THE EFFECT OF COLORS.

Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and makes it seem cheerful.
Red brings out in room whatever
hint of green turks in the composition
of the other colors employed.
If olive or red brown is used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture the
effect is very different from what it
would be if blue were used. Blue would
develop the tawny orange lurking in the
mahogany.
If ceiling is set high, leave it light,
that it may appear to recede. Deepen
ing 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 SUBJ
stitutes for sunlight.
If a bright, sunny room gets its light
from n space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow-painted houses. or
else looks out upon a stretch of green
grass, it should be decorated in color
very different from the shade chosen if
the light comes from only an unbroken
eSpanse Of sky.
The thermometer seems to fall six de-
grees when you walk into atblue room.
Yellow is an advancing color; there
fore, room fitted up in yellow will
appear smaller than it is. On the other
hand, blue Of n certain shade introduced
generously into a room will give an
idea of space. Red makes no difference
in regard to size. Green makes very

STRUCK A SORE PLACE.

The following item from Fridays
INDEPENDENT evidently struck a
sore place in the anatomy of the ex-
principal:
"A taxpayer would like to know
whether the principal Of the Elko
public school is paid our OF the public
funds to perform his duties in the
.schoolrOom or look after the interests
OF his paper during the hours when
school ID in session. The INDEPEN-
DENT is unable 10 answer the query
and respectfully refers it to the
trustees Of the EIko district"
In reply to this innocent query f.
G. Snyder, principal of the public
school, infiicts upon the people of
this community nearly two columns
of self praise and personal abuse of
the editor of the IAOEpsNDGNT.
There is no covert inslnudtion con-
tanned in the item above quoted. it
merely stated fact that Mr.. Snyder
admits in the course of his article.
That he has been on the streets at
tending to his paper day after day,
since the opening II school last Sep
tember, when he should have been in
the school room attending to the
duties for which he is paid by the
people OF this district, he does not
attempt to deny. un the contrary he
muddies the water by devoting
nearly two columns of his paper to
praise of himself aud his achieve
ments and closes the article with Lam
guage no sef-respecting journalist
would use. BY this he hopes to es-
cape the judgment of the people on
ms course and make himself solid
with faction Of this community.
But in both we believe he will fail.
So far as the abuse of the
editor Of the INDEPENDENT,
is concerned he Will not reply
to it nor dignity it with extend
Id CONNECT. 1t is beneath the con.
tempt Of every honoraL le man in
this community and is so regarded BY
ali whose opinions are worthy of con-
sideration. The editor OF this paper
does not desire the confidence or
friendship of any m3n low enough to
endorse such sentiments and such
language. fany such there be, they
are on plane too low for US.
The author OF that article while he
may be postmaster in the use Of
billingsgate is morally unfit for
teacher of the young. The associa-
ton Of children with such a character
is sure to bring them down to his low
moral standard.
In view of the language contained
in that article, the INDEPENDENT re-
spectfully asks the board of trustees
OF the Elko district il they wish to in
cur the responsibility of continuing
e. G. Snyder as principal of the Elko
public school?

The Illinois was originally built for q
passenger ship, but was later RELOCATED
to the transportation OF cattle and beef
to England, still as an adjunct to the
American line. In that capacity she
necessarily had an extensive system Of
cold storage, and this has readily adapt

will carry tons OF Ice and fresh proven
