narcotic, it is best to obtain relief, If
possible. by attacking the cause OF the
trouble For instance, if il be accom-
panied by fit Of indigestion, wash

also means which have beer found Of

serve as a cover when the table Is not
in use. There are very pretty ones, in
delft blue and white; and another dain-
ty pattern shown is on pale pink and

ROOM DECORATIONS.
Methods to Secure Heightening and
Widening Effects.

Widening Effects.
To make a room appear higher, the
plane surface Of the ceiling should be
decreased by the holdings of the
cornice, by panels, or, in the absence OF
these, by bands of color performing the
same Office. A vertical system of line
should be adopted in mural decoration,
and the mantel should be lower.
To make a room appear lower, exact
" the opposite treatment should be
adopted; that is TO increase the plane
ceiling, adopt a horizontal system of
mural decoration, with 4 jade and a
high mantel.
To make a room appear wider IS &C.
complished, to certain extent, by MAX

two or more patterns at the top
like those at the foot are found to &C.

SLElGHING NOT WHAT 1T WAS.
Seasons Are Too Brief, and Customs Have

Seasons Are Too Br1ef, and Customs Have
Changed of Recent Years.
In the past few years sleighing has
undergone marked change. In the good
old days one of the chief attractions
for sleighrrs was the road houses, and
to large majority of the sleighing
public an afternoon of the sport was
not complete without visit to one
of those famous hostelries of the road.
But commercial Improvement was the
cause of the downfall Of these hos
,pitable places where frost-bitten pleas
lure-seekers were won't to toast their
shins before cheerful freplaces and
warm up the inner man with steaming
"hot scotches'' and substantial tom
and Jerrys."
Sleighing, as it is INDUCED in to-day,
is more of passing show than in for
mer years. To be sure, there is little
speeding down the center, but this
feature does not bear comparison with
the fast and furious driving which
once characterized the sleighing on the
Arsenal road and the mile ground"
The racing over the snow was the at
Traction then, and the people who did
not join in the lively brushes found am
pie enjoyment in watching the fun
from the side lines. Any kind OF
sled o. runners was good enough, and
style did not cut much of O figure, so
long as the horse was fast. While
the sport has not lost any of it's popu
larity, those who indulge in it have
of late shown a decided inclination
for snowy turnouts, and the frequent
iers of the Brookline boulevard seem
to take as much delight in exhibiting
their nobby sleighs as they once did
in showing the pace Of their sleek
coated roadsters. Handsomer sleighs
will be seen this winter than ever be-
fore, and the craze for novelties is on
the increase. There is no vehicle in
which there Is so great an opportunity
for beautiful lines as In the sleigh,
and none which has in late years been
more improved IN that direction. The
manufacturers are continually aiming
at the artistic, while keeping comfort
and lightness in view. This years rigs
show n remarkable brilEancy of color
instead of the sober colors of other
years. all of which seems to indicate
an evident desire 10 make the sport
a more enjoyable one than ever.-Bos-
ton Herald.

Tanganyika, and reached Livingstone's
farthest point - Nyangwe - on the
banks of the Lualaba, has been told in
detail in my book Through the Dark
Continent" 1t also relates how, after
a tedious land Journey parallel with the
river, made ready my English boat,
collected about a score of native canoes,
embarked my followers, and how, after
a course of nearly 1900 miles, we
reached the Atlantic ocean at the
mouth of the Congo. BY this river voy-
