WONDERFUL KNIVES.

There is knife at Sheffield which is
very remarkable. 1t is not longer than
a thumb nail, and yet contains go
blades.
One of the most wonderful knives in
existence has 1.S40 blades, all having
hinges and springs and closing into
the same handle.
At Windsor castle, among the royal
plate is knife which was prese nted by
the cu,lers of Sheffield to George ".
1t is remarkable as having more than
a hundred blades.
The cutters at Sheffield have knife
which is but an inch long when closed,
has 20 blades, beautifully made and
illustrating nearly all the forms ever
given to knife blades, Another speci-
men has 800 blades, all etched with
portraits, landscapes or other artistic
designs.
King Humbert of Italy possesses q
hunting knife the handle of which is
solid ivory, beautifully carved, and sur
mounted with The royal crown. Its
sheath is of pigskin, mounted in
massive silver chased to match the
knife, with the royal arms of Italy in
bold relief. The price Of the knife was
500, and the case cost another SIS.

CONCERNING YOUR FLOORS.

If it is preferred a hardwood floor
may be stained to correspond with the
walls or furniture in a room.
w. NJ. Roberts, of Red Springs, N. c.,
raised this year 17H bushels of wheat
on less than half an acre.
A tile or brick floor looks well in a
room furnished in Flemish style, but
only large houses can stand this
method of treatment.
In country houses very good idea
is to paint the floor and woodwork one
color, sharply contrasting with the
walls.
If the floor is of soft wood and car
pet is necessary, the effect may be inn
proved by laying few small rugs
down over the carpet to break the mo-
notony.
Give the floor covering beautiful
color, but beware of designs which are
confusing to the eye. AS a carpet or
rug must be walked on light color is
not suitable, something rich, deep
and cheerful being preferred.
Many people make the mistake of
beating the rugs which cover their
floors. AS rugs are never SO closely
woven as carpets they should only be
brushed or thoroughly swept. If care
is taken an ordinary rug will outwear
any carpet

TOYS OF MATRIMoNY.

An Atchison woman is not only a
poor cook and housekeeper, but she
does not laugh at her husbands jokes.
The popular idea of very sensible
woman is one who refuses to turn over
to her husband all the money she
earned before she married.
When there is company the boy OF
the family usually says something that
results in his mother giving him flag
raising as soon as the company has
gone.
An Atchison father says the only
time he gets front seat in a crowd is
when one of his daughters is married
to 25-cent young man and he does
not want good view.
If married man compliments a
pretty woman in the presence of his
wife his wife reproves him, and if the
wife is not present the pretty woman
thinks it her duty to reprove him.
A man doesn't feel that his territory
is being infrnged upon when some one
compliments his wife, but he does feel
that his rights are being usurped when
others than himself scold her.=Atchi-

MUSICAL NOTES.

Paderewski's next American tour
will begin in San Francisco in '99.
The number of musical performances
given in Berlin may be inferred from
the fact that in Bechstein hall alone
about 200 concerts were given last sea-
son.
Haydn, Beethoven and Mozart are to
have a monument in common in Ber-
lin. A committee is now considering
model submitted by Prof. Rudolf
Siemering.
Paul Gibson has written for the The
ater de la Monnaie, an opera in one act
and two scenes, yet unnamed. 1t is
based on liugo's "Legende des Siecles, :"
and Marie Brema will create the prin-
cipal part.
The Paris Grand Opera has an annual
subsidy of 100000, besides free house
and light, or "a value in all of about
$3.50, coo year. Nevertheless, the re-
cent report of the minister of fine arts
shows that there was loss on last
years performances.
Director Mailer, of the Vienna I'm
perial opera, has done two things late
ly that have added much to his already
great popularity among musicians and
music lovers. He has increased the pay
of his orchestra and chorus 20 per cent,
and reduced the price of seats 25 per
cent.

CHINA REFUSES A DEMAND
Russia Asked "a Railway Con-
cession Into Pekin.,
0ELEsT1ALs GREATLY AG1TATBD
Not Since the Occupation Of Port Arthur
Has Any Event Caused 30 Much
i .sss sssss - aassnsatioa. 4ss5.sss,g

SHANGHAI, May 15.-The tsung-li.
yamen (Chineso foreign of3ce) has re.
piled to the Russian minister at Pekin,
N. dc Giers. that the government 10 un-
able to accede to the Russian demand
made last Wednesday for : new rail-
way concession connecting Pekin with
Russia's present system in Manchuria.
Not since the taking of Port Arthur by
Russia have tho Chinese been 30 sgi.
tated as over this demand. Whether
NJ. de Giers named specific route ia
not yet obtainable, some officials stat
ing that only preliminary notice was
given by Russia and others that she ID
asking for line direct from Pekin to
Shan.Hai-Kwon.
Certainly the British legation in Pc.
kin had no previous knowledge that
such q proposal was coming from st.
Petersburg. The concession asked fol
would ruin the existing northern rail-
ways in which British capital to- the
amount of 1900, 100 is invested, but
there seems to be no alternative route
without interfering with plans for rail
way extension which the Chinese them
selves have in mind.
