THE HoUSEHoLD.'
Tho New Wall Papers-Delft and
Dresden Effects = Making
O Welsh Rabbit.

The predominating styles in the newer
wall papers are light and airy in gen.
era1 character and coloring, with o
tendency to striped effects. These are
reproduction of Louis XVI styles, and
consist of u narrow stripe Of some color
blue, pink, green or ycllow-on u
white ground, with floral ornament
of graceful trailing sprays of small flow
ers that correspond in color with the pro-
vailing tint of the stripes.
In Difference to the prevailing fad for
old blue, some excellent designs are
shown, either blue on a white ground
or vice versa. These are of various
shades, from tho dark. low tones Of the
old Dutch tile, called delft to the del
icate pale tints called dresden.
One all over design of the popular
hawthorn blossom, with its white and
pale pink flowers is especially dainty
and refreshing, the strength Of the de-
sign coming from it's brown branches
and thorns. Another charming design
of similar character was graceful ar
rangement Of the lilac-bush, flowers
and leaves. One paper-pink-resem
bled very closely draperies of silk, when
in place giving the impression Of pink
silk hanging in full folds from frieze to
surbase. In appearance it possessed the
luster Of silk, and had what is called a
"silk finish
Another entirely different wall cover
ing, and just being introduced, is a print
ed canvas The design is printed usual
ly of some dark, low tone Of color on a
drab canvas, and it is printed with flock
and is very rich i'll texture
A new fabric for wall coverings is the
Morris velvet. New designs Just import
ed show large variety of colors and
styles. The plain colors are deep red,
olive, blue, tan, green, bronze and 9th
ers, all dark, rich tones. The designs of
graceful scrolls or bold floral patterns
on these are different shade of the same
color. A writer in The Decorator and
Furnisher, who reports the foregoing
styles, also tells about the SANITARY
papers:
The new wall papers have quality
that perhaps is not known by all house
keepers. They arc made in such n way
THAT they can be cleaned easily. After
busting they can be gone over with
damp cloth, without danger Of destroy
ing the surface, thereby removing every
element Of dust and lurking microbes
Paper so prepared to Withstand this
treatment is printed on the edges "Sani-
tary."

Latest Novelty In Bells.

A wheel of bells is the latest novelty.
1t is designed for doorbell or for a
dinner gong. At her country place in
Chappaqua, Mrs. Clendenin Gabrielle
Greeley has had wheel Of bells put up
at the front door. 1t is placed with the
ball and chain at the right. A slight
pull at this chain makes the bells jingle.
The wheel is Of wrought iron and at the
end of each spoke is small silver bell.
When intended simply as pretty piece
of house furniture, for instance din
ner gong, the wheel bell is made of pol
ished wood. The chain of wrought iron
is suspended from the wheel over a
hinged bracket Of carved wood. 1t
springs from lapis lazuli knob, and the
ball at the end Of the chain is of lapis

A PLUCKY NlNE-YEAR-OlD.
Saved His Baby Sister From the Clutches
of q Hungry Bear.

OF Hungry Bear.
James, the 9-year- old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Gregerson, is the hero of
the hour on account Of having saved his
baby sister from the clutches of hun
cry bear and then with his fathers
rifle killing the animal.
The Gregersons reside o few miles
from Olga. Mimi, and the other day
left James to keep house and care for
the baby while they did some shopping
During the afternoon the bear made its
appearance at the house, driving James
from the room where the baby lay. The
boy recovered his nerve in q few mo-
ments and on returning to the room
was Mortified to see the bear clawing at
the bedclothing on the crib where the
baby was lying With CRY Of terror
the boy, without moments hesitation,
dashed into the room past the astonish-
ed bear, and, catching the infant in his
arms, made race for the door, reach
ing it just ahead of the now angry brute.
Closing the door, James deposited the
child i'll place of safety, and, return
ing to the house by the back way. Sc.
cured his fathers rifle Pointing the
muzzle through the window of the room
in which the bear was Gagged, he fired
several bullets into the animals body.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Gregerson return
ed, al hour later, they found James
hiding i'll the barn with the baby, while
the bear lay dead upon the floor of the
house. Beyond a few scratches the baby
was unhurt. st Louis Globe Democrat.

THE COUNTRY I'M MINIATURE
Senator Cannon Wants q Gigantic Ground
Map of tho United States.


Map of tho United States.
Senator Cannon Cf Utah has intro
duced a joint resolution in the senate,
the effect of which, if it is enacted into
law, will be to give to the city of Wash
1ngton perhaps Il more curious and gil
gantic attraction for tourists and curios-
lty seekers than is possessed by any 9TH
er city in the world. Mr.. Cannon pro-
poses, i'll short, to have constructed q
monstrous map Of the United States,
showing every physical feature Of the
country; every hill, mountain, valley
and plain; every lake, river duck pond
and fishing pool; every hamlet, village,
town and city, probably every railroad
and canal. All this is to be done in
miniature, Of course, but on such u scale
as will give map, if it may be so
termed, no less than half a mile in
length and third of mile in
breadth The cost of such n project may
be left to the imagination.
The joint resolution by Mr.. Cannon
provides for the appointment of COM
mission of five persons, who arc to serve
without compensation, three being ap-
pointed by the president, one by the
president of the senate and the other by
the speaker of the house, whose duty
shall be to inquire into and report upon
the advisability, practicability and cost
of establishing such map, which Mr..
Cannon describes as ground map of
the United States to present our coun-
try i'll miniature"
The map is to be constructed on such
a scale that one foot of map surface will
represent one square mile of actual area.
This would give, Us stated, map ap-
proximately half mile in one dimen-
sion by one-third of n mile in the other,
for, in round numbers, the United
States extends about $500 miles from
east to west and about half that distance
from north TO south. This would make
a map $500 feet long by 1850 wide
That Mr.. Cannon is serious in his prop
osition is indicated by the fact that in
presenting tho joint resolution he an
nounced that i'll few days he would
address the senate on the subject. New
