CoIoring in Furnishing.

In furnishing, the matter of coloring
is a point that should be carefully stud
led. A confusion of colors will spoil
any room, and this holds good even to
the smallest appointment and decora-
ton. A chair covering or even a
cushion can prove almost as complete
a Disagreement as a carpet which does
not accord with the paper, curtains or
wood work
Colors possess character, and that or
the most divers sorts Some hueS sug-
gest warmth and cheer, while others
breathe OF GOODNESS and repose. Blue,
gray, drab and fawn are the proper
colors for sunny chambers, while red,
pink and buff belong to north rooms or
any into which the light comes IN a
stinted way. Even gloomyiplaces can
be made cheerful by employing right
colors, especially when there can be
added an open fire with a bright brass
| fender.
There is one rule in furnishing which
people OF moderate means ought
ALWAYS to obey. vet they are usually
the least inclined to carry 1t into prac-
| tice. This rule Is, not to be hampered
| by the fashion OF the moment or afraid
| of making ones room look unlike those
| OF ones friends
The fact that several ladies in one:
narrow visiting circle possesses csr-
tain style OF carpets, chairs, tables
ETC., ought to prove good reason fo
buying articles entirely different II
shape or color. Furniture not SO prett,
Is far preferable TO having ones house
so like that of the right and lert-han'

An Imaginative Youth.

The power of imagination is aptly
illustrated by an incident which re-
Gently occurred in Washington a
well known society lady, accompanied
by her little son. visited the panorama
of the battle of Bull Run. The child
seemed perfectly infatuated with the
scenes spread before him, and 1t was
with difficulty that his mother nnally
persuaded him to leave All the way
home he remained unusually silent,
making no comment whatever upon
the panorama from which he had found
1t so difficult to part. When supper
was served the little fellow took his
sear at the table, but refused to partake
of the meal. Finally ia response to his
mothers anxious solicitations to the
cause of his lack Of appetite, be sud
denly slipped down from his chair
exclaIming: ITO tell the truth,

WHEN the startling tidings from
Samoa OF the loss OF three American
and three German warships In
cyclone, with multitude Of their
officers and men. hrst came 10 US over
the wires, there was every reason To
hope that the story would prove TO be
As false as was the former story or the
blowing up or the NIpsic by German
guuboat. AL the probabilities seemed
strongly on that side. 1t seemed increu-
ible that experienced naval othcers,
equipped with bsrometers, had allowed
themselves to be caught In unsafe
waters by q storm, especially In region
known to be subject to violent atnos-
pherIc disturbances a storm does
not come without warning TO men
accustomed to observe and equipped
with instruments Of observation Even
on the stage a storm Is not preclpi-
tated without a preliminary turning
down OF the lights. and at sea naval
officers are accustomed to observe
every change in the barometer WIFE
re and with eyes trained to detec'
the significance OF every change. And
as warships, placed as these were, keei
steam in their boilers and are prepared
to slip their cables at any moment,
was scarcely TO be believed that haif

OId-Time Gambling.

In the old, old times, says the Minnie
apolis Tribune, everybody prominent In
public life was fond of cards wash
ington was flooded in those days with
gamblers of the professional sort.
There were dozen faro banks on the
avenue within sight OF Gadsby's, on
the corner of Sixth street. Membsrs
of Congress unbesltatingly entered
these places. Sergeant Smith Prentlss
was said to have lost $780, in his
first term in Congress.
1t was IN one OF these places that
Henry Clay won from Count Brodisco
the corner lot up near Lafayette square,
which he afterward traded for an
Andalusion Jack ass. Fox, the British
Minister, General Scott, Secretary
Marcy and a score of famous mel
played poker in those times.
President Tyler was fond of Loo, y
and often made up game at the White
House and played all day. The stakes
were never large, but Mr.. Tyler was
| lust as happy as If he won his thou
sands, At one time General Scott,
| Henry Clay, Mr.. Fox and Count Bro
disco entered into compact TO PLAY
/ whist once a week all winter, and the
/ stake every night was 800.
They played a matched game. Scot
/ and the old Russian against Clay an
/ the Englishman. They were evenl.
matched, but Clay and Fox came on
ten games ahead. SCOTS loss was saIJ
to be as much as Sl.200 In his littl
| social amusement. Old Thad. Steven
| in later days was famous man a
cards. He didn't hesitate to go int
the worst gambling resorts to get hi
sport. He played with frigid quie
and coolness, and in the course of In
play kept up constant fire Of brlliiau
conversation. Probably there are nc
twenty-five men now IN Congress VIII
are at all given to card playing.

IT seems that the copper syndicate
did not make last year as profitable for
the Boston companies as might have
been expected considering the high
price at which copper ruled. The
eight companies paid dividends
amounting TO S4,l2O,OOo, but late in
the year, when the collapse OF the syn
dicate became certain, there WAS q
q { I. ue In the market value OF the
shares amounting to SO, ,2l4,050. Th'
effect of the syndicate's operations or
the business OF mining copper will NJ
doubt continue TO be felt until th'
syndicate stock Is largely reduced.

THE business failures for the quarter
lust ended are much larger in number
than those during the same period last
year, 1869 against S053. The liabill-
ties did not increase in proportion with
the number of failures and the assets
are about so per cent OF liabilities,
During the last four weeks the number
OF failures has fallen off as compared
with year ago. Considering what
the country has gone through In the

has been so little disturbance among

the erection of the Lake Street Elevated

adjacent to the rolling mill have been Sc

A portion of the mill has been used for

assured of the efficient aid and CO. operation
of the citizens of Reading in establishing

The rebuilt Reading silk mill will start

BANCROFT, the Pacific coast historian,
has published an impartial and very
thorough history of Utah which shows
conclnsively the folly of the policy of re-
preston under which they have gathered
their proselyies almost altogether from
foreign lands, taking only tho most ignor-
ant people. accustomed to blind submis-
sion to authority. The superintendent of
Castle Garden said few days ngo that
Mormon converts are now coming In Mt
the rate Of from one TO three hundred a
week. ''rhey are of the lowest and most
ignorant classes, and arc absolutely under
the control of the proselyting elders who
accompany them. This makes it almost
impossible to find grounds for OBTAINING
them or returning them. The elders, of
course, know the ropes. For instance, one
of the greatest complaints against this class
from our standpoint is the number of chill
dren who are brought over with no other
guardians than the elders. Fully 60 per
cent. of the immigrants are children under
l6. We retui ned about twenty from one
party for this reason. Since then 1t has
been impossible to find similar case. All
the children are claimed by adults of the
party, and while some of them are noto-
riously bogus claims, we have no recourse.
When they are forced to lay over night,
they form close camp in the Garden, and
post sentinels on all sides. None Of them
are allowed to leave. The sentinols are re-
lieved every two hours The majority of
the Mormon immigrants arriving here are
Scandinavians, although there are some
Germans and a few English"

THE last census showed the annual death
rate of this country to average eighteen to
the thousand. Colonel q. f. Waring, a
noted sanitarian, insists that this rate could
be very easily reduced one-tbird, or TO
twelve TO the thousand. He believes that
by neglect of very simple sanitary meas
ures we lose thousand lives a day, and IL
he is only half right the fatality from
neglect of simple laws of health would
equal about eighteen Johnstown disasters
in the course Of year. This mortality is
40 widely distributed over the land that it
does not shock or alarm people and Provi-
dence has to shoulder the responsibility for
many deaths that are clearly traceable to u
neglect Of sanitary laws. Good drainage,
cleanliness, pure air and water would save
many lives, but there are many places
where these things are very little thought
of and even In Lancaster our councilmen
are alarmed at the tri1ing expense of a
board Of health and prefer 10 get along
without one.
