House Furnishing.

The first thing to be considered in
furnishing house is, the amount of
money in the purse, and next the COM
fort and convenience of its future H.
mates. 4 great many writers forget all
about comfort, convenience, and utility;
they have certain ideas about Fart" and
the ''esthetic' and forget all about the
tact that the greatest of all ars Is to
adapt things to their uses, and that we
should never try to obtlln beauty at the
sacrifice Of convenience. five cannot
have but one, let it be convenience
every time.
We suppose that the house is already
bought and We h0fs paid for. The first
thing 10 think offs the walls. lam not
talking nos TO those who lave an I'M
limited supply Of cash to expend for
whatever pieaseS their fancy, but to
those gho must study economy in all
their expenditures. My preference
both as regards cheapness and cleanli-
ness, as well as beauty. IS in favor of a
nice smooth i;alsomined wall before any
other. Ii can be tinted to remove the
giariraEs uirrsrnvss, ard cun be easily
and cheaplv renewed, looking fresh and
bright at each renewal.
In purchasing furniture do not buy
things to merely be looked at, but to
be used Get that which is of good
color and design, though unobtruslve,
and appropriate to its purpose.
Above all do not buy everything 10
match" Choose things to "harmon-
ize" instead. Do not buy certain ar
ticles because they are fashionable, or
because Mrs. So-and-So has one, or
because Mr. Hipopalorum Artistican-
dun says they are "ses,he,ic;" but if
you expect to get any pleasure out of
ii, buy because you need that very
thing, and selec, it with reference to the
convenience Of your own family, rather
than the say-so of some one who cares
nothing Tor YOU.
True taste in housekeeping will a.
ways be in fashion. and is the same to-
day as twas one hundred years ago,
or WI be one hundred years hence;
and the best furnished room in house
is not on which the most money has
been expended but that which express
es the refined taste and cultivated per-
ceptions of its occupants.

Orderly Habits.
By BESSIE VICTOR.

When was a very little girl, too
young. in fact, to comprehend that the
habits which then formed would eth
er stick to me through life, or be very
hard to get rid OF. my mother told me
that | was ..sloven.' What a sloven
was did not know, but knew enough
to hunt for a word in the dictionary,
as that had been taught ME as soon as
/ coHd read. So the obnoxious word
was hunted up one day when nobody
was mound, and this is what l read,

A CONGRESS OF FAT MEN.

There are number of very fat
people at Bunnell's Museum, Broad
way and Ninth streets. They are
competing for prizes to be given to
the heaviest weight. 1t is in fact a
congress of obesity. Among those
who have entered their avoirdupois
are Recinnie Porter. of Camden, Ind.
who makes the scales balance at $50
pounds, fifteen of which are credited
to his feet; Richard james. OF Wayne
county. o.. who refuses to tell how
much he weighs, and who has conse-
quently set visitors guessing; Francis
Williams, also of Ohio. who appears
to be broader than he is long, and
Samuel NJ. Bishop, of Petersburg.
Va, who is only seventeen years of
age, but who looks as if he had been
living on the fat of the land since
before the war. There are four fat
women also on exhibition. 1t was
estimated by man who won the
prize at a recent hog guessing at
Bunnell's, that the combined weight
OF the tons of humanity on exhibition
is 1876 pounds. As there are ten
contestants the average for each one
is fixed at about 4S7. Mr.. George
Starr, the manager of the Museum.
was astOnished when he received the
following dispatch from Easton, Pa. ::
MIR. Edward Rudd has left here
for your Museum. We had to put
him in a freight car He weighs 552
pounds. 6ounces and 1 pennyweights.
He did not have his winter clothes
on when this exact weight was taken.
He can eat dozen quails day for
six months. If you cannot get him
in through the front door, hoist him
up to the second floor the same as
you would a safe. Easton takes
great pride in its champion fat man.
His feet are each eighteen inches in
length. Two of them make a yard.
You had better make contract to
have him fed for a week"

HOW THE MILLIONAIRE FLEECED THE
