Old. Fashioned Pieces of Furniture In Mod.
ern Guise.
The old fashioned hall settle, which
has been taken in favor, has undergone
Of late considerable change. In its
first form it was ponderous, carved,
semigothic. piece of furniture found
chiefly in black oak, and Of somewhat
too baronial dimensions to fit into the
everyday life of the average hall. Tho
newest settles are somewhat smaller
affairs They are not larger than the
ordinary table-settle of our kitchens,
which continues to be an ironing table,
and which turned back against the
wall, forms the back of convenient
seat. Some Of these high-back settles
are painted in white enamel. The
back and seats are upholstered in Nor
ris tapestries in indigo blue or russet
browns, and they are exceedingly pic
turesoue. These convenient settles
IRE useful in the hall or on the summer
piazza, which can hardly have too
many seats, If it is rs ample asst ought

TO be comfortable the seat ought to
be deep. Where the woodwork is too
rude for enameling, it may be COM
pletely covered up with tapestry or up
holstered all over. The Society OF As

making settles covered in this way

Some of these settles are OF very
large size, with the straight back and
arms and ample seat; and they are bal

siderably smaller than they were.
They are generally made of ebonized
wood or oak, and the straight back is
carved by decorative artists in va

r Girls the world over and in all ages
have been q subject Of surprising ins
terest to mankind. 1t is belief in this
statement and the desire to increase its
application to another generation
which has prompted the girl OF to-day

she is riddle which they have NO time

charm in women, and especially IN

In the simpering sense, butan absence

To be sincere and candid the girl in
society need never be abrupt nor SELF

heart will guide her in her treatment
Of persons who are :uncongenial
The greatest kindness which girl
can do herself in the way of laying up
future benefits is in showing kindness

The adjournment Of Congress has

are no longer turned toward the ma

grateful for this small favor e extended
to them by the Democratic law max

TO the conclusion that perhaps they

the outlook was SO precarious that

of every character throughout the

ever since the fourth of March. Re.

that Il great injury was inflicted by

and that II will take a great deal OF

STRANGE But True.

and conspiracies adopted by great fl.

suits beneficial to themselves, but it is
rare that the public has an open dem
onstralion of the truthfulncss of the
charge. The action, therefore, that
makes the truth of such a charge
plain to the people should not nc for
gotten. Those who advert to it
should not be blamed for calling the
attention to a great truth that has
been heretofore treated by many as
mythical. We allude to the condi.
ton that was attached to the last,
bond sale and that was made hy the

sale was completed, namely that the

question, why these great fuancier

The Special Session.

Gov. Stone has issued his procla.
nation calling together the thirty
eight General Assembly in special
session. The object of which is to
secure necessary legislation to purify
elections, to ecure the passage of a
follow servant bill and to pass laws
restricting the power of corrupt lob.
hyists, who infest the state capital
during every session of the legisla-
ture. Whether the action of the gov
ernor viewed from a party stand.
point is a wise step the future course
of events will have to determine.
Whether the special session will ad.
vance the personal ambition of the
governor will likewise depend upon
circumstances. Aside from these
considerations, the governor has ex-
hibited great courage in his determi-
nation to bring before the people of
this state the true condition that con.
fronts them at each session of the
legislature. With the powerful rail.
road lobby constantly trudging at

seductive charm of a railroad pass,
they have much to contend with. The
State of Missouri is amply able TO

pensalion for the services that are

day is insufficient, and we are inclin'
cd to think so, a salary ought to IL

terests Of the state can he looked
after in a proper and legitimate way
without pay from the lobby. They
ought to he free from temptation
Whether the special session will b,
able to meet the condition rs it exists
remains TO be seen.
