FOR SWEET CHARITY. How to Furnish a Pincushion Stall a Oi^aar. It l? almost time for the annum breaking out of the bazaar epidemic, which attacks all communities, whether in towu or country, in the fall. I/>tsof women dread these visitations not only Ion account of Ih trou.dv* the., e.uail. but from lite fear of presiding over a "atalf that Is not (to use a commercialism) a "good seller." All doubt on this score may ho sot at rest if a pincushion st*1) he selected. It may he safely looked upon as a "draw." The stock in trade Is neither expensive nor troublepome to provide, and any surplus there may be need never remain long on hand, for a pincushion can claim to rank as a necessary of life. 1 The object with bazaar stock Is first to be equipped with a suMP-lent supply Of novelties and even oddities to make DUTCH PINCUSHION, the stall striking and attractive and next to place one's wares In a good i marketable position. The following pincushion suggestions may certainly be termed novelties In their line: It to the fashion now to have tnoestor pincushions that roach from side to tide of the dressing table and hold not only the supply of ordinary pint, hut the hundred and one hatpins, li^e pins, safety pins, etc., which are In this manner best marshaled for a icholce. The cushion is holster shaped 'and rests on a semicircular wooden ( ^support. The ends arc gathered into J {ui? rouuM or mo Holster ami finished '.off with ribbon streamers, oacli ter,'mlnatln in a colored glass l?oud. This '[idea admits of many variations. Vory ?pinlnt and unusual Is the Dutch pincushion, copied exactly from one used In the land of dikes and windmills Tills pretty article stands about siv inches high, although It may be made of any size. The framework ? ( Is formed of eight pieces of cardboard, "v covered with silk and neatly sewed together it hourglass shape. Another section of silk covered cardboard Is lj BOLSTER CUSHION. (isowed at tho bottom, and the case is <[fiLled with bran or cotton batting tight1'ly paekad. A bran stuffed cushion la 1 deftly fitted Into tho ton and tlm whnU 5ls fluished down tlio sennia with fine fo^rd. A waistband, an It wore, U put Jarinb^d the center of tlio cushion. OH ffnshio^Vxl n,l(l whito cheekerlxjard Psiii* le the quaintest material to use, - ^wlth the top cushion of a hnrmoulxlag #***"' |blue velvet. Hint to tho Waist Maker. The uhlrt waist maker who Is worklug at home must take euro this seasoe to get a good pattern. Very fine patterns are offered for sale, and the woman who wants to make her own waist would do well to purchase a pattern tliut (Its her. After obtaining the pattern It Is a good tiling to cut out a muslin waist. Thus one can bo sure that the pattern fits. Doubtless a few small alterations must be made in It. Then comes the critical part?the adapting of the pattern to the modes of the season. While waists are still upon the blouse | order, It Is noticeable that they fit more I - - and mor,e snugly and that thore Is an " absence of the big bag which once hung boldly down so as to cover tho belt line. All belt lines are risible now, and handsome belts are worn with all waists. Tho homo waist maker should not make tho mistake of having her waist ?too loose. This Is the almost Invarla<!blo fault of the amateur. And the result Is anything but graceful. The new Swnlsts are long in the waist line. They i are cut In long, graceful curves. But, j!on the other hand, they fit snugly. One ('must experiment until one succeeds. I8hoe Bag That Is Praotieal. A practical shoe bag Is made In the following simple way: Cut n strip of heavy cretonne or denim twenty-eight Inches long hy fifteen inches wide. Attach to this n strip the same length, but only twelve inches wide, having first bound one of the long side3 with colored tape. ' Bind the other edges in with those of the longer piece, except at the top, using the same tape. Divide the upper and shorter strip Into pockets the right size for shoes, using tape to mark them, and stitch on the sewing machine. This may have a short flap at the top to quite cover the shoes from dust. Tills bag, when fastened to the Inner side of the closet door, is quite out of the way and at the same time easily within reach. Under this large hag might .. hong a small one made in the same fashion, In which to keep the boxes of shoe paste, clothes for cleaning and brushes for polishing. ' n c I1AJ> A FAXiliXNQ OUT. Tho Mho Who Held Ob Was the Last Quo lit. Judge John M. Harlan and Jamoa B. McCreary canvassed Kentucky together as tho Republican and Democratic candidates thirty years ago. TliOy travelled about tho State on a jo.ut debating tup a ul iu many small mountain placoB had to sleep in tho same bod. They wore warm personal friends, and so did not object to this intimacy. Ono night Mr. Harlan got Into bod first. Senator McCrery was not far behind, and just ns ho entered tho bed Judge Harlan raisod his bulky form- ho is a large man- und said in Ills stentorian voice: "McCreary, there is one thing cortain, the next Governor of Konuoky is in this bed." As he spoke tho bed slats brcko and Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Senator McCreary caught and held himself in bod, and as Judge liarIan reached the floor, said: "John, you are right, the next Governor of Kentucky is still in thin bed." Fun for (lie Neighbors. Virgil P. Kline, tho corporation l.mvA.. /~M 1 ? >- --- it* ,/*. ui vivYoiaiiu, m jiu auuresu upon "Ambition" said: "Ambition Is an excollont thing. Without It the world would not ndvanco. But there are worthy and unworthy ambitions, silly and wise, beneficent and maleficent ones. "Thon there are the peculiar, the distinctive ambitions, such as wo see In childhood. "Thus I once knew a llttlo boy who had an ambition to be a letter carrier and, finding in a cedar chest In the attic u great bundle of love loiters that his mother had been preserving since the days of hor courtship, ho packed them In a leather school satchel and distributed them from house to house throughout the neiglibo rhood." Paying Politeness. "Politeness," said Senator Galllngor, In tho hop? of stilling a rather acrimonious argument In Concord, "always pays." Ilis flushed listeners looked up at him In inquiry, and he smiled and repeated: "Politeness always pays. Two little girls 1 knew wero sot before ft plato containing two bunches of grapes?one a very largo and tempting and perfect bunch, tho other small and hard and green. "The two littlo girls looked at tha two bunches for a space In silence. Then the polite child said: " 'In oo gweedy?' "'No,' the other answered; 'I'a not a bit gweedy.' " 'Then,' said the first, 'oo choose.' " Her Ilcason for Marryhq;. "That excuse Is a very cynical and hopeless one," said Senator Ha Toilette. "It doesn't apeak at all well for tho futiiro." Ho was discussing a certain corporation's apologj for dodging a law. "A cynical excuse," lie went on, "and ouo that recalls to my mind r young and pratty nurse who surprised all her friends by marrying a rich man of seventy-throe years." " 'Why one earth did you marry that fossil?' a friend asked the nurse. " 'Well,' she replied, 'I thought I might aa well be engaged in nursing ono old man aa a dozen.' " Instructing the Court. A Texas judge was robbed of a horse not long ago, and the thief, being arrested, was brought before him on trial. The Judge eyed the prisoner with deep satisfaction for a mlnuto or so, and then delivered himself of tho following: "Owing to a personal prejudice, the court will not hear this case. It will be tried by the ba'ltfT, who will find a verdict in accordance with the facts. In tho mean time," he added, Impressively, "the court will go outside and find a rope and pick out a good tree." Courage Promoters. "Women," remarked Wcdderlv, "nro great Incentives to manly courage." "What's the explanation?" queried his friend Singleton. "Well," replied Wodderly, "since I've been up against the matrimonial game and had a few tilts with my wife, the prospect of a scrap with the toughest citizen in town seems ilka mero child's play to me." lie Knew Ifcr. "What seats have you?" asked tha man nt the box office, "How many?" asked the attendant. "Two; my wife and myself." "Hast, row; all I've got." "Won't do. There's no man living could make my wife take a back F.oal!" Hnnriy Custom.

Noise-Making ?j?iel?ra. Recent observations of government naturalists show that many sub-species of the gigantic spiders, generally known aa the mygnle, are provided with atridulating, or noise-making organs. with which speaking sounds can be produced. Professor Moorhoad states that there is not a particle of evidence that these spiders, which have occasionally been known to destroy smau reptiles, possess the sonso of hearing.

Suicids Statistics. Suicides in the United Kingdom have increased by 200 per cent, in fifty years. In 1904, the last year for which official figures are available, 3.623 men and 822 women took their ?wn lives in England and Wale* \lone, while tlie total in the metropolitan police district was 600, says the Social Gazette. At least an equal number of persons were provonted from accomplishing their intention, flow rapid has been the increase durng recent years may be seen from the "act that suicides in England and Wales have increased from 478 a omen and 1,629 men in 1885 to 823 vonien and 2,523 men in 1904. There have been more than 60,000 suicides In England and Wales In 20 yearn. Had as ?s the case In England, In other countries the evil Is even worse.

B "Thero is no particular vaH^ty of stone or substanco which may beVdcs- w Ignated exclusively as the mr.dnvnno," H he says. "I have seen nmuy of t!

Therefor?, to b? eftb lent, the only necessity Is Cor the stone to be porous and liavo s'rong adheaive and absorbent qualities. Nothing mysterious about It. "I havo seen several that appear to be concretions, either vesica!, renal or biliary and were found in the biad?ier, kidney or liver of some animal? t.hoce taken from the deer, supposed to he the best. "wuon a person Ifl bitten by a roptilo or dog supposed to be mad and the porous stone applied to tho wound, tbe blotting: paper actio* begins, and the blood, saliva from tho mouth of the animal and whatever poison these fluids contain will naturally, by capillary attraction, lie absorbed by and into the eubst&nee *p- w jilted, no matter what name you may 5ive it.

On one occasion prior to the arrival i>f the President, vlo ernor Morris ?<nc! some other Sena torn were stand in/; together talking about the unaffor'ea but majeetic air cf Washington. One ?f the company remarked that tharo was no man living who could take a, liberty with him. "I will bet that I con do tint with impunity," said Morris. The bet wad taken, and soon afterward Washington appeared and jxuiaed to exehav.jsa :t few words with Bcmclxu'ly. Wetio the President was thus engaged, words stepped up and in a jocund ir.meor familiarly (sipped him on tho shoulder and said. "Good inorni if?, c)d fellow!" The President turned and merely looked him In the fare, without a word. All the hold effrontery fell from Morris, and he tdepped back in evident discomfort. Turning to tho other Senators, he said: "Gentlemen, you have won your het. I will never take such a lii>erty again." Spectacles Demoralizing. A certain Somerset Thar made himself notorious by the vigor with which in the seventeenth century, ha Inveighed against the use of the newly invented optic tflasr.es, since they pervorted vision nnd made all things appear In an unnatural and therefore a false light. Microscopes and telescopes, with their arrav of lenses hn rtcclarotl to be importers, since a man could not see so well with two pair of Rpcotacl03 as with one. Some asserted It to be sinful to assist the eyes, which were adapted by Provldenco to the capacity of the Individual, whether good, had or Indifferent. "It was argued that society at. large would become demoralised by the use of spectacles; the would give ore man an unfair advantage over his fellow, and evory man an unfair advantage over ?very woman, who could not be oxpectod on aesthete and Intellectual grounds to adopt the prnfritec."
