Mrs. Oscar yyilde,s Dining Room.

A new scheme for dining room decora

from fourteen to sixteen inches below the
ceiling. Blue and white plates, of the will

Mrs. Oscar Wildes home near the Chelsea
embankment is said to be one of the most
original. The dining room, instead of being
like any other is in white, with the shell

Only such pieces of furniture as are abso-
lutely necessary are allowed here. The
study is all decidedly Pompeiian, with
blocks of marble bearing inscriptions let
into the wall. In the drawing room etch.
ings take the place of the marble tablets.
Quaint settees, with high, white backs and
sage green cushions, are conspicuous ar
ticles of furniture.
Mrs. Wilde herself is quite as original In
her dress as in her home. She is one of the
disciples of Mrs. Hancock's coming dress'
theory and may be seen in that peculiar
garb, which is sort of combination of the
divided skirt and Turkish trousers, made
of soft India cashmere, worn with a short
full under bodice and sleeves of terra Gotta
silk. Over this she wears little jacket of
black velvet resembling the Elton, with
sharp pointed fronts Black silk hose and
black buckled slippers complete her cos

Hymns to Quiet stampeding Herds.

"There is one popularity in reference to
cattle on the range that is known to few
save cattlemen," said r. S. Carton, of New
Mexico, (which helps us greatly in han
ding a large herd on the trail. When a
lot of cattle are gathered up there is al
ways danger of night stampede, and il
this occurs it is very serious matter, for
not only will the herd become greatly scat
tered, bnt also many of the steers will die.
More timid animals than stampeded cattle
it is difficult to imagine, and once thor
oughly stampeded scores of them will run
until they drop dead in their tracks The
signs of an approaching stampede are fa-
miliar to every man who has been much
on the trail First few cattle will begin
to low, or rather to utter "a sort of roar.
All through the herd single animals will
get up and begin to move around. The
Others become restless, and if something is
not done to check them the whole herd
will within a short time be rushing head
long over the plain.
"The most soothing influence that can
be exerted is the human voice, and when
these ominous mutterings are heard every
one on night watch begins to sing. 1t may
we'll be imagined that cowboy music would
have anything but quoting effect upon
musical ears, but it amply satisfies the cat
tie AS soon as songs are heard the nerv-
GUS animals become quiet. One by one
they lie down and soon all are at rest, fair
ly sung to sleep. A peculiar feature of the
singing is that every cowboy, no matter
how rough and lawless, knows variety of
hymns, and it is with church music that
the stampede is prevented" st. Louis

Who Owns the Countryi

We boast Of our republic. We say
it is the only country under the heavens
where man can enjoy full freedom and
equal rights. We say our government
is OF the people, by the people, and for
thepeople. We point to Great Britain,
with her landed interests in the hands OF
a few, and with her titled aristocracy,
and exclaim: How different from our
own free, beautiful republicl Well,
who owns our country? 1t is but a
little over a hundred years old. 1t is
aninfant compared with Great Britain.
Who OWNS it? The people, you say.
Do they? Now look here. We have
200 who are worth an aggregate of
$4,000, OOO, 900. We have 400 who
are worth an aggregate ofS4,O DOC, 900
600, or more; and altogether we have
81, 100 who possess $50, $50, 1000, 900.
Now the estimated wealth of thecoun-
try is S6O,OOO,O DOC, 900, and 81, 200
persons own more than half OF it. 1t
is a startling array OF figures. When
in a nation OF 6O,OOO,000 people a
mere handful owns more than hall the
wealth, which the millions have pro-
duced, it Is time the people not only
began to think, but hat they put forth
a united effort o destroy the influences
which constantly tend to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer.
The farmer, in all Justice, shout be
the most prosperous and best fixed
man in the country. He feeds all; he
clothes all; he makes the foundation
OF prosperity. Yet he scarcely knows
how to make both ends meet. He is
not enjoying prosperity. It's the man
who produces nothing who becomes
enormously rich; it is the schemer who
~accumulates money; 1t is the money
lender, the railroad wrecker, the man
ufacturer, and the polite, polished
rascals who get all the money there is
at1oat. And this internal condition
OF affairs is the result of treachery on
the part of our legislators, and eve
OF courts OF Justice, to the peoples m
terest. The whole crowd needs shak-
ing up. We need shakingupourselves,
for the d~emagogue who legislates Tor

Why He Was Called Sitting Bull.

Sitting Bull was more OF n great
Sioux chieitain than a great warrior.
lie was a venerated medicine man, and
that made him an influential leader.
He gave out to his friends that he was
between 81 and 5S years OF age. How
he acquired the singular of
Sitting Bull is thus explained:
Early in life, according to the most
generally accepted story, while but a
lad in years, he killed a ~half-grown
buffalo. HedraGged the carcass many
wear miles to within a short distance
of his fathers tepee when he sank to
his knees exhausted, the head and fore
legs OF his prey dangling over his shout
ders. Hence the name OF Sitting Bull,
given, as all Indian names are, on the
spur OF the moment and with some
noteworthy occurrence as a basis.

A Horse ON the Pension Roll.

There is a horse in the United States
army on the retired list, drawing a
pension. It's a fact. The horse be-
longed to Capt. keogh, a near relative
of Gen. Custer, and is the only horse
which escaped the massacre in which
the general was killed. His name is
Comanche and he is stationed at Fort
Riley, Kansas, with the Seventh cav
alry-Custer's old regiment. His pen
sion is sufficient to pay for his trans
portation wherever he goes and TO pay
for his forage. lie is cared for by a
man who does nothing else. He is
saddled, bridled and equipped and led
out for inspection, yet no one sits i'll
the saddle. He has been much sought
after by showmen, but Uncle San says
no. He will be kept as life lasts and
after that will probably be prepared
and sent to the Smithsonian lnsti-
tute at Washington. When found,
Comanche WAS many miles away from
the scene OF the battle. lie had seven
wounds and was nearly exhausted
from loss OF blood.
