The Iowa Meteor,

several specimens of the famous meteor

twelve miles from Forest City, la. The

ness where they have been exposed to the
air, and the inner substance is a steely
gray. The wonderful thing about them
is their weight. Though undoubtedly
metallic, the specimens are remarkably
light for their size, about one-quarter as
heavy as an ordinary pebble of corelative
proportions. AS will be remembered
one piece, the largest found, weighed III
pounds, and was purchased by Professo,
Winchell, of Minneapolis, for $105. But
the professor only reached Forest City
with his prize. He boughtit from Pete,
Hogan, who found it on farm of which
he is the lessee. The owner of the farm
has sued Hogan to gain possession of the
huge air traveller, and the specimen il
held until the decision of the suit.-St

Nupa,il the Tramp and Loved Him.


An interesting story comes from Green
Ridge, in Robertson county, Tenn, In
which a handsome young man and q
pretty girl figure as its leading spirits.
i Last fall stalwart youth of about 20
years made his appearance at the home
of farmer in the suburbs of Green
Ridge and applied for work. He was a
tramp, with his worldly possessions in a
bundle slung across his shoulder, and
was hungry and footsore and eager for a
Job. The farmer gave him a trial, and
being much pleased with his labor en-
ployed him regularly. In March the
young man fell sick with fever and for
two weeks was very Ill. a
In the same village resided Essie Sulli-
van, who was pretty and attractive and
the daughter Of merchant in good cir
cumstances. She had seen the young
fellow great many times, but had no
acquaintance with him, as he was not
attentive to the ladies, but remained at
home and attended to his duties closely.
The young girl had doubtless been at
tracted by his personal appearance, for
when she learned of his sickness she be-
gan sending him flowers and then nice
things to eat. At first she went no far
ther than the door, but was finally in
duced to enter the sick room to receive
his thanks. Hf
As time wore on she grew bolder and
prolonged her visits, and in the kindness
Of her heart read to the afflicted youth.
Life was a pleasant dream to them for
several weeks, and the rumor soon
spread that they would wed.
This report was confirmed Tuesday
when the young people went to Nash
vile and were married. The girl left a
note behind saying that she had eloped,
as she knew her parents would never
consent to her wedding a common labor
er without home and unknown, but
that she loved him, and would rather
share poverty with him than live in
ease and comfort without his protecting
love and care. IL raqzg
The girls parents were ignorant of the
attachment between their daughter and
the stranger, and were taken by surprise.
They are much distressed over the affair.

China and Japan ut odds.

In well informed circles the prospect
of war between China and Japan is be-
ing seriously discussed. The bone of
contention is Japan's claim to the Lui
Chin Islands as Japanese territory, and
as the Chinese are said to be determined
to fight unless Japan gives up the islands
in question it is quite possible that fight
ing may ensue. At all events, the
Chinese government is said to be ener-
getically preparing squadron for active
service, a fact which perhaps serves to
account for the recent marked increase
of Russia's naval and military forces in
the far st.-London Figaro.

" A Horse. Long Swim .

A pair of horses attached TO heavy
truck belonging to Smedley Brothers, and
driven by Louis Woods, became fright
ened near the head of Long Wharf, in
New Haven, Conn, and ran away. In
his efforts to control the animals Woods
broke the bit in the mouth Of the of
horse and they sped down the wharf al
breakneck pace. Just before reaching
the end Woods jumped, seeing that the
horses would go over into the harbor.
This they did moment later, horses
and truck disappearing in water ten feet
deep. For a moment the team was out
Of sight. Then one horse appeared on
the surface and struck out for the East
Haven shore, mile and half across
the harbor. Some men followed in a
rowboat. 3.,-..s o.. ...-.s..... - r... a..
About a quarter of mile from the
wharf the horse struck mud and floun.
dered. he was helped up by the men in
the rowboat and again started for the
shore, A short distance further on he
again struck mud bank and rolled ovel
on his back, but once more he was as
sisted to his feet, and working his way
through the mud reached deep water
He swan as straight as an arrow, and
did not need further assistance until
within short distance Of the shore
when he struck reef of fine stone and
disappeared under the water. q The
spectators on shore held their breath in
expectancy that he had gone down fol
good, but the next instant he came tc
the surface, and clearing the reef found
firm foothold and walked ashore
through water about three feet deep.
He was in an exhausted condition after
his mile and half swim, and did moi
manifest any disposition to run further
The other horse was drowned. With the
assistance Of derrick the truck was
raised to the wharf. rf.-Cor. New Yorl

Mother Frochard stood near the door
of the Amphion theatre, and her cart

Ice was high, the weather was cold,

Helen Keller Learning to Sneak.

We have had occasion to make men
ton of the little girl, Helen Keller, OF
Alabama, who came here deaf, dumb and
blind. For some time she has been at
the blind asylum at South Boston, where
she has made remarkable progress, ex-
ceeding in her readiness to learn even
Laura Bridgman. Some few weeks since
she was placed in charge of Miss Fuller,
Of the Horace Mann school, and it is said
that in very short space of time she
has acquired the power to express herself
by words which are perfectly Ineligible
to every one. The case is one of great
interest. Boston Journal.

place will be more convenient and artistic
in effect if placed at the opposite end; be-
sides, fewer people will have the fire at their
back, a point worthy of consideration.
A dining room should not be mere eat
ing box; there should be sufficient room at
the sides and ends for seating space, furni-
ture against the walls, and passage be-
tween for serving. Supposing the smallest
width of dining room table to be 8 feet,
the sitting space from table to back of chair
16 inches, space for serving back of chairs
2 feet and inches, without allowing any
space for furniture against the wall, the
least width for dining room, possible,
would be II feet; If the table be Z feet long
the shortest length admissible would be II
feet and six inches. If we allow space for
furniture against the walls with addition
of above, it would require a room IA feet
6inches by II feet. r.t.s..n
The colors of the walls may be richer
and deeper in tone than would be suitable
for the parlor. The woodwork which seems
best adapted for the finish and furniture of
this room is oak. Either in its natural
color or stained to resemble antique oak.
In either case the color Of the walls may be
olive or subdued red or yellow. A hard
wood floor neatly polished adds much to
the neatness Of the whole finish.

Suggestions for Interior Decorations
= } sIdeboard, Table and Chairs.
The mind Of man is so susceptible to
outward influences that he naturally falls
into harmony with his surroundings, and
takes upon himself the tone Of thought
and feeling which is suggested by them.
II the room in which he lives or dimes
strikes him as unsuitably constructed, or
ill adapted to its intended use, the sense Of
incongruity which arises harasses and an
noys him. Badly combined colors, or rooms
which are awkwardly planned, and whose
decorations and furniture are ugly and in
harmonious, set the example Of discord
and Ill humor to its inmates. II has been
said that the planners of our houses have a
greater influence in forming our charac-
tiers than the preachers, as the influence Of
ones surroundings is more lasting. II
blue sky, bright sun and green fields make
our hearts rejoice, why should not pleas
ant, comfortable honest II dull days,
dreary landscapes and barren fields make
people feel gloomy and sad, why should
not sour tempers and morose dispositions
be fostered by badly lighted, awkwardly
planned and hideously decorated rooms

DINING ROOM CHAIR.

The proper aspect for the dining room is
the east or, south, as it is more cheerful,
warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One can scarcely imagine a pleasanter
greeting than the rays of the morning sun,
which temper the air with softness which
arouses all the instincts of our better ma
ture. A dining room with western as
pect is Objectionable, as it is cheerless and
cold in the morning and receives too much
sunshine in the latter part of the day. and
lighted directly from the west those sitting
at one side of the table would receive the
light directly in their faces. The light in
a dining room should come from one end,
as fewer of those sitting at the table will
sbe Inconvenience by having the light
shine directly in their eyes.
Again, If the light be at the side of the
room, the plates of one-half of those sit
ting at the table will be in shadow, as we'll
as their faces, which will also be unpleas,
ant. When lighted at the end it is better
to separate the windows so that the light
may be evenly and uniformly diffused in
the room, which would not be the case If
the windows were closely grouped in the
middle. 1t is also advisable to secure a
secondary light at the other. end of the
room when possible. &g&
