Upholster the top with curled hair
and denim of some desirable color, and
catch it all around the edges with
large. oval headed lacks, that may be
driven through a gimp band to hide the
raw edges of the material.
The entire outside of the tabOuret is
to be covered with the denim and held
in pace with oval headed brass up
holsterer's lacks having heads three
Fights of an inch in diameter.
Pockets of denim can be made and
tackled fast to the inside of each side,
and they should be made full enough
to receive a pair OF shoes nicely. The
pattern at the front side and the cir
Giles at the lower end of each side are
formed with tacks
The cover is prevented from falling
back too far by chain at one side, the
ends of which are attached to the un-
der side of the cover and to an angle
at the side of the receptacle. If paint
ed or enamelled wood is preferred to
the denim covering; the embellish-
ment can be worked out with the tacks
to equally good advantage.

I'm whatever lfaAl one chooses TO
view the matter. ooHeyal Mile, IS
most interesting personality. IIo won
the confidence Of The principal men in
the civil war by his conduct during he
four years COLLECT. and he since has
made a Worldwide reputation as
fearless Indian fighter To the casual
observer General Miles appears to be
a man who has had a successful bust
ness career, rather than man who
has been fighting for two-thirds Of MS
active life and who has recovered from
four serious bullet wounds.
No man. either in the civil war or
in any other conflict, attained to the
distinction at the age of twenty-siX
years that Miles won under Grant.
When this officers age is kept i'll mind,
what he did from 1861 to 1860 be-
comes most conspicuous.
He was not quite twenty-five years
old when Fort Sumter was fired upon,
and he then was employed in store
not far from Boston He had come in
to the possession of 81 600, and prompt
ly devoted this money to organizing
company of volunteers. He succeeded
in borrowing $1,000 more from a rel
ative. giving his personal note as Sc
curity With this money young Miles
equipped his company, was elected rs
its captain, and made all arrangements
to go to the front But the Governor
of Massachusetts. learning the age Of
the young captain, refused to issue a
commission to him. Instead he made
Miles a lieutenant, and in that capacity
he joined the federal forces.
1t was but a short time, however,
before fate and Miles achievements re
versed the action of the Massachusetts
Governor Before he had been long
In active service Miles was made Il
captain, then a colonel, later a briga-
der general and finally a major gem
eral General Hancock. under whom
he served in the early years of the
war, quickly discovered his abilities
and was the more interested in the
young man because of the fact that
Miles had not been graduated from
West Point. lie was in charge of Hau-
cocks skirmish line at Charlottesville
and held his own successfully against
every attack by Lees veterans. In

We publish this morning a very inter
esting letter from. Mr. W. II. II. Murray,
In which he discusses the old lyceum
which was SO potent and fourishing
thirty or forty years ago, and considers
the causes of it's decline and the possibili-
Ties OF Its revival. All that Mr.. Murray
says about the popularity and power of
the lecture course Of that period is true.
as great many persons in every New
England community can testify. These
persons, too, will join him in lamenting
that its ancient glory has departed and
wish him all success in his efforts to
bring it back. But we are afraid that Mr..
Murray's diagnosis Of the cause of the
decline is not thorough, and that the
case is not quite SO simple as he seems
to think. We suspect that one very potent
cause of this decline is to be found in the
cheapness of magazines and newspapers
and their vastly increased circulation.
What communities used to get from the
lips of men they now get from their
pens, and the latter method of commune
cation has largely superseded the former
ChlCbJt pOAAdPSy lOI bllc TtcfsOu UndU III Is
great economizer of labor. We do not
believe there has been any decline of
eagerness on the part of the general pub
lie to learn or on the part of specialists in
various departments of knowledge to
teach during the past thirty years, but
new ways of learning and of teaching have
been opened by progress in the mechani-
cal arts, and these new way havo super
seeded the old. presumably because, all
things considered. they are more efficient.
Nevertheless the new ways lack much of
the charm of the old ways. The words
that flow from the pen OF great man can
seldom have the charm Or the power of
the words that fall sfrom his lips, but the
former can be made to reach vastly more
persons than the latter and so their eff
cheney in the aggregate may be greater
But the two methods are not Incompatible
with one another, and it would be easily
possible to use both of them. There is
room for them both without crowding
one another.

VISITED GRAY GABLES.
Burglars Drank C1eveland's Wine But
Spared His Fishing Tackle.

Buzzard's Bay, January 1b.-Gray
Gables. the summer home of ex-PIesident
Cleveland, has been visited by burglars
who ransacked the house from attic to
cellar and made good their escape without
leaving the slightest clew as to their
| identity.
| 1t was learned that entrance to the
house was made through one of the win
dows on the side that faces the bay. This
was accomplished by forcing the catch
and seemed to evidence that the burglars
were acquainted with the easiest way of
emf ering the building.
| Inc window through which the crooks
entered leads into the dining room, and
| from the dining room access to all the
other rooms of the house was an easy mat
| ter.
| In the dining room it would appear
| from the disordered condition of the fur
nishings the crooks made as thorough a
search for plumber as in any part of the
house, and that they expected to make a
rich haul of china and silverWare seems
certain.
| In the sitting room the furniture and
| belongings were thrown about the floor
and piled in great disorder. Every thing
in this room was out of place, and the
| condition of the room would seem to
warrant the belief that, being disappoint-
ed in not finding the room furnished with
rare and costly bric-a-bric, the burglars
| just threw things about for spite.
| In all the rooms on the first floor SINH
lar conditions existed. Upstairs the beds
and bedding were scattered about the
rooms, and everything indicated that q
thorough and systematic search had been
made in quest of valuables.
From the condition of things in the
kitchen it is evident that more or less
wine was found, and that the crooks held
high carnival while the ruby liquor
lasted.
The kitchen was presumably the last
place that the burglars visited after COM
pleting the search of the house, and here
it would appear that they bundled up
what booty they secured preparatory to
taking leave of the house.
While the house was practically ran
sacked from top to bottom, there was one
room in which it is believed that the bur
glars did not enter, that is the ''gun
ROOM so called. This room is on the
same floor as the dining and sitting room
and over part of the kitchen.
In this room the ex-President keeps all
his fishing tackle and his valuable colleo-
ton of rods, reels and lines. Beside the
valuable collection of fishing rods, Mr..
Cleveland hasa collection of guns there
that would be the envy Of any sportsman.
1t is not known how much plumber
WAS secured.
