 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Recent drives about the city have revealed much progress in general good taste. A de- cided advance in knowledge of and feeling for color effects is evident from the change of taste and improvement in style of house painting. The once general rule of white lead with green blinds is now happily the exception. Painting side walls, caps, sills, and blinds all one uniform, tiresome, mo- notonous tone was also mistake that form erly prevailed, but one that in these days seldom ofends. A chord in color requires three notes as positively a chord in mu sic. To the color-blind this statement may seem extravagant, and it certainly is unintelligible, but it is not the less true OH that account. Toning house all over in precisely the same shade is disclosure by the owner, in fact an announcement urbi ct orbi of defective color taste and of his un- acquaintance with the pleasure to the eye offered by varied and well contrasted tones in color. As well expect pleasing effect of color from structure thus treated as har- mony in musical tones from sounding soli- tary note on the piano.
 There are to be seen in various parts of the city some excellent effects in shades of olive Sometimes the dark green trimming is a tr1He too green. pefm1ll1On or Otner feu mixed with this green removes the objec- tionable spinach quality and if enough is added changes it to bronze. White added to this bronze mixture makes beautiful cold grey, which can be warmed with red or vel low, or with both, or made colder still with blue and black. From this mixture an ex- eellent color can be made and as light in tone as may be desired especially suitable for piazza balcony floors or ceilings, and which has the advantage of being always in harmony with the olive house tints, though seemingly not made from the same colors. It is evident that here is presented long and useful scale of color, beginning with the deepest bronze and extending with countless variations up to a shade but little removed from pure white The contracting tone for this entire scale, ac- cording to the color laid, is a somewhat purplish red, or real toned and cooled with blue. If the values are preserved, that is, if red is selected about as strong for red as the darkest olive is for green, the effect cannot help being good from the very start ard will continue to please. Color thus correctly constructed will educate the eye to an ever renewed qualification, and, as the power of appreciation grows with practice, to enjoy it keenly and positively. F. W F.

An ExhibitIon of Their Wonderful
 Noses at a Georgia Convict Camp.
 From the Atlanta Constitution.l
 While at Oldtown I saw race between convict and the hounds. It came about in this way:
 MT. Williams claimed, and he was backed by Captain James, that any convict could be selected out of hundred and sent off to circle through the woods, passing through 8 dozen squads of convicts; that m hour later he could put his hounds on that convict's track and they would thread him through the squad of convicts, never be shaken from his individual track, and finally bring him in. I remarked that could understand how the hounds might carry convict's track through crowd of outsiders from some scent of the camp, but not how they could sepa- rate one convict from another.
 ''There may be a hundred convicts," he said, s'clothed precisely alike and wearing precisely the same shoes. They may feed together on precisely the same food and sleep in hunks that touch each other un- der precisely the same cover. And yet

A GERMAN NOTION.


 How to deal with tramps is question country during the last few years. Various experiments have been tried In this State a severe law has been in operation, and it has certainly had the effect of making tramps in Connecticut less conspicuous if not less nu merous. But driving tramps out of one State into another or forcing them to pretend to sell lead pencils, or putting them into the State prison, does not seem to fully answer the requirements of the situation.
 An experiment has been on trial in Ger many for three or four years which merits the earnest and careful attention of all in terested in the tramp problem in this coun- try. Not many years ago several hundred thousand tramps infested Germany and drew from the people many millions annually be- slowed in charity. A clergyman first sug- gested the plan of colonizing these people, and, with the aid of men of wealth, secured tracts of waste or partly cultivated land in Westphalia, where he organized F'work- mems colony" Local committees were every where formed to counsel the withholding of aims and the bestowal of an equivalent sum to the new colonial enterprise. The plan worked we'll, and tramps were compelled to emigrate to the colony in large numbers. There they were washed, provided with clothing and furnished with employment as farm laborers. Gradually in the progress of colonization they found work at their re- spective trades, and many of them became useful members of society. The rest found their way to the warehouses. The Emperor and many influential men of the empire took deep interest in the matter, and at present such colonies are established in all the colo nies and States of Germany.
 This is better than sending tramps to the State prison and better than supporting them in idleness by feeding them and giving them old clothes. By and by perhaps somebody will attack the tramp problem in this coun- try intelligently and wisely. Until then we must try to make them saw a little wood when they feel like it.

MT. KIsCo's GHOsTLY MYSTERY
MRS. HubbeH and Other Spirits Making
Things Lively Ia an Old House.

From the Nep York Tribune.
The little town Of Mt. Kisco, about an
hour aud twenty minutee' ride from New
York on the Harlem Road, is Just now
stepped in mystery. The mystery eman-
ates from the Hubbell mansion, quiet
old house which stands back from the
Albany turnpike in the cool shade Of its
many trees. Certain manifestations Of
the order generally contemporary with
table-tipping and the eXactiOn Of moder.
ate admission fee have taken place there
recently, and the 1000 people who con-
stitute the population of the town are
sitting up o. nights to talk about it.
Friends have investigated the spiritualls-
tic 'thumpl thumpl" and neighb0rs have
listened to the sweep OF ghostly garments,
but no explanation other than the super
natural one has yet been forthcoming
Yesterday morning Miss Lizzie Hubbell,
the only member Of the family living in
the house, locked up her rooms and fled
before the army of wOuld-be investigators.
Whom reporter went up 10 interview
the ghost yesterday he was thus com
PEELED TO talk through the keyhole, but
even when labOring under these disad-
yantages the ghost made a good showing
From the practically unanimous testl-
mOny OF the neighb0rs the following story
vas cleaned: The place was occupied
for many years by George Ilubbell, whose
wife, Mary. survived him, dying a short
time ago at the age Of 81. Since her death
her granddaughter, Miss Lizzie HuDbell,
has retained two or three rooms, but the
rest OF the house has been occupied bY the
family OF the Rex, Or. A. ID. Madeira, Of
the Mount Kisco Presbyterian Church.
One Of old Mrs Hubbells peculiarities
was 10 be always sweeping. aud the Sc
sweeping sounds, say the entirely We
raciOus and respectable neighbOra, are in-
terspered with the humping sounds In
tine rooms formerly occupied by her. As
the reporter stood outside of the locked
door yesterday the mutlled thumps
were heard attinteryals within the
empty room. The sounds are heard
at all times during the afternoon and
evening, IL IS said, but never IN the morn
ing. Any particular number asked for
has never failed TO be given, anu ques-
tlOns regarding the Hubbell family are
promptly answered, while the silence OF
fate ~ maintained ON all other matters.
These things are youched for by Dr. Ma
deira. who has necessarily had them
thrust upon his attention from his Occu-
pancy Of the house, by Or. Teller. Walter
+. Gunaud, Mr. Drumgole, editor OF a
local paper, and others, who without
putting any faith In the popular idea Of
spirituaism are puzzled 90 account for
them. Gilbert Hubbell. who lives in a
hali-desorted house "a little further up the
road, believes that the sounds are caused
by his mother, and that she aud thou.
sand other spirits are having "a conyon-
ton In the cellar. The CrcdulOus neigh
bgrs are going % hire medium" 10 in
