painted each room In different tint.
The two great old fireplaces, which had
stood 200 years, We're left untouched ex-
cept for trifling repairs to the brick
hearths. The total cost of the repairs
including considerable carpentry work
for the room was in bad condition
was only about $3.50. This sum includ-
ed some wall decoration of ancient
armor and weapons, to which the MEM
hers have since added, and now when
upon chilly night the big-wood hres
blaze in the old hearths there is not a
cheerier room in the city.
1t is no longer common to build
houses with such high ceilings as were
in Mvor Is or 20 years ago. Every foot
of height in the ceiling requires more
than IL foot of length in the stairway,
and every stair must be trodden over
many times & day by every member OF
the family. Where in such houses
ceilings Is or even IS feet were some
times used by the builders of former
day, 10, ~ or even IL are now more
usual heights. In country house OF
moderate size 1 should favor a ceiling
on the first floor as low as 10 or even 6
feet 6 and on the second floor feet6 OF
feet. When the height of q room il
lessened its extent seems greater, and
decorative effects of a cozy sort are
more easily produced than in higher
rooms.
1t 10 the greatest mistake of amateur
decorators to apply upon their walls
heaviiy-tinted, figured or gilded paper;
fineriffect can often be produced by a
six-cent plain cartridge paper upon the
walls with a dainty frieze In delicate

tween which q dado or Drae d,n!rn can
be applied as if it were wall paper;
above the chair rail the wall can be laid
with plain cartridge paper with small
frieze of garlands, and the ceiling may
be a dainty aud delicate cream tint,
almost white. The kitchen plaster
ing should be painted in oil so that it
oan be kept clean easily. The parlor
may be decorated with wall paper in
the Louis XVI. patterns, which are SO
popular this spring, the bedrooms in
chatzes and in Dresden designs, each
in adifferent color key.
The remo@eling of an old house in
town is an interesting study for dec
orator. A very successful treatment
in altering houses of the high stoop
and basement order once so common in
New York is to tear away the stoop and
drive front entrance of generous
width into the baseIne4t itself, with a
narrow side entrance to the rear for
tradesmen. In such a design, the front
basement will contain tiny reception
room or even IL reception alcove from
the entrance hall, the stairs will rise in
easy flights in the square hall in the
middle, while behind. reached directly
from the side entrance, the laundry and
kitchen may be placed. On what was
the first floor we find in front a library
or lounging room, the full width of the
house; next to that the square haia

extension added for the purpose, II

"THEHOUSE BEAUTIFUL" "
It Need Not Be Expensive, Says
an Expert Decorator.
Artistic Effects NOT Costly-George A.
shastey Upon the Latest Novelties in
Interior Observation-Disclosures Made
by Amateurs In This Line.
TcopYR1cHT, 1861


1t is q common error to suppose that
dainty decoration is an exclusive pos
session of the rich and well-to-do.
This error is due largely to the fact
that in articles and publications devoted
to the decorative arts, expensive de-
signs are usually chosen for illustration
and description; but while it is easily
possible to spend $4,000 upon the deco
ration of a room of moderate size, it is
also possible to produce for one-tenth
of that cost, or even for a far smaller
sum than that, an effect in equally good
taste.
There is no reason why anyone with
limited means at his command should
hesitate to attempt artistic decoration,
if it is executed by a competent hand.
For myself, would get far more pleas
ure in decorating house of moderate
cost, where the ingenuity would be
taxed to save as much money as possible
in producing effect, than in executing
one of those carte blanche orders which
are so often given to American decora-
tors. The profit would be less, but the
artistic problems to conquer would
fascinate the genuine artist.
The decorations OF house should,
when possible, receive consideration be-
fore it is built, and in the planning of a
new house, however inexpensive, the
services of competent ntarchitect should
be employed; even if one must pay him
seven and half per cent.-and few
architects of good standing will under
take small single houses for less than
that-he will save two or three times
the amount of his fee in actual econo-
mics of construction or in improve
ments which the house might not other
wise contain.
But to begin with the problems of the
decorator.
The typical case, we will say, is that
of an American family which will this
spring move into house, either new or
not, which has been purchased, built or
leased for such term of years as to
constitute real home. If the house is
new and was not designed by the own
er's architect, it is sometimes possible,
at least in the cities, to buy it at re-
duced price before the wood work has
been laid on or the finishing touches
completed. In such cases a house can
proftably be put into the decorators
hands for harmonious treatment; in the
finishing of an ordinary three story city
block house, or of a country house of
corresponding size, $1,000 can be made
TO produce very beautiful effects.
Assuming that the house is a narrow
one in block with the ordinary base
ment dining-rocm and straight narrow
stairs, the dining-room can be simply
finished with Il base ard chair rail. be-

coIors.
Our colonial builders were wise in
this regard. There must have been, in
the days when our best specimens of
colonial buildings were erected, con-
siderable body of carpenters with the
true artistic conception of the beauty
of line. The colonial builder left his
wall, the pilasters of the mantels and
the trims of the doors severely plain, or
at the most with perpendicular lines
| emphasizing the conservative idea; but
upon the capitals of the columns and
pilasters and on the friezes of his walls
he lavished the daintiest and most beau
tiful ornamentation. 1t is because of
this artistic reserve that the colonial
models are to-day the safest and most
beautiful to follow, whether in interior
or exterior work, especially in houses of
moderate cost.
In more costly work the most popular
styles at present are for parlors. Louis
XVI, modified generally by the use of
more delicate tints and lighter and
GRATED in the style of Louis XIV. or Louis
| NVI. Smoling-rooms are almost uni
versally treated in the Turkish or other
Oriental styles of which the famous
smolling-rooms in the Hotel Waldorf
are, perhaps, the best-known examples.
In city houses built after the most re-
cent ideas, such smoking-rooms are gen.
orally placed in the front basement; in
older houses, smoking-room, billiard
room and growlery combined may
sometimes be arranged in the topmost
story of all, or when space is limited
such room may be built bodily upon a
fiat roof, as the artist, w. Hamilton Glib
son, has placed his studio. The gossip
SO often seen from irresponsible sources
about ladies' smoking-rooms is utterly
absurd. In o private house I have yet
to hear of such room being fitted up
For library an old English design with
heavily panelled ceiling is appropriate
1t is usual, and probably in better taste
to decorate a dining-room in duller and
quieter tones than those used in the gay
and airy parlors. If the room is at all
inclined to be dark, as it will be in a
basement but will not be in an exten-
sion, wood work in natural oak or cher.
ry tones may be employed to advantage
and upon the wall paper in light terra
Gotta without gloss, which really re
fleets the light better than many gilded
papers which seem of much gayeg and
lighter appearance when seen in the
roll. GEORGE A. SCHAsTEY.

END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR.
a French Priest Says That Sept. 10
is the Date Arranged.
From DC Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
1t Is a most remarkable book that has
just been issued in the little town of
Vichy, France, and of which a single copy,
so far as it known, has made its way
to this country. Its author is the Able
Dupin, cure of the village of Dion, ana
he declares that he has discovered indu-
bitable evidence of the approaching end
of all things. The great coup" as he
calls it, will, he assures us, takes place
in all probability on Sept. 10 or 20 of this
year, certainly before the close of 1899.
What makes this statement SO extra
ordinary is the fact that the author de-
clares that his work is issued with the
sanction of the Catholic authorities. He
disclaims any attempt to inculcate any
except orthodox doctrine.
The title of the book is curious, and re-
minds one of the first pages of some
EliZabethan romance Here is part of II:
The grand coup, or universal cataclysm
will ravage the world between the 18TH
and 21st of September, 1895, as foretold
in scriptures. The prophecies of the Old
and New Testament compare with those
of the Father and with the secrets of La
Salette, in which are foretold the great
war which will destroy nine-tenths of the
human race, the coming OF antichrist, and
his reign, after which the church viii
triumph over her enemies and the reign
of Christ begin on earth"
The book is divided into two parts. In
the first the author foretells the events
which are about to occur including the
devastation of the world by wars, earth
Quakes and plaques, the birth of anti
christ, whose mother, he says, is already
here and a terrible catacysm, the nature
of which is vague, which will leave few
human beings alive. All this, he declares
he has found, on unimpeachable authority,
to be due to occur at the time he states
The second part contains his reasons for
selecting the time he specifies. 1t consists
of number of elaborate calculations of
the kind which readers of similar pro-
phecies are familiar Some of the coinci-
dences he mentions are curious, but peo-
pie will probably not alarm themselves
to any great extent by his warnings
The chief interest of the book lies in the
with US, and regularly has predicted the
end of all things for nearly every year 70.
the last 500. Rev" Mr.. Baxter created
quite a sensation in England a few years
ago by assuring his hearers that they
might expect the end of the world in 1887
That year went by and nothing particular
happened, and the prophet then shifted
his date year or two forward. He is
probably at the same game, and finds a
fresh stock of believers every year, who
are foolish enough to credit him and, in
cidentally, support him and his family
But the French abbe's book is of a diff
ferent character. Rome has discouraged
any visions of this kind in her priests
knowing that whatever temporary effect
they may have is soon destroyed when
the futility of the prophecy is discovered
| The able is doubtless claiming more an
! thority than he has.

THE HANSON GRANT.
Mr.. Buchanan Gives His Clients Side
of the Case.

From the Jacksonville CFla) Citizen.
II. II. Buckman called the attention of
a Citizen reporter yesterday to a matter
that has gained wide currency through the
southern press within the past few days,
relating to the title of a large tract of
land that is in dispute in the northern
part Of Dade county. He made the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the mat
ter:
The Hanson grant is a large and valu-
able tract of land of 1000 acres, situated
at the confluence of the St. Lucie with the
Indian rivers, and IL was originally grant
ed to Samuel Miles by the Spanish gov
eminent. Lately this land was patented
by the United States to the original gran
tees, their heirs and assigns under a GER
tain survey made in the year 1889. My
clients, who claim to be the sole owners
OF the grant, applied to the United States
court to have this survey set aside, for
the reason that a former survey of the
grant had been confirmed. The court,
however, denied the application and on APP
peal to the supreme court of the United
States it was dismissed in January last.
because certihcation to the question of ju-
risdiction had not been properly made.
This decision, it appears has been given
considerable spreading through the press
OF the state upon the claim that 1t set
tied the question of title to the grant
between the claim of one Rufus X. Sew
all and my clients, but this is not So

to any portion of the grant whatsoever
the whole claim cannot exceed an undi-
vided one-third portion. On the other
hand, my clients claim title to the whole
grant, exclusive of small claims, and this
question OF title they are soon to test by
suit brought for that purpose.
Il am glad, therefore, on behalf of my
clients to disabuse the public mind as 10
the result of the suit mentioned, and 10
again emphatically say that the dismiss
sal of the appeal did not settle anything

The number of specialized midgets to be
seen around everywhere nowadays is
something startling. 1t is hard to believe
that there were probably as many of the
preceding generation in need of the same
help for defective vision, who never got
it. Many family physicians now make it
a part of their regular duty to know that
the children in their charge have normal
sight, or the chance CT getting it, There

years old she went to an oculist for treat
ment OF a slight injury to one of her eyes.
and then learned incidentally that she had
never had normal sight and that the
constant strain to which the weak nerves
had always been subjected was the one
certain cause of the agonizing headaches
that she had suffered every little while
from her earliest childhood. That she had
always been delicate and ailing was the
result OF the headaches, naturally. A few
