Traiirrming tlie Saw Horse Into a Pict lire Rack Graceful Draperies for Cn- ilitly Objects How Space Can Ho l.eonoinized A Coiubinatioa Cupboard and Storeroom. It would seem that the skill of a fairy pod mother must be necessary to effect the great transformations which take place in certain articles. What less could transform, for instance, the useful but homely saw horse into the polite regions of the drawing room. This has been accomplished, however, though possibly the library is the more suitable destination after all. The plebeian ob ject is si mtwhat refined in apv ranee by being stained a wood brown before it is so rash as to venture out of its sphere. It is also used upside down from its ordi nary position when it becomes aa aspir ant for cultivated toleration. The ele vated saw horse now takes the name of portfolio rack and steadfastly supports the portfolio, which is itself something '' an upstart, for two sheets of stiff I a teboard coveied with brown denim ;i e tlie i 'credients of this affair. The are simply covered both .e denim, glue I eing used . as it takes less time than is more easily managed, is fasten it in two places at t of ribbons to tie for t'.:e front, to or whatever is pa ieioaids s..l s v iih tl ; . r the work s mg and hi ow n 1 ibi -o the lack, wlitie one s av.d untie is sr.lricient hold in the pV-mv placed in the portfolio. USEFUL FOU MUSIC. It might be used for mu ic as well as pictures. More dainty treatment is to paint the saw horse white and cover the portfolio with an embroidered cover of chrysanthemums in shades of old rose, having ribbons of the same hue. B lton sheeting or cream linen would I e the most suitable foundation for the em broidery. Such a picture holder is very useful, while the rack would have at least substantial worth to recommend it. SPREADS AND COVERS. Nothing is more useful iu hiding nec essary objects of furniture that are not in themselves attractive than pretty spreads aud covers. The silkoline thia cotton stuff stamped with china silk de signs is so pretty, artistic, and inexpen sive that great use is made of it.

To add a dressing table, screen, n antel drapery, and sn ail table cover, all of the silko line, would make a room attractive and dainty at the slightest possible expense. There are certain neces-ary but ugly articles pertaining to a household which in a little house can not be tucked out of 6ight, but must forever be prominent features to half spoil an otherwise pretty room. Sewing machines must ever bo offending objects when not in actual use, and yet in a small establishment gener ally have to stand in the family sitting room or a bed room. To conceal their identity some ingenious woman has made an adjustable domino, as it were, which is an improvement to their ap pearance. A board is made as large aa the floor space taken up by the machine. This is put on top, while a curtain fall ing to the floor and somewhat fulled ia tucked around it, the board being cov ered with the same material. Anything not transparent and that harmonizes in color with the rest of the room may be selected. A tassel fringe makes a pretty heading to the curtain. Ornaments or books may be laid on the board as on a table and rather an attractive object I made of it than otherwise. The box which covers the top of the machine ' makes the foundation on which to rest the board, which should be thick enough ' not to tip easily. j CORNER FURNISHINGS. i Everything imaginable is being devised ' for the utilizing of corners. Divans for these angles are numerous and pretty, j A novel addition to the seat is sometimea made by having a latticed archway from the seat to the ceiling, with a fairy lamp hanging from the center. The lattice ; work can be made by a carpenter and ; colored with cherry stain. Another pretty variation would be to have across 1 the corner a band of Japanese fret work ' about a foot deep, and hanging from this ! curtains of thin material drawn off and 1 looped high, so as not to interfere with the purpose of the seat. This in closing of the corner is an improvement only in a large room, as it takes a good deal off the apparent size. Other corner effects are secured which are easily man aged. A corner of a sitting room may be made of great use by putting a three cornered shelf across about the height of an ordinary work table. A shirred curtain ' of silkoline, or art muslin, as it is also ! called, hangs to the floor, and, like 'charity, may cover a multitude of sins. Above the shelf is another, about 18 inches higher, and the wall space be tween them -may be covered with mat ting or a shirring of muslin like the curtain. J A CORNER CABINET t can be made by nailing strips of wood to . the two sides of the angle of the wall and resting corner shelves on these. Thf 'shelves m;u-be covered with plush or crivtoa 11 iniiel, stained, or have the- e lges :lais.:cd with lincrusta. waboa. which looks like carving, or with pinko I I atlu-r. A strip of wood is fastened an inch from the back of the shelves io i.e.-p pl.-.tes from slipping when they : ra :et up on edge, and brass hooks aiv f-c:-'Aed into the front edges of the : 1. Ives on the under side, on which to hang cups. "With the addition of a slen der bra s rod aud curtains half pi li (1 l-vc'.i a pretty little china cabinet is aleved. Still another good corner arrangement for a small drawing room is to have a sofa bet across the corner, and in the space back of it set a spreading palm on a table, or, better yet, a pedestal, wlyCjh gives a prettier etftot CABINET AND STORE ROOM. Here is a triumph in the way of a china cabinet and store room combined. It has actually been done and found a complete i success. No carpenter even is needed, j for the whole affair is made up of soapj boxes set one on top of another without! even nailing together, i h ; boxes can be obtained for a trifle, piwuab'y, of any grocer, and after they are once in the room where they are to be used a worn- ! an s hands can accoa p'.ish the rest. The fronts must be knocked out, then pile them up as high as wished atve i boxes making a good number. Of course the boards are rough and must be covered before anything presentable can be made of them. Take the three ti; per compartments,-say, for dishes, line the in side with red single faced canton flan nel, tacking it with gimp tacks. At the top put a brass rod, and from Hi is hang two short curtains just long enough to hang over these three upper shelves. These are to be pushed back to show whatever pretty bits of china the shelves contaiu. Just below these curtains is another rod and a single curtain, which hangs plainly across the lower shelves, concealing their contents. Here is where the groceries, the jar of pickles and pot of jam may be kept, as well as the di-hes which are more useful than ornamental. These shelves may Lie left plain boards, with shelf paper laid on them. COVERING THE SIDES. The si les are now the only unseemly parts remaining, and they can be treated in several ways. They may be covered plainly with the same red canton flannel used on the inside of the cabinet, tack ing it on with brass nails, however, for ornament Large brass nails, by the way, are quite an item of expense, but the brass nails with which the harnesses of dray horses are often so bedecked might be used and are much cheaper. These can be obtained at harness and leather stores, I am told. To return to the cabinet. Another way to conceal and decorate the sides is to cover them with the matting which conies around tea chests. This is also to be tVuud at the grocers and is quite in demand among artistic spirits for various purposes. There is a fringe on the edges which can be overlapped in this case where the pieces join. Brass headed nails should be used for this also, as it gives a prettier effect than an invisible joining. Still another suggestion for living in this way: CONCEALING THE CULINARY. Often a gas or oil stove is used for the cooking in the same room where the meals are eaten. It will add rnuca to the attraction of the dinner if a curtain is arranged so it can drawn and conceal the culinary department from the ban queting hall. A rod can be fastened across a corner or iu a straight line in front of stove, etc., and when not needed the curtain can be thrown up over the rod, thereby keeping it out of harm's way in the shape of broom or greaso spots. BURNED WOOD DECORATIONS. Designs burned into wood panels with a hot and sharp instrument are becoming decidedly fashionable, and they can bo made very inexpen sive and attractive. All that is needed to practice in this new art is a knowledge of the elementary prin ciples of drawing, as designs can be made very plain, as well as quite ornate. The general principles of pen-and-ink sketch ing must be followed that is, the design must be executed wholly in line. There are many ways in which this new art can be made to add attractiveness to the household at a trifling expense. General Rules for Cake Making. In cake making, as a general rule, the following directions may be followed with profit: 1. The ingredients must be the best. 2. Never allow the butter to become oily, though it is best to have it soft enough to mix well with the sugar 3. Always use an earthen or enameled dish to mix it in and a wooden spoon with which to beat it 4. Beat butter and sugar together and then add milk or other liquids, yelks of eggs and spices, and last the beaten whites of the eggs and flavoring. If fruit is used it is put in with the flour. 5. For small cakes the oven should be pretty hot; for larger cakes only of mod erate heat Thrust a broom straw through the thick part of the cake; if it comes out free from dough it is done. 6. Let the cake remain in the pan 15 minutes to cool, and on re moving it do not turn it upside down. Better Farming Methods. Nothing that legislation can do for th f.irniers can be compared to what the fanners may do for themselves. If the ( ,io eminent would simply keep its hands :( of what the farmers produce it - uid not be long before the industrious ' intelligent farmer would be in easy i-amstances. -ii a recent number of the Forum there is an exceedingly interestiug article, The Possibilites of Agriculture," by Priuce Kropotkin. "It is not, " says this writer, "the infertility of the soil or the climatic conditions that prevent all wheat growers from raising 60 bushels to the acre; it is sin ply the systematic ruining of the tillers of the soil by the landlord, the state, the middleman, and the capitalist " In America we know little of the evils of landlordism, but we are being made well acquainted with all the other troubles the writer names. He says,44 We must take examples from small specially favored sjxrts until the time comes when the whole nation will break the bonds that now fetter agriculture. n There are two forces to which we are to look for the revolution, which will quadruple the product per acre in America. First, fertilization; second, irrigation. In other words, soil and water. In America it is a mere matter of money. One reason why we have not been more successftd at intensive culture is that we have such an abund ance of lands that it costs less to clear new fields than it does to properly en rich and irrigate the old. But now we should begin to consider what we shall do with what we call worn out lands of America. Prince Kropotkin uses as an illustration the market gardens around Paris, London, and other large cities. He says that Paris gardeners pay on an average 126 per acre rent, and some of the London market gardeners as much as 75 per acre per aunum. It is the general supposition that what chiefly attracts market gardeners to the great centers of population is the market itself. "This," Prince Kropotkin says, "may have been so once, but it is not so now, as a great number of the market gardeners around Paris, and those even who have their gardens within the walls of the city, export the whole of their produce to England. " " What chiefly at tracts gardeners to the great cities, says the prince, "is the staUe manure, and this is not wanted so much for in creasing the richness of the soil, as one tenth of the amount used would do, as for keeping the soil at a certain tempera ture. " Here is an important suggestion worthy the consideration not only of the market gardeners, but of farmers. "To obtain early vegetables," the writer says, "not only the air but the soil as well must be warm. This is done by putting great quantities of rich manure in the soil, which fermentizati n heats the soil," and he makes the raiher astonishing as sertion that some of the Paris gardeners are now heating the soil by means of hot water pipes with excellent results, and he believes that this method can not fail to come into general use. The same writer says that we hear too much about the different degrees of the fertility of the soil, while the fact ia that, in intensive agiiculture, the soil is always "made," and he adds "soil mak ing, hot water pipes, and culture under glass at certain periods in the life of the plants will be essential features of gar dening iu the future." We know something of this in the to bacco regions by our experience with the canvas beds. These canvas covered frames, used for developing the tobacco plant, are exceedingly valuable, and are becoming indispensible to tobacco rais ing. There is no reason why they should not be applied with equal success to gardening. The value of irrigation is scarcely rec ognized among us as yet, but there is scarcely any section of the Union where it can not be adopted without any very great expense, that is, compared to what it costs in other countries. All of this indicates that farming here after will be intensive. Less land and more capital will be the rule. Home and Farm. Sensible Nurseries. In the carefully constructed nurseries of New York not a corner is tolerated or an angle permitted to go unturned against which baby can do himself bodily injury. The room itself is rounded into an oval or octagon, the window ledges slope, the door knobs are beyond reach and close with a spring, and the furniture is bent birch, bird's-eye maple, or some light finished wood, with every post, side, and rung rounded like a spindle. A Farm That Ban Away. About the last thing in the world that one would expect to lose by its running away would be a farm. Yet in Holland there has certainly been one case (and there may have been many more) where a farm literally ran away from its owner and was tugged home by canal boats! Aa every one knows, the whole land of Hol land lies lower than the ocean, and ia only protected by the immense dikes which are a wonder of the world; also by great pumps, moved by steam or by wind, which pump up the water which steals in under the dikes and return it to the sea through the many canals. In the case referred to, where a canal had been dug, the water slipped in silently behind its protecting dike, or worked away under the surface of a large farm, and undermined it, while the farmer was thinking of no danger, until one day a great storm arose, and behold, the water had separated this farm from the rest of tiie land, and the poor farmer had the grief to see his own beautiful farm hur rying away as fast aa it could go to join itself to another man's farm on the op posit side of the stream! But after the storm it was surrounded by canal boats and brought back, where by means well known to the Dutch it was safely au la iiLfiwji.4 sufifc THE POLITICAL CYCLONE. WHY HE SWORE. Beets as Food. A bulletin of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, now in press, gives the result of an experiment in feeding sugar beets to milk cows, made during the past winter, together with the sum mary of two similar experiments, one made by the station in 1SS9 and one by the farm department of the Ohio State University in 1S79. In the last named experiment eight cows were kept under test for eleven weeks; in 18S9, twelve cows for eight weeks, and in 1890, twelve cows for nine weeks, the cows in each case being weighed daily, as well as their feed and milk. In each of the three experiments the cows ate more hay and more total dry matter when feeding on beets than on other foods (hay, meal, and bran in 1S79, corn silage in 1889 and 1890); and in each case more milk w as given from the beets than from the other foods, but it is not yet demonstrated that the increase of milk was produced economically. For twelve years records have been kept on the farm now occupied by the 6tation, which shows that the average yield of beets over this period has been nearlv sixteen tons per acre, against an annual yield of about fifty-five bushels c.r of shelled corn per acre. But a crop of fifty-five bushels of 6helled corn, with its fodder, will con tain nearly twice as much dry matter as sixteen tons of beets, and these experi ments indicate that, whether fed dry, as corn meal and dry fodder, or as corn ensilage, th j dry matter of the corn crop will be found about as effective, pound for pound, as the dry matter of the beet crop. It is possible to raise much more than Bixteen tons of beets to the acre. One crop of two acres is reported at thirty- seven and one-half tons per acre, and smaller areas have given still larger yields, but such crops require very rich land and thorough culture. Whether it is possible to produce a pound of dry matter in beets as economically as it can be done in corn is not yet definitely set tled, but the nrohnbilities are against it The History of Pepper. The value of pepper in cooking seems to hare been known long ago. Its nso as a medicine was common in the days of Hippocrates, who applied it, mois tened with alcohol, to the skin of his pa tients. Just as sugar and tea have been In past times so dear as only to be with in the reach of the wealthy, so pepper was in the middle ages a very costly condiment So much was it valued that a small packet was at that time deemed a suitable present to offer a great person, Common or black pepper is now grown In many tropical countries. It Is climbing plant some 12 feet high, Ua tng froit of a bright red color thesize of a pea, which when dried tuna black. ITS EFFECT ON THE REPUBLICAN MAJOR ITY IN THE SENATE. Cor. New York Sun. Washington. Nov. 7. Now that three days have elapsed siiice the po litical cyclone, the Democrats are recovering from their daze of delight, while the Republicans are picking themselves out of the debris, and both parties inquire simultaneously, "What next?" There is no use in wasting breath on the next House, except so far as relates to the ques tion of the Speakership. On this poiot discussion has brokeu loose in all parts of the country, and already ncu-iy a score of candidates are in the field, either formally or tenta tively. According to the general diift of opinion here, the three men most eminently fitted to fill the Speaker's chair iu the Fifty-second Congref-s aie Messrs. Crisp of Geor gia, Springer of Illinois, and Wilson of West Yirginia. Crisp and SpriDg er are expert parliamentarians, quick in decision, fair minded in intention, authoritative in action and rule. Mr. Springer is a veteran in the ranks who has been of vast befitfit to the party and to the legislation in gen eral, and who deserves some sub stantial recognition of his valuable services. Mr. Wilson is a man of splendid intellectual equipment and of sterling moral qualities, who com mands the highest respect of all his associates in Congress. He woulJ be as intelligent and equitable a Speaker as Carlisle. TL ere is some doubt as to Lis physical ability to stand the strain of the office Mr. Dan Lockwood's candidacy, originally broached in the columns of the Sun, meets with favor among the Washington politicians. The only tiling urged against him is his comparative lack of experience at the Capitol. Mr. Mills of Texas has re considered the matter, and now thinks Le would like to be Speaker. In the opinion of eveu Lis admirers there is hardl) anybody, certainly among the older members oi the House, who is less fitted for the of fice than Mr. Mil s. His bad tem per and impetuosity would alone tin nt I iiu for it, not to mention po'.iti cal con ideraiions. Other candi dates are Messrs. McMiliin, Byuum, McCreaty, Outhwai'e, Hatch, Breck inridge aud Blount, most of horn b ive souif positive qualifications for the office. Turning i ow to the Senate, the situation there is becoming decided ly kit resting. The Republican ma-! jonty in ti e benate next session. I couuti:;g in the four new Senators from I-laho aud Wyoming, will be 14 By the elect i n of last Tuesday Democratic Seiatovs in place of the prese'it Republics Senators are as sure 1 for the Fifty-second Congress from two Statts, New York and Wis consir, while the Farmers' Alliance will elect Ingall's -ucetisor in Kan sas. The Republican majority in the Senate aftei i txt March is thus rfductd from 14 to S at one blow. The Illinois L'gisl.-'.ure is very close but the chauces are that the Demo crats will be able to choose Farweli's successor, and, if so. ..he Republican maioriij' dwindles to 6. The po'i i cal complexion of the Legisla'ures n the three Stales of New Hampshire, Conn cticut and South Dakota is sti:l iu doubt. If these States should finallt declare against the Republi cans f.t next Senate would be a tie, and if ven only one or two of them sLo i!d do so the Republican major ity woui i be whittled dowu to veiy small dimensions. Efn if the next Cougre .-houl i open with the Re public ir six ahead iu tlu Senate, t must ' : in-: nil ei id that Ihive hold over -S i. ators - namely, Piumb, Pad doc'; i; .1 PtttigitvT have decidedly indep' l o'li J. lender.cief. Tbev voted tt the McKiuley biil, and simi lar net ion ou their part in the next Coi-icos would reduce the Senate to a tie. Furthermore, looking ahead two years, it is seen that new Sena tors will be chosen then iu Rhode Island, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Nebraska, Montana, Wisconsin and Michigan to fill chairs now held by Republi cans. Out of this number it is mor ally certain that the Democrats will be able to secure euough to control the Senate after 1893, even if they do not do so in 1891. In 1892, more over, comes the next contest for the Presidency, which the Democrats can surely win if they will avoid mis ' ikes which are easily avoidable; and hus it appears evident that only two short years hence the control of the Government in all its executive and legislative branches is exceeding like- y to pass into the hands of the par ty of Jefferson.

"Because,"' she answered, softly, "it takes a lot o' rye to keep it up." Mr. Billus thoughtfully rubbed his nose and listened awhile in pen sive silence to the mournful night winds, the voice of the insistent katydid and the despairing yowl of the ostracised cat in the back yard. "And that reminds aie, Maria," he said, reaching out for another chair to rest his feet od, "that if I Ladn't married you, my dear, you would probably have been for the rest of your life like a lottery ticket after the drawing."
