not much more. The sketch presents 4
bookcase thus designed, with a very
useful stowaway place below for papers
and the like. A china closet was built
against kitchen door which led into a
dining-room in a very pretentious apart
ment. A desire to close up the door
and give access through a large closet
was the necessity which uothered the
invention, and not only disguised the
very bad architectural arrangement,
but provided unique closet for choice
china and glass. Glass doors were fit
ted to this one. Two large jardinieres
ornamented the top of the closet, which
was decorated with carved railing.
A pretty effect may be obtained by
breaking the shelves; that is, by max
ing half of one lower than the other
half, thus giving room for large books
or tall pieces of china. Ingenuity will
devise to suit the need, and the super
fluous door made into a thing of use
and beauty.-N, Y. Times.

TOILET TABLE THINGS.
Trifies Which Add tn the Comfort of the
Occupant Of the Boudoir.


Occupant Of the Boudoir.
There are many things necessary
nowadays for the up-to-date toilet table.
One of the requisites, which, FORUM
ately, can be procured without expense
or trouble is a jar of salt-common
table salt, and it Is panacea for many
ills A little of It dissolved in warm
water is sure to remove the slight in
flammation from eyelids Redeemed by
long drive in the wind. If used for
gargle it will allay any slight irrita-
ton in the throat; little should occa-
sionally be put in the water In which
ones teeth are brushed, as it helps to
harden the gums.
Tincture of camphor or tincture of
myrrh dropped into water is an excel
lent wash for the mouth and throat
when the breath is not sweet When
the latter is used the proper proportions
are ten drops of myrrh to glass of
water.
Powdered alum Is another important
adjunct; little should be thrown into
the water in which you battle your
hands before putting on gloves for
crowded reception or ball, when there
might be a tendency TO perspire too
freely.
1t is said that few drops Of sulphuric
acid in the bath water is also pre-
ventive of the too free perspiration of
either hands or feet.
An equal mixture of lemon juice and
rlvcerine is another laid to beauty,n
necessary to toilet tablet whitens
as well as softens the hands.-Detroit

FLOWER DECORATION.
How an UGly and Plain Old House Cal
Be Made Pretty.

Be Made Pretty.
The fashion of decorating the outside
of our town houses with growing plants
has been greatly on the increase OF late
years, and many of the newest and
handsomest residences are now being
built with outside stone jardinieres and
balconies intended expressly for flow
ers and ornamental shrubs In the
country, however, the gardens and
flower beds have hitherto received all
the attention and only cut flowers are,
as rule, used for decorative purposes
about the house itself. Many charm
ing effects in color can be easily pro-
cured by a little clever window and
roof gardening, all the care that is
necessary after the first planting being
to see that the plants are plentifully sup
piled with water. Flowers will grow
and bloom in the greatest profusion in
restricted quarters, always provided
that they have an abundance of air and
light. Even an ugly house may have
an attractive exterior if windows and
verandas are decorated with flowers.
A plain old farmhouse may be made
quite beautiful with very little
trouble by having a shelf with wooden
brackets placed under each window, on
which shelf is nailed a wooden box
filed with earth and planted with
scarlet nasturtium seed. If the shelf
and box and brackets are all painted
green they will amalgamate with the
foliage and be quite concealed in a
very short time. Care must be taken
not to fill the boxes too full with earth,
on account of rains washing over the
dirt, and with painted house perhaps

Everything used IN treating the hair

1t is nice for a girl TO have dainty
toilet articles if she can. Silver, china
and ivory are beautiful on ones dress

can still keep everything that belongs
to her in perfect order, if she will only
take pains, and order is itself beauty.

The free traders who point with
pride to the advance in wages ac-
corded in some rare instances lately
completely disregard the fact that the
so-called advance is in almost every
instance a partial restoration of the
old scale. They also keep silent about
the men who are not making an at
tempt to secure return to the old
scale because they know it would prove
hopeless, nor do they refer to the hun
dreds of thousands who are out of en-

to the galleries, which were filled with

he exclaimed dramatically: "You say

angry when you are charged with it. No
wonder you raise your hypocritical eyes

There were cries of prove it," and
Jackson continued: II repeat just what

me up. There is a barrel of whisky
down there, and it was furnished by the
Whisky League. You are shackled by it. -
Jackson claimed he had been invited to
partake of the whisky, and when the up
roar had subsidized committee of three

HELD UP A FARO BANK
A Masked Man Makes a Winning in
Arizona
At the Point Of a Pistol the Deal Stops and
the Bold Bandit Helps
Himself

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 20.-Congress Hail.
one of the old-time establishments, was
entered tonight by a masked man, who
held up the faro game which was in prog
ress. The dealer, George Huston, saw
the robber enter by side door with a
mask covering his face below his eyes.
Huston thought it was some practical
joker trying to have little fun, and when
the robber covered him, Huston pushed
the gun aside with his hands. The robber
didn't utter word, but showed the gun
up to Huston S breast and with free hand
took about $40 in gold, which he put into
his pocket. He did not take all the gold
and $500 or $500 was not molested. Those
playing at the game didn't move while
the robbery was being committed.
A bartender named Green, who was in
an adjoining room, heard the noise made
by the falling of several twenty-dollar
pieces which the robber dropped. He
thought at first there was row, but a
minute later learned Of the trouble, and
seizing a shotgun loaded with buckshot
started for the faro room. The side door
had just closed after the robber when the
bartender rushed in. AS the robber
turned the corner of the building, Green
shot, but missed his mark. The officers
have not as yet the slightest clew.
