The Decorative Craze.

Under the rule and inspiration Of the
art decorator, curious confusion and
introversion of ideas has come to pass.
Instead of a room being the reflection of
the person who mostly lives therein,
(which should make the sight of a room,
even more than that of PERSONS friends,
be true index of character), the room
is now looked upon as the ruling guide.
The owner must live up, dress up, to the
room; she must try to harmonic with
the room instead of her room being
brought into harmony with her. In
fact, she is Ike person who has bought
a particular picture frame and must
strive to find some picture that will fill
it fairly well.
A woman's room should be her frame,
which completes and perfects the picturs
of her individuality; but in the schemes
of the art decorator she is mere acct
dent of no account, and he would design
a pompadour boudoir for Lady Macbeth
or Greek music room for Becky Sharp,
wherein to sing Yvette Guilbert's latest
success to the Marquis of Steyne, with
out Qualm rufding his serene self sat
isfaction. The genre atelier was one of
the modes of this craze for domestic
decoration, which was perhaps the most
ludicrous, when estimable souls who
knew no more Of painting than cat
does of case of pistols thought it neces-
sary to establish easels about their rooms,
and even went so far as to hang palettes
ready "set" for painting on their walls

Tho Speed of Elevators.

With the modern elevator almost any
speed desired can be obtained; it all de-
ponds on the power used and the dis
lance Travelled. In building which has
a shaft of $50 feet speed of from $50 to
1000 feet minute can be obtained. On
a rise of 100 feet it is easy to get speed
Of $50 feet per minute with a weight Of
1000 pounds aboard the elevator. In
New York the fastest elevators are in
the Union Trust company's building on
Broadway, near Wall street. They shoot
up or down, carrying 5000 pounds, at a
speed Of 600 feet minute. When tested
with lighter weights they have travelled
from 800 to 900 feet in minute.
But the average speed of elevators in
Office buildings in and around New York
is 800 feet minute. 1t is best adapted
for work, and experience has demon
strated that more passengers can be car
ried daily in car going at that speed in
the ordinary large building than any
other The increase iii the size of ele-
vators is in keeping with improvement
in other directions.-Chicago Journal of
Commerce.

An Incident in an Engineers Life,

Far, far down the track is dark spot.
over which hovers great cloud. The
engineer sees it, hauls out his watch,
chances at it, then resumes the business
of looking out of the window. He was to
meet an east bound freight at that point.
He did not know if the switches were in
place; he did not know but the passen-
ger train would dash into that freight
and the death Of many people follow.
There was no way for him to know ex-
cept that it was the duty of his fellow
employees to see that the switches wers
right. He did not slacken his speed.
Rapidly the huge mogul on the side
track doomed up. A roar and dash
and No. 81 few past the waiting freight,
passing within three feet.-Chicago

Signs of Spring in q City.

Signs of Spring I'm . City,
The present forward weather seems
to be great season for the small boy.
He gets more solid enjoyment out of the
warm days and the dry sidewalks than
the street cleaning department of the
BOARD of public works. Every small boy
who is anybody down ON the heights has
a pair of roller skates and good strong
pair of lungs. These boys play hockey
on the asphalt pavement of that exclu-
sive quarter, catch rides on the backs Of
grocery wagons and keep up constant
and eternal yelling. Why they yell does
not appear. It is perhaps because q
small boy cannot do much Of anything
without yelling. These boys go scurry-
ing around corners on their skates in i'm
minent danger of cracking their own
skulls and to the great terror of passers
by. They dodge under the heads of spir-
tied coach horses and altogether make a
fresh and healthy nuisance Of them
selves.
Those poorer boys who are not wealthy
enough to afford each pair OF roller
skates, split up pair between two and
go about pushing the wheeled foot in
front of them, evidently having as
much fun as the rest. The whipping
top is also now much in vogue, and the
tops and the rollers make life burden
to the nursemaids with their perambu-
lators and babies and the policeman on
the corner.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Measles EIore Fatal Than Influenza,

The mortality from measles exceeds
anything that can thus far be directly
attributed to influenza 1t appears that
over $4,000 deaths from measles occur
annually in England and Wales. and the
rate of mortality has greatly increased
during the last decade. Why do we
take no account of it? Because, l sup
pose, measles is most fatal to infants,
whereas influenza chiefly carries off the
aged. We all of us expect to grow old,
but we can none of Us hope to be young
again. Yet the lie of healthy infant
is of more value than that of a sexage-
marian who has not strength to combat
the influenza nicrobe.-London Truth.

Il brave HIan.

Charles Mougenot, a young engineer
on board the ironclad Admiral Baudin,
has just had his right hand amputated
at the Toulon Military hospital as the
result of injuries received in the follow
ing remarkable manner: He was start
ing the engines on the vessel, In accord
ance with instructions, when his hand
caught in the machinery. TO have
withdrawn it at that particular moment
might have caused a serious accident to
the big ironclad and thus have endan-
gered the lives Of everybody On board
With extraordinary courage and sang
froid the brave fellow, who is only TWEEN
ty-one years of age, did not move until
all danger was averted, by which time
his hand was literally torn to pieces. He
will be recommended for the military
medal.-Gahgnani Messenger.

An American Absentee Landlord.

One Of the principal arguments ad-
vanced in favor Of deer forests is that
those who are able to indulge in that
luxury spend much money In the High
lands. But how # sportsmen insist on
maintaining forest grounds and never
visit them? Mr.. Winans, whose sport
ing territory extends from the Beauty
Firth to the Atlantic-froIn sea 10 sea,
in fact-has not shot over the land once
during the past four years, and as the
deer have in consequence multiplied
enormously, the crofters of the district
have resolved to ask the millionaire to
allow them days shooting.
The application is doubtless made
more with the view of bringing the
crofters' grievances before the public
than anything else, for it is sure to be
ignored. But the continued absence Of
Mr.. Winans raises q wider and more
question: Can the setting
aside of great stretch Of country as
deer forests which are never shot over
be justified on any ground whatevera-

Result of Deep Study.

A wealthy newspaper man who lives
m Brooklyn has six-year-old daughter
who possesses an alert and inqui1ing
mind Recently she has become close
student of the almanac. She keeps the
family posted ON the weather and IS well
informed regarding all of the church
days and the public holidays. One morn
ing she overheard her mother inquiring
whether the ashman was likely to make
his rounds that day. Before the servant
could reply the little girl piped up, ''Oh,
no, mamma, the ashman won't be here
until the I'd of March"
"Why, yes, my child, said the mother.
"he certainly must come today or tomor-
row."
"But he can't" persisted the little ona
"'cause that is bis day."
"What do you mean, dearr' asked the
mother, somewhat puzzled.
"Here it is in the almanac" said the
child. 'See, March is Ash Wednes-
day."-New York Times.

A Pertinent Query.

It may be pertinent to ask why, in the
name of all that is reasonable, is it any
more dangerous to society for woman
to neglect certain wifely duties once in
cluded within her sphere of action than
for man to shirk all home responsible
tiles except that of growing about the
things the woman leaves undone? Now,
In the humble homes which the man
writer and lecturer extols so eloquentiy,
where the ideal wife looks well to the
ways of her household, the husband
kindles the fires, sweeps the walks,
splits the kindlings, brings up the coal,
does the marketing and lends hand on
Mondays.
Who kindles the fires in the city
households?
The maid servant
Who scrubs the stoop and pavement
The man servant.
Who mends the broken lock or re-
duces the refractory hinges2
The locksmith.
Who does the marketing and settles
the bills and hears the growing because
they are larger than they were last week?
The wife.
What particular use is the city hus-
band in the household anyway?
''Just to pay for things and find fault"
one exasperated wife says.
And why is it so much more to be de-
plored that the wife doesn't do her own
cooking if she can earn more money at
something else than that the man should
not make his own trousers and split the
kindlings evenings instead of going to
his club?-New York Sun.

An Auusin1 Trick.

Select boy who will be easy to man
age and seat him at table with COB
let between his teeth. Now tell him 10
groan and make other doleful sounds,
still keeping the glass between his teeth
This part of the performance having
passed off, say to him, II think, my
friend, that the results would be more
satisfactory if should cover your head
with this towel Accordingly his head
is then enveloped in a cloth on which
two marks have been previously made
with charcoal to represent the eyes.
Care must be taken that the glass is still
kept between his teeth.
When all is ready he is told TO con
tinue to make the sounds he had made
before. If all goes well the resonance
Of the sounds, amplified by the presence
of the glass and the curious aspect Of
the boy, will form combination quite
sufficient to please the most exacting.-

An American Composer in England.

America is not generally looked upon
as the home of composers, but possibly
this is rather due to the narrowness of

achievements as song writer deserve
