A Hint for Christmas.

Those wise virgins who keep their
lamps trimmed against the important
day are already busy with their fancy
work for Christmas, and their latest ma
terial is art cord or couching silk, as some
call it. This is an unusually heavy cord
that is used on everything-tidies for
chair and sofa, squares for the tops of
tables, large and small, coverings for
cushions everywhere. 1t has the twofold
advantage of being showily effective and
filling up fast. One of the novelties of
the season on which this art cord is used
is round cushion. The cushion is filled
with the best elder down and covered
with unbleached Or yellow linen, stamped
with design for Roman embroidery.
The edges are joined by q full putting of
China silk of some bright color. Around
the edges of the cushion are sewn, at
intervals, small brass rings, over which
is crocheted wash twist. Through these
rings is drawn the art cord of a bright
gold color, after the manner of lacer,
backward and forward, and is then tied
in little bow with tasseled ends. The
idea is new and will doubtless take for
that very reason.-Buffalo News.

His Ears An Right.

Everybody who travels on the Pitts
burg division Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road knows Conductor John Dinges.
He is one of the greatest jokers in the
service, and when not punching tickets
is busy telling stories or perpetrating
joke. Conductor Dinges' ears are his
torical. They are remarkable, not for
their size, but for their wonderful pill
ability. His favorite trick is to double
up his ears and then stuff them far into
the orifce. This makes them look as if
they had been mashed with crowbar.
The other night, while the train was
speeding along toward Altoona at the
rate of fifty-five miles an hour, Dinges
doubled his ears and passed through the
fourth car. Nearly all the passengers
were ladies. They regarded Dinges with
amazement The conductors face wore
look of superb inconsistencies. One
old lady with iron-gray curls and pug
nose could not take her eyes from the
ears. When Dinges passed through the
car again her curiosity was so great that
she could not resist the temptation to
stop him.
whats the matter with your ears,
CONDUCTOR" she asked.
Nothing" he replied, innocently, as he
elevated his eyebrows, and the ears flew
back to their normal position.
The old lady nearly fainted.-Phila-
delphia North American.

The Discovery of America.

A special from Albany tells of dis
covery made by Professor Mulvil Dewey,
director of the New York state library,
while visiting the national library of
France. He went into the manuscript
department, and there saw fine look
ing man, with white mustache, with his
nose in a yellow and musty manuscript
As he approached, the man raised his
head and disclosed his identity. He was
none other than Gen. Daniel Butterfeld
The manuscript in which he was inter-
ested was one of st. Breuden, a notable
abbot in the Sixth century. The Latin
manuscript, which was poorly written,
seemed to relate to the discovery of
America. Gen. Butterfield told Profess
sor Dewey that he had discovered the
manuscript by accident, about three
weeks previously, and had become so in
terested in it that he would remain until
he completed reading it. "He had pored
over it so long," said Professor Dewey,
"that he could read it faster than I
could. must give him credit for that.
There is some discussion now over the
story that party of abbots discovered
America long before Christopher Column
bus did, and it would seem strange at
this time, when we are talking about the
four hundredth anniversary celebration,
if Gen. Butterfeld were to discover evil
dence which bore out the facts. ."-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

A Genuine Hoodoo Cure.

If there was any one in Macon who
had no faith in Hoodoos and charms a
few weeks ago, that person was Chief
Kenan. But at last all unbelievers are
brought around, and it appears this is
the case with the doughty chief. Some
days ago he was suffering considerable
with neuralgia. After trying every rem.
edy under the sun, he at last came upon
a friend who had receipt, which he was
not caring particularly to reveal to the
chief, but, seeing the official in deep
trouble, he finally consented toapply the
remedy. Securing a spool of black silk
thread, he cut off several bits. One he
tied around the neck of the chief, another
around his waist, another down the back
connecting the one from the neck with
that around the waist, and fourth down
his breast, connecting in the same way
the two hands. This completed the out
fit. When the operation was finished,
the chief, with an incredulous SMILE
asked what came next. "Oh, you will
talk different in few minutes" replied
the friend, with shake of the head. In
a minute the official felt strange SEN
sation in his face, and within five minutes
all pain had left him. To say that he
was amazed would be putting it mildly.
He has already given the cure to dozen
of sufferers, and now he is at work solv-
ing the problem Of how he was cured.
AS yet he has found no one who can give
the cause for it.-Macon (Ga.) Telegraph

To marry pretty girl and make Chi

chased out of the White House by the

Inever saw anything to equal the
way that old house is overrun with ver-
min. Rats can he heard scampering
through the halls in the night. They
invade every room. They ate up
small picture of President Lincoln hang
ing OH the wall of the cabinet room.
They stole into the Presidents bed
room one night. Mr.. Harrison likes to
eat fruit the last thing at night, and he
had fallen asleep with banana in his
hand. The rats pulled the banana from
his hand and scampered away. Fact,
sir. Why, used to invite my friends
to the house and spend an afternoon
killing the rats. 1t was great sport.
When I felt the ratcatcher was at work
with his ferrets. He got twenty-eight
rats in the garret alone. Mrs. Harrison
stood by and saw them caught and it
was funny to hear her scream just like
other women wheh a rat got near her.
Next after the rats are the cockroach-
es. They are big, brown fellows with
long legs. They are most as big as rats.
Fact, sir. never saw such before or so

A Memorial of the Russian Invasion.

Hunichen, the deaf and dumb land
scape painter, whose death from an acci-
dent is just announced from Wittenberg,
was walking memorial of the horrors
of the Russian invasion of Germany in
1918. He was born in Birkenbush, vii
lage about two hours journey from Wit
tenberg. One day, during the Russian
bombardment of the town, the villagers
all left their homes to watch the firing
from the heights, and Frau Hunichen,
with her infant, was left alone in her
cottage. Suddenly there appeared at the
door two brutal Cossacks who asked for
money. The young mother tremblingly
told them she had none, whereupon they
seized her and her child, bound them
together, and fogged them with their
knouts until they were both insensible.
On the return of the villagers they were
restored to consciousness by medical aid,
but, as result of the injuries he had re-
ceived, Hunichen remained deaf. and
dumb until the end of his days. His
death was, indeed, direct consequence
of the maltreatment he had received
seventy-six years ago, inasmuch as he
was run over by wagon, the approach
of which he was unable to hear. Huni-
chen was very capable painter, and
was much patronized by the German
imperial family.-New York Tribune.

THE LIBRARY.

recognized as the right way. The nodded
plaster that is to be colored should first have
q coat of oil color in the lightest shade that
is to be used, the next shade of the darkest
tint, so that when the lights are required the
second coloring is simply rubbed off, leaving
the lights exposed. The effect gained IN this
way is in every particular to be preferred to
the method by which the shadows are laid in,
and the high lights painted over By this lat
ter treatment the effect is heavy and the de-
sign often almost hidden.
One might substitute fresco work instead
of modelled plaster, and the expense would be
considerably lessened, while the room Though
the plaster work is much richer) would be
almost as effective.
The walls are supposed to be covered with
FURNISHED leather. This is more expensive
than ordinary leather, as it necessitates the
use of that part of the skin or surface upon
which the hair grows, not only as matter
of superior veining, but it is the only part Of
the hide that will receive the necessary gloss.
The design is stamped upon tie leather and
outlined with oxidized nails. These are very
much better than the bright brass nails for
this purpose. In place of the FURNISHED
leather burlap may be used, treated in ex-
actly the same manner as the leather. This
is comparatively a cheap wall covering, is
quite as artistic as the leather, and is also
much more desirable in simply furnished
house than the leather, which requires more
luxurious surroundings. The bookcases are
simple, straight and low, with absolutely no
carving of any sort.
This simplicity is noticeable in almost all
the really beautiful homes in New York, and
people are realizing more and more how soon
the eye tires of gew-gaws and filigree work
It soon passes out Of style and becomes an
abominaton, while the plain but handsome
is never tiresome, because it is the extreme Of
no one style and cannot become old fashioned

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1889-11-21

The hall Of Mr.. Pierrepont Morgans house
is a fair example of good design combined
with simplicity. The entrance is particularly
unique. Like many large New York houses
the entrance is upon the side street, with the
hall running at right angles to the entrance.
Passing through the vestibule one steps into
q sort Of ante-hall, which is few steps below
the main hall; from this ente-hall, which is
divided from the main hall by carved rail-
ing, over which are thrown old embroideries
and rugs, there is an unbroken view of the
beautiful mantel and fireplace Of the large
hall, the entrance to which is gained by as
cending few steps to the right of the ante
hall. This ante-hall is not only effective, but
also very useful, as it is furnished with hall
bench, and serves as an excellent place for
those on business, or messenger boys to wait.
Italso gives the house most hospitable look,
as the first glimpse shows the great recessed
mantel, under which is the roaring wood fire
that is always burning there during the sea
son.
