vestibule Drapery.

One of the most delightful effects in
vestibule draping is obtained by the use
of lace and silk combined. For this
purpose take a length of draping lace
with both edges alike, and about three
eighths of a yard in width, and tack it in
the center of the glass door; then take
India silk of any harmonious tint, and
shirr 1t on to the slender brass rods,
which come for the purpose, hanging it
on each side of the lace panel; for broad,
low windows, this is equally effective.
The Japanese Kailsisnonos, painted on
holting cloth or thin silk, make artistic
substitutes for lace, and are even newer,

Need of Strong and Vigorous Purpose In
Newspapers.
Newspapers are more interesting than
they used to be and more refreshing. We
meet in our daily walks so much that is
depressing, give us in our family news

satire, caricatures of the worlds foibles
and looking-glasses in which to see our
failings. Yes, give place occasionally
to the much-abused pun. Those onlv
despise the pun who cannot make one.
Take the quill. and after you have made
the split in it, sharpen it down until
the point is keen enough to puncture
the toughest inconsistency. let the
sheet be fresh and healthy, in it a smell
of a cedar and new-cut grass. Let no
hear in the rhythm of some of the SEN
fences the moan of an untravelled wood
and the sweep of the wing of a part

stale imagery, crush against the printed
leaf bunch of huckleberries and
sumac. We are tired out with all this
about the nightingale; for pity's sake
catch for us brown. thresher and LET
us hear hen cluck. Instead of riding
Bucephalus to death, halter that sorrel
colt. Talk not so much to us about

$4,000 or More.
The big hail storm which struck this
section Sunday afternoon seems TO have
extended from Flushing, o., to Clays-
Vile, Pa, distance Of thirty-live miles.
All along the track and for width of
from three to five miles, its path was
marked by damaged orchards, wrecked
hot-bedS, broken windows and torn and
twisted roofs. News received yester-
day from q number Of points in Bel
mont, Ohio, and Washington counties,
served but to enlarge the story so
graphically told in yesterdays REGIS
TER, the readers OF which
eagerly perused the exclusive
details gathered by our re
porters. Two or three hundred boxes
of glass were used up in dwellings alone
at Martins Ferry, yesterday, and a
great deal at st. ClairSville and other
points.
As stated in the REGISTER yesterday,
the loss north of this city, between the
top" mill aud Glenn's run, will foot
up s., 900. A gardner said yesterday
This storm illustrates anew the I'M
certainty of farming and gardening.
Last year we caught late frost, and
were done up. Now, when everything
was promising, and we were making
special effort to recoup ourselves and
get even, along comes a storm, smashes
up all our hot-beds and destroys the
finest lot Of plants we have had for ten
years. 1t is discouraging."
nan estimate Of the glass broken In
Martins Ferry alone puts the number
of lights at 10000. Among the heavy
losses in this way were the following:
George w. Truxell, 3, 500 panes; Buck
eye Glass Company, 1900; l.. Spence "
Son, 500; Spence, Bags & Co., $50;
Northwood Glass Works. 400; VIM.
Mann's found ny, 10; McDermott Tool
Works, 10; Bayless House, 100; A. w.
Harris, (green house,, 5000; school
buildings, go; Elson Glass Works, $50.
In number Of instances tin roofs
were punctured by the force of the big
hail stones. Aside from the loss by
broken glass, the water which was swept
in by the wind at the broken windows
soaked carpets. beds, wall paper, cur
tains, etc, and this, with the buckets
full OF hail and quarts Of SCOT which
came down chimneys made an awful
mess in scores and scores OF homes.
This situation applies TO all other places
within the track Of the storm as well as
Martins Ferry, and the aggregate OF
the loss. discomfort aud annoyance may,
perhaps, be imagined.
