THE LOBSTER AS A FENCER.
Surprising Agility of the LARGE OneI
in EvadinS the CAT of =
the Hunter.

That fencing is a pastime among
Holsters l have no doubt, from some
little experiences 1 have had with
them. says a writer in Contemporary
Review. Once l found q lobster near
low water in a pool some nine feet
long by six wide. having a rough bot
tom and eight or ten inches of water
on it with a ave at each end. Al
though l was armed with a crab-crook
or iron gait about three feet long. the
extreme darting and fencing of the
lobster were too much for me to Crap
pie with. When in the deeper cavern
l found it could see me through the
water as plainly as | could see it: sc
that here the better constructed eyes
of the genus homo had no advantage
over the rough hard stalk eyes of the
crustacean; and as l could not get
to gaff across it. every effort l made
was evaded; at last. however. by mere
vigorous and energetic gazing Imade
the cavern so uncomfortable for the
lobsterthatlike a lightning flashitdart-
ed between my legs and into the lesser
cavern. Here the same game went IN
and with like results; for in a moment
he was again between my legs and
back into his old haunt. Finally be-
coming tired of gaffing and missing
(for its fencing was perfect and could
not have been achieved without long
practice) 1 declined to be beaten by
a mere crustacean and proceeded &c
bail out the pool. 1t was only by this
effort that l eventually conquered it

PAINTED FURNITURE AGAIN.
"eappenrnnc OF an Old style That
Was Popular Thirty Years
Ago.

The painted furniture formerly de-
fcrlbed as cottage sets passed ont

up all trace of its quality.

Cottage furniture was always sold in

1t was very cordially despised. after

Similar improvements that came dur
Ing the past score of years. The cot

residences, servants rooms and other
inconspicuous places. Since that time
painted furniture has not been seen
until the white enameled chests of
drawers and other wooden pieces be-
gan to be seen. Now there are signs
that the days of painted furniture
may return, although it is not like
iy that the taste for it will ever be
strong enough to recover the slight
est favor for the cottage sets.
Painted furniture of the day is
very much more artistic and elaborate
than its predecessor ever was. 1t is
as expensive. too. as nearly any other

trained artists can give them. There
is as much difference between them
and the old painted pieces as there is
between a crude chrome and a deli
cate water color.
Probably this same degree of diff
ference exists between all articles
popular for household decoration 30
years ago and to-day. The oid-fash-
toned cottage furniture seems to have
disappeared altogether and never
likely to reappear in any form. But
its direct descendant. very much bet

more expensive. is offered to-day by
the large furniture establishments as
one of their latest and smartest
styles.

THE USE OF COLOR.
Good Taste in This Respect Is nm In
dIcation of Genuine Re-
finement.

Not everyone is gifted with artistic
taste in the use of color in dress oE
in household decoration, but everyone
can study these matters and arrange
their surroundings so that they may
not offend the cultivated eye. 1t does
not require wealth to do this, SAYS the
New York Tribune. On the contrary
the possession of wealth and the love
OF display do more to create hIdeouS
dresses and hideous houses than
squalid poverty. Nature throws a Ger:
tain veil of beauty in a tracery of green
vines. even in the humble weeds that
grow up to shield the neglected house
from the brazen glare of publicity.
The poorest maiden who by force OF
poverty is compelled to wear simple
dresses is far less likely to offend the
laws of good taste in the use of color
than the aspiring but ignorant girl
with ample means. who loads down
her person with snowy, expensive
finery. These latter are the women
who offend glaringly in the use OF
color. The plain working gown of
many a woman is picturesque, while
her best dress" is utterly absurd.
such as no artist could put in a picture.
Many an artist in search of the pic
turesque has found it almost impos-
sible to get Il model who had not been
accustomed to posing to pose in her
simple dress. On all occasions they re-
fused to undergo the indignity of be-
ing painted in anything but a best
dress" as absurd as it was snowy.
The idea seems to be ingrained in the
average ignorant woman that an at
tempt, however absurd and foolish, &c
dress beyond her means c~onfers digni-
ty. \ woman shows her genuine re.
finement, on the contrary, by dressing
