The Reunion Of 1899.
READ AT CHESTERTOWN, ND, JUNE 18TH,

CRATIC EDITORS ASsOCIA-
TION

The duty of writing sketch of the
amphibious junkct of this association
has been assigned to me by our most
worthy President, who, OF, all former
occasions, has shown such quick per-
ception and displayed such foresight
in adding to the efficiency and pleasure
of the aggregation of scrbes who honor
him as their chief In the selection of
myself to write up the excursion OF
1899 he has made mistake, there
being so many of his editorial associ-
ates who are much more capable to do
Justice to an occasion which, from its
nature, requires a reader pen and
liveler imagination than mine to deal
with properly. However, am sure,
my editorial friends will make due al
lowance for all deficiencies in the fol-
lowing rough and uneven description
of what was most Delightfully."- smooth
and exceptionally interesting pilgrim
age. With this salutatory I'll try and
outline our journey.

time was given the scribcs to collect

or merctricious. 1t is the Swiss Vii
lage. 1t is the countcr-charm and
antithesis of the Paris exposition.
You pay your franc Or halffranc, |
forgot which, for as the representative
of your paper get in free-you enter
gate and turn corner and you are
: instantly translated from big roaring
Paris with her painfully dazzling ex-
position into the heart of Switzerland
I mean the very heart and soul OF
Switzerland, for here it is. Can it
be illusion, No, for that is actual
water falling in cascade from the
mountain side, quite stream too,
for it turns the wheel of an old mill in
the edge Of the village. There are
actual COWS and goats. There are
stables with the Swiss characteristic
of taking better care of the manure
than of anything else. Here are dozen
OF more small, tidy old houses just as
YOU will see them in Switzerland and,
perched upon the side of the noun
tain on patch of actual green grass
are chalets with overhanging cliffs
just as you have seen them in that
most picturesque Of lands. You rub
your eyes and look for Paris but you
can see nothing but the village sur
rounded by high precipices which shut
out everything but the sky and this
charming scene. There are Swiss
peasants, Swiss girls i'll the costume
of their country, ducks in the brook,
green grass, wild flowers, weeds and
edelweiss. All this is done on little
more than an acre, | think, and is the
cleverest piece of work | ever saw. Of
course its sequestration and beauty Is
greatly heightened by contrast with
the roaring world without. \ GU hear
the Alpine horn and yodle and there
is a cave near the cascade which falls
from the mountain side. \ on enter
to find a wild subterraneao way and
ascending you come out upon the
mountain top and see thousands OF ieet
below you the valley OF Interlaken,
the cascade of Lauteobrunen and about
you the Jungfrau, Interlaken, and the
country about Berne. This part is a
panorama and is good in its way. The
Swiss village far surpasses Old Paris,
Old Pienna, Old Cairo, or "any old
thing" of the exposition.

Fumed Oak Is the Last Novelty and

pewter trimmings is the newest thing in
house decoration. Every woman who is
doing over the bed rooms especially, finds
it a desperate struggle to decide between
the lovely furniture made Of wood colored
by a process of artificial staining and
seasoning and the colonial mahogany.
Both are equally good in s,yle. but the
oak is less costly and exceedingly novel
and good in its decorative effects while
genuine old Georgian mahogany is getting

as costly. The situation, therefore, is
promising for the future of this new
wooden bedroom furniture that is not only
novel in its material and shape, but also
in its decoration.
Fumed oak is never carved, but inlaid
instead, and so beautifully is 1t dyed.

of good taste is the excellent lines on
which it is made. The most severe Jaco-

chair table and bed making, and instead
of the decoration laid upon the surface,
