IN THE HALL.
Hints As TO the Construction and Interior
Decorations.


Decorations.
The functions Of the hall Of a comfortable
residence are TO afford access 10 the different
parts Of the house, and it may be considered
the main conduit in the general system Of
apartments, large enough to contain the
staircase, passages and furniture, etc.
1t is not possible TO say very much in praise
Of the hall in city houses; it is usually mar
row and rather dark passage to the stairway
usually devoid OF ornamentation or decora-
tion. 1t is q matter OF necessity that the
stairs should be central, and the proportion
Of risers and treads and the lengths of each
fight are TO certain extent dictated to us
by their intended use, and leave little chance
Of variation or Of altered modes Of construc-
ton. Where possible the stairs should be
thrown back through an arcade or bay, so as
to give pleasant background and to pro-
vide as large an inner area as possible for
light and air. All such recessed treatment
would give greater depth and add size and
dignity to the principal feature Of q good
house.
II we would be genial hosts we should
have our greetings echoed by appropriate
surroundings. a
The spirit Of welcome may be made to per-
wade the apartment in which we live If we
but know how to express ourselves in the

Probably no one. thing has caused
such a general revival Of trade at l.
Leist's drug store as their giving away
to their customers of so many free trial
bottles of DR.. Kings New Discovery

ly enormous in this very valuable ar

II an open fireplace is included in the con-
trast it should be broadly treated We can
rely only on the surface and color of its ma

The hearth may be of pressed brick, or

In removing the bank near the north
end of their lumber yard at Brewster's
Neck, on the Thames river, three miles
south of Norwich, Conn, the other day,
the Dawley Bros. uncovered ruin that
is believed to be the remains of an old
fort of revolutionary days. The ruins
cover about an eighth of an acre of
ground, and the thick walls are as high
as mans head. 1t is thought the fort
was erected in the revolution, at the
time Decaturs little feet was blockaded
by the English in the Thames, in order
to prevent the British war vessels which
lay off New London from coming up the
river to Norwich. %ss

"If the President wants to appoint

anger a great Republican Senator who
was distinguished statesman before
Benjamin Harrison was ever heard of

Georgia pine. In laying floors in patterns
1t is well to choose woods which will not form
too strong contrasts, such as oak ndmaple,
oak and yellow pine, mahogany and cherry,
etc. Georgia pine, being the cheapest wood,
may be used in largest quantities, with few
bands of oak or cherry about the walls for
border, which seems to be q necessity, even
though the same wood Is used. The color of
the pine is bright yellow, and serves as a
good background for rugs; but If too strong
for the scheme of color adopted, it can be
stained darker.

Cirar. That Come from Cuba.

sIt may lie surprising to an Ameri-
can," said recent visitor to Cuba, "but
the best Havana cigars do not come to
the United States. They go to Germany
and England. The United States mill
ionaires may think they are smoking the
best cigars Cuba can produce, but they
are not. In one factory visited l saw
the cigars made for Prince Bismarck, the
late German chancellor. They were large
and black looking, but were of the finest
tobacco grown on the island, and cost
twenty five cents each in Cuba; and l
also saw the cigars made for the Prince
OF Wales and various other English
noblemen.
Foreigners of wealth have their cigars
made to order and named to suit them.
/ do not know of one rich American who
does So Our government has a peculiar
law regarding importations which pre-
vented our bringing up some good cigars
other than what l could carry in my
hand. This is that not less than 5000
cigars can be imported. If it were not
for this law every one who wanted cigars
could just write down to Cuba and tell
his cigar man to send him hundred or
two by mail. Napoleon III used to get
the pick of the finest leaf in the Vuelta
Abajo district"

about the distribution of patents through.
out the country. Tho Yankee states"
he said, shave lost the lead in inventions.
They were at the head of the list for
many years, but now they are about one
third of the way down, although a large
number of patents are each week issued
to them. Ohio now leads the Union in
patents. She runs from fifty-five to
ninety each week. But New England
may have something to do with that.
You see, Ohio was largely settled by peo-
pie from New England. It may be that
the western descendant OF the Yankee is
but taking the lead in invention which
for 30 many years belonged to his fore
fathers.
Next to Ohio is Illinois. Then coucs
New York, but she buys most of the in
ventions for which she receives patents
from other states. The northwest is
picking up, for Michigan follows New
York. The territories are also doing a
good deal in the patent line. To the
southern states very few patents are Is
sued. Louisiana heads the list, with
Georgia as second. 1t is very rarely that
a patent is issued to either Virginia, Ala
bama or the two Carolinas. Kentucky
gets fairly good number Of them. The
character Of the patents issued for the
several states conforms in the main to the
character Of the industries Of the states.

Ancient Roman Stoves.

A heating apparatus called a "stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the higher
classes of Romans as far back as the be-
ginning of the Christian era. The stuba
was fixed and immovable, besides being
in several other respects wholly unlike
the stove with which we are SO we'll ac-
quainted. In Germany and in Scandi-
navia they were much used in bathrooms
and hot houses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed Of bricks
or tiles, and were Of immense size, some-
times large enough to cover the whole
side of 20 or 80 foot room, often ex-
tending into the room 10 or 10 feet, in
which case the smooth, fiat top was
used instead of bedstead, the heated
surface imparting an agreeable warmth
in the nights when covers were quite
rare.-St. Louis Republic.

offices in Ashburton place, Boston, are
the finest in the city, and there he may
be found early and late when not in

yers of Boston. he has large practice in
New York, Washington and Chicago,
where he has copartnership offices. His

PECULIAR iNFATUATiON.
Different Methods Of Following the In
junction Love One Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each

Do men ever fall in love with each
other?
Women do. Not long ago a young
woman in New Jersey was married to a
youthful laborcr on her fathers farm.
Some time afterward it was discovered
that the husband was female; the
young wife refused, however, though
earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort. The stran-
gest part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was q
woman before she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange in
fatuation for one of their own sex, they,
at least, oftentimes, give evidence OF the
fact that they love one another. There
are many instances on record where one
man has given his life for another.
There are many more instances where
men have given lie to another.
1t is proud possesson-the knowledge
that one has saved precious human life.
Meriden, Conn, is the homo OF such q
happy man. John III. Preston, of that city,
July IL, 1890. writes: "Five years ago l

peculiar ways sometimes; but the true
