Lace curtains are of the utmost signifi-
canoe in interior decoration. Should the cur
tains be too long, as IS usually the case, and
not too expensive. it is better to cut them
off, allowing about a quarter of award for
the hem and shrinking; but when too valu-
able to cut, the surplus can be left at the
bottom and the curtains caught up into fan
shaped piaits To do this take the lower
back corner up to the tassel hook and gather
the curtain into plaits.
Time was, only short while ago, when a
man III furnishing room had the choice OF
ebony. cherry, black walnut or brass cur
tain poles, and one or the other had to do.
To-day, however, the wooden pole is stained
to match the woodwork or the furniture Of
room, and a brass pole is only used in
cases where the furniture is brass. or where
there is a general prevalence OF brass fur-
nishngs.
Lace curtains are seldom used now alone
as window treatment but are combined
with some soft-toned light silk festooned at
the top and down the side a little to break
the harshress of the plain white color.

ever considered as part of the site is to many
a great puzzle. Several of the National
Commissioners are concerned ab0utthe build
ings now mentioned for that place. How
ever no trouble should be borrowed on that
account as the fair proper will be placed at
Jackson and Washington parks, and the
agricultural and livestock show will have
all the advantage of being placed alongside
of the greatest attractions.
Herewith is presented picture of the
Chicago Columbus Tower, of which mention
was made In recent letter. 1t will be COM
pleted in 1893, and will be 1900 feet high by
$50 feet at the base, constructed Of steel and
iron, and supported by sixteen great arched
legs. The architecture is of modern ltenais-
sance style, and it was designed by Messrs.
Kinkel & Polk of Chicago. 1t will require
over 1000 tons OF steel and 60O0 tons of iron.
Its estimated cost is 100000 In the Gen.
ter will be large dome 200 feet wide and
200 feet high. This is calculated for con-

capacity of $4,000 people. The walls and
canopy will be richly decorated in Oriental

fifty people ca h, will make twelve trips an
hour Only two elevators will run a dis
lance of 1850 feet. Many will take ad-
vantage of the trip. Here money will Sc

At the landing will be a large restaurant,
where the travellers can rest and lunch be-

will be a great globe of SO feet in diameter,
provided with 16 powerful electric lights,
which will be observable fifty miles dis

cents to 400 feet and 81 to top. When com
pleted it will be 800 feet higher than the
Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the greatest
architectural construction erected in the
history of man. 1t will be the pi ide of the
American continent and one of the most at

Said one of the best-known furniture
dealers the other day, a man who does only
the very highest class of trade: =" The craze
for the antique is dead. Of course there
are people who are judges and admire old

woman who buys old stuff merely to give
her house an air of age and sOlidity is done
with it, simply because she has been sub
jerted to many embarrassmentS and annoy

We heard woman of social RANK say to
dealer recently: "Mr Y, wish to get rid
where near what paid for it. You see it
is so exasperating for me to answer ques-
tions, and people will ask questions, If only
to show a polite interest in my treasures.
They say: What magnificent cabinet!
Is 1t an heirloom?' and when reply in the
negative they lift their eyebrows and say
'Oh!' in such tantalizing way. Then,
again, some folks, with that breezy ingenu.

say: What do you hare this old piece for

On other occasions the presence of an old

occupied by competitive drills.
The committee appointed by the National
Congress to investigate the condition of
Worlds Fair matters are at present in the
city performing their task. AS yet they re-
fuse to express any opinion, but apparently
are very well satisfied.
AT present the city Is full of strangers
gaining information to enable them to at
once begin preparations for the fair. The
officials are constantly interviewed. The
decisions Of the present week are anxiously
awaited.
For the first time since the proposal OF the
Columbian Exposition the true character
and object Of the enterprise is beginning to
be fully understood. From its first concep-
ton the pr0mulgatols of the scheme meant
1t TO be IN the broadcast sense of the term
worlds exposition. in which all nations of
the earth should equally participate, and as
far as possible become equally interested
1t is the celebration of the greatest discovery
In the history of the human family, and one
which has proven more or less beneficial to
all people. In view Of that fact it was pro-
posed that the exposition should be COM
mensurate with the occasion it comment
crates: Aside from that feature it affords
TOR the first time an opportunity for
to bring forth and place for compar-
ison the productions of their skill and
handiwork, showing the point to which their
people have advanced, while the centuries
have come and gone. IN a sense the Column
ban Exposition will be vast Cosmopolitan
University, where the nations will become
voluntary pupils and the work OF their ham
dicraft serve as object lessons for the study
and benefit OF all. 1t will form a universal
society and reception, to which all the hu-
man family are invited, regardless of caste,
creed or color. The children from the East
can meet those from the North, South and
West, and each can learn of the advancement
and progress which his fellow man has made
on his respective portion Of the globe.
Here will be achieved peace conquest,
more potent in its influence more beneficial
and far-reaching in its results, than ali the
victories gained in the history of wars The
occasion is oppOrtune and Will be a mighty
factor in bringing about that feeling of uni
yersal brotherhood, which in time will result
IN " the Parliament of man, the federation
of the. world" 1t properly is an interna-
tional institution, in which all should par
tcipate. Its coming will be an intellectual
banquet. from which all will depart to their
distant homes feeling it was good for chem
to have been there. All national strife and
sectional lines should for the while at least
vanish. and that littleness of soul give place
to the more generous disposition Of human
interest In human kind. JB CAMpREII.

Then, Flagman McKigney Leaped, He
Was Killed by the Locomotive.
Edward McKigney, a fagnan at the
Grove-street crossing of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad in Jersey City, was killed yester-
day morning. Since the railroad company
began to elevate the tracks in the city there
have been no gates at the crossings, but The
number OF guards has been quadrupled to
prevent accident. McKigney was one of the
new men. He had been employed in a
foundry for twenty-five years, and had ac-
cumulated sufficient property to live on for
the remainder of his life. He had also
raised family, and their earnings made it
possible for him TO give up his employment
in the foundry and take life easy. Thomas

City division OF the road, an old friend OF
McKigney, suggested that he might take the
place of hagman TO occupy his time and add
something to his income.
About 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning
west-bound express train approached the
crossing at moderate speed McKigney
and his fellow flag-men stood on either side
OF the crossing waving their flags. A boy
darted behind Mekigney. and was on the
track before the latter saw him. A warn
ing shouN from the other flagman attracted
the attention of both, and without mo-
ments hesitation McKigney jumped for
ward, seized the boy and hurled him out of
the way OF the approaching train. As he

FALSE COURBETS.
The Counterfeits OF French PictLrss In
the CITY of Paris.

The COunterfeits OF French PictIrss In
the City of Paris.
The counterfeiters of French pictures, ID
appears from the Paris journals, having be-
come aware that the market is overstocked
with false Corots, Rousseaus and Dupres,
have begun to turn their attention to Cour-
bet. A cousin Of the painter II. Eugene
Courbet, has lately been busy tracking them
out and has discovered no less than six
clever painters whoare making dishonest
living in whole or in part by initiating the
Communist painter. He was first attracted
to Geneva, where his cousin had taken
refuge after the fall of the Commune. While
there COurDet was oppressed by the fact
that he could not return to France until he
had paid for the Nendome Column, whose
overthrow he had decreed. He accordingly
set to work with great industry. making use
OF some four or five of his pupils to push the
work faster. Two of the cleverest Of these
caught so well his spirit of tricks and color
and handling as to readily palm off theiy
work for his. After his death they estab-.
lished themselves in Paris and forw arded
their pictures to Brussels to dealer, who
charged himself with the task of adding
Courhets signature and disposing of them.
Four other falS!fiers, not so dangerous as
they and not so clever, have since turned up.
These all keep themselves on the safe side
OF the law by not signing Courbets name to
their works, and the dealers who do sign it
are out OF france. Inc innocent amateur,
however, who buys If these dealers and
afterward brings his pictures into France is
liable to have them coniScated.
The story may serve as warning to those
would-be connoisseurs of ours who really
care more for the possession of the name of
an artist than his work. 1t is safe to say
that more than half of COurbets to be found
In private picture collections in this country
belong either to the class of pot boilers which
were dashed off by this conscienceless
painter during his sojourn in Switzerland,
or to that of the more or less clever counter
feits by his lis. Courbet is what Is
called "a painters painter" His rugged,
vigorous, almost brutal style must even
when he is ut his best, be ''cavare to the
general. who richly deserve to be punished
for pretending to like what they would not
think of buying but for the fascination Of
the signature or the canvas or panel. That
even the connoiSscur may be deceived in
judging of C0urSet's work is proven by the
revelation that among the forgeries just de-
tected was one Of the paintings passed by
the jury of experts and conspicuously hung

Destroying the Pyramids.

The Bosphore Egyptien announces new
act of astounding vandalism, which that
amiable journal does not hesitate to insinu-
ate Is conniyed at by the Egyptian Govern
ment. Three gangs of wurkmeD, under two
local sheiks, are daily extracting blocks
from the lower courses of the two larges t
pyramids Of Gizeh. These are broken up
for building uurnoses. The shaihs ailaoa
that they arr doing this work of destruction
by permission of the Government; whereas
they have, it is said. obtained only a permit
authorizing them to remove scattered
blocks. That these Arabs should exceed
their license Is not surprising; but it is
surely, TO say the least Of it. extraordinary
that Government partly administered by
Europeans should have granted such powers
to native oYerseers, unchecked by the
presence OF one OF their own officials. The
pyramids do not belong to the Khedive nor
to his Government; they do not even belong
to the Egyptians. They are the Inheritance
