Odds and ends of furniture suitable
for filling up vacant corners in country
houses are receiving a great deal OF at
tentiOn just now from women who are
looking forward to all early fitting to
shore and mountains.

are fortunate in that they escape great
deal of wearing work and many unlll-
terestlng details. But, on the other
hand, they miss the delight which the
average woman finds in 'putterlng," IN
making a very little money buy great
many things by dint of much trotting
about, in pulling around her household
effects until she succeeds in arranging
them in groups that are satisfactory
from an artistic point of view.
1t is this average woman who is
making the rounds Of the bric-a-brae
shops, haunting auctions, and buying
up desirable remnants.
1lere are great many ATTRACTIVE
things in the shops that make pennies
burn holes in her pocket. OF first i'm
portance after the ordinary practical
pieces of furniture are the screens.
There have been some important
changes and notifications in that grace
full article since its fatal facilities for
concealment first recommended 1t to
keepers of lodging houses. All sorts OF
materials are now used in its cOnstruc-
ton. its graceful lines follow all kinds
of designs. all manner of places claim
it as a decoration. 1t is as much at
home in the nursery as in the drawing
room, on the Veranda as in the dressing
room.
Among draught screens there are
several new shapes. One forms COM
binatiOn cabinet and screen. Its frame
work is either white enamel draped with
POmpadOur silk, or rosewood, hung with
willow green. according to the apart
ment for which it is designed. The
shelves which spring from the middle
wing are light and make good recep-
tac!es for small books or any of the
smaller pieces of bric-a-brac with which
modern rooms are always numbered.
Another screen consists only of two
wings-One fitted up with shelves, the
other furnished with a dozen pockets
into which photographs can be slipped.

ture for girls own rOom," the two
upper shelves offering an opportunity

woman with a number of rooms to
make ready for summer guests has
turned her back on silk and tissue paper
and has made effective shades for her

Another pretty use to which these
handkerchlefs (Which are not especially

A POOR MOTHER.

Happy as a Queen" Has No
Meaning for Her.
New York Press.
The pathos that necessarily attaches
to the life of an infant monarch has
been int nSified in the case of the baby
king of Spain by the news of plot di-
rected against his innocent life. Who,
even among the children of the
poor, need envy this little crowned
baby. whose life. from his very
cradle, is Swallowed by dangers from
which less highly placed children are
exempt, and whose future, even if he eS-
capes the perilS that menace him, must
be one of constant anxiety, ceremony,
responsibility and isolation?
1t is pitiful to think OF the poor little
fellow playing with his toys, in blissful
ignorance OF his position and all that it
entails, while strong men are con-
spring against the infant life, mere
ly because it stands as the SYM
Dol of form of government to
which they are opposed. To Queen
Christfana the hearts of all true women
will turn with new sympathy. Her in
tense devotion to the little Alfonso has
endeared her to very many beyond the
limits of her own country, and it will be
learned with general regret that to her
constant SOlicitude for her sons health
is added the keen anxiety with which
she must have been filled by the news
of the political danger with which his
life has been threatened

BERLIN. May 29.-The council at
Gelenau, Saxony, having discovered
that one of their number named li0tf-
man had never been married by relig-
ious ceremony, seized upon this preteXt
to practically eXpel him. He was not
popular among his fellows. They there
fore refused to allow II0ffman's vote to
be recorded on any question that came
before the body. Hoffman appealed TO
the high court of justice of SaXony,
which just rendered a decision in the
case holding that. a civil marriage being
valid in law, Hoffman had committed
no act which would disQuslify him from
sitting as a member of municipal
council. The town fathers of Gelehau
are accordingly ordered to admit HotT
man to full share of their delibera-
tons and action so long as the term for
which he is elected lasts.

dence of Melville Tollen, a young and
prosperous farmer, who has called upon
her frequently within the last year, and
in the presence of his parents, asked
him if he intended to carry out his
promises and marry her. Young Toll
len, who is much younger than her, re-
piled:

shots were fired. One went through his
coat and the fifth struck him i'll the

prove fatal. Miss Burns escaped.

CHICAGO, May 23.-The committee APP

charges made against the National

o'clock this morning and signed the
following report: I'VE find the gen

pany TO give general satisfaction where
in actual operation. as appears from the
evidence of those coming before US. but
weido not feel that the financial stand
ing is commensurate with the magnl-
tude of the enterprise"
A member of the committee said the
report approved the plan of the National
Union company, but rather disproved
the working of the plan i'll this state.
The committee concluded that the COM
pany was straight enough, but that its
affairs had been badly mismanaged.
The charges that the company was a
part OF or was operated by the COrdage
trust were not considered at all.

BERLIN. May 29.-Details of Emin
Pasha's latest journey from Zanzibar to
the African interior, written by DR..
Stuhlmann, have been received here.
The writer says Emin desired to ex-
plore the primeval forest rather than to
return to Wadelai. Owing to lack of
victuals the carriers were compelled to
retreat, and disease and famine laid the
expedition open to frequent native
attacks. Finally smallpox broke out,
and this last difficulty compelled Emin
in December to send Stuhlmann in adj
vance with the healthy members of the
caravan. Much valuable scientific and
geographical knowledge has been gained
by the expedition. 1t appears to be
certain that the MfumbirO mountains,
which Stanley annexed for England,
are really west of the thirtieth meridian,
and therefore belong to Congo state.
