Ridiculous Decoration.

There is such thing as carrying the
home decoration business too far. 1t
can be carried so far as to almost set
on edge the teeth OF the beholders OF
it. lbeleve in ornamenting and dec
Grating ones house to q certain de-
gree. Indeed, ] am q great lover of
pretty things OF every sort, but when
home de- orations reaches as far AS
the legs OF ones piano it's time to cry
''haltv
I was in ahouse not very long ago
in VIII 'ch all OF the piano legs were orna-
mented with huge bows ofyellow and
cardinal ribbon, a couple of cast-off
sashes evidently having been used for
this purpose. Now I am quite sure
that all OF my readers will agree with
me that the less one tries to orna-
ment piano legs the better it will be
for the feelings OF ones friends.
No amount OF ribbon or anything
else can make piano legs beautiful.
would as soon think of putting piano
legs in trousers as into ribbons. One
would not be any more incongruous
than the other. OF all things, piano
legs are least fit for decoration, and
the home decorator will be wise not
to triAe with them. Leave them as
their maker made them, since they
stand so far outside OF the realm OF
artistic decoration.
And l, for one, have never been able
to see anything beautifr' or artistic in
painted and beribboned coal and
scoop shovels, wash-pans, pipes
and clothes -pins.-The Housewife.

GIVING BABY A CHANCE.

A Gold Dollar, Bible and Step
ladder for Luck.
Think of a baby twenty-four hours
old climbing a step ladder!
Monthly nurses all agree that if a
baby goes downstairs before it goes
upstairs it's path in life will be down.
ward and ill-luck will attend it. Ac-
cordingly, precautions should be taken
against such an omen. In this in
stance, the child having been born on
the top floor of the house, it could not
be carried upstairs. and, therefore, it's
mother had suggested the ingenious
plan of having stepladder brought
into the room, so that the nurse could
mount it with baby in her arms.
But that was not all. A small testa-
ment was attached by a string to the
child's arm and in its chubby little
fist was placed gold dollar. Thus,
reasonable certainty was secured that
the boy would grow up both rich and
pious. At the same time it seemed
very odd to see such superstitious OBJ
servances .practiced in the city Of
Washington in the year 1892. Some
people say that it is very bad luck in
deed for a baby to see itself in a mir
ror before it is a year old, though why
this should be so considered it would
be difficult to otell.-Washington Star.

AFuneral at the Front.


The company was from the interior
of Maine.
The tall corporal with the lack-luster
eyes said it was the Umphmagrog COM
pany Of howitzer artillery. They
weren't toy soldiers, although they
didn't know much more than pine
sticks and brush fires. When Gunner
Swayne died of his wound, the day
after the retreat stopped at Harrison's
Landing, the seven that were left split
boards out of tree and fixed up a
coffin. Chaplains were scarce, and the
tall corporal mumbled something that
sounded nightly like a prayer, and he
ended up with a little sermon much
to the effect that Tom Swayne was the
"best kind of feller." The coffin was
dashed on a caisson, and the procession
was ready to move through the thick
mud, when somebody said that it
wouldn't be decent if there wasn't
some kind of a band to play and make
it solemn. But they couldn't find a
band. So the tall corporal said he
could whistle the dead march. They
put him in the lead, and marched
through the mud to that queer shrill
music. We may smile at it now, but
we didn't then.-Detroit News.
