An English decorator makes the

AN English decorator makes the fol
lowing suggestion in regard to wal
papers: II think it would be a grea
advantage and a novelty to print all Tho
papers 20 hang horizontal, as well a
the borders. 1t requires q very Soof
care and precision to get the filling
paper perfectly upright, and if the first
length hung at the beginning of long
wall, say twenty feet, should be the
least out of a perpendicular, scarcely
visible under the plumb-line, it would
make difference easily descernibie at
the other end. In a set pattern espe
cially it is necessary to hang the border
all around the room to certain mark
or pattern in the filling paper. The
plan 1 adopt besides hanging the filling
paper perfectly upright is to draw a
horizontal line round the room about
two feet down from the cornice in or
der that might prove the uprightness
of the filling by getting certain mark
on the pattern in the line throughout as
well as matching on the vertical edge.
By hanging the filling paper horizon
tally, accuracy may be obtained in an
easier and more perfect manner. In
designing filling paper for the purpose
it. perhaps, may be found necessary to
give a different character to that which
is hung vertically"

Perhaps no more striking illustration
of the wonderful reproductive powers
of certain insects could be given than
that contained in a new work by Theo-
dcre Wood, an English entomologist.
1t is assumed, first, that LOCO aphides
weigh no more than single grain /; and
secondly that only very stout man
can weigh as much as two million
grains. Then it Is found that if multi
plIcation were entirely unchecked, the
tenth brood alone of a single aphis
would be equivalent in point of actual
matter to more than five millions of
very stout men.

Recent experiments confirm the opin-
ion of sanitary authorities that while
natural soil is an excellent filter for i'm
pure air, that may pass through it, it is
a poor filter for infected water. Mr..
Raphael Pumpelly, of tie National
Board of Health, finds that sand inter-
poses absolutely no barrier between
wells and infection with germs from
cess pools, cemeteries, etc., lying even
at great distances IN the lower wet
stratum of sand and that it is pos
sible that a dry gravel, or possibly a
dry. coarse sand is no obstacle to the
entrance into houses above of these
organisms, which swarm In the ground
air around leaky drains.

TIE BREEDING HoG.-In the breed
ing animal of whatever kind, the diges-
tive organs should be paramount con-
sideration, for without digestion the
animal cannot successfully accomplish
the uses for which he is intended. In
the hog this is of the utmost Importance.
In addition to this, if the animal posses
seS the following characteristics, as con-
densed from the endorsement of the
National Swine-Breeders' Association,
the ideal standard will have been Sc
cured: "Such a hog must have small,
short head, heavy jowl, and thick, short
neck; ear small, thin, and tolerably
erect, but it is not Objectionable if it
droops slightly forward. He must be
straight on the bottom, from the neck
back to flank, let well down to the knee
on the brisket, and possess good length
from head to tail; back broad and
slightly curved, or arched from the
shoulder to the setting of the tail; ribs
rather barrel-shaped; tail small. The
hams should lie long from the back to
the letting off at the loin, and be broad
and full; shoulders not so large, and yet
sufficient to give symmetry to the
animal; hair smooth and evenly set on;
skin soft and elastic to the touch; legs
short. fine, and set under the body, and
the space between wide. Then good
depth between the bottom and top of
carcass will give an ideal hog.

and this will necessitate doing this work
the first pleasant day, as buds will begin
to swell on almost all kinds of trees now
within short time. Much more graft
ing can be done to advantage on farms
where there are young, thrifty trees
which bear inferior fruit. Such trees
are of no account whatever as they now
are, and it will not pay to dig them up
and put new trees in their places, when

one can do this with a few trials and

To make a very handsome and snowy

gee, about two yards If very wide goods,
and four yards If of single width; have
the center stamped in some kind of
floral design. For this goods small
flowers are much more to the purpose
than large ones. Before beginning the
work it is best to lay the pongee in a
frame, that is, baste the part to be
worked in wooden frame of light con-
struction; by so doing the material
will not be drawn out of shape when
the design is wrought. A pattern for
this fashion of table-cover would be
pretty composed of mixed asters, a
plant of varied beauty; one species has
the petals tube shape, another has the
leaves gracefully incurved; the colors
are blood-red, blue, lilac and snow
white; the crown species has the centre
of the flower clear white, with petals
richly varlegated: the tints are violet,
carmine and blue. For the border
nothing can be prettier than the bal
loon vine, the leaves of which are dense
ly clustered. almost concealing the
dainty little blossoms.
