New Idea That VIII BE Welcomed In
Every Household
A new table is being shown in the
swell furniture stores which could cas-
lily be duplicated in less expensive n1a-
terials and placed in more than one
room in the house! We all know how
photographs accumulate and how hard
it is to keep them from dust and also
from fading. This table is designed
especially for photographs and welt fill
a long-felt want, 1t is about as large
as the old-fashioned work table, and,
like it,. has a top which opens, disclos-
ing a box inside which is divided into
compartments Of different sizes for the
reception of photographs. The top is
OF plated satin brocade, so arranged
that pictures can be poked in here and
there, and when opened the top forms
quite an ornamental background for
the faces of our friends. The imported
model. is very beautifully and expen-
sively upholstered in heavy Pompa-
dour brocade of an ecru color, DOW
dered with small flowers. In copying
this pretty invention for the preserya-
ton Of photographs cheaper wood can
be used, and the covering may be of
some inexpensive silk, cretonne or
plush. ,Es.T@5r lis as .y'%7 ..&s tss.

SUCCESS IN FICTION.

The Best Writers Are Those Who Re-
gard it as Their Chief Mission.
Mr.. James Bryce, who has achieved
fame as an essayist on economic prob
lens and as a political analyst, con-
templates devoting his pen to fiction,
says writer in the st. Louis Republic.
1t is not stated whether his motive is
amusement or profit. Perhaps it is
mixture Of both. If he achieves pop
ular applause, he will disclose YER
satility unsuspected by those who have
perused his efforts along the more
serious lines of litera ture. It1appears
that nearly all literary men at some
time in their lives have been attracted
toward the task Of making novels.
The tuneful and witty DR.. Holmes
yielded to the temptation,l and Lowell
was credited with aistrong hankering.
The erudite and didactic George Will
lam Curtis wrote one novel, and
showed the possession of conscien-
tious regard for the reading public by
not repeating the offense. Bayard
Taylor also invaded the field with
much promise of success, but wisely
concluded that the novelists' vocation
did not fit his talents. There have
been several noted writer's of English
who might have proved shining sue
cesses as novelists. Among them
might be classed the brilliant and
meteoric Macaulay, whose thrilling
prose and inspiring verse indicate the
possession of those qualities of narra-
ton and Imagination which ARE per-
|. haps the most effective weapons in the
armory of the novel writer. Yet,
Macaulay's ulster as a historian was
SO great that he might have dimmed
it by essaying fiction. Froude, who
was a master Of prose, failed in the do
main of novel writing The general
consensus of critics seems to- BE that,
while the novelist's faculty is not al
together denied to men great in other
departments Of literature, its best re-
wards come to- those who feel it to be
their chief mission.

That is, man with a small head can
not get to be president Of the United
States, nor can a real small man at
tain to that position: They have a
comparison OF the men who have been
presidents of our nation, consisting of
the relative size of their heads and
their respective weights, which goes to
show that they have been tall men and
that they have had large heads. Phren-
ologists also state that because a man
has a large head it is no reason to be-
Heve that he has an unusual amount of
brain power. But they say that he has
the best opportunity for development,
and he can cram more learning into
his head than the man with the smaller
head. People with thin heads are u.s.
ually ruled by the broad heads. The
.protuberance Immediately above and
behind the ears denotes executive force
and ability, and man with a narrow
head has little Of this power. The
best lawyers and statesmen have wide,

side of the top of the head, is we'll de-
ve1oped in these persons, so that it

generally tell whether man is refined
in his tastes by the width of his fore
head above the eyebrows. If he has a
good development above his eyes he is
a man who knows what is going on in
the world about him. You can tell a
mans generosity and his sympathetic
powers by the, size Of his head at the

determine something about his own es-

the right by knowing the exact size of

and his ability to make his way in the

Chicago Tribune: A Berlin earre-
@spondent sends an account Of q dake Of
sinhuman torture stated to- have taken
place in a Belgian ironworks in the
Caucasus. A sum of money having
disappeared from the safe, suspicion
fell on number of boys engaged at the
works, and the directors, not consid-
ering it necessary to inform the police,
had the lads imprisoned for three days,
keeping them entirely without food to
make them confess. No confession be-
ing obtained they were stripped and
beaten with sticks, after which their
eyelids were raised and holes pricked
through them with needles. The
screaming victims were then dashed
against the wall, and, as they fell,
again beaten with sticks about the
chest and stomach till they became in
sensible. Their tormentors soused
them with cold water till they regained
consciousness, and then began their
devilish work again. This time they
proceeded to extract some of their
teeth, and, as this was all of no avail,
to squeeze large stones into their
mouths, binding the lower jaw fast
with piece of leather, and then ham
mering their foreheads with the butt
end of revolver. Finally, the boys in
their agony lost all mastery over them
selves and acknowledged having stolen
the money. The police have now taken
the matter up.

me of a factory in my town whene rat
hesnakes' skins are employed quite ex-
5ensively for making vaSiety of belts,

is the only one offits Kind in theecoun-
try, is now doing" az thriving business
in goods made of this novel kind of
leather. The skins come to the factory
salted and with the: :hBnds off. Some
times the rattles ares still attached to
the tail. The skinsr are tanned and
prepared for use in the factory, where
the operation requires thirty days. The
curing process removes all the disa-
greeable odor peculiarrto the raw skin
and brings out the natural brightness
o. the black and yellow mottle to pei
fection. The supply of rattlesnake
skins is said to be practically mex
haustible. They come from the north
ern tier of Pennsylvania counties, from
the Lake George region, Colorado, Wy
oming and Michigan. The skins are
worth from Is cents to~$2 each, accord
ing to size, those of the black, or male
rattler being the most valuable. The
rattles are converted into scarf pins
and sold at fancy prices to people who
are fond of such curiosities.

IT am just now hard at work. said
New Orleans promoter, zen one Of
the biggest, brightest and most spec
.tacular enterprises of the present day.
1t originates with an extensiEe orange
grower of the lower coast. He suffered
severely by the freeze of Last season,
but he is man OF cast-ironsYill and
unlimited resources, and heIhas just
thought up a scheme to wreat the
spoils of winter from the clutch of ma
ture. No, that isn't quotation for
the prospectus, it's a simple modest
statement of fact. His proposition is
to take a number of bearing orange
trees and transplant them in cars es-
pecially prepared for their reception,
making up special trains of say twenty
cars apiece, which averaging six trees
each, to give them plenty of room, will
make 120 trees to the train. While
history does not record: a. successfon of
such severe winters as the last, still,
to be absolutely on the safe side, the
Intention is to keep the cars moving
Floridaward, to the extreme southern
point, and, by staying always in the
warm, zone,, positively insure the life
and productiveness of the plant: Trees
thus treated yield. double the usual
quantity. But that is not all. AS. soon
as the crop has reached maturity the
trains will be run north and the fruit
sold direct from the trees. How isgthat
for a large, meaty idea? Isn't it a.
1oo-loo?' Our Yankee friends, who
have never seen oranges growing on
anything except Christmas tree, will.
have fits of joy and fall over each other
to pluck the golden fruit at 50 cents:
per pluck. It will become fashion, a.
fad, rage! Oranges will enjoy the
biggest boom they have had since Nell
Gwynne peddled them in the stalls!
We will make boobies, barrels, small
hogsheads of money! We will become
rich beyond the dreams of avaricei We
will wrest the spoils of winter from
