House Furnishing.

A late work on Domestic Art makes
some good suggestions in the furnishing
of sleeping rooms:
The verge of the floor round the carpet
may be treated with parquet, as the best
thing to do, or be painted with clear
stain and vanished, either in some nat
ural wood color, or in green or reds
suitable to the other colorings OF the
room. Cork carpeting, as it is called,
also makes a good bordering for bed
room.
Curtains should be either Of washa-
BILE chintz for summer use, or even IN a
woven fabric OF glass green or brick red.
Peacock blue is more suited to a draw
ing room. Muslin curtains IN the sum-
mer, and indeed, at all times, may be
used, but in q dining room they are
hardly in keeping. Roller blinds, if OF
a simple patterned stuff are by no means
80 Objectionable as some people think,
and for utility they are not surpassed.
The rods, either for long or short cur
tains, should not be honestly shown, and
all valances or shaped cornices in gilt
composition carefully avoided. A
stout brass rod, with plain ball or
terminal at either end to stop the rings
from coming of, is all that is necessary.
The table covers in room are OF
some importance, and you cannot do
better than obtain quiet green baize,
and edge it either with plain binding to
match, or with bobbin fringe. The
panels of the doors may be filled with
leather paper, if the doors are common
place and mean in style, or conventional
foliage may be stenciled on the panels
in darker tone of the same color as the
door. In this latter case the assistance
of an artist, if you are not one, will be
desirable.
Cupboards and hanging presses should
run up to the ceiling, and in these
days, when ladies' wardrobes are more
numerous than ever, plenty of space Of
this character is great desideratum.
The wash stand, dressing table and
chairs must be simple and strong, with
good brush space under them, SO that
the floor may be frequently cleansed and
busted, and the wardrobe itself should
for the same purpose stand upon short
legs. For the hangings of bedroom
and coverlets of the bed, most ladies
will agree that good washing material
should be used, and now that so many
fast colored chintzes snd cretonnes are
to be had of suitable coloriugs and de-
sign, there is no reason why cold and
cheerless dimity should everlastingly be
perpetuated. Use white by all means,
If you have colors elsewhere, but let
your white be mellow, and not of the
washing blue character, which is so
common and Objectionable Boston

James Connerton, wagon driver,
aged about 80 years, living over saloon
Of the corner OF Sixth and Poplar streets,
took an ounce of laudanum yesterday
morning for the purpose Of frightening
his wife. as he said. He died six hours
later. Connerton went to Remnant
drug store on the corner opposite where
he lived, and bought ten cents worth of
landanum. He returned home, swal-
lowed the drug and laid down on his
bed. When his wife came into the room
he told her what he had done and she
went ut once for DIR. Louis Cruel. When
the physician arrived he found the man
sitting up in bed, without any symptoms
of poisoning. He laughed and chatted
freely with the doctor, but refused to say
why he took the laudanum until finally
pressed for an answer, when he said
lightly that he wanted to scare his wife
little.
The doctor gave directions that black
coffee should be administered to him and
that he should be kept continually walk
ing. Later in the day he became worse,
and his employer, who had arrived at the
house. had several physicians called in.
DIR. Cruel was also summoned. Elec-
tricity was used and every effort that
their skill and experience could suggest
was made, but after an hour and half's
labor the case was abandoned as hope
less and death soon ensued. He was
sober man and bore an excellent reputa-
ton. He leaves two children. His wife
SAYS there had been no trouble between
them, nor can she assign any reason for
the act.-Philudelphia Times.

Man as u HOusekeeper.

Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, writing the
Christian Union of his camp life in the
woods, gives the following advice: "All
men ought to go to the woods, and re-
ligiously do their own washing and gen
eral work-such as sewing. cooking,
house. keeping and dish-washing. The
work of women is not spoken OF sensi-
bly, by men until they have done it them
selves. Gentlemen readers, it is easy to
talk! But just try it on very modest
scale once, and you will honor working
women more than ever. Do as l have
done-do wash of six pieces, and then
remember that woman turns of two
hundred pieces day. Look at your
watch and see how long it takes you.
Look at your soap and see how much
you have used. Look at your white
clothes, handkerchief or towel and never
again speak harshly of or to a woman on
washday, nor of laundry work as if it
we're unskilled labor. Try it.
Don't talk. Don't sneer. Try it. A
sympathetic gentleman having washed
two dozen pieces will never change his
shirt again without glow of reverence
and gratitude. She did this. A similar
and solitary consciousness will come to
him when he darns his own socks, patches
his trousers, spices his suspenders and
washes dishes. Look not every man
upon his things, but every man also upon
the work of woman. Such an expo
rience in the woods will go far toward
settling the woman question, by teaching
us that we are all mem bers one of an.
other, and there must be no schism."
The Smallest Locomotive.
The smallest locomotive ever built in
the United States for regular work was
turned out by NJ. NJ. Black & Co., of st.
Louis recently, and shipped to the Ed
NEE plantation, st. Charles parish, La.
This little engine was designed by and
built under the supervision Of Mr.. Jay
Noble, and is as perfect piece of mech
anism a. one would wish to see. Its di-
minutiveness may be understood from
the following facts respecting it: twenty
one and one. half inches guage; diam
eter Of cylinder, six and one-qusrter
inches; stroke, ten inches; four wheels.
diameter Of driving wheels, twenty-four
inches; height OF engine 10 top Of boiler,
four feet seven inches; weight, without
water, $3.50 pounds. The engine has link
motion, and 10 made Of the best mate

of one uarter inch iron, and is thirty
inches in diameter in the barrel. 1t 10

inspirators. The tank is made Of No.

sixteen inches. . capacity Of $50 gallons,
and weighs without water, 400 pounds.

Is as great a success as the most en-

ladies remained through the session
Just closed, and two of them achieved
distinction in their classes. All OF them
appeared before the rostrum. The
Chancellor remarked that they took
their places in the classes, and in all the
exercises Of the University, so naturally
and with such womanly tact, that it was
strange thing it had not always been
so. As to the effect upon the young men,
he claimed there was no earthly infu-
ence so potent for good as the presence
Of pure womanhood; and rs to the effect
upon the Young ladies themselves, it was
so favorable, that he would like 10 see
the number increased to five hundred.

Faculy, with whom had the pleasure
Of dining to-day) and the Others are also
