A bookcase should, If possible, find
q place in every room Of the house. un.
less, perhaps, we except the dining
room, usually kept for the purpose of
dining. as it at once adds the charm OF
comfort and LONELINESS, besides being a
most useful possession. Without books
q home lacks it's best ornaments, and u
fill an odd corner there is nothing so
nice as pretty, well-designed book
case. Naturally, we should not uso
the same design for the different
rooms. In this. as..in all things, appro
priateness has to be considered. 1t
must suit the style of the roora, and be
in keeping with the other furniture.
For the library IL is usual to have
fitted bookcases, in oak or wa5aut,
which are sometimes carried from,
floor TO ceiling, but may be made only
half way to form afdado, the toy shelf
being furnished with handsome, mold
ing and forming ledge for the display
OF a few choice ornaments
In the sitting-room hall dwarf book
case, with nicely carved pedestal mold
ings, looks extremely well, and will be
found very handy for books of ref
erence.
A still simpler bookcase maybe made
by fitting three shelves into recess
and finishing the edge with y small
bead molding, or even a good silk
fringe, and suspendirg silk curtain
from the lowest shelf to,the floor. be-
hind which newspapers, etc, may be

The extension of Egyptian rule now

prevailed when Egyptian rule there

their methods were Turkish-that Is

destructive of prosperity. Slavery ex-
tsted in Egypt, and in d worse form

ooudan, but under a decree of the
khedive in November last, enforced bv
the English influence, it has ceased

his certificate of nanumission.
