THE HOUSE IN WINTER.


/
Corners.
The hour is at hand when every
housekeeper is echoing George Eliot's
plant: IF only my curtains were up
and my carpets were down." And wise
| is the woman who makes of the old
fashioned housecleaning a new-fash-
| ioned comfort.
The chief discomfort is the problem
of proper heating, and here many an
otherwise successful matron signally
fails. There is truth in the old proverb
that sit takes a fool TO make a fire"
only the wise man who originated it
should have added but il needs a
philosopher TO regulate one" When
the first cold snap comes the average
housewife (whose foresight has made
her see to it that the furnace is in usable
condition) starts her fires, and every
body is comfortable; but in "a hours a
warm wave comes along and her family
gasp indoors like newly landed fish
Here, then, is the chance for a sea-
sonable hint to these thrifty managers:
When the first fire is lighted it is the
feminine Solomon who hies herself
TO the hardware store or counter and
there buys as many thermometers as
there are rooms in her house.
With one of these hanging in proper
places, and with few moments time
spent in looking at them, the tenn
perature of any house In Christendom
can be kept at 20 degrees, the proper
height for health and comfort. For
eigners are aghast at our American
houses, with their over-heated rooms,
and to breathe air indoors that is of
temperature higher than 10 degrees is
to tempt Providence and to hold out
open arms to the grip and all its in
Vulnerable constituents. Have the fur
naces started, then, but keep them
under control, and the first step indoors
Is well taken Another thing that |
soothes the chill discomfort of winter Is |
a CHEEKY, cozy corner in as many places |
as the house will harbor, and now is the |
time to arrange them. Plenty of cush-
Ions, soft draperies and comfortable |
chairs VIII make up for whole ''sea of /
troubles" and here the same modern |
Solomon shows her wisdom. Every
housekeeper must buy something when
she takes off the summer draperies and
prepares for winter, and nowadays a
little ingenuity will do wonders. For
instance, the wicker chairs that were
on the porches all summer will do
beautifully for winter use If they are
made soft and warm and luxurious by
additions of a couple of cushions for
back and seat, and even a steamer chair
Is an ideal reading nook when covered

EXECUTION OF LOUIS XVI.
The Unhappy King Went to His Dea n,
HrayeIy.


1t was dark, misty, January morn
ing. The presence of two soldiers pre-
cluded the possibility of conversation;
the priest therefore handed his breviary
to the king, and pointed out appropri-
ate psalms, which the king read de-
voutly and with perfect calmness, to
the evident astonishment of the gen.
darmes. The shops were shut along the
way, and crowds of armed citizens
stood oH the pavement as the coach,
preceded and followed by cavalry and
artillery, went slowly through the
streets, where all the windows were
closed. Lines of troops stood on each
side, while drums beat solemnly, as if
for military funeral.
As the coach passed along the boule-
wards near the Porte st. Denis, few
young men rushed forward waving
swords and crying loudly: Come all
who would save the king!" There was
no response, and they were obliged to
flee for their own lives. They were pur-
sued, and several were arrested, with
fatal consequences. The king, ab-
sorbed in prayer and religious medi =
tion. had not even perceived the vain al
tempt to effect his deliverance.
The coach had at last reached the
Rue Royale and the Place de la Reyolu-
ton, where the crowd was immense.
The scaffold stood little to the left of
the Place, where the Obelisk now
stands, but nearer the Champs Elysees,
toward which the guillotine was turned.
A mass of troops formed a square
around the fatal spot. The coach
stopped at distance of few PAGES.
The king, feeling that the molten had
ceased, looked up from his prayer
book, saying quietly: 1--WE have
reached the place, / think"
One of the executioner's assistants |
opened the door. The king earnestly |
commended the priest who accom-
panied him to the care of the gen.
darmes, and then stepped from the
coach.
Three men surrounded him and tried |
TO take off his coat. He calmly pushed
them back and removed it himself,
opening his shirt collar and preparing
his neck for the AK. The executioners,
who seemed at first disconnected and
almost awed, then again came around
him, holding rope.
The king drew back quickly, exclaim-
ing:
What do you want to do?"
ITO tie your hands,"
The king exclaimed, indignantly:
Tie my hands! No, l will not submit
% this. Do your duty, but do not at
empt to tie me; you shall not do i'll"
The executioners persisted, and spoke
oudly. The king looked toward the
Abbe Edgeworth, who at once saw the
of resistance, and said, (
yently: "Sire, this last insult will only :
'rovide fresh point of resemblance :
between your majesty and the God
Who will be your recompense."
The king looked up to Heaven: AS

His hands were tied, and, with the
assistance of his confessor, he ascended
the steps of the scaffold, which were
very steep. When he reached the top
he broke away from the able, walked
firmly across the scaffold, silenced the
drums by glance of authority, and

There was a shudder that ran
through the crowd like a great wave,
but at the word of command the drums
heat prolonged ro1l, and the voice
could no longer be heard. The king,
seeing that all further address to the
crowd would be fruitless, turned to
the guillotine and calmly took his place
on the fatal plank, to which he was
fastened. The apparatus turned over
and the ak fell 1t was then quarter
