Hint. for nou.. Adorum.at.

Housekeepers usually believe that the
great spring renovation is not satisfac-
tory without the addition of "some new
thing" to the house. Paint and paper
will accomplish a wonderful transfor-
nation, and little articles Of needlework
will give freshness and grace for the
next seasons. Rattan chairs and
couches are upholstered in light chintz,
giving q summer appearance with CON-
fort.
The Decorator and Furnisher sup
plies this suggestion for the treatment
of walls and ceilings: "a lovely effect
is gained by having the walls clear
birds egg blue, with dadlo and frieze o
rich dark blue. while the woodwork is
dull Indian red in two shades, or the
walls pale yellow, with dada and frieze
rich orange yellow. A low-toned
Antwerp blue and warm gray an wood
work is harmonious, while Pompeian
red and dado, and light red frieze, with
salmon -colored walls and two shades of
bronze green with dark red in grooves
on woodwork, presents an elegant ap-
pearance."
A mistake is often made by selecting
carpets of the same color as the paper.
A contrast is preferable.
At the spring fairs embroidery has
been displayed with taste, and, alas,
sometimes with want of taste. That
any one in these days of art work should
produce a green tidy worked with an
inharmonious blue ribbon seems almost
incredible, that some one else should
elaborately embroider a large, bright
pink perfume bag with yellow flowers
is also mysterious, but such evil deeds
and others like them are constantly OBJ
truding themselves before public notice.
Perhaps they are more noticeable be-
cause they are rare.
The crazy quilt mania still RACES,
but with less intensity. "If you could
see my especial beautiful quilt" the
needle.workers exclaim, "you would not
say that the making of it was time
wasted" The search for silk pieces
and peculiar stitches still continues,
Each NIX square must De surrounded
with 5 different variety Of fancy stitch
and when the quilt is composed Of one
hundred squares the ninety ninth stitch

in bed sleeping she was struck terrible blow
on the head with an N. Her scull was frac-
tured She IL still alive, but cannot recover.
She regained consciousness several times, and
stated that her husband WAS away when she
retired. Griest denies that being away. He
says he was lying beside his wife when she was
struck, and that he ran after the would-be
murderer. He then alarmed the neighbors

ON the rail, and watched the man

that the wind was rising and it had be-

Hour after hour passed, and still no
watchman. Captain Seers had left the
message with Horizons clerk, who
failed to deliver it; that was all. And
so wrapped in Oil-skia Johnny paced
the wet deck with jack at his side,
while the continually Increasing gale
piped and whiseied thro' the rigging.
By midnight it was blowing harder
than ever, and Johnny began to feel
very uneasy, though he scarcely knew
why. Ascending to the quarter he
steadied himself by the mizzen rigging

twang, and the stern llawser, which had

another, and still another.
