There is nothing more satisfactory
than tiles, either from an aesthetic or
utilitarian view. Every one, is familiar
nowadays with tiles as facing to fire
places and as hearths. The greatest OBJ
lection to tiling is its cost. 1t is not at
all difficult matter to set tiles. One of
the first essentials is that they be per-
fectly matched in. size. There is often
considerable difference in the dimen-
sions and thickness of those of the same
size and make. a facing of tiles the
depth of an ordinary wainscot is very
pretty and easily kept clean When
purchased by, the quantity the average
price of plain white tile six inches
square is only ten cents each.
A decorated. or shaded tile may be pur-
chased from twenty-five cents upward
A decorated tile alternating with plain
tile gives very pretty effect. A medley
of colors is not effective. Blue and white
tiling is always pretty for a room facing.
A piece of this work above the kitchen
sink, seems to brighten up a very dark
and .unattractiye room. Nowhere is til
| ing prettier or more useful than in the
bathroom, where; it may form the facing
| of the walls and even the flooring.
American manufacturers are making
very attractive tiles in relief and in
plain shaded effects.-New York Trib

LLNCOLN,s PROPHECY.

The prophecy made by President Lin
coin in letter to friend near the close
ofthe war is being circulated in printed
form among the labor organizations of
Chicago. After speaking of the struggle
which was drawing to an end. Lincoln
said:
1t has been trying hour for the re-
public, but l see in the near future
crisis arising that unnerves me and
causes me TO tremble in fear for the
safety of my country. Az a result of the
war corporations have been enthroned,
an era of corruption in high places will
follow, and the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong it's
reign, by working upon the prejudices of
the people, until all the wealth is aggre-
gated in few hands and the republic is
destroyed. L feel in this moment more
anxiety for my country than ever before,
even in the midst of war. God grant
that my suspicious may prove ground
less.
Thousands of slips have been printed
and postal cards with the prophecy on
them have been sent broadcast through
the mail. No one seems to know who is
the author of the movement, but all la
Dor organizations are flooded with the
slips and cards.

made known whether her new rank will
extend to her heirs, but it is thought
that without doubt her son, Hugh Mac

such has been the custom following the

HOW HE KNEW TT.

Last November agentleman from the
east was in Portland looking for invest
ments for himself and friends, and while
in barber shop was looking over the
advertisements of Il ten-dollar excursion
to Baker CITY, He thought that the
charming little city might be good
place to put in some money and began
asking questions about the place. salts
flying his curiosity as far as possible.
just as he started to leave the shop he
chanced to see Baker City paper on
the table. He picked it up and glancing
it over saw a notice signed by the bar
bers of the city stating that the price of
hair cutting would be reduced from so to
25 cents from that date. He took that
as an evidence of improvement in times,
and called the attention of the 'tknight
of the strop" to the announcement.
+'Don't go there, my friend, - advised the
barber, ''for it is dead sure that the
bottom has dropped out. In mining
town, when the BARRIERS drop the price
of shaving or haircutting to less than
four-bits. there is no money TO be had
and you will find all the gamblers have
skipped and the town is dead" The

years, and having watched the same

a bishop wheelIng a Barrow

A story is told of Canon Creighton
during his residence in Worcester. One
day, passing down . street in one of the
poorer quarters of, the town, he saw an
old woman endeayoring to wheel a heavy
barrow filled with coal up an alley. The
wheel Of the barrow would not, in spite
of all her feeble efforts, be forced over
the edge of the parapet between the
opening and the street. Canon Creigh-

creature out of the shafts of the barrow.
Then he addressed himself to. the task,
and in a moment more the load of fuel
was trunding brislzly down the alley in

II we know the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
Never trouble US again;
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our browf
Would the prints of rosy fingers
Yex us then as they do now?
All, these little ice cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our backward trackl
How those little hands remind US,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns but roses
For our reaping by and byi
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet voiced bird has flown;
Strange that wo should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down In the airl
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never blossomed in such beauty
As adorns the mouth today;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all along our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff:
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings OF toddG
With a patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.

BEAUTY OF THE NECK.

Another important branch Of culture is
bringing the neck within beauty's claim.
And here, too, about the same treatment
will lay on or take off plumpness II you
do not believe that hinges get rusty from
disuse, just give your neck the exercise of
twisting and turning in directions that do
not belong exactly to the prescribed rules
for carrying the head Without moving
the shoulders, move the head from side to
side, backward and forward and around
from right to left and back again as far as
it will 60.
1t will make the hinges crack and creak
it will make You dizzy; it will make you
wish that you had not been SO suprenely
reckless as to eat your last meal, but you
will understand at once that the beauty of
the neck has been impaired by the muscles
having been in disuse. Through the lack
OF exercise the flesh becomes fiabby and in-
creases, and from the same cause the hoI-
lows become more conspicuous. The dizzi-
ness, the cracking and creaking, and the
nausea will disappear after two or three
trials and the benefits of this branch appear
in comparatively few days. In addition
to the exercise, showering the neck with
cold water will help develop the lines of
symmetry - Chicago Herald.

world by death, that W ould mean good bye

commonly denominated the big head -
This disease is not only confined TO the in
mates of institutions, but often officials
become seriously afflicted with the same
disease already referred to. They actually
imagine that no one is so competent as
themselves, that it would be an impossi-

They swell out their breasts full Of imagi-

WORDS OF PRAISE.

Do not let your words of praise be num-
bered. Let them fall from the lips when-
ever an opportunity affords. 1t will light
en- the heart of the weary mother, wife or
sister TO know that their little painstakings
are appreciated. If the pie or pudding is
good, say so; it will bring a smile to the
face of the one who prepared il so carefully
for you. Watch and see. Do not let any
to present a cheerful word about anything
that presents; whether the silver is shining
brighter or the glass has an extra lustre,
or boquet of flowers, or an extra delicacy
comes into view, bring forth your words of
praise.
Do not let your countenance hetoken
pent up storm as you enter or leave the
doorway. Let some pleasing smile or
CHEEKY word remain, as it will, long after
you b ave gone. How many go from their
homes never to return again. What sort
of an impression do you want to leave as
a last one? Leave loving words, kindly
smiles and kisses to the dear ones.
Boys praise your mothers, praise your
sisters, and do not receive things as a
machine or as one who cares only for him.

will be rewarded in the great future, as
well as forming yourselves into good and
