The Latest Bed Couch.

A new bed couch is of the ordinary
width of q couch, with a metal frame.
The springs are Of the woven mattress
variety and as wide as double bed,
but with flexible hinges, dividing it
into three parts. This woven spring and
a thin hair mattress of the same size
are spread over the main frame of the
couch like tablecloth over q table, the
sides Of the couch being hidden by the
overhanging outer thirds of the two
mattresses, like the leaves of an old
fashioned kitchen table.
During the day this couch may be
covered with a Bagdad portiere. At
night the ''leaves" of the spring and
hair mattresses are raised and locked in
place by lock springs, the bedding taken
out Of the compartment in the center Of
the couch and made into a most COM
Portable bed.

There are three degrees of th

There are three degrees of the
rank of admiral in all navies whose
organizations are logical: Admiral,
vice admiral and rear admiral. Far
ragut and other distinguished officers
in times past have been successfully
vice admirals and admirals. Con-
gress in it's alleged wisdom decreed
that these ranks should expire with
their holders and today we have only
rear admirals. That explains why it
is that the victor Of Manila can only
be promoted to rear admiral and not
to the rank of full admiral. The Pres
ident has done all he could for Dew
ey. Congress appears to have got in
to its head the singular notion that
two degrees of the rank of admiral
are unrepublican and the third is
not.

ABOUT MARRYING.

Do you ever think how much more
happiness there is in the married
state than out of it, if people would
only live Alright?
Why not weave your romantic
dreams with your husband as hero
Is man who is somebody else's hus-
band. or a man who is unfortunate
enough never to have been any body's
hush and a more ideal character than
your own? Why? Perhaps if you be-
gun to treat him, now he is your hus-
band, as you did when you were crazy
for fear he might not be, your hus-
band. new ard hitherto undeveloped
qualit ties might spring up in him.
There is a sort of fallacy prevale MT
that every man only wants to be fed
to be made happy think it is an
erroneous one, upon the whole l
have observed that after all there
are men whe like the refnements of
! life: who are fond of books and mu-
sic and flowers. That some of them
like romance, and are not at all
averse to having love and caresses
lavished upon them, and they can
bear a good deal of it too, uncom
plainingly.
once heard man say with break
| n his voice and away of look
longing in his eyes, as he observed
ayoung husband and wife together,
ooh, how much would I give if my
wife only cared for those little ca
resses!"
CHOW hungry get sometimes to stop
and kiss her, and sometimes to lay my
hand on her hair in caress, but she
always says whenever I do such thing
%, Jack! I wish you wouldn't bother!
You are SO silly!'"
And I wonder what he ever wanted
to "bother" with such cold blooded
woman for.
Isn't your own dearer than the
stranger?
Why not bring flowers, and gifts,
and the sweetest sentiment to your
own, whose interests are at one with
yours; whose heart is your own, whose
life is part of yours?
Why not bring offerings of love to
lay in the hands whose ministrati ons
are for you and whose caresses should
be only the more priceless and pre-
cious because of the sanctity of that
closest of all relationships?
People talk about "settling down
into the hum drum and stupidity Of
married life''. Why hum drum and
stupid because few years have pass
ed since the plighting of the mar
riage vows?
Why shouldn't your pulses thrill
now at the sound of your husbands
voice, at the touch of his hand, with
his kisses, even more than before
marriage? Why is he less the lover
because he is your husband?
Why do people marry, if it is to
become an old story SO soon?

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Photographs as Decorations-New Use
For Wall Paper-The Latest Bed
Couch-To Cloud a Glass.

Photographs can now be used for the
decoration of rooms, says the New York
Herald. Of course it has long been the
custom to display photographs promi-
nently in frames or on mantel shelves,
hut not until quite recently have they
been considered possibilities in actual
decoration by fashionable households.
Frames are being laid aside, and the
cards are tackled on the walls as they
are.
Everywhere on the walls of every
room except the parlor and dining room
(and even these apartments are not OK
empted nowadays in country houses)
are photographs to be found, the more
thing they must all be photographs of
people, not photographs of scenes or
amateur efforts, though a we'll taken
amateur group Or single picture is al
lowabIe. The fashion,, however, is the
lavish displaying of individual por
traits, and it is the plan of the day to
empty each album, each box and each
case and tack up their contents.
These pictures, however, must not be
put on the walls indiscriminately. They
must be arranged in patterns set in the
walls in Wheels stars or some design Of
that nature Brass headed tacks of
small size are to be used, and the varied
effects that may be shown in house
are indicative of the degree of artistic
taste of the member of the family who
has superinteHded the decoration

lambrequins for the windows and doors
of room. A recently completed suit of
rooms shows examples of this idea in
styles appropriate to the decorative fea-
lures of EACH apartment No poles are
used, and the continued lineof wall pat
tern across the window and door open
ings is singularly appropriate and eff
fective.
The practical part of the work is sim
pie enough. The wall paper is pasted to
cheesecloth Or sheeting and cut out to
the desired shape, the trimming being
futing or ruching of the same stuff,
with pipes Or jabots at discretion. The
cornices of light pine are covered with
cloth lined paper, and are given a touch
of ornamentation by the use of ruching
similar to chat trimming the vallances.
Long curtains of Singapore lattice, Cal
cutta net or colonial muslin are hung
on light rods inside the cornices, and
may be drawn aside without interfer-
ing with the draped effect. These win
dow and door headings are easily kept
clean and may remain in place when
the lower curtains or portieres are re-
moved for the summer
Why the ingenious idea has not &C.
CURED to any one before, in view Of the
recurring difficulty of obtaining fabrics
which go with wall papers, is matter
to be wondered at, but it's simplicity
and appropriateness are sure to make it
popular now that it has been discover
ed and put IN practicable shape.-New

the Hawaiian railroad, in the island OF

two roads are used principally to carry

various points OF shipment The prin-
cipal road in these islands is the Oahu
Railway and Land Company line. which
runs from Honolulu to waianae. the to-
tai length, including sidings. being 3S.5

fic July l. 1890, since which time It's

flc. Last year the road carried 8I.5e6
passengers, receiving a revenue Of $780,
993.50; 66.430.49 tons of freight were car
ried. earning $6s,752.76 The equipment
consists OF locomotives. II passenger
coaches and 1872 freight cars. The road
is bonded for $2,000.000 at per cent.
with $500, 900 worth OF stock. which is to
be increased to $l.500,0 900.
At present Hawaii has to import al
most everything she uses. having been
heretofore entirely taken up with the
raising of sugar. the entire crop OF
which comes to the United States. The
United States in 1896 took 1864 per cent
OF her exports and sold her 1927 Of all
imports. The desire Is that everything
should go from the United States. The
reason more goods have not been bought
from the United States was because the
tariff only averages 10 per cent. which
is not discrimination enough on some
articles. -
