though its actual possibilities are still to be realized. What this style of paper can do for the ornamentation of home and in every corner of it is as yet un- known. Something of what it can do was told not long ago in tho columns of The Ladies' Home Journal. With other illustrations given was that of a 5 o'clock tea. q pretty affair in the shades of violet. Masses of violets arc lying here and there upon the table, which is draped with the crape paper and satin ribbon to match. It is in a delicate lav- ender, with the edge tinted violet, and flowers are all in the latter shade. from O pale lavender to the darkest purple, though, if one is not partial to the darker element and would keep it light and soft, the deeper hues can be omit ted.
 On the lamp, which is an almost in dispensable addition to the table, there is shade of lavender trimmed with rosettes of half inch wide lavender rib bon. Perhaps the most striking color for an ambitious woman's tea table is magenta As the crape paper is not pre- pared in the solid magenta coloring, one may use the white with the edge tinted magenta For tho decoration great golden hearted orchids, with the tips of their roomy petals touched with the brilliant magenta, are fastened to the table with smart bows of magenta satin ribbon. If q lamp is used, the shade should be white, with Q line of magenta coloring for the border, and may be rendered additionally attractive by the addition of roscttes of narrow magenta ribbon.
 4 yellow . o'clock tea is particularly desirable, especially if two shades of yellow or yellow and white are used. The flowers can be chrysanthemums or orchids. Narcissus and jonquils also form an attractive decoration when used with ribbon of the same or contrasting color.
 Pink is also n good color. The light falling through a shade of this tint is soft and delicate Convolvuli. or morn. ing glories, as they are moro commonly called, afford n desirable decoration, in which tho pink or green coloring pre- dominates. Tho delicate trailing vine work, from which emerges an occasion al pink cup, forms m exquisite finish to the table.

 Dark CrfmeA


 MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-The grand fury began an investigation of the murder case of Miss Cling The officials have practical ly given up hope of wringing a confession from Hayward, and it seems that the case will come to trial in due time. in which event it Is likely 10 become a celebrated case. Harry Hayward is apparently de- termined to fight the thing out 10 the bit- ter end, and few more developments are expected
 Assistant County Attorney Hall asserts that he has evidence of Harry Hayward s compltcity in a number of other dark crimes but he will give uo hint Of what they are IL Is certain that arson and Kidnapping are among them, If not mur- der. It Is possible that no indictment will be returned against Adry Hayward. who first confessed He will be wanted as a witness, and while culpable the state Is so anxious 10 make a good ease against liar Y Hayward that 1t will probably decide not to 'ndict him and thereby close his mouth. The SOrOner's jury returned a formal verdict that Miss Cling came to her denth by shot fired by some unknown person or persons
 Blixt's past r,ycord Is being pretty thor oughly looked up and some comment is made on the fact that he has been thrice married and that two 0f his wives died suddenly It sccms that suspicious were entertained against him in Cannon Falls At the time Of these deaths but that no action looking toward an investigation was taken His people are respectable farmers who still liv" near Cannon Falls

 They receive no compensation for their services and consequently therefore cannot Do expected to give all their time to It's in- terests. A large part of the details of management must necessarily be intrusted to their superintendent and others subordi- mates. The managers are of course re- sponsible if abuses exist, but in spite of the vehemenoe of the attacks upon the in- stitution 1t has not been successfully shown that grave abuses do exist or have existed under the present management The cen- ter of attack has not been the managers, but their superintendent, but the charges against him have not been proved suffi- cicntly to warrant the removal of the man. agers in order to displacc the supcrintcnd- ent.
 ''I cannot help calling attention to the anomaly of trying the managers vicarious- ly for the superintendent. Had the legis- lature given me the power which I asked to remove superintendents of reformato- rics, this circumlocution would have been avoided, but since 1t refused the inycsti- gation has had to take this roundabout course. The charges arc in the main not proved and are therefore dismissed. "

spontaneou. Origin of Bees.

Thcrc is a certain insect, known as the ''drone fly" which lays its eggs in putrc- flying flesh. The larve matched from these eggs arc eventually transformed into flies, which look so much like honey bees that even naturalist would bc apt to mistake one for the other offhand. So 1t came about that the ancients accepted this no. ton of the spontaneous generation of bees from the dead bodies of animals. Natu- ralists of old, even the great Aristotle, made record of the phenomenon. It is re- ferred to in classical Grcck literature. The myth runs hack for at least 2, 500 years and probably much further. It prevailed not only in Europe, but in northern Al. rica and in parts of Asia. Through the middle ages 1t continued to be entertained, and the friend of Luther, the learned and pious Melanchthon, referred to it as n di

DELEGATE RAwLISs of Utah has notified Secretary Smith that if the government does not remove the Ute Indians from Utah the people will drive them out by force. He says he fears that an Indian war will be the outcome of the present difficulties. owing to the depredations of the Indians, which. he says. have reached the unbearable stage.
 THE reports concerning the character of the terms of peace likely to be imposed by Japan upon her demoralized foe. must in the nature of things. be largely con- jectural. The Japanese are as good states men as they are successful warriors. and are not addicted to babbling with resp, ct to future political plans any more than with regard to their military operations. One thing is evident. however, from the whole tenor of Japanese public opinion as revealed in advices just received at the Japanese legation at Washington. Japan would repel with her whole available force any attempt on the part of any single power. or of any combination of powers, to coerce her into surrendering one jot of the fruits of her victory. The days of European tutelage over this great oriental empire are past and gone.
 THE fellow that has the nerve and dash to steal his girl from under the watchful eye of a marble hearted parent and an iron jawed bulldog. is nearly always ready to defend his possession against all corners. But a young woman near Leigh. ton. Ala. has learned to her sorrow that il is quite different when the young man plays the part of Thisbe and the girl the part of Pyramus. In this .se it was the young mans father that stood between the loving pair, and it was the young lady that gave the scornful laugh to dogs and lock. smiths and made of with her fair one. hotly pursued by pc and the hired man. But, alas. for the sequel to this irregular romance! The old man overlook them, and not only hoggsd ;he female Romeo but forced her craven lover to lay the lash upon her tender shoulders with his own dastard hands. IL is a piteous story. but there is a valuable moral concealed abou, its person. if the philosophy of the fin ds siecle female can find it out.
