A Pretty Room.

young working girl Of this city, by
the exercise of her own innate good
taste and putting every spare penny
where it would do the most good, has
furnished forth charming room at
comparatively small expense and suf-
ficlently aesthetic to please the most
fastidious person. The floor, painted
by her own hands, is a dark walnut
shade, partly covered by rug made
ofcheap ingram carpet in small pat
tern of cream and olive, bordered by q
broad band of plain olive felt. The
inexpensive wall paper is plain olive,
fiecked with pink, finished with plain
olive frieze; terminating at the corner
with cluster of four tiny pink fans.
One window faces dingy brick we'll,
and she painted the window panes in
bright water colors, following pretty
traced pattern; which gives q bit Of
stained glass quite effective in the pref
ty room. The other window is draped
gracefully with long folds of sprigged
muslin, depending from rings on a
plain pine roll. to be replaced in the
winter by a heavier curtain of olive
cotton flannel.
The furniture is light wood and a
lamp with a rosy transparency stands
on O'Clock tea table of unvafnished
wood and throws soft light over the
room, which also contains book
shelves of pine, a couple of second
hand easy chairs and small dry goods
box for shoes, covered by her own
hands with pink and olive cretonne.
A large clothes-horse, on which she
pasted the story of Cinderella in Walter
Cranes pictures over olive paper.
shuts off the bedstead and washstand
from view. The toilet accessories, set
off with spriggled muslin over pink
lining, are pink and white wash
bowl and large picher of the quaint
grades of china; a secondhand ward
robe, draped with a portiere of olive
Canton flannel, contains the un@sghetic
dust-pan, brooms and other homely
articles necessary TO neatness and COM
fort, all tait1es of that description
bought at the Scent counters.
A pretty willow rocking chair, orna-
mented with olive and pink ribbon,
and knitted hassock to match, the
two latter Christmas gifts, stand on the
rug. On the olive-drapped mantle are
g-andma's Nankin teapot, two tall
silver candle sticks, and large lginger
jar, not decorated and spoiled with
gummed ON pictures, but left in its
pristine blue and white beauty, filled
with white daisies gathered on Sunday
afternoon walks. Two or three pho
tographs on good subj ects, that are
better than chromos and cost less, hang
on the wall and complete the pretty
refuge of this proud and industrious
girl, who is selfrespecting enough to
earn her own living rather than to de-
pend on her rich relations. Horyord

Picking and Marketing OF Fruit.

The season is now at hand when the
pears and apples are to be picked and
marketed, and the care bestowed upon
the handling of them often makes q
very great difference in the amount re-
ceived for them. Both apples and
pears are better to be picked before
quite ripe, and Kept in cool, dark
room until ready for sale which is just
before they begin to get mellow. This
applies to fruit ripening in autumn;
the late or winter sorts are sold when
quite hard, rs are also some of the au-
tumn varieties when wanted for ship
ping to distance.
The best way to handle fruit that |
know of is, to pour it carefully from
the basket in which it is picked, into
bushel boxes in the field; these are TO
be carted on spring wagon directly to
the fruit room or cellar, where they
should be stacked up with one-inch
blocks between to allow free passage
of air, and left thus until wanted for
sale, when they should be carefully as
sorted and picked over. Where large
quantities of winter apples are to be
stored, they are either to be barreled
in the field and kept in a cool shed till
November, and then removed to the
cellar, or as many prefer when bar
rels are scarce, they can be carried in
boxes from the field in a spring wagon,
and stored in bins four feet deep. The
bins should allow free circulation of
air around and under the apples, and
he cellar where they are stored should
be freely aired at night, and closed on
warm days during October and Novem-
Der, and when severe weather comes
on, the cellar should be carefully
banked so as to exclude fro.t. Apples
need to be kept as cool as possible
