IMAM OVERHEARD 7"

steamship passengers frequently resort
to practical jokes to relieve the monotony
of voyages, - said a retired sea captain yes
tarday, ''and while the pranks, as a rule,
are perfectly harmless they sometimes have
boomerang effect. Three years ago we
were crossing the Atlantic, and both the
owners and myself were exceedingly ann
ious to make a speedy trip, as rival liner
had the week before lowered the record
held by our company. On the third day
out just about dusk the cry of Man over
boardn rang through the ship, and ii hur-
red investigation elected the information
that several OF the passengers had heard a
splash, followed by pteous appeals of
Help, help. Save me- The engines were
stopped, and the steamer put about, a close
watch being kept meanwhile for the drown
ing man. \ half hour was spent in cruis-
ing about without results, and we started
on our Journey under the belief that the
poor fellow had gone to the bottom.
The inquiry that followed proved puz-
cling. No one was missing, and we came
to the conclusion that a stowaway had COM
mitted suicide.
"The next day, however, an explanation
came. We had a ventrloquist aboard in
the person of very smart young man, who
was too tickled over the success of his joke
to keep the secret.
"Then the laugh was on him. As he had
caused serious delay and much annoyance

entry of the circumstance on my log and
the loss of time, and that on approaching
shore would detain him until a sufficient
guarantee had been put up that he would

about the penalty under the government
mail contract, and it is needless to say he
spent the balance Of the voyage on tender
hooks. He disappeared before we locked,

A BOYS ROOM.

There are boys rooms where love and
good sense and artistic taste have gone
hand in hand, and achieved result that
has seemed to the happy occupants the one
thing to be desired in the way of a room.
\ fair sized apartment with smaller
one opening out of it, is the beau ideal of Il
boys particular retreat, and more like
what he will have in his college days. Here
reasonable bounds, and invite crony or
two to enjoy his particular section of the
family roof, and it was such an arrange
ment as this that the youthful owner at
first sight pronounced eft for king"
1t had been done slowly and with much
consideration, while the fifteen year old
boy was still at school, and it greeted him
like finished picture at his homecoming.
There was no lavish expenditure, yet the
arrangement called for reasonable amount
of money, and this is often forth coming in
cases where no approach to anything like
success has been achieved.
| The rooms were not so sunshiny as could
be desired, but they were the only ones avail
able for the purpose, and the best was made
of them in every way. When quite ready for
occupancy they really looked sunshiny.
The sleeping room was rather small, and
the door between was removed, while, in
stead of portiere, a deep valance of coarse
ecru linen, embroidered in outline stitch
with peoples and daifodils, was hung across
the upper part of the opening. This har.
monized with the woodwork, a light golden
shade of brown, and with all the Other
belongings.
The walls were in golden-tinted cream,
with a frieze of sealing-wax red, and thi.
seemed to fill the rooms with warmth and
brightness at once Both were done alikt
and the frieze was finished with gilt mould
ing on either side. Then the floors wert
taken in hand, and carefully stained tc
match the woodwork. A beautiful Jap.
anese rug was then laid down in the centre
of each room, and fastened with rings tC
brass-hcad0d nails in the floor which made
it an easy matter to take them up and
shake them when the room was swept, and
yet kept them in place for ordinary use.
The two rugs were exactly alike, differ
ing only in size, the ground work being OF
a rich red with a central enclosure of cream
color, on which were figures in pink and
blue outlined with darker red and black.
The bedroom had red cnamelled iron
bedstead, a fac. simile in color of the frieZe,
and the bed-coverings were of creamy
white, relieved by down comfortable of
Turkey red across the foot. The chest of
drawers and the dressing table and chairs
were enamelled in cream picked out with
red, and the broad convenient wash stand
showed the same colorng.
