ATTRACTIVE ROOMS.

In furnishing our rooms, we, as a
general thing, 60 at it in hap-haz-
ard way. and the result is not always
as satisfactory as we would like. We
90 to a store and look over the car
pets, and select one that looks pref
ty. We 60 to the dealer in wall pa
per. and, without a thought of the
carpet it is to 60 with, we select
pleasing pattern. When the paper
is on, and the carpet down, they may
harmonlze, and they may not. You
will see a great many rooms in the
houses of your neighbors that leave
an unpleasant impression on you, and
if you seek the cause of this, you
will generally find it Is on account of
lack of harmony. A woman wearing
conflicting colors never appears we'll
dressed, though her attire may have
cost great deal of money, while an
other woman, wearing far less ex-
pensive, but tastefully chosen mate
rials, will have an air of elegance.
1t is the same with rooms. The room
is not made attractive because of ex-
pensive furniture, but because taste
las been brought into exercise.
We do not sufficiently study effects.
Before furnishing room we ought
to know precisely the effects we de-
sire to produce, and then study how
to produce them. Ii we have no def
mite plan, we cannot work intelli-
gently. In buying carpets and paper,
and other things to go into one room,
never select each Independently of
the other, but always consider how
they will harmonize. Let one gene
raj idea Of color and design run thro'
all. This gives unity of effect, and
the result will be highly pleasing.
Remember that carpet is not bought
to be admired for the beauty of its
pattern merely, but because it is a
sort of background for the room, and

An Anecdote ofRobert Toombs.

In General Longstreet's account of
His: March against Pope" in the Cen
tsta'y War Series, in the February num-
Der, occurs the following: General
Toombs. our Georgia fre-eater, was
given to criticising pretty severely all
the officers of the regular army who had
joined their fortunes with those of the
Confederacy. He was hot-blooded and
impatient, and chafed at the delays of
the commanders in their preparations
for battle. His general idea was that
the troops went out to fight, and he
thought they should be allowed to 90 at
it at once. An incident that occurred
in the second Manassas campaign will
serve to illustrate his characteristic hot
headedness. AS we were preparing to
cross the Rapidan, Stuart sent me word
that he had cut off large cavalry force
and had all the fords guarded except
one. He asked that detail force to
guard that point of escape. The work
was assigned to the command under
General Toombs, who was absent at the
time. He had met kindred spirit in
the person of wealthy Virginian named
Morton, whom he had known in Con-
gress, and was out dining with him.
They were both good livers and loved to
have their friends with them. In going
back to his command General Toombs
came upon his troops on the road and
inquired what they were doing there.
The explanation was made. Toombs
had had good dinner and felt inde-
pendent. He said he would give the
general to understand that he must con-
suit him before sending his troops out
to guard ford, and thereupon ordered
them back TO camp. As the mystified
troops marched solemnly back, the mat
ter was reported to me and l ordered
Toombs under arrest. | allowed him
to ride with his command as we marched
against Pope and expected that he would
make some explanation of his conduct.
He did not do so, and the next | heard
of him he was stopping along the route
making stump speeches to the troops
and referring in anything but compli-
mentary terms to the commander OF
his division. sent him back to Cor
donsville, with instructions to confine
himself to the limits of that town in
arrest until further orders. He obeyed
the command and went to Gordonsville.
Just as I was leaving the Rappahan-
mock l received a long letter OF apology
from him, and directed him to join his
command. AS we were preparing for
the charge at Manassas, Toombs got
there. He was riding rapidly, with his
hat in his hand, and was much enthused.
was just sending courier to his COM
mand with dispatch.
''Let me carry it, he explained.
"'With pleasure, l responded, and
handed him the paper.
'He put spurs to his horse and dashed
off, accompanied by courier. When
he rode up and took command of his
brigade there was wild enthusiasm, and
everything being ready, an exultant
shout was sent up, and the men sprang
to the charge. never had any more
trouble with Toombs. We were ever

select it becaus of its appropriateness
for that purpose. A wallpaper may
be very pretty, in the place, but upon
the wall the effect may be intensely
dlsagreeable. Always bear in mind
that it is for background to the
pictures and ornaments you hang
upon your walls, and let it be of such
a color as not to destroy this idea.
If the color and the pattern is very
decided, the walls will always assert
a greater claim to attention than the
pictures. There should always be
beauty in carpets and paper, but it
should be of that quiet, subdued sort
that does not make them of primary
Importance when the room is occu-
pied. They should always be second
ary. The pictures, the flowers, and
various other things of ornament
should stand out in relief against
ther1, and this they cannot do unless
the color and design of the coverings S
for the floor and walls are less bright
and self-assertive than themselves.
A room tastefully furnished, always
produces much the same impression
as a picture in harmonious colors,
and we should study more than we
do to make pictures of our rooms.

WISE WORDS.

Hold on to what you have rather
than to reach for what you cannot
get.
There is nothing SO much prevents
us from being easy as the desire of
appearing so.
Wealth legitilnately acquired is
valuable, and is only valuable when
thus acquired.
We are often in the most slippery
places when we think our foothold
the frmest.
Manners are what vex or soothe,
corrupt or purify, exalt or debase,
barbarize or refine us.
Covetous ambition, thinking all too
little of which it presently hath. sup
poseth itself to stand IN need of all
which it hath not.
There is little pleasure in the world
that is true and sincere beside the
pleasure of doing our duty and doing
good. l am sure no other is compar-
able to this.
A dull man is so near dead man
that he is hardly to be ranked in the
list of the living; and as he is not to
be buried whilst he is half alive, so
he is as little to be employed while he
is half dead.
The heart is the key of the world,
and of life. We often live helpless
amidst the most dreary circumstances
in this world that we may love others
and minister to their happiness.
Through their very imperfections we
are often more capable of influencing
others, and this strange influence ex-
pounds the riddle of our existence.

THE ROoT OF FVICE.-Bad thoughts
eat into the man. And when the
process has gone on for awhile, and
there comes the stress of an outward
temptation, down they go into a
mass of ruins. Ships 60 out to sea
all bright with fresh paint, their sails
all flying, and never reach port.
Why? They met a storm and went
down, because they were rotten.
Under the paint was decay. just SO
bad thoughts, vile impure thoughts
and imaginations rot the manly oak
of character, slacken all the stays of
virtue, and leave the man or the wo-
man TO the violence of temptation,
with no interior of reserve power to
withstand the shock. Bad thoughts
are the bottom vice of society.
1t was drell reply that rose to the
lips of the Confederate soldier who
was caught III persimmon tree by
General Longstreet. When sternly
asked by his commander what he was
doing there, the veteran at once dis
armed his superior's wrath by saying
s'l'm eatln' some green persim-
mons to draw my stomach up so it'll
fit its rations."

STOPPED THE SMOKING.

An army officer tells this story of
Gen. Hancock and his love for digni-
ty and discipline:
He was in command of the train
which brought Grants remains from
Mount McGregor to New York. Gen.
Hancock and his staff were in the
coach next to the last. In the rear
car was a party of Pennsylvania mi
litia officers, who were popping an
occasional bottle of champagne and
smoking quite sociably Gen. Han
cock saw from his car what was GO
ing on in the rear. 1t did not COM
port with his ideas of the proprieties
of SO solemn an occasion, and calling
the conductor, he said:
Will you please present my COM
pliments to those gentlemen, with
the request that they cease smoking?

HAD A DEAD ARM.

The other day we'll known De-
troit doctor was eating lunch in a
restaurant along side of business
man, when the latter remarked:
| just saw case to interest you
in the cigar store. There is man
there who has no feeling at all in his
right arm.
Case of paralysis, of course, re-
piled the doctor.
Oh, no, it isn't. He has been ex-
amined by some of the most eminent
surgeons and they declare it isn't.
If it was a case of paralysis he could
not move his arm you know.
How long has it been so?
Over twenty years he tells me. He
says he'll pay any doctor $4,000 to
restore the natural feeling.
I'll see him, remarked the doctor,
and when dinner was over the two
went into the cigar store, and the
medical man was introduced.
Did this thing happen all at once ?
asked the doctor.
Yes sir; there was no warning
whatever.
Does the arm feel dead?
Perfectly dead. You can stick
your knife into it without my feeling
sensation.
That's odd. Let me feel Of 1t.
The doctor put out his hand, made
one grip, and then turned on his heel
and left the place, his face, as red as
paint and his gait somewhat eccen-
trio.
1t was wooden arm. The real
one was shot off at Gettysburg.

JAPAN LIFE IN A BOAT.

In Poland some families are born
and die in salt mines, without ever
living above ground, and in Japan
some are born and die the same way
on boats, without ever living on
shore.
zone of the most interesting feat
ures of japanese life to me" says
recent traveller there, ''was the man.
ner of living in boats and junks,
thousands of which frequent every
bay along the coast. The awkward
junks always belong to the members
of one family, and usually every
family, old and young, live on board.
The smaller sallboats are made
like narrow fat-boat, and the sail
(they never have but one) is placed
very near the stern, and extends
from the mast shout the same dis
tance in either direction, that is, the
mast runs in the middle of the sail
when it IS spread.
In these little boats men are born
and die, without ever having an abid-
ing-place on shore. Women and all
are nearly naked, except in rains,
when they put on layers of fringy
straw mats, which gives them the ap-
pearance of being thatched. AT
night, if in harbor, they bend poles
over the boat from side to side, in
the shape of bow, and cover them
with this straw, water-tight straw,
and 20 to sleep all together, like a
lot of pigs.
A child three years old can swim
like fish; and often children who
will not learn of their own accord,
are repeatedly thrown overheard until
they become expert swimmers. In
the harbors children seem to be per
petually tumbling overheard, but the
mothers deliberately pick them out of
the water, and cutting them a little,
90 on with their work. 1t is really
astonishing at what age these boys
and girls will learn to scull boat.
| have seen a boat twenty feet
long, most adroitly managed by three
children, all under seven years of
age. | am told that notwithstand-
ing their aptness at swimming many
boatmen get drowned, for no boat
ever goes to another's aid, nor will
any boatman save another from
drowning, because, as he says, it is
all fate, and he who interferes with
fate will be severely punished in
some way. Besides this, the saving
of boatman's life only keeps chat
ing soul so much longer in pulgatory
when it ought to be released by the
death of the sailor which the gods, by
fate, seem TO have selected for the
purpose"

Lawless Mexicans who interfere
with the railroads take their lives in
their hands, and are very certain 10
lose them. In the early days of the
Mexican Central road passenger
train was attacked, and the assaulting
party was speedily shot. A party
of bandits lately stopped a freight
train at San Francisco station in the
state of Guanajuato and helped them
selves to some of its contents. The
state authorities took action toward
securing the robbers, and the offend
ers will be shot on sight. The acting
governor reported the facts to Presi-
dent Diaz, who has ordered an unre-
lenting pursuit by the government
cavalry.

WHERE THE NEWSPAPER
GOES.

You enter one of the simple coun-
try houses of New England, at some
distance, it may be, from any rail-
road station or busy manufacturing
center. 1t is lonely looking place,
for the children of the house have
grown up and gone away, and the
farmer and his wife are growing old.
The routine of their lives is narrow,
and they 60 through it day by day,
as if nothing in the world were quite
so important as that. You fancy
that this elderly couple will be found
sojourning still in the Middle Ages.
But look about you my friend, and
you will see, that once or twice a
week it brings to these persons It'd
ings from the ends of the earth. You
will find, that they have more time to
read, and to keep the run of affairs
than you in your busy city life, and
when you sit down to talk with them,
you will learn that they are not fos-
sils, but we'll informed, and perhaps
cultivated people. They know some-
thing not only about agriculture, but
about manufactures, science and art,
about social life in other countries.
And so while they linger beneath the
old moss-covered roof, they are shut
in by the line fences of their farm, or
by the bounds of their town: their
view embraces the great wide world
of humanity. And the window
through which they look, or rather
the mirror in which they see it all re-
fected, is the newspaper.

FACTS ABOUT THE EYE.

There is no cure for color blindness.
The first case of color blindness was
reported in 1777.
Color blindness is due to exhaustion
of nerve fibers.
Four out of every 100 males and
one in every 400 feMales are color
blind.
1t is no sign man is color because
he cannot name every color.
The eye of an insect contains from
fifty to 10000 small eyes. 1t is really
composed of eyes.
We do not need TO see certain OBJ
jects. A sharp blow on the eyes often
causes man to ''see stars
The writer saw a man who was CO.
lor blind take 100 colors and divide
them in four groups, black, yellow,
white, and blue.
1t is nonsense to believe there is
any particular way to rub the eyes. 1t
makes no diffel ence whether you move
from or towards the nose or up or
down.
The cat, horse and birds have a
third eyelid, which is used to protect
the eye from too much light. Man
has third eyelid in the corner of the
eye which is undeveloped.
The defects of the eye are numer-
Gus, but we are pretty well satisfied
with it. Every one has blind spot
in his eye. This is proved by shutting
one eye and looking at an object.
We cannot see it fully.
The use of the eye cups to change
the form of the eye in hopes of bet
tering the sight is ridiculous. They
draw the eye out of shape and
often cause blindness. Thousands
of these cups are sold every year.

Forget and Forgive.

Forget! for why remember
The wrongs of yesterday?
Perchance kind words were spoken
To heal the breach to-day;
Then let the past forever be
A blank leaf in thy memory.
Forget the old years failings,
The new will have its share;
Each one will find that haply
He hath enough to bear
Without the memory of the wrong
That to the old year does belong.
"Let by cones be by-gones," for why
Should thoughts that gender strife
Be nourished in our bosom
That but embitter life,
And fill this world that else were fair,
With scenes of sorrow, strife and care?
Forgive! for why should we withhold
The blessings that we need,
Or let an erring brother
In VAIN for mercy plead?
o cold must be the heart and rare
That could reject his suppliant prayer.
Forgive let old affections
Be stirred within the heart,
Producing kindly feelings
That light and warmth impart.
And make our onward course less sad
By making home e-fresides more glad.
Forgive! for Times swift pinions
Are bearing us along,
And few may be our moments
To do or suffer wrong.
Then let us, while the power is given,
Forgive as we would be forgiven.

Only A Box.

Only box secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long,
Lying here in the drizzling rain,
Waiting to take the up bound train.
Only its owner just inside,
Cold and livid, and glassy-eyed;
Little to him if the train be late;
Nothing has he to do but wait.
Only an open grave somewhere,
Ready to close when he gets there;
Turfs and grasses, and flowers sweet,
Ready to press him meath their feet.
Only band of friends at home,
Waiting to see the traveller come;
Naught he will tell of distant lands;
He cannot even press their hands.
He has no stories, weird and bright;
He has no gifts for child's delight;
He did not come with anything;
He had not even himself to bring.
Yet they will softly him await,
And he will move about in state;
They will give him when he appears
Love and pity and tender tears
Only box, secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long;
Angels guide that soulless breast
Into long and peaceful rest.
