Pretty Arrangement OF Bay Window

Some one of the new ways of trimming
bay windows are very pretty, and pleas
ing relief from the old-fasbioned formal
lace curtains. Thin silk curtains are hung
at the window, and looped back, but they
do not hang right to the floor, only coming
about q foot below the windOwframe.
Across the top of the bay = transom is
fixed, about foot deep; this is filled either
with a wooden lattice or with colored glass
Moorish or Japanese fret-work is sold by
the foo, for transOms or screens, but the
colored glass, which is extremely artistic,
can be arranged at a small cost by an in
genious woman.
About two inches below the glass brass
rod is fixed from which curtains are hung.
The light shows 80 prettily through the
stained glass, and it gives a handsome fin-
i'h TO the room. A bay window, arranged
like this, makes a cosy noox when q low
seat is run around it. 4 sort of divan, fitting
into the shape of the window. 1t should
have a mattress cushion on top. edged with
a frill. and 4 valance falling to the ground
The covering might be of an artistic chintz
Such seat, when made in the form of q
locker, is a good place for the storage of
loose books and pamphlets, which are apt
to accumulate very untidily in living room.

Facts About Oats

Good oats are clean, hard. dry. sweet,
heavy, plump, full of -four, and rattle like
shot, says an exchange. They have q clean
and almost metallic luster. Each ost in .
we'll grown sample is nearly of the same
size. There are but few small or imper-
feet grains. The hard pressure Of the nail
on an oat should leave little or no mark.
The kernel. when pressed between
the teeth, should clip rather than
tear; the skin should be thin. The
size Of the kernel will be less
in proportion than the skin 10 thick The
color Of the oat 10 not very material. but
white oats are generally thinner in the skin
than black. Again, black oats will grow
on inferior soils. Short plump oats are
preferable to large, long grains. Bearded
oats must have an excess Of husk. Osts
are not necessarily bad because they are
thin-skinned or bearded, but they must
contain less amount Of hour per bushel
than thin-sknned oats without beards.

The movement to prevent unnaturailzed
citizens from voting was begun, not for the
purpose Of carrying the election to-day but
to test an important decision of the United
States district court of the State, touching
the right to vote Of men alleged to have been
nsturslized in our municipal court. Sim
ply this and nothing more. The process by
which they proposed to do this was to chal-
lenge the right of these men to vote at the
polls. and if they persisted in voting, to
make sufficient arrests in each Of the wards
to make up case for the higher courts.

In one section il manifests this spirit in one
