THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL

Plain canvas d come soft color OF

is another fabric used for the same pur.
pose.
Textile fabrics are entirely unsuited
for any room but drawing room. mu.
sic-room, boudoir or picture-room; they
would be most unhealthful for bed
rooms, or dining-rooms, or living rooms,
as they would absorb every odor and be-
come ntolerable.
The effect of suitable fabrics on the
wall is delightful. For example. what
could be more restful and suggestive
than medium deep gray-green canvas

EARLY SCOTCH suPERsTlTloNs.

If child died unchristencd 1t wan.
dered in woods and solitary places,
lamenting It's melancholy fate, and was
often to be seen. Such children were
called "tarans."
1t was considered sure sign Of ILL
fortune to mention the name of an ''un.
christened wean," and even, at baptism
the name was usually written ON slir
of paper, which was handed to the Off.
ci0ting minister, that he might be the
first to pronounce 1t.
II the babe kept quiet during the
baptisimal ceremony, the gossips
mourned over 1t as destined to short
life, and perhaps not merry one,
Hence, to extort cry. the women who
received it from the father would ham
die It roughly or even pinch it.
Great care was taken that the bap-
tismal water should not enter the in
fant's eyes-not because such mis-.
hap might result in wailings loud and
long, but because the sufferers future
life, wherever he went and whatever he
did. would constantly be vexed by the
presence of wraiths and sDectex.

Arrangement of the HAIR.

To suit long. narrow face, the hair
should be dressed round, and it is al
ways best to show coil or so from
the side behind the ears; also endeavor
to fill up the nape of the neck as much
as possible.
For a sharp-featured face, always
avoid dressing the hair right at the
top of the back of the crown In line
" 18th the nose, as this so accentuates the
severe outlines. Dress the hair low
down or else quite on the crown-top to
meet the fringe.
For round face, narrow dressings
are becoming, and can be taken well
down the neck.
For broad face, narrow dressings
are preferable, but which should be
kept somewhat high.
Exceedingly tall people should keep
the hair dressed rather low and decid-
eddy round.
Very short ladies can have their hair
dressed high as itgives addition to their
stature.-Chicago Record.

THE OLD HOME.

Twas only a humble cottage,
Not far from the village street;
But the cool. green meadows inclosed II.
And flowers brought their fragrance
sweet.
The birds In the roofs old matches.
The winds In the tall elm tree.
The pathway that led to the woodlands.
Made the happiest home for me-
Then. no world beyond the meadows
Disturbed my beautiful dream;
My playmates were birds and flowers.
And we used to sing to the stream.
But now the green meadows have widened.
Far, far to the rolling sea,
And l sail away on its bosom
From the home Of my Infancy.
Oh. lands of crimson and purple!
Oh. white-jeweled cities afar!
Ye throb on the restless ocean.
Ye dazzle like orient star:
But, oh. for the home Of my childhood.
And my world of meadow and tree:
For the quiet calm of those old. old days
Has gone forever from me.

MORE MONEY" CRY.
1T COMES FROM FARMERS, WHO HAVE
A REAL MONETARY GRIEVANCE.

They May Be Mistaken rs to the Cause
and Remedy but Not as to the Exist
ence of Their Trouble-Why Interest Is
High In the West and South-Statistics
Upon tracing the movement for a
larger volume Of circulation back for a
score of years it will be found that it
has invariably manifested greatest
strength in the agricultural sections of
the country. Obviously, then, we must
seek for the underlying causes in these
Communities.
When the subject is analysed, it will
be observed that the ground for discon-
tent at existing conditions lies in the
fact that notwithstanding greatly i'm
proved means of production, notwith-
standing greater facilities and materi-
uly reduced rates for the transporta-
tion and distribution Of products, the
ag1icr|turist, upon whom so large a
part of our economic system is depend
ent, finds himself, generally speaking,
after a twelvemonth of hard work. no
farther ahead than at the beginning Of
the year, and in many instances his
status is worse. Through the failure to
make proportionate income he has not
been able to reduce, but has, in fact,
increased his money obligations.
1t is not maintained that such is the
case throughout the land, nor are all
agriculturists entitled to equal credit
for care and economy. Many cases there
are, doubtless where sympathy is not
deserved, but in most of the commune
ties where discomfort prevails the rea.
son here given is the true one, the dis
sertations of self satisfied theorists tt
the contrary Notwithstanding.
| Numerous examinations made by
painstaking investigators warrant tbs
statement that the unequal distribution
of capital and of money and the ccnse
quept gross inequality in interest rate'
are the chief cause Of the inability t.
carry on the important business of agri
culture profitably.
| Tho sections Ct the country polling
the largest silver vote in 1896 have
generally speaking, insufficient credi
facilities. The small farmer who, ad
vancing from the condition of farm la
borer, seeks a larger measure OF indie
pendence and greater comforts for hi
family, is not only compelled to mort
gage his realty, frequently at rates a
high as 10 per cent. but is under tn
necessity of borrowing upon his pro
spective crop. Having no banking offic
to call upon, he turns TO the storekeep
er, who extends credit for the neede'

Never before in medical annals has any
medicine received such widespread praise and
endorsement from physicians, druggists and
all classes of the people as is bestowed upon
the great curer of disease, DR.. Greene's Nerv-
ura blood and nerve remedy. 1t purifies and
invigorates the blood, making pure, rich, red
blood, and it is therefore the grandest of blood
medicines. 1t gives life, strength, energy,
power and vigor to the brain and nerves, and
hence is the greatest nerve tonic, brain invig
GRANT and nerve restorative ever before known
in the worlds history. 1t banishes headache,
backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, and has thus
demonstrated itself to be the surest and quick
est pain reiever in existence. 1t cures stomach,
liver, kidney and female complaints with a
positive certainty which Is unequaled and I'M
rivaled, and which has caused weak, nervous,
tired out, sleepless, run down and debilitated
sufferers everywhere to recognize DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy as indeed
