"Oae of the prettiest occupations in the world for a woman nowadays," said the representative of a welh known art publishing houses uiS the binding of books. Of course, one . must have considerable artistic taste | in order to acquire the craft but arjtistic taste is not so rare at present, ; and there are scores of girls wearing ; their lives away as clerks and teach' ers who would become skilled binders with little difficulty. The methods purI sued by an individual worker, who j aims to produce unique effects, are 'entirely different from those of a big modern bindery, and the trade can only flourish in great cities where ; there is a large and wealthy class from which to draw patrons. The art : binder uses very few tools, and the | entire outfit consists of half a dozen instruments, shaped like bodkins^ ft ; heavy leather pad. a wooden niallet. a paste pot. some needles and waxed thread and a supply of gold leaf. The whole collection costs only three or four dollars, and every detail Of the work is done painstakingly by hand. Such craftsmen make a specialty of i binding fine books in such a way as ! to add to their beauty and value. The ! volumes they operate upon are gener; ally new, because old ftud rare books | are, of course-, preserved in their j original covers, an$ great pains are | taken to make the binding harmonize with the contents. Not long ago t saw a copy of Watson's 'Hymn to the Sea and ' Other Foems,' which had been rebound by a young woman who has a shop, or 'studio.' as ?he calls it, in Chicago. The material used was very dark morocco and the tooled design represented sprays of seaweed. The inside of the covers, which to a connoisseur are just as important as the outside, were ornamented with a small figure of a starfish in gold, scattered irregularly over the surface. The effect was exquisite. She got $65 for binding that book, and worked at it, off and on. for a month, but she had at least half a dozen others in hand at the same time. There are two other women binders in Chicago and five or six in Xew York. They all have as much work as they can possi bly do."?New Orleans Times-Democrat. More Diplomacy.

No cooking utensil should require. if properly handled, the vigorous scraping to which it is often subjected. Very few of our modern dishes can long stand such usage. Many clinging substances may be removed if hot water is poured into the vessel and it is placed over the lire for a few minutes. Many good and neat cooks never wash cake or bread-tins. They are carefully wjped out with clean brown paper, some blunt instrument being first used to get off any remaining particles oi the compound baked in them. fometliinj New in ? loor Covering, A western man has invented a ma chine for nijikin?r tillincr of prairie grass from which very pretty matting is made. The difficulty hitherto in utilizing this material has been the impossibility of carryingaToug the lengths of grass so that the twisted rope to be used for woof would not be uneven or have rough ends showing. This difficulty has been overcome by the us1 of the new patent. The dry grass is of a pleasant light olive color and when woyen with a warp of scarlet yellow, blue or green makes an attratoive floor covering somewhat thicker than a China matting. Up to this time only the western prairie grasses have been utilized. but the salt grasses on the Atlantic coast, or even some variety of meadow grasses, are equally available for the purpose. Attempts have been made at various times to use the salt grass, but without success. I'mnilv Mending. With duo respect to the old saw, "A stitch in time saves nine." manufacturers make the toes, heels ODd knees of children's stockings double, and reinforce the seats of small trousers so that mothers |ie saved a great deal ol old fashioned mending that formerly fell to their lot. Yet it must be admitted that the hand knit stocking wore longer than the factory knit one does, even with double knees, toes and heels. And the homespun trousers ot a few generations ago would outlast the cloth spun in factories in these modern days. We have added to tile finish of our clothes, but is has been at the expense of durability. It still pays to reinforce stockings at the knee and heel, in spite of the double weight guaranteed. To do this, baste okl but strong stockinet on the inside, and darn it lightly down. Do not do it too carefully. It will not. worth while. It generally pays to buy material enough to make two pairs of sleeves in all outside garments intended for durable wear. It also pays to buy two.pairs of trousers to boys' suits, inasmuch as jackets generally outlast the trousers, however carefully the trousers are mended. Cloth .darning is an art in itself. Lay the edges of the parts to be darned evenly together, thread by thread, as near as you can. If the cloth is thick-enough darn them together with a ravelling of the goods, and between the surfaces of the cloth. When the cloth is so thick that the thread of the darning can be concealed, use a silk as near the color cf the goods as you can get. Brush the nap down over the darned place, and it will be practically invisible.?New York Trib* une. ,^gi^/c<y-fj*//c / J?L x ReC/P?S Sweet Cucumber Pickles?Take ripe cucumbers, cut in two, scrape out the seeds, cut into strips and soak over night in salt water.

BE ENTERS AN EMPHATIC REFUTATION Say** That He It Now Out/>f Politic#, But Declare* His Fealty to the Democratic Party. In a speech at Decatur, Ala., Friday night, which was a number not on his programme in the district, caused by the stinging animadversions appearing in The Huntsville Mercury on his alleged bad Democratic faith, General Wheeler declared his undying allegiance to the Democratic party, announced his fealty to W. J. Bryan,and completely refuted Governor Roosetelt's statement that he was supporting the Republican platform. The general emphatically declared it the duty of every Democrat to turn out and vote the ticket, to give Judge Richardson a large majority, so he would not be handicapped in obtaining legislation. He replied to criticisms made by Tho Mercury, saying the Huntsville papers, through enmity to him, had not treated him fairly, and Lad not reported his speech at Huntsville as he had delivered it. He said he had made practically the same speech there that ho had made here. They criticised him because he had not us^d Mr. Bryan's name. If he had not it was merely because he had forgotten it in the earnestness of his talk. He could have done it with perfect propriety. No two men bad stood closer than he and Bryan in congress. Only once had they differed, but that could not keep him from being for him. He had never seen a man with such indomitable will, such a clear, analytical mind; such power of persuasion, and such influence over men. If elected, Mr. Bryan would make one of the distinguished presidents of the century. Ho had said in his Huntsville speech that the two great parties, under normal conditions, had been alternatinc-in control of the eovernment. o ? ~ -?j s. ^ taking np the beginning of the alternation from th^'time of the whigs and : swinging the^endulnm on down to Cleveland's defeat of Blaine,' Harrison's defeat of Cleveland, Cleveland's second victory, and the last swing of the pendulum to McKinley in 1896.

I BOX DELIVERY SATISFACTORY. ~ Second A*?istant Postmaster General Submit# His Annual Report. The annual report of W. S. Shallenberger, second assistant postmaster general, was made public Friday. It sbowe that on June 30th last tbe annual rate of expenditure for inland mails service was $55,146,060, for foreign service $2,014,538;.total expenditures, $57,160,598.

A Washington special says: The alignment of the powers on the British-German agreement is now complete. Aside from Italy aud Anstria, whose adherence to the agreement was expected, owing to their political relations with Germany, Japau is the only one of the powers which has given unconditional assent to the agreement. As the matter now stands five of the powers are united in all the terms of the agreement, viz: Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria aud Japau; three of the powers, United States, Frauce aud Russia have accepted the clauses relatiug to the opeu door, and the territorial integrity of China, but withhold action on the third clause relating to future procedure in case any power seizes territory.

It Is announced that a large number of Finns will come to America this year. Steamship companies have made estimates as high as 55,000, but 4is there are only two and one-half - * ? *?! .j million people In tne grana aucny <u Finland, these figures seem to be exaggerated. It is hardly probable that one person in every fifty "will emigrate. Nevertheless, it is certain that the policy of the new Czar of Russia is driving from his country a large number of his most valuable subjects. Fntil last year, the usual number of Finnish emigrants who landed annually In New York was under 2,000, although in the early '80s many more came, attracted by prospects of work on railways and in mines. Last year the number had risen to 6,420. The immediate cause of unrest among the Finns is the edict of a year :ago, by which the Russia army conscription was introduced into the i grand duchy. The Russian navy has been successfully manned by Finnish sailors, and the Czar has evidently concluded these sturdy people would make good soldiers. This is a violent departure from what had been Russia's policy toward the Finns up to ten years ago. The grand duchy was ceded to Russia by Sweden in 1809. The Czar Alexander I. issued an edict guaranteeing their constitutional rights "for all perpetuity." Each Czar since that time has issued a similar edict. About ten years ago Alexander II. began steps for the Russianization of Finland by abolishing its postal system, suspending its criminal code and introducing the Russian language Into the schools. Nicholas II. did nothing until his conscription proclamation. Within a week 522,931 adult Finns signed a protest, wmt-u carried to St. Petersburg by a delegation of 500 men, but the Czar refused to receive them. Beside sending Russian officials throughout the grand duchy and abolishing the Finnish dag and postage stamp, the Csar has now again interfered in the Finnish schools, probably the best in Europe. The University at Helslngford has 2,134 students, 285 of whom are women. There are fortyfour lyceums in the country, and out of a total of 458,000 children of school age, fewer than 19,000, only 4 per cent, do not receive instruction. By imperial edict hereafter the Russian language is to be used exclusively, and about half the subjects taught hitherto are declared seditious. The Finns, who are good Lutherans, fear that in this way the religion of the Greek Church will be thrust upon them. Their national ' spirit is still strong, and they deeply resent this blow at their native tongue and institutions. The Finns have always been faithful subjects of the Czar. They have never plotted against him. There was no excuse on such ground for hls action. The United States has nothing to fear from Finnish Immigration. The peasants are thrifty, industrious and upright. In this ease, Russias loss is America's gain.?Kansas City Star. The American Invasion of London. The suggestion in your issue of today for providing volunteer guides for our American, colonial and country cousins on their visits to London strikes me as an admirable one. How often do we see our visitors gazing aimlessly about the streets, jostled by the crowds or standing apart at street corners trying in vain to find out in "Baedeker" what they want. SureJy there are many Londoners of both sexes possessed of a competent knowledge of the chief churches, museums and objects of interest (or who could soon obtain such knowledge) who would be glad to devote a day or half a day now and again during the holiday season to escorting about London small parties, say of eight or ten.?

Chicago Hard Pot to Find Unnamed Taach* iai Ladles. "It is not very often that I want to swear," said the principal of a south side private school which prepares girls for college, "but I certainly felt like It when I opened iny mail yesterday morning." . j "Did some mother who had con- j ] tracted to send her daughter to you j write at the last moment to say that j she had changed her mind?" asked his friend. 1 "No, it was not that," answered the principal. "I'm so used to that sort of thing that it no longer causes even a frown. Two of my best teachers wrote, that they would be unable to keep their contracts for the coming year, as they were going to be married in the fall." "Well, you can't blame the poor women for wanting to get married, can you?" "It wouldn't do any good if I could," replied the boarding-school man. "But I do say they have no right to think of such a thing. Now, both these wo- j men have been witn me since inej were graduated from a well-known woman's college. They told me at the start that they intended to devote their lives to teaching, or I would not have taken them. For four years they have j been most devoted to their work. They aeemed perfectly contented and absolutely devoid of sentiment. It's this summer business that does it You never can tell what is going to happen during the summer. They went to the mountains this year, instead of the seashore, although I advised against it I never could understand why men and women get to thinking of marriage as soon as they get into the mountains, but they do. If they had gone to the seashore or to Paris they would have come back to me more determined than ever to moke teaching their life work." "Well, you won't have to worry long about filling their places?" remarked the friend. "There are plenty of applicants, to be sure, but It is a hard job to pick a teacher that will suit. One never knows their motives. So many girls start to teach who do not have to earn a living. They think that they should do something because their - people j have spent so much on their education, j That sort of girl always has some ro- i mance which is just about to break j iI into *a fire, and the fact that she has started to work for herself drives the young man to the point.
