The Grant Cottage at Long Branch.

The Grant cottage stands simple and
unpretcntious, looking like, what it is, a
pleasant summer home, without ostcnta-
ton or glare. II stands amid the two
miles or more of villas, many of which
arc otherwise, that from the west end
line Ocean avenue. From this roadway
the Grant cottage is partly hidden by a
small grove of frs and other shrubbcry,
in the midst Of which are the stables and
lodges. A broad sweep of lawn, set of
by few large vases filled with brilliant
hucd flowers, brings the visitor over a
gravel walk and drive to plain square
structure of wood, with sloping roof,
broken by dormer windows, The build
ing is colorcd in gray and reddish brown,
which harmonic we'll with the soft color
tones of earth, sky and sea. Broad and
graceful piazzas on three sides set off tho
plain building. Tho entrance, which
faces the avenue, is let in deeply, so as to
form another piazza on the hall floor and
deep balcony on the second,
now all brilliant with mass
of radiant flowers. The establishment is
necessarily smaller than in the Generals
lifetime. The stables show this; but
everything is well kept and cared for. A
quickest hedge, thick and well trimmed,
runs with the public walk, and part OF
the way on either side of the grounds,
below which neat wire fence separates
the Grant place from the statclier one of
George w. Child's to the east, and from
a very rich mans residence to the west.
General Grants favorite lounge was on
the side facing the ocean. Within, the
residence is simply yet nicely furnished,
though there are many evidences Of tho
great position filled by him who has
passed away. 1t is an historic family
group that fills it, and around them arc
souvenirs that indicate the unique place
its head occupied in more than national
affairs. A superb portrait Of the General,
draped with the national flag, fills tho
eye. On the floor of hall and salon arc
seen number of superb robes and skins
tigers, lions, panthcrs', etc. trophies
probably of that famous journey around
the world -PhiladcIDhin Times

One of the easiest ways to get rid Of
dirt is not to invite it to come in. Howe
By not having any wooden carpets, espe
cally those that have cotton or linen
back, like Brussels or tapestry carpets.
There being no way for the dust to sift
through on the paper or floor below, it is
constantly flying up when disturbed. A
threc-pl carpet is good thing to catch
The drift, as it gets into the middle ply,
and it is almost impossible to sweep or
beat it out Two ply are easier to keep
clean, but why have any2 What would
you have the bare tloors2 Not just that
i would compromise. Have less car
pets and more rugs, that can be taken up
weekly, put on the line out of doors and
beaten. The cart squares as they are
called, furnish carpet good enough for
most people. They come in good quality,
light or heavy, small or large sizes, SO fit
ting different sized rooms, woven in quite
tasteful colors, with borders and fringcs.
What can be prettier or easier kept clean :
In carpeting floor the first thing
to be considered is the floor itself If
your floor is slightly uneven anywhere,
if there is nothing to prevent, whatever
kind of carpet you have is sure to wear
through on the uneven places first. 1t is
penny wise and pound foolish" to put
hay or stray under carpet because it
cannot be put down evenly; unless it is
fresh it will make your room smell close
and stuffy. Leave the hay in the barn.
The wise woman begins at the founda-
ton by putting down the best carpet
paper she can buy; the tirmer and thicker
the better. The best have found is a
plain, heavy paper that is made on pur,
pose. That with cotton stitched between
soon goes to pieces when cleaned, unless
very carefully handled. This paper is
carefully fitted around door and window
castings to keep out moths, also cold. 1t
covers all inequalities of the boards

comes and the carpet is taken up you will
find most Of the dirt on the raTer, which
can be rolled up and carried out of doors,
and your floor is left clean. - Good House.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A Chair Pillow.

A chair pillow is one of the most COM
Portable as well as ornamental innovations
of the day. The pillow may be made of
any material desired to match furniture
or drapery, but if this is not wished,
Turkish toweling will look well with
anything or in any chair. Make the lin
mg for the pillow of stout cloth or drill,
twenty-four inches long and fifteen wide
ill with curled hair and fasten the ends
securely. Work two strips, four inches
wide and fifteen long of cloth or felt in
my pretty design, and chainstitch them
IN the right side of the pillow, If en-
oroidery is too tedious, cut cretonne
lowers and haste them on the strips, and

Iilk of the same color, button holing the

hear that there is great deal of dirt,
cruelty, misery and Encouragement in
Spanish prisons, writes a correspondent
to the San Francisco UrOnic,e. In every
provincial town there is a prevention
or carcel, under the authority Of the al.
cadc, and in tho hands OF the civil
guards and town police. This stone
building, which you enter by an open
barred gate, against which some prison.
ers are idly leaning smoking their paper
cigarettes, consists of two or three
stonc-1aggod chambers above and the
same number below stairs. Tho
upper chambers are devoted to women,
the lower to men, who await there tho
mandate of the authorizes, which shall
either free or send them to the nearest
prison or c0rccl proper, there to lie herd
cd with host Of malcfactors until their
trials shall be concluded. Tho prison.
crs in these lock-up5 fare badly indeed.
In the summer scorchcd with heat, eaten
by vcrmin in the winter, sleeping with
out either bed or rug on the
cold stones with but one meal q
day of coarse rancho or pottagc, they
pass the time leaning against the bars,
soothing at passcrs-by in the street.
They curse and swear, gamble away their
clothes, and in the intervals between these
pastimes call on God. on heaven and the
Virgin to deliver them. They arc kept
there, it may be few days and it may
be for six or seven years. The CONVERSE
tion is made up Of blasphcmy; the dirt
is appalling, the allotted food wretch
ed. Many are brought to these dcns
merely as suspected accomplices Of some
crime, and they are kept there and thus
hardly treated until they have confessed
all they know. With the women tho
hard treatment otter brings about the de-
sired effect and they confess and bctray
all. With the men, a logging, coupled
with this bad fare and all the rest of it,
often extracts n confession,

DEATH FROM A TRICYCLE..
Rufus II. SticIsney's Body Found by the
Road-His wife Lying Beside Him oil
Unconscious.

About 10 o'clock p. m, August5, a hackman
while driving near the Chestnut Hill reservoir
ne r Boston, discovered on the side OF the
road an overturned tricycle. and theprostrate
forms of man end woman. The man was
dead and the woman inSensible. The haokman
placed both of the persons in his carriage and
drove to the Woodlawn Park Hotel Auburn
dale, where the body of the man was identi-
fed as that of Rufus II. Stickney, and the
unconscious lady was his wife. Both were
guests at the hotel, and great excitement and
grief were created by the melancholy event.
Physicians were summoned, but Mrs. Stick
ney remained unconscious for a long time.
Particulars Of the singular accident arc
meagre 1t seems that the couple were out
riding on tricycle., which was overturned
and that Mr.. Stckney's head struck on
stone, fracturing his skull and causing death.
Just when the accident occurred is not
known. At last accounts Mrs. Stickney had
recovered consciousness, and her grief was
pitiable. The extent of her injuries are I'M
known, although it Is thought her condition
Is not very serious. Mr. Stickney was about
20 years old, and resided in Somerville, Mass.
