Put ever this a layer er two of nice batting, Cover ib with a piece of cloth like that underneath and oatoh it through and through in vote with blue zephen worsted, passed lightly without drawing tight and out these loop Nit by the thread en the right aide. If preferred, a strand or two of yellow oan be added to the blue worsted; the general appearance will be that of daisies scattered over it, Besides being cheap and very soft looking, it makes a very sinful addition to a bed, and oan be easily ripped up at any time and Made over. The edges can be naught to. gether by overcasting with worsted or bind - bag with narrow ribbon.—Hotasekeeper. 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 bank the fringe, made by the preoeeding row, back out of the way and proceed as before. A black border and mixed centre are very rich looking. After the rug le fin- ished line with some heavy material to keep It flat,—Goal Housekeeping, The Oahe Basket.

OId Tam Murray, who was well known for bis Radical opinions, was interviewed at the Inst general election by the laird's wife, who was canvassing for the local Tery candidate, and great ouriosity was experienced by Tam's comrades ae to what receptien the lady would meet with. " Weel, how gat ye en wi' my teddy?' was the first gneetion asked at Tam, as he presented himself at the smithy on tho evening of the interview, "Oh, brawly," said Tam, with a twinkle in Ida eye : " I'm thlnkin' there'll be a pheas- ant up my way the mare." "Ay, .man.; what said she ? Was she askin' yo to vete for Sir George ?"

To attract both the one an other, she properly realises that one best ways is through her agricultur sources. And it is from recognition o fact in ane united effort that Canada riving so great a benefit. Than Ca Clark, now in charge of the Agrionl court, there oan be no better authori this point, and he emphatically say " The foot that we exhibit our agrionl products as one Dominion rather th isolated Provinces is a great point, don't spread the whole over so many o as our friends the Aaetraliane have All question of jealoney between Prov and Province, dfetriot and dietriot. is en ly done away with, and we preeent a front. No matter regardiog what Pro inquirers want information, I can pain explanations with the preclude of e part, from eastern Prince Edward Ialan the distant Vancouver," The visitors to the Agricultural Co fall, according to Captain Clark, into en the following olaeees :—Those ha relatives and friends in Canada, t about to emigrate, the investing ohne,the commercial plana. To the first of these having friends in Canada, many tors belong, and they all have report these in the new land, As a whole, t reports are so far eatiefaotery, as ehowi strong liking for the natural condit of Canada, and a faith in their own ture independence, That there she be no unfavorable reporta would be unnatural as to imagine that every tler who leaves the British shores suited to the new life. This, h ever, Captain Clark finds from perlenoo since he has been in Engle that to fellow up unfavorable repo with care, trading the career of settler at home, is generally to le that he was and is at beet indifferent good heneat work, and altogether wankto succeed in any country and under a circumstances. As to the 'second class visitors, the benefits of the display are redly apparent in the many inquiries literature and, what is still more song after, personal information. London. d not, of comae, in itself enpply an emigrat class of the meat promising kind, and w it not a gathering plane for all people of grdee, the result of the Exhibition in t reaped might not be as desirable as it promieeo to be, And this cosmopolitan Nature of the great metropolis will be more than ever strikingly represented next month when the special railway arrangements throughout the kingdom bring to the Ex- hibition the people of the agricultural ale- trfote of the Provinces, The third and fourth classes of visitors, Britieh investors and men ef.commerce, take in Non but slowly, and take long to digest them. They most not be hurried ; to hurry them in often to arouse their fears of sem' " Yankee trick." Bat though progression is elow it is at least aura, and in this sense satiefaotory. To speak ef ene class of agri- cultural exhibits—grains, seeds, and mill- ing products—Ingeirfea are oonatant for the addressee of shippers. The qualIt of these products is happily a foregone eon- cineien with most of mese men of com- merce. Bat with some there still remains that vague and rapidly vanishing prejudice against all things " Canadian"—a preju dice whioh should teach producera this moral :—" To send amend -rate products to a central emporium such as England Ie to raise a wall of prejudice whioh it will take years of good imports to overcome send nothing if you can't be sure it will bear dote inspection and comparison." Canadian meal and flour are products in which extended inquiry seems prevalent, bat meet of all the Red Fyfe wheat of Mani- teba and the North-West claims attention. Of this the only complaint Is that enough is not to be had. And why I For the vary simple reason that the North-West has not hitherto had the supply to meet these outside demands. " Local demand'." says Captain Clark, " and the wants of Ontario millers are such that the amount available for export out of Canada has been next to nothing. Thia year, en acoonnt of the splendid crop that is ripening, the problem of quantity fer export to Europe will be nelved, and the amount will increase each 'mason when once a genuine start has been made toward direot shipments, Dealers here are willing and anxious to have the wheat, but their business le such that they moat be able to calculate upon a fairly steady supply season after season. The very irregular and isolated quantities of the first-rate grain whioh It has in the past been possible to send do not at all answer the purpose." YOUNG FOLKS.

Last summer two citizens of Cape Cod purchased a fresh water pond of :several acres, and stocked it with small salt -water eels. The pond is now literally alive with large eels that require a ton of food a day and the servloos of ten men and two lighters to gather the food and feed them. The owners are just beginning to take them out and market them, and can soon tell whether the acheme will pay or not. When the patent granolithio sidewalk pavement is first put down it is very stinky, but it hardens quickly. This is why a young couple of Bridgeport who stood on a fresh slab of the composition while bidding each other good night had to be dug out with a pickaxe. Their shoes were ruined but they were very grateful to the night watchman who re- leased them and who promised not to bell. Reports from John L. Sullivan, Jr., who is living with his mother and kindred in Warwick, R. I., indicate that he Ls a veritable chip of the old block.

He can handle weights that would tax the strength of boys twice his age. William Adams, a boy of 17, who was sent to the Detroit House of Conreobion from Idaho in 1883, having been sentenc- ed to prison for life for mail robbery, has jest had his sentence commuted 'to im- prisonment to seven years from the date of his first commitment. The boy, who has been a model convict, broke down completely when told the good newe. "I won't notice the time I've gob to serve," he said. " I suppose I deserve a good big punishment for being caught in such bad company." A man has been ill -requited in Paris for an act of courage. Another man had thrown himself into the Saint -Martin Canal to commit suicide, and was drown- ing, when a stranger leaped into the water and brought him eafely to the bank.

When Squire Carver of Waterville, Me., hurriedly drove on the covered bridge that spans the Sebasbicook for shelter from a sudden shower, he found two young men and two young women taking shelter there also. As soon as they saw'the Squire they conferred eager- ly, and then one of the men asked him if he wouldn't marry the other young man and one of. the young women then and there. They had the necessary papers in proper form, end so, while the rain pattered over their heads and the. Sebasticook gurgled beneath their feet, William McClintock and Admire Jones were made one. The restoration of Dolor to fabrics whioh from one cause or another have desterior• Med in this repeat has sungeeted to vari- ous chemical applications and processes. It has been customary to employ ammon. fa for lire purpoae of neutralizing aside that have accidentally or otherwise de- stroyed the color of the stuffs, dols being noceesarily applied immediately, or the color is usually Imperfectly restored. An application of chloroform has the effect of bringing out the colors as bright as ever.

The Comtesae de Paris, mending to the London Truth, inherited' all • the sporting tastes et her family. In Franco, she was partial to hunting and shooting, breaking skittish ooite, driving four•in•hand, er tiring out three or four horses at a chase.

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- ed him to get out of the country. He had to walk to Blalrville, and was that at twine on the way, This was all the work of moon - shiners. Peter Roux of Mono Lake took hie fam- ily to Bodie, Cal,, to celebrate the Fourth. 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. One of the shrewdest of English Judges is an remarkable for the quickness of his eyes and ears as for the keenness of hie in- tellect. The ether day a stranger in court, e whep espying r with friend, e,,rold feller I in haven't seen yen lately, Are you all right?" The remark was hardly heard beyond the near - eat bystanders, and there was, consequent- ly, considerable bewilderment among those 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 better go outside and say so." Frank Bunten and Jim Adams of Mucic, Carter county, Ky., wore enemies, Thie was why Adams gave Mrs. Bunton a thrash- ing when her hustand was away, and that was why Bunten loaded hie gun with buck- shot and went gunning for Adams. The latter, who waa playing cards maw his enemy coming. He held a good hand, and, laying It face dawn, asked his friends to wait un- til he had settled Bunton, He drew his pistol and orawled under a freight oar, and when Bunton, who had had net seen him, came along, fired and missed him. Banton saw Adams peering from under the oar and fired a lead of bnokehot into his upturned forehead, killing him instantly. In deolining the Blehoprlo ef Edinburgh, Canon Lidden says that, for one reason : " During a great part of the lastw ear I was m 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. Donaldson, the swimmer, recently swam the Mohawk at Schenectady tied hand and foot. A young athlete thought that he could de the same, and after a friend had well tied him he started to Drees; the river. Half way across he gave out and went down. Hie frightened fried in a boat tried to get him into the boat, but couldn't. Neither could he untie the ropes, Mean- while the swimmer was taken with severe cramps. Finally the man in the beat tied a rope around the swimmer's neck, and hue towed the half -drowned athlete to share, where it took considerable rubbing and etimulant to reduce the cramps and get the youth in geed condition again. Lord Hartingten, the Liberal leader wlo has been Mr, Gladstone'. opponent in the recent political struggle, is a man of tireless energy, with a remarkable love and capaoity for study, and with a most tenacious diepo- sitien.
