NOVEL INTERIOR DECORATIONS.
Innovations introduced Since Electricity

New York SUM-
aInterior decoration has been greatly
affected by electric lighting" said q gentle
man who was formerly Edison's first as
sistant at Menlo Park, as he and a reporter
entered the large showroom Of a manu-
factory Of electrical apparatus "Look at
those globes and you will see shapes which
were never thought Of before electric lights
wers INTRODUCED"
The reporter looked in the direction indt-
Gated, and saw many rows Of glass globes Of
various shapes, but none resembling those
usually seen on gas fixtures Some were
formed like lilies some like bluebells, and
these with many variations In color and sizs
met the eye in large numbers
these shapes have been developed" con-
tinued the electrical engineer, "hy electric

and globes formed like these end Off the fix
lures most gracefully, the curved rod to
which the lamp /, attached being regarded
as the stem and the globe as the flower. You
will SEQ this principle carried out in many Of
the fixtures overhead"
Looking up, the reporter saw surpended
from rods running across the ceiling hum
dreds of fixtures. Especially noticeable
were some brass chandeliers which had been
imported from London. They were worked
in beautiful designs Of leafy, dropping
branches, with glass blossoms inclosing the
electric lamps. Near by was a chandelier
Of crystals ornamented with jsweled glass.
A switch was turned on and In q mo-
ment tho room was brilliantly illumi-
mated. The current had run along the rods,
and the electric lamps were lighted.
There was wealth Of color-shimmers Of
blue. orange, carmine, and yellow-and
many tints reflected from brass and crystal
The finest fixture was an enormous panel OF
brass set in the wall 1t represented trellis
work and vines In addition to the colored
globes the glass on the lamps themselves
was colored. As a result, many colored
lights shimmered among the leaves.
Another handsome fixture, not for light
ing, but merely for decorating purposes,
was confer piece for ceiling. 1t was q
large semi-slobe Of Opaque substance.
studded with je yelled glass. This was
placed over a clu ter of electric lamps.
When the latter were lighted, the jewelled
glass glowed. This fixture Is designed for
room with looking glass friezs which will
reflect the glow.

SWELL, it is hard to compare the demon
stration Of pleasure and applause by differ
ent audiences, In different parts of the world
But have received very warm receptions
in other places also, I assure you. For in
stance, the first night sang In New York I
was called In front Of the curtain seven times
after the first act They are much more
demonstrativs In Italy than they are in this
country, even. Why, at the close OF tho
performance In Florence, the night
I sang "Somnambula," was called
out thirty times, and finally quelled
the disturbance by throwing kisses
at the audience. At another theatre there,
soon afterward, was called out so many,
many times that couldn't count them, and
asked the gentlemen what 1t all meant.
They told me that the audience would keep
calling me out until the next day unless
threw them kisses as l did at the other the
atre. So went out again and threw kisses
to them, and, sure enough, after many ex-
pressions of satisfaction. they let me rest. In
Florence the interest in my singing was such
that the shops closed at o'clock to enable
their employees to hear me-"
"Do the audience make remarks to the
actors in Italyr
ayes, they talk right out Everybody
there Is acquainted with every note in tho
opera you are singing, and they do not toll
crate alterations unless made with supreme
good taste. II prima donna make q

HIS TRANQUIL PASSENGER.
The broadway Conductor Finally Escapes
Hex by Help Of n Wicked Lie.
Nav ynrir Sun


4 woman hailed Broadway car at Thir-
ty fourth street, and stood still until the ear
came to u full stop. 1t was in the morning,
It was a crowded car, and behind time. The
woman had u large, trustful, and tranquil
face. She stood on the gutter and yelled:
Conductor, do you pass Grace churchf
"Yes, we do" said the conductor; ARE
you going this weeki'
''WelI," said the woman peacefully, ~
think will go now"
well, woul / not be TOO sudden about
It," said the conductor rs she walked toward
the car; 'it might cause a rush Of blood to
the head"
TLere we're seventeen men by actual couns
on the platform, and nost of them were
obligei to step out on the sidewalk SO US TO
give the large and leisurely woman chance
to get into tie car. Meanwhile loud and
angry chorus rose from tho blockaded cars
In the rear. She stepped on a mans toes
with such frequency and effect that ths
man gave her scat to save his corns,
and after another man had raised
and subsequently lowered tho window for
her, she had time to keep the conductor wait
ing an extraordinary length of time while
she explored her pockets for five cents.
Presently the conductor put his head into
the door and yelled "Grace church, He
rang the bell, and the car came TO a full
stop. The woman rose slowly and went
carefully to the rear OF the car. Here she
pushed her way, facing north, to the plat
form, placed both hands on the rail, gazed
pleasantly through her glasses, and said:
well, that is what call q very pretty

A Good Word for the Mosquito.
TTexas Siftingsl

A brainy scientist, whose great name has
evaded our memory, but who has Jumps on
his forehead like a summer squash, has
demonstrated beyond the psradvanture OF
doubt that mosquitoes are healthy. -.
when the mosquito samples the life OF .
human being, he, the mosquito, Is actuated
by the purest and noblest motives. Nature
has NOT only supplied the insect with kind
heart but also with an antidote for ma
laria. When he stings he simultaneously
inparts 10 the sufferer dose OF quinine, or
something which answers the purpose just
ss well. Such is the theory Of our scientist,
and we believe IL is correct. a-,.-a a..-ss
The mosquito is never found soaring about
the mountains where the air is pure and
fresh, but always down in narshy and ma
lsrious placer where stalks the ghastly chill,
the dumb yet eloquent ague, indolent hver,
and torpid spleens. Nature has located the
mosquito where be is needed, and where he
can do the most good with his little hypoder-
mic injection of quinine. ~
When some rich. fat lady Is driven about
town. with her malarious liver, she paws
the lever-laden atmosphere and blasphemes
about the humble mosquito, never dreaming
that the health giving INSECT that 70 tapping
the back Of her neck is hard at work saving
hsr Life; but sich Is the case, nevertheless.

One of the mot novel scenes ever wit

The congregation was large and the serv-
ices were unusually impressive. After the
discourse the stage setting was prepared for
the candidates for baptism.
When the scenery In front was drawn
back beautiful sight presented itself The
scenery had been so arranged as to form
charming woodland scene; the pool was
placed In the center Of the stage, and was
surrounded by flowers and rocks, which
formed rustic spot; the background was

Cutting Things Under Water.
igcianfiffc hmarican


When science was in its infancy, much Of
It's fact was mixed with nonsense, ami som,
Of the nonsense shows o wonderful vitality
A case in point Is the recent republication Of
q nonsense bit that was current at least
forty years ago. It ID q recipe for cutting
glass with shears or scissors. The statement
Is that sheet glass can be cut with the great
est ease with pair Of scissors II the glass Is
kept under water and kept In q level posi-
tion. That there Is not q word Of truth In IL
any one may easily prove on trial, with
the result Of dulling pair Of shears.
There Is ono cutting process that can be
better done under water than out Of water;
that Is, the pairing Of onions. When pared
under water the acrid emanations, so TN
pleasant to the mucous membrane OF eyes
and nose, are diss olved or held In the water.
But neither the quality Of glass nor tho
power Of scissors is changed by immersion
In water ."

The Cuban cigarmaksrs are mainly colored
psople, although many creoles and Spanish
emigrants engage in the trade. The cigar
makers form the roughest and most miser-
able part Of the population Of Havana
Their conduct Is regulated by the good or
poor yield Of the tobacco crop. II. the yield
ID good and abundant there Is hardly any
way to manage the men properly, rs great
want Of workmen Ia then felt II the crop
Is poor there are plenty Of hands, and with
the reduction Of wages they become quite
tractable. a.fs
When high wages are paid the cigGrmakers
become unmanageable, and manufacturers
use every means to entice laborers from one
house 10 another, often bribing and loaning
money with no prospect Of ever being repaid.
Hundreds Of dollars are spent sometimes In
inducing single workman to leave ono
place for another. In times Of scarcity OF
hands the state prisoners are released. In
1851 the government freed 800 convicss to
supply the wants Of tobacco manufactures.
