The House Artistic.

The secret OF a pretty home is not
So much in expensive furniture and
decoration as in the display of good
taste and an artistic perception of
the fitness of things, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer. For boudoirs and
cosy rooms suites should be Ia
booed in favor of dainty nick-nacks,
comfortable chairs and lounges, occa-
sional tables and so forth, and in these
rooms pretty draperies are a sine qua
non. The only rooms in which suites
are TO be tolerated are the bed rooms,
the dining room and perhaps the
library. Given the same things, a wo-
man deficient in taste would declare
she had not the wherewithal to lift
her surroundings out of the common
place.
A little shifting will often work
wonders. Our ideas have long since
SCARED beyond the piano pushed back
close to the wall, the sofa situated in
similar stiff pose, and the table in
the center of the room strewn with
drawingroom albums and photographs
in frames. Our cry is for the pictur-
esque, and no matter in how humble a
way we may be situated, our homes
must, above all things, be artistic.
Few people seem to realize how
much can be done to beautify q room
by means of screen. 1t is one of the
most useful ornaments in many ways.
In winter it serves to cut off draughts,
in summer it will furnish corner.

To Clean Wall Paper.

There are several ways by which
wall paper can be cleaned so that it
looks almost as good as new. The
knowledge may be of use to house
keepers.
One way is an old one, but as it is
satisfactory, we give it with the rest.
Take loaf of bread, stale, but not too
hard, and cut off one crust; then, tax.
ing it in one hand, rub the paper gently
with the exposed surface. When the
bread looks soiled, cut off very thin
slice and proceed with the work. 1t
is best to rub up and down on the pa
per, and clean each place thoroughly
before leaving it.
Another way is to take loaf OF
bread and after removing the crust
soak it in cloudy household ammonia.
1t must be so wet that one can work it
in the hands into ball. Rub the pa
per lightly with it, and, as the ball be-
comes soiled on the outside, knead ii
until a clean surface is exposed. This
will remove the dirt and smoke and
freshen up the paper wonderfully.
Another plan is to make a soft
dough of coarse brown flour mixed
with water. 1t should he stiff enough
to handle easily. The paper can be
rubbed with it as in the former meth.
cd. When there are grease spots on
the paper lay coarse brown paper over
and pass q hot iron over it. Fresh
paper may be needed several times
if the spot is large.
When there are spots from which
the color has been removed, they can
be made to look as good as new by the
use of water-color paints. The design
should be traced first and the filling
then put in with the paints.

go anywhere in the world the authorities
see fit to send them. This afternoon a
committee of young ladies came down
from Atlanta, and, in behalf of the Young
Ladies' Relief Association of that city,
presented the regiment with a handsome
flag. The young ladies were met at the
depot by Col Gamblers staff ana escorted
to the post, where all arrangements for
the presentation had been made
Every man in the regiment was at his
post of duty, and a larger body of men
was never seen on the grounds before.
Miss Jennie English one Of Atlantas
farest daughters, in a most graceful and
becoming manner presented the flag At
Col Gamblers request, Maj. Spence who
had fought and bled for the colors re-
ceived them in a most appropriate way.
His words of thanks showed his love for
duty of his country. His tribute to the no
bic association presenting them with the
handsome flag was a just one.

FERNAND1NA STILL INSISTS.

While Soldiers Are boarding Trains
She Works to Keep Them There.
Fernandina Eta, Aug. 22.-At daylight
this morning cars arrived and were placed
on the camp track for the transportation
of the First Florida Regiment to Hunts
vile. The regiment broke camp this morn
ing and ali day long they have been load
ing their equipment The wagons. tents.
etc, We're first loaded, followed by the
wagon mules and officers horses.
At 9 O'Clock tonight all is loaded with
the exception of the men, who viii 90 on
board the cars during the night and before
tomorrow dawns the regiment will be on
its way to the new camp grounds at
Huntsville, unless their orders are changed
before they leave. This may be the case,
as strong appeals all through the state
from influential people are being made,
both to Gov Bloxham, as well as Presi-
dent Mckinley, TO allow the Florida regi-
ment to remain at Fernandina, where they
are nearer home, and where the parents,
who are also taking a hand in the strong
effort to have the regiment remain, can
see them. a prominent officer of the First
Florida said they would much rather re-
main here than go to Huntsville and he
was sure that this was the wish of the en-
tire regiment.
The Second New York will be the next
regiment 10 leave They VIII go to Troy.
where they will undoubtedly be mustered
out of service They will leave as soon
as transportation is furnished which will
probably be Wednesday.
There is little doubt now that Fernan-
dina will be entirely clear of troops in
two weeks, as orders have again been re-
ceived for their removal.
The First Ohio has been transferred to
the Seventh Corps under Gen. Lee, and
viii move to Jacksonville.
The other six regiments here, Thirty
second Michigan, Fifth Ohio, Sixty-ninth
New York, Third Pennsylvania, Third
Ohio and One Hundred and Flfty-seventh
Indiana will go to Huntsville unless their
orders are changed.
There Is strong efforts being made by
the colOnels of some of the regiments, es-
pecially Col Athone Of the Third Ohio,
and Col. Kennon of the Fifth Ohio, as
well as Col Duffy of the Sixty-ninth New
York, to have their regiments transferred
to the Seventh Corps, and these officers
have visited Jacksonville and Gen Lee,
presumably for this purpose. There is a
desire among most Of the regiments to be
mustered out, and petitions have been
circulated by some of the privates, but
when 1t came to some of the officers
notice it was quickly stopped and hushed
up, as most of the officers want to con-
tinue in the service.
Four cargoes of coal have arrived for
the government.
The torpedo boat Gwynn arrived In port
tonight bound for Charleston.

Lieut.. shearer Makes Serious
Charges Against Capt. Bradley.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. PA row has broken
loose between Capt. c. G. Bradley OF the
Georgia Volunteer Artillery and members
of the machine gun battery Of the Fifth
Georgia Regiment, which he commanded
before he accepted commission of the ar
tillery battery now at Chickamauga.

off with about $3.50 which belongs to the
machine gun battery, and refuses to re-
turn the same. This money, Lieut.. Shear
er says, was collected by Capt. Bradley
from the city of Atlanta under the ord

According TO the statement of Lieut..
Shearer, Capt. Bradley, after repeated
demands had been made upon him, prom

but failed TO keep the engagement and
now members of the machine gun battery
are threatening to call attention of the
war department to the matter with a view
of having a court martial.
While this controversy Is going on the

vacate its free quarters at the capitol to

War has gwen his promise that the Third
Georgia Regiment shall not be among
those first mustered out. He did that this
morning in response 20 the request Of Col.
Livingston, who came on 10 Washington
in the interest Of the boys of the Third.
The Congressman from the Firth dis
trict went to the war department bright
and early this morning and at once enlisted
in his cause Assistant Secretary Meikle-
john, with whom he served several years
IN the House, and who is his personal
friend.
The assistant secretary took the matter
up at once. Col Livingston told him Of
the excellent personnel of the regiment
and of the great desire of officers and men
for service They were willing, ne said
TO go anywhere-their only desire being
to see service. Col Meiklejohn at once
laid the matter before the secretary. The
matter was discussed with
Gen. Alger for few min

that he might telegraph Col Gambler that

that a good many more additional troops
