A BALLOONIST’S DARING LEAP WITH Th » fashion is growing in tho cities of hav ing one day in each week set apart for au in formal reception of onu’s friends and ac quaintances. This, if very simply done, is a pleasant custom for oi her city or country. If merely a cup of tea and tbin brood and butter, with p/thai« one sort of cake, l>o offered iu winter or water ice in d immer with wafers, there is nothin; to l.e said against su *h a mode of hospitality; but when the -5 o’clock tea” loses its original cliaracter and becomes a formal reception it becomes also a social burden. % The tea for these weekly receptions is made by tho lady on the table and banded by her to her guests, if there are no gentlemen pres ent to carry it. A servant- need not be em ployed in the matter. The lea equi-mge may consist of a tray covered with a pretty cloth, with small oujis and saucers, crOam, sugar, slop bowl, tho teapot covei*ed with a cozy, and cake and very thin bread and butter on plate s. The tray is set on a table and the tea made. This is the English fashion. You may, however, prefer to use a table on which is tho cloth without a tray; iu this case tbe tea is not brought in but arranged ready for callers. Three teasnoonfuls of tea are al lowed to make a pint of tea—the cups usually run t hree to the h .If pint A quart O a tea therefore, will s--rve eight or nine and allow for a second cup, which is rarely asked for. When you put tho tea in the pot light the alcohol kettle, which should have had boiling water in it, and when it boils pour on to the tea about a third of the water you intend to use, put tho cozy over it and lot it seep seven minutes, add the rest of the water, cover again and use as needed; or you may, if you prefer, j>our on all tho water at once. It is easier and less formal to say to each guest after a few minutes’ conversation, “Shall I give you some teal” or its equivalent, and to give it at once than to wait to a certain time and hand it to every one at once. With the tea oozy the tea keeps hot a long time, but if people straggle in or for any late comers fresh should lie made. A friendly, nice way is to have a bright kettle on en open fire and make tea from that when boiling in the good old fashioned way.—Good Housekeeping. A BIG PARACHUTE. A Michigan Man Beats the Record “in the lutereatci of Science"—Fall ing Like a Meteor—Safe on Tena Firma. “It is claimed by tLe balloonist, Baldwin, that he has dropped 5,000 feet from a balloon with a parachute. 1 shall drop at least 10,000 feet, ami shall attempt what no other balloonist ever did. 1 shall drop with the chute closed, leaving it entirely to the air to open the chute.” So said Edward D. Hogan to a group of newspaper men, who assembled oue morning not long ago ou a large vacant lot northwest of town to seo him make bis foolhardy venture. Hogan is a local aeronaut. He was for fourteen years employed in a plan ing mill here, and only during the last four years has devoted himself to ballooning as a profession. He has studied the subject thor oughly, however, for many years, having from childhood taken the keenest interest and delight in the science of sailing airships, rigged up a workshop at his home, and there he spent every spare moment experi- mSiting in the constructing of balloons, and on every possible occasion had made an ascension, frequently going up to consider able heights.

An effective screen, tho work of an ama teur, and one easily imitated by others, is de- scribed in Decorator and Furnisher. The screen franio was originally made to order at a sash and blind factory, and is nothing more than a series of panels six feet high by three feet wide with a crosspiece in the mid .le of each section. The frame is three inches wide all around, except across tho bottom, which is four inches wide. The frame is cboni2vd and has a few fine lines of gilt at intervals across the top and side pieces. One side of tho panels is covered with bronze canton llunnel, which is left plain. On the dtlier side is sponge fabric paper, put on with small tacks, which aro concealed by u narrow gimp. There nr« t»ix of the panels, each bear ing a different decoration. Long sprays of golden rod aro shown on ono panel, another lias a trailing spray of wisteria, a third shows a lattice and clusters )f grapes with mature leaves, the fourth is gay with morning glo ries and the fifth and sixth have ivy and eglan tine respectively.

A fond parent tells in American Agricul turist how he mado a b -mock for his maj esty, the baby. This hammock, or swinging cradle, is inudo out of part of an old barrel. Hair weaving and Stamping. which took pl*c« i“ New York. SWINGINO CRADI.X. About half of tho staves were removed (see cut) and half the heads, what was left of the barrel being firmly fastened together by nails and screws; the middle hoops were cutoff even with the staves these were fastened to. The framework ready, it was covered with old but clean comforters, folded thickly over all the sharp edges. Over this was put blue cambric, puffed neatly and held in ptace along tho sides with brass headed tacks. The hoops ar the end were wound with blue cam bric, after which they were ornamented with lace and riblions. To these hoops cords were attached, and the hammock or cradle was then suspended from a stout, book in the ceil ing. This makes a cosy little lied for the baby, and as it ke**ps up its swinging motion for a long time after being started without further attentibn, it makes it mach easier to take care of him than it would be if an ordi nary cradle were used, and it is a most con venient cradle to adjust mosquito netting to. I Bath Room The cheap gray blankets sold for various purposes, such as horse blankets, ironing blan kets, etc., make very nice rugs for use in either bath or lied room. For this purpose a blanket is cut in half, bound with red braid or red flannel and trimmed with applique fig tires or monogram of red flannel. If a more decorative effect is desii*ed tho blanket can be embroidered with r,oarso wools in sunflowers and reeds, or daisies and grasses. If not suf ficiently neavy th^rugs may be made thick« r by lining wiib old carpets or burlaps, or by merely doubling the blanket. Down Drafts In Chimneys.
