Notes on Furnishing.

Striped papers all of one color are
much used for drawing-rooms. They
resemble coverings of silk, where two
effects of light are gained by differ
ence in the weave.
In houses where they are in keeping
with other things, cotton velvets make
beautiful, rich-looIing hangings. They
are soft, look heavy, and are cleaned as
easily as cretonne.
Some of the white cotton velvets are
said to wash as easily and perfectly as
unbleached cloth. When dry they are
shaken and brushed to raise the nap.
Even the iron bedsteads have turned
green. When combined with brass
knobs and rails they look well in rooms
of white and green, but not as well
as those of white and gold or all Of
brass.
a pretty bedroom furnished in green
has the wicker chairs of light olive,
the bedstead brass and green, and q
green dressing-table with brass TRIM
mings. The wall paper is chintz pat
tern, showing green leaves and large
pink roses on a white ground.-Chicago
Record.

have a hand at it. Instead of cotton
they use the fluffy head of the marsh
flag, commonly known as the cat-tail,
which, as you know, falls apart when
dry in cottony mass. This makes
just as good fire-ball as cotton. Where
cat-tails cannot be obtained sometimes
cotton batting is used.
Right in this connection many boys
would doubtless be glad to know that
dried cat-tails make excellent torches.
The stalks should be cut as long as
possible and the heads of the cat-tails
well saturated with kerosene oil. When
lighted they will burn for long time
with flare that will Guido most ready
made torches. No doubt there are COM
panies of boys who would like to march
in the political parades of the present
campaign. If they do they will find
cat-tail torches a very great attraction
and they can be supplied at little or no
expense.-Chicago Record.

NapoIeOn's Check.

Fully half of the grown-up people
of France believe the old story that Ma
poleon Bonaparte put a check for 1oO,-
900 francs in silver five-franc piece
and that the coin is yet in circulation.
They say that the people did not want
the five-franc piece, and that in order
to create a demand for it Napoleon
resorted to the device mentioned. The
check, or treasury order, it is said, was
written upon asbestos paper and in
closed in the metal at the time the coin
was made. Thousands of five-franc
pieces are annually broken open and
have been so inspected since the story
of the check was first circulated

A NOVEL WELL BUCKET,
The Stranger Who Called for a Drink Was
Mystified.

Mystified.
A traveller who was iourneying
through Flcri2a, not far in the interior,
stopped one day for drink Of water
at house by the wayside.
'Cert'ny, stranger" said the sun
burned, barefooted woman, who had
met him at the door. Then she stuck
her head through the crack and begun
to call: "Sal! Here you, Sal! Take n
gourd an go git the stranger a fresh
drink"
He watched and saw tow-headed girl
disappear down a path which led
through truck patch, until she stopped
upon a small board platform. He saw
her let a rope rapidly down, but there
appeared to be no bucket attached, and
lie heard no knocking against the sides
of the well, such as bucket usually
makes in it's descent. When 1t was
drawn UP again, the girl had changed
her position 50 that he could not see
what was on the end of the rope, but
he did not hear her set bucket down,
and, after she had left, saw only what
looked like bunch of weeds dangling
from the rope. But she brought the
water, and it appeared all right.
'How did you. manage to get it," he
asked, without bucket?"
"We've got n bucket" said she. dad
hrung us new one yesterday. Ho
flshed it up quite awhile ago, but it had
to be cleaned up"
Anxious to see the bucket that had
been "fished up" and cleaned" the
traveller made some excuse to step to
the well, and what he saw was large
sponge which, when it was let down,
would absorb as much water as one
person could draw up and hold a good
share of it until it was drawn to the top
and emptied by squeezing.-Detroit

Costumes.
Exceedingly smart are the short fur
Jackets for wear when winter sets in.
The fronts are loose. the back tight
fitting. with just little fullness in the
skirts, sleeves medium size. and turned
back revers faced with the fur, and 50
arranged that the collar ct the back
can be pulled up as high as the ears II
necessary. OF course short fancy jack
cts In the Elton and bolero style are to
be seen in tar, but these are more like
the trimming of the street gowns. They
are extremely becoming. for they have
broad pointed revers which turn back
to show full vests and fronts of white
satin covered with lace ruffies and ja-
bots.
Revers Of fur are much used in trim
ming handsome gowns, and plated
piece of fur sewed into the shoulder
seam and hanging over the front OF The
waist is one of the newest fancies. Chin
chilla on dark blue or green, beaver,
otter, and sable on all colors. are in
style; and the pieces of fur certainly
give a touch Of smartness and oddity
that is very desirable. The band of fur
around the hem of the gown is again
in favor even on evening gowns, while
on the latter 1t is also used to outline
the seams on either side Of the EN-
broidered front breadth; and around
the shoulders or across the front Of
the waist of low cut gowns it is con-
sidered most effective. For this pur-
pose sable, mink, beaver are used in
preference to other furs. When these
fur bands are put on IL Is best to have
them an inch and half or two inches
wide, and then double them so that a
round edge shows, and they look par
ticularly well put just under fold of
cloth or passementerie.
Mouffion, the fur that came into favor
last season, is to be greatly in fashion
this year. 1t is of such an exquisite
shade of gray that it is more becoming
than chinchilla, although the latter is
much handsomcr. Capes, collars and
boas, with muffs to match, are made Of
this fur, but it is 'not yet used as n trim
ming. With gray cloth costume with
touches of yellow, and muff and cape
Of Mouffion lined with yellow, most
artistic effect can be obtained, while
with the new greens, reds and puppies
of this seasons colors it is extremely
smart.
just an edge of fur showing around
the cloth coats, making them look as
though lined throughout, is again fash
ionable, and some of the new evening
wraps, which are most regal in con-
struction, have the edging of one kind
of fur and the lining Of another.-Har-

The Fashion Has Developed In San Fran
cisco rs an Offset to Gloom.
They are distinctly progressive on the
Pacific coast. 1t has long been sus-
pected, but now there is no doubt of it,
for there has been decided advance in
funeral customs.
For some time past there has been a
desire to make these ceremonies less
dismal than formerly. Flowers and
brightness have been demanded in
stead of darkness and q general effect
of despair. The feeling seems to grow
out OF the teachings of some of the new
ethical societies, which hold that the
dead are only going to better and hap
pier life, and there is no need for friends
to feel sad about an event that must
bring joy TO the departed.
An undertaken by the name of Metz
Ter was the first to perceive the growing
popular tendency. He lay awake nights
devising means to meet the new de.
mand, which did not seem to be sat
isfied with merely a tightening of the
hitherto sorrowful services and the use
Of brighter colored flowers. AS re.
suit of his much thinking he devised
coffin. covered, not with gloomy black,
but with u handsome blue and gray
cloth, the colors lying longitudinally in
wide stripes.
This, he concluded, would about ex-
press the popular notion, being neat
and elegant and not too gaudy, for
while the whole effect was light and
airy, the colors chosen were still en-
blematic of the more sombre shades Of
human feeling.
Still, IL was with some perturbation
that the undertaken placed the novelty
in his shop window. He was surprised
and gratifed to have customer for it
the same day. The customer was fasci-
mated. He would have nothing else that
the undertaken, or, indeed, the city, had
TO offer. Il was not so sad looking, he
remarked, as those black collins.
At the funeral the undertaken noted
the effect with anxious eye. The blue
and gray coffin made a sensation, to be
sure, but it looked well among the flow,
ers carefully selected to harmonize),
and the undertaken heard no word or
saw no look save of admiration.
He Immediately made another, which
likewise sold the day it was put in the
window. Then orders began to come
in, and other undertalers began to
copy. Metzler was at last emboldened
TO make one in sky blue and white,
and it was sold within an hour.-San

The New Photography.

The "X" or Roentgen ray continues
to furnish evidence that it has come to
stay as a new and valuable servant
to the surgeon and the pathologist.
BY its help, the other day, n long-sought
distinction was made between ricketts,,
disease of the bones occurring gen.
orally in underfed babies, and late

plant which attacks children, chiefly

strated that the ''late ricketts, shows

fantile ailment, the bones being at

TRAINED CHAMELEONS.
What Girl Accomplished with Two OF
These Reptiles.


These Reptiles.
Much has been written about the
beauty, the stupidity and the vicious
ness of the lizard tribe, and want to
say word about the intelligence Of
the chameleon, little reptile belong
ing to the great lizard family, and in
size the antipodes of the alligator,
it's big brother.
The incident / now relate came un-
der my personal observation and dem
onstrates that the chameleon is sus-
ceptible to education and can be
ranked with animals classed much
higher in the scale of intellectual de-
velopment.
Miss Henrietta Keene, little lady of
12 years, living in Philadelphia, was
presented with two Florida chameleons,
and she at once began instructing and
educating her pets. BY continued gen.
tleness and kindness she won their con-
fidence, and at her call they would raise
their heads, listen, and then come run
ming quickly. Soon they responded to
their names-Brinton and Baby-and
nodded their little heads knowingly.
She then taught them to stand UP
on their hind legs and put their little
forepaws together and stand in the at

closing their eyes; at signal they
would quickly PROSTATE themselves,
roll over on their backs and pretend to
be dead, lying without motion, until
told to rise and embrace, which they
would do with every sign of JOY and
pl, ssure. -Washington Star.
