Postmaster General Wanamaker doesn't
 "When I was appointed" said the Postmas-
 ter General, 1T was impressed with the idea that penny postage was very desirable, and I came into the department predisposed in its favor. In fact, I thought it ought to be established at once. But when I learned of the poor condition of the service one-cent postage receded into the dim distance.
 When l discovered that there are many places in this country which receive a mail but once a week, and that not always regu- larly, it seemed to me that what was needed most by all concerned was frequent and reg ular service from the post office department. Postage in this country is as low as that of any country in the world, for penny postage in England is really two-cent postage in our money. For the present prefer to conduct the business of the department on the prin- ciple of the sleeping car companies. not to reduce the rate but to improve the service"

AN ARTISTIC ROOM.
How a Lady Transformed It Into
 Coxy Retreat.

C0ZT ketfe0Gs Bare, square rooms without cozy nook are painfully common in the country. A writer in Decorator and Furnisher tells how she transformed such 8 room into the coziest re- treat possible, and one that is within the financial reach of any one who has the plain room and will to do.
 Within my main room I put corner shelves in the northwest corner, leaving space for a couch beneath them; shelves above all the doors and windows. The top corner shelf (which was deeper than those beneath it) and all these shelves furnished with g railing made of spools about three inches apart and supported by reglet stick finished with wooden button mold, through all of which l drove a nail that held them firmly in place. In the upper part of windows and door had grill frames, made ot moulding, fitted. The grills I made of thin strips of wood woven together and fastened to the frames. The mantel decided the color of the wood work, which I was sorry to have black wal nut. I made hot dye with brown diamond dye to match it in color, and rubbed all the woodwork and the floor with it. The wood- work I finished with oil, the floor with bees wax and turpentine, and both were satisfao tory. could find no suitable paper at the
 
 cheapest brown backed wall paper and put it on wrong side out. putting glue in the paste to insure it's sticking.
 The frieze was of lighter brown, almost cream. This decorated by laying pressed ferns, grasses and leaves on the paper in such manner that they appeared to be growing naturally from the bottom when the frieze was in place. 1 then resorted to the very inartistic spatter work ,long since confined to outer darkness by modern art workers. Here diamond dye and bronze powder again served my purpose-light blue at the top shading gradually into darker, and then bronze at the bottom. Here and there l painted butterfly in bronze, and touched up my work with bronze, grasses, etc. A narrow moulding at the top and wider wall finish; the ceiling had tinted light cream color.
 My carpet was brown, with a little pea cock blue running through it. Of this I made large square rug, leaving margin of polished floor two feet wide all around it. At the windows hung long sash curtains of cheese cloth. From the lower edge of the grill short curtains of pongee, embroidered with leaves in brown; tassels of brown crewels.
 The portieres are all of dull blue serge, embroidered in bold designs, each different, of dogwood, woodbine and varicolored branches of maple and chestnus.
 The couch beneath the corner shelves is an old haircloth sofa, draped with an embroid- cred blue army blanket, and half concealed by long curtains falling from pole attached to the upper shelf. Luxurious cushions, filled with odorous leaves, covered with blue denim, over which are drawn work covers, makes this corner cosy one.

MUSICAL SAND.


 The Existence of This Phenomenon
 Has Recently Been Discovered In
 England.
 From the Newcastle Cronicle.1
 The existence of the phenomenon of nau- sioal sand has recently been discovered as Studland Bay, Dorsetshire, and reported up- on by Mr. Carus-Wilson, F. G. S., to the Bournemouth Society of Natural Science, Studland Bay musical sand is composed chiefly of quartz grains, more or less round- ed, and to some extent polished, but many are angular. At various points between the Ferry and Studland there are patches of sounding sand which have been separated from the finer grains both by wind and wave action. When the foot Is drawn over the surface these sands give out musical mote. In walking over it in the ordinary manner 8 tineling sensation is felt, as of vibrations communicated to the body. Some of the layers are more musical when the surface is rubbed than when it is struck. The coars- est grains are found to emit the deepest note. This musical sand is to be distin- puished from the bedded sands, which in the same locality are simply sonorous and not musical, as also from the rock known as phonoline or ''clinkstone" In ''singing beach" the musical notes are produced by the friction of the separate grains, and not as in the phonolites from the solid rock.
 It may be remembered that about thirty five years ago Hugh Miller drew attention to his discovery of musical sand at the Bay of Laig, in the romantic Isle of Eigg. Hugh Miller described the Eigg musical sand as be- ing derived from the disintegration of the beds of Oolitic sandstone. To the ordinary observer, musical sand presents the same ap- pearance any other white sand, the musi- cal and the mute being frequently indistin- guishable when placed side by side on the sea beach; but under the microscope it is seen that the grains of the musical sand have had their angles rubbed off by natural attrition, their surfaces having become beau- tifully polished; that they are more or less uniform in size, and that, unlike other sands, they are perfectly clean and free from fine particles or any coating of adherent substan- ces which would produce the friction and consequently the sounds.
