INTEREST ON STATE MONEY.

From Governor Hastings Message.
The banking institutions who receive
deposits from the states treasury, both
of the sinking fund and of the current
receipts, instead of receiving a salary
therefor, should be required to pay the
customary rates of interest on such de-
posits the same as If received from in
dividuals or other banking Institutions.
There appears no sufficient reason why
such interest should not be eXacted by
law from the banking institutions seek
ing the advantage of such deposits.

In the current issue of Young Wales"
there appears a graphic sketch, with por-
trait of Mr.. w. Edwards Tirebuck. This
is how his outward man is depicted. The
Creator of Sweetheart Gwen" stands
about middle height. OF his remarkably
sympathetic mind one gets an idex in his
truly Celtic face. lofty, well-rounded
forehead, surmounted by a mass of wavy
dark hair, the features deiCately mobile,
yet singularly, regular and finished, the
lips eloquently in sensibility, the whole
countenanCe let up by deep, dreamy,
brown eyes, and accentuate by a clear,
resonant voice, which speaks volumes for
his Welsh blood-such is the man as
found him"

HONE DECORATIONS.

The very latest pattern for center
piece is in pine cones, the needles them
selves being worked in green and the
stems in brown.
Bread and butter dishes are still pop
ular from their great convenience.
Small spatula-shaped knives in solid
silver usually accompany them for
spreading the bread.
Plain burlap in very pretty colors.
not the ordinary coffee sacking but q
smoother and little finer weave, is
very much used for decorative purposes,
such as sofa cushions, couches and
hangings.
The ordinary black iroI egister has
been a bette noir for householders for
some time, but this problem has been
solved in a special-size screen, with
one or two folds, and just high enough
to reach the top. Plain ones Of denim
or burlap are especially popular.
The expense of fancy works will be
very much lessened if one would pin
the stamped article on a pillow covered
with transparent paper, take fine
needle and prick rows of fine holes
through the pattern lines; then you al
ways have the pattern to stamp your
own things.
II is the latest lamp shade that has
five points instead of the ordinary four
pointed square one. The frames for the
latest shades have the same general con-
tour as an open umbrella, the wires be-
ing curved upward from the piece of
fine wire around the chimney to the
outer edge.
Most of the pattie dishes, bon-bon
dishes, olive dishes; in fact, all small,
fancy dishes of this description, come
this year with sterling silver stands
under them with three small feet. This
combination of cut glass and silver or
fine china and silver is particularly eff
fective on the table.

FLOWERS FOR WEARING.
Proper Selection Is Part of the Fine Art
of Dressing.

PROPER selection Is Part OF the Fine ART
of Dressing.
People who are fond of wearing flow
ers for personal decoration might well
give the subject little thought before
proceeding to ornament themselves in
discriminatory with blossoms. To cut
all colors and varieties for this purpose
destroys ones individuality in way
that is very disappointing indeed.
AS rule, light delicate colors and
white should be assumed by blondes,
while to brunettes are relegated the
dark, rich shades and brilliant colors.
In addition to this, flowers having long,
flexible stems and pendulous, dropping
blossoms should be selected. Gerani-
um flowers are very pretty in the win
dow, or on beds outside, but bunch
of them pinned to the corsage does not
impress one as being very artistic.
The same may be said of all flowers
that bloom in close heads or masses
Of course, the first choice with most
women is roses, and, if these are cut
with a good long stem, their arrange
ment upon the dress Is q simple matter.
Roses, however, cannot be had at all
times, and it is well to know of few
other flowers that are, almost, if not
quite, their equal in the matter OF per-
sonal decoration.
The graceful pendulous blossoms of
the arbutilon, or Towering maple,
make lovely corsage bouquets. The
rich. bright reds and clear yellows,
that have lately been added to the list
Of varieties, are very handsome, and can
be effectively worn by blonde or bru-
nette.
Perhaps the next best choice are the
blossoms of the fuchsia- They are very
graceful in poise, but care should be
taken that they harmonic with the
costume worn, as most fuchsias show
two distinct colors in their flowers.
Last, but not least, may mention
the blossoms of the sweet pea-for how
many beautiful arrangements can be
made OF theml From boutonnieres, con-
sisting of but two or three flowers, two
delicate, softly shaded, self colors, AMI
one deep, rich flower of velvety dark
ness, an odd leaf or two of cool pale
green, and saucy curling tendril to
the corsage bouquets, in which the deli
cate flowers float, like bevy of bright
butterflies, the leaves and tendrils and
long-stemmed blossoms dropping and
nesting along the curve to the waist

CHARACTER IN WALKING.

Quick steps are indicative of energ.
and agitation.
Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise
curiosity. discretion or mystery.
Turn-in toes are often found with pre-
occupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING, and noiseless, with short,
nervous, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short
suggest q gentle or reflective state Of
mind, as the case may be.
Where revengeful purpose is hidden
under feigned smile the step will be
Blinking and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and measured,
the toes are conspicuously turned out,
the legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
o. the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty, hesitation and indecison.
Obstinate people, who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on intel
lectual power, rest the feet fatty and
armly on the ground, walk heavily and
slowly, and stand with legs firmly
planted and far apart.-Home Queen.

It is said that the turn of life is the
most important period in a woman's
existence, and owing to modern meth
DDS of living not more than one woman
out of thousand approaches this per-
fectly natural change without expert
encing train of very annoying and
sometimes painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the head until it
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, as if the heart
were going to stop, are symptoms OF a
dangerous nervous trouble.
The hos flashes are just so many calls
from nature for help. At this time
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound will be of great value, as the
following letter from Mrs. Kriner in
dicates. The Vegetable Compound is
a tonic especially prepared to act upon
the female generative organs. 1t in
vigorates and strengthens those organs
in such a manner as to build up the
weakened nervous system, and enables
a woman to pass that troublesome
period triumphantly.
