The Study Of colors.

The study, Of colors and their effects
There are colors that r refreshing
and broadening. Others that absorb
light and give a btxed-up appearance
to a room, others that make a room
with a bleak northern exposure or with
no exposure at all appear bright and
cheelful; some that make g room app
pear warm; some that make it cold.

1t light, that 1t may appear to .recede.
Deepening, the color used on the CELL
ing would make it lower. an effect de-
sirable il the room is small and the
ceiling very high. Various tones Of
yellow are substitutes for sunlight.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when o walk into q blue
room. Yellow is an: advancing color;
therefore a room fitted up with yellow
will appear smaller than 1t is. On the
other hand, blue o Z q certain shade In
troduced generously into q room will
give an idea Of space. Red makes no
difference in regard to. size. Green
makes very little.

yellow in it and make it seem cheerful.

IA GARLAND'S
TRIP TO THE KLONDIKE

Nobody knew where we were. 1t a
impossible to tell from the maps. It
was comparatively easy for an expert
enced miner to weep the trail, but there
We're scores Of men who lost it.. The
trail wasn't even blazed. The man
who was sent out to survey it got lost.
w were on short rations for about
six days before we reached Fort Wran-
gel. We fed some of the poor fellows
along the trail, but one a to look out
for himself, too, in that country. We
were 70 days or the trail, which we
had expected to cover in so. Frequent
ly it took a day to cover 10 miles. 1t
required from three to five hours to
cross the streams. This was where we
had expected to End an arid country.
We could see where parties ahead Of
us had been able to ford the streams,
but they were swollen by the time we
reached them, and we had to crop
down trees n get across in that way.
1.-The Skagway trail was nothing COM
pared with it. The whole Skagway trail
is an easier task than one days tramp
through that pouring rain and bottom
less mud. If it was bad for us, What
must it have been for men who knew
nothing about such life? The flies and
other insects made life a torture. We
had the best protection obtainable in
the way of nets, but there were hun
dreds of men who We're without any
protection at all.
Those fellows had to live on ground
hogs and anything they could find. 1t
was horrible. Over our heads were the
snow peaks, and the glaciers all along
the trail helped to make a torrent Of
every small stream. It isn't much won-
der that when we reached the Stikine
at Telegraph Creek we were both about
tired out.
TRIP OVER CHILKOOT PASS.
"Babcock left me there. I QUILTED
him and started him into the country.
Then I proceeded to Fort Wrangle. 1
was just in time for the news Of the
Atlin Lake excitement, and the country
was full OF miners. I believe that 1t Is
a good mining country, but I don't want
any n to 60 there On what l say I
secured what I think are a number OF
good claims, and then started back.
Eyes, I came over the Chilkoot Pass,
and in one day. 1t was one of the
worst of the season. 1t was like walk
ing on the tops of church steeples. Nc
one could see where he was going, the
clouds were so thick. We waded thro'
water most of the way, and finally got
through alive. But it was frightful."
Mr.. Garland has about recovered from
the effects Of his journey, as he has had
three weeks in which to rest since land
ing at Seattle. But he has had enough
of the Klondike for a while.

Victim Of Popular Neglect.

Lots of folks sleep frequently in
sleeping cars" observed a railroad con-
ductor to a Washington Star reporter
but there is not one in each hundred
men or women, who can tell you an
hour after they get out of the car what
the name of the car is. Some lady pas
sengers can remember a car by the way
1T is furnished or it's general arrange
ment' inside, but it is rarely that they
ever try to impress the name of the car
upon their memory. I have been RIM
ming a sleeper back and forth to Chi
cago for nearly two years, and while
a lumber of my regular travellers re-
member, the porter and myself and
know u names, I have during that
time met but foul who remembered
the name of my car. Sleeping cars, as a
rule, have the same name from the time
they come out Of the shops, new, to
the time they are turned in for Junk
and some Of the names, it appear to
me, are attractive or curious enough to
be remembered. But they all share the
same fate, in that no one remembers or
cares to remember their names. Dur
Ing the twenty-three years I have been
in the sleeping car service I have had
as passengers. as may be supposed,
quite a number Of newly married cou-
pies. Many Of them I have had as 8
sengers in after years. Some OF them
remember me, and now and then recall
the fact that I carried them on their
bridal tour. but ! have never struck a
party OF that kind yet who could re-
member the name Of the car. Then,
again. there is q great army Of people
who do not know that every sleeping
q has Its own name and Its own in
dividuality. a. 1t were. They think the
sleepers are like the passenger coaches,
nanleless. and are actually surprised
when they are told otherwise, although
the name appears In q half dozen or
more places on every sleeper

CRoWNEDsHEADs AT TABLE.

crowned heads of Europe have always
exercised a potent charm upon the inn
aginations of those who have never
sat at their sides. But the pictures of
the ~"aeshpots of Egypt conjured up
by the fancy often widely differ from
the reality. Simplicity reigns at many
courts.
Among all the European rulers the
table Of the Emperor Of Austria, al
though he himself is extremely tenn
perate in eating and drinking, IS the
richest n best served. King Hum
bert of Italy, however, might almost
be called a vegetarian, as he lives al
most entirely upon fruits and vege-
tables. He drinks only Bordeaux wine
mixed with water. But the most tenn
perate of all the earth's potentates is
Pope Leo XIII. His breakfast, which he
is accustomed to eat after mass, con-
sists of coffee and milk alone.
At noon the aged ruler of the church
eats two eggs, a small piece of chicken,
as a rule, and some fruit. He drinks at
the same time a glass of Bordeaux. On
fast days fish nj macaroni are sub
stituted for the chicken. From dinner
time until bedtime the pope takes 10
nourishment with the exception Of a
bit of bread dipped in milk.
A better eater is the emperor of Rus
STA. Even at breakfast eggs, ham,
beef and tea must be placed on his
table. At luncheon, which is eaten
about II o'clock, the car takes bouil-
Ion, with eggs, mutton chops and cold
game. AS a rule, at this meal he also
drinks three cups of strong coffee.
At 2 o'clock he eats a dish of milk
and rice. Dinner is served at 6 O'Clock.
1t is a hearty meal after the French
pattern. Before going to bed he stills
the pangs of hunger with tea and coffee.
Queen Victoria prefers Scotch dishes,
and the queen regent of Spain remains
true to the Austrian cooking, being es-
pecially fond of Vienna bread.
Emperor William II. is a heavy eater,
He prefers nourishing dishes, however,
to the refined examples of the cooks
AN wal OdIH lie Is
served with an English breakfast, con-
sisting of tea, bread, eggs in some form,
cotelette, beefsteak, etc.
His lunch, usually eaten alone, is also
rich. He takes at this time SOUP, meats.
vegetables, roast and sweets. Dinner
is announced at 5 o'clock. At this meal
the empress and chance guests help
the emperor to while away the time. It
does not consist usually of more dishes
than the other meals, but great care
is taken in selecting them.
The empress often makes up the bill
of fare herself, and tries to choose the
favorite dishes of her husband. If the
emperor has taken much exercise dur
ing the day a light meal is eaten late
at night. Tea and cold meats at least
are always ready. His majesty is ex-
tremely fond Of bowie or punch, sell
dom taking beer. His favorite wines are
moselle and Rhine MISUNDERSTANDING

an, again the exceptions in favor Of
doing so. For instance, If the man in
troduced is the husband or brother OF
the woman making the introduction it
would be natural to shake hands with
him, almost imperatively 50; but were
he a mere acquaintance it would be
most unusual to shake hands with
him on first introduction. After a little
short and desultory conversation has
taken place between two women or be-
tween a woman and a man just intro
duced to each other, the doubt arises
whether they are expected to shake
hands on taking their departure; neith-
err do they shake hands at future chance
meetings, should they occur, unless
meeting unde exceptionally favorable
circumstances for promoting acquaint>
ance at the houses of mutual friends
and at social functions etc. On the
other hand, the hostess shakes hands
with any and every guest brought to
her house by her friends. She does SO
on their arrival INC on their departure
and again at n subsequent meeting
If she happens to recollect them, which
is not always certain to be the case.
AS regards dinner guests, when a
nan is introduced to a. woman for the
purpose of taking her in to dinner she
does not shake hands with him, but.
merely bows, and, however well they
may have got on together during din
ner. she does not shake hands with
him later on in the evening. when TAX
ing her departure. Indeed, the oppor-
tunity seldom occurs for even bowling
to him. At. second meeting bows only
are interchanged, and it much depends
one or eases altogether.
