ANTIQUE FURNITURE AGAIN.
Bedroom Coffers of the Kiddle Agee
Are in Use Among the
Fashionables.
- *
i The feminine world is again taking to
the use of stately and artistic coffers or
chests, reports the Washington Star.
The dameB of the middle ages, who
had no convenient bureaus in which to
store their finery, were dependent upon
the coffer. Some of these historic chests
are marvels of delicate carving, inlay
work and painting. The greatest artists
of Italy did not disdain to decorate these
receptacles.
So valuable were some of the coffers
that a great lady was considered well
dowered if she received one on her mar
riage day. It was placed in her cham
ber, with the great bedstead and a stool
or two, which were the sole furnishings.
Toward the close of the eighteenth cen
tury coffers were all but discarded. Un
til recently specimens were to be found
only in the museums or old castles and
manor houses of Europe.
Now the taste for antique furniture
is bringing the coffers again into favor.
Two seen recently were made for the
state rooms of yachts. They are both
carved and tinted.
One chest is built of weathered oak,
deeply carved and then stained in green
and red. The design represents mer
maids sporting in the midst of an ocean
forest. Seaweeds and Shells are the most
conspicuous features in the picture.
The other coffer is of oak, having a
gray finish. It is decorated with a burnt
design. Green and mauve stains are
used to touch up the figures. The sub
ject of these decorations is a scene at
the court of King Neptune.
Bedroom coffers are usually adorned
with flowers, birds, butterflies or some
allegorical or mythological scene. One
small boudoir chest has representations
of Penelope among her maidens upon its
panels. Through open windows the
sprays of the climbing roses are blown
into the room and thA flowers with the
gdfments of the women are brilliantly
colored.
Scriptural subjects were painted on
some of the antique chests, and these
have been yrell imitated by modern
workmeh. The painted panel is Set deep
Id the wood and framed by a wide band
of Infolding. Carved figures, supporting
the corners, and elaborately designed
lids are features of the painted chests.
The most' ancient designs are the
heavily carved ones. Those who are
versed in the history of furniture can
tell to a nicety the age of a chest by the
style of carving and quality of the wood.
The earlier Renaissance specimens are
aJmost priceless, and even copies of
them are expensive. In appearance they
are not unlike a coffin. There is usually
a richly carved base, the long shallow
body above it being slightly curved. The
lid projects over the body, and is less
deeply cut than the sides.
A more modern Renaissance chest,
and a style which is more frequently
• copied, is embellished with small panels,
on which appear conventionalized foli
age designs in line work. The shading
is burnt into the wood.
Gilded and enameled coffers are also
to be seen, but they are eighteenth cen
tury work and represent the period of
decadence.
The modern household coffer is usual
ly lined with silk or an art fabric. Plenty
of tiny pockets are scattered over the
lining, and in these are placed sachets
for perfuming the contents of the box.
The chests are convenient receptacles
for linen, bedclothes, draperies or gar
ments not in use.
Those who can afford a cedar chest
need have no fear of moths. Although
these ornamental boxes cost more than
trunks, they will last a lifetime. They
are distinctly decorative, and may be
made to fit any vacant niche in a small
room. The price varies with the style
of decoration and wood. Some are com
paratively inexpensive, while others,
good imitations of the carved antique
chest or the gilded and enameled eight
eenth century masterpieces, are valued
as are most works of art.
HIS FIRST WATERSPOUT.
: “ -V... - - •
Green Sailor Boy Wanted to See One,
and He Was Quickly Ac
commodated.
A waterspout is one of the first things
a green sailor boy wants to see. He has
read about it as one of the wonders of
the sea, and it rouses his keenest curi
osity. He gets the old sailors to promise
to call him when one is sighted. They
promise, winking stealthily at each oth
er, relates an exchange.
The ship gets down into tropical wa
ters, and the boy is told that a water
spout may come along almost at any
time.
One night he is awakened suddenly.
An old sailor shakes him.
"Come on! Hurry up, young feller;
there’s a waterspout on the starboard
bow bearing right down on us.”
The boy hastens up the companion
way without waiting to dress, and as
he darts out on deck he is thrown down
by a mass of water descending on him
like a wet mountain. He struggles to
his feet, gasping, sputtering:
"Wa-a-s that-t a wa-a-a-ter spout?”
The sailors are around him roaring.
Then he looks up above the companion
way and sees an empty hogshead. Having
seen and felt the waterspout, he descends
to his bunk, wipes himself dry and turns
in. Next time waterspouts in great num
bers may be reported on both bows, but
he will have no particular desire to ob
serve them.
Baby’s Eyelashes.
Some mothers clip the baby’s eye
lashes to make them grow long. This
may be all right for the baby, but after
maturity has been reached it is perhaps
betetr to rub a little pure ointment or
plain vaseline into the lashes rather
than to clip the ends.—Medical Talk.
ODD FANCIES ABOUT BEES.
Old-Time Belief That Honey Was of
Celestial Origin and Other
Queer Notions.
In these days of scientific bee cul
ture, when bees are trained to pack
their honey in pound boxes ready for
market, and are as much under the
control of the beemaster as sheep are
of their shepherd, it is difficult to
realize what quaint delusions prevailed
only a few centuries back in every
thing relating to the hive and its in
habitants, says the Chicago Daily
News. The sources and composition
of honey were subjects for many in
genious speculations One old writer
affirms it to be “made pf the ay re.
most of all at the rising of the starres,
chiefly the dogge shining out early in
the morning,” although he admits him
self in doubt as to “whether it be the
sweate of the heavens or a certaine
spittle of the starres or a juyce that the
ayre purgeth from himselfe.” This be
lief in the celestial origin of honey
runs through all the old treatises on
apiculture, from the time of Virgil ;
downward. It was supposed to be a .f
kind of manna from heaven, and its
quality depended greatly on the favor
able or unfavorable Juxtaposition of the
stars at the time of its descent.
Although the existence in each hive
of one bee much larger than all the
others was generally recognized in old- |
en times, this was believed to be mere
ly a ruler or king over the rest. That
the large bee was actually the mother
of the whole colony never seems to
have occurred to anyone until recent
times. This king bee is very fanci
fully described as having “a lofty pace
and countenance, expressing majesty,
and a white spot in his forehead glis- j
tening like a diadem.” In each hive,
also, there were “subordinate govern
ors and leaders and captains and
colonels, marked by crests, tufts or tas
sels on their heads, some yellow, some
murrey.” Among various other duties
it was the klnc's nart tn out eanh
evening in search of any bees that had
not returned to the hive by sunset, and
to show them the way home.
From the earliest times honey ap
pears to have been held in extraor
dinary favor as a universal specific for
human ills. As a hair restorer it was
largely recommended, rubbed in plen
tifully night and morning, and if dead
bees were dried, pounded and worked
up into a thick paste with the honey,
its hair-producing capabilities were
much enhanced. This mess had to be
plastered on the bald places of the head
over night, with infallible results in
the morning, if one may credit a cer
tain fifteenth century writer. For
weak eyes the same authority says to
take a handful of the beads of bees,
burn them, and mingle the ashes with
honey gathered in the dog days. The
eyes were then anointed liberally with
the mixture, and clearness of vision
was the invariable reward.
In the old days the situation of a
beehive was a matter of prime impor- i
tance. It was to be placed always on
the south side 'of a stream of water,
and never in a place where there were
echoes, as an echo was very injurious \
to bees. A little gravel was to be put j
down in the neighborhood of the hives. !
as in windy weather the bees needed
small stones to carry about in their
flight as counterpoises. The beekeeper
was recommended to shave and keep
his head close-cropped, long hair on j
head or face being extremely offensive [
to his charges, and in attire he was to
avoid anything of a red color, as thia
was detrimental to the bees.
CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form
ing a Serpent-Like MaBS
When Migrating.
The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, a tiny
wormlike creature which is found in
the forests of Norway and Hungary dur
ing the month of July or early in August,
gather in huge numbers preparatory to
migrating in search of food or for a
change of conditions. When setting out
on this journey, says Nature, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutinous matter, ana form a Huge ser
pentlike mass, often reaching a length
of between 40 and 50 feet and several
inches in thickness. As the scaria is
only on an average of about three-thir
ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the num
ber required to form a continuous line
of the size above mentioned is incal
culable.
Their pace Is, of course, very slow,
and upon meeting an obstacle, such as
a stick or stone, they either writhe over
or around it, sometimes breaking into
two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated
French naturalist says that if the rear
portion of this snakelike procession be
brought into contact with the front part
the insects will keep moving round in
that circle for hours, never seeming to
realize that they are getting no further
on their journey. If the portions be
broken in two the procession will unite
in a short time. When the peasant meets
one of these processions he will lay some
obstacle in front of it. If it passes over
it it is a good omen.
The Leopard of the Snows.
When we look at the leopards in a
menagerie our minds instinctively turn
to pictures of the hot tropics and the tor
rid lands of the equator. But there are
leopards that love the snow, and never
willingly descend below the levels
where snowstorms occur in summer as
well as in winter. The New York Zoo
logical park possesses, at present, a
beautiful specimen of the “snow leop
ard,” whose home is among the lofty
mountains about Thibet. Thousands of
tanned skins of the snow leopard are
carried to Shanghai for sale, but the liv
ing animal is rarely seen away from his
cool mountain home.—Youth’s Compan
ion.
FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Finery Up
on Which to Employ Their
Spare Time.
A fad of the moment is to have laced
or embroideerd cuff and stock pieces
edged entirely around with ruchlng.
The cuff pieces are simply basted over
the wristbanda When the ruchlng is
soiled a new ruche may be put on and so
the handsome or delicate lace is saved
much washing.
One of the embroidery designs in field
bowers which is attractive is a daisy
pattern upon a table center piece. Large
centers with a white couched edge and
the pattern stamped inside this cost
11.60. The edges should be finished with
a broad band of lace. The design is
worked in white and green.
A prime factor in a cozy corner is a
cushion of green burlap embroidered
with red raflla. The design Is of clus
ters of cherries. The realism of this
pillow is further carried out by having
the corners finished with large bunches
of natural-looking velvet cherries on a
green wire stem.
The prettiest of the new summer
cushion coders are in sheer muslin or
lawn, with embroidered monogram or
Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or
Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all
done in exquisite stitches in white, and
brought into relief by being placed over
a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow
or mignonette green.
Bedroom slippers of the hand cro
cheted order echo the universal vogue
of the polka dot. The smartest of these
are now made to come very high on the
ankle and turn over, forming a sort of
cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on
a background of pink or lavender, or a
white surface is treated with large ddts
in pink or blue. .
A pretty pincushion that a girl can
make for herself, or for a gift, is a cir
cular affair of violet colored silk or
satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow
der. Around this are sewed millinery
violets, arranged in such a way that the
cushion is almost hidden away in the
blossoms. The stems are tied as if in a
bouauet at the back.
A pretty and comfortable kimono may
be made from an old shirt waist. Re
move the gathers at the waist. Take oft
the collar band and euttheneck V-shape.
Remove the cuffs and gathers at the
wrist. Now take cloth of a contrasting
color and sew a strip two inches wide
around the bottom of the waist and the
sleeves, up the fronts and around the
neck and your dressing sack is com
plete.
THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe
cially Beneficial to Persons
Who Are Ailing.
An 1830 bath is the very latest
thing. It is a bath made of sweet
scented water in which there is enough
acid to be invigorating. It is a bath
of a previous generation and it is one
which every athlete of the present day
should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
To make an 1830 bath take a tub of
hot water and pour into it a quart of
bath vinegar if one can afford it. If
one cannot indulge in this extrava
gance, then take a pint. If this is too
much at least pour in a few table
spoonfuls.
A bath in bath vinegar is good for
the muscles. It drives away rheuma
tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the
thing for a stiff neck, and it takes the
ache out of tired bones.
A rose geranium bath is recom
mended to those who have neuralgia
and sharp aches and pains. There ia
something very soothing about the
odor of rose geranium. It lulls the
senses as not even violets can do.
The aromatic bath, partly ammonia,
is liked by those who feel faint and is
the bath of baths for the woman with
a weak heart. Let the woman whose
heart does not beat well practice walk
ing. Let her take the walking exer
cises vigorously. Then let her take
a bath in aromatic vinegar and let hei
finally steep her nose in a bottle of the
vinegar, and while she is dressing let
a saucer of it stand in the room. This
is the best way to get the full scent
of the vinegar and the best results
ltuui il
Camphorated baths are much too
powerful for any but the sick. The
person who has sprains or bruises can
take a mild camphorated bath, but it
is not a pleasant bath nor one which
can be recommended for daily use.
Taken all in all there is nothing quite
as pleasant as the rose geranium bath
nor one that is cheaper. A great bot
tle, half a gallon, of the scent can be
made for a dollar and this will las!
a long time.
S -
Curry of Vegetable.
Use one large onion, a sour apple, a
pint each of carrot, turnip and celery
cubes, a heaping teaspoon curry'pow
der, one pint stock or milk, two table
spoons flour, two level teaspoons salt,
one-half teaspoon pepper, generous
tablespoon of butter; mince the onion,
pare the apple and cut in thin slices; put
butter on the stove in stewpan and a*
soon as melted add cation and apple;
stir for two minutes and then add the
other vegetables, stirring until it be
gins to brown; then add flour and sea
soning, stir again, then pour milk or
stock over; cover the stewpan and let
simmer one hour.—Boston Globe.
Blanquette of Lamb.
Cut cold, cooked lamb in strips, make a
sauce with three tablespoonfuls each oi
butter and flour stirred over the fire until
smooth, add one cupful of stock and one
cupful of milk and stir until boiling,
salt, pepper and dash of nutmeg and one
tablespoonful of tomato catsup; heat the

around it green peas or a potato border;

Mr E. L. Hawkins, 183 Wart 87th \

“I have used Paracamph in a severe case !
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
recommed Paracamph ”
Mr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature's plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money, If your druggist don’t
Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 56 cent, and $1.00 bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.
