Bedroom Furnishing.

In no apartment in the house,
saws Furniture and Decoration, is
such simple taste so welcomed and
appropriate as in the bedroom.
Here there should ever be an Dir OF
quiet and repose and n complete
absence of all obtrusive decorations
and assertive colors. An air OF
subdued harmony should invest the
entire apartment, and walls, ceiling,
floor coverings, wood work and
hangings should NIL be selected so as
to unite all together and form a
peaceful tout ensemble.
Various schemes of decoration OF
course permit the employment OF O
variety of woods for furniture OF the
bedroom. Where delicate olive green's
or subdued blues prevail upon the
walls, etc, it is well to employ dark
colored mahogany or rosewood.
Where rose color or warm yellow or
salmon is preferred, then the intro
duction OF an ivory white enameled
suite would be most desirable, and so
on in like manner with the rest oil
the furniture woods it is absolutely
necessary to maintain q sympathetic
coloring on the walls, etc, II a restful
and tast eful effect is to be accom-.
plished. The repetition Of this truism
may perhaps, seem superhuous to
some OF ourreaders, but it is aston.
fishing how frequently it Is violated.

HUMANE SOCIETY WORK.
What Has Been Done in One Year
to Punish Cruelty,


to Punish Cruelty.
The Minneapolis Humane society held
its annual meeting yesterday. The re-
port of President Cheney set forth that
the society stands in need of another
agent. The work of the society has
grown SO rapidly that Agent Tatro is
unable to attend to all of it. He says
that the society also needs an ambulance
for the handling of animals that
have been Injured but not killed.
lie also mentioned the need
of legislation for the better
protection of children who are subject
o ill-treatment. AS it is now, an action
for the cruel treatment of child must
be brought as assault and battery.
There is no law or ordinance covering
collaborating. Treasurer John Day
Smith reported that S932.25 had passed
through his hands during the year, leav-
ing balance of 5000. Financial Sec
rotary George r. Nimmons reported
that he had handled S2.03366. He has q
balance of S224. 43, making total bal
ance OF SS05.S3. Agent Tatro has in
vestigated 500 complaints. OF these
forty-two were provided with good
homes, several were sent to the state
public school at Owatonna and more
were sent out OF the city to friends. In
all cighty-slX children have been pro-
vided for. He has shot ninety-two in.
lured horses and taken care of los more.
He has looked after eighty horses that
nave been starved. In all ways GOT
horses were cared for and siXty-elght
COWS. not to mention the dogs and fowls
which had their miseries relieved. Dur
ing the year he caused twenty-siX ar
rests to be made, and of the whole num-
Der nineteen were convicted. The
society decided to dispense with the
services of treasurer. giving his work
to the financial secretary. The election
of officers resulted:

there was but little business before
them. The award of the contract for
the county printing for the present year

judgment books made. The Mime
