Wall Paper Effects.

The dado Of wall paper is little used at
present, and is not needed except in large
rooms with high ceillngs A deep wains-
coting Of hard wood, or movable hanging
fastened by hooks to a rail or molding,
are honest and seryiceable, and should DO
employed when such horizontal division Of
the wall space Is desirable.
The frieze still remains In favor and re-
tains its place in nearly all schemes of wall
decoration. Its width depends, of course,
on the height of the room, and, with the
dado or watnscoting, II aids in modifying
the unnecessary height of the ordinary
modern room. The lowering Of the ceiling
In many Of the new houses will have the
effect Of narrowing these finishing bands
into the old fashioned borders, or of dis.
placing them altogether. Where natural
forms In decoration are desired, frieze of
flock paper with a boldly painted design
may be used above the door spaces In
panels. A trailing spray of white roses on

wEB
Abe spider can have nothing to eat. To
prevent such an accident requires its con.
slant attention, and like the captain of a
ship the brave little animal takes up its
position in the centre Of its silken home
and remains there until the "blow" Is
over. Here the spider is in full control.
Tho middle of the web is the central station
to which all news relating to its glistoninu
domain IL sent Every vibration, even ut
the most distant point, Is instantly tele-
graphed to headquarters. and II the news
be OF vital Importance, the spider leaves for
the scene OF danger Mt once. There IL may
lnd that n strand has broken loose which,
unless instantly repaired, will completely
ruin the web.
But sometimc9 the accident is Of such a
nature that to repair the damage calls for
considerable ingenuity. For instance, the
lower part OF the web is often fastened TO a
weed. When the wind begins to blow the
weed gently bows its head, and the danger
to the web becomes very great; another
bow more lowly than before and the strands
snap, leaving the web Tapping like sail
In wind. The spider hurries down, but
everything ia in confusion the broken
strands are flying in all directions. To
fasten them to the weed again is out of the
question, and yet something must be done,
and done Mt once. Well, this Is the way
one little spider solved the difficulty. It
quickly lowered itself to the ground and
procured u small chip OF wood around
which it fastened thread. 1t then hung
this to the lower part Of the web with a
strong silken cable.
The effect was wonderful. 1t kept the
web firm, and yet gave" enough to yield
to the wind. Accidentally it was knocked
of, but the spider recovered it and hung it
as before. The web suffered no further In
jury although the wind blew very hard.
Some spiders use very small stone in
stead Of a chip OF wood, and even fasten
the weight to web which Is five or six
feet from the ground

r. King, gets his sobriquet from his hair,
which Is 30 light that It Is almost silver

Introducing Queens-

Mr. E. A. Morgan, Of Wisconsin,
writing in The Bee Keepers Review,
recommends In introducing queens the
plan of first caging the removed queen q
few minutes In the cage that is to bo
used In combining the new queen. The
theory is that the old queen leaves a
scent in the cage that the bees recognize
and thus mistake the now queen for
their former sovereign. Mr.. Morgan
stops up the entrance TO the cage with
good candy and allows tho bees to at
once begin tho work, eating out the
candy. Ho says he has practiced this
method three years, sometimes in terri
bic dearth, and never lost queen. He
often found a queen laying in three
hours from tho time that tho old queen
was removed,

Later trials with seed cut lengthwise
of the potato showed that system was the
most economical of any tried. The Ohio
station, In commenting on the above,
says its own experiments are In general
accord with 1t. The largest crops have
come from whole seed, but the most
profitable crops have come from large
cuttings, Mr.. Z. 8. Carman's expert
ments led him to the conclusion that the
size Of the seed to be planted should be
determined by the habits OF the variety,
and not by any fixed rulc. He considers
the advice to use whole seed as bad, for
while with some varieties it may bo
sound, with others it will result In small
tubers every time. He advocates large
pieces containing two or three eyes as a
good general rulo.

Interesting Results from Potato Trials.

From the results of potato raising de-
rived from the experience of specialists
and the tests made at the various expert

to be little occasion to doubt that light
seeding for the potato crop is followed by
far smaller crop than the use Of large
seed would give. Director Sanborn, now
Of the Utah station, summarizes the av-

his own on two college farms of the east

AN HOSPITAL SUFFERER

Bob Muldroom, the unfortunate man
who was so seriously stabbed with a st-
letto at the Warren live stock ranch on
Pole creek d few DAYS ago, an account of
which appeared exclusively in The
LEADER the morning a~fterwari, was seen
by a reporter for this paper yesterday at
the county hospital.
Muldroom reiterated the story of the
bloody affair as detailed in the The
LEADER. He was lying upon a single
couch, which resembles those used IN the
army, and around hun were numerous
other unfortunate men suffering from
various causes.
Muldroom said that he had been
stabbed with a s%tIletto, as told by The
LEADER, but told many more interesting
facts in the case.
Il did not think that there was
really any danger Of my opponent using a
deadly weapon upon me, as he talked so
much, but the old stereotyped story that
a barking dog never bites has for once
failed. 1t seems that Hubbard had pre-
meditated his bloody work aud was only
