Shades and shada De 1orarion.

Probably nothing will ever be offered
the trade in shade goods which so uni
versally fills the popular demand as
Hollands, so completely do they soften
the light and so durable are their wear
inc properties OF late years. however,
q great demand has arisen for painted
paper shades, which for appearance are
very desirable.
The colorings and designs which can
be applied to paper are unlimited, and
the artists scope is unbounded by con-
ventionalities. The plain dado, which
was adopted short while back as a
fanciful ornamentation for the window
shade is now succeeded by handmade
sketches. During the past few years
decorative efforts in every style of shade
goods have not been wanting, and in
some goods twinning vines are curled
up over the sides and tops of the shades.
Transparencies also have been intro
duced, which show pleasing effects from
outside as wen as inside the house.
The silk shade, although expensive
and easily disordered. is becoming more
and more used in rich decoration. 1t is
gathered in folds across the window,
two or more cords passing the folds to
a slat at the bottom, and when these
cords are drawn mp the curtain is gath
ered-shirred. Something embodying
the same principle has been offered the
trade in times past, by which the cur
tain is drawn to the right or left, or up
or down, by means of enough cords and
pulleys to regulate full rugged ship.
The object of this idea was excellent, as
by it one could shut off the sun from
whichever corner of the window it was
entering, without shutting out at the
same time, as is now often the case, a
great deal of desirable light Carpet

RULES FoR LOVE MAKING.
t catch your lover.

First catch your lover.
Hold him when you have him.
Don't let go of him to catch every new
one who comes along.
Try to get pretty we'll acquainted with
him before you take him for life.
Unless you intend to support him find
out whether he earns enough to support
you.
Don't make up your mind that he is an
angel.
Don't palm yourself off on him as one,
either.
Don't let him spend his salary on you;
that should be reserved till after mar
riage.
If you have any conscientious scruples
against marrying a man with mother,
say so in time, that he may either get rid
of her to oblige you, or get rid of you to
obiige her, as he thinks best.
If you object to secret societies and to-
bacco it is better to come out with your
objections now than to reserve them for
curtain lectures hereafter.
If your adorer happens to fancy GER
tain shade of hair, don't color or bleach it
to oblige him. Remember your hair be-
longs to you, and he doesn't.
Be sure it is the man you are in love
with and not the clothes he wears. Fortune
and fashion are both so tickle, it is
foolish to take style suit for better or
worse.
If you intend to keep three servants
after marriage, settle the matter before
hand The man who is making love TO
you may expect you to do your own wash
ing.
Don't try to hurry up a proposal by
carrying on Irritation with some other fell
low Different material, and the one you
want might go off in a fit of jealous and
forget to come back.
Don't marry man to oblige third per
son in existence. 1t is your right to suit
Yourself in the matter. But, remember at
the same time love is blind, and a little
friendly advice from one whose advice is
worth having may ensure you a life
time of happiness, or prevent one of
misery.
In love affairs keep your eyes wide open,
so that when the right man comes along
YOU may see him.
If you have no fault to find with him
personally, financially, conscientiously,
socially, morally. politically, religiously or
any other way, he is probably perfect
enough to suit yeu and you can afford to
Believe in him, hope in him, love him, and
marry him.

A Woman,s View of the Navy.

Mary Jane has been visiting Pensaco-
Ia, and writes to the Louisville Courier
Journal: Il went down to the navy
yard and it looked just like the head
quarters of an organization that was no
organization. | mean i'll the amount OF
work going on; in other respects the
place looks like the navy business was
very good and that Uncle Sam was
anxious to make the official environ
ments as pleasant as possible. AS 1
looked at the dear, delightful fellows IN
their good clothes and shady portcos,
wept to think of them being shot to
pieces by great ugly iron shells and
things. and prayed that they might be
preserved for ali time as parlor orna-
ments. dancing adjuncts, and for brio
a-brac purposes generally. Heavens!
how a woman loves to think of an orna-
mental man. and how she longs to have
one to take around with heri Political
", / have nothing to say about navy

Peculiar.
1t reads funny, though it may all be
natural enough. Keller, dramatic crit
ic on a New York newspaper. defended
Maud Granger from an attack in the
Dramatic World, wherein her character
and mode of life were asssailed and Sc
verely reflected upon. The other night
her husband met Keller and, in connec-
ton with the author of the.attaek on his
wife, began pummeling him. To lick a
man for defending ones wife is not the
ordinary way of doing things, but dra-
matte life has its peculiarities.

Death OF Rev. j. r. Franklin.

This community has been saddened
by the news of The sudden death oil
Rev. j. L. Franklin, formerly rector OF
st. Stephens church of this place. He
left Middlebury some two years since
to accept call to Erie, Pa. While here
he endeared himself both to his own
church and to all others who enjoyed

and sad news to many hundreds of

these: Mr.. Franklin had been to Titus

about noon Yesterday. During tine
evening very dear friend by the name
of Hess stopped over on his why to
Ohio and called to see Mr.. Franklin.
The two spent very pleasant evening
at the house of Mr.. James uoskinson,
West Sixth street, where the reverend
gentleman lodged. Soon after ! l O'Clock
Mr.. Franklin retired. lie was heard
walking about the room, and in about
10 minutes Mr.. Hess fancied he heard
a crash. Thinking his friend had
merely dropped pitcher he took no
notice OF the circumstance, but when
water began to soak through the parlor
ceiling Mr.. Hess went up TO Mr.. Frank
Inns rooms to see what was the matter.
He was Mortified to find the minister
lying prone on the floor, his face on the
ground, and near him broken pitcher.
Mr.. Hess rushed to the PROSTATE form
and found him still breathing. DR..
was sent for, but when he
arrived few minutes later the minister
was dead. His shoes were off and it
was evident he was about undressing
