by being able TO send the men who made

Over-DecOFated Rooms.

Two rooms lately seen have i'm
pressed upon me most forcibly the ne
cessity of having seine plain surface
in every room IS Il rest for the eye,
and consequently the mind. One of
these rooms was lauded as a thing Of
beauty because it existed in the house
OF Il millionaire. and much money had
been expended upon it. The other
room was in the house of a seamstress,
who had expended her hard-earned
dollars in furnishing a little parlor
with which she was much delighted.
Both rooms were ugly and tiresome
because OF the figured surfaces that
covered floor. window and furniture,
and the hanging. The patterns We're
large and snowy i'll the Eastern rug,
the rich walls were covered with a
figured silk. and the chairs had velvet
roses growing in 4 satin background.
In a more satisfactory room done by
a woman decorator. l find the floor,
which has a plain hardwood border,
covered by a large rug with a plain
ceuter and ii figured border. A table
cover that is also plain with the eX-
ception of a scroll border is of a lus-
trous short mapped velvet. The walls
are covered with painted tapestries,
but the windows and doors that divide
them here and there have plain hang
ings. The ceiling of the room is c"Css-
ed by panels of wood ir Il dull and a
bright tinish.-NeW York Post

Every pound of noor butter blocks
the wheels of an active market, and
every pound sold at a low price dis
places to & more or less extent a
pound of well-made butter at a higher
price.
But this is not all; every pound of
poor butter sold that is used on the
table tends to decrease consumption,
and in this way lessons demand, while
really good butter helps to increase
the consumption and demand for the
better article.
The man that makes butter of infe-
rior quality labors for Il very low pro-
fit, or none at all, while the maker of
the better quality of product does no
more work, but is able to realize at
least a fair profit.
1t will be a long time before the
quantity of poor butter manufactured
will be lessened sufficiently to cause
any increase in prices, and there can
be a considerable increase in the guam
tity of really first-class butter made be-
fore there will be any great decrease in
price. In a majority of cases Il better
profit can be realized by Feeding the
milk to calves, pigs or poultry, than to
continue making it into a poor quality
of butter and sending it to an over
stocked market.

The profession of designing is one of
the few that is not o~vercrcwded. says
Mrs. Florence Z. Cory, of the New
Iory School of Industrial Art and
Technical Design for Women. MAN
rfacturcrs still send abroad for many
thousand designs yearly. which they
would prefer to get here if they could,
and which could just as well be made
mere. The work is pleasant. remuner-
alive, and it is comparatively easy to
learn how to do it.. Any woman of av-
crage intelligence can become a good
designer in two years, and when she
has done so she will not have the NOR
LITIGATION of seeing men better paid
tina herself for work that is not so
good as her own. In this work the
stand on an equal footing, and
II there Is any advantage, the women
nave it, for some of them have received
higher salaries than were ever paid TO
men. Most manufacturers prefer wo-
men designers" she adds: ''They do
the work better; they take more inter
est in 1t and are more origin al and un-
conventional than men. Moreover,
most of the articles of trade and com
merce for which designers are required
are made for women, and women know
best what women want"

An Island Disappearinr.

Little Hammock island, one of a
group of many lying off South Norwalk,
Conn, is gradually disappearing be-
meath the waters of Long Island sound,
and in a few years more, scientific men
agree, the famous island will, like it's
sister island, Big Hammock, be but a
memory. The Norwalk group has long
been a popular summer resort for veal
thy New Workers, and was a famous
picnic ground thirty years ago Big
Hammock, with it's shade trees, broad
acres and many romantic hooks, was
crowded from early summer until fall
with people who pitched their tents
there anc spent their time hunting, fish
ing and lounging about the shady
beach. Finally it began to fade away
and eventually disappeared altogether.
Where the island was the water is now
several feet deep at low tide, and forms
part of an immense oyster tract. Oys-
termen first noticed that Little L'Ham-
mock was growing smaller about five
years ago, and during last summer it
was plain that the land was surely set.

A buttOnhole watch is obviously a
very useful and ornamental fashion.
This unique timepiece can always be
Kept in sight and enables one to an
swer a question as to the time with the
minimum amount of trouble. Large
quantities of these miniature watches
are being imported from France for
the Christmas season. The ~buttonhole
watch fad originated in France. They
we're first worn by bicyclists IN the
sleeve or in one of the lower button
holes of the coat. They enabled the
cyclist to see the time without incon-
v%enience while riding at full speed.
In America they will be worn, how
ever, in the lapel of the coat. The or
binary form of buttonhole watch has a
face about cne-half inch in diameter,
or even less. 1t may readily be seen
that when these tiny faces are taste
fully decorated they will be highly or
namental to the lapel of most coats.
AT q distance they might readily be
mistaken for n badge of the Legion of
Honor or some similar device.
The works of the novel watches are
about the size of an ordinary ladies'
watch. The face, which is about ore
fourth the diameter of the works, is
connected with the mechanism by a
thin neck. The button-hole watches
may be bought for SO. although some
of the most elaborate designs cost ten
times that figure.-New York World.

I have not found any food which ma
terially increases the percentage of but
ter fat in the milk of a given cow.
The only way to reach this result is to
feed so as to secure more milk and
consequently a larger aggregate of but
ter fat Tests show that while it is
not practical to feed'fat into the milk,
the percentage of fat is increased as
the milk yield falls off. 1t pays to feed
a little bran or grain feed even in sum
mer, when cows are on good pasture.
They hold out longer and the milk
flow responds less readily to changes
of condition in pasture. In my own
personal experience this course has re-
suited in my cOwS making an average
of fifty pounds more than when the
practice was not followed. The cost
per head for the extra feed thus eX-
pended was So and the increase in but
ter sold was $13.50.-C. p. Goodrich.

Strange T%tnlidity in Horses

Young horses can be led up to a sack
lying on the ground and induced to
pass it by letting them smell it and
find out that it really is q sack, and
not the Protean thing, whatever it may
be, which illusion centuries up for
them.
Once the writer saw a very quick
and pretty instance Of experiment by
touch made by a frightened pony. 1t
was being driven as a leader in a pony
tandem, and stopped short in front OF
where the rails of a steam tramway
crossed the road the road. 1t first
smelled the near rail. and then quickly
gave it two taps with it's hoof. After
this is was satisfied and crossed the
line. On the other hand, a donkey al
ways tries to jump the shadows of tree
trunks on the road, though a similar
experience of touch would have
shown were as unreal as the tram rail
was unSubstantial.
Lastly, no horse which has once
knocked it's head against the top of a
stable doorway seems quite able to get
rid of the illusion that there sits up in
the top OF all doOrWayS an Invisible
something which will hit again next
time he goes through. Hence, the trOu-
blesome and sometimes incurable hab-
it of horses "jibbing" when taken out
of the stable.
This is an obvious instance of the
disadvantage at which most animals
stand in regard to means of physical
experiments. The horse, for instance,
needs feel only the Intel to find out
that it is fixed and does not move, and
is not alive and waiting to hit him.
But except his lips, which are sensi-
tive. he has no member with which he
can make the experiment. Except the
elephant and the monkey, most of the
'higher'' animals suffer from this lack
of the means of experiment. The won
der is, not that they suffer from illu-
sions. but that they make so few mis-
takes.-London Spectator.

tune to be bitten by Il snake while out

large snake jumped out and plunged
it's fangs into Mr.. Dudley's left arm

very promptly, but fell in the grass
and made it's escape. Mr.. Dudley
could not tell what kind of Il snake it

to Scale as quickly as possible. When
he hove in sight it was perceptible that
something was wrong with his arm,
and was suspected that he had been
bitten by a snake, so when he drove
up the whisky was waiting for him.
He drank copiously, but at first it
seemed that the whisky would not be
equal to the occasion, as no signs of

RED UNIFORMS.
british Investigators Claim That
They Are Not Specially Danger

british investigators Claim That
They Are Not Specially Danger
Gus:
The scarlet unifom Of the British in
fantry has been greatly criticised in
recent years, chiefly on the ground that
it exposes the men to needless LANCER
by disclosing their whereabouts to the
enemy. The objection taken to the
scarlet, however, is groundless, and
scientific reasons are given why the
prevailing color is for all purposes the
most suitable that could be selected.
In the first place, scarlet affords the
best attainable protection against the
extremes of heat and cold to which
soldiers are liable to be exposed. The
darker the color protecting d warm
body the more rapidly radiation pro-
ceeds. White would be the best color
to reduce radiation to a minimum; hut
white is barred by other considera-
tons, as are also all the grays. Scar
let or red midway between
white and black or other dark colors.
while with reference to protection from
the sun scarlet takes a far higher place
than any of the blues, green's or drabs
and other shades often used for mill
tary clothing.
Yellow or orange is excluded because
these colOrs are particularly c~onspicu-
GUS at a long distance. Although scar
let or red is more conspicuous than
gray, when the u shines directly on
the troops it blurs on the sight, and is
consequently more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result
of a fight is usually decided at a dis
lance just outside the effective range
of the weapons. This distance lies be-
tween 600 and 800 yards. Nearer than
that it is impossible to close without
replying to the enemy's fire, and as
soon as the leturn fire whistles about
the defenders heads the possibility of
aiming rapidly and accurately de-
creaseS.
Therefore, from this point of view, it
is unimportant whether the object to
be hit is conspicuous or not, but from
q moral point of view it Is a serious
consideration. Within 700 yards each
subsequent advance is conditioned by
fire-superiority already achieved; the
defenders are shaken; the time for
counting heads is past, and the mental
impression conveyed by the sight of
the assaulting troops becomes the main
point.
1t is a distinct advantage that Jul
men should bulk large in the decisive
stages of an encounter land there is no
color which enables them to do this so
effectively as scarlet. On the whole,
therefore, every scientific considera-
ton justifies the retention of scarlet as
the best uniform for our troops.-Pear
sons Weekly.

AWo mtlltOnPtrGs
fhfongh q Natives Theft.
The filing of the will of August Kull-
man by Surrogate George s. Yves. in
Camden yesterday brought 10 light 4
very pathetic story, says the Philadel-
phia press.
August kaufman was the promising
son of a methodist episcopal minister.
stationed at Sea Isle City. Miss AIDE
line c. Woatherby was the daughter of
the Rev. Samuel G. Weatherby, a
methodist episcopal minister, who was
stationed at Haddonfield. The young
people became acquainted in attending
religious gatherings and an attachment
was formed which terminated In a mar
riage, which was attended by many
prominent persons from all parts Of the
state. A saort time before the mar
riage took place there we're urgent calls
for missionaries in India, and the two
decided after marriage to devote their
lives to missionary labors.
After the ceremony they started for
their field of labor at Asauool, Bengal,
India. They reached their post of duty
In February, 1895, one month after their
marriage, and entered upon their du-
ties. They had beer laboring but O
short time when the natives began to
die OF cholera. The young missionaries
were advised to save their lives by 60
Ing to other parts, but they decided to
stay and minister to the sufferers.
In order to avoid the disease they de-
cided to drink no water, as it was de-
clared to be polluted and the cause of
the spread of the contagion. They pur-
chased a COW and drank the milk, and
were free from the dreaded disease.
From the meager Information at
hand it appears that on July rs one of
the natives, during the absence of the
missionary and his wife, drank a guam
tity of the milk and, in order to con-
ceal his crime, he procured some of the
contaminated water from a stream,
which was placed in a receptacle with
the milk.
When the missionaries returned from
their mission OF love and labor with the
natives they were very thirsty and
drank considerable of the watered milk.
They ate a light supper and attended
a prayer meeting. During the service
Mr.. Kullman was taken ill and was as
sisted home. On the way Mrs. Kull-
man was attacked. All night long the
husband and wife, attended by other
missionaries, fought with the dreaded
plague, being unable to account for the
attack, as they had escaped so many
months. In a strange counA'y, hun
dreds of miles from home, they tossed
on their couches, offering each other
all the encouragement possible under
the circumstances. At 4 o'clock on the
morning of July 26 Mrs. Kullman be-
came unconscious and died. Four
hours afterward Mr.. Kullman died.
