Pincushions Made of Doll Umbrella*
I And Hand and Work Bags of
Handkerchiefs.
Pincushions and pretty bags always
find a welcome, no matter how many
already may be possessed. The con
venience of a pincushion which can he
hung at the side of a mirror, or in
gome similar position, is self-evident.
A novel and useful one can be made
from a large size doll's parasol. To get
the best results, one of some bright
'eglored silk should be used. It must
be closed and the cover tacked to the
stick at each rib then each of the sec
tions become separated from every
other, and can be fitted at the top and
stuffed either with bran or wool wad
ding picked into bits. When the cush
ions are slipped into place, they can
he tacked firmly to position and the
DOLL UMBRELLA PIN CUSHION.
parasol further ornamented with bows
of ribbon tied on whatever fancy indi
cates. To make the best foundation th?
parasol should have a hooked handle
,by which it can be hung, but should
such not be obtainable, a'ribbon loop
can be attached to a handle of any
sort.
Handkerchiefs seem ever to be serv
ing some new use. One of the latest is
the making of dainty bags for fancy
work and the like. A particularly
pretty bag of this sort requires two
handkerchiefs, the size used by men,
or small mufflers. They should be of
fine linen. The upper handkerchief,
embroidered with a border of forget
me-nots within the hem, is cut at the
center to form a circular opening, the
edge of which is faced to form a cas
ing, in which is inserted an ordinary
COLLAPSIBLE WORK BAG.
.Wooden embroidery ring as narrow as
obtainable. The embroidered hand
kerchief is then laid over the plain one,
and the two are stitchefl together on
the line of the hem. Ribbon bows are
attached to each of the four corners,
and a ribbon hanger to the edge at the
opening with full bows at each end.
Another equally charming gift that
«an be made from handkerchiefs is the
•bureau cover. For this three or four
are required, according to size, an"d
they can be as simple or elaborate as
•desired. White embroidered kerchiefs
'are always dainty, but there are also
many novelties in color that can be
Utilized with good effect. But to get
the best results, the edges should be
plain.
i .Whatever the number and whatever
the style, each handkerchief should
haye lace insertion at the ends, and
then all be joined together to form a
strip by means of beading. Around
the entire edge of the cover is a frill
of lace, which forms a finish.
A still further decorative effect can
be gained by threading all the beading
with colored ribbon, terminating in
bows of many loops. Fine plain hand
kerchiefs with embroidery of small
flowers in color are excedingly dainty
and atractive, and many other varia
tions can be made.—Kansas City Star.
Brown or White Sandwiches.
Any kind of finely-chopped nuts, beat
en to a paste with a small quantity of
mayonnaise, will make a delicious filling
for either brown or white bread sand
wiches. Waldorf sandwiches are made
of white bread and butter spread with a
mixture of equal parts of sliced apple
and celery, a sprinkling of sliced wal
nuts, all moistened well with mayon
naise. Chicken sandwiches are made
in the same way, omitting the nuts and
apple. The ripe olive sandwich was
very popular last season for afternoon
teas. For one loaf of gluten bread use a
pint of ripe olives, one breakfast cheese,
one tablespoonful of mayonnaise dress
ing and one tablespoonful of cream
stone .and mince the olives cream the
cheese, adding first the cream and then
the dressing, and, lastly, the minced
olives. St5r to a smooth paste and
spread on thin slices of buttered bread.—

A TIMBER FAMINE COMING.
Expert Predicts That Third Decade of
This Century Will See Deple
tion of Our Forests.
"The writer not long ago estimated
that with the increased rate of consump
tion the third decade of this century
would see practically the depletion of
the native timber of the United States,
and this year one of the largest opera
tors in the sawmill business has come
to the same conclusion," so Prof. B. E.
Fernow affirms in an article on 'The
Forestry Problems of the United States,"
in Pearson's. "Others there are who
point to other lands as waiting to fur
nish the United States with supplies.
There Is Canada, most desirous to in
crease its exports of lumber in this di
rection. There is Brazil and the whole
of South America full of woods! Bliss
ful ignorance! Canada, although rela
tively to its population very much bet
ter wooded than the United States, has
not less lavishly cut and wasted. Of the
class of timber which this country par
ticularly cares for, it has but a limited
supply, and is called upon to furnish to
the mother country as well. A few
years more than is predicted for the de
pletion of the United States will see
Canada's virgin timber used up.
"The southern continent contains for
ests of vast extent, but practically no
material that this country particularly
needs or desires to use, for they are
mainly composed of the hardest of the
hardwoods, fit only for limited uses—at
least in the present household economy.
It is pines, spruces, cedars, redwoods,
firs, in other words, conifers, that are
mainly needed, and of these no supplies
of any extent are to be found in South
America. In fact, with the exception
of Russia, possibly, the United States house.
may claim to have still the largest sup
ply of these most needed woods. The
fear, also, of a timber famine—not wood
famine, for wood will still abound
when saw-timber is gone—is, indeed,
beginning to agitate those European
countries which rely upon importa
tions."
BOYS UPSET THE PROPHET.
Mormon's Attempt to Walk on Water
Frustrated by Vigilant Young
sters—Had Mud Bath Instead.
"I have often heard my grandmother
tell of a joke played on the so-called
'Prophet' Joseph Smith, Sr., of the Mor
mon church," says C. H. Cartwell, ac
cording to an exchange. "Some time In
the '30s Smith and a part of his follow
ers were proselyting in Muskingum
county, O. He appointed a certain day
when he.would show the people his won
derful powers, and that he was a sec
ond Christ, by walking on the waters of
Mud creek. The water was always mud
dy. A day or two before the time set,
grandmother's brother Robert and a
couple of neighbor boys were accident
ally attracted to the Mormons working
at the creek, and, concealing them
selves, watched the Mormons put down
stakes and put plank on them from
bank to bank, the plank resting about
six inches under water. After the Mor
mons left, the boys went down and took
out the center plank, where the water
was ten feet deep. The next day 'Ba
laam' Smith came down to the creek,
and, after a long exhortation, started
acrose the creek. He was all right
and on top till he came to the center,
where his 'powers' seemed to leave him,
and he, like McGinty, went to the bot
tom. This was the end of Mormonism in
that old and tried and true Presbyterian
county."
MISTAKEN FOR A PATIENT.
Amusing Beception Accorded Visitor
to New Tork Hospital—His
Case Puzzled Doctors.
An Italian who had been in this coun
try only 48 hours went to the Bellevue
hospital one day lately to visit a patient,
says the New York Sun. An obliging
fellow countryman In the reception
room instructed the stranger in the mys
teries of the main office, and presently
he was whisked upstairs in an elevator.
When the elevator stopped the Italian
walked into a ward and sat down.
The first nurse who spied him there
took it for granted that he was a new
patient. In less time than it takes to
tell it he had been thoroughly scrubbed
and put to bed. Then the doctor in
charge of the ward came along and made
an examination.
The unwilling patient seemed to be
resting comfortably, but the absence of
any pronounced symptoms was alarm
ing. A second doctor was Sent for. The
two made a second examination and
then called in a third. By that time the
bewildered Italian had yielded to the in
evitable and was sleeping peacefully.
The third doctor prescribed an inter
preter and finally a guide took the smil
ing visitor to the bedside of his sick
friend.
Air-Soundings.
Regular air-soundings, with kites and
balloons carrying registering apparatus,
are now made in the United States, Ger
many and Denmark, for gaining a bet
ter knowledge of the atmosphere and
its problems. On a hill near Viborg, in
Jutland, a two-story tower, about' 30
feet high, is mounted on rails so as to
be revolved, one side being open and
kept away from the wind. It is equipped
with registering instruments, electric
motor, two windlasses, etc., for starting
kites, while other buildings contain
workshops, small balloons, steam en
gine and' aococimodations for the di
rector and five assistants. Kites are
flown with steel wire of 0.6 to 1.3 milli
meter, and easily reach 200 yards in
height, but attain 3,000 or 4,000 yards
with difficulty and only by the use of
auxiliary kites. After a recent break
of a wire one kite was recovered
at
distance of 160 milm
STORY OP NEIGHBORS
Ganderbeau is known in Qrasswold aa
a particularly cantankerous individual,
but Binkford, who lives next door to
him. declares that he always gets along
with Ganderbeau all right. Binkford
has a cheerful, happy nature.
The residents of the suburb laugh
when Binkford says this. The reason is
that when Ganderbeau meets Binkford
he looks more bilious than ever and tries
to take no notice of him.
Binkford denies that there is any trou
ble between him and Ganderbeau.
"Trouble?" he says. "Why should I
have trouble with him—or anybody
else?"
It is good to have a disposition like
that. Ganderbeau came to the suburb
first. He kept chickens, as he still does(
and traced the produce to Stenson, the
grocer. When Binkford moved in next
door and proceeded to raise chickens
also Ganderbeau at first felt himself
much aggrieved. He found, however,
that Binkford had no intention of com-i
peting with him at Stenson's, using all
his eggs for home consumption. Then
BInkford's extreme friendliness won
first his tolerance and then something
approaching regard The two walked
together to the train in the morning and
once Binkford induced his neighbor to
take a hand at whist on the 5:30. It is
true he acted like the dickens and ac
cused Potter wrongfully of revoking,
but it said a good deal for BInkford's in
fluence, nevertheless.
Ganderbeau kept his chickens in an
inclosure of wire netting at the lower
end of his back yard and never under
any circumstances allowed them to
roam. Binkford, on the contrary, al
lowed his the run of his whole premises
and the vacant lots at the back of the
They got in again and he drove them
out. He.mentioned the circumstance to
Binkford, who expressed his deep regret
ana ais admiration of the flying powers
of the chickens at the same time. Nev
ertheless, he nailed upright strips along
the length of his fence and told hig
neighbor that he was confident that
would keep them out.
The next morning the pallets wer«
scratching away among Ganderbeau's
azaleas as energetically as ever. Gan
derbeau suggested to Binkford that h«
should forthwith clip the wings of hit
predatory birds and get them inside an
Inclosure of netting—"or carbonized
steel bars, darn 'em, If that won't do,"
he concluded.
"I'll see them jiggered first," said
Binkford. 'They don't deserve such
luxuries. I'll wring their necks first—
if I can find out the guilty ones."
The next morning as Binkford wat
carrying his furnace ashes through his
back yard something fell with a dull
flop at his feet, and at the same tim«
Ganderbeau's voice called over the
fence in rasping accents: "There's a
chicken dinner for you, Binkford."
Binkford set down his ash pail and
picked up a Plymouth rock pullet with
Its neck wrung. He looked at the chick
en and then he looked at Ganderbeau,
who was scowling over the fence at him.
But, being a very good-natured man, he
said pleasantly: "'Thank you, old man.
This is very kind of you." Then he took
the chicken back into the house.
Two more Plymouth rock pullets with
their necks wrung were discovered by
Binkford In his garden the morning fol
lowing, and the day after that there was
another one. Shortly after this he saw
Ganderbeau In his garden and remons
trated with him in his good-natured
way.
"It's all very well to be neighborly,
Gand," he said, '"but you're carrying it
to an extreme. Those pullets are dandy
eating—tender as they can be. I believe
I could eat such pullets for another week
without getting tired of them, but
don't want you to rob yourself."
"What do you mean?" snarled Gan
derbeau.
"If you've got too many pullets, why
don't you turn 'em in to Stenson?" said
Binkford. "He'd be glad to have 'em.
By the way, have you noticed that
there's a hole in your wire netting? It's
big enough for rats to get in—or pullets
to get out. Right over in the corner
there. There's a hen trying to get
through now."
Ganderbeau looked and then dashed
for the hole with a howl of rage.
It is since then that he has been so par*
tlculariy grumpy when be meets Bink
ford.
But Binkford says: "Shocks! It take*
two to
make a quarrel."—Chicago

In fact, BInkford's chickens
went all over the suburb. But they al
ways came home to roost.
The friendly relations between the
neighbors were maintained for some
months. But one morning Ganderbeau
found three Plymouth rock pullets bur
rowing in the bosom of his azalea bed.
He instantly confounded Binkford'a
shiftessness in not providing proper re
straint for the birds and, picking up a
lath, drove them out into the alley after
five minutes of nerve-destroying effort.
If he had seen Binkford then the friend
ly relations would have been severed
forthwith, but he had time to cool off a
little bifore Binkford came out.
"Ssy, Binkford," he called out, "why
don't you keep your blamed chickens at
home?"
"Oh, what's the use?" said Binkford.
"The poor things need a little exercise
and fresh air."
—"You're mighty apt to lose some oi
them if you don't," said Ganderbeau.
'"I guess the people of this suburb are
tolerably honest out of business hours,"
said Binkford. "I'm not afraid."
"You'll need to be if you don't keep
them out of my yard," said Ganderbeau.
"They were In here this morning
scratching up my beds."
"Is that so?" said Binkford, in tonea
of commiseration. "'Say, that's too bad!
See here, Ganderbeau, if they get in
again don't you hesitate to drive them
out."
"I won't," Bald Ganderbeau, grimly.
