children had the far end for their study corner, equipped with table, book shelves and their favorite pictures. The man of the house had his pet chair and table with drawer for his beloved pipes and tobacco. A sawbuck made strong rack for his newspapers. A low divan, which was really box with hinged lid, was fitted up as huge work basket for the mistress.
 Another charming sitting;room is furnished as print room. The walls are hung with a plain rich yellow cream paper, having for a frieze graceful design of nasturtiums, inter twining stems and leaves, in pale dull reds and greens. The woodwork, floor and beaded picture rod are stained deep yellow pine. The original man. tel was taken down and the open fire place set with small glazed terra cotta bricks to within five feet of the ceiling. Two huted columns of yellow pine at each end support the overmantel, hav- ing small cabinets, shelf and rail, on which china, old pewter and some bits of red glass are charmingly grouped. A wide low divan fills up one recess by the fireplace, and makes one ideal read ing nook. A curtain of duck, irregular ly patterned in cream, dull red and green, hangs from a rod above the divan, which is covered with pale dull red and well supplied with pillows. A dwarf bookcase built into the other recess with drawers and pigeon holes above, serves as writing desk Old prints and engrav- ings, simply framed in beaded wood, stained chestnut, are grouped ir- regularly on the wall space, heads in one group. landscapes in another, etc. Portieres of the figured duck with bands of dull red at the windows and doors, sash curtains of barred yellow and white muslin at the windows, boxes of scarlet geraniums and mignonette, easy chairs, a table and a floor rug of dull greens, reds and cream complete the furnish ing of this attractive rooD.. all
 These print rooms, which are a feature of English coun " houses, are becoming very popular in America, affording lovers of prints an opportu- nifty to display their treasures While the Bartolozzis, Cosfvay's and other tempting prints at tn art dealers are beyond the average pocketbook, yet some very charming pictures may be found by hunting aiaong the old maga- zines in the secondhand book shops. The up-to-date housekeeper, seeking for novel and art stic effects, will find valuable aids in ,ese old prints.

DECORATIVE HINTS.
How the Summer slttlng-Room Can Re
 Furnished Cozily.
TCoPYRIGHT. 1so5.l

TCoPYRIGHT. 19o5.l
 The sitting-room, although the most used room in the house, is generally badly furnished. Here the odds and ends of furniture, worn rugs and hide ous vases, gaudy tidies and scarfs from Aunt Jane and Cousin Maria, find a resting place. With so many resources at hand-cotton duck in all hues and designs, Japanese crepes and rugs, not to mention the many dainty bits of china of native manufaeture-such a state of affairs is highly unnecessary even on the plea of economy.
 A housewife possessing unusual taste, but a slim purse for it's indul- gence, has evolved a sitting-room that combines comfort and cheerfulness as well as beauty. The wall paper, a quiet tone of Pompeiian red, has frieze of interlacing rings of dull gold, the ceiling being roseate cream. The ugly slate mantel was neatly boxed in wood and an over mantel-two up rights supporting shelf-put up Small shelves were fitted between the s1prights, and narrow beading tackled on the edges to conceal the joinings. Then the mantel was stained brown to match the woodwork and sea-green tiles set around the latrobe. Books, a few pieces of good china and bright fans ornamented the mantel shelves, A pole draped with dull blue cotton duck [ powdered with tiny wreaths of green and red extended from side. wall to chimney breast. .s.t a1n4gf
 The woman who has never tried this cotton duck for draperies will be sur prised at its possibilities. It is soft, yet thick enough to dispense with Things always an item-and lends itself most readily to decoration with either needle or brush, while exceedingly economical and easy to lander.
 \ But to resume: This cozy corner was fitted up with desk having all the paraphcrnalia for letter writing, a chair, scrap-basiet and hanging-rack of handy reference books. A novel desk ornament was quaint little Jap peep ing over the top of an old-fashioned alabaster vase, around which calen- dar was tied with scarlet ribbons.
 On the other side of the mantel the big old sofa, recovered in the dull blue duck and we'll supplied with cushions, was placed crosswise; a two-shelved corner cabinet (made of wood and stained) hung above it and held books and plaster bust of Minerva A Jap anese jute rug in dark tones of brown, blue and red nearly covered the floor. The special wants of the different mem bers of the family were we'll considered in the arrangement of this room. The

THE FOREST sTRANoLER.
It Would He Comparatively Harmless
 But for the Birds

But for the Birds.
 Woe betide the forest giant when he falls into the clutches of the clusia, or fig. Its seeds, being provided with a pulp which is very pleasant to the taste of a great number of birds. are carried from tree to tree and deposited on the branches. Here it gerninates, the leafy stem rising upward and the roots flowing, as it were, down the trunk until they reach the soil. At first these aerial roots are soft and delicate, with apparently no more power for evil than so many streams of pitch, which they resemble in their slowly flowing motion downward. Here and there they branch, especially If an obstruction is met with, when the stream either changes its course or di- vides to right and left.
 Meanwhile leafy branches have been developed, which push themselves through the canopy above and get into the light, where their growth is enormously accelerated. As this takes place the roots have generally reached the ground and begun to draw sus- tenance from below to strengthen the whole plant Then comes a wonder ful development. The hitherto soft aerial roots begin to harden and spread wider and wider, throwing out side branches which flow into and amalga- mate with each other until the whole tree trunk is bound in series of ir- regular living hoops.
 The strangler Is now ready for it's deadly work. The forest giant, like all exogens, must have room to in- crease in girth, and here he is bound by cords which are stronger than iron bands Like an athlete, he tries to expand and burst his fetters, and if they were rigid he must succeed. The bark buiges between every in- terlacing-bulges out, and even tries to overlap, but the monster has taken every precaution against this by mak- ing it's bands very numerous and wide.
 As the tree becomes weaker its leaves begin to fall. and this gives more room for it's foe. Soon the strangler expands itself into great bush almost as largo as the mass of branches and foliage it has effaced. A If we look carefully around us we see examples of entire obliteration "a clusia, or fig, standing on its reticu- lated hollow pillar, with only heap of brown humus at it's base to show what has become of the trunk which once stood up in all its majesty on that spot-Guiana Forest.

THE GUNMAKER OF ILION
Jefferson M. Clough Refuses a Tempting Offer from the Chi-

 Recovered.

From ths Springfield, Mdss, Unton)
 There isn't a gun manufacturer in the y7nited States who does not know Jefferson Nf Clough, and whya Because he has been intimately associated all his life with the development of the two best American -daes. the Remington and Winchester. For rears he was superintendent of the B. Rem snoton SS Sons great factory at Ilion, N. Y.
 A fter leaving there he refused tempting
 nFar of the Chinese Government to go to T,,ina to superintend their government fac sories-and accepted instead the superin- tendency of the Winchester-Arms Co.,, at New Haven, at salary of $7,5o0 year.
 Ii was after this long term of active labor ss q business man that he found himself in- canacitated for further service by the em- horgo which rheumatism had laid upon him
 and resigned his position more than two wears ago, and returned to Belchertown,
 Mace. where he now lives and owns the
 phelps farm, retired spot where he has Ave hundred acres of land.
 peinp man of means he did not spare Yna cost and was treated by leading physi-
 c;sns and by baths at celebrated springs -,5.ho,,t receiving any benefit worth notice.
 nurinp the summer of 1893 and the winter os 1894 Mir. Clough was confined to his house in Bechertown, being unable to rise from his bed without assistance, and suffering
 continually with acute pains and with no taste or desire for food, nor was he able to obtain sufficient sleep.
 Early In the year 1894 Mir. Clough heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. He began taking these pills about the first of March 1894 and continued to do so until the first part of September following. The Arst effect noticed was better appetite and hs began to note more ability to help him. self of the bed and to be better generally. Hast August Qe94) he was able to go alone to his summer residence and farm of 163 z acres on Grenadier Island, among the Thousand Islands, in the river St Law * renee, where from the highest land of his farm he commands view for B miles 2 down the river, and 60 of the Thousand N Islands can be seen.
 Instead of being confined to his bed Mir. z Clough is now and has been for some time z able to be about the farm to direct the men $ employed there and he is thankful for what
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for him. # These pills are manufactured by the pr. & Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, #R, Y, and are sold only in boxes bearing ahe Arms trade mark and wrapper, at 30 z cents box or six boxes for S2.50, and are

The Nlcaragua Canal.

The facts about the Nicaragua canal should be kept in mind. The total length of the waterway between the two oceans is one hundred and sixty nine and half miles Of this twenty six and half miles is to be cut off. The cost is estimated at sixty-five million dollars. This is about twice the cost of the drainage canal in which Chicago is interested. The nearest completed work in the matter of cost and difi- culty to the Nicaragua canal is the Wslland canal in Canada, which is not considered by any means Q remarkable piece of engineering work If the Ill., inois canal and the Nicaragua canal are completed vessel can go from Chicago to Japan without making the circuit of the earth.-Kansas City Star.
