Of such boilers must be often opened,

chill Of the furnace plates is caused by
the inrushing cold air. The effect of the
sudden cooling of parts Of the boiler is
to unduly contract and strain them, the
contraction being resisted by those parts
that are not so suddenly cooled. In

leak, or it will pull in two between the
rivet holes, perhaps one-third the way

DlDECORATIOys OF NEW FORK
HOUSES.

InIn some of the Fifth avenue palaces
the e decorative work represents, not only
thouousands of dollars, but the combined
taste,te, skill and labor of artists and
mec cbchanics. In quaint combinations of
colorors, richness of drapery, wealth of
carvi,ving and the beauty Of the painted
decororations, some of the apartments of
thesese private residences are splendid be-
yondnd description. Many of the rooms
are 81 80 adorned as to illustrate poem,
depiGict celebrated battle or give form
and q expression TO some familiar legend
or ia fable. On tho frescoed wall of
broaoad hall, for instance, the lover of
Shakespeare may see his favorite plays
scene by scene, with all the
vigoror end feeling of master mind. In
the c, carved ceiling of an adjoining room
he mmay look upon the portrayal, in al
most ST living figures, of some deed Of
knigbghtly heroes, renowned in medieval
histotory, while the sunlight trickling
throuough the ornamental window of still
anotbther apartment brings into relief
some ne exquisite pastoral scene, tender in
its exexpressiveness and rich in its natural
colorors. All of these beautiful things are
strikiking evidences Of the progress that
has been made in the art Of interior
decororation within the past few years.
They " have supplanted style Of decora-
ton which was without art, without sys-
tenn al and often without atxactiveness.

LiTERATURE FOR BOYS.
The old-iashioned stories which the
munhappy boys of the last generation
reread have been succeeded by the manly
arand fascinating criminal novel. In the
olold story-books it was assumed that
trtruthfulness, honesty and obedience to
psparents were virtues, and that the Chris
tistian religion was not wholly devoid of
mmerit. II these views were not directly
tataught in the Juvenile literature of our
fafathers, at all events they were never

bobooks except preposterous platitudes--
nonothing that was of any practical use,
oror that tended TO develop in them manly
snsnd brilliant traits. No such complaint
cacan he made of the dime and balf-dime
nonovels of the criminal school which are
nonow read by all our boys, either openly
or or secretly. In these delightful stories
nenew forms Of profanity and slang are
tataught in the most effective way. The
pleleasnres Of burglary and highway rob-
bebery, the manliness of gambling and
fgighting, and the heroism of successful
Biying, are set forth in what is regarded
by5y youthful readers as glowing elo-
quauence while the great truths that all
paparents are tyrants, that all religious
peoeopls are hypocrites, and that disobedi-
encnce TO fathers and teachersis is obedience
to 10 the nobler instincts Of juvenile nature,
arere sedulously taught. Such stories as
thehese develop all that is manly and law
lesess in our boys, and teach them lessons
thahat cannot fail to be of immense SER
yicice to them in whatever criminal ca
reeeer they may adopt. There are a few
dld-fashioned people who denounce the
nevew Juvenile literature in unsparing
tererms but that nearly all fathers ap-
prorOve of it is self-evident They know
thahat their boys are reading novels illus
