THE BED ARTISTIC.

There are nowadays clearly springs
and hair mattresses piled high in place
of the old feather beds, and as to stiff
white bed covers, pillow slips and
shams. false sheets and yalenciennes
trimming. monogrammed and ruff1ed
fneries there is a truce. They were
so slippery, so troublesome and so false
withal that the beds that have known
them shall know them no more forever.
They had always to be unplnned ana
unlocked before the sleeper could en-
ter his bed, and they were the torment
of the housemaid. They entailed a de-
gree of washing and ironing that was
endless, and yet many a young house
keeper thought them Indispensable.
The idea has gone out completely.
The bed now is made up with its
fresh linen sheets, its clean blankets
and its marseilles quilt, with square or
long pillows. as the sleeper fancies,
with bolster in plain linen sheath.
Then over the whole IS thrown light
lace cover lined with liberty silk. This
NAV be as expensive or as cheap as the
owner wishes. Spreads Of satin may
be used, covered with Chinese embroi-
derry or with patchwork designs. One
light ana easily aired drapery succeeds
the four or five pieces of unmanageable
linen. If the bed has a tester and
curtains of silk or chintz, the bed cover
ing should match in tint, and in very
pretty bedroom the walls should DC
covered with chintz or silk.-Decorator

UNUSUALLY LIVELY CHOIR.
DiscOrd Among the Singers Put the
Parson to Flight

Perhaps if the Rev. Lamb Agnus of
! Weeping Canon, \. NJ. knew as much
about church chOirS as he does now he
would not have attempted to start a
male choir at that place If the re-
ports of the Weeping Canon expert
ment are correct, Mr.. Agnus had but
recently left a theological school and
had more enthusiasm than practical
knowledge. but there can be no doubt
that his intentions We're the best. It
was said many times in Weeping Can
on that the clergyman meant well but
had no 'sabe." At all events, according
to the generally credited accounts Of
the affair, as given in the Boston Ad-
yertiser, Mr.. Agnus set about forming
Il male choir soon after his arrival in
Weeping Canon.
At his personal and urgent solicita-
ton about every cowboy and miner in
| that part Of Sierra county who could
sing, or who thought he could sing. was
taken into the choir on trial. The first
few rehearsals were Il source of many
SleeplesS nights to Mr.. Agnus, but mat
tiers finally progressed to such a stage
that it was announced that concert
would be given by the choir on an
evening i'll the early part of June. 1t
was generally supposed that an infiuen-
tial and popular individual who was
known as "Chloride Jack" would be
given the leading part because of his
remarkably powerful if not particu-
larry sweet voice, but Weeping Canon
was startled by the announcement that
young ranchman, Pompilio Penalties,
was to be the star of the evening. It
was noticed that ''Chloride' was alb
sent from the rehearsalS after that, and
many of the older and wiser memrates
was, and the injured ones made the
organization.
The concert was held on the evening
as announced, but what the Weeping
Canon Coyote, the local weekly, de-
scribed as an unfortunate miSunder-
standing served to shorten the pro-
gramme noticeably. After the choir
had sung two anthems, which were
vigorously applauded, Senior Penalties
started in on a solo. He had hardly

through one Of the open windows and

persons in the audience were more ser

and the injured ones made haste to

A large portion OF the audience made

| About 9 o'clock that evening young
man in clerical garb hailed the Hermesa
stage excited and clambered in. His
muddy and disheveled attire was not
i such as the Rev. Lamb Agnus usually
wore. but he was the individual. He
was afterwards induced to return to
the Weeping Canon church after few
weeks had elapsed; but for several
years since his return he has insisted
upon purely congregational singing.

A NEW MONTE CARLO.

The good people of Luxembourg are
greatly exercised over the possibility
of the establishment of second Monte
Carlo" at Mondorf, a summer and
winter resort in the little Grand Duchy.
A French syndicate has offered an an
nual rental of 100000 francs for the
privilege. The temptation is great. as
the revenue Of the state does not
amount to more than 100000 francs
year, and the minister Of finance. as
a rule. has to labor with a deficit The
question vii be decided by the senate
in a short time. The grand duke him
self is immensely wealthy. His son
and heir, who is unmarried, from
financial point of view is the greatest
catch in Europe.

THE SWEETEST FLOWERS THAT
BLOW.

The sweetest flowers that blow
give you as we part.
For you it is a rose;
For me it is my heart.
