The English drawing-room is almost
always at the back of the houses and
looks out upon the garden, for it must
be known that, however large the
grounds, the house is built quite near
the road and there is little or no front
garden; and there is sure To be quite a
high wall at the front, SO as to shut OFF
the house and grounds from the gaze and
eyes of the common herd. Many houses,
indeed all through the provinces. have
gates in these high walls with bells, and
the servant comes from the house to the
o. Ltside gate TO answer the bell. The.
papering of the drawing-rOom is of
somewhat lighter color than that of the
other rooms. The furniture is also less
massive, and has Just a tendency deco
ration and art. The line is strictly drawn
at water-color painting upon the walls.
In no well-ordered English family does
one ever see an oil painting on the walls
of the drawing-rOOm. l have never been
able to fully take IN the reason for this
custom. / conjecture, however, that
the walls of the drawing room being
lighter and of more expensive papering
that it is deemed bad taste TO cover them
up with great pictures and frames.
Water-colOrs moreover are more IN
keeping with the li"hter tone of the
room. So it is; you never, under any
circumstances, see oil paintings in the
saloon of an English house.
The bedroom furnishings are Of like
heavy sort with the rest of the house.
The brass bedstead has taken the place
of the old ''fOnr poster" but the canopy
is retained. The curtains are drawn
for the night when the bed is opened.
Day coverings and pillow shams" for
the bed are things unknown in Eng
land. 1t is always delieiOusly clean,
and with its cretonne or muslin hang
lngs looks neat and tidy. In many
houses the feather-bed is still the thing,
and is always ;.sed upon all bedsteads
in winter.
IT may be truthfully said that in all :
middle-class families OF England the
dining-room Is the living room of the
house. The family or such of them as
remain at home-sit in the dining-rOom
the forenoon and until after noon meal,
whether that be luncheon OF dinner.
The dining-roOm is commonly very
large room and is furnished for COM
fort, having generally the most pleasant
exposure TO garden, sun and air. The
kitchen is seldom near the dining-rOOm
and the pantIies are connected with the
kitchen; so that the dinIng-rOOm is free
of all the OdOr of cooking and from all
the necessary noise of the kitchen and
pantries. AS all meats and hot dishes
are brought to the dining-room closely
covered, there is seldom any smell from
the kitchen floating about OF lurking
about the house.
Were the color of the house less SOM
Der and the furniture less cumbrOus;
were the rooms more open and less
separated each from the other, the Eng
lish house would be the center OF the
most perfect external comfort known To
the domestic life of this world. As it
is, the English house is the home of
sweet love, of thoughtful civility. and
of unforgetting and undying loyalty.

fruits a. si-dicIDe.

OF all the fruits with which we are

II our people would eat less bacon and
grease at breakfast and more fruit. In
the morning there j. an acrid state of
the secretions, and nothing IS so well
calculated to correct this as cooling
sub-acld fruits, such as peaches, apples,
etc. Still, most of us have been taught
that eating fruit before breakfast is
highly dangerous. How the idea orig.
mated do not know, but it IS certainly
a great error, contrary to both reason
and facts. The apple is one of the best

A Coal Mine ON Fire


W1LKEsBARRE, June 1.-THE Dor
rance shaft of tho Lehigh Valley Coal
Company met with serious accident
last night, which, though destructive to
property, was not attended with loss

Fortunately there we're two ways OF
escape, ono by means of the air shaft
and the other through second opening.

BOWIE, June l4.-[Speciai. After

AID correspondent finds that the do.
struction to cotton is not so extensive or

accomplish great amount of mischief.
There are some fields that are eaten

is probably these will come out again
and yet make cotton. In brief, it is safe
to say, that farmers, though doubtless
damaged somewhat here and there, are
as rule worse scared than hurt. Har.

considerable proportion of the wheat
