Choice Coloring in Inexpensive Chintzea
Cretonnes and Stamped Velvet.
In the handsomer damasks, broche tap
estries and brocatelles, it is a question
whether the exquisite tints noticeable In
some weaves were ever before accomplished.
Here is damask, the background of SHIN.
mering gray with blue tinge glintins
through it. Metal tones of copper, of silver,
and of gold, the first deepening almost -
red, all play part in the floral design
which almost covers the background.
Others are of a tearose color with metal
effects; of "dracena" Ca vegetable greenl,
with gold and bronze touches and of Mersey
blue, embellished in silver. In the damasks
the tones most in favor are delicate and in
distinct.
Broche tapestry reveals brighter tints In
floral designs as do also few of the bro
catelles.
Perhaps one of the most surprising fea-
lures just now is the assortment Of Gre
tonnes and the more inexpensive stamped
velvets, designed especially for country
houses. Choice in coloring and design. al
most as artistic possibilities exist, by their
aid, as in the richer materials Floral de-
signs are TO the fore. and, in addition to
the allover pattern, Is a separate width
composed of a double border Incorporating
the same designs.
Chintz of every hue and of lovely pat
terning will also playen important part in
the hangings for country dwellings.
The Decorator and Furnisher, from which
the above notes are CLEANED, says also that
if we are TO be IN style we no longer cover
every part of the rooms with carpet; we
use rugs and parquet flooring in all tbs
corners and inches where the square or
rectangular piece of carpet cannot reach.
What saving this is, too. over the old
fashioned style. The neatest thing in car
peting is TO have a perfect square or rec
tangular carpet and then all spaces not COW
cred with this may be left bare or partly
concealed from view by rugs. The most
effective way is to have the woodwork in
laid and then beautiful mat made TO cover
only part of the floor. The contrast Is
very beautiful

Famous Horses of the Greeks.

The Greeks were genuine lovers Of
horses. 1t was claimed that Posideon
struck the earth and produced the horse
"a poetic way of saying that horses
were first imported into Greece from be-
yond the sea. Homer's fayorite appella-
ton for the Greek heroes is "tamer of
horses" And almost every page Of the
Had shows that Homer's admiration for
the chieftains is almost matched by his
enthusiasm for the firm footed coursers,
the fiery steeds, the horses famed in war.
No common animals were these of the
Greeks and Trojans.
The horses of Hneas were of the stock
which Zeus the thunderer gave to Tros
The horses of Rheus were as glorious as
the sun; the snow was not SO white, the
wind not SO swift as they. The horses
of Dromed seemed to be in the air as
they flew along, but of all the horses
that proudly distinguished themselves
in that famous war, the wooden horse
took the lead for efficiency. 1t was the
wooden horse that gave Troy to the
Greeks.-Caroline K. Sherman in Chi
cago Herald.

The English Theater as Chinese Sees 1t.
When an actor first appears on the
stage he must remove his cap and in
cline himself toward the seated audience
as a mark Of courtesy. The audience
then drum upon their hands to sign
their approval An actor who has gcGe
off the stage must appear again, and by
bowling toward the audience express his
thanks.
Their plays, like ours, are divided into
''civil" and military; the civil plays
consist either of music solely-when the
sound is of boo-hoo-or solely Of
mimicry. The majority are taken from
the history of the country. The scenery
is marvellous. When one scene is finished
the curtain is dropped and the scenery
changed. Below the stage music is played
during the interludes In the case of
these old romances several scenes are
brought together to form play, and if
this play is acted today it will be acted
again tomorrow, so as to give every one
an opportunity of seeing it.
When no more visitors come to see, an
other play is substituted, or the troupe
removes to another theater. Military
plays are those in which acrobats are
engaged; the theaters in this case are
somewhat larger and are known as
''camps" (circuses) Temple Bar.

Useful Household Items.

The fashion of using a canton flannel
cloth under the linen tablecloth is a very
desirable one IL prevents noise when
dishes are set down; saves much wear on
fine linen cloths, making them last longer,
and gives body to an old or thin cloth.
Most people in cleaning lamp chimneys
use bristle brush with wire handle or a
cloth wrapped over stick, both of which
are liable to scratch the glass, making it
break more readily when expanded by the
heat A sponge the size of the lamp chin
ney tied to the end Of a slender pine stick
IS better than either.
When washing fine white fiannels add a
tablesoonful Of pulverized borax to a pail
ful of water. This viii keep them soft and
white.

He Got the Seat.

a nice young man got into a tram car
. few evenings ago, and saw to his de-
light the only vacant seat was by the side
of young lady acquaintance. He made
for that seat with joyous strides, and her
eyes answered his with delighted looks.
But just as he got there an elderly party
walked mp and dropped into the coveted
seat The young man approached more
slowly and accosted the young lady.
'How is your brotherI" ne asked; lis
he able to get out?'
''Oh, yesW she answered.
"Will he be very badly marked?" he
continued. and the old gentleman grew
suddenly interested.
''Oh, nor she said, with the excep-
ton of a few marks on his forehead"
''Were you not afraid Of taking IL"
the young man continued, while she old
gentleman broke out in a cold perspira-
fion.
Not at all, she replied; Il had been
vaccinated, you know"
The seat was vacated instantly, the
swo innocent young hearts beat as half
o dozen, and the prattle of mice talk"
strewed that part Of the car. while an
old gentleman scowled upon them from
the distant corner.-London Tit-Bits.

Clothes That ROYALTIES Wear.

What funny people royalties are! If /
were to visit Persian in his home it
would never occur to me to put on
flowing robe and sheepskin hat and to
expect the Persian TO receive me in Euro
pean garb But royalties never seem
able to meet without exchanging clothes.
For instance, when the emperor arrived
ut Port Victoria his majesty made his
appearance in the garb of an English ad-
miral, and the Prince Of Wales responded
10 this delicate attention by donning the
dress of a Butcher hussar, while his
brothers and son masqueraded as German
bussars and Uhlans.-London Truth,

Walking Leaves and TwIEs.

The walking and climbing leaves Of
Australia were for over half a century
considered the greatest of natural Won
ders. A party of sailors wandered inland
and sat down to rest under tree. A
great wind shook to earth several dead
and brown leaves. These presently be
gan to show signs of life and crawl to-
ward the trunk, which they assembled,
and attached themselves to their respec-
tive tTvigs.
Hence the sailors, who promptly ran
away, said the place was bewitched But
the simple fact turned ont 10 be that the
so called "leaves" were really leaf shaped
insects, having long, pendulous LEGS,
which could be folded out of sight, and
possessing the chameleon like power Of
varying their color to correspond with
that of the foliage they are clinging to.
Upon being shaken 10 the ground, in
stinct taught them to seek shelter Of the
friendly leaves again as soon as possible.
These walking leaves are frequently
found in the woods of Illinois The
farmers call them animated twigs, as
they exactly resem bic a bit Of the tree.
They are green when the trees are green,
but as soon as the foliage changes they
become brown. The writer Of this was

The Maternal Instinct and Dogs.

Dog worship is, as has been said, a
fashion. II is, for the most part, an i'm
itation, n pretense, in the beginning at
least, though it may become, often does
become, sincere, serious 10 degree, in
furious after long indulgence. In
natural attachments, affections misdl-
rected are likely 10 bring their own re-
venges. They stray so far from fitness
that they cannot return 10 the normal
when they would, whatever the effort
made. That dog worship is fashion IS
shown by the fashionable women who
regularly appear in the parks and public
drives with tiny dogs on theIr laps or
nesting against their bosoms.
Often these women are unmarried.
They give 70 dogs the care. the tender
ness. the devotion they would give TO
babies had they borne them. It Is plain

the maternal instinct. as = proved when

y Tree That Furnishes Real Lace

The department of agriculture has is
sued a very curious and interesting list
of plants useful TO man which are con-
famed in its collection.
Among the most remarkable of these
is the lace bark tree Of Jamaica, the in
1er bark Of which is composed of many
layers of fbers that interlace it in all di-
rections. Caps, ruf1es, and even COM
plete suits of lace are made from it. 1t

The Cavalry of the Rouors

Devoted as the Romans were to war.
the cavalry was an important part Of
the army. 4 great deal of adverse criti-
cism has been passed upon their horse
manship and skill in managing the
cavalry. The Prussian hussar officer
Warnering, pronounces Cesar an indif-
ferent cavalry general and ridicules his
arrangements where cavalry are con-
Cerned. Cesar, however, conquered all
the same. His famous horse, credited
with having a human fore foot, was
equal to the star eyed goddess herself for
victory. Chicago Herald.

Grease Spots.

To remove grease spots from carpets q
little borax or ammonia in warm water
will often answer the purpose, or mix half
a wineglassful of Fuller's earth and the
same quantity of magnesia with boiling
water, and put it hot on the grease spots.
When dry brush it off. Benzine is also
good. Stains of grease on marble are more
difficult to remove if they have remained
some time. Make paste of Fullers earth
and benzine and lay it on thickly, leave for
twelve hours. then wash off with warm
