give up my regular 000npatione
nearly altogether ; and,' although by God's
mercy, and as a ooneegneaoe of the long rest
whioh the doctors insisted on, I am feeling
fairly well new, I have yet to discover how
far or how long a time I oan return to my
old habite of work. Until thio le clear, it
would appear at least doubtful whether I
ought to undertake new and very serious
duties." The Canon's delicate constitution
gives hie friends much selioitude, and he
will probably never be a well man.
