BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of the Age Is Toward
Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the worlds history
has as much attention been paid to the in
terror decoration of homes as at present
No home, no matter how humble, is without
it's handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful. The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
in the way of picture, draping a
piece of furniture or other form OF mural
decoration. One of the latest of these has
been given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muville, in series Of four handsome
porcelain game plaques. Not for years has
anything as handsome in this line been SEEN
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pleas
ant, American Quail and English snipe
They are handsome paintings and are es-
pecialy designed for hanging on dining
ty entitled them to a place in the parlor OF
any home. These original plaques have been
purchased at a cost of $4,000 by j. G. Hub
niger Bros. Co., manufacturers of the cee
brated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable
their numerous customers to become posses
sors of these handsome works of art they
process, in all the rich coors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape of plaque and trimmed with a heavy
band of gold They, measure forty inches
in circumference and contain no reading

| err Bros. Co. propose to distribute these

kept the tail of it on his unruly fol

Is Calling on His Sister.

Jamie has big sister-a blooming, bound
JAMES school used to call on her. He came
term, and wore rubber overshoes. He, al
ways was afraid of catching cold. He left
these shoe protectors in the hall. Jamie, by
no means sure of passing from seventh into
eighth grade, was coming his geography
from necessity, not choice, and he saw those
eoloshes
So he got the tack hammer and two tacks
and nailed through the rubber soles into the
floor. When Mr.. Principal departed an hour
later Jamie was watching him. Mr.. Prnci-
pal, still smiling on the big sister, inserted
his feet in his understand then he braided
himself up in the most amazing fall that

A BACHELORS Sayings.

The main trouble with most women
is that their husbands don't neglect
them enough.
Probably the ass had the idea that
BALKAN was taking her for present
to some woman.
When man refers to Honolulu you
may be pretty certain he isn't sure b ow
to pronounce Hawaii.
A philosopher is a man who can ad-
mire woman after he has found out
that she doesn't admire him.
A woman will quarrel with her h,ls-
band for wearing his old coat around
the house the same day she puts of
combing her hair till after breakfast.
A man never knows whether he is
really in love with woman till he has
tried to imagine how she would look
with three of her front teeth out.-N

CHAPTER xxx.
THE BLACK SPOT AGAIN.


The council of the buccaneers had
lasted some time, when one of them
reentered the house, and with repeti-
ton of the same salute, which had in
my eyes an ironical air, begged for a
moments loan of the torch. Silver
briefly agreed; and this emissary re-
tired again, leaving us together in the
dark.
There's breeze coming, JIM" said
Silver, who had by this time adopted
quite a friendly and familiar tone.
turned to the loop-hole nearest me
and looked out. The embers of the
great fire had so far burned themselves
out and now glowed SO low and dusky
that I understood why these conspir-
ators desired torch. About half way
down the slope to the stockade they
were collected in group; one held the
light; another was on his knees in their
midst, and I saw the blade of an open
knife shine in his hand with varying
cofors in the moon and torchlight. The
rest were all somewhat STOPPING, as
though watching the maneuvers of this
last. I could just make out that be
had book as well as knife in his
hand, and was still wondering how
anything so homogeneous had come in
their possession, when the kneeling fig
IRE rose once more to his feet and the
whole party began to move together to-
ward the house.
Here they come" said I, and 1 re-
turned to my former position, for it
seemed beneath my dignity that they
should find me watching them.
"Well, let 'em come, lad-let 'em
come,' said Silver, cheerily. 1--WE still
shot in my locker"
The door opened and the five men,
standing huddled together just inside,
pushed one of their number forward.
In any other circumstances it would
have been comical to see his slow adj
vances, hesitating as he set down each
foot, but holding his closed right hand
in front of him.
''Step up, lad" cried Silver. 81 won't
eat you. Hand it over, lubber. know
the rules, do; I won't hurt depyta
ton"
Thus encouraged the buccaneer
stepped forth more briskly and, having
passed something to Silver, from hand
to hand, slipped yet more smartly back
again to his companions.

said, and by this time was quite ex-
cited; ''and the first is this: Here you

stopped, for, tell you, was out of
breath, and, to my wonder, not a man
| of them moved, but all sat staring at
me like as many sheep. And while
| they were still staring, l broke out
again:
"And now, Mr.. Silver said, II be-
lieve you're the best man here, and if
things go to the worst, I'll take it kind
of you to let the doctor know the way
I took it,"
It'll bear it in mind" said Silver, with
an accent so curious that could not,
for the life of me, decide whether he
were laughing at my request or had
been favorably affected by my cour-
age.
I'll put one to that" cried the old
Elahogany-faced seaman-Morgan by
name-whom had seen in Long John s
public house upon the quays of Bristol.
1T was him that knowed Black Dog"
"Well, and see here" added the sea-
cook. I'll put another again to that,
| by thunder! For it was the same boy
that faxed the chart from Billy Bones.
First and last we've split upon Jim
Uawkins!"
''Then here goes!" said Morgan, with
an oath.
And he sprang up, drawing his knife
as if he had been twenty.
"Avast, there!" cried Silver. "Who
are you, Tom Morgan? Maybe you
thought you were captain here, per-
haps. BY the powers, l III teach you
better! Cross me, and you'll go where
many a good mans gone before you

Morgan paused; but a hoarse MUIR
muir rose from the others.

I'll be hazed by you, John Silver"

In the light of this exposure it will
not be difficult for intelligent people to
understand how it happened that the
volunteer soldiers in camp at Chicka-
mauga were compelled to undergo hard
ships.
It developes that Huidekoper was
placed in charge Of the medical service
of 81, 600 human beings by the McKin.
ley administration on the recommends
tion Of Tom Platt and Matt Quay.
The idea of placing horse doctor,
q dog doctor, cat doctor-as you
please-in charge Of the service upon
which $4,000 American soldiers must
depend for medical and surgical atten-
tion, is q novel, if not a monstrous one.
In it's treatment of the American
soldier the war department seems to
have lost all sight of the duty to hu-
manity in its anxiety to discharge OBJ
legations to the cheap politicians.
