The Home of the ouincys In quincy.

There will be very general gratitica-
ton in the authoritative denial of tho
rumor that the old homestead of tho
Quincys, in Quincy, Mass, must give
way before the march of progress. 1t
still remains in the Quincy family, and
will be sacredly guarded from the de-
stroyer's hand many year to come.
This venerable landmark, situated
some 100 yards back from Hancock
street, dates back to colonial days, when
the Adamses and the Quincys kept
"open house" for all the dignitaries of
those early times. Here Washington
and Lafayette, successive governors OF
Massachusetts, Boston's mayors and
prominent national, state and municipal
leaders were often made welcome. Here
were born and reared two of Boston's
distinguished mayors, the grandfather
and great grandfather of the present
mayor, who was himself born in the
only less famous Quincy mansion, which
stands near by; here, TOO, i'll later days
were entertained right royalty illustri-
GUS authors and statesmen, noted dl-
vines, scholars and educators. Ralph
Waldo Emerson, E. P, Whipple, James
T. Field, Horace Maih and scores of
their contemporaries enjoyed its hospi-
tally. Boston Herald.

Holly Asiatio Merchants.

A large number of the merchants en-
gagged in trade gave me one day sump-
tuous feast III fruit garden short dis
lance outside Yarkand. Few people
know the way to enjoy life and make
themselves comfortable better than
these merchants We first of all sat
about under the shade OF the trees, while
huge punches of grapes and delicious
melons and peaches were freshly plucked
and brought to us to eat Then dinner
was announced, and after water for
washing the hands had been passed
round, we set to eat dish after dish of
"pillaos'' and stews, all beautifully
cooked, and we ended up with a pud-
ding made of whipped egg and sugar
and some other ingredients, which it
would be hard to beat anywhere. All
the time the merchants We're chatting
away among themselves and were as
gay and tulkative rs Frenchmen. You
could scarcely wish for better company
or more genial hosts.
On the way home we had races, each
merchant trying to mako out that his
own horse was better than the others.
These men are curious mixture Of
eastern gravity and politeness and boy
ish spirits and fun. They will come to
call on you and talk away with the
greatest solcmnity and Difference. You
meet them next day out for q burst of
enjoyment, and every sign of gravity is
thrown away and they are as free and
natural and full of life as children

the following particulars regarding the

"The tune of 'Anacreon in Heaven
was composed by John Stafford Smith,

song which became The Star Spangled
Banner 1t is entitled TO Anacrcon in
Heaven, and is one of those bombastic,

were in vogue during the last century.
That it was very popular in London is
proved by the fact that Braham made it

Quaint. Cool Apartments Furnished In
blue and white.
White enamel bedroom sets are as
of country houses. The surface is
either Of plain enamel with brass trim
mlngs, or with decorators of Delft
blue in the form of little landscapes,
showing where pretty blue bridges
stretch over equally pretty blue streams
where there are boats on the winter and
windmills by the shore, or bachelor
buttons are painted in clusters or sent
tered singly over each piece. The blue
decorations may be conventional in de-
sign and take the form of empire
wreaths of leaves or flowers, or of
scrolls.
Often a few decorated pieces, toilet
table and chair or two, or perhaps a
cheval glass, may be the only decorated
pieces used with a plain white set.
Again, the blue may only appear in the
wall paper or hangings, or in the mantel
ornaments and clock and lamp shades,
which may be Of Delft blue and white.
The light through the globe-shades of
Delft blue and white is particularly
pleasing when it lights up really good
little view of land and water. These
shades are, however, high priced. On
the low-priced shades the drawing Is
very poor, and the boats ride in the
sky, and the windmills occur in most
impossible places and positions. These
blue and white shades look their best on
lamps of wrought iron. When blue and
white is not chosen for n bedroom,
green and white, old pink and white,
or violet and white are cool-looking
colors to put together. Often young
woman who can paint flowers well
decorates a window seat, a rocking
chair and a writing desk for herself.
Such room is charming when the
decorations are violet and the white
wall paper is also scattered with the
same flowers, with many of them in o
festooned freize where there are many
green leaves. This extreme daintiness
of coloring should, however, only be
chosen for room where the maids who
care for the house or the maiden who
occupies it has leisure to keep il i'm
maculate. When light coloring is de-
sired, and white is not liked, curly birch
and bird s-eye maple are both used for
bedroom furniture. White furnishings
have most opposite effects on different
persons. One woman who has white
room finds it's glare tiresome, another
thinks it restful.-St. Louis Republic.

opoR OF FEATHERS.
1t Is Due to Their Being Improperly or
Hastily Cured

It Is Due to Their Being Improperly or
Hastily Cured
Properly cured feathers have no odor
When there is close, disagreeable odor
present, it is due to their being inn
properly cured. There is no remedy
which we are aware of for this Airing
the feathers will do no special good.
The smaller the stem of the feather
the less danger of trouble. The odor
comes from the decay of the animal
matter in the pith of the feather, and
the larger the stem the greater the pro
portion of this matter and the more
likely to be trouble. Where feathers
have been subjected 10 the proper de
gree of heat at the beginning before
decay takes place all the pith is thor
oughly dried out and cannot become
odorous. Where the pith has once
been left I'd decay and infect the feath-
ers with its foul odor, harm has been
done that cannot be completely undone
It is waste of time TO attempt TO disin-
feet such feathers. All feathers should
be dome over" at least once in six or
seven years. They are improved by
hanging them out occasionally in the
rain and sun, TO enable the ticks to be-
come thoroughly aired and cleaned.
Modern invention has introduced
little modern ventilator in the side OF
the new pillows which pumps air
among the feathers, and, it is said.
makes the pillow lighter. IL always
pays to buy the best feathers, because
they are so much lighter, that bulk for
bulk the best are no dearer than the
poorest. Tt is generally cheap feathers
with coarse quilts that become odorous.
