conventionalized flowers are allowed TO

No attempt at subduing the walls into a
mere background is made, and only the
dainty furniture stands against them and
claims their support. The picture as a
whole is made sweet and inviting. And ii
some few criihsr carp and cry out that IL Is
wrong. let them build up rooms that are
better suited to their needs and that offer
more tempting reposc. For while IL is be-
yond dispute that lowered papers do not
make perfect backgrounds, they do make
parts of an attractive whole.
Others. less well suited to such rooms,
can be found To serve where sleeping and
sitting rooms are combined and where pic
lures will be hung or the walls otherwise
decorated. But for the room that induces
sleep, that lulls the senses TO rest, that Is
designed for a bedroom, and bedroom only,
the dainty lowered papers and the papers
of bright yet tender tone arc good despite
the apparent paradox, and despite the law
that pronOunccs walls background only.
which in all other rooms should be obeyed.

The Crier of the Nile.

Upon the rise Of the Nile, as every one
knows, depends the fertility of lower
Egypt. Unless the river reaches certain
height the fields of the delta will not re-
Ieive enough water. and the crops will be
poor. When the Nile begins to grow, its
daily increase is carefully noted, and as the
day when a good Nile Is due draws near
the people become very excited. In Cairo
an official known as the crier OF the Nile is
appointed for each district Of the city,
whose business it is to tell the folks day by
day of the state CT the river. The crier Is
usually accompanied by a boy, who adds
the responses to his pious exclamations,
Crying commences on the 2d Of July with
the statement that Allah has been pro-
pitious to the land Tomorrow will be the
day Of good news"
On the morrow the crier recites in long
windcd style passages from the Koran, un-
Ill, his audience getting impatient he gives
them the glad tidings Of the rivers rise for
that day, "Five and half digits, and the
Lord is bountiful." To which the boy re-
spends, "Bless We. Mohammed" AS every
body is interested in the news, rich men
will arrange with the crier, sor piece OF
bread or money. TO stop before their houses
and deliver his message. When the river
is at its height, the crier announces the
fact, and then his duty ceases until next
season. At rule. he and his boy receive
no pay until the day before the great feast
that is held at the opening Of the Cairo
canal

Legal Injustice to womc en-.

A young man and wife start out together
IN small investment, depending for profit
on the joint labor of one behind the coun-
ter or both, as business may require. the
wife being the domestic manager.
Nine times in ten. under my observation,
the wife works the harder. She works in
the kitchen; she works in the store She
does not indulge in luxuries.
II after 10 years of common toll, includ-
ing the blessed relief OF motherhood and its
joyful added cares, he, under our lax di-
vorce laws, should brutally cast her off on
one Of the many pretexts found now sufii-
cient, the equity 0f that wife and mother
in the property of which she fully halved
the making is not recognized except by
caprice Of courts or license of flexible stat
utes.
/ must say that the disposition Of the
judiciary has been almost Invariably on the
side Of equity, but common law and statu-
tory bars still operate hardl ly upon the wife
and mother
The mother, however abiect her poverty,
wants the child or the children, and will
work herself To the bone TO maintain and
educate them. Under the laws that lie on
the books of most OF our states she cannot
get her moiety OF the material goods to
which she Is in conscience entitled except
after expense and delay, IL she succeeds even
then. She rarely succeeds. ds.-Margaret f.
Sullivan In Donahoe's Magazine.

amid all the excitement and discomfort she
was called upon 10 endure in hasty flight

OF her subjects natural concern for her

II Is hard to the woman OF small means
and luxurious tastes to keep within her in
come and abreast with the times, but lit
tie sound sense in the way OF finding out
short cuts to economy will work wonders.
The woman who has learned to make
good appearance upon next TO nothing be-
comes an object OF envy to her less fortu-
nate sisters. 1t is largely question of in.
vestigation, OF watching sales, OF shopping
properly, OF making 81 buy 81 worth of
goods. And only that severe teacher-ex-
perience--will teach all this. A woman
can be dignified even il she is poor, nor
should she feel that because poverty has
flung it's somber cloak about her she should
draw its folds still closer and hide herself
from the pure sunshine of the world or the
kindly friendship of her friends.
Too many women are inclined. when
poor, to withdraw into IA shell, snail fashion,
and become grabbed and poverty spoiled.
Poverty is not the greatest of crimes, as
many suppose. There are lots of things
worse than that, and wealth Is not the al
pha and omega of happiness.
The woman Of fine nature will accept this
fact gracefully, and by her example help
many adisheartened woman TO look on the
bright side of life. to look her finances
squarely in the face and avoid laying out
her money In unnecessary expenditure. b,
a bit Of forethought a small sum OF none.

luncheons and walk holes in her shoes rath-

1aunder her handkerchiefs in her own room,

use them heroically, borne up by the knowl-
