ings--How to Improve Your Homes.
Probably at no time in tho worlds
history has SO much attention been
maid TO the Interior decoration Of
homes as at present. No home. no
matter how humble, is without its
handiwork that helps to beautify the
apartments and make the surround
ings 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, q draping, n piece OF furniture
or some 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 hand
some In this line been seen. The sub
1ects represented by these plaques are
American vii. Ducks. American
Pheasant. American Quail and English
Snipe. They are handsome paintings
and are especially designed for hang
ing on dining-room walls, though
their richness and beauty entities them
to a place In the parlor OF any home.
These original plaques have been pur-
chased at a cost Of $4,000 by J. G.
Hubinger Bros. Co., manufacturers OF
the celebrated Elastic Starch, and in
order to enable their numerous Gus
toners to become possessors OF these
handsome works OF art they have had
thea reproduced by special process
in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished On
heavy cardboard, pressed and en-
bossed In the shape Of a plaque and
trimmed with O heavy band Of gold.
They measure forty inches in circan-
ference and contain no reading matter
or advertisement whatever.

And = Word About Other Things Old,
Including Old Habits.
GAS easy as an old shoe" is "a
miliar saying" said Mr.. Staybolt, land
there can be no doubt that an old shoe
is a mighty comfortable thing. After
we have worn the new shoes, close fit
ting, hard, and formal, how gladly we
put them of, and with what joy we
put on the shoes that are old and worn
and familiar to the feet. Old shoes.
however. are not the only thing old
that we like. We like an old bed, II
1t is not too old. but just old enough,
so that while still soft and comfort
able it is also shaped somewhat to the
body, which it supports at every point,
yielding degree of comfort which not
the finest of beds can afford when 1t
is new. But it is so with all things
old. that are not too old. including old
habits. We cling to them. so long as
they give us comfort, and we hate to
change. We are creatures of habit,
who would IL we could follow to the
end along the first comfortable rut we
fall into. and never look out above its
sides. And 1t is well for us that Our
shoes wear out, and that we have to
buy new ones and wear them; that we
are in various ways compelled to
change: that we are rooted out now
and then and set going anew. And
some Of us profit by this change. Once
lifted out of the rut We stay up on the
plain, where there is nothing to cramp
us, and where we can lay about freely
in any direction in accordance with
our power, but more of us, fancy.

shoes grow old again, and yield with

How Captain Luce Saved tho Lives of His
Crew.
Captain Eben Luce of New England
is reputed to have been seaman of
great resources. He never got in II
pinch without finding some way out of
it, and one day when his vessel lay
laboring In gale right in sight Of his
own home he demonstrated his cool
ness and ingenuity In Il manner that
was never tried before. If he could
get n line to land there was some
chance of saving the lives of his wife
and his crew, but 1t seemed impossl-
BILE. He fired one from II gun like those
that are used by the lifc-saving serv-
ice, but 1t fell short. a life-bOat that
he sent ashore was swamped In the
surf and those who manned 1t were
drowned. No human being could swim
in such a sea, and 1t seemed to the
ncighbors who were watching from
the shore that Captain Luce and all on
board We're doomed unless the storm
subsidized. But Captain Eben had his
wits with him, and. looseninS the hal
yard from the mainmaist. he made one
end fast to the hind leg of pig he
had in n pen on deck and threw the
porker overheard. The instincts of
self preservation and muscular
strength enabled the pig to make the
shore. although for several minutes he
was tossed backward and forward
hclplcssly by the breakers. The crowd

then heavier rope which Captain
Eben had dashed to 1t and finally n
hawser, on which the whole ships

Where blooms the Waitawhile eovo-

And the soft Goeasys grow?
It lies in the valley of Whatstheuss
In the province of Letersliie;

It's the home Of the reckless Idontcare
Where the Giveitups abide.
The town is as old as the human racs
And it grows with the flight of veare
It is wrapped in the fog of isIar,s

Its streets are paved with discarded

And sprinkled with useless tears.

Are plentiful there, no doubt.
The rest Of its crowd are motley crew
With every class except one in view
The Foolkiller is barred out.
The town of Nogood is all hedged ahop,
BY the Mountains Of Despair
No sentinel stands on its gloomy walls
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls
For towards alone are there.

Humphreys, in charge of the trans
port service with Gen. Skaters army,
will SEND back to Tampa the vessels
that can be spared as rapidly as pos
sible. In fact, word has been received
that the transports have already

sible the war department will send
$4,000 men from Tampa on these
transports. Six vessels, recently load
ed with men, ammunition, arms, sup

some batteries of artillery. In all
these forces constitute about 5000 men.
Secretary Alger received cable dis

reading it he would not say from
whom it was or from where it had
been sent. He also said that he had
nothing to give out at present. When
asked what course would be pursued
in view OF Gen. Skaters report of
the condition of Santiago, Alger said
that the government did not intend
TO make any Of its plans public, and
give the enemy an opportunity OF
knowing what was intended. It is I'M

Gen. Miles in the course of a brief
talk said that Gen. Shafter might
contemplate the withdrawal of his
forces to the highlands in the direction
of Siboney, where they would be near
the sea. This however, would be a
temporarily expedient, enabling the
soldiers to rest and prepare for the

WILL RUN FOR PRESIDENT
Kentucky Woman Who Aspires to Be
Chief Magistrate.

In all probability the world will
shortly know more of Mrs. Josephine
X. Henry than it does at present
Mrs. Henry is a Kentucky woman
whose declared ambition it is to be-
come president of the United States.
Up to date she is believed to be the
only member of her sex who intends
TO initiate the famous Belva Lockwood
Mrs. Henry, who lives at Versailles,
Ky, combines the rare faculty of good
cooking and good craftsmanship. She
has not the shallow volubility or the
QuiXotism of Mrs. Lease, and the legis-
lation favored by her is not of the
mouse and caramel order. Mrs Henry
has earnest supporters, too, among the
newspapers of her county. The Blue
Grass Blade, after throwing several
handsprings in her honor and slosh
ing around for four columns, says:
In all that constitutes the truest
and greatest greatness Mrs. Josephine
*. Henry is the greatest human be-
ing in America"
The editor is in earnest, too, for he
goes on to saw out planks for Mrs
Henry's platform. He says that q
plank should be adopted reasserting
the religious liberties guaranteed by
the constitution and protesting against
the payment of chapains for the two
houses of congress, This is not all
After doing away with the chaplains,
Mrs. Henry is to stand upon a plank

sary, in order to make them learn their
lessons. The right of jurisdiction as

the states, and requiring the establish
ment of international currency and
Recommending to the government own
ership of railroads and telegraphs.
There is no doubt that if Mrs. Henry
will take her hands out of the pie
crust and go seriously to work on
these lines she will create a sensation
This is especially true of the chaplain
feature. The chaplains in Washington
have been having an easy thing from
time immemorial on one prayer a day.
Mrs. Henry will have them pray more
