The Chinese minister at Washington spends, 1t is said, more money in telegrams and cable dsspatches than the government of the United States. In communicating with the Chinese government he makes use of a cipher, but as his despatohes cost $4 word his bills are enormous. His expenditures in telegraping reach an average of $1 1000 e week. One day recently he spsnt &, 900 in sending despatches to China regarding the Milwaukee riots. His cable messages to China go to Havrs, from there to Alden, then across the Arabian sea, through Hindostan and Siam to Pekin.

It has been discovered lately that great many American women are willing to marry Englishmen. There have been numerous ex- plantations of this willingness, but nothing more ingenious than this, which is said to be the utteranee of an American woman living in England: Let me give an example of a T American family of the well-to-do
 middIe ~.-. It is type of thousands
 which may be seen anywhere in the eastern
 States. There was the father, 8 business
 man, who left home at a. m. during six
 days in the week to return twelve and half
 hours later too tired and weary to dream of
 recreation or amusemunt; there was the
 mother, delicate woman with two children,
 one an infant; the grandmother, vigorous lady of ffty-fve, ard cousin of twenty. The house was entirely self-supporting; there was not @ servant in it. Every contrivance that brains could devise or money provide was there to tighten the later; but the womel were always overworked and never had leis- ure to read or paint or enjoy life in any of the thousand ways that are open to English

How to Select Carpets, coiored Curtains

Whilo II Is not essential that the car

on the furniture. II the furniture is
all Of one color, say crimson. n carpet

colors and patterns In carpet are pre-
ferable 10 the brilliant and snowy.
Very dark carpets are undesirable
from the fact that every speck or

Tapestry brussels carpets. now in

Some persons object 10 furnishing in

variety. Yet parlor was recently

the effect being pleasing. The carpet

curtains were like the damask OF the
chairs. relieved by white lace curtains
The introduction Of white In such cases
Is very desirable. II should be remem-
bered, however, that in employing
various shades OF one color they must
be OF the same family. Indigo blue
and sky blue must not be placed 10
juxtaposition, or blue green and yell
low green. These are only cousins.
and not brothers. Very dark curtains
are undesirable, as they absorb too
much light, and orange, by its inten'
sity. fatigues the eye. Light lemon
and light stone color are suitable fol

persons adopt blue or green. but they
