NUMBER Is.
A Discount of 25 Cents.

As will be seen by the announce
ment which appears elsewhere, a dis
count of 25 cents will be allowed to
each subscriber for The Democrat who
pays one full year in advance before
January lst, 1894.
The publishers regard this as most
liberal offer, and respectfully invite an
examination of the paper by those
who have not yet become subscribers.
Metropolitan weeklies cannot take the
place of local newspapers, and no COM
parison of subscription price should be
made. The former often contain read
ing matter, as we'll as advertisements,
that should not be allowed in any home.
The home paper is necessity and
occupies place which the large city
paper does not, and cannot, fill.
No questionable advertisements are
allowed to appear in The Democrat, as
every inch of its space is controlled by =.
the publishers. No Objectionable
reading matter is printed in its col
umns, and there is nothing that may
not be read in the family circle. BY
paying $1.25 before January 1st., sub
scribers will receive the paper one
full year from date Now is the time
to hand in your name and secure the
discount.

The Tuneful Harp.

Harp playing is again in vogue. Fash
ionable young women are hanging their
banjoes 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 digniied 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 cannot be
more effective in a drawing room.
The harp has a noble ancestry. Skill
in bringing forth music from it's 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 a 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 modii-
cations, standing in a white aad gold
parlor and responding to the graceful
touch of a Michigan avenue bellies slen.

Novel Decoration for a Room.

A novel plan for the decoration Of an
invalid's room has been successfully car
ried out in a house in New York City.
The upper floor, which was not par
titioned off into rooms or finished with a
plaster ceiling, is fitted up to resemble
the upper deck of a river steamboat.
Some round holes are placed in a slight
curve a short distance from the front
and back windows, and these uprights
support horizontal rods on which cur
tains are hung, by rings, allowing light
OF 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. Ths wooden rafters overhead are
painted in gray and blue, soft blue
meilowed with yellow ochre, and Indian
red, and "Aatted" with a little, very
little, zinc white, not white leai. In the
oaken frames, pictures with a large pro-
portion of sky are fitted, and are
changed four times a year. In deep VIM
ter the pictures are of South American
scenery in spring, they are all Italian
landscapes; IN summer, cool Canada
views, painted from nature, suggest the
pleasures of travel to the helpless invalid;
and autumn brings CALIFORNIA; luxurlant

A SNow.SToRM.

Feather light and feather.soft and feather
flying swift,
The snow came down the livelong night, and
piled in heap and drift.
The barns were rooted with silver sheen, the
fences glimmered white,
For far and near the barefoot elves had
journeyed in the night.
The baby at the window clapped dimpled
hands in glee,
This was indeed a bonny world which he had
come to see.
The sturdy boys were loath to wait, their
eyes on fire to go
And fight and measure arms against the
g. legions Of the snow.
.And feather-light and feather-soft the flying
feeces piled
Above the fields where food was own for
many a hungry child;
For while men sleep the great God keeps a
watch for things to grow,
And His worlds bread is always safe beneath
His brooding snow.
The snow fell on the upland, on the lonely
graveyard space,
And the snow fell on the lowland. near many
adwelling-place,
And everywhere twas pure and fair, and
dropped its shining fleece !
As if the angel of the Lord had hushed its
heart to peace. .
