One of the prettiest of divan pillows is madeof two hemstitched silk mufflers— such asgeutiemeu use— or it can be made of the hand-kerchief size tf one prefers. The model one•was in pale blue. The mufflers were united,upper aud under side, by a baud of lace Inser-tion about l,_ inches wide. The lace was ivquite an open work pattern and was ra bel-heavy—like the ecru torchon. Into this coverbefore the last side was sewed was slipped apillowcovered in pale pink silk. The thingwas delicately pretty amt yet at once ser\lce-able, for the cover can be washed once a weekwithout harm ifone should choose. The Inser-tion was sewed to the mufflers in the "over andover" stitch, with the seam ou the wrong side.
here are many possibilities ivpillowcovers ofthis sort. Even the line, lai jre-slz-d, hem-stitched linen handkerchrefs combined withsome fine lace cau be used, with a pillowof apretty shade of silk showing through, or theheavier linen squares tbat come with .manyrows of hemstitching for table center-pieces,united wilhSmyrna lace, wouldbe pretty.

A. O. U. W.The Supreme Lodge Relief Board at its re-
cent session granted relief to the graud lodgesof New York. Pennsylvania, California, Ohio,Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia jurisdiction,Nevada and Illinois. Each of these States hadpaid the maximum assessments lixed for them,and their deaths called for more money, which,under the rule, is paid from a general relieffund raised by a pro rata assessment upon theentiie order. The amount necessary to paythis excess at this time is $408,135 19, aboutequivalent to Sl 25 per member. §1 of thisIs now in the bands of tbe grandlodges, having been raised by a relief callof $1last yea r, but 25 cents per members moreIs required, which will be collecied byan assess-ment for that amount next month. Thisamount of ne at iy half a million dollars is easilyraised and paid without any trouble whatever,nd shows that the reserve fund of the fra-
ternity, instead of being concentrated in someone place, is kept in the pockets of the indi-vidual members, and only produced when neces-sary. At such a time the raising of a milliondollars if required to help jurisdictions thathave suftYred unusual loss, is buta matter of thirty days, and promptlypaid.

Than by the Locomotive.Portland Advertiser.
Daniel Bunker of Richmond has a horse thathas justbroken all records, going eighty feet Inabout one secoud. Sunday morning the horsegot out and took a stroll ou the railroad track.Afew minutes later the paper train rounded thecurve, aud the ctiances for the horse betweenthe rails looked slim. The eugiueer looted hiswhistle and the horse trotted faster. Thinkingthe horse would surely be struck and the trainperhaps derailed on the high bank at this pointthe engineer pulledopen tne throttle, hopim; tothrow him clear of the rails. The animal laidback his ears and struck a furious pace untilthe bridge over Front street was reached, whenbe slopped and kicked viciously at the ironhorse close upon him. The engine struck himjust as be kicked, and the spectators got a viewof the flyingHorse. He struck on all fours Inthe snow, rolled over against a barbed-wirefence, got up, shook the snow oif, got on thetrack again and followed the train to Kennebecmaiket. a distance of two miles. The bor>e isleporteo as being somewhat scratched by thebarbed wire and is a little still, but will be allright Ina few days and none the worse offi forhis frolic Willi the cars.
