Speaking of curtains" said woman
to the New York Tribune the other day,
II saw such a pretty way of draping a
double window not long ago. The cur
tains were made of very sheer white
muslin, gathered very full and crossing
each other, each reaching when mounted
fully two-thirds of the distance across
the window and trimmed with ruff1es
of the same material, They were drawn
back at the upper corner of each sash by
broad band of pale yellow satin ribbon
tied in bow at the corners. This ar

Broke a Collar Bone While Singing.

Fifty years ago European audiences lis
tened with rapt admiration to Rubini n
tenor, of whom it was said that, though he
himself could not net, he made his voice net
for him. The intensity of expression he
gave to his voice, the judicious use of the
tremolo and the management of light and
shade produced n thrilling effect. But his
best vocal feat consisted in taking the bass
of the upper stave without preparation,
thus retaining it for a long time and then
letting it imperceptbly die away. The lis
teners could hardly believe their ears
The adventurous are always on the edge
of danger. On one occasion Rubin, after
repeating his vocal feat and being n second
time cncoreil, found himself unable to pro-
duce the expected note. Determined not
to fail, he gathered up his vocal strength
and made supreme effort. The note came
with it's wonted power, brillancy and dura-
ton, but at the cost Of n broken collar bone
a surgeon examined the singer and found
that the tension Of the lungs had been too
powerful for the strength of his collar bone.
Two months rest would be required to re-
unite the clavicle, and this the singer de.

Yes, it will make no difference in your
voice." answered the surgeon. "But Vol

undue eXertion-above all, you must leave

Rubini continued to sing with broken
clavicle until the termination of the en-
gagement.- Philadelphia Press.

china silk powdered with tiny branches of
violets, while n broad band of light green
satin ribbon crossed the center of each
curtain and was tied with a windmill
knot in the center. When the door was

The Japanese cotton rug IS pictur-
esque, especially in the blue and white
and the briclSy reds with white that
have recently been imported. but it is,
sad to say, inhammable. A spark from
the open CRATE, a bit of phosphorus from
the lighted match, will kindle it as
quickly into flame as if it were n
bundle of shavings. A rug for the fire
place or for the center of the room should
be Of thick wool, SO that it will serve it's
purpose TO protect the floor from sparks
of fire as we'll as from dust. An over
turned lamp on cotton rng would be
certain disaster, while the same accident
with wooden rug need lead to no dis
astrous consequences, as the flames
could be easily smothered. For this
reason both cotton and jute rugs are
things to be used with great care. They
are expensive when the fact is considered
that they are not especially durable,
while the oriental rug. though it cost
three or four times as much. will last n
lifetime
A fashionable color for picture frames
is dull olive green-a color produced
by enameing hard wood and rubbing it
down to smooth surface with puince

AIR YOUR CLOTHING.
Wind and Sunshine are the Best Disinfcct
ants.


Everyday garments, particularly those
that are not laundered, should be disin-
fected Brushing is not sufficient, as it
does not remove the unpleasant odors
that come from long usage. Some wom-
EN- sprinkle their waists and dresses with
scent and use sachet powers to perfume
their bonnets and wraps. All this would
be admirable were it awaiting. Scent
needs to be overpowering to conceal the
unfragrant carnations from an old gar
ment. Then the bouquet is fulsome and
vulgar.
Better, thinks the New York World,
Gan scent bags or potpourri are clothes
pole and an open window. Turn the
garments wrong side out and let the air
md sunshine disinfect and deodorize
them. All night airing is good, but a
LAY of blowing winds and purifying sun
light is better. When bonnet lining or
n set of dress shields becomes perceptible,
1t should be removed. Cloth garments
can be sponged and pressed clean. A
pint of benzine costs S cents and will
clean anything in the way of kid. silk,
lace or worsted. Camphor is another
common disinfectant and not half appre-
ciated. If, after brushing the only coat
Or gown, it is sprinkled with spirits of
ramphor and aired few hours. it will
be tidy and grateful
Garments and belongings that smell
of nothing are the cleanest and most
agreeable. There is always suspicion
of bad health, bad sanitation or bad hab-
Its where there is much pertaining. If
scent is desired to neutralize what is
known as shop smells, emanating from
the laundry, factory, packing room, ETC.,
orris, muscadine, bergamot or bit of
sandalwood is preferable to the sickly
sweetness of manufactured perfumes.
Deodorized alcohol with teaspoonful
of scent to pint, used as spray, will
leave the clothing redolent of neatness.
And for the skin there is nothing more
aromatic and agreeable than handful
Of lavender water.

There are husbands who are pretty,

Several Ways of Treating Deadly Snakes


1t is well to remember what to do in case
Of attack by II formidable snake. If boa
constructor or a python begins to curl him
self about you, you should pinch him Wig
orously, and he will loosen his folds and get
away from you. Some may prefer to blow
his head off with pistol, but it is largely
II matter of taste, and one doesn't want TO
damage ii good specimen. The anaconda,
however, who is the biggest of the CON
strictors, won't let go for pinching In this
case the best thing is not to let him get
hold of you at all. Tobacco Juice will Kill
puff adder. If you come across a puff
adder, you should open his mouth gently,
remembering that the scratch of n fang
means death in half an hour or SO, and
give him the tobacco juice in suitable
dose, or you can run away as fast as posi-
Bile, which is kinder to the snake and much
healthier for yourself.-Arthur Morrison
