The Tunefal Harp.

Harp playing is again in vogue. Fash.
ionable young women are hanging their
banioes on the willow tree; they are tax
ing lessons in harp manipulation. The
light airs of the instrument SO long held
sacred are forgotten in the deeper and
more dignitied notes of the harp. We
suspect that the decorative qualities of
the harp have considerable to do with
this revival of that ancient instrument.
A harp is pretty thing. A curiously
carved cabinet from Venice or an oddly
fashioned table from France caunot be
more effective in drawing room.
The harp has noble ancestry. Skill
in bringing forth music from its chords
won praise and honor in the day of King
David. Kings and Queens have enjoyed
its music through hundreds of years. Its
addition to the orchestra, however, does
not date back many years. A Chicago
musician has made study Of the instru-
ment, and he says its possibilities are not
yet fully understood; that the semitones
of the harp can be regulated with a nicely
heretofore unknown.
No doubt Tannhauser and Orpheus
would not recognize the harp If they
were to see it, with the Chicago modi6-
cations, standing in white and gold
parlor and responding to the graceful
touch of a Michigan avenue bellies slen-
der fingers. Indianapolis News.

Novel Decoration for a Room.

A novel plan for the decoration of an
room has been successfully car
ried out in house in New York City.
The upper floor, which was not par
titioned of into rooms or finished with
plaster ceiling, is fitted up to resemble
the upper deck of river steamboat.
Some round holes are placed in slight
curve q short distance from the front
and back windows, and these uprights
support horizontal rods on which cur
tains are hung, by rings, allowing light
or securing darkness, according to the
mood of the invalid. On the walls are
window suggesting frames of light oak,
and the wall is painted to suggest wood
work. The wooden rafters overhead are
painted in gray and blue, soft blue
mellowed with yellow ochre, and Indian
red, and ssAatted" with . little, very
little, zinc white, not white lead. In the
oaken frames, pictures with large pro-
portion of sky are fitted, and arc
changed four times year. In deep win
ter the pictures are Of South American
scenery; in spring, they are all Isalian
landscapes; In summer, cool Canada
views, painted from nature, suggest the
pleasures of travel to the helpless invalid ;
and autumn brings California's luxuriant
vegetation ON canvas, to brighten the
sick room. m.-Demorest' Magazine.

DR.. Nansen's late lecture before the
British Geographical Society bristled
with ingenious devices for passing away
the time during which he expects to be
ice-bound and to drift with the foes to-
ward the much-sought pole. So many
of these devices are dependent on the
supply of electric current that henceforth
no well-equipped Arctic expedition will
be considered complete without its
dynamo. It is easy to imagine how
cheering will be the effect of the electric
light on those whose perilous task will
subject them for some months to almost
total darkness. DIR. Nansen's proposed
method of generating electricity is at all
events original, although somewhat de-
fcient in the quality of reliability. He
proposes to have a windmill on deck to
drive the dynamo, and when the wind
fails to let his men take turn about at a
awalk-mill," in order to afford them
such sanitary exercise as might oe in
volved in heaving imaginary anchors. II
this method of generating current should
prove effective it is but natural to be-
lieve that it will hasten the general
adaptation of treadmills in prisons ia
the generation of electricity.

Strange Sense Of Direction.

When living near Neosho Falls, Kan.
a neighbor. who was market bird
hunter, went from there to Western Mis-
souri, for the purpose of hunting quails
and prairie chickens in the fall of the
year, says writer in Science. He took
with him favorite pointer dog. The
route taken was southwark some fifty
miles to Parsons, Kan., by railroad,
thence northeastwsrd to Fort Scott and
on into Missouri, nearly due east from
the latter point. All went very well for
a few days after he began hunting, but
by some means the dog became lost from
him. He spent two days hunting for it,
and as it was no use to try to hunt with
out the dog. he went homo and there
found the dog all right. According to
the report Of his family, the dog had
reached there within two days from the
time he had lost him, and as the distance
was more than seventy-five miles, it is
quite certain that the dog took near
cut for home. Now, If this dog had no
sense of direction, what had he that led
him to take what we may confidently
believe to be the straight and true course
for home, when he had passed over the
other two sides of the triangle by raila
Who does not know that a cat, or even
half-grown kitten, taken a long way
from home in bag, nearly always finds
its way backa When living in Northern
Michigan / had a cat we tired of, took
her in boat directly across the lake,
about two miles, and turned her loose.
Although it was about six miles around
the end of the lake, circuitous course
and certainly one unknown to her by
sight, the next morning she was back at
the old place. Another case is just stated
to me of cat that was taken by rail
fully twenty miles in Southwest Missouri,
and the next day he walked in all right
at his former home.

A Feathered Winter Friend.

A writer in the Contributor Club In
the February Atlantic writes pleasantly
of the chickadee as a winter friend:
Set forth feast of suet on the
window sill, and he will need no bid
ding to come aud partakc of it. How
daintily he helps himself to the tiniest
morsels, never cramming his bill with
gross mouthfuls as do his comrades at
the board, the nuthatch and the downy
woodpeckeri They, like uubidden
guests, doubtful of welcome or of suffer.
ance, even, make the most Of time that
may prove all too brief, aud gorge
themselves as greediy as hungry tramps
while he, unscared by your face at the
window, tarries at his repast, pecking
his crumbs with leisurely satisfaction.
You half expect to see him swept from
your sight like thistle-down by the
gusty blast, but he holds bravely to his
perch, unruffled in spirit II not in
feathers, and defies his fierce assailant
with his oft.repeated challenge.
As often as you spread the simple
feast for him he viii come and sit at
your board, confiding guest, we'll
assured of welcome, and will repay you
with an example of cheerful life in the
midst of dreariness and desolatiou. In
the still, bright days, his CHEEKY voice
rings through the frosty air, and when
the thick veil of the snow falls In a
wavering slant from the low sky its
muffied cadence still heartens you.
What an intense spark Of vitality must
it be that warns such mite in such an
immensity of cold; that floats his little
life in this deluge of frigid air, and
keeps him in song while we are dumb
with shiveringl II our hnge hulks were
endowed with proportimate vitality,
how easily we might solve the mysteries
of the frozen north!

HOME.


The prince rides up to the palace gates
And his eyes with tears are dim.
For he thinks of the beegar maiden sweet
Who never may wed with him.
For home Is where the heart Is,
In dwelling great or small,
And there's many a splendid palace
That's never home at all.
The yeoman comes to his little cot
With song when day is done.
For his dearie is standing in the door
And his children to meet him run.
For home is where the heart is,
In dwelling great or small,
And there's many a stately mansion
That's never home at all.
Could but live with my own sweetheart
In hut with sanied floor,
I'd be richer far than a loveless man
With fame and golden store.
For home is where the heart is.
In dwelling great or small,
And cottage lighted by lovelight
Is the dearest home of all.

The whole number of the victims of
lynching for the past year was 266, of
whom 221 we're men and five women.
This increase was disproportionate to
the increase in population, the number
for 1891 having been 1875, or forty-one
less. "The preponderance of coiored

Rome is losing its ancient charm very
rapidly as modern buildings spring up
and many monuments are being restored
or cleared away altogether. The famous
Bridge of St. Angelo is under repair,
and is replaced by an ugly iron viaduct.
A society for the preservation of ancient
monuments is sorely wanted in the Eter-
nal City to check the zeal of her mu-
nicirality for modern improvements.

Making Change by Cutting Coins.

Until recently, when the practice was
forbidden by law, the Mexicans cut their
silver coins into pieces for small change.
The same practice was followed in the
United States early in the present Gen.
tury, and in Virginia it was customary
to make i've quarters out of each dollar
by hammering it out prelimirarily to
choppipg it into segments with hat
chst or other instrument. The creed
ing or currogation on the edges Of mod
ern coins, commonly but incorrectly
termed milling" was originally adopted
as a protection against the clipping of
metal money, which formerly was a
souree of profit to many dishonest per-
sous.
