An artistic house goes beyond being
a pretty one, having in it the elements
of large comprehension, fullness of
refinement, combination of beauty

These plans represent n compact and

that house must be bare and simple
in every part, but simplicity must be
the keynote. Certain parts, both inside

treated. But it must seem natural and
not an isolated piece of work, and the
reason for such elaboration must be APP

Growth of Cities.

The fact that the big European cit
les have been growing much faster than
those of the United States is pointed
out by DIR. Albert Shaw in his recent
book on municipal government in Eu-
rope. In 1870 New York had 100000
more people than Berlin; in 1880 Ber-
lin had outstripped New York, and it
still maintains its lead. In 1875 Ham,
burg had 5000 people and Boston 342,-
600; in 1890 Hamburg had 569,260 and
Boston $4,000. Baltimore was once
as big as Hamburg, but it has long been
distanced. Leipzig has grown from
1877, 900 in 1875 to 100000 in 1890, and has
distanced San Francisco. Breslau used
TO be smaller than Cincinnati; it has
now distanced it. Cleveland and Buff
falo and Pittsburgh were all in 1880 big
ger than Cologne, but Cologne was
much the bigger in 1890. Dresden is
growing more quickly than New Or
leans. Hanover, though a sleepy place,
is growing as quickly as Louisville or
Jersey City.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

Violet Rnsaa

Cover one box of gelatin with half
cupful of cold water, and soak for half
an hour. Whip one quart of cream, turn
it in pan; place this in another of
cracked ice or very cold water. Add one
cupful of powdered sugar, ten drops of
extract of rose, a teaspoonful of vanilla,
and the grated rind of half an orange.
Add half a cupful of cream to the gela-
tin, stand it over hot water. Stir until
dissolved, strain it in the cream and
stir carefully until it begins to thicken.
Turn at once into a melon mold which
has been lined with candied violets.
The violets may be fastened in place
with little melted gelatin. Stand in
the cold for at least two hours. When
ready to serve turn out on white plat
ter that has been covered with maiden
hair fern or violet leaves. A few fresh
violets may be added as a garnish. This
pudding may be made suitable for a
green tea or luncheon by substituting
pistachio coloring for rose and busting
the mold with chopped pistachio nuts.

THE CZAR'S FRIGHT.
Caused by Precautions Taken for His
Personal Safety.

While Nicholas III. was travelling re-
Gently from st. Petersburg to one OF the
imperial residences called Cars viii
lage he observed in his salon carriage
an electric button which he had never
before noticed. "What is it for?" he
asked his aid-de-camp.
eff your majesty will be pleased to
press the button the train will come to
an instantaneous standstill. 1t is a dam
ger signal
II should like to see it work." said
Nicholas, musingly, and following his
inclination placed his index finger hard
upon the knob. The train stopped and
a dozen officials rushed into the car
riage with pale faces and trembling
hand and foot. A danger signal from
an imperial carriage salon excites no
end of ugly "reminiscences in Russia
or any other country, for that matter.
The car left his carriage and walked
out into the morning air. -..,
Lets proceed along the track for
half an hour or So" said his majesty to
the aid-de-camp. "The train can wait"
Arm in arm they marched, while the
much-craved- for feeling of safety took
hold of Nicholas head and heart. Sud
denly turning on his heel the emperor
proceeded sideways toward the field.
There was at distance of a few hun
bred feet PEASANTS hut which he de-
sired to inspect. Walking briskly
toward the hoyel, Nicholas overheard q
shout of "Halt!" uttered by somebody
lying in ambush. Halt! or l will
shoot!"
Nicholas stood still as if suddenly
stricken with palsy, while the aid placed
himself in front of his trembling mas
ter.
"It is only the guard drawn up along
the railway tracks as far as the inn
perial train travels" he said by way of
explain; ion. "Knowing your majesty
aversion to military display, the troops
were ordered to lie down on the ground
when the imperial train hove IN sight"
The czar easily regained his COM
posture. "These boys have turned out
to protect me-" he said. "They shall re-
member this day."
Then he called the officers before the
front and gave each one some trinket
as a keepsake, denuding his breast of
decorations and his pockets of jewelry,
cigar cutter, knife, card case and other
trinkets.-N. Y. journal.

THE SLANG GIRL.
No Woman of Refinement Ever Makes
Use of Slang. ..-


Use of Slang. -
There is no habit so easy to acquire or
so hard to break as the use of slang.
It vitiates our speech, and especially
marks woman as ordinary, though she
may be of eminently refined birth and
education TO converse well, even ele-
gantly, is only matter of cultivation.
Study the selection of your words, and
after awhile it will be second nature to
use only such as are essentially above
criticism. All cannot be fluent CONVEX
sationalists, but all can speak correct
ly, using only such language as ex-
presses what you wish to say, but not
in the slangy fashion that too many
young people think chic and convinc-
ing.
It may sound smart and cute in some
ears, to be fiuently familiar with all the
up-to-date slang phrases, but the best
people, the refined and cultivated men,
beers of society, will never be able to
discover any beauty in this knowledge.
To be slangy is deemed to be popular by
many, we know, but it is a deplcrable
idea, and it is pity to let the trend of
ones education flow in such a wrong
direction.
Many girls use slang as they puff
cigarettes, thinking to make an inn
preston upon men by their worldly
ways, the little "fast" touch in it's dam
gerous proximity TO the extreme edge
of the border line Of decorum possessing
that strange fascination that has be-
longed to forbidden fruit since the days
of Eve. The men whose good opinion is
worth having, however, do not cultivate
the society of slangy girls. It's Use may
be only habit, but slang will impress
the nearer with feeling that the ma
ture of the woman employing it is in
touch with its brusquerie and its I'M
conventional idioms. Purity of speech
may not necessarily imply elevation of
intellect or character, but the impress
sion it conveys is infinitely superior to
the one engendered by an intimate ac-
quantance with slang, no matter how
expressive it may be.-St. Louis Globe

TIE WISDOM OF YEARS.
After the Young Man Had Learned
TOef

Tact.
The young man had reached the age
when the whole sphinx-like feminine
sex seemed to him wonderful ana the
rustic of silk skirt near him made him
drop his hat, stub his toe or pull wildly
at his collar stud.
He also had habit of speaking first,
thinking next, and then suffering indie
scribable horrors in the way of mental
anguish at the thought that he had done
things in the wrong order.
He was introduced to a lady of that
order of beauty which is entirely too
ambitious and goes far ahead of ma
ture. For the beatty specialists Of
Twenty-third street rush in where the
Almighty fears, to tread. This lady in
her youth had never been so dazzling as
she was in her maturity.
"How do.you manage to retain your
marvellous beauty for so long?" asked
the naive young man, full of genuine adj
miration.
The eyes Of the beauty, which resem-
bled large calcium light, flashed coldly
upon him.: The local temperature went
down and the atmosphere became
frozen. He realized his mistake. In a
few ill-chosen words he had shown that
he had understood chat the hands OF
Times clock had been set back and the
fy-leaf torn out of the family Bible.
Aud he suffered bitterly for the enor-
nifty of his crime.
Years had passed. The young gentle
man had learned to regard the feminine
sex as no longer wonderful, but very
transparent, paltry and invented to be
fattered and laughed at. The rustic of q
silk spetticoat no longer ratified him,
but, on the contrary, caused him to
stroke his mustache, assume an easier
pose and show himself off to the best
advantage. ...
SAT parlor gathering, where intel
lects becomeimbecile from the effects OF
bad music and worse recitations, he was
cnce more introduced to the lady whose
beauty had been laid on with too ambi-
tious a hand. She looked ten years
younger than before, after the manner
of the show woman of the world. He
looked at her and marveled at the prob
able cost of so much facial radiance.
The game of fortune-telling was pro-
posed by some despairing soul, just re-
covering from the effect of a violin solo
played fiat. He took the carefully
groomed hand of the dazzling lady in his
own and bending his hypocritical frown
over the pink palm said:
"Your life line is very much broken.
BY the time you are 26 you will have
had the great love affair of your life"
An effulgent light EMBODIED him from
the lady's eyes. The rest of the even
ing passed in that warmth which man
can only experience in the artistic dis
charge of duty.
1t was the same lady he had met be.
fore, he knew it and she knew it.
Buthe hadlearhed tact.-N.Y. World.

RED IN ARCHITECTURE.
baltimore Engineer Says Ii Causes

baltimore Engineer Says IL Causes
Optic MaIfOrmntiOns.
William A. Goodrich, A. NJ, architect
and engineer at Baltimore, Md, has
given some very interesting opinions re-
garding the use of red as a color for
buildings. He says this color produces
many optic and astigmatic malforma-
tons" Also speaks of the soothing eff
feet upon the optic nerve OF change
from red brick street to yellow, buff,
or white facades. Further, that there
seems to be lateral convoluted con-
centric ray ever active when red brick
is III mass. The sensation is twisting
or rending of the nerves that focus the
sight rays, so that they cross and re-
cross each other in irregular curves and
angles and tangents." This produces
the deformities that engender myoptid
and astigmatic optics. In a city built
largely of red brick large per cent. of
the population, even little children, are
specialized. Nature uses this color very
sparingly. Red blossoms are seldom
fragrant. This color is not often seen
in any remedial agent in a college Of
pharmacy. Mr.. Goodrich greets glad
ly the architectural change wherein
mellow shades of white, yellow, buff,
drab and pearl are giving an appear
ancc of luxury and refinement to streets
that red could never assume. He cites
case where Partisan landlord paint
ed his store front glaring red. This
so detracted from the show windows
and refracted such giare on the goods
displayed across the way, causing them
to show in such uncanny colors, that it
hindered their sale. The courts award
ed heavy damages to the merchants and
the landlord was compelled to remove
the obnoxious red color.-Chicago In

This plan has four principal rooms
on the first floor, besides hall. pantry,

closet, etc. The four front rooms are
connected by wide sliding doors. The

jolly Tim Campbell, of New York,
one of the best congressman ever sent
here by Tammany, albeit Tim is little
short on education, always likes to tell
stories illustrating the superiority of
the Irishman, in every particular. His
noddle is full of stories concerning En-
met, Shamus O'Brien, Parnell and the
ether heroes of the race of peculiar peo-
pie who dwell on the Emerald Isle, when
they are not fighting the battles of Eng
land, or filling the ranks of the Ameri-
can police force. He told one to-day
concerning O'Connell, and it is a good
enc, too. d. .. .s
1t seems that the London Times once
declared that it would never allow the
great Irish agitator's name to appear in
it's columns. When O'Connell next arose
to speak in parliament the Times re-
porters threw down their pencils and,
leaning back in their chairs, assumed
the role of spectators. A friend of
O'Connell, feeling the slight, called the
speakers attention to the rule that
strangers" must be expelled from the
gallery, and as the Times men were not
at work they were instantly conducted
cut. The next day the Times had no re-
port of parliament and received hum
dreds of letters asking an eXplana-
ton. Soon after Bull Run" Russell
called on Mr.. O'Connell on behalf of the
Times, and, deprecating past ill-feeling,
said The Thunderer would like to re-
port his speech next day. Mr.. O'Connell
received Mr. Russell with much courtesy
and invited him to ride in his carriage to
the scene where the enthusiastic Irish
were to gather. A good chair and table
were prepared for Mr.. Russell, who was
dumfounded, however, when Mr..
O'Connell, with a satirical smile, began
his remarks in Celtic and continued to
use that eloquent but to Russell I'M

he says that there was long line OF
people in front of the ticket Office, and
the young man inside, whose name was
Sheehan. was handling tickets and
money like hot cakes, when up came a
perspiring young man who presented
''lithograph pass" for two. 1t was
duly punched by Mr.. Sheehan, who
handed it back along with two seat
cheeks. The perspiring young man
seized the checks, leaving his ''litho-
graph pass" on the ledge in front of the
window. He was evidently greatly
fustered and in hurry to get back to
his girlawho was impatiently awaiting
him. Mr.. Sheehan called him back and
directed his attention to the pass.
"You cannot get by the door without
that, my friend" he said, and the young
man blushed profusely and took the
cardboard with muttered apology.
This proceeding had evidently great
il amused a faxen-haired little man,
TO doubt native of Sweden, who had
been patiently waiting to buy two seats.
He laughed all over at the others con-
fusion, and then planked down two sill
yer dollars with the air of veteran
theater-goer.
"Ay gass Ay hat bout two SANITY

silver toward Mr.. Sheehan, and as the
young treasurer deity selected the
pasteboards and handed them out to
him, together with so cents in change,
be said:

And as Sheehan smiled and nodded
assent the jovia. little gentleman from
Sweden picked up his so cents and
passed on, leaving his two "saanty-fave
