A man is "dead drunk"

A man is "dead drunk" accord
ing to the savants of the Paris Bio
logical Society, when the fluid which
circulates in his arteries and veins
contains one part of alcohol to one
hundred and ninety-fve parts of
blood. Should the proportion be-
come one part of alcohol to 100 of
blood, death unjust ensue. In ordinary
cases the drinker loses consciousness
before so great a proportion of
alcohol has entered the circulation,
but the fatal dose is sometimes
taken when a large quantity of alco-
holic liquor is swallowed quickly,

Childrsn's Questions.

Children are often very troublesome
III asking questions, and they should be
taught not to interrupt conversation in
company; but this being understood, is
is not desirable to refuse to answer ques.
tons which an active child must ask 20
ofte n, to be able to learn the why's and
whsrefores Of daily life. By giving due at.
tention to these little troublesome CUES.
tons q child's trtlest education may he in
process. To be sure there are parents.
who having solved these little mysteries
become Indifferent to them and cannot
10 * upon the eager restlessness of their
children with due consideration, or
sympathise with their desire to pene.
trate causes and trace effects. By pay.
ing heed to these troublesome questions.
however,.a child may learn many facts,
for his education commences with his
interest In what you may consider too
trlfling for you to notice. Children nun.
ger after new things and new ideas. They
will learn with pleasure facts of history
or OF science from the lips Of parents or
teachers, which would seem drudgery II
learned by rote from books, and they
take great delight in listening to the con-
versation Of intelligent people; there.
fore they should be allowe ! to remain
IN the drawing room or the library, if
they will not interrupt the conversation,
and are taught to conduct themselves
properly. Many man owes his success
in life to the conversations he has lis.
tened to in his fathers home, when bis
parents had not the least idea he was
old enough to take any interest in what
Interested them; but his young mind was
drinking in draughts of wisdom which
were Of incalcula6ie benefit to him. On
the other hand, there are men who hav.
learned the iniquities of life while lis.
tening to the conversation of their elders
AMI have had cause to rue it all their
lives. Children are not like dogs; they
must learn to follow in the footsteps
either Of the just Or the unjust-learn TO
be good or learn to BE- evil.

A YOUNG GIRLS ROOM.
What Nav be Done in the Way of
Furnishing.

What Nav be Done In the Way of
.Furnishing.
From the Decorator and Furnisher.
As the suggestive of what may be done
cannot do better than describe a room
recently fitted up for a city clergyman's
little daughter by the ladies of his
congregation as an expression of their
regard. The walls were covered with
paper in . pretty design Of daisies and
bluets dragged eailors) upon q creamy,
|. tticed ground. The ceiling was paint
ed sky blue, with dome effects given by
deepening the coiors toward the edges.
Two or three feathery clouds heightened
the illusion, and flight of three or four
swallows swept across the skyey surface
toward the windows. The carpet was
only remarkable for it's harmony with
the situation. being simply an ordinary
Brussels. with 4 ground matching the
wall paper tint, ard 80
closely covered with small spring
flowers that the effect was almost
chene. A dark blue border and one or
two rugs relieved the eye and prevented
q garish appearance. The doors and
window frames were fortunately of ash,
aud 80 in thorough accord with the pre-.
dominant tint OF the room, which was
blue. The window curtains were mod
els Of dainty simplicity. They we're
made OF cottage drapery, figured Swiss
muslin, rather thicker than the dress
material of that name aud woven with a
border on one selvedge. which repeated
the center pattern; in this case the fig.
ufe was daisy the size of dime, with
hne OF the same flowers twice the size
between two stripes, for a border. The
novelty about the curtains was an addi-
ton made by cutting two Sits, two inch.
stripes, at intervals fisk inches apart and
buttonholing the edges loosely, making a
succession OF bias, in and out Of which
was slipped blue ribbon two inches
broad. Bands and bows of the same
ribbons were used for looping the cur.
tains back. The furniture was of 5anl.
boo, and all of the pieces we're OF
smaller size than the articles In
ordinary rooms, yet not sufficient
" dwarfed to be useless. A miniature
lon1ge and two easy chairs were GOV.
cred with buff and blue cretonne, and
blue ribbon bows were tied upon the
upper corners Of the graceful little cane
seat chairs. The small bed was low, with
an airy extension of bamboo rods at the
head, springing up to hold q large ring,
through which curtain of Swiss muslin
IKE those at the windows, was drawn.
A folding bamboo screen IN front of the
mantle had two panels Of cream and two
OF blue eateen. The former were deco.
rated with snowbalis and duets in ar.
5aeene embroidery, the latter with
daisies in ribbon work. The armoire and
chifoner were . third smaller than full.
sized furniture, and the dressing bureau
was Of similar dimensions. All the
dainty toilet appointments of tho latter
were decorated with blue, and the frame
OF the long dressing glass was covered
with full ruche Of blue silk. Some
choice engravings and colored photo;
and girlhood were hung upon the walls
by blue cords and tasseIs, and the small
book shelves were filled with such books
Is young people enjoy.
