If we take the Mississippi and Missouri to-

a thousand miles long It then becomes the

longer than what We call the Mississippi. TIL,

7 Unique Decoration in Country Home.

= The rich golden color and satin sheen of
corn stalks has brought about their use by a
few daring spirits as a decorative material
in summer homes. They are commended by
light weight and fine natural finish, which
suggests the bamboo cane, and very much
also by being within the rl-ch of almost any
body. a correspondent OF Decorator and
Furnsher tells OF lady who, having tho
courage of her artistic convictions, made a
desolate cottage into a bower of beauty by
decorating it entirely with corn and corn
stalks. a part of the performance was as
follows:
A dado was first arranged, stalks of uni
form thickness were selected and cut the de-
sired lengths and fastened to the wall with
the double tack that is used in putting down
mating. a thin strip of wood heading or
molding, fastened the stalks securely at the
bottom. This particular dado was high
enough to be out Of the reach of the furni-
ture and had a narrow shelf running around
the top, but if this is not desirable or practi-
cable the upper edge may be finished with
selected stalks laid transversely, secured by

The Evening Paners.

FROM an Address by W. r. Gardner before the Wiscou-
SIN Press Association, January "a
Yet, after all a perfectly fair analysis can
suggest on behalf of the morning papers, this
remains true-more true now than ten wears
ago, and to be still truer ten years hence than
now-to wit; That the afternoon paper is fast
becoming the ne1os paper. 1t first announces
most of the worlds great happenings. giving
essential facts. The afternoon issue Is to-davis

issue chronicle of yesterday in the nature OF
things. In the Office work of bare newsgiyine.
the two issues are changing places.
The degree of the change comedies with
the growing rapidity of news communication.
The time between given happening any,
where and its announcement TO the newsuauer
reader has been almost miraculously shortened.
The fact of General Harrisons nomination
for an example, was known on the editorial
floor of the New York Tribune before IL had
reached the ears of the gate-keepers within
the walls of the Chicago auditorium Distance
and time are almost literally annihilated by our
present marvellous system of news-gathering
and delivery.
BY all the improved appliances here barely
indicated the evening paper has been chiefly
the gamer. Its need of time in which 10 do
Its work Is lessened constantly by new facilities
supplied; while its grant of time is heightened
by the magnificent speed of the perfecting

pending the coming of another day with fresh
activities. BY the time the first-class. WE'LL
equipped evening newspaper has ceased its
news-glvlng the world of men has. for the
most part, become quiescent and ceased its
news-making.
But quite the most important advantage pos
sessed by the evening over the morning paper
remains to be stated; Ii is the advantage OF
coming damp from the presses and into the
homes at the one hour in all the twenty-four
when the millions for whom newspapers are
made are ready for its perusal. We are ma
ton OF workers. Our vacations absorb the
allotted work time of each day. Recreation
comes after, not before, the daily-recurring
duty OF bread-winning. And 20 read the daily
paper-that is one of the recreations of the
man who tolls. Naturally he desires that its
coming shall be timed TO the coming of his re-
creation period. And no American is so slow
as heartily to enjoy his first reading of a morn
ing paper at night.

The Pride of an Irish Prince.


We are told of McDermot, known as the
prince of Coolavin, who belonged to one of the
principal Connaught families, that his income
in 1776 barely amounted to f1OO year, yet he
never suffered his children to sit down in his
presence. Lady Morgan adds that his daughter
in-law alone was permitted to eat at his table;
even his wife was not accorded this privilege
as, though well-born. she was not of ROYAL
blood. When Lord Kingsborough, MIR. Pom
sonby, Mr.. O'Hara, Mr.. Sanford and others,
all men of position, came to see him he only

about the change in the size of the hat. and

ever, besides the fact about the method of

wear their hair closely cropped nowadays,

people wore bushy hair and hat that always
left its mark on the locks. Furthermore, En-
glish hats run in larger sizes. A go hat Of
