THE PAPER HANGER.

The following rules are for the scraping and treatment of walls of various kinds preparatory to papering:
 If walls have been previously papered, it is advisable to scrape of old paper. not only from sanitary standpoint, but also to ins:Ee a perfect job. Paper hangers can not be too vigorous in advising customers to have walls and ceilings scraped previous to rcpspering.
 To remove ordinary wall paper soak the paper by applying hot water with an old brush and then scraping with hand or pole scraper.
 Heavy papers, such as feathers and felts, should be treated to a coat of hot paste thinned down to the consistency of cream. After a few minutes soaking remove by scraping
 Whitewashed walls should be scraped after thoroughly wetting the walls with thin paste or water: then size with strong sizing. If whitewash is not thick or scaly, a strong solution of vinegar will answer all purposes.
 For damp walls We advise either one, two or three coats of shellac over the damp Sur face. or tinfoil which is put up in sheets can be tackled and pasted over the damp spots.
 For vanished paper mix about two pounds of common brown sugar or molasses to one-half bucket of water; then apply like sizing This mixture is also good for oil ferred to either.
 For oil painted walls dissolve two pounds of pearl ash in bucket 6 water and apply like sizing.
 For calcimined walls wash wallsRpd cell tngs with large sponge; then ybly ordi- nary sizing. New walls should have a coat of weak kstzing.-Philadelnhi Rscnrd-

Fashion Notes.

The new silks are mOires striped with satin en bayadere and plain satins fig ured with chine figures ill contrasting color.
 A novelty of the season is the manu- facture of silks and satins especially for waists.
 Satin and moire effects, despite all rumors to the contrary, still prevail in rich goods, and dull finished silks for the time are abandoned.
 While frock coats and strictly tailor made gowns are commended there are also new blazer suits for spring and sum- mer wear. These are of finely twilled serge or else hopsacking, with revers and sleeves of moire antique or of the wool, as the wearer chooses. The "monocle' has gone out of fash ion abroad. It is said that those who still cling to this ugly single glass might be counted on the fingers of both hands Children s frocks intended to be wash ed are so made that they will draw out quite fiat and be easily ironed, and at the same time easily gathered back into shape.
 A capital spring cloak for children is made ill cream gauffer cloth, a pure woolen material, which is inexpensive. Washing cloaks are a new feature, made in fawn china tussore and lined so that they are not unduly chilly. They arc suitable for girls up to 12 years old.

Penny wise and Pound

Penny wise and Pound foolish" are those who think it economy to use cheap rosin and soda soaps, or washing powders of any kind, instead of the good old Dobbins' Elec- tric Soap for sale by all gro- cers since 1869, and used dur ing all that time by millions of intelligent economical wo- men who KNOW its merits and therefore use it. All who use it praise it as the best, cheap
 est, and most economical soap made, but if you will try it, even just once, It will tell a
 much stronger tale of its mer- its ITSELF. Ask your grocer for, Dobbins' Electric Soap, take nothing else.

Table-Talk. From HarperIs Bsxar

ffom darpefs bszAr.
 Our manners at the table are quite ss important ss the food provided for our guests. A lady, the word being used advisedly, is known by her gentle bear ing and her consideration of the feelings of others. She Is always s good listener, and never bores her neighbor with long tales of her own domestic troubles and veIations- It is clearly the duty of . guest to make herself as sgreesble ss shs can when she Is dining with friends. If she lspses Into silence, and gives up to the mood of the moment, she is likely to become very stupid. One should be ct one's best, and try to draw out the best in one's neighbors. Sometimes 1t Is 6 very hard matter to make conversation; but there is no individual In the world who cannot talk on some one subject, and by . little effort one may be able to hit that subject. Men, ss rule, like to be listened to. and c clever woman can easily draw . man out, SO that he thanks his hostess in his heart for c most delightful evening. There isn't a man in the world who would get the shghtest atom of amusement or pleasure from hearing Mrs. A tell of how Chsrlie had the whooping cough, and what @ dreadful time she was having with her cook. He would neither be amused, nor would he try to conceal his boredom. On the other hand, a woman smilingly and sympathsticslly listens to her neigh bor, who talks for sn hour about horses, of which she knows nothing. He, how ever, is sublimely unconscious that she is not more interested in horsehesh than in anything else in the world. And SO we women would do we'll to post ourselves in these various subjscts, which men are prone to discuss, so that st lesst we may know what they are talking sbout, sud be able to respond with some d, gree of intel hgence, if we wish to make ourselyts sgree- able in their society.

PuRLIO nIARRIAaEs.


 When the wedding bells are ringing, when the bride is sure she has caught CD, and when the bridegroom realizes that al the beauty, sweetness and light that the world contains Is his to have and to hold, there is no effort to avoid publicity. h. deed, all we'll regulated folks make point of letting other folks know all about their marriage and of inviting ss many as 8 dwelling house or meeting house will hold to see the satisfying spectacle. But when che who was the bride feels that she has been caught, and he who was the bridegroom no longer wants to have and to hold that which he was once sore afraid he would never be permitted to Iy bound has become a chain that gals; when sdulteration or adultery has de- stroyed the pure quality of matrimonial life and love; and when the two who flew gaily together are trying to fly sadly or wIckedly apart then Ca divorce without publicity" is even more fervsntly wanted than was 8 wedding with publicity.
 Judge G. W. Wheeler favors as much publicity for the divorce as there was for the wedding, or even more. We think he Is right in this. When people speculate in matrimony they shouldn't find fault when an account showing even a total loss is presented to them. And we do not be- lieve that public divorces are more harm ful and demorslizing than public we'd dings. What we should like to see is less publicity in getting married. There is frequently ss much vulgarity in a public wedding ss there is in 8 public divorce. All the flowers, the presents, the fine music, the smooth words, Aud the hypocri- tical admiration cannot cover 1t up. It is there, plain to all who have half an eye, And public weddings which are not whol. ly vulgar are usually more or less so. Who does not know it2 AS we look at it, il would be more sensible to make less of 6 show and more of . sacrament of mar risgs, If possible If that can't be done, wouldn't 1t be sensible to treat marriage ai what 1t seems to be, a speculation When wise speculators begin 6 deal they don't go around Inviting public attention to 1t and letting everybody know how much they have staked on the outcome When they have made strike is the tim, to blow If they blow at all. If sverybod, doesn't know what they put in everybod. won't know what the loss is when the des Is a failure. So 1t isn't very sensibl to invite public attention too openl. to investments in the matrimonia market If such investments wer moro quietly made, even those whicl turned out to be . total loss and whose ac counts became public by going through th divorce court clearing house, wouldn't .
 humiliate the makers of them @ the ir
 v.stments made with such publicity a

 to an investor to lose and have the peopl ] who heard him blowing at the time of hl investment realize and comment upon th l difference between TOW and then.

JAMES P. PIGOTT, IDEALIsT.

JAMES P. PIGOTT, IDEALIsT. These are degenerate days, and there is not much hero worship in them. Often there Is not even decent appreciation of and gratitude for distinguished public service. It is Q disoouraging state of affairs, but what can be expected of people whose ideal Is the dollar. and whose lives are spent in busy, persistent and never satisfied pursuit of it!
 Fortunately for the country, thsre Is 8 saving remnant who do not look upon a sordid and ignoble prosperity as the chief end of man, and who can even see that in the soil of poverty the flowers of lofty living houri.h best. These know that they arc doing their highest duty by their fellow men when they are taking away from them their muck heaps and their muck rakes, and teaching them by the loss of that which they have held too dear to turn their eyes and their thoughts toward the stars. In this knowl- edge and in this spirit spoke and voted the other day the Hon. James P. PIgott, who represents this district in congress. He is an idealist of the loftiest and most encour- aging kind, and If there has been any doubt that he represented that which Is the best in his district 1t need exist no longer. He evidently does not believe that material prosperity is good for the souls of his constituents. The vulgar activity that prevailed before he was elected in such places as Birming- ham and Waterbury is evidently distsste- ful to him. He does not want the beauh- full city of New Haven given over to cor set-making and other indsIicate industries. He does not want people in any part of his district kept awake nights by the hum of daytime to supply the demands of a soul less commerce. He does not want the workingmen of the district to have such steady work at such high wages that their minds and the minds of their contented families will bs diverted from a high ideal. And above all he doesn't want those who have incomes of over four thousand dollars to feel so comfortable that they will forget that this world is all feettng show.
 Of course many of those in this district who are kept out of work by such noble idealism as that of which MT. PIgott Is @ devoted and a conspicuous exponent will complain. So will some of those who happen to have an income of over four thousand dollars a year. But that need not disturb him. He knows what Is good for his district, and he has not hesitated to act in accordance with his knowledge. He has lofty spirit, and though 1t would perhaps give him some little pleasure to ride on the shoulders of admiripg constituents, just ss his great ex- emplsr rode on the shoulders of his sd mirers in the house the other day, he would still be himself if he should find himself riding on the shsrp rail of popular disspproval next election day. We shouldn't be surprised If he were to have this experience. for this is a sordid dis trict, and 1t will be hard to make even a majority of its voting inhabitants under stand that free trade and an income tax are beneficial to their souls.

FASHION NOTES.
watermarks of Elegance

Moire is just now @ most fashionable material and it must be thick enough to stand alone. Skirts very wide ct the foot. eored to fit without a wrinkle at the hips both front and sides, and hanging in deep organ-pips folds below, arc made in white and black moire. The wstermsrks run up and down the skirt, not round and round, thus guaranteeing the most expensive ma terial. For 1t must be either the extra width that allows the length of the skirt to be made of the width of the stuff, or 1t mus. be the moire patterned along the length instead of across. Such 6 skirt has
