An Old Family Dining Room.

There was a time that when we
wanted to make our houses fine we
had to bring over doors and vain
scotings and panels and pillars from
old world palaces and castles. But
now we get them from our own an

can should feel a thrill of pride on
entering the small dining room at the

Struck by Artificial Lightning.

In n of the theaters here a piece is
given in which, during the first act,
there is a thunderstorm. In order to
produce the lightning two electric cables
are used, the ends of which terminate
in carbons like those used for electric
lamps. When a flash of lightning is to
be produced, a man behind the scenes
unites the poles of the two cables, which
produces an electric spark, and the thing
is done. For some time past a workman
occupied on the stage had always
watched the lightning producer with
the greatest attention. The other day
during a rehearsal he thought he would
like to try his hand at it. He took hold
of the cables and produced the flash, but
in consequence of some awkward hand
ling on his part tho electric spark struck
him, and he fell to the ground completely
paralyzed. He was at once taken to the
hospital, but all medical skill was in
vain. The unfortunate man died.

While we talk of the work of a great
master as being ever fresh we are 9ecret-
ly sensible of the fact that it is no longer
fresh to us. After the second or third
hearing no piece Of music is ever the
same to us again. In a great and COM
pick work we may still for some time
continue to discover the unexpected, but
by the time we know it thoroughly it
has become but an echo of its former
self, and we greet it with the faint smile
with which we linger over the photo
graphs that remind us of the holidays of
past years.
With equal truth it may be said that
the music of one generation does not pro-
duce quite the same effect on the next.
When the prayer from Rossini's "Mose"
was first performed in Naples, women
tainted and men troubled. There is very
little excitement to be got out of the
prayer from Nose in the present day,
and perhaps so years hence even the
overture to ''Tannhauser' will be dry
and cold. But this only shows how
much of musical impressiveness depends
on the element of vague apprehension.

was a rich piece of violet silk embroider-

a woven border of palms in gray and
violet. The silk was thrown around the
hips at its full width. making a petit
coat, which was tied with a knot on one
side. Then a dip plating together of
about a yard of it into four inches was
tucked firmly into the belt thus made.
The silk was then passed over one arm
and under the other, which would leave
n arm bare, and the remaining corner
of the silk made a bewitching hood drawn
over the head. Here were a spring bon
