The Small Dining Room.

The small dining room is Il very difficult
kind of apartment to treat, yet it has it's
capabilities. To give the greatest effect of
space the walls should be covered with
cartridge paper Of some light tint, or u
paper with gilt dot or disk which Is not
obtrusive, even in a small room. Much
depends in such room upon the hanging
Of the pictures. They should not be too
large or too many, whether prints water
colors or oils. On the side wall shelf
holding good homely delft will add to the
effect. In furniture let an old fashioned
sideboard be the principal feature; have
wooden chairs of the narrow high backed
style, and cover the table with cloth Of
plush satin or velvet of one tint and that
darker than the wall. In summer use den

The Dress Instinct.

is seen now and then. But they are rare
and unnatural specimens and not repre-
sentative of The sex The average woman
takes to pretty clothes just as naturally as
q duck takes to water. 1t is instinct, pure
and simple, aud requires no training nor
development The most untoward condi-

instinct does not always express itself in
the most acceptable way, but very lit; 10

A Novel Flour Chest.

A novel -four chest is in the pantry of
an enterprising little housewife, and it is
certainly worth description. 1t is easily
made and very convenient. 1t is formed
from a cracker box that is large enough to
hold half barrel of -four. Strips of wood
nailed TO each of the four corners raise the
box foot or more from the floor This
gives chance to sweep under the "chest"
without moving it and serves to keep the
-four from becoming damp and to prevent
the mice from troubling it. 1t Is lined
with muslin neatly fitted in and tackled
closely in place. The outside is covered
with wall paper. A cover fits closely, but
can be removed at pleasure and used for a
kneading board. When on the chest, it is
covered with piece of oilcloth.

Wives Of Farmers.

AS class, farmers wives identify them
selves more closely with their husbands
financial interests than any other class OF
women. They are willing to work hard
and sacrifice themselves to help to bug II
home and to educate their children. They
feel that if they cannot earn money they
can at least save 1t. 1t becomes a problem
sometimes how to steer between legitimate
thrift on the one hand and unnecessary
economy on the other. Sometimes a wom-
an works SO hard in trying to increase the
bank account that she ruins not only her
own physical health, but her disposition US

How to Curl Feathers at II ONE.

There are few things that give "a hat a
more rumpled and shabby appearance than
an ostrich feather limp and detected, look
ing almost rs foslorn rs when it and its
follows arrived here fy ,sL from ostrichland.
Any one seeing an ostrich feather then
would think it only fit for the ragbag, but
IA series of brisk scrubbings in warm soap
suds on dashboard, u judicious patching
together and elimination of ragged places
where Sir Ostrich has preened himself too
vigorously, a curling and combing soon
make of the ostrich feather a thing OF
beauty and joy foreyer-until 1t gets wet,
when the process of rejuvenation again
becomes necessary.
If taken to my lady milliner or the less
pretentious feather renovator every time
this duty becomes imperative, the ostrich
plume becomes metamorphosed into some
thing of an elephant to one who bears not
Fortunatus' purse, but the restorative proc
ess is so simple when one knows just how
that every woman can readily become hex
own Feather artist"
Have a teakettle full of boiling water;
shake the feather vigorously through the
escaping steam, taking care that II does
not get too damp. This livens up the
plume and restores briliianoy If 1t he's be-
come dull and dusty. Next take silver
fruit knife and beginning with the feath-
ers nearest the quill take small bunch
between thumb and forefnger and draw
gently over the blade Of the knife until
they curl as closely as desired. Follow THIS
process up each side of the tip, then make
a very coarse comb, comb out carefully
and you have your plume as good a. ever

The Century for the Coming Year.

The Century Magazine celebrates its
quarter. centennial in it's November is.
sue with an Anniversary Number
In honor of the occasion it dons new
dress of type, with new headings, etc.,
and it appears in new and ar tistic
cover. Although The Century has
reached an age that is unusual among
American magazines, it continues
to show the youthful vigOr and en-.
terprise that have always character
lied it. The programme that has been
arranged for the coming year contains
number of interesting features. Much
has already been written concerning
Mrs. Humphrey Wards new novel, "Sir
George Trcssady," which has been
secured for its pages. There was a
very spirited bidding for this novel on
the part of several prominent publish
ers, with the result that the author
will probably realize from the serial
and book rights of it one Of the largest
sums that has yet been given for
work of fiction in the English language.
The story describes life in an English
country-hOuse, and also touches some-
what upon industrial questions. 1t be-
gins in the November number with an
account of an English parliamentary
election. 1t will be the leading feature
in fiction for the coming twelve months,
other and shorter novels being contrib
uted by w. D. Howells, F. Hopkinson
Smith, Mary Hallock Foote and Amelia
E. Barr. There will also be contribu.
tons from Mark Twain and Rudyard

sus, describing little-known people;
articles by Henry M. Stanley and the
late e. j. Glave on Africa; series
OF papers on "The Administration of
the Cities of the United States" by
DR.. Albert Shaw. The Century will
also contain during the year great
number of papers on art subjects, richly
illustrated. Professor Sloan's " Life of
Napoleon" with its wealth of illustra.
ton, will reach its most interesting
part-the rise of the conquerer to the
height of his power, and his final over
throw and exile. In order that new
subscribers may obtain the whole of
this monumental work, the publishers
have made rate of $500, for which
one can have a years subscription from

Some say that guardian angels
Are with us day by day,
To guide us on our journey
And cheer us on our way.
l do not know about It;
would not dare tos,y
That any but my Savior
Attends me on my way.
But II tits true, o Master,
l ask thee in thy love
To send to me my mother
From that bright world above.
She guarded my weak footsteps
When she was with me here;
Now may know she's with me
And feel her presence near.
She'd guide me onward, upward,
And home to thee at last;
And then we'd meet together
When all llfe's storms are past.

THERE is but one sentiment among the

one OF entire disapproval and condemnation.

rights of holding lands in the nation, of

ploded at nine o'clock last Wednesday
morning, killing forty persons, wounding
twenty others and causing property loss
of 100000. The explosion was caused by A
dry boiler, aud was due TO the criminal
careessness Of the engineer. The rescue Of
the victims was a terrible scene. AS the
bodies were recovered they were sent to the
morgue for identihc alton. Some OF them
were horribly mutilated. Th3 work Of
rescue was pushed to the utmost, but
progress was necessarily slow. The debris

mass, upon which quantities of water have
been poured, and into which comparati vely

who were not killed outright ndoubtedly
persisted from suffocaton or exhaustion.
