The Nsu French nIinister

Since the days of the Bourbons and the
war for Independence France, under
various governments, has been on friend
ly terms with the United States. There
fore the announcement that Errope's big
republic has resolved to change her
diplomatic representative at Washington
excites general interest and some inquiry
as to the personality of the new minister.
NJ. Roustan, the retiring incumbent, goes
to Madrid, and it is regarded as deli
cate compliment to America that he is
replaced by one of Frances ablest pub
lie men, NJ. Patenotre, who first came
into prominence as minister to Sweden
ten years ago. From there he was sent
to take charge of the legation at Pekin,
where he had, some time later, to fulfill
q mission of the greatest delicacy.
In 1885 he negotiated the Tien Tsin
treaty, which put an end to the compli-
cations between France and China, and
settled the Anam and Tonquin dispute,
besides overcoming the obstacles to the
delimitation of the new French posses
sions in Indo-China. Then he went to
Morocco, and secured from the sultan Of
that country a commercial treaty giving
to France advantages equal to those al
ready granted England. A Franco
American paper says; IN. Patenotre,
we do not doubt, will be welcomed at
Washington. He will do honor to our
native land, and contribute still more TO
strengthen the bonds of mutual esteem
and affection between the two great re-
nublics."

FLORAL BEDROOMS.

Charming Schemes of Color for Paper
Paint and Furniture.
Floral bedrooms have been an English
craze and have recently been adopted in
this country. The Decorator and Furnisher
gives the following suggestions in regard
to them:
The best decorative houses and wall pa
per stores keep paper and cretonne en-
suite, and toilet ware can also be had to
match.
A yellow poppy paper on satin ground,
with cretonne dado to harmonic, makes
a pretty arrangement. The cretonne dado
should be run around the room in order to
make break in the wall All the paint
should be cream The curtains and bed
spread should be of cretonne. The ceiling
paper should be yellow and white. All the
furniture should be covered with the Gre
tonne, and pale blue lilly" carpet makes
an appropriate finish to the decoration.
Another bedroom might have a wild rose
paper, with the Wild rose cretonne, and a
dull green silly" carpet. There are beau
tiful rose papers with cretonne to match in
yelloWs, pinks and reds A yellow and
white ceiling paper goes with either of the
above schemes.
Other schemes are blue and white pop
pies, sweet peas and forgetmenots, in all
of which cases cretonnes, paper, carpet and
chinaware may be obtained. To make the
rooms complete, small embroidered flowers
in washing silks should be in the corner of
all sheets, pieowcases, towels and toilet
covers

Jewel Embroidery,

The employment of imitation stones in
connection with embroidery and their use
upon fancy knickknacks is very popular
among skillful workers in decorative arts,
as they impsrt to such articles sparkling
effect which is very good if carefully man.
aged so as to gleam out Unexpectedly and
in unlocked for places. The jewels are in
a great variety of tints, and represent to-
pazes, both pink and yellow, emeralds,
rubies, sspphires, diamonds, opals and
aqua marines. Two holes are ready
pierced in each gem, by which it is sewed
on. A very fine needle should be used for
this purpose, but so tiny are the holes
that it is often necessary to pass the silk
through them without any needle at all.
The stitches which hold down the gems
should be as invisible as possible, and for
this reason it is advisable to choose fine
sewing silk which matches the color of the
stone as nearly as can be.
A mistake readily made is the mixing of
half dozen colors and kinds of stones
upon the same piece of embroidery. As a
general rule, the result is better when only
two sorts, or at most three, are employed,
and the uncut gems should not be used in
discriminatory with the cut jewels. The
former are generally considered more
suited to linen, sateen and oatmeal cloth,
the latter being better adapted to use upon
plush, silk, satin or velvet

Five Noble Sailing Vessels Engaged in .
Contest Of Speed
Five vessels sailed out Of San Fran

long race around Cape Horn and up the
Atlantic. At their head was the queen
Of sailing ships, the American four
masted bark Shenandoah, bound for
Liverpool with G, ,002 tons of wheat, the
largest cargo of the kind ever slowed in
a sailing vessel. She had been put in
fine trim, especially for this trial of speed,
but her commander, Captain Murphy,
was still little anxious at the start, as
accidents and unforeseen incidents have
much to do in deciding sailing race.
Her great rival is the British ship
Strathearn, Captain Robb. She is nearly
twenty-five years old, and was for years
the wonder of the western waters. She
beat all the steam vessels on hong runs

overshadowed her phenomenal time

the head, where it is pinned. The veil is
very transparent, and through its folds
every feature can be traced dirnly.
The moment the veil is adopted the girl
begins the use of paint. Her eyebrows and
lashes are made jet black, her cheeks a
vivid crimson and her lips as red as paint
can make them, and sort of arsenic paint
Is plastered all over the face TO make il
white. All this coloring seen through the
veil serves but to enchance the beauty,
though it looks garish when the veil is re-
moved. The eyes gain an added brillianey
from the contrast with the white or yash-

Turkish woman's outdoor costume. 1t IS

The purse shaped workbag, illustrated,
is a good example of this way of using
gems. One end is drawn up tightly and
finished with pair of large silk tassels,
the other is left straight and ornamented
with a row of tiny fancy tassels of various
colors. The bag itself is of rich crimson
velvet, lined with cream colored silk and
closed with two large ivory rings; the
straight end is decorated with four rows of
ieweled stars; at the bottom the jewels are
of two shapes, oval and round; they are
like pale aqua marines in color, and are ar
ranged around a yellow topaz, which forms
the center of the star; the first and third
rows are alike, and in these the rays of the
star are formed by eight long stitches Of
yellowish cream chenille, radiating from a
yellow topaz; the second row is similar,
but the chenille is pale blue instead of yell
low; the stars in each row alternate with
those in the preceding row.

wall all over This will take off all the
rough plaster. Then, il you have very
heavy paper TO put on, dissolve one pound
of good glue in pail Of boiling water and
apply with brush TO the whole surface to
