Table Decoration.


The fashion of Identifying the table,
which III these days i-carried to such an
extent, Is by 10 means so original as
many claim it to be. 1t is simply the
revival Of al old custom. We are told
that in France when the great joints
grew distasteful and small dishes took
their place decorations of the table
changed too. Permanent pieces called
''dormants," or "surtouts, made Of crys-
tai and mounted in silver were placed IN
the middle of the table. and from them
branched candelabra of gilt and silver,
vases filed with flowers. tiny trays COW
cred with swcetmeats. or here and there
statuettes.
Finally the surtout grew so large that
it almost covered the table. People at
last grew tired Of the monotony Of this
ornament, no matter how artistic it
might be, and instead the center of the
table was often covered with a layer of
potter's clay, in which a florist would
set cut flowers in any design that pleased
him. Artists were often employed to
decorate the table, the center of which
would be covered with temples. bridges.
amphitheatels or emblematic groups of
figures. all made of paste.
Sometimes the artist would represent
a landscape covered with snow. NJ.
Carada invented an artificial hoarfrost,
which was melted by the heat of the
room, during which process the guests
saw the thawing of the river and the
budding of the trees and flowers as spring
succeeded winter. There We're also the

There Is no subject that so deeply in.

the girls from the many discussions
that the subject occasions. Plans are

rise only TO fall again, and meanwhile
the girl speeds on toward womanhood,

We cannot overdo the matter Of dis

great work that is before them. The
keynote for harmony In mental and
physical education has not yet been
touched, and will not be until their
physical well-being Is made supreme
and the mental is based on this power.
The time has never been In our country
when thishas been practically consid-

GENUINE HOSPITALITY.

IL Is NOT Necessary to be Wealthy to Enter
tain Properly.
A great deal has been written about
the need Of young housekeepers hoard
ing their means, and the folly Of enter
tanning too many guests. 1t is per-
fectly true that great number Of Wis
itors may be serious drain on the re-
sources Of family of limited means
1t is also equally true that those who
do not entertain their friends become
narrow and selfish in their ideas, and
that there is nothing that tends to
broaden the heart and mind so much as
genuine disinterested friendship.
Sometimes spirit of niggardliness
prevents the family from receiving
their friends, but more often 1t Is a
spirit of mean pride, desire to make
more lavish display than our means
win permit. There is no hospitality in
display beyond our means. And this
deceives no one, least of all our friends,
who are likely to be acquainted with
our means, and are likely also, If sensi'
BILE persons, TO be embarrassed by
our extravaganza, rather than COM
plimented by 1t. II we would be
true hosts we must live true lives
day by day, so that we shall not be
ashamed to see plate at our table at
any time for the passing guest. We
must, in the homely old phrase that
has such a ring Of true hospitality
about It, make our friends at home" "
In order to do this we need not set up
a gorgeous table and deck out our
house in rivalry to their own, but re-
ceive them without formality or show,
but with that true hospitality Of the
heart which is appreciated by the
genuine and true. Even II we have
only dinner Of herbs TO offer TO our
guest, ~ It be served In the spirit Of
true hospitality 1t will be better than
a stalled OK, where pride and envy is
and with them the spirit Of contention

tality may be found as often in the sim

BRAZIL'S CIVIL WAR
NichterOy BOmbarded Daily by
MellO's Fleet and a Rebel Fort.
Transport Rammed and 500 Soldiers
DrOwned-Fifty Killed on Another
Vessel-Spaniards Mutilated.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Times has the
following advices from Rio de Janeiro, un-
der date of Oct. 81 The. insurgent fleet, in
conjunction with Fort Villegaignon, daily
bombards Nichteroy, Santa Cruz and San
Joaoa, but the fire is badly directed. The
firing on Oct % was particularly heavy
and the magazine of the insurgents at
Mocanque, containing forty tons of powder,
was hit by a shell and blown up. This city,
so far has not been damaged by the pres
ent firing. Nichteroy has suffered severely,
though there has been no loss of life The
garrison of Nichteroy consists of 1900 men,
made up chiefly of militia In Rio de ia
metro there are 5000 regular troops The
insurgents have 1.5O0 men afioat.
The provisional government, which has
been firmly established at Desterro and
Santa Catharina, consists of a President,
Captain Lorena; a Minister of Marine.
Senior Mourao. and a Minister of War,
Senior Cardoza. The government is or
ganizing land forces. 1t has already re-
ceived eight cannons and 1900 Manser rifles
which We're brought from Montevideo by
the Republica. The insurgent Admiral Mel
10 obtains money and pays his followers
regularly. There is a strong feeling among
the authorities here adverse to foreigners.
President Peixoto considers that the COM
manders of the foreign war ships showed
sympathy for the insurgents because they
are moved out of the line of fire. When
Peixoto requested the resignation of Car
valho it was due to the fact that Peixoto
had appointed a medical man, Senior Bar
rat to be Judge of the Supreme Court
The new Foreign Minister, Senior NaSciS
mento is a man of no standing.
The armed steamer Urano, while leaving
Rio on Oct. ID was hit by shell and badly
DANA ged. She has arrived at Desterro,
and reports that forty Of heC crew were
killed. The insurgents have plenty of MUM,
tions of war. Decisive action by Admiral
Mello is expected shortly. The government
is mounting guns on the city batteries.
The Republca rammed the transport Rio
de JaneirO, which was conveying LOO troops
to Santos, and five hundred of the troops
were drowned Adms-al Meilo confirms the
truth of this report. He denies that he has
any direct intention of restoring the en-
pire He wishes to be recognized as bel
ligerent by the foreign powers. He expects
that the war ships Riachulo and Benjamin
Constant will join the insurgents. The rebel
flagship Aquidaban was slightly damaged

INITIATED BY MOORS.
Wounded and Dead Spaniards Treat
ed in a Horrible Manner.

MADRID, Oct. 31.-A special dispatch just
received here from Melilla has caused quite
a commotion. Though the exact facts in
connection with the dispatch are not made
public, enough is known to warrant the as
sertion that the artillery officers of this city
are discussing the great difference existing
between the reports of the number killed
and wounded in the last battle before Me-
lila as given from official sources and those
just received. The latter assert that at
least one hundred Spaniards were killed,
and that more than three hundred were
wounded, and that oves one hundred were
captured, while others are reported missing.
The fate Of the wounded, captured and miss
ing is said to be too horrible to contemplate
in view of the shocking manner in which
a number of the wounded are already
known to have been mutilated, their shrieks
of agony reaching the Spanish soldiers in
the forts and causing the most ttsrlple IN
dignation In this city.
The steamer Africa, from Melilla, to-day
arrived at Malaga and brought news from
the seat of war. According to the informa-
ton brought by the Africa, the Spaniards
have made another sortie from Melilla,
and General Ortega, at the head OF
column of infantry and body. or cav
airy, has succeeded in relieving the garri-
sons of the detached forts of Rostrogordo
and CabreriZaS which have been for some
Ortega also succeeded in replacing the gar
risons of the forts with fresh troops, and
the Spanish commander, after leaving ten
days supplies of provisions in the forts
mentioned, returned to Melilla. The MoorS
continue to make ,desultory attacks upon
the Spanish lines, and lately fired upon the
shin which landed General Marcias, the
new commander of the Spanish forces at
Melilla. General Marcias, who is commits
stoned to furnish the government report
as to the number of reinforcementS re-
ouired and as to the exact state Of affairs
about Melilla, is regarded as a very able
commander although he is only forty-four
years of age The new commander at
Melilla has won every step of his promo
ton upon the field of battle. =
The news that the Moors murdered and
mutilated the Spanish wounded and that
the shrieks of the latter could be heard in
the night by their comrades in the forts
has caused tremendous Indignation here
and has further increased the war fever
The reports received to-day confirm the
statement that the most serious fighting
occurred on Saturday morning, when eight
battalions of infantry, supported by thirty
six guns, were required to make way for
the convoy of provisions which General
Ortega was compelled to push forward in
order to relieve the forts. Seven hours
hard fighting followed, during which the
Arabs are said to have lost a large num-
her of men, When the latest news was
dispatched from Melilla the MoorS were
busily at work reconstrufting trenches ad-
yanced to within six hundred yards of the
Snanish fortifications, and the MoorS were
doing this in spite of the fire of the forts
which was continuously directed upon them
