TIME TO BRIGHTEN SHABBY FURNITURE BY MARY HAMILTON TALBOT. Do you ever look ,around the house, and wish the furniture did not look so shabby? It always appears worse in the spring when the sunshine shows up every defect. If you have clever fingers, can use hammier and tacks, a pair of eeissors, needle and thread, glue and a paintbrush you can do much toward rejuvenation. When the webbing strips and•cam- brie on the bottom of an upholstered chair begin to break away, get wire netting of the grade called by hard- ware dealers "cellar netting. Cut a pattern by the removedcambric bot- tom, making no allowances, however, for the turned -under edges, as they one of course nceneeded for -the net- ting. With small - size, duble-headed tacks nail it into the chair frame where the cambric came off, without disturbing the webbing. Then cover it with a piece of new cambric and you will have a seat stronger than when it was new. If the spring breaks loose at the top; there ie no use in just pushing it back expecting it to stay. Instedd, take a piece of tin, of a diameter a trifle larger than that of the spring, and with its edges bent down to make it' mushroom shape. Have four holes through, this piece of tin. Reach' up and put it over the top of the unruly spring. Pull it firmly down with cord that you have passed through the four holes. Tie it down on the spring head as you would tie on a bonnet. When this has been done it en= tirely "out of sight and will prevent. the loosened end of the spring from working through the upholstery. The home craftsman can recover an upholstered chair. Rip, the old cover off carefully and use it as a patterer foroutting the new material. Follow piecings and seams in the new cover. Cover the seat first, then the inner arms, the front of the seat, which is usually put on with a• welt, and the outside back cover last. If you use tacks under the `material they will - soon cause it to wear through unless you place a narrow piece of thin cardboard over them, To clean rattan or willow furniture which is just dusty use the blower of your vaqutint cleaner.

WOLF, sae Once • upon a time there was a living of India who felt that hewas a,vory great monarch indeed, but tae feared that his people did not sufficiently realize Ms greatness, and tried to think of some way in }which he could bring himself' more prominently be- fore them. Like a great many people who live to -day, he thought there wee nothing attracted so much attention as a great noise. So, after pondering the matter . for some time, he called his ministers of state together and told them that he had one desire. They, with one voice, eagerly request- ed to be informed of his wish, '"2 desire," ho said, "that a great tambour be trade. I' want it so Large that When struck the sound of .it may be heard at a distance of telt Leagues from the palace." te, The ministers felt sure' that suet a drum could not be made, but the king was a little hastyin speaking some- times, and they did not wish to oppose him. Each man was afraid to speak to for himself, so they all spo .,Ice together, , saying: Sire,• such a thing is impossible" "Why can't it be done?" cried the king, angry at once. "It must be done, if I say 50. There is no such word as •'iossibler' in my court." Happily for tlw frightened counsel lois, an officer of high rank in the court,who was devoted, alike to the king 'and to the people, entered at that moment. When the matter was explained to him, he said at "once: "Sire,' I will undertake to .construct. a :tambour which will be heard, riot only ten leagues from the palace, but from one end of the kingdom to the other, But it: will cost a great dead." The king was delighted and said; "I will open my treasury to thee. Take all my' wealth. I will give it all gladly for the tambour which I am determined to' possess." So the king gave Kandon access to all his treasures, and awaited results. Kandori had all the royal treasure taken to the gateway of the palace, and soldit, receiving for it .a largo sum of money. This done, he had this proclamation issued throughout the ;whole empire: "To -day his Majesty, the King, dispenses favors. Full of affection for his people, he desires to relieve the poor and needy of his em- pire. Let all the unfortunate gather at the paiace gate." The poor at once set forth from every corner of: the empire, each per- son carrying a sack. They filled the Gowns through' which they passed to overflowing, and tine highway was ever thronged with a moving mass of people, all hastening toward the pal- ace. The thought of the riches they were to have so filled the minds of the people that they could think of no- thing else, save once in a while, a lit- tle feeling of gratitude toward the King. This little feeling of gratitude grew stronger and deeper as the days went Ile and ,life become so much easier and more comfortable for them, that at last it grew so strong that it re- sembled a feeling of worship for the monarch who has so relieved their burdens. In about one year the King asked Bandon for the tambour "It is com- pleted, Sire." "I have riot heard the beat of the drum." "Nay, Sire, but if your Majesty will deign to visit the interior of the king- dom you will hear the voice of the tambour. It resounds, indeed, front all parts of the world." The King set forth and travelled all over India. Everywhere great crowds gathered about him, demonstrating their deep love. Kandon had won for him a never-before-oceupieidthrone ' in their hearts; and, astonished by . the acclamations of jay, love and de- votion, he cried: "Whence come these worshipping throngs of my people?
