THE WALLS or THE HOUSE.
7iow co slake Them Cheer ul and Home
Itlre.


How TO sIake Them Cheer 'ul and Home
like.
It is very important that the walls OF
the house we live in are pleasing and
pleasant to us, as we need to be cheer
ed and rested by that which meets our
gaze hour after hour in our home life.
There have been decided changes i'll
this respect within few years
Formerly room once papered would
last nearly lifetime, and now for
sanitary aad other reasons it is custom
ary to change paper frequently. But
even then the paper that lasts for a
briefer time should be carefully chosen,
and all necessary requirements kept
continually in mind.
The rolled wall paper is a compara-
lively modern introduction. Paper
formerly came in square sheets and
was pasted together before being
printed. This was clumsy to handle.
The paper has improved much in quail
ity and beauty with the years. Those
who have given the matter little atten-
ton will hardly realize the changes
that have recently been made.
The correct paper for the library or
dining-room is tapestry paper, which
presents all the soft, rich effects of the
old-time tapestries and gives the room
a cosy, comfortable atmosphere.
The wide frieze is going by. 1t is
entirely out of place with the elaborate
papers now in use. The molding for
the hanging Of pictures is absolutely
essential, and is made in very beautiful
and varied styles. The dining-room
that is finished in oak will have an oak
molding.
The papers for the parlor are OF the
old-time type, large vases of flowers,
wreaths and lavish designs in soft tints
brought out by white and gold. This
paper in the smaller styles and little
darker colors, is used for the sitting
room or living-room.
The cham ber papers have large floral
designs in light colors, and soft shades
of olive, terra Gotta, etc. Among the
chamber papers are what is known as
chintz papers that sell for 81. so a roll
The sanitary wall papers finished in oil
that sell for seventy-fve cents roll
are shown.
Many English papers are imported
They are two inches wider than the
American papers. Papers may be
bought at almost any price, varying
from five cents roll to twenty-five or
thirty dollars.
There is mica finish paper for halls,
that recalls olden days, although it is
entirely new and unlike anything
formerly shown.
The nursery papers introduce charm
ing designs, and are excellent for their
purpose of Frightening the children's
homes. Bath room papers that may be
washed off are shown in tile designs.
Some of these are the brilliant French
tiles, and others the pretty quiet old
blue and white Dutch tiles These
papers also come as sanitary papers at
seventy-fve cents roll
The leather papers with their heavy
embossed effects for dining rooms, and
their fine stamped designs for parlors
are shown in great variety. They sell
at three dollars and half or six dollars
per roll.
A little consideration of the subject
will be certain to make many feel that
they can well afford to make changes
in the wall paper of their homes. -

THE MUSK OK.
An Animal With the characteristics of
Different Families.

An animal WIN CnarACterlSt1C6 OF
Different Families.
In systematic ZOOLOGY the place ac-
corded to the musk OK is the intermedi-
ate between those of the sheep (Ovis)
and the OK (Bos), and for its special ac-
commodation genus has been created,
"Ovibos." Most writers notice it's re-
semblance in many ways to the buffalo
or bison, and it undoubtedly has much
affinity with this species A peculiar
prominence is given in early records to
the description of the horns of the
musk OK, which, though valuable to the
Eskimos in the making of such COM
modities as cups, spoons ETC., by no
means seem to be of so much impor-
tance, yet in every account the most
minute particulars of these appendages
is repeated Doubtless much of the
character of the musk OK depends on
the horns; still, should be noted that
the descriptions above referred to ap-
ply only to the bull whose horns
meet on the forehead, bend sharply
down, and curve gracefully up
ward and outward; the cows horns are
more similar to those of the bison, or
even be compared to the horns of our
over domestic cattle. The skull of the bull
musk OK is remarkable for the develop
ment of the eye-orbits, which project
sufficiently beyond the plane of the
frontal bones to compensate for the in
terruption the horns would otherwise
make in the range of vision. The
musk OK, however, does not seem
to rely greatly on keenness of
sight, far less on acuteness of hearing,
for the ears are of small dimension,
and are completely covered by the
heavy growth of fur about them. The
organs of scent are evidently more
highly developed and they exact of the
hunter his greatest cunning Vasey
says the footprints resemble those of
the barren-ground caribou so closely as
to easily deceive the unaccustomede eye,
and concludes short description of the
under parts of the foot with the illus,
tration here produced The external
hoof is rounded the internal pointed.

Death of John A. Helm.

VI OOul is
John A. Helm was born in
Beutelsbach, Kingdom of Wurt-
umburg, Germany, May 20, 1901,
and died at his home three miles
east of GAINESVILLE, Muskingum
county, on Feb, 8. 1891, being so
years. months and IS days old.
He was twice married in Ger
many, and once in America. By
the first marriage were two child
rem after which the wife died, and
he then married an older sister of
the first wife. BY this union were
four children, two being born in
Germany. The older one died
while on the ocean and was cast
into the sea. The second one was
eleven weeks old when the father
embarked for America in 1882 She
is the wife of one Martin Blume, a
prominent farmer living near Ft.
Wayne, Ind. Mrs. Samuel Carey
is the first of his children born in
America. John A. Helm jr., the
youngest child by this marriage, is
a prominent business man of Ian
caster, o., harness dealer by oc-
.cupation.
The second wife of the deceased
died in 1854 and in 1866 he married
"a Miss Elizabeth WilmOn who still
survives him. There were twelve
children by this union ten of whom
are still living six boys and four
girls, the youngest child being but
eighteen years old. These six boys
average six feet in height and will
tip the beam at 200 pounds each.
He first settled in Tuscarawas
county and from thence he moved
to Hooking county. He moved
once to Missouri and once to Ill
inois, but at neither place did he re-
main great length of time. He
lived fifteen years in Monday Greek
township. Perry county, Ohio, and
from thence in 1867 he moved on
the farm where he died. He was
the husband of three wives, the
father of eighteen children, and
lived on both continents. He was
a member of the Lutheran church.
The funeral was held in the En-
glish Lutheran church in Zanes-
willie on February 10, at y O'clock,
and was conducted by Rev. Rich
ards. The text used on occasion
was taken from Gen. XIV; part of
i8th verse. "Died in a good old age,
an old man, and full of years and
vas gathered to his people" His
remains were laid to rest in the
Greenwood cemetery there to await
the resurrection in the last day.
There is left to mourn his loss a
wife, thirteen children, twenty
two grandchildren and twenty
three great grandchildren. Of all
this number nineteen live in this
vicinity. He has brother up in
the eighties and had sister die a.
bout a year ago who was near
ninety. He was man of consid-
cradle means and had many friends
in GAINESVILLE and vicinity.

for the purpose of drawing attention

A singular thing about the alliance
nominations this year, says the Topeka
Capital, is the fact that the only office
for which lawyers are not nominated is
the legal office of county attorney, while
for congress and for state offices lawyers
are in hot demand. There seems to be
some occult and mysterious reason why
attorneys are regarded as fitted for every
office in the category except those requir-
ing legal equipment and training. But
it would be vain task to endeavor to
unravel the intricate processes by which
the pOpulists arrive at their conclusions.
