Whatever be the final choice Of color
for the general harmonious decorating oi
each room, one must always take good cart
to follow a graduation either ascending or de
scending and not preceded by brusque-al
most brutal-contrasts. Thus a room car
be called correctly decorated and furnished
when it starts with rather light colored
carpet, followed by furniture upholstered In
slightly darker but still gay colors, the
walls shade more somber, and finally the
ceiling Of darker but not mournful hue
The contrary order may be followed with
out disobeying approved and safe principles
Strictly to be avoided is an arrangement
somewhat rs follows: Light colored carpet
dark colored upholstery; bright wall tint
ing and finally darker ceiling. Such heret
ical displays are met among us every day
and do much toward hindering that educa
tion of the eye which might help develop
among us a race Of budding artists.

A Popular Judge.

If Judge Clark of Georgia does not revel
in the full tide Of popularity, it ought not
to be the fault of the women of the state.
He has valiantly earned the gratitude of the
young of both sexes. When the puritanical
asked him for an injunction against the
military ball which was to be held in the
chapel of the Lithonia academy, they were
astonished to find the shield Of justice
thrown over the festivities. "The young
ladies'" said the judge, "have gone to a
great deal of trouble, know, in preparing
their new dresses, and the young men have
bought swallowtail coats and fancy shirts.
If stopped the ball, it might break up sew
eral weddings. feel it my duty to say, On
with the dance on the ground that pub
lie policy favors the meeting of the sexes. F."
1t is not said whether the judge is a gay
bachelor who looked forward to tripping it
himself, or that he, as proud father, had
had the privilege of paying for the trap
pings of a number Of the buds. At any
rate, though the judge may be bad law
yer, all will admit that he is a good fellow.

Arrangements For Supplying Water

In making plans for people who live in
small towns and in the country it is fire.
quently noticed that they do not under
stand how bath and water closet arrange
ments may be provided on the second floor.
To such it may be interesting to know that
with force pump in the kitchen, and a
tank in the attic, and connection with
the we'll and cistern, ome has practically
his own waterworks arrangements.
In many houses in cities cisterns are pro
vided and tank connections Of this kind in
order that those who live in the houses may
have soft water connections e., the els
tern water. Under such circumstances els
tern water is used to some extent in the
kitchen and for the water closet supply.
However, where there is no city water con
nection, it is possible to have cistern and
we'll connection in the manner here out
lined.
The kitchen sink, the bathtub and water
closet and the other plumbing fixtures
would then have their connection by dran
to vault where there are no sewer ar
rangements.

Specimen Cases.

s. Fl. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis, was
troubled with neuralgia and rheuma-
tism, his stomach was disordered, his
liver was affected to an alarming de-
gree, appetite fell away, and he was ter
ribly reduced in flesh and strength.
Three bottles Of Electric Bitters cured
him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, ILL.,,

years. standing. Used three bottles OF
Electric Bitters and seven boxes oi
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and well. John>Speaker, Cataw'

FIRST STORY.

in former plans of houses costing no more
than this. Afront hall ought to be regarded
IL not in the light of necessity, at least in
that Of o very substantial comfort which
amply repsys the cost of construction. An
outer door opening into the room in which
the guests are entertained is an awkward
arrangement. So is main stairway leading
from the rear of the parlor or sitting room
Both can be avoided with economy.
The wood finish is selected pine, painted
three coats. Simple wood mantels of neat
design are placed in the parlor and dining
room. The pantry is well fitted with
shelves and bins. Rear exit is had from
the kitchen and from the dining room
through an entry AZ by onto the rear porch
The passage to the cellar leads from ths
kitchen down under the main stairway
The hall stairway is finished with square
newell posts and simply turned balusters

Crackers For TaIlerrand.

In speaking recently Of the visit of Tai
leyrand to this state some so years ago,
Major Dickey Of Fort Kent described a
laughable little event which occurred at o
hotel in Gardiner 1t was midnight, and
some 40 or more people were waiting in the
hotel office to get look at the august per.
sonage momentarily expected, when a stage
coach drew up at the door and the famous
nobleman alighted and entered the office.
The landlord had long since retired, leay,
ing green boy in charge Of the house The
distinguished guest expressed a desire foI
something to eat, and the boy departed fol-
the lunch. He soon returned with three
crackers in his hand, which he handed tc
the hungry nobleman. Lewiston Journal

SECOND STORY,

The stairs land in the upper hall, from
which direct entrance is had to the three
chambers, which are of good size and pro
vided with closets each Of fair size. The
plastering is of 3-coat work, hard finished
in white.
The first story of the house is feet and
the second story feet in the clear. The
foundation of the building is built OF
good stone laid in lime mortar. The
porches have level ceilings of yellow pine
All valleys are lined with tin. Hanging
tin cutters are provided for all caves. The
house is estimated to cost in the vicinity Of
Carthage, Ills, complete, as follows: Exca
vation and masonry, 1854; superstructure
complete, 1886; total, 1890.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW

outside finish is Of pine, with pine clap.
boards on first story; the second story tc
be covered with 4inch cypress shingles,
stained with Cabot's creosote stain before
laying.
It will be observed that all the rooms are
Of fair size, both above and below, and that
direct access is had to all the chambers
from the stairway and hall. The feature
of front hall and staircase as commodious
as those shown here is Of itself a striking
excellence, the value of which will be daily
appreciated by the occupants Of the house
A very general impression seems to pre-
vail among those who build either for rent
or for their own occupancy the cheaper
class of houses that front hall and stair
way are a luxury to which none but the rich
can justly aspire. That this is an error we
have shown both in the present design and

"Gettinr the Mitten. /"

An old time New England expression,
getting the mitten," meaning getting
your offer of marriage rejected by your
'best girl" has an origin in the customs
of the earlier days. One hundred years
ago gloves were unknown in the country
towns Mittens were knitted and worn in
all families. If a young man going home
from singing school with the girl Of his
choice was holding her mittened hand to
keep it from getting cold, and took that
opportunity to urge bis suit, If the offer
proved acceptable, the hand would remain.
If taken by surprise, an effort to withdraw
the hand would leave the mitten. So the
suitor would ''get the mitten," but would
not get the hand. Cor Boston Transcript.

General MCPHERSON and Secretary Gresham

General Mcpherson is one of Judge Gresh-
ANS heroes. Gresham has habit, when
in Washington, of going into Mcpherson
square every pleasant day and sitting down
near the statue of the general. The judge
was with Mcpherson at Peach Tree Greek,
and when the former was wounded Cen
eral Mcpherson, hearing of it, at once sent
his own surgeon to dress the wounds, The
leg was bandaged, Gresham was put on a
litter, and the doctor ordered him to be car
ried back to the temporary hospital in the
rear of the lines.
There was some delay, and meanwhile the
fight ragged with fatal ferocity about Nc,
