' The1 young woman looked up again. Her' eyes - were brimming with tears, nevertheless she laughed softly. . ' "1 oan hot holp it, miserable as I am," she said; "for your words do sound so Incongruous," and she glanced as if in spite of bersolf at Mr. Drone's tattered olothing. . 1 "Yes, miss," responded Mr. Drane,' humbly. .

HANDSOME LAMP SHADES Ehey Are tnezpenslvo ly Made. and Eaed- r7lr Frame ' Can Be Proenred la am Endlaae Vartety of Shapaa llow to Cut and Shape (be CoTertno Sp many lamps are kept going nowadays In most houses that the providing of a supply of fresh and dainty shades becomes quite a con BlderatlonrIt"iff,-however-possible to make our own shades, and shade- making, or rather, covering, besides being pleasant work, is also a great economy. Of course, tbe first thing to do is to provide the necessary wire shapes and supports. These are ob tainable in all sizes and sorts at any good ironmonger's shop, ranging from a few inches square up to those Immense affairs which crown our standard lamps. Bound ones are also made In va rious sizes and are expensive, tbe price beginning at a few pence and rising in proportion to the size. Any old ones already in the house can be recovered time after time, first un picking all their coverings aud trim mlngs, lace, etc. The right sort of silk is pongee or "art" silk. The silk should bo cut on the straight and may be cut along the selvage way of tbe stuff, so as to have as few joins as possible. .Meas ure accurately the depth required from tbe lower wiro running outside the square wire shape to the round ono at the top. Allow about one inch for turnings, that will behalf an inch at each edge. Heavy turn ings should be avoided everywhere or it will be difficult to make the shade lightly and prettily. Also ' measure round the outside edge of the foundation and allow half as much again extra length for fullness. Thus, If a shade measures two yards straight round, cut a strip of silk three yards long, always al lowing a scrap over for the joins. Turn down the upper edge about half an , Inch and gather round with a strong thread. . Draw up close so that it will fit round the wire circle at the top of the shade, and sew it in. place, using strong thread, which pass over the wire between each stitch. Next divide the lower-edge of tbe silk In four even parts so as to get the cover on in equal fullness. A little ' extra fullness must be pushed toward the corners, the rest being hardly more taan eased on, This lower edge must also be gath ered and secured to the lower wire, ;Tbe edge may be turned In before gathering, or you may gather the i-onnd edge and turn it under the wire wben sewing on, as most con venient. ? ' . It is now ready for the silk flounce. Cut this the depth wished from six to eight inches Is tho usual size. Al low as before half as much again as will go around tbe frame. Join and then "snip" the lower edge along tho entire length. Gather tho upper edge, and having fixed it on evenly : sew tho flounce on the edge of the shade. MeasuVe' exactly tbe snmo I 1 . U it . I 111..1 f ..lit luuKtu lyr rttbucr uiurtj it iiauu iuiij of lace deep enough to cover tho silk; gather It and tack It round also. Now the top of the shade itself must be coTered. Take tho samo qual- tty of lacd and join the tweends to- getner. - -t . -i Divide it with pins into four, even portions. . Fasten these four points at the four corners (of course, at tbe lower edge of the lace) and arrange tbe lace so that It will easily turn, allowing more fullness at these points and thinning it off at the center of each side. . , , , Tack It firmly but lightly la tiny plaits,' then gather the upper edge and draw tbe fullness In evenly all round and sew it down on tbe silk at the ' upper whV round the portion nearest ibe lamp chimney. Tbe shade can now be finished off by a rather full ruche of plnked-out silk and a jaunty bow of ribbon. Some folks use baby ribbons for this pur pose, but 1 think a bow or ribbon tbree Inches wide 1s much smarter. ' One way of finishing off the top Is to fold a crossway piece of silk and run In two or three wires. Draw it up full like a child's bonnet brim and bend it prettily in and out. Sew on and finish with a ribbon twist dad a bow. . - A fluted shade not covered with lace, takes about double tbcleogth of silk. The upper edge Is gathered, the lower plaited In tiny double "flutei" and tacked. Alight "needle-run" mado of lace Is tho prettiest to choose. A good one ts cheapest, as it will stand washing and being remade. Boston POSf ' ""- . , Past, Present and future. .

Galileo in his "Sidereal Messen ger" made a map of eighty new stars which he bad discovered In, the con stellations of Orion's Belt and the "Sword;" and since then astronomer after astronomer, as Is well known has added various groups and gal axles to the two or three thousand conspicuous stars of the first six magnitudes which can be always seen TTvith the "linked -eye; - It -is curious and - not complimentary to the good sense of mankind that those stars shold have been looked upon as mere ly Intended to spangle tho sky and give light at night. '. As lams they were always a failure.. Six. . times the total starlight on the clearest night would not equal the. Illumina tion given by the moon, and thirty- three million tiro os their radiance would be required to equal sunlight. Yet tbe stars which are seen even by a powerful telescope are now known to be only an insignificant proprtlon of those actually existing Inside "visible space." Telescopic photography, as prac ticed to-day in all tbe observatories, reveals, In almost every apparently blank region of the celestial sphere, countless- new and 'distant worlds, lying far beyond. all . methods of mortal computation and measure ment. ' , The only foot rule with which we can at all estimate the scale of distances In the "visible universe" is light., This travels along the ether at the rata of one hundred and eighty -six thousand miles in a. second, 'so that the ray which we receive from the sun left his surface eight minutes before lt has reached our eyes. By ingenious processes based on complex aritbmetlcy' 'astronomers have determined the distance of about eighty stars, and the nearest of all of them to our system is Alpha Centaurl. The-radiance of this star takes, however, about four years to reach human vision, while that which wo rjerccive from Ainha Taurl or Aldcbaran was projected from .its glittering source twenty seven years , ago; and most of those seen deeper In the n ight sky are so far off that their present .light left them three or, four, hundred years back. Many are to-day vbable whose beams have traveled to our gaze only altera lapse of thousands of years, and Jliere must be radiant streams now on ' their way from heavenly ' bodies in the empyrean which will only reach tbe eyes of our very far off posterlty.-r-air Edwin' A mold, in North American Review.'
