An idea for a Boudoir.

Here is an idea for small withdrawing
room or boudoir: Tint the walls with soft
china pink, and tone them down with lace
hangings. Nottingham curtain stuff looks
exceedingly well and, as we all know, is
not expensive. After tacking them on the
wall finish the top with hounce about
fifteen or sixteen inches in length. By di
viding curtain you will get the finished
edge for the bottom of your aounce. The
pink thus covered becomes very delicate,
and forms beautiful background for
water color drawings. The whole room
should be kept as delicate as possible with
softly tinted china as decoration.

Extracting by Electricity

Years ago electricity was used extensively
when teeth were extracted to lessen the
pain. The patient held one pole in his
hands, and the other one was connected
with the handles of the forceps. When the
operator clasped the forceps on the tooth,
the circuit was completed, and the patient
received severe shock just at the moment
when the operator pulled the tooth. But
the question was whether the shock was
not worse than the pain.-Interview in

WIDOW BAILEY AND HER PISTOL.
A Tramp who Got Impudent Was Invited
Out, and He Went.

Widow Mary Bailey, who dwells by her
self in lonely house in the outskirts of
Chester village, went into her bedroom to
90 TO bed the other night, says the Phila-
delphia Telegraph. set her lamp on a table,
glanced at the window, and saw an ugly
looking face glaring at her through pane.
She picked up the lamp, returned to the
kitchen, threw open the door, and called !:
"What do you want?"
Thereat the owner of the face at the
window, burly tramp, advanced TO the
door and strobe into the house.
"What do you want? asked the woman
in resolute tone.
81 want something to eat" was the re-
ply, land j want it right off, too"
Whereupon Widow Bailey stepped into
an adjoining room, returned in moment
with big revolver that was cooked, lifted
it TO her eye. sighted it at the tramp, and
said tersely: you get out" The tramp
made a feint to buster, but evidently
didn't fancy the black muzzle of the
weapon that confronted him, and he
backed ont OF the house, saying, "Pll be
back here later with my gang and do you
up"
Mrs. Bailey locked the door, set the
lamp on the table near her, took a seat at
her kitchen window, and waited several
hours for her appointment with "the
gang" Finally, at about midnight, the
tramp returned and undertook to set fire
TO the house, but Mrs. Bailey opened a
window, thrust pistol across the win
dow-ledge. and invited her visitor TO retire
again. He retired. Mrs. Bailey is now
famous in the whole river valley.

FLIRTING WITH THE PREACHER.
Remarkable Incident mt Covenanter
Church Gathering In New York.

The Rev. Mr.. Milligan of Pennsylvania,
who is a candidate for the pastorate of the
covenanter church in the little hamlet OF
Coldenham, in Orange county. says a
Kingston correspondent of the New York
World, and who was invited TO deliver a
trial sermon there last Sunday, startled
the congregation in the midst OF the deliv-
cry of the sermon by saying:
al regret to state that i am an exceed
ingly nervous man, and am annoyed by a
young lady in the congregation who has
been endeavoring to flirt with me this
morning. have neither the time nor in
clination to return the compliment at this
time, but may do so later"
These words fell like athunderbolt upon
the covenanters, mofe especially as this
departure from theology WIS made while
the eyes OF the pastor were steadfastly
fixed on those of blushing young lady
who is noted for her good looks and is re-
garded as the belle of Coldenham.
When the services were finished there
was a lively busting of dresses down the
church aieles and out into the country
road, and more than one fair Coldenham
damsel was willing to accept the pastor s
rebuke as a personal allusion. Neyerthe-
less the episode has had a tendency to
popularize Pastor Milligan, and the
chances point toward his becoming the
permanent preacher at the little Orange
county covepanter church.

THE euTeNeeRo BIBLE.
A Rare Old Treasure on Exhibition Mt

Chicago.
tChlcsro Evening Post.l
The Gutenberg bible Is here. The two
leather bound. brass-trimmod volumes in
closed in glass case are among the other
art treasures at the Art institute. The
biblo will remain here indefinitely. IL
being the desire OF the owner 10 enable the
greatest possible number OF people TO see
what Is really one OF tho greatest of art
treasures aside from the associations II
possesses with the learned and the good OF
past ages.
One OF tho volumes is closed so as TO
show the heavy leather binding and the
ponderous brass bosses, 10 which, I'M
doubtedly, the excellent preservation Of
the binding is in large part due.
The other volume is open at Martin
Luther's favorite psalm, the forty-sixth,
which begins with the words in the En-
glish version: "Our God Ia very pres
ent help in time of trouble; there viii we
not fear, though the earth be removed
and though the mountains be carried into
the midst of the sea-" 1t is on this psalm
that Martin Luther's ringing hymn "Ein
Feste Burg ist Unser Colt" is founded, n
hymn that has been translated into almost
every language in the world
The two pages Of the book that lie open
give an excellent idea of the whole char
acter of the work as an example OF the art
of printing. The type is the block letter
gothic character, very large. The imprint
is perfectly clear and even. The two col
umns on each page are separated, not by
line, as in modern works, but by wide
space, third as wide as margins on either
side. The first letter OF the psalm is an
illuminated capital, beautifully done in
elegant shades OF green and gold. Along
the inner margin OF the page and at the
bottom are conventionalized flowers and
plants and picture Of man dressed in
skins attacking n fierce-looking lion with a
club. The colors are delicate shades of
purple. green and gold and look as bright
and fresh "a if they had just come from
the limners brush.
On the left-hand page as the book lies
open three lines of the last column are in
manuscript done in red ink, but in the
same size and style OF character as the i'm
print.
One cannot look at these two volumes
and notice the care and thoroughness with
which every detail OF the work about
them is done without feeling that old
John Gutenberg of Mainz was n man who
put his conscience in his work. No won
der the book has been reverently pre-
served and that its pages now are as clean
and untarnished as when they first came
from that quaint and clumsy press on
which they were printed
The book arrived yesterday afternoon
by express from New York, packed up
with all the care that could be bestowed
on one of the most precious things in the
world. The insurance on it might have
been the ransom Of prince in the days
when the work was printed. Early this
morning it was taken to the Art institute.
The fact tina. it was there soon became
known, and before noon large number
OF people interested in works and treas
ures Of that kind had called to see it.
Considered o. work of art it is peculiarly
appropriate that it should be placed in the
Art institute.
