TIE HOTEL OF THE FVT' RI.
m GAIL HAMILTON.

In the hotel of the future, il Nc can
not change ali our carpets at the spring
cIesninr' and change them back again
Mt the fall cleaning" II We canno; afford
doub suits of furniture for every room
which NAV well be the case until the
latter part of the millennium-we shall
vet look to il that each room is furnished
with some light, agreeable, easily movable
and wholly rcsttul furniture, which shall
seem to be cool even when the heavens
are brass above our heads and the earth
is dust beneath our feet. In the Motel OF
the future, each room shall have one
graceful. simple chair or lounge which
NAV be lightly lifted, and which shall
not be two fine to give rest for tired feet
without fear Of perpetrating vandalism.
Why should one disSemble? That Is
what YOU 20 to 3 hotel for-to put
Won feet in y chair when you come IN
tired. Foreigners and our home folks
also are never weary Of caricaturing the
American habit of holding the feet
birber than the head. 1t is very bad
manners. but it is very good physiology.
The highest medical authority declares
tnat a horizontal position Of the body Is
mos, conducive to restoration 81 dis
turbed equilibrium and to heath
full circulation. But there are some
enterprising spirits among us who do not
need science TO tell them what rests
Them when they are tired, and carrying
the prlnciple OF self preservation too far,
they have postured themselves too re'E-
Is.siv and thrust their uplif,ed feet
through all the laws Of Difference ana

Who can tell the value Of n smile /,
costs the giver nothing, but is beyond
price to the erring and relentng. the SAD
ard cherries, the lost and torsaken. 1t

hatred to love, revenge to kindness an.

smile IN the brow betrays kind heart, a
pleasant friend, an atiectionate brother a

charm to beauty; decorates the face OF the
deformed, and makes lovely woman
resemble an angel in Paradise.

About forty OF the 15o attending reside IN tbs
city. and go out and III every day, and about
twenty others come On the Rock Island Railroad
from Blue Island way. Some are attending who
reside at Austin, and go back and forth each

tho SCHOOL is well located for tho accommodation
Of the county.
The gentlemen appointed By tbs County Board
OF Education to maze the examination, which
took place Friday, March 26. will BOON make

the efforts that have been made by Mr. Went

with cheap boasd, and goad tabe-board can now
be obtained at from S2.25 to $3.50 per week.
