Room Draperies Which Every Year Gain
In Popularity.
Each year portieres gain in popular
ity. They are not only graceful and
pretty additions to the drapery of a
room or hall, but they are SO very use
fui that people who are 10th to follow
the Ito them) "new-fangled ideas"
stand ready to speak word in their
favor. There is an almost endless va
riety of material to use for this pur-
pose, but those who must contrive and
economic are glad of hints about these
things. A comparatively cheap horse
blanket, if a good color is selected,
makes a very nice drapery and is far
handsomer than the Canton flannel so
much used, that really does not
look very well, and invariably
collects all dust of room.
A dark gray or brown blanket will last
much longer, frieze can be added of
large blocks of dark. rich, contrasting
colors of cloth, plush or velveteen.
These tackled on with ornamental
stitches over the bright stripes of the
blanket, give a really excellent effect,
and your drapery has nice look that
a lighter material can not have. The
expensive Mexican blankets are hand
some enough without adding any bor-
ders, the bright colors making them
very effective in an otherwise darkly
finished room. Coarse bagging tackled
over bright red wall paper and jap

Smart Detectives.

Two Liverpool detectives. named
Byrne and Smythe, had discussion
some months ago in which Smythe de-
cried the incompetency of the modern
detectives. Byrne retorted that he
could run down the smartest criminal
on earth. A heavy wager was made,
and Smythe was given ten days start.
He took the next steamer for this city
and visited a number of places. regis
tering at various hotels under different
aliases Byrne followed. and after
reaching New York employed some of
the best detective talent in the country.
For some time all traces of Smythe were
lost, until on Saturday he was run down

ing Away.
Mr.. Frye, of Maine, is Senator from
that State. He belongs to school of
disreputable politicians of which Mr..
Blaine is chief. When these men have
not their hands in the ballot-boxes, they
have them deep in the public treasury;
when they are not concocting some
scheme to plumber, they are manufact-
uring some new SANDER.
Frye has certain facility of express
sion which, joined to an utterly ire
sponsible Imagination. makes him a
valuable member of the Maine gang
That State has been so demoralized bv
these constituencies politicians that it
stands as the representative of the most
corrupt and disgraceful methods prac-
ticed in American politics. There they
stop at nothing. Bribery is with them
matter of course; for, according to their
standards, politics is one form of COM
merce, and every man who engages in
it must buy as well as sell.
Blaine is the representative-the
senior member, so to speak-of the
Maine firm: when he makes a trade all
the others are bound by it. When he
sold out bag and baggage to Tom Scott
(see Mulligan letters) the transaction
carried the whole State. When expos
ure came Frye was Blaine's counsel
calling for delay. brow-beating wit
nesses, manufacturing testimony, and
quick and eager to do any dirty work
Maine is rotten borough. In any
other State, even in Pennsylvania, Frye,

have been retired to private life. They
sustain themselves, not by brains, but
by sudacity. The Mulligan letters are

SMELLING BY ELECTmCITY.-Profe
James Warren, of Los Angeles (Cal.) cleo
trio light station, is the inventor of a new
process of reducing ores, which is done by
the aid of electricity. One day, while ex-
aiming piece of gold-bearing quartz, he
accidentally let it fall into one of the
dynamos, which was in motion at the time.
On looking for the piece ofquartz the next
day he found it in the dynamo, and to his
surprise the gold in the quartz had been
melted and had run to oneside of the rock,
forming a beautiful button, Professor
Warren Immediately instituted a series of
experiments and has succeeded in evolv-
ing a process by which gold, silver and
copper can be instantly smelted from con-
centrations by powerful electric shock,
which almost equals in its intensity a
stroke of lightning. The experiments so
far have failed on lead and antimony ores.

in Marseilles, when they were told that a
special friend OF theirs had died the day
previous of cholera At once they became
very nervous, and left the table precipi-
lately, ordered cab and told the driver to
take them to AK, some distance from Mar
settles. When the cab got outside the city
the coachman looked through the window
to ask the address of the place to which
he was to go. He saw one of the girls in
commissions and the other utterly uneon-
scious. In his turn the driver got fright
ened, abandoned the cab and ran about
like mailman. When the police, who
were sent for arrived, and opened the cab
they found one girl dead and the other
dying. A little way up the road they
found the eoaehman lying on his face dead.

The impulse of Il wordless PRAYER,
The dream of love and truth.
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly wo& i'll griefs dark hour,
That proves friend indeed
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh;
The Borrowings of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not n chance to waken love,
Be firm and just ard true;
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high,
