The Bedroom.

Every bedroom should, II possible,
contain a couch, If ii be only Of wicker.
and especially is one indispensable in
the room Of guest, who frequently
longs for a short nap, but refrains from
taking one in the fear OF disturbing a
beautifully made or decorated bed
Guest furnishings, by the way, should
not be made so fine as to be overpower-
ing. If the room be small. and there
is no other place for a couch. 1t could
be set at the foot of the bed. where,
IL supplied with casters, it may be
easily moved when necessary.
One suitable for use in a bedroom
may be contrived with very little
trouble, and it is astonishing what
treasures the attic will afford.
have a sofa in mind which was so
unsightly as to be absolutely useless.
Il was one of the old-fashioned sort,
with a carved back; not by any means
an antique OF graceful shape and de-
sign, but a thoroughly plebian, I'M
comfortable piece of furniture. The
back was unscrewed and taken off, the
soiled cover removed, and at a small
cost new springs and fresh cover Of
white cotton made 1t ready for pretty
spread and pillows, which transformed
it completely. This spread of sateen
in blue and white matched the hang
ings of the room. and it was made by
sewing a deep frill gathered or on a
cord to a piece of the material of a
suitable size to the cover OF a sofa.
This particular frill, by the way, wes
composed of many small pieces pinned
together, and as it was quite full the
gathers concealed the seams very eff
fectively. When finished, two large
pillows, covered with the same ma
terial as the spread, were added. the
result being luxurious resting-place
on which one might while weary hours
away.

Tic MIsdom OF tho Crow.

A naturalist who is much interested
in birds says that the crow is the wis
est of all feathered animals. He has
made a number Of experiments recent
ly. and declares that an ordinarily well
educated crow can count to twenty, and
that ne has found a sentinel crow, very
old and very wise, that can count to
twenty-six. He made these discoveries
in a very interesting way. Recently
he spent some time in the mountains
of Wales, where company of boys
was camping out. One day he found
a flock of crows gathered round the
body of a sheep that had died, and
which lay near a barn. They flew
away as he approached, so he hid him
self in the barn and waited; but they
would not come back. Then he went
out and walked up the mountain, and
they all settled down again to the feast.
That afternoon he took four boys from
the camp with him and they marched
into the little building and waited. No
crows came back. Two of the boys
went out. Still no crows. Then the
other two went out, and only the natu-
ralist remained. But the old sentinel
crow had evidently counted them as
they went in, and he knew they had
not all come out. At last the natural
list left the building and straightway
all the crows returned. This expert
ment was repeated number of times
with varying numbers of boys, but the
crows kept count, and would not come
down until the building was entirely
apontu

WASHINGTON. July 29.-The state de-
partment has recently been giving much
attention to the conduct of the United
States consuls, and in consequence it
has been found necessary to call for
designations in cases of few OF these
officers. The chief of the consular
bureau, Mr.. Chiffon, has made close
personal inspection of the consulates in
Mexico, and at present he is engaged in
q similar investigation of the affairs Of
the Canadian consulates. In the case Of
the Mexican consulates, the effect of his
work was the removal of several con-

the resignation of United States
Consul Thatcher, at Windsor. Ont,
Henry G. Smith, consul at Santos,
Brazil, has also been invited to give up
his commission, and other changes may
be expected as the result of close in
quiries making into many OF the con-
sulates. A month ago, the United
States vice consul at Paris, Mr. Shrop-
shire, was displaced, but as he was the
appointee of the consul general, this
was O matter that did not directly
concern the state department. In
all of these cases, the department has
declined to publish the reasons for max.
ing changes, contenting itself with the
simple statement that the designations
have been requested for the good of the
service, but it is understood that the
reasons do not go beyond such matters
as inattention to duty, incorrect per.

KANSAS CITY, July 2S.-Relative to
fusion of Kansas Democrats and Popu-
lists, the Times prints an interview with
ex-Congressman William A. Harris in
which he is quoted as saying:
1.-THE Kansas plan is for the Populists
in their state convention at Abilene,
Aug. g.. to endorse the Bryan and Sew.
all electors whom the Democrats will
name at Hutchinson the preceding
day."
ex-Congressman Harris
said: ut is generally understood that
there will be fusion in Kansas this year,
although there have been no confer
ences on the subject, and consequently
no plans have been formulated, but
fusion is in the air. We will nominate
our candidates for state offices and tele-
graph the Democrats the result. They
will endorse our nominees and we will
endorse theirs"
Ex.Congressman> jerry Simpson of
Kansas, who was present during the
interview, is quoted as saying there
was nothing else to do but accept the
plan and ex-Congreeman jeff Hudson
voices the same sentiments.
Senator PETER, interviewed as he
passed through the city ell route home
from the st. Louis convention, said:
1.-The mass of the Populist party
wishes to see William J. Bryan the
next president, and no matter what diff
ferences of opinion may arise, nothing
can prevent him from carrying every
Southern state. He will also carry
every Western state"
He added, slowly: "He will carry
Kansas by 90, ,O00-5O, 900 majority"

Late General Manager Of the Associated
Press Dead.

Late General Manager Of the Associated
Press Dead.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-William Henry
Smith, late general manager Of the AS
sociated Press, died at Lake Forest, Ill.
Mr.. Smith was one of Americas fore
most journalists. He was also student
of historical subjects and was the author
of The St. Clair Papers, two volumes,
Cincinnati, 1882. He was also the au-
thor of the Biography of Charles Ham
mond," wrote several pamphlets and
had contributed frequently to American
periodicals, and while secretary Of state
of Ohio, he founded department of
archives, matter which has been
wholly overlooked since the ad-
mission Of the state, and he sue
ceeded in recovering many valua-
BILE papers which are now on file
in the state house at Columbus. By
his investigations in the British mu-
scum, he brought to light many unpub-
lished letters of Washington, by Col
onel Henry Bouquet, and has shown
that those which were published by
Jared Sparks were not given correctly.
Mr.. Smith also wrote Political His
tory Of the United States," and a life
Of the late President Hayes, as the lit
erary executor Of the dead president.
Mr.. Smith retired from the manage
ment of the Assoc lated Press in March,
1893, and since that time, until his ILL
ness, had employed his time in literary
work.
The funeral will take place at 3 :l5 p.
