THE MODEL BATHROOM.

Above all, the bathroom must be well
lighted and we'll ventilated; its size de-
pends, of course, on the general plan
OF the house, but 1t is always safe to
make it as large as possible. 1t should
have q large window, which opens
easily, and out into the open air in
stead of on a court, If possible. II there
y any probability of neighbors getting
peeps into the bathroom, it is well to
have the lower pane of ground glass.
The bathroom should be on the bed
room floor, but not too near the sleep
ing rooms; it is best to locate it down a
short side passage. Have a ventilator
puc in. for use in cold weather when the
rpain window cannot be opened. I'm
;ess the house is heated with steam or
a furnace, there should be a fireplace.
which is excellent for carrying OF the
hot air and steam. In addition to the
bath tub there should be a porcelain
basin, with taps for both hot asd cold
water.
The walls should be of tiles or a sani'
tary paper, which can be washed down
once a week. Blue and white tiles are
perhaps the prettiest, although delight
full effects are obtained by the use OF
pink, yellow or red in combination
with white. The tub should be of por-
celain, as it keeps clean easier than any
other material and nothing is more
satisfactory than the pure white. The
plumbing should in all cases be ex-
posed. In addition, there should be >
| foot tub in this room.

cans OF the senate finance committee were

vote today and tomorrow, the senate
having adjourned until Monday. but they
will not finish their preliminary survey

The experts employed by them are now
going over the bill, and the estimates
OF the revenue to be derived under Its
operation made by the members of the
ways and means committee, with view
TO preparing estimates on which the
Republicans OF the finance committee
can work.
There is the usual difference OF opin-
ion between the experts in the two
houses as to the probable amount OF
revenue to be derived from the proposed
schedules, those OF the senate. as a
rule. considering the estimates of the
house too high and using this as an argu-
nent for reduction in the rates.
"a While there is no doubt that the gen
srai purpose of the Republican tariff
managers in the senate is to lower
rather than increase the rates In the
Dingley bill. II is already evident that
they will have difficulty In carrying II

PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

An unnamed Missourian, described a.
"for many years trusted official Of the
United States senate, +" Ia quoted by the ST.

President Cleveland, after making all
preparations for attending the funeral o(
Vice Presidept Hendricks, suddenly decid-
ed not to do 30, but to remain In Washing
ton instead. II this authority Is 20 be
trusted, the change OF plan was the effect
of sudden discovery by Senator Edmunds
that, as the law Of presidential succession
then stood, II any accident should happen
to Mr.. Cleveland, no one could succeed to
the powers Of his Office until congress could
assemble In regular session the following
December. This was due TO the fact that
Mr.. Hendricks had for political reasons
prevented the senate from electing presi
dent pro tempOre. Ho had been able to do
this by declining to vacate the chair and
to recognize that privilege, lest the senate,
which was Republican by narrow ma
jority, should elect a president pro tempore
belonging to that party.
Mr.. Hendrick death took place between
tho dissolution of one congress and the
meeting Of tho next. So there was no
speaker upon whom the succession could
fall. Senator Edmunds, tho Missouri man
says, was Of the opinion that II, In the ex-
listing circumstances, Mr. Cleveland should
be incapacitated, there was no one with
power even TO call special session of con-
gress, and there would. be an interregnum
Of dangerous length. He submitted this
view Of the case to the president, who, II
Is asserted. recognized the gravity of the
situation, and at once determined to mini
mize the danger BY remaining quietly at
home. As u known, the law relating to
the presidential succession was changed TO
its present shape BY the congress that met

not regard the assistant secretaryship
