There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening, others that absorb
light and give boxed-up appearance to
a room, others that make room with a
bleak northern exposure, or with no ex-
posure at all, appear bright and cheer
full; some that make a room appear
warm, some that make it cold
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color;
therefore, room fitted up in yellow
will appear smaller than it is.
On the other hand, blue of certain
shade introduced generously into a
room will give an idea OF space. Red
makes no difference in regard to size.
Green makes very little.
If bright, sunny room gets its light
from a space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow-painted houses, or
else looks out upon a stretch of green
grass, it should be decorated in color
very different from the shade chosen if
the light comes from only an unbroken
expanse of sky.
Red brings out in room whatever

of the other colors employed.
Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and make it seem cheerful
If olive or red brown be used in con.

Traded Bonds.

OF the $e,110.0oo of Tennessee bonds
which the state of Minneapolis has had
in its possession for ten years, there
now remains but 81 ZOO, 900. The rest
have been happily disposed of, and in
their places the state has cash and
Massachusetts, 81 per cent gold bonds
running for long term of year.
The Tennessee bonds Just disposed
of cost the state in 1886, IS cents on the
dollar. There was time in 1895 that
they could have been sold at as high as
80 cents, but the state was then in no
hurry to dispose of them. Since then
it has developed that Tennessee bonds
are more or less subjected to manipu-
lation in the market, and this was one
of the things that led the finance COM
mittee of the last legislature to recon-
mend that they be disposed of. The
state cleared 1924, 800 in profits by this
sale, that being the difference between
the purchase price and the selling
price of the bonds. They have netted
the state per cent interest each year
and the interest has been paid prompt

Apple Bread.

Boil a dozen good sized apples that
have been caefully peeled and cored,
until they are perfectly tender. While
still warm, mash them in double the
amount of flour and add the proper
proportion of yeast. The mass should
then be thoroughly kneaded without
water, as the juice of the apples will
make it sufficiently soft. It should bet
left to rise for IL hours, then formed.
into loaves, and baked when quite light.
Apple bread was the invention of a

tended for so many years, was repu-
dated by several well-known leaders

sition taken by DR.. o. P. Clifford, of
Buffalo, and DR.. r. a. Conwell, of Phil

vines in the denomination. indicate a
decided change of sentiment among
nBaptists on the subject OF close com
munion.
Chicago, Nov. 1s.-The second days
session of the Baptist congress was de-
voted to a discussion of the question:
SHOULD UNCONVENTIONAL Beliefs I'm
pose Limitations Upon Teachers %
There was some differences of opinion
as to what constituted limits, and how
they should be observed by the teach
ers of the church. The papers showed
that liberal view of the matter had
been taken by the writer's, but all
seemed to agree that in teaching the
Baptist faith it was necessary to fol-
low the fundamental principles of faith,
and that unless limitations were i'm
posed this could not he done.

and after coming out he stopped
at the tank hydrdnJ for a drink or
water. While drinking his train be-
gan to pull out and he made a head
long dive across the track for his
cabOOSe. The switch engine was
backing down the track from the east
and Mitchell attempted 10 cross in
front OF 1t. The engine was not
eight feet from him when he at
tempted to cross the track. He was
struck by the foot board and fell with
his feet TO the south and his head
and shoulders inside Of the south rail
OF the track. The fOOtbOards on the
switch engine extends TO within four
inches of the rail, which prevented
him being ground under the engine
and crushed 10 death at once He was
rolled and dragged for a distance of
fully sixty feet, and finally thrown
from the track at the north end of
the freight depot platform.
The switch engine was in charge of
Engineer John Beard and Fireman
George Zenz. They did not see
Mitchell until his body was thrown
from the track. The engine was
stopped at once and the injured man
was picked up and placed upon a
cushion on the depot platform. DR..
W. NJ. Martin, Santa Fe railway sur
geOn, was summoned at once and
found that the right leg had been
broken below the thigh. A terrible
scalp wound fully four inches 10
length extended forward in semi
circle just above the right ear, leaving
portion of the skull as large as the
hand exposed to view. He was also
injured in the right groin. Opates
were administered and the injured
mans wounds were dressed, when he
was removed to the Davis house on
South Washington avenue. He awOke
from the effects Of the drugs shortly
before noon and while chlOroform was
being administered to him to ease the
pain he died in commissions.
Mitchell suffered terrible agony
that morning while awaiting the ar
rival of physicians. He was not rem
dered unconscious by his injuries, but
was mOmentarily paralyzed. When
he regained his sense of feeling he
begged piteOusly for somebody to help
him. The crowd that gathered
around him was unable to do any
thing to ease his sufferings, and they
stood with blanched faces silently
watching his agOnizing efforts to rise
from the blood-stained cushion. His
suffering increased until his cries and
appeals made StOut-hearted men sick.

miniStering opiates he passed away
