furnishing; oddity may suggest additional
expense to many, but that need not neces-
sarilv imply, for little care in hunting
through a we'll stocked furniture establish
ment cannot but disclose many odd pieces
above the average in design and moderate in
price.
The hallway does not allow of much fur
nishing, the space being we'll occupied, as
will be seen by glance at the plan. The
woodwork may be OF oak, the grain slightly
filled with ammonia to give it the pecul ar
antique finish, and, if allowable, the floor Of
the same wood, but unstsined and well filled
and rubbed to high polish.
The oak dado should be finished in small
square panels, and at least eight feet from the
floor to cap molding. The general color of
the vail space may be rich Pompeian red,
not too dark and lined off at the bottom
above the dado cap with four or five one
five inch line of the same color few inches
below the cornice will flush with good effect;
this line or band should be finished on either
side with gold bronze.
The ceiling should be in distemper or
water colors, a soft rich old gold, with lines
and quaint corner and center piece OF soft
peacock blue and gold. The upper hall
should be carried out in the same telling but
simple as regards ornament. On the floor
of the hall, place large rug with liberal
margin OF wood work showing on all sides.
There should be a balance of deep peacock
blue in the coloring, all colors being low in
tone.

We must mend our ways. Clearly that is
the first obligation of American civilization.
National pride must have something to say
in the matter. The sneer of Goldwin Smith
was that while America surpassed all other
lands in terrible roads, Cornell University
must be approached through the selected
worst in America. Our content to let these
horrors remain must be broken in upon.
Here is good chance for nationalism. Why
does it not prove its ability to manage ma

For furniture the choice lies between two
woods, either to match exactly the cherry fin
ish of the room in style and tone, or perhaps
what would be better yet, dark old oak
would give brightness by its pleasing con-
trast, and many good as well as odd dining
room pieces may be found in this popular
finish in the stores. Stylish and handsome
sideboards from $40 upward, chairs really
handsome and we'll made from 81 upward,
and a handsome solid dining table, ten-foot
extension, may be bought in this wood Tor
$40. A small serving table to the right of
the kitchen door, in the corner will be
found convenient, the sideboard of course
occupying the large space to the right of the
door.

MIDDLETowN, N. Y, May Ernest
Uler, prisoner in the Jail here awaiting
the action of the grand jury on a charge of
bigamy in marrying Jennie Grifis, OF this
city, on June 80 last in New York, was the
cause OF considerable commotion among the
Jail officials last night. Uler had wife
still living when he married Miss Grifis.
Jennie, accompanied by two men, one a
cousin, obtained permission from Police
Captain Gould to visit the prisoner. Jennie,
who was heavily veiled, remained in the
cell, while the others took their departure,
and with them Uler, clad in Jennie's ap-
parel.
An officer on a round of inspection an
hour later discovered Jennie in male attire.
She and Uler had exchanged clothes, and
the latter had passed out of the prison un-
recognized. The woman's companions were
soon captured, and together with herself are
held Tor conspiracy. Uler was arrested this
afternoon at Unionville.

DOMESTIC SERVANTS.
How Vienna Housekeepers Manage TO Keep
aRecord of Their Help.

How Vienna Housekeepers Manage TO Keep
Record of Their Help.
Referring to the domestic service system
prevailing in Germany under which the
mistress has to fill in statement for the use
of the police with information on sundry
points. "Vienna Hansfrau" saws: ''I should
like to say some words on the efficiency of
this system. The police, when it registers
the girls dismissal from the old and accept
ance of the new place in her servants
book copies the character given BY the last
mistress into the book. This character has
to contain the three words 'tren,
fleissig, sittsam'-that is, honest, in
dustrious and well-conducted. The
mistress, in writing the girls char
acter, may leave out any of these three
words if She finds cause, but she would
rather write half dozen more lies than take
the consequences of her truthfulness The
day after she has dismissed a servant with
character into which she had not the
heart to write one of the three excellent
qualities above quoted, she receives a sum-
mons to the police station, where she has to
swear on the crucif1 that the girl is either
not honest, industrious, or virtuous. She is
subjected to cross-questionlng, her word is
doubted, and If the girl insists with her con-
Trajectory statements, the visits to the police
are repeated over and over again.
"Mistresses in Vienna, therefore, know very
we'll that three words do not guarantee good
behavior, and resort to other means of pro-
tecting themselves against the invasion of
bad girls. In looking through the servants
books we can ascertain whether they have
served long in one place, and generally
when the changes have been from five to six
in wear, the book is returned in silence,
and the girl withdraws with an impertinent
bow, knowing, though not a word is spoken,
what the objection is. When. the book is
satisfactory, the next thing to do is to go to
one OF the girls last places. Though the
former mistress has not spoken out in the
character, she will rarely refuse to speak
out face to face"

On the whole the improvement of our
roads is more important than tariff or party;
1t involves the comfort, pleasure and pros
perity of every person in the land. II we
will but look at it, our civilization is not
tested by the miles of land over which we
scatter our houses and villages, but by the
ease Of access to each home and the free
passage OF productions to market. No ma
tion has seen more wisely than ours in the
matter OF iron roads; but we have made the
mistake of conceiving the railroad to be of
the chief importance and the highway of
Insignificant import. The railroad is only
the supplement of true road system. The
farmer to-day is losing five times as much
by the wretchedness o. the dirt road
as be possibly can by the arrogance
of the steam road. And it is his
