Should Be Carefully Studied In Furnish
ing Various Rooms.
There are room in some houses that
produce a sense of irritation on nerve
and brain on those who are sensitive to
color, so crude and harsh and Earring
are the arrangements of the same. Go
into another room in some other house,
where all the colors soothe and delight,
and you will find soft olives and dull
blue and blue-greens, having an indie
scribably gentle influence. The blue
green or olive prevails in the carpet,
the ground being deep blue and the all
over pattern soft olive and dull blue.
The olive prevails in the long curtains,
and takes ON rather golden tone, while
the sash curtains are entirely of the
softest dull blue India silk, trimmed
with tassel braid to match. The Hol-
land shades are in ecru. There is an
absence of conspicuous figures, pattern
and ground. A bit of pale rose or
yellow, Or old gold, OF dull red, may be
used in such a room An old fan, for
example, ornamented with a bow Of
pale rose satin and displayed against
a light olive wall, tells for much more
than against a wall Powered or fig

The Illinois state fair grounds have
the reputation of being the most beau
tiful and complete of any similar show
grounds in the world, and a visit to
them fully justifies this high standing.
With the magnificent dome which dis
tinguished the famous horticultural
building at the Worlds Fair from all
The other buildings, as the center piece
in the field of noble buildings at
Springfield, the difficulty of maintain
ing this example of architecture has
been readily surmounted in the on
struction of the great buildings which
flank it on either side, and the grand
stand, barns and sheds, which for
completeness, comfort and convent
ence, are not to be excelled anywhere.
The great fair which is to begin the
last Monday in September is now alb
sorbing the attention of the state
board of agriculture and a host of
artisans and laborers. Secretary Gar
rard, although famed through an acct
dent, is vigilantly looking after a null
titude Of interests; and promises that
the fair for 1899 is to be in very truth
''the greatest show on EARTH"

From the New York Herald: How
Mr.. Mckinley aided and abetted in the
stealing of one mackerel is q story that
has come out since the presidents com

Abn and Mr.. Jordan were trying a.

remarked that he would like to take
a fresh mackerel home to Mrs. McKin-
ley, who is fond of that fish. Their
drive brought them past the Elberon

be had there. They visited half a
dozen different places without

We commonly refer the cave dwell
ers to prehistoric times, but there
are still some of these people in parts
OF Europe that are considered civiliz-
ed. Their primitive dwellings are, in
some cases, natural caves, and in 9TH
ers have been hewn out of the rocks.
Some of these homes in Spain are de-
scribed by a writer. He says: There
is no need of an aims house in Alcala.
One side of the hill above the town is
h~oney-combed with caves, which are
used by the poor as dwellings, free of
rent and taxes. These caves run in
tiers, with paths between them, and
before each is a garden in which grow
the prickly pear, fig, villas, maize and
vegetables. The combination of rock
and foliage gives the whole hillside
that singular appearance of rocky
fertility seen only in southern lands,
and particularly in the presence of
cactus growth. The people seemed
quite as comfortably situated as many
who lived in houses, and in general
appearance the aims house hill of Alca-
la vas more attractive than the gypsy
quarter of Granada. Doubtless these
caves have the advantage over ordi-
nary houses of being warmer in win
ter and cooler in summer"

Pocket directories containing names
and data concerning the small towns
of the country are now, it is said, part
of the equipment of every Chicago con-
fiderce man and are of material value
in rounding up the rural visitor. 1t is
now in order for some enterprising
publisher to get up a directory of con-
fdence men, with full descriptions and
other information, and circulate the
same through all the rural communi-
ties.

The End of tho Seam,

The best way to fasten the thread at,
the end of a sewing machine scam Is
to turn back on the seam just sewn
and stitch for half an inch or more;
then You can cut the thread and not
stop to tie, which takes a great deal Of
time and is absolutely necessary II you
would not have your thread ripping
out all the time.

A monster eel has been found dead
in Hempston Leaf, one of the Dart
tributaries of England, it having ap-
parently been choked by a water rat it
had tried to swallow, and which was
partly protruding from it's mouth. The
eel also contained a young moor hen.
In trying to swallow botn bird and rat
the eel lost his life.

1t was in the early seventies that the
rage for elaborate floral displays be-
gan. The late Sir Edward Scott star
tied London by telling his florists to
use as many flowers as they wanted to
In decorating his house for a ball. The
florists were delighted to obey and the
result kept London talking for
months.
The Marquis of Bristol followed with
a dance, and the ballroom was decor
ated to initiate the hanging gardens Of
Babylon, no less than six tons of ivy
being used to make the walls look cas-
tellated.
Another Englishman, Gerald Lehigh,
spent $4,000 on flowers for one enter
talnment, and Lady Sutton promptly
gave $4,000 to her florists to Guido
him.
The late Colonel North of England,
who was a princely entertainer, gave
D fancy dress ball ten years ago, and
1000 lily of the valley plants were
brought from Italy and Florence to
decorate the rooms.
When Consuelo Vanderbilt married
the Duke of Marlborough the e~xtrava-
gance of flowers was talked of in two
continents. At a private banquet in
Washington two years ago two i'm
mense balls of roses were arranged to
break over the table, and thousands Of
r%osebuds, orange blossoms and lilies
were showered on the guests.
A very prominent New York woman
gave a ball to i~naugurate her new
house, and over the walls of the dane
ing room had a light screen built, and
pale yellow roses completely covered
the screen. During the evening 300
blackbirds were set free, and as they
flew past the walls of yellow roses a
unique color scheme was produced.

mestic crop conditions showed big Inn

else influenced for the time being the
action OF the market. Rains In the
northwest had ceased and the weather
was reported Ideal for the crop. AS n
