ARTISTIC APARTMENTS
Are Not Those which Are Crowded
With Ornaments.

A decorator who has his own original
ideas on decorations. says that the great
fault in American houses is over-orna-
mentaton, says the Upholsterer. Things
beautiful In themselves are so crowded
that the eye is bewlldered and can find
no central point on which to rest The
decoration Of a room should eliminate or
centre at some spot. and from that the
lines should diverge according to arts
tic rules. We see the force Of this in
cathedrals where the altar forms the
grand climax of enumeration of fur
nishing. Of course. there are minor CEN
ties as there is always a secondary plot
in every good play, but the eye should
instinctively be guided to the main point
of decoration. In an ordinary house this
is the fireplace and mantel In each room,
and special care should be taken that
artistic rules are not broken In the or
namentation OF that most important part
of the room.

Lift up your voices and be gay
It's better than a circus-day
To see this glittering display

The men who now behold the heights
Each from his humble station.
Forsake the playhouse with Its sights.
It's spangled gauze and twinkling tights,
To watch these mental calcium lights
Shine out upon nation.
Though dull the sky and black the air.
Toward fate we hold no malice;
The burning thoughts which centre there
Must kindle soon a splendid glare,
And cause posterity to stare
At history's borealis.

His Limit.

He brought up coal and chopped the wood with
wonderful suavity
| And laid down carpets all day long with
Christian fortitude.
He listened to his wife's rebukes with unre-
sentful gravity
And left his bed at midnight to prepare the
baby food.
At elevating heated air he showed great YER
satility
flying zeal.
In modifying servants he displayed immense
ability,
And when they left he stirred around and
cooked and served each meal.
consistency,
And when she sent him shopping he was
never known to fail.
He kept on matching ribbons with Parkhurst
ian persistency,
And with great regularity her letters he
would mail
He staid home from the club each night In
dignifed sobrtety
And said goodbSto poker with resignation
sweet,
And every Sunday in their pew he sat in wake-
ful piety,
And at her bidding every text correctly
He wore the garments that she made with
6partanlike agility.
The neckties she selected he displayed with
courage rare.
He sewed the buttons ON his clothes with won
derful docility
I And never touched the tidy when he sat
down in a chair.
But when he caught cold one day, and with
sweet femininity
She put some goose oil on his chest, and fed
him with quinine,
And piled up heated hanpels round his jugu-
lar vicinity,
He said he thought 'twss time indeed that
he should draw the line.
And when she tried parboiling each pedalian
extremity,
And with some porous plasters frescoed him
on either side,
He packed his grip one frosty night and skip
ped for the Yosemite,
And when he reached that milder cline he
laid him down and died.

1t is very undignified attitude in
deed for college professor to be caught
in-that of robbing a graveyard of
dead bodies, as professor of Cotner uni
yersity, Lincoln, Neb., was caught not
long since. But the sympathy Of the
public is with the professor entirely.
He wanted the body to dissect for his
medical students in the interests of
science and humanity. 1t seems that
some of the states have not yet made
provision by law for cadavers for the
use of medical colleges. 1t is time they
did. To put in place and dress a living
muscle doctor must know Just where
that muscle is. He cannot find ont
except he take a body already dead
and dissect it or kill somebody in order
to get at his muscles In every state in
this Union are hundreds of paupers and
criminals who never did society any
good while they were alive. On the
contrary, they have done it nothing but
harm. The least these can do is to be
of some use after they are dead, seeing
that they never were while they were
alive. The dead bodies of these paupers
and criminals ought to be placed by state
law at the disposal of the medical COL
leges after a decent observance of ex-
ternal proprieties over them.
