THE DECORATIVE ARTS.

The rage for china decorations appears
to be on the increase of late, much of it
very delicate and beautiful, and more,
we regret to add, that is anything but
ornamental. Why porcelain or delf
table ware should be painted in all the
colors of the rainbow, like a piece of
cotton print, or checked and diapered
like bandana handkerchief, is one of
the mysteries that is past finding out i;
but, because the exquisite productions
of Sevres or Berlin or the priceless
wares of China or Japan are wrought
with exquisite designs that are severally
chef-d euvres of artistic skill, we can
see no good and sufficient cause for
covering up our dinner and tea service
with bad pictures of impossible land.
scape, with meaningless repetitions Of
stenciled figures on diapered patterns:in
crude pigments to weary the eye with
their fatiguing sameness. 1t is a true
adage that cleanliness is next to godli.
ness, and if the precept is as true as il
ought to be the appearance of neatness
is clearly religious duty. A plate OF
platter of immaculate purity to .
critical mind assuredly enhance
the flavor of the viands that ar,
served upon it, and although tn,
amber coffee or fragrant Bohea is ye
more enjoyable from a porcelain cul
that is esthetically decorated without, i
would seem an incongruous thing for it
inner surface to be elaborately painted
and gilt-why then should plate O
plaque be treated otherwise? The pro
miscuous chintzing Of delf and porce
laine in blue, chocolate, pinks or brow
colors without reference to any astheti
principle is species Of violence to goo'
taste and fitness that it is time t.
halt over; and for that matter VIII,
should dinner or tea servic
have each piece, say each cup an
saucer, painted as like every othe
piece in the set as one ten-pin is lik
another? One of the most exquisite set

Grafton, nor is there any reason why they
should be more than that there should
be two or more exactly identical land
scapes in collection of pictures. If,
however, it Is more convenient to have
the forms correspond then pleasing
variety may be secured through the
varying decorations chosen. If, however,
the decorations do not embellish, the less
that is done by way OF destroying the
immaculate purity Of the surface of the
china or delf the less the principles Of
good taste are violated.

A Humorisrs ADVICE to Young NE,


Did you ever sit down, Telemachus,
and contemplate for an hour or two
the beauty Of silence? You will APP
preciate It's beauty and its blessing,
my son, as you grow older. Some
time when you want to think and the
Dor. v no Is with you wants TO talk ;
some time when your ears have been
dinned into partia! paralysis by the
man who always will talk to GU In
the railroad car 4; some time when q
man bss been talking politics to you
when he knows you hate politics ;
some time when he has been telling
you all about himself or trying to
find out all about yourself, then you
will know. my son, how beautiful Is
silence. How like benson 1t comes
to soothe your ruffied spirit; falling on
your tortured soul softly as the twi-
light shadows, and you love her with
love that is alteration, and on the
affairs of your grateful heart you burn
before her Doiseless shrine the voice
less Incense of your worship. All
through your life, my boy, cultivate
flashes OF silence. Now and then an
hour of contemplation is worth q week
Of talk. The friend you love is all the
dearer to you when you sit and hold
his hand III that is his gender, my
SOM and can say nothing to him
When you meet astraDger, my son who
can talk eleven hours day, avoid him
and don't shoe, him il you can poss
bly, get rid Of him by lawful means.
And, one parting word, Telemachus,
don't talk to man In a railroad car.
He is never, at least rarely, thankful TO
you. Railway conversation Ia always
tiresome; the listener has to strain his
ears to hear, the tslker has to strain
his voice to speak; II you speak too
loud, everybody can hear you; il you
speak too low, you can't hear each
other. Never talk TO people on the
train, strangers or friends, unless you
have something to say, and then say
it aud close your shell. Don't,
don't, don't talk in:the mere effort
to pass away the time. You will
only make the hours Infinitely
heavier. or course, circumstances
and the people you meet, their habits
and varying dispositions will show
you when and where to make liberal
exceptions to these rules, but don't
talk, never, never talk on the train to
the man who doesn't want to talk, and
only keeps up his part of the conversa.
ton from courtesy. And II you can't
tell when man doesn't really want to
talk with you, my son, you had better
get a position as teacher In some asy.
lum for the deaf and dumb, and learn
to lose your voice, entirely, as fast as
you can.-Burlington Hawkeye.

AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter Of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues They correct diseased action in

cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baiIled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
fi effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripc much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not in1amed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood.
