Inducements to Move to rrolleyville.

Since the trolley cars in Brooklyn have been reducing the population of the city to such an alarming extent real estate men have had considerable difficulty in persuading people to move from this city over the bridge.
 They are beginning now to offer prizes of all sorts as inducements to de- sirable tenants. Some agents allow the occupants of their property car fare to and from business, while others pay the premium on their fire insurance, etc.
 The following advertisement from a morning paper. however, is considered the top notch reached thus far by the enterprising agents employing the prize method as decoy for the inexperienced house hunter:
 Five rooms and bath in good neighborhood shades, curt ins and carpets free; in first class order and condition; IS minutes to New York city hall; one months rent free and dia mond cluster ring will be given to good ten ant. - Lexington avenue, Brooklyn. New York Evening Sun.

INSTRUCT THE GIRLS
WOMEN WHO HAVE WON FAME IN
 THE EDUCATIONAL WORLD.

They Are Not Yet Numerous, Curious1y
 Enough, but Their Number Is Steadily
 Increasing-Some Information About the
 Annual Army of Girl Graduates.
 There are number bf reasons why some discussion of the college woman, both student and educator, is timely and proper just now. Within the past few weeks some thousands of young women students-probably not less than 1000 all told, without considering the coed ucational institutions -h have become alumnD and started out to travel their diverse ways through life. When, in the autumn, the colleges shall again open their doors to the girls who thirst for tho higher education, the number of students will probably be at least 125,-

DRAPeRY COVERED WALLS.
Directions by Which CretOnnes, Silk and WOOlen Goods May Be Employed.

Directions by Which CretOnnes, Silk and
 WOolen Goods May Be Employed.
 In hanging walls with drapery fabrics the first step is to measure the rooms for the covering. The room must be furred all round the top of the walls and round the top of the baseboard, man. tels, doors and windows, with double turing up and down in each corner, one piece for each section. Fur also around The gas pipes, removing the brackets so that the covering can be put over the pipe. Use pine turing one-quarter of an inch thick and , inches wide, put on with French wire nails.
 If there is to be a frieze or dado, there will have to be turing where th joins the body of the wall.
 Cut the goods off for each section, matching the figures, and press the seams before tacking on. Each section, or that portion lying between two corners, is to be made and put on separate from the others No corners can be turned with whole goods except those projecting into the room. Ill cutting the goods, atten tion should be paid to the figures, to show them to tho best advantage. If at all conspicuous, bring the ccutcr figure into the middle of each section The goods are to be tackled on fiat-that is, without turning under. as the mOlding or gimp would not fit so well over them
 Stretch tightly along the top and bot tom and stretch over and t., X to the corner furrings at each si' Keep tho tacking close to the su it can be easily covered by the gimp, cord or molding. Begin by ccntering the goods and tack them to the center of the space. Draw over to the corners each way and use Il plumb line to get the seams and breadths exactly perpendicular, and be | careful not to stretch the top and bot tom so much that the sides will not come over far enough to make the seams straight. The fabric should all be got into place with stay tacks before the final tacking on.
 If silk or other thin material is used, the walls must first be covered with strong cotton cloth, tackled OH the same | as the outside covering, only not so close | to the angles. If the wall covering is to be plaited instead of being put on fiat, liberal allowance must be made for the plaits, not over double the quantity
 
 ing to the texture of the goods and the manner of plaiting.
 All the tacking is to be covered with molding, gimp, cord or other trimming. Gimp or cord trimming can be fastened | on with glue better than any other method. Use cold fish glue as being | more convenient and safer to handle | than hot glue. Tack one end of the gimp firmly ill the corner, glue only as much of the gimp or trimming at one time as can be handled conveniently; use the l glue hbcrally. smooth the gimp care fully ill its place and secure it with | tacks, which are to be removed when the glue is set. There arc other methods for fastening the trimmings, such as tacks with large heads covered with goods, etc.
 | CretOmeS are HOW put on with paste similar to paper hangings, but for silk or woolen goods turing and tacking is the only method, according to Painting and Decorating, authority for the fore going.

Secret of Good Lemonade.

The secret of good lemonade, accord ing to correspondent of the New York Times, is making it with freshly boiled water. For quart of lemonade take the juice of 3 lemons, using the rind of one of them. Be careful to peel the rind very thin, getting just the yellow out side; then cut into pieces and put with the juice and powdered sugar, of which use two ounces to the quart, in a jug or jar with cover When the water is just at the tea point, pour it over the lemon and sugar, cover at once and let it get cold. Try this way once, and you will never make it any other way.

Strawberries For the Face.

A southern woman says that she has found it good plan when coming in from drive or walk at this season to bathe the face in the juice of strawber- ries. It is cool and refreshing to the skin, and where the complexion is pale adds pretty pink tinSc. The water in which o;.tl;!cal and bran have soaked are old fashioned yet excellent remedies for giving a smooth skin. Some country maidens use a connection brewed from elder flowers to remove freckles. It is less harmful and more effective than many a newfangled drug.

TILE WOOL. BUSINESS.

Recent reports of the wool trade as
shown by the Boston market contain
some interesting and significant figures.
The price of the article has, as is shown,
ranged very low, but it is not to that
reference is made but rather to the sup
ply. In carefully prepared table Hard
ing e. Caverly, commission merchants,
state that during the year 1894 the sales
of wool, foreign and domestic, in Boston
was lS5, lG5,OOO pounds which is 13,OOO,-
600 pounds in excess Of any year since
1885. In 1894 the receipt by bales was.
foreign 1926, domestic 5S5,429, which
was much less in both classes than IN
1852, when The receipts were, foreign
ls7,248 bales, domestic 62S,299 bales.
On Jan. 1, 1895, the stock on hand
was, domestic 31,S23,oO0 pounds. for
eign 5,S35,O0O, while on Jan
l, 1894, the domestic stock
on hand was 37,053,OO0 pounds
and the foreign 5,54S,50O. There
are no deductions to be made from these
figures, yet they are of some interest
alike to the wool grower and the manu-
facturer. The same report states that
the tone of the market is quiet, that the
London auction sales begin on the 18th
and there is a disposition to hold off or
the part of both the buyers and sellers
until the course of the market there il
known. Regarding Montana unwasheC
the following Is the statement: Con
siderable Montana has been disposed o
during the week, and the sales include
choice wool at ll19 and l2 CENTS on,
sale of $4,000 pounds being reported a
the inside figure, but these prices art
extreme and the bulk of the trade hal
been at 10 and ii cents.
