There is no color so valuable in
decoration as blue, nor one from which
so many schemes may be evolved,
For a sunny room blue may be used
entirely, as far as wallpapers, carpets
or draperies are concerned, OF blue
and green. A blue and green room
looks best with green stained furni-
ture, and is more appropriate for
library or bedroom, but as this furni,
ture is found sometimes in dining.
rooms and halls it may be used there
also.
An artistic though inexpensive din.
ing.room for a small house can be
we'll carried out in blue and green. As
there will be but little space the walls
may be painted in pale blue, and the
woodwork should be in deeper shade.
A square of blue carpet should cover
the floor, and the window curtains
should be of a bright shade OF green.
A nice suit of green stained and red
seated furniture. consisting of side
board, table, two armchairs aud four
small chairs can be bought at q mod.
crate price, and these with some blue
and white ornaments will look effec-
tive.

From Washington
How a LIttIe poY.Was Sawed.

Washington, D. G. when our boy
was about l6 months old he broke out
SSith & rash which was thought to be
measles. In a few days ho had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered
salye. He wanted to laAce the sore.
but I would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l decided to give
it to my boy and in short while his
health improved and his neck healed
so nicely that 1 stopped giving him the
medicine. The sore broke out again,
however, whereupon again gave him
Hoods SArsaparilla aud its persistent
use has accomplished complete

Some notion Of the power possessed
by the Beers may be gathered from
the statement that Dr. Leyds, the
Transvaal agent in Europe, is given
$S,O0OOOO per annum to spend in his
work abroad. 1t appears that the i'm
mense quantity of barbed wire pur-
chased to "fence the Netherlands rail-
way" in the republic was never intend
ed for such life-saving purpose. 1t is
being used now to stop the British
from advancing from their own terri

MY little tailor, Yang Tuch Kee
aud 1 do not think, in this remot,
quarter OF the world, he will be be-.
grudged This small gratuitous adver.
tisement, was slender little man,
very kind and gentle, scrupulously
honest and wonderfully clever. Hs
made a gown for me of beautiful
erinky white and china silk copying
the skirt from one model and the
waist from another He was given an
old pattern, and with one "trying on"
the dress was sent home complete,
beautifully finished aud with not an
alteration to be made. He charged
50. % for his work, the material and
Innings, all of which he furnished.
bringing up the cost of the gown to a
little less than S9-gold, as it is al.
ways necessary to specify here. He
removed the lining Of q mantle and
remade and refined the hood, charg.
ing for this ST. For another customer
he copied accurately pair of cOrsets
for which she had paid $25, the article
returned to her being of whito satin
and its accompanying bill SO.
1t had been impossible to find a
decent straw hat in any of the foreign
shops in Shanghai, aud / asked him
Sf he could make me one, showing him
the battered rim that 1 bought in New
York, a preparation of wood that was
sold as "chip," and which, worn half
dozen times, turned yellow and
crumbled TO pieces. Yang ruch Kee
looked at it, not in the least disheart
eued by the task 1 had set him, and
said with o smile that was literally
"child like aud bland, "Oh, yes, /
make him, all samee as this" and ho
marched off with his apidated
model. In the course of few days
ho brought back the one he had made
"A beautiful soft fine straw, like the
old-fashioned Dunstable braid Of our
grandmothers. 1t was so tough aud
flexible that nothing could break it
except some sharp instrument, and it
could safely have been warranted to
wear for years. For this hat of a
quality that would have cost four dol
lars in New York my little versatile
tailor charged me seventy-hve cents.
"Did you make it yourself, YungP"
I asked.
"No; cousin in Chufoo makee him, 4"
he replied, bringing forward the in.
evtable cousin-the infallible, omni-
present Chinese Deus ex machina.
And as the tailors came from the
South, I then learned that the straw
braiders are a product of Chufoo; the
silk growers and cotton growers from
Canbar, the tea raisers from the mid
die districts, and the wood carYers
from Ningpo, as have already said.

Am Enlsode In Iloerdo1n.

An Afrikander, trekking FROM
Schuin's Hoogte to Palapsie with 3
load of biltong halted by fontein al
the foot Of q kloof. A Voortrekkel
suddenly appeared from behind q
kopje, waving n vierkleur.
"Oorlog" shouted the Voortrekker,

was a man OF ready wit.
Produce it, 4" said the Voortrekker,
Though am no dopper.
The Afrikander's voorlooper, who
was standing on the disselboom
munching mealies, jumped off aud
started on a run toward a krantz. In
jumping q SLUT his foot slipped on a
kip and he fell into q donga. The
others, after much dop, got into a
heated argument in Taal over the
quickest way to the nearest dorp.
Ono said he should take the drift
over the spruit, and the other that he
should pont over the pan. A carp
came along and took them both
around she viel and through the poort
to the lager, where they should be
safe from rOoineks.--New York Sun.

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaohian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when IL Is entirely closed
Deafness is the result and unless the inham-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by oatarrh, whic h Is nothing but in.

Frances Willard's Empty Poeketbook.
It was characteristics of the late
Frances Willard that she never had
any money. Miss Gordon attended
20 her finances, and it was found on
fhe whole best TO leave Miss Wizards
puroe empty, becluse if she started
ont in the morning with full pocket
book she came back penniess in the
evening. One night she told in her
inimitabe way Of having gone to Chi
cago, and reached Rest Cottage again
on the capital OF postage stamp.
At the station she turned her pockets
out, but not bit Of change was to be
found. She had forgotten all about
it. "What am ] to do about it?" she
asked the agent, perplexedy. Gamma

conrenIent Book woIghts.

Nothing harms a handsomely bound
book more quickly than to "stsnd ON
n strain. When placed in this un.
gainly position on the book shelves
intended to stand upright, but lean
ing crookedly to one side because Of
extra space-the binding soon be-
comes loosened, and the volume takes
on a look of want of care. Extra
volumes to fill in the space and keep
each book in firm, upright position,
cannot always be had, and it is then
werealize the advantage of the book
weight.
These book weights are among the
latest ideas in library conveniencos.
They arc intended TO stand on the
shelves or desks at the ends of rows of
books. They come in various forms
and styles-triangular, cube, octagon
and wedge shape.
Everyone who has ever attempted
to set n row of books upon a shelf or
table will realize the convenience of
articles Of this sort. Square blocks
OF granite, marble or agate are always
useful. Blocks of onyx framed in
silver are very handsome, and the
plain blocks of onyx are also used,
but these prove rather expensive, and
no more convenient than the cheaper
weights.
With so many oonveniences for
book marking and binding and hold
ing in proper positions when stored
upon the shelves there is no rea-
son why the book-lover should not
own q fine collection of the works Of
faYorite authors and keep them in at
tractive form at very slight expense.

A Long Time Ont.

"The revenue cutters of the United
States, as you may know" said an
officer of one Of them, who likes his
little Joke, "confne their services,
which are really invaluable TO the
Government, to the coast and it is a
rare thing indeed for any one Of them,
except those of the Bering Sea patrol,
to venture any distance out to sea.
Nor is this rule an unsatisfactory one,
for, say what you please about it, sea
service is not as pleasant 40 tho novel
lists and other romancers would have
you believe. Indeed, the sailor who
prefers the bounding pillows, a wet
sheet aud flowing sea and all the
rest of it to calm and peaceful shore
snap is the exception. But I am get.
ting off of my story, which applies to
the cutter Grant, when she was doing
duty in New York Bay and vicinity.
Something had happened to call her
out down the shore somewhere, and
she left the bay one afternoon, and
early the next morning, while she was
bowling along at about seven knots
au hour, she hailed big -four. master.
"What ship is that?" came the
cry from the Grant
"The Royal Bengal Tiger, two
hundred and forty-three days out
from Calcutta," came the reply.
"What ship is that?"

plaintiye answer, and we've been out
