Photographs today axe in highest fa vor, as well aa ia the greatest perfection, and they may be made In all sorts of attractive desgEa. The open fan design ia a particularly pretty one, and would be an appropriate gift to a yaurg nan who possessed photographs cf all the reignin belles in his own locality.

It enables one to ecrt one's friends, aa it were, and place them where they belong, according to the genttaent on the square shield. A heavy piece cf caxd-bcard is easily cut in shape cf aa cpea 7X3 STUPE) HOLDER, fan by spreading one upon it aa pattern the size you may desire. Then sev en squares should be cut two inches and a half square. A light piece cf cotton wadding should be laid over the fan piece and the squares. This may be delicately aacfced with exchid powder or white rose.

If skillful with the brush and water colors paint a spray of cli-matis or trumpet vine like the design of the illustration upon the satin before covering the fan piece with, it, though a rich design stamped and embroidered ia equally aa effective. The satin may be applied with mucilage, paste or with the needle, and should be of bright color a rich gold or crimson to properly display the photographs placed against it. The yellow ia very attractive aa a background for trumpet flowers, the heavy greens of the leaves and rich reds leaving the yellow parts cf the flower to be colored by the satin itself. The squares are then nicely covered with bits of plush to match the satin, on which lettering in dull red makes piquant description of the photos they are to support. The fan and these bits may be lined with thin silk or colored cambric.

The squares are easily sewed in place, save the top and end one, which may be pasted against the fan or fastened by means of skillful stitchery. A ribbon girdle ia fastened at the top to suspend it from a hook on the wall or the knob of a mirror, while a double case of this sort that is, two fans with back to back may be hang from a gas jet or stead-y, Read boys, read-y, da ty, Wher-ev er we are sent; feat, boys, Death be fore re -treat, boys! chandelier, and affords ample capacity the laboring clsees, to diffuse knowl-for all one's friends. edge, to alleviate suffering and to vrrA HfnTrinrrr Tn. qahie, as far as possible, the social Einu.

The question involves the distinction between the savagery of the barbarian and the refine ments and comforts cf civilized life. A nation of thieves would be a barbarians. nation, of There ia to prejudice agaia3t honorable and benevolent wealth. The war of today against capital is against tha aristocracy of riches, and where wealth ia hoarded and appropriated for personal gratification and grandeur, or held for the iovecf the power that issues therefrom. It ia this eln'shaess of the that awakens the wrathof the poor cf the laboring classes.

Nor ia there violent opposition to fortunes speedily acquired, but public displeasure is aroused against the man of wealth who manipulates the market for his own benefit, and i3 indierent to tha bankruptcy Cf hundreds and thousand whose Required fortunes are sacricedby his heartless stock gambling. It is not true that the rich are necessarily misan trophic. Large possessions in land and monev do cot sour the milk of human kindness that Cows through the veins cf humanity.

The National Temperance Publishing society whose life-giving literature is to-day blessing our nation, is largely the work of another citizen of America great me tro polia, who bequeathed to his widow and seven sons more than a million and a half of dollars. He is not reprobated. Every state in the south is to-day the beneficiary cf the wealth of a merchant prince who died worth millions, and the memorials cf his princely giving are ia London, ia Baltimore, and in his native) Maseacbusetta.

He is not dacaneu. Poverty, competence and aflueccs axe the three financial conditions cf man, in each of which there may be sainthood. Poverty may be as vicious upon the the morals of character and life as wealth. The rich sra not the criminal classes of society; they represent the average virtue of Christian lands. Th reign of terror against wealth ia itself a crime.

It is without reason, without itication, without excuse, sad these who a and abet it are chief offender. Society has the right to demand cf the rich to regard their wealth aa a talent, cf usefuicess to multiply the comforts ot condition of their fellow men. Johs P. NrwscjuT. STRAY BITS.
