THE STUDY OF coLoRs.
Hues That Are Refreshing I'm Wall
Paper and Those That Are
Otherwise.

The study of colors and their effects
is very curious and interesting one.
There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening. Others that absorb
light and give boxed-up appearance
to a room, others that make room
with q bleak northern exposure or
with no exposure at all appear bright
and cheerful; some that make room
appear warm; some that make it cold.
If ceiling is to be made higher
leave it light, that it may appear to
recede. Deepening the color used on
the ceiling would make it lower, an
effect desirable If 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 you walk into blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color;
therefore, room fitted up with yell
low will appear smaller than it is. On
the other hand. blue of certain shade
introduced generously into room
viii give an idea of space. Red makes
no difference in regard to size. Green
makes very little.
II bright, sunny room gets its
light from a space obtruded upon by
russet-colored or yellow-painted
houses, or else looks out upon a
stretch of green grass. il should be
decorated in a color very different
from the shade chosen IL the light
comes from only an nnbroken expanse
of sky.
If olive or red brown be used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture
the result will be very different from
that obtained by the use of blue. Blue
would develop the tawny orange Turk

THE BIRDS OF CUBA.
A Citizen of the United States De-
scribes Some of the Numer-
GUS Species.


l saw one morning Cuban eagle or
hawk, called ''gabilan." 1t had a
white head and white'tips on its wings
Several partridges have been about
our camp. They closely resemble oars
in the states, and their call is sug-
gcstive of Bob Whites" hear now
and then the notes of mourning doves,
and other doves resembling those com
mon on the continent fly over the
fields occasionally. But of these home
like birds there are few. Parrots--
"cotorras" they are called here-are
very numerous, flying in fiocks with
incessant screenings. There is a very
breviations for "todos colores"-aii col
ors) which justifies its name by the
hues of its feathers. 1t lives in the
woods, is very tame, and has a soft
and sad note like the mourning dove.
The bird most in evidence, however.
to both sight and hearing is the Gao"
Before daylight in the morning and
after dusk in the evening its extraor-
binary vocal performances command
attention. 1t shrieks, shouts. chatters
and scolds SO much like human be-
ing that the effect Is startling. Iseem
TO trace in its utterances whole
string of Spanish oaths, and somehow
the intensity of its emphasis always
makes me laugh. The Gao is black
bird somewhat smaller than a cloW,
and with tail so long that it seems to
overload it. The Cubans say that it
can be taught to talk. and that it has
magpie's thievishness.
There are several kinds of wood

trunks of the palm trees bear tesfi-
mony to their industry.
! have written of the kingbird, or
''pitirre." The name, like that of
many other Cuban birds, is derived
from its note. "P'tir-r-el p'tir-r-ei" Ii
cries as it dashes from its home in the
big ceiba at the vultures sweeping
near, and its great enemy always flaps
away in haste. The Cubans are fond
of likening the pitirre to the insurgent
fighters for Cuban libre. The sparrow
('gorrion') is the national bird of
Spain, and was long ago introduced
into the island, where ii made its
home in the towns, as the English spar
row does. 1t tried to extend It's do7
minion to the country also. the Gu
bans say, but the pitirre chased IL
back TO the posts held by Spain, ana
there it remains beleaguered. A pretty
conceit even II not quite borne out by
the habits of sparrows.-Capt. N. G.

SINGULAR OLD LONDON CLUB.

The city of London has probably given
birth to a greater number of clubs than
any other municipality in Chr1stendom;
and these have embraced every shade Of
political opinion and social municipal in
fuence One Of the most eccentric OF
them ali was the Friendly Club, founded
In 1885, and afterWard known as the Cen
tenary Club. Thanks to ]. w. SherWell, the
poration has been put into possession Of
several minute books of this once famous
club, which Sergeant Robinson, one OF
the last members of the club, and for
some time its honorary secretary. The
club possessed "a father" and % moth

haps, high steward, Wsoe tenure of office
was of short duration, but whose powers
were wide and whose discretion was
large. The toasts of The Father" and
THE Mother" were standing dishes, as
also was one curiOusly styled "One More"
A member, in taking wine with another,
always said, My service to you" and
after the removal of the cloth the Re
corder" said: Has any member of the
club to report honOrs or preferments that
he has experienced since the last meet
ing, such as baronetcies, knighthoods,
sons or daughters married, or children
or grandchildren born in lawful wedlock?"
The custom Of the club was for every
member who achieved honorable distinc-

Here in America the frecracker is the
small boys legitimate medium for ex-
pressing his patriotic approval of great
national event. His enthusiasm expends
itself in day, consequently the noise of
countless numbers Of exploding crackers
lasts but short time.
Not so in the Orient. There the use Of
1recrackers is not limited by age or posi-
ton Their use is universal and has been

" that in the beginning they were en-
ployed to brighten away evil spirits. But
as the country partially emerged from It's
dense Ignorance, and shook off a part of
it's load Of superstitions, the cracker be-
came an expression Of good will and Of
ceremonious compliment. Now the ex-
ploding of firecrackers is as much of an
Incident at wedding festivities in China
as the throwing of rice or old shoes is
here. Not only is the marriage feast en-
livened by the cracker, but births and
funerals, and festivals, religious, civil and
military ceremonies bring the cracker into
play. Also they are used at New Years
