THE senate finance committee will
probably not find it eXpedient to adhere
to the plan Of giving hearings only to
those interests which applied to the ways
and means committee of the house too
late to receive attention in connection
with the tariff. The senate committee
is being overwhelmed with petitions and
communications, and some of the
interests which have in this way given
voice to their wishes will undoubtedly
press for further hearing, when the
door is opened, with an eagerness which
the committee will find it impossible to
resist The desire OF the committee to
get measure before the senate with as
little delay as possible is commendable,
because il is important that tho busi-
ness interests of the country shall not be
in uncertainty regarding what the tariff
is to be any longer than necessary, but
it is equally important that the senate
tariff trainers shall not fail to get any
new light that may assist them to bet
ter understanding of what the people
expect OF them. The indications now
are that there win be very little of the
Mckinley bill reported to the senate.

THE WAY 1T is SAID.

The sultan awoke with stifled scream.
His nerves were shocked by fearful dream.
An omen of terrible import and doubt.
His teeth all i'll one moment fell out.
His wise men assembled at break of day,
And stood at the throne in solemn array;
And when the terrible dream was told,
Each felt shudder, his blood ran cold.
And all stood Silent. in fear and dread,
And wondering what was best to be said.
At length soothsayer, wrinkled and gray,
Cried, Pardon, my lord, what have to say !;
''1is an omen of sorrow sent from on high,
Thou shalt see all thy kindred die"
Wroth was the sultan: he gnasbed his teeth,
And his very words seemed to hiss and seethe,
AS he ordered the wise man bound with
chains,
And gave him a hundred stripes for his pains.
The wise men shook as the sultans eye
Swept round TO see who next would try;
But one of them, stepping before the throne,
Exclaimed, in loud and joyous tone:
'.Exult, O head of happy statel
Rejoice, o heir of a glorious fate!
For this is the favor thou shalt win,
0 sultan, TO outliye all thy kim
Pleased was the sultan, and called slave
And hundred crowns to thewise man gave.
But the courtiers nod, with grave, sly winks,
And each one whispers what each one thinks:
sWelI, can the sultan reward and blame;
Didn't both the wise men foretell the same?
Quoth the crafty old yizier. shaking his head,
80 much may depend on'the way thing 8
said.'

HOUSEHOLD DECORATIONS.

Some of the Latest Fads That Are
Unique in Designs and Com
binatiOns. =
Some of the latest fads iu room decor
ations are very unique in design and
combination. The time when drawing
rooms looked like junk shops, and we
felt like calling rags, bottles'' each
time one of the aesthetic crazed homes
was entered, has passed. A laudable
craze for the artistic has followed, and
merit as well as age must place the
value on everything. Draperies, al
ways graceful and pretty, are again in
demand. and the old time art of needle
work bids fair to be revived.
Eastern draperieS are in high favor,
and the soft blending of colOrs renders
them harmonious with furniture of all
kinds and colOrS.
Constantinople scarfs of old rose silk
worked in dull gold threads have tar
nished but artistically antique look that
makes them seem valuable. They form
pretty draperieS for tables and mantel
corners.
HindOo embroidery in solferino,
cream, gold and black is used for couch
antimacassars and cushion covers with
odd but desirable effect.
Old Roman Scarfs are again the rage
for picture drapery, and in cases OF pict-
ure frames ciashing with the colorS of
the walls back of them the scarfs form
double use-that of separating the
offending c0lOrS and serving also as a
fashionable drapery.
Florentine applique on plush makes
rather heavy drapery, but is much used
OH heavy furniture. The handwork on
some of these table covers and scarfS is
very beautiful, and the price is accord
ingly high.
Large bows of cream and pink crepe
de Chine trimmed with small, finely cut
steel beads, make pretty decorations
for cabinets, brackets or stands.
GObelin p0tteries with heavy brass
handles. made Ill old Greek shapes and
painted in queer and fanciful designs,
are among the latest novelties, OF rather
the latest revivals of old designs.
Jardinieres of pale red Egyptian ware
are filled with living ferns, and have
fern designs of the same color and pat
tern painted on the outside, as il the
the jardiniere. The intention of this
painted pattern is to appear so near like
the natural ferns that at distance the
distinction between nature and art can
not be defined.
Pictures of tabled subjects. framed in
| white and silver, make fantastic orna-
ments for walls. They are principally
in black and white engravings. though
occasionally painted in oils or water
colOrS.
Fishing scenes, with colored silk nets
tied with bright ribbons draped across
one corner of each; hunting scenes,
with silver whips, riding length. crossed
at the bottom of the frame; easels, hold
ing boating scenes, are made of hard
wood oars. with gilded oar locks that
support the picture.
The indiscriminate use of fans for
wall decoration is thing OF the past.

Fatal Result of Attachment to a
Theater Syren.

Ineater Syren.
Considerable interest has been caused
by the suicide of M. Constantin Vent
ura, nephew of the former project of
Bucharest and cousin of Prince Milan,
eX-king of Seryia, says a Paris letter.
He was only twenty-four years of age,
and his fate was the logical consequence
of having loved not wisely but too we'll.
The young fellow possessed some pri-
vate fortune, and was well known in
the theatrical world, where he made
the ACQUAINTANCE of a certain actress, to
whom Immediately he lost his heart.
He fell desperately i'll love; but it was a
hopeless passion, for he could not con-
tinue to discharge the claims upon his
purse which the unfortunate liaiSOn
created. In his distress the loye-sick
youth made more than one attempt to
terminate his misery. Once he swal-
lowed morphine. but the dose was in
sufficient to kill. He was very ill for a
while, but he still persisted. The
second time he fired carbine at his
head, but merely succeeded in shooting
off finger, which it is said he after
ward preserved in spirits. In q third
futile attempt to take his life he made
use of a toy revolver, which he placed
against his breast. The ball, which
was arrested by his clothing, scarcely
grazed the skin. This etfortwaS toward

reconciliation with his lad yl0ye fol-
