The San Francisco papers complain
that Mr.. Crane, the actor, is no gentle
man. He played 10 magnificent audiences
everywhere ON the Pacific coast, but now
he has gone back TO New York and is
abusing San Francisco like a pickpocket,
finding particular fault with its climate,
which. he says, changes violently four
times a day. Should Mr.. Crane ever visit
San Francisco again, however,h he is likely
TO find Il uniformly cool.

grammatic and forceful illusions to
his bargain counter. There IL Senator
Quay, whose features would form a
highly appropriate adornment to the
thousand dollar certificate, being SYM
bolic of vast Doodle and unlimited
jack-pOts. Nor should Mr.. Window
neglect on any account to reserve n
of the larger denominations for a full
length flgur of Tom Reed in the
quorum act, flannel shirt, silken sash,
yellow shoes and all. The five-dollar
certificate might appropriately be de-
voted to Colonel Dudley, below whose
portrait should be appended a few
choice excerpts from his able treatise
on the numeral five as applied TO blocks
and block heads. And il Mr.. Window
can possibly ave n of his nine OPP
portsnities for the exclusive behoof of
Representative Carter, the honor would
be gratefully appreciated by the West.
Mr.. Carter should be represented as
standing in a me itative attitude and
a cloak room. A page i'm the act of
conveying a tip from the speaker to
the representative might also be en-
braced in the picture with propriety
and grace. Again Colonel Sanders
with both feet planted on the tunnel
precinct would be an entertaining and
suggestive design. With such an
abundance of material at hand, Mr..
Window should have no difficulty in
making the nine certificates as artistic
and attractive as a series of circus
bills.

Two pretty frocks for the Marquis Of Chol-

regret to say that the colorings in all these
goods which now come from the Orient are
deteriorating. Up to about nine years ago,
the colors that were used were native colors,
but as the demand increased it stimulated
investment of English capital and the
erection of British factory enterprises, both
in India, Turkey and Persia. Then English
dyes were used, and many of the goods
which now come to this country are in very
perishable colors. Some OF the cotton por-
there's fade like a dish-cloth, and it is always
well to insist upon it that the colors are
guaranteed.
Beware of the philanthropic dealer, the
man or woman who represents that their
goods are gathered by the Association OF
Oriental Philanthropists" or the Society
for the Elevation of the Unfortunate Turk.

The idea is to supply in this sort Of thing,

house uptown and from the moment 1
entered there was a dullness about the es-
tablishment which was absolutely depress-
ing. Everything was in good taste, but un-
mistakably quiet. The occupants had
made an evident struggle for quiet effect,
and had gone too far. There was something
wanting. AS remedy suggested that at
the head of the stairway huge big jardi-
Mere of glorious cardinal hue be put. It
was done and this one bright flash of color
ing relieved the whole aspect. So these sofa
cushions here and there throughout the
house will have this same effect. They will

OUT OF THE OLD RUT.
The old-time way of draping curtain
back by the means Of little metal chains or
cords and tassels or silk ribbons, has become
monotonous to the eye. An excellent way
of doing it now is by attaching fiat metal
lie plate or ribbon bow or rosette appliqued
on to your curtain about three or four feet
from the ground and foot or SO from the
inner edge. To this, attach your draDery
cord, both back and front OF the curtain,
and then draw the curtain back and slightly
upward. The effect is strikingly odd and
certainly different from the old-time ways.
There is nothing which gives quicker
impression of comfort and elegance than an
over-doorway mantel with a simple railing
around it and huge plaque or two or three
pieces of pottery surmounting it. A curtain
or portiere can then be suspended from the
bottom. This makes a vast difference In a
room, for doorway top is generally much
neglected feature. In corner in the hall
way this can be done in the same way, and
if it is sufficiently dark to conceal the de-
ception, would suggest that instead Of
wood fretwork you would use some Of the
stamped paper that is produced at trifing
cost, and which has every appearance of
wood, being perforated and serrated in close
imitation.
Extreme taste now pales at white and
gold furniture and the French styles, and
demands Chippendale and Sheraton desks,
chairs and sofas. With the less critical the
French styles, Louis XIV, XIV. and Louis
XVI. are still the rage c. r. CLIFFORD.

mes the fertile inventor with a water
cooler that does away with the risk of con-
taminating drinking water with impure ice,
and fairly challenges the admiration of the
biological professor himself; and could any,
thing be simpler or nicer? The cut-glass
pitcher, with silver trimmings, is of shape
not easy to upset. Inside is the tightly
stoppered cylinder for cracked ice, made re-
movable to insure perfect cleanliness. This
last point is of prime importance in water
pitchers of all kinds, and is quite too often
overlooked. Germs are found in greater or
less numbers in all water, and whether
actual disease-producing bacteria or not,
they are better out of the system than in.
They increase rapidly in water that is al
lowed to stand; hence it is easy to see that
hygiene demands that water pitchers should
be faithfully cleansed each time they are
emptied.

1t was not many years ago when folks at
this time of the year put away their home
decorations, barred their walls, stripped their
floors and awaited fly time and the dog days
in deserted. desolate quarters. This is all
changed now, and the summer furnishings
are decidedly important factor with the
trade and people. To be sure woolen stuffs
are usually packed away, but there are lots
of pretty things made In cottons and silk
and cotton; and with screens at the windows
and doors those dainty furnishings can be
kept harmless from flies.
A few years ago bead portieres were nov
elites, and sold for $40 and S15 apiece.
They hung in strings with the beads ar
ranged in such colors as to form charming
designs. To-day you can buy them for 81,
and excellent substitutes in bamboo strips
for as little as 81 so; in summer, doors are
taken down from all rooms, except the bed
rooms, and these cheap and artistic por-
there's from Japan and China are hung in
stead. Then, again, some beautiful door
way and window portieres for summer are
made of knotted cord. Not exactly like the
macrame work that was 80 popular some
years ago, but heavier, the size Of
clothes line, tied or knotted into
fretwork shapes for top piece
and then hung in pendant ends, knotted
here and there, so as to form designs. All
these lengths of cord hang straight from the
little decorative rope fretwork at the top,
which is frequently stifened by glue and
painted white and gold or some 'other
shades; the rope pendants, however, should
be as fabby as possible. The knots which
are tied to give decorative appearance here
and there may be gilded or painted, and
with taste some charming effects are thus
produced.

HOW PERFUMES ARE MADE.
DistIIlntion, Fermentation and Even Boiling
In Lard Resorted TO.

In Lard Resorted 10.
Pail Mall Budget1
Those dainty, delicate perfumes which the
superfne and the vulgar alike enjoy, are
obtained in q very prosaic way. They are
produced in land where the flowers are
perennial. In distillation the flowers are
boiled in an Theoretically sealed copper YES
sci. The steam as it condenses in its passage
through a spiral coil exudes the volatile
essence drop by drop, and it is collected in q
small glass vessel. The water in the copper
retains q small portion of the scent and be-
comes the rose water or orange-hower water
of trade. All flowers are not susceptible of
this treatment, and those that are produce
but minute quantity. the orange flower,
for instance, giving but one-thousandth
part. The volatile essences thus obtained,
combined and mixed together with certain
quantity of alcohol, are used in the prepara-
ton and as the basis of eau de Cologne,
toilet vinegar, lavender water, etc.
The perfume from flowers which do not
contain the volatile essence is extracted by
two processes. In the first or cold process,
cassie, jessamine, jonquils tuberoses, violets,
and some other flowers, freshly gathered,
are placed upon layer of pure lard, a
quarter of an inch in thickness, spread over
glass trays. The flowers are changed every
IL, Is or "a hours, according to circum-
stances, until the lard is sufficiently charged
with perfume. Jessamine and tuberose are
changed as often as 30 times, and the other
flowers from 20 to 80 times.
When the hot process is resorted to grease
is placed in a copper vessel, together with
the flowers, and the compound is boiled.
Additional flowers are added from time to
time until the fat has absorbed the requisite
amount of perfume. By another process
the perfumes are extracted from the fats, and
by blending these with the different essences,
tSa numerous scents are obtained. Certain
neriumes which are of great use in the
manufacture OF scents can only be obtained
by the fermentation of fruits, flowers, and
roots
