Thaddeus Rich, the former valet Of
John l.. Sullivan, when that gentleman
was sporting editor Of The Illustrated
News, had five years experience on the
Chicago trains of the New York Central
Il did fairly well with the company
said Thaddeus; II had only S15amonth
salary, but my tips made it up TO about
$50. Imade good many friends. Twas
treated with especial kindness by the
Vanderbilts, Mr.. Armour. of Chicago:
Col. Harker. police commissioner of Gin
cinnati. and don't know how many 9TH
ers. The most liberal traveller ever met
was Mrs. Williams. of Cambridge, Mass.
| mean Mrs. Williams. the sister Of
George Lewis, the Lewis wsnAs celebrat-
ed for giving diamonds sway. This lady
not only tips the porter but tips the driv-
er, the guard. the fireman. the cook, the
waiter, and every servant on the train,
not with paltry nickels or a dollar, but
with s. bills and sometimes tens.
Speaking Of liberal people mustn't
forget TO mention John L. Sullivan. He
never gave me less than IS for backing
his boots on the cars. lie often gave me
more. Especially one morning when he
had jumped on me. You see he wac talk
ing in his sleep and rolling about rest
lessly. went toward him and tried TO
make him comfortable. The moment I
touched him, however. he lsaped up and
we both fell of a heap on the floor, and
with such a racket that everyb body wax
ened up. John L. woke up. too, and was
much Disguised when he surveyed the
circus. as the bedclothes had come with
him from the top berth. gathered my
self together the best way could and
crept to a corner. while John L. got back
into bed and was soon sleeping again. In
the morning when he left the car he
handed me a $50 bill New York

too severely.
Black walnut furniture with simple COW
ering may be used in the room, but mahog-
any or cherry, either natural color or

better.
Too much care cannot be taken in the
mixing and applying of colors to home deco
ration. Raw effects brought about by bad
Judgment in the combination and mixing Of
colors are always trying to the eve, and, it
NAV be said, the temper, as we'll, of the in
mates. For a sensitive eye and mind, es-
pecially in nervous perscn, are readily al
fected by the color in their surroundings.
RestfuI and harmonious coloring is balm
to the mind and senses, perhaps, too, with
out a direct knowledge OF the influence
brought to bear at the time. This is evi-
dent from the fact that the eye, peculiarly
sensitive organ, acts directly upon the mind
without necessarily calling the reasoning
powers into play.
To return, in closing-to the more practi-
cal side ofour subject-the house-the ques-
ton of painting the exterior is one that
needs consideration from the many points
of view. The location has much to do with
this feature of decoration. 1t should not be
too conspicuous an object in the landscape;
paint in such quiet, low tones as the condl-
tions require, but in all cases let your home
become consecutive part OF tie Landscape,

ing six steps in reaching the main floor, so
allowing ample kitchen, and wash-room
space, almost wholly above ground, (Which
is in itself good feature) besides ample
cellar-room-
The framing should be solid and substan-
tial, as the design indicates. All outside
finish, clspboards, excepting gable ends,
which are shingled. The chimneys are
brick, above the base, which, when it shows
on the outside, is o rough stone. The cost
allows for pine finish all through the house
either painted or finished with shellack.
The ball is an exception, and here oak may
be used, and the dado is planned to run in
small panels fully six feet from the floor; no
decoration is allowed for, but the walls are
plastered ready to receive either paper or
paint, as the owner may require.

the greatest care and judgment must be
used in the mixing, else the effect Will be
raw and harsh. This combination should
be in distemper or water color tor soft effect.
The carpet should be dark tone, par

Frightened by yellows and reds.
The draperies for doors and windows, If
used, a deep warm old gold, relieved by
stripes or bands at the bottom of deep
blue. This blue should not be pure, but
what painters call 'tcut" blue.

decided tone of buff will give the necessary
"sunshine" to the scheme; the band next

stantial exterior; plain, simple and
homelike, yet substantial, withal, in
dicating solid comfort rather than
superficial show. Ali colors should be quiet
and low-toned, greeting the eye with soft
harmonies, rather than glaring contrast, as
the latter soon wears on the eve ond nerves,
which brings rest and comfort.
The parlor is not shown here, but few
words may place it clearly before the reader.
This should be as the exterior suggests, SIM
pie and refined in color and outline; the
woodwork is of pine, well-flled and painted
a quiet mahogany color-Venetian red,
little crimson lake and raw umber will
bring about the required result; this, of
course, should be OF oil color, and well
fatted.

ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND CARS.

The Enormous Output of the Frick Coke
Works for the Month of April.
Last month was another large one in the
coke business, the Frick Company turning
out the enormous amount of $4,000 tons.
Thisis equal to about 20, 900 cars. The reports
for the month we're completed yesterday by
the Frick Company. 1t shipped about
500, 900 tons, which placed in cars amounted
to about 10000. The coke was shipped to
Pittsburg and the west and went all over
the country. The amount of coke turned
out by the company was about three-fourths
of the total amount of the whole region.
Averaging 35 cars to each train, it would
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-05-03

require 571 trains to transport it. II
shipped out of the region, via the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, two engines would be neces-
sary to haul each train, and the coke would
require /, 142 engines to move it. If the
cars were placed end to end, IN one solid
train, they would make train 132 miles
long. This would reach from Pittsburg Is
miles beyond Altoona. Divided into days,
1t would make daily train of five miles.
To make this coke it required the enor-
nous amount of 1920, 900 bushes of coal.
1t gave employment during the month to
over 9, 500 men. To produce the coke the
men had to draw 100000 ovens, and to ex-
tinguish the ovens before the coke could be
drawn it required the use of 10000, 900 gal
Ions OF water.
This output has been beaten, and last

dead Of a single day of the year are cast with
consuming qulcklime, to remain undis-
turbed until the same day of the succeeding
year; the huge convent of San MARITIME and
Cathedral of Monreale, built BY William
II, to outrival the greatest religious edfices
of Northern Europe; the Royal Chapel,
with its marvellous mosacs, finished in 1882;
the interesting Saracenic relics of La Cuba

crypts of the convent of the Cappuccini,
where over 5000 bodies are disposed in the
eternal sleep in manner which ought to
tring eternal sleeplessness to the living.
These bodies are practically embalmed, or
mummifed, and many, habited in the cloth
ing of their mortal days, are stood, or fas-
tened or hung in inches in upright DOS

writhe in horrible facial contortions for the
entertainment of the onlooker.
Every possible age, every manner of dress,
every conceivable posture is discernable.
The theory upon which this ghastly show

take healthy American some time to get
used to it; and as our steamer sped toward
