The ''SIoulIn Rouge"

A new place Of entertainment for Pari-
slams, called the Moulin Rouge" has
been opened at Montmartre, and it is
needless to say that the "variety shows"
which are there exhibited nocturnally
would have short shrift at the hands of
the gentlemen who grant Emusic and
dancing licenses" in London. The artistes
who perform have borrowed largely
from the Spanish and Egyptian dancen
of the exhibition, and the "Red Wind.
mill" on the whole, bids fair to be a
favorite resort during the winter. The
building, by the way, is the most origi-
nal of the constructions which have
graced the Bohemian or artistic part Of
Montmartre for many day.
Over the entrance is a real windmill,
while round this is a corridor with i'm.
mense Gothic windows, which gives the
place q semi-cathetlral look. In the CEN
ter of all is a garden, which at night
glimmers with Chinese lanterns. The
name adopted by the proprietors of the
new trysting place of noceurs is histor-
ical, for there was of old a famous
Moulin Rouge" in the Champs Elysees,
at the corner of the Avenue d'Antin and
tho Rue Jean Goujon. Under the en-
pire the place was restaurant which
eclipsed those of Laurent and Ledoyen-
then in their infancy-and was the sum-
mer evening rendezvous of host of
political, literary, artistic and fashion.
able celebrities The "Moulin Rouge
of Montmartre cannot boast of many Sc
lect frequenters, but it will be patronized
promiscuously, and will serve to en-.
tighten lugubrious part of Paris which
borders on a metropolis. Stand.

THE LIBRARY AND HALL.
Interesting Description OF Two Artistic
Rooms.

Interesting Description OF Two Artistic
Rooms.
The idea of describing the following sketch
for a library, says Robert Hall in Decorator
and Furnisher, was suggested by the fact
that there is constantly growing demand
for good work which shall not necessarily be
expensive. Also, that the demand in many
cases does not create the right supply. Cheap
work often runs too much to ornament,
bursting into an over abundance Of decora-
ton, making up in quantity for what it lacks
in quality.
The little sketch presented may be used in
q very expensive manner, or it may be quite
as effective if executed on a more simple
scale. This idea might be carried out in
almost any medium sized house, either city
or country. The woodwork, which is SO
often very large item when people desire
artistic work, may in this case be made to
cost but little. The floor is hard wood, the
mantel, bookcase, ceiling beams, ETC., should
all be alike, and almost any wood that one
may fancy could be used, as there is no
carving
Between these beams the ceiling is Of mod
eled plaster, and almost any shade of brown
ecru, or two shades of brown would answer
for tinting the same; and here it may be well
to say that there is more than one way of
coloring plaster, though there is only one way

NJ. Henri Pieper, Of Liege, has just in
vented new incandescent lamp of very
simple construction. 1t consists of two
horizontal rods of copper, placed about
four millimeters apart. A thin pointed
rod of carbon, placed vertically, rests on
the copper rods and forms bridge be-
tween them. The current passes be-
tween the copper rods through the car
bon, which it renders incandescent. The
copper rods are mounted on springs,
which cause them to rise slightly when
the carbon is totally consumed, and
bring them against two contact pieces,
thus preventing the rupture of the cir
cuit.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A Talking Pensioner,

A man down in Colerain township,
Lancaster county, lost his pension a
short time ago in way that he thought
for time was rather mysterious, but he
now understands. Three or four years
ago he was allowed a pension for total
disability, and he received the sum of
81 500, which he claimed to be due him.
After that he received S14 month.
About two months ago the pensioner,
who makes posts and rails and sets
fence, was at work near his home, when
we'll dressed and pleasant looking
stranger came by and engaged him in
conversation. AS the pensioner hewed
the posts, the new conner began talking
about that kind of work, and asked him
how much he could do in a week. The
pensioner, who is inclined to brag about
himself, said that he could make more
posts and set more fence in day than
any other man in the neighborhood.
The stranger soon went away, and since
that time the countryman has not re-
ceived pension. He has since learned
that the stranger was detective in the
employ of the government, who had
been sent there to find out whether he
was as badly disabled as he claimed to
be.--Reading (Pa.) Times.
