FURNISH your homes tastefully as far
Is you can. Make them beautiful ac-
cording TO your own standard, not ac-
cording TO the prevailing styles. Don't
thrust all your beautiful things into some
dark prison Of parlor where nobody
can ever see them. but have them about
you In the rooms that you inhabit,
that they may be perpetual charm to
you in the present and linger with ra-
dance and fragrance in the memories
OF all, long after the family group is
scattered and the hcarthstone has
grown old. You should also give your
influence and your means to encourage
public ornaments, as well rs public inn
provemcnts commonly so called, in the
community where you live. Every pub
lie ornament is public Improvement.
Central Park in New York does more
TO conserve the morals Of that city

Trials OF a Drummer.

Young Bummelhans has just been
discharged by his employer, old Two
percent. The facts are as follows:
Bummelhans had just returned from a
trip over the state. His trip had been
very satisfactory to himsely, perhaps.
but not SO to his employer. He had
spent great deal OF money in buggy
rides and one thing and another, and
had taken very few orders. When
Bummelhans called in to see the old
man the latter was mad He said: Il
don't pelieve you makes any effort 10

"IIow did you use to manage to sell

II will show you all apout dat. Schoost
you sits down in chairs. lou pees a
coontry merchant; l plays now the
drummer"
"All right" says Bummelhans, an
be a country merchant, and I'll show
you how they do"
Bummelhans pretended 10 DO writing
ut his desk, and old Twopercent came
up from one side, bowling and scraping.
"Goot morning. Can't l sell yor
some goots?"
"who are you?" says Bummelhans
looking up.
~ travels for de Galveston firm Of
Twopercent.
You do, do you? So you travel fol
that internal old thief, do you? TAX,
that!" and to impress upon his employs
the difficulties Of drumming up trade
Bummelhans kicked the old man fou
or five times, pushed him up in n corne
and choked him for a while, and thei
told the old gentleman, who was speech
less with bona flde rage, "If you eve
come in here again I'll not leave |
whole bone in your carcass.'
