PIAZZA POINTS.

First, have a piazza On II place
good substantial table large enough 10
hold a pile of magazines and papers; anu
don't let IL be such q fine table that you
get nervous every time it threatens n
shower. For one thing, it will take viO-
lent gust OF rain to beat under a piazza as
far back as the wall where your table
stands, and If IL is a good, reliable one
of the sort that most every family owns
a soaking once in while won't hurt it.
Then you want hammock. TWO would
ne that much better, and you want them
SO hooked tina. they will escape the ground,
but be near enough TO it in case the occu-
pant. like Humpty Dumpty, has fall.
Hair pillows sheathed in adjustable chintZ
are cooler than feathers and denim and
three times as cheap. An uninfringible
law of the pi azZa is to have on IL special
chair for every member of the household,
Iocker or not, as preferred, and chair or
two over for guests. IL there are steps
and piazza doesn't half live up to its
possibilities without at least three there
ought to be grass cushion s in plenty around.
When not in use they look ornamental
piled up like pancakes beside the door.

We note with some pain that the pleasant
and profitable conference between the
business manager" and the Aut0crat is
likely to he hampered somewhat by Demo-
clamorlng for the things accorded to them
in the Senate deal, but which Mr.. Reed
does not think they ought 10 have. This
is very had. and is calculated to dampen
the JOY with which everybody, on the in
side of the conference circle, must have
hailed the splendid loom in sugar shares
in New York yesterday. 1t was an earnest
that, whatever else may happen, the Sugar
Trust is amply to lie protected" IL was
a fine dsy for the stock ticker, and its re-
suits viii make a number of beneficiaries
all the more anxious to get away from
the heat Of the Capital, and ON board their
steam yachts or tostsrt for Alaska Norway,
Switzerland. the AdiIondacks or " herever
they are going. for a royal old time, after
The labois and Accommodations OF the ses-
sion. We are not looking for any fight.
IL is too late for that. The bargain counter
is siIl open for customers, and its astute
business manager may he found On hand
whenever il is necessary to tade for
Western vote, or ''placate" Democratic
one. His assets are ample, and his generos-
ity is unbounded under appropris tie circum-
stances and conditions. Votes may go
away up in the figures before the final
one, to Iatify the conference report, is
cast Bot he is not sflaid. He is like that
noilc cha racter in song and story, Of W hom
il is written that
INC cast a cunning eye around,
While bags of chink he chunk;
And many a wicked smile he sIIl02e,
And many a wink he wunk.'
