HOW TO BBAUTIFY YOUR ROOMS.

The 6rst condition of success in furnishing
eithera large or small room ls that there
must be no overcrowd n g. This j. absolute. When
outline IS lost beauty, as matter of fact is lost
also We must all know many drawing rooms In
which, perhaps, the worth and beauty of each in
dividual thing is indieputable, on entering which
the first thing that strikes is sense of incon-
gruity. What might have been an art collection
is degraded to the level of old curiosity shop.
Most women are born with love of beauty. But
generally, unless this love is cultivated and
trained it runs to waste. and frtters itself away
upon small things. Women go into a shop and
hover over a counter for an hour, engrossed in
the purchase OF fifty minute things, each of which
is pretty enough In itself if taken up in the hand
and inspected; but not one of which can be clear
ly defined at distance OF two yards, and not one
ofwhioh repays tAe trouble of the minute inspec-
ton. These are packed away in shiny cabinets
that are blazing with ormolu-scroll work, on spin
die legged whatnots that seem to be designed for
no other earthly purpose than to be knocked
down at brief intervals, and antle- pieces that
confuse ones vision and middle ores brain du-
ring the long periods when the need of being near
the fire forces one to face him. 1t is better and
higher system OF economy to buy two or three
good bronzes or marbles, on which the eye can
always rest With pleasure, than to spend ten
times the sum on ia Heterogeneous mass OF the
particolored rubbish which many accumulate, in
order they call it, ''to take off the naked look

MARVELLOUS PROGRESS IN INDIA.

With All that has been said about British mis-
rule in India. that country is progressing faster
than any in the world, The total exports from
India in the year 1872 amounted to the astonish-
ing sam of 100000, being almost double what
they were III 1862 Diamonds, camel hair shawls
precious metals and spices are still exported as in
olden time, but in much larger quantities but
these no longer her leading articles of trade
India is To day the peer OF Java Arabia and Jaaa-
ca in the production Of coffee; Of the United
States in the growing of cotton of France and
italy in the manufacture of silk and she is fast
approaching China and Japan in the production of
tea. Last year India exported $500 900 worth Of
tea, not taking into account the quantity consum
ed at home. Half the people of western Europe
wear shoes from hides brought from india while
opium from the same source Is consumed in every
part Of the habitable world Nor is it in the mat
ter of wealth alone that India has made important
advancement. The 6iggngs of canals for the ben
eft of commerce has checked the rayages OF fever
and made the most sickly parts ofthe country
comparatively healthy. The building of railroads
has had the effect to introduce civilization into
what were uninhabited Districts, and to forward

TEARS.
BY FATHER RYAN,


Tears that triclke down her eves.
They do not fall to earth and dry;
They soar like Angels to the skies.
And, like angels, cannot die,
For OH our immortality
Flows through such tears-sounds In
each sigh,
What waves of tears surge DER the deep
Of sorrow IN our restless soulsl
And they are strong, not weak, who
weep,
These drops, from out the sea that
rolls
Within their hearts forever more;
Without a depth-YithOut a shore
But all, the tears that are not wept-
The tears that never outward fall.
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us-they are best of all;
The tears our eyes shall never know,
Are deeper than the tears that flow.
Each night, upon earth's flowers below,
The dew comes down from darkest
skies,
And every night our tears of woe
Go up, like deWs, to Paradise,
To keep in bloom and make more fair
The flowers of crowns We yet shall wear.
For ah : the surest way to God
Is up the lonely stream of tears
That flows, when bending meath the rod,
And fill the tide of our past years.
On laughter't pillows hearts are tossed
On waves Of tears no heart Is lost.
Flow on, ye tears and bear me home
Flow on, ye tears of deepest woei
Flow on, ye tears that are but foam
OF deeper waves that viii not Gewi
A little while-I reach the shore
Where tears flow nOt-For eyermOTe.

plain TALL IN the Girls.

1t is a fact which should be con
tinualIy brought before the eyes of
every girl in the land, that the fash
ionable method of committing sui
eide by wearing corsets should be
frowned down. Say anything to
one about wearing these ribs Of
whalebOne and steel, and she will
say they improve the form. The
idea Don't you suppose, you little
fool, that your Maker knew what
He was about when He fashioned
you with Mis- own hands? Or do
you think He made woman first,
and afterwards made a French mo
diste, to get her into decent shape?
Perhaps that was how it happened
that women are left as nature made
them, and fools are shaped by the
dressmakers. But it would be only
justice to allow the girls to grow up
TO women before they decide wheth-
er they would be women or fools, IN
stead of putting them into cersets
when they are tender children.
1t is absolute cruelty to put cor
sets on a little child. No child can
wear them more than two or three
hours at a time, at first, but they
are made to wear them as long as
they can endure the tortures and
then take them of and rest
awhile, only to resume the hOrrid
things again, ard so on until they
become hardened to the torture, and
can delight the dressmaker with
slim waist to suit her eye.
But the next question that arises
is, whether anything has been taken
from the body during the process
of slimming the patient? Certainly
the waist was smooth and a little
tapering before the c0rsets we're ap
piled, now it is longer, and not more
than half the size at the bottom. 1t
nothing has been taken from the
waist what have the corsets done
with the organs that filed that por-
tion Of the body before the corset
strings were drawn? They have
been squeezed either above or below
the waist, and, as those places were
already occupied with organs of
their own, those squeezed from the
waist must have been forced into
the space allotted for something
else to grow in. So the logical con
clusion is, the organs that ma
ture placed within the waist have
been forced 20 vacate the premises,
and crowded themselves within the
space allotted to other and equally
important organs. No wonder the
girls lose their rosy cheeks, when
the corset strings are drawn so
tightly that the blood cannot circu-
late freely enough to run into the
/ cheeks. No wonder that the lungs
refuse to do their work, when they
+ haven't half room to work in. And
no wonder the lower orgous refuse
to perform their Office, and girls
grow old before their time, suffering
from female complaints brought on
by wearing eOrsets and displacing
/ the organs of the body.
We lament the fact that Ameri-
can women have so few children,
/ vet the mothers continue to prevent
/ children from growing up competent
to rear children, by the abominable
use OF corsets. Aud fathers look
on and say nothing. Talk about
the foolishness Of Chinese women

Death Of James GOrGc1 Bennett.

Death Of James GOruC,1 Bennett.
James Gordon Bennett, the for
mer proprietor and editor Of the
New York Herald, died on the Sd
inst, in New York, at the advanced
age of II years. Mr.. Bennett was
one of the most celebrated journal
lists III the world. He was born at
New Mill Keith, in Scotland in
1885. lie was educated for the
priesthood, at Roman Catholic
Seminary at Aberdeen, but for some
reason did not follow out the wish
es and intentions of his parents. In
April, 1919, during n period of great
commercial depression, he left his
native land for America,-wheTe he
attempted to earn his living first as
a teacher, but met with very indif-
fcrent success. In 1922 he obtained
a situation on a newspaper in
Charleston, S. c.. which he did not
hold long, however, and soon re-
paired to New York, where he soon
became connected with the editOri-
al profession and became active and
industrious in his duties. The first
number of the New York Herald,
then q very small and unpromising
sheet, appeared May 5th, 1885.
From an humble beginning be ad-
vaneed steadily, making the name
of the New York Herald not OILY
familiar as a household word in our
continent, but well known in the
political and commercial centres OF
the world. In the Herald newspa-
per alone Mr.. Bennett alnasSed a
princely fortune. lie was a man of
great ability, penetration and judg-
meut. OF late years he has written
but little for his paper and given
but little personal attention TO its
business affairs, though be retained
TO the last the control OF its policy.
His son, James Gordon Bennett, Jr.,
we believe, has been for scme time
the managing editor Of the Herald.
The Herald has never been charac-
terized by its losing adherence to
any controlling spirit. Mr.. Bennett
sought rather to represent than TO
educate and control public opinion,
and the Herald, therefore, has long
been looked to as a sort Of political
weather vane, indicating usually,
with marked accuracy, the shifting
and driftings OF the popular cur
rents. As an enterprising cosmo-
pOlitan news gatherer, the Herald Is
almost without a rival on the globe.
It is a proud monument to the geni-
US Of its founder Ex.

] a GeremQnlOuS observer OF lash
ionable etiquette vas once precipita-
ted into drowning water. a rough,
! horny handed country bnmpkin
rushed to the rescue; but the fastid-
| ious slave of conventional decorum
waved him OF, and exclaimed in
gurgling accents, 81 have never been
introduced to you, and cannot &C
cept your offer Of aid" The Dem
ocrats who refuse to support Hor-
ace Greeley are actuated by the same
sort of stupid regard for nice points.
They admit that a Democrat cannot
be elected; they concede that the
Cincinnati platform is unobjeetion-
able. Horace Greeley proposes te
make himself q life boat that will
convey them to q haven of safety.
But these punctiliOns Democrats re-
fuse to accept his aid because he
has not been introduced To them,
! formally, by n Democratic conven-
ton. When mans house is on
fire, he does not wait TO be introdu
ced to the stranger who would save
il and his wife and children from the
flames. The liberties of the people
are in danger. The fires of fanati,
cism are consuming all that patriots
hold most dear. 70 eXtinguish the
flames we would accept as a medium
the devil himself. The South has
suffered enough. We have suffered
for six years, and are still suffering
from hate, anarchy, oppression, des-
potism, robbery and wrong. We
propose, in this Presidential contest,
TO deal with facts, rather than ab
stFact theories of government
What we need and should strive TO
obtain By the best means offered us,
is speedy relief from the present and
intolerable oppression. We must
be relieved, and that speedily, or we
perish. If the Democrats can re-
lieve us, well. If they cannot, we
must look to those who are able, and
profess to be wiling to relieve US.
They may be well assured that we
are in no condition or temper to be
bartered off by Tammany Hall pol
iticians or Wall street baRkers.-
Now, the question is simply this: if
it be demonstrated that a regularly
nominated Democratic candidate
for the Presidency insures the cleo
tion of Grant, thus perpetuating in
definitely the ruinous rule which is
now insidiously and most certainly
destroying the liberties of the peo-
pie, and at the same time stranglfng
and crushing out every vestige OF
constitutional Democracy, is 1t not
the sincere and bOunden duty of ev
cry earnest and disinterested Demo
crat who is neither a trickster nor a !
mere scbemer for personal prefer |
mAnt, to advocate the means that is !
most likely to drive from power the
corrupt horde which now controls /
the government, and thus pave the |
way for the restoration of constitu-
tional liberty and the ultimate re-
turn of the Democracy to the power
that was lost BY the unfortunate dis
sensions which rent it assunder in |
1860. A crisis has certainly arrived |
in the'political affairs of this nation,
when, a overthrow the corrupt ad-
