AN OvER-MANTEL.

The illustration we show represents the APP
plication of an idea for Over-mantel for a door
way or window, with place for bric-a-brac on
top. 1t will be seen that this is q departure
nothing and is relief, in any form, to the bar
rem, desolate character of the average over
door or window top, which is the last thing one
seems to think of treating.
Six or seven years ago the craze began for
what 10 called piano lamps-those tail, leaned
stemmed, long shafted contHivances that run
five or six feet up and are top heavy with radi-
ant shades. They have been made by the
thousands and hundreds Of thousands and now
they are introduced as q part of q chair. A
conversational chair recently seen has one of
those piano lamps rising from the center of
the arms.

A Conductor Poser.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A Chinaman boared Market street car yss-
terday and handed the conductor . ive-cens
piece. That official rang up fare on the reg
lister, and, while making change for another
passenger, put the Chinaman's nickel In his
mouth. In going around the curve by the
public buildings the car gave lurch and the
conductor swallowed the coin. The fact q
what the result might be 10 his digestion didne
seem TO trouble him 30 much as being short in
his cash His first move was TO put the celes-
tial on the car but the Mre had already been
registered, and he spent the remainder OF the
trip IN trying to figure whether he was cent?
out or cents in, or both.

Many people use lace curtains at their win
dows with nothing in conjunction Herewith,
although very little in the way of over drapery
will be an Improvement. We illustrate here
an idea very effective. which consists simply of
India silk with small ball fringe. The fringe
should be OF balls Of alternating colors. white
with shade a tribe darker than the India silk,
caught up as We here illustrate. The treat
ment is very graceful.
EFFECTS OF LOCATION.
There is nothing which more directly affects
the character Of ones housefurnishings than
locality. Light varies and to obtain proper
results one should consider the source from
which his room is lighted. If the room has a
northern aspect the light which comes in is Of
Q cold and glaring character and hard colors
should never be used. Given two bare rooms
one facing the north and one the south. and
furnish them identically alike and you will find
utterly different effects. A room getting its
light from the north should be furnished in
warm tints-yellow or golden browns.
A NOVELTY IN DECORATION

THE THREE SISTERS.

As the Three Sisters (three protruding rocks
in the river are passed memory recalls some
pretty legends, that have come down the gener
atoms in song and story, concerning them.
We are told, for instance, that once upon q
time three beautiful Indian girls (sisters) dwelt
upon the bank OF the river above here;
that these three maidens bad three Indian
lovers, TO whom they were betrothed. that
three white youths, smitten with the charms Of
the girls. Intellectually sought to ALLEVIATE their
affections; that the Indian braves while in their
canoe one moonlight night gliding over the
smooth water. with their lovers. were killed by
the infatuated pale-faced youths; that the
maidens jumped into the water and sought
escape from their pursuers by swimming to
the three rocks-whither they were followed.
however: that hopeless of escape the girls,
locked III each others embrace. plunged into
the deep water and disappeared forevermore.
But their spirits are said to haunt the place,
and the frequent drowniEgs that occur there
are attributed TO their evil influence.

RUSSIAN SEAL MONOPOLY.
The Company Takes go, 900 Skins-Th
Rookeries I'm Splendid Condition.

SAN Francisco, Sept 2S.-P. Grunwaldt.
president of the Russian sealskin Company,
which has concession from the Russian gov
eminent for taking all the sealskins in and con-
tiguous to Boring sea in Russian territory,
arrived from St. Petersburg yesterday. The
concession was given last year, and continues
Tor ten years. Last year over $1,000 skins were
taken, and this year the catch may be as heavy,
though that is uncertain. All the skins will
arrive on one vessel in a few days, and Mr..
Grunwaldt is here to receive them. They will
be forwarded at once to London, where they will
be sold by c. III. Lampsou and doubtless will
then be speedily dyed. President Grunwaldt
also said:
Our rookeries are in splendid condition, and
have no doubt they will remain so. The Rus
sian government has a thoroughly expert and
practical man who remains on the ground, and
whenever in his judgment, enough has been
taken he simply orders that we close down, and
this is done. The system is admirable, and our
seals will continue for years plentiful as now
In fact they will never be reduced.
