An English Furnishing Scheme

The old English fashion of chintz-
covering furniture for the drawing
room cannot be too highly commend
ed, and if any manufacturer would
reproduce the old glaze covered VITA
roses and othCr gay flowers, it would
undoubtedly command a ready sale.
A drawing room done in such a
chintz suggests the faint fragrance OF
''potpour1i' of rose leaves in Indian
jars, cabinets and old china and other
delightful associations. The chairs
should be low and deep-seated and
springy, the sofa long enough and
wide enough for a comfortable ~siesta,
an ample, well-equipped writing table
is a sine qua non, together with small
tables covered with books and periodi-
Gals, rather than brick-a-brac. How
much better all this would be than the
p~lush-cOvered "suit' goes without say
ing. 1t means refinement, taste, har-
monious atmospheric one may use
the familiar atmosphere Of the day, 1t
is swell" whereas the "parlor suit Is
not.

THE END.
Keep the Live stock in Good Con
ditiOn.

1t is the best and safest plan to put
all the live stock IN winter rations in
good time. and before they become
really hungry and lose flesh by want Of
nutriment in the food gathered from
the fields. As soon as a frost has taken
the starch out of the heritage, and les
sened its ability to nouriSh an animal,
the main supply of food should be
given from the winter stores. To fall
off is to keep ont Of condition all
the winter. 1t is quite possible TO
stall-feed an animal with success in
the winter, but the consumption Of
food will be considerably increased
over and above what would be re-
CURED at any other season. 1t is an
old saying, IN animal we'll summered
is half wiatered. 1t is more easily
kept so than it can be recovered from
q lower state Of health and vigor.
Thus, just now it should be the effort
TO prevent any falling off in the condi-
ton, and put all the stock into winter
quarters in as fine a state of health as
is possible.-Orange Judd Farmer.

A Practical joke.

Numes Of the Gate theater in Paris
one night played trick ON Roumain,
his fellow actor, which created no little
amusement. In one Of the scenes in the
third act of tho 'Charbonniere, Rou-
main, after standing awhile in dumb
despair with his hands to his face, sud-
denly turns toward the audience. dis
playing his pale, haggard features. To
produce tho degree Of ''pallidness" re-
Quired, Roumain carried in his pockets
a quantity of white face powder, which
he rubbed On the palms of his hands
when the proper time had arrived.
Now, Numes had secretly removed the
white powder and substituted hand
full Of charcoal dust. You can imagine
the result. The spectators laughed till
they were blue in the face. But Rou-
main swore vengeance-dire vengeance
and some of these days We may ex-
pect to hear Of another pleasant even
ing" but ut Nume's expense this time.

The jackson Wing says Of the Tay-
lor Bros, of Tennessee, who are to
lecture at the Y. NJ. C. A. auditorium
Saturday evening on yankee Doodle
and Dixie"
bob and ALI Taylor make a pair
that is hard to beat. The Taylor
family will occupy no uncomfortable
space in the history of Tennessee,
and perhaps no more unique COM
bination has ever arisen than the two
brothers, Bob. and ALI. Both have
represented the same congressional
district; they were candidates against
each other in the famous cam
paign known as the War of the
Roses when Bob was elected and at
the end of his term reelected. At
the close of his term as governor,
Bob took to the lecture platform and
Immediately became the greatest
drawing card before the footlights.
When ALI Taylor quit politics the
happy thought occurred that they
might again, not as political oppon-
ents, but as amusement makers stand
upon the same rostrum and together
portray the characteristics, the ro-
nance and the love songs of the
American people. They have never
failed to draw crowded houses. No
other lecturer or mbinAtfon of lee
turers could have packed Pythian
opera house as it was packed last
evening. Sam Jones. with all his
drawing power, would not have had
one-third of the audience. Talmage
possibly might have drawn two
thirds as many. Few, if any, of the
most popular theatrical stars could
have so filled the house.
.'Bob seems the leader. He puts
ALI forward to blazon the way, to try
with what magic touch he may play
upon the hearts of the vast assembly.
For himself he gives no thought to
dignity. He is the mimic, clown,
fiddler, dancer, vocalist, humorist
and joker. His object is to make
people laugh. and while he does it
he seems careless of the fact that it
is largely At the expense OF an oppor-
tunity Of displaying those grander
flights Of which he is capable. In
that lies his constant danger. The
orator does not grow necessarily
more sublime with time and age.
Nothing is more common than to find
them satisfying themselves with the
laughter and plaudits won by humor
and tricks Of speech which after
time become habitual."
