Teranda Furniture.

Wicker or willow, bamboo or rattan
holds tho first choice for verandas, not
on account of its lightness, but be =
cause moisture will not hurt it. The
dampness that is the result OF heavy
night mists does it no harm, and it
does not suffer even from good wet
ting. The shapes in which such
furniture comes are of almost endless
variety. Long settees aud short ones.
deep chairs that must be piled
with cushions to be the acme OF COM
fort, low rockers, great Sleepy Hol-
lows, chairs with pockets for news
papers or work, chairs with rack for
a book OF o writing tablet-there is
no end to them, and they come in all
colors. One may take them in the
natural tint, in dark green, IN bright
red, in soft gray, in brilliant brown.
One of the best shapes Of chair for all
invalid or for any one who fears
draughts, has q low seat with @ high
hooked back, which protects alike
from rain or sun. Inside, the chair
is fitted with pockets that will hold
papers, letters or light literature-an
ideal summer cozy.corner for the old
or delicate member Of the family.
The cushions that make the chairs
and touches luxurious may be taken
in at night with the rugs that should
carpet the floor Of this summer par
lor, -Harper's Bazaar.

Daway,s Chinese Servant.

Admiral Dewey's body servant, who
moved with him from the flagship
OLYMPIA to his new home presented TO
him last autumn in Washington, IS All
Nav, the Chinese boy. All Nav is an
interesting character, and about as
bright and shrewd Chinaman as one
ever meets. He is an enlisted sailor IN
the United States navy, and is tenn
porarily detailed for duty with the ad-
miral. He speaks English with re-
markable clearness and fluency, is good
natured TO an unusual degree, and il
perfectly devoted to his gallant mas
ter. All Nav has sole charge OF Adj
miral Dewey's wardrobe, lays out his
clothes to be worn each morning and
keeps the admirals trousers pressed
and creased. AS Admiral Dewey Is
exceedingly fastidious about his wear
ing apparel the duties of All Haw in
this respect are quite exacting. In
a short time the Chinese servant is to
return to his native country. He is OF
a saving disposition and has accumu-
lated a snug fortune, which he is anx-
ious to invest in China.

A MurLerous Gam.

Prof. Charles Oman of Oxford, the
English historian and military critic,
enjoys playing the German martial
game known as "kriegspiel." The
game involves the use of regular map
with counters, representing infantry,
cavalry and artillery, and is supposed
to have great educational value in the
learning of tactics and strategy. The
doctor played with great regularity,
sometimes alone and sometimes with
friends. In both cases he would use
sapguinary terms commenting upon
the various movements. 1t seems he
was overheard by a housemaid, who,
after listening a number of times, went
in fear and trembling to the door
keeper. "Lor', ma am" she said, the
gentleman is mad with too many
books, and is contemplating murder
or suicide. He sits at the table all day
long sticking blackhead pins into a
sheet of paper, saying to himself in a
-blooded way, Here I'll have to
kill a hundred, and there I'll drown
fifty. I'll do some shooting there, and
I'll cut them all to pieces with horses
over yonder' / think it is your duty,
maam to send for stright-jacket or
the aolice."

is the oxygen Immediately surround,

the vent OF the top ofthe chimney be-

escape in that way, and so remains
around the fame, thus preventing a
fresh supply of oxygen from reaching

A START IN THE LAW.
what Hitting Mule Over the Hoad
Had to Do with Making Lawyer.

Illustrating what trifllng incident
can influence mans whole career, 1t
is told of Judge William Lindsay, who
is now United States senator from
Kentucky, that when young man
still in his teens he was blowing in
his fathers field which was near a
cross roads store where a dozen or
more men usually cOngregated. Young
Lindsay and the mule he was working
to the pillow did not "gee" well, and
finally in trying to turn the mule
around at the far side of the field
worse Misunderstanding than usual
occurred. The mule turned square
around and started back over the ploW
right at Lindsay, who grabbed piece
CT fence rail and hit his big-eared sery-
ant terrific jolt above the eye. The
mule fell dead. Lindsay looked at the
dead mule and then at the crowd
across the field at the store. He saw
the men had witnessed his killing 81
the mule and he started at full run 10
the store. When he reached there, al
most out of breath, he exclaimed:
Gentlemen, l killed the mule, but l
did it in self-defense." by lingo,
Bill, you ought to be lawyer, said
one of the men, "for anybody who can
think of a plea of that sort on the
spur of the moment would make
good one" That suggestion stuck in
young Lindsay's mind-he did study
law, became chief justice of Kentucky
and one of the greatest lawyers they
ever had. In 1896, when Lindsay, as
senator, deserted his party on the sill
yer ISSUE one of his old friends who
knew of the mule incident, and who
was angry at Lindsay for his course,
said: Say, boys, amt it pity that
Lindsay killed that mule?"-Cincinnati

QUAIL HUNTING IN EGYPT.
A Million q Year Are Ensnarcd by Il
Natives by Ingenious Methods.


Natives by Ingenious Methods.
Much has been said lately of the cap
ture of quail in Egypt, touching the
protest made by Frenchmen against
carrying the birds across French ter
ritory for English use. Until this mat
ter rose nobody seemed to know that
quail existed in Egypt; but they do-by
the million. The passage OF bands OF
quail over the coast Of the delta of the
Nile, from Port Said to Alexandria, be-
gins in September and last a month
and a half, the birds arriving in little
groups and alightirg on the dunes.
Generally, the chase is made by means
of nets of five meters high, which the
natives extend on cords fastened 10
poles, in the fashion of curtains GID
ing on their rods. In reality the net
is double. The first near the side or
the sea is of meshes very large ana
loose. but on the back is another net
where the bird will really come and
perch itself in the folds formed by this
second net of small meshes. There Is
another method of capture which is
more picturesque. Rows OF dried
branches are placed on the shore. Al
the foot of each branch is disposed
tuft of fresh herbs in the middle OF
which is arranged an opening which
ends in a snare. The quail, tined by
it's journey, takes refuge il the
branch, then in the bunch Of herbs,
naturally, without figuring to itself
that it is going to put itself into trap
where a native will surprise it ana kill
it. With these perfected means OF
destruction, it is not astonishing that
each year more than half million d
these poor little birds are taken.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

since the first lighthouse was erected
at Lowestoft, and this is noted as the
first regular lighthouse en- the coasts
of Great Britain. The next lighthouse
to be erected was in Winterton. in
1916. Lowestoft has had, moreover,
the unique distinction of possessing the
first lifeboat. 1t was in 1909, just 200
years after the first lighthouse was
built there, that the first lifeboat was
dispatched on her initial errand OF

Decorating For Receptions.

Whether the decorations be few OF
many, let the position of every spray
of flowers OF greens, every ribbon
streamer, every strip of bunting, be
considered not only individually, but
in connection with the entire scheme
of decoration. Generally speaking,
if but little material for decoration is
to be used it is better to concentrate
it in one effective mass than to make
it extend over so large q space that no
part of it can be made effective. Thus
the flowers may all be given to the
large table, the smaller ones simply
having the fronds Of hardy ferns scat
tered over the cloths. This will give
q much better effect than meagcr
bunch Of flowers on each table. These
hardy ferns can usually be procured
at the florists for about five cents a
bunch of one hundred fronds. If no
flowers ct all are used there are great
decorative possibilities i'll these ferns
alone. Carrying out the same idea
in other decorations, it would seem
better to mass the ribbons aud bunt'
ing OF flags in one handsome group
ing over window at the end of the
room, or about the rostrum, than to
so scatter them that the meagerness
of the quantity would of itself attract
attention. One of the most attractive
of decorations was seen in church
vestry, over whose window ivy was
trained. The nearest approach tc
this could be made with trailing
green's 1nez Redding, in the Wom
ans Home Companion.

needlessly; their conscience is a ty-

leads a person to anxious, ceaseless &C

unconscious nerve tension. They say
thew have no time to rest, they have SO
