An Old style Reappears i'm House.
hold Garniture stores.
The painted furniture formerly described
as cottage sets" passed out of style more
than score OF years ago. It was al
ways looked upon as a rather economical and
modest substitute for the black walnut and
carved set. or even the more costly rose
wood. which was in those days the last
word In modish and expensive furniture. The
cottage furniture could be of cheaper wood,
because the thick paint covered up all trace
of it's quality.
Gloomy grays, dull greens and steely
blues were the tints most admired in this
old fashioned furniture. The backgrounds
were relieved by crudely painted punches
so intrinsically hideous could be said to
have that effect anywhere, the head and
foot OF the beds and were applied in more
c1minutive form to the bureaus and other
pieces In the set. Cottage furniture was
always sold in a set
1t was very cordially despised. after taste
turned toward the antique wooden furni-
ture. brass beds and all the similar l.n-
provements that came during the past score
OF years. The cottage sets were RELOCATED
to country residences, servants rooms and
other inconspicuous places. Since that
time painted furniture has not been seen
until the white enamelled chests of draw
pear. Now there are signs that the days
OF painted furniture may return, although
1t Is not likely that the taste for 1t will
ever be strong enough to recover the slight
est favor for the cottage sets.
Painted furniture of the day Is very mucn
more artistic and elaborate than it's prede-
cessor ever was. 1t is as expensive too,
as nearly any other kind. and would never
be bought for economy. White is the
mcst popular color for background. 1t
is decorated with sprays Of flowers, very
artistically and charmingly disposed and
painted. indeed. with all the excellences that
the most modern and best trained artists
can give them, and the old painted pieces
as there is between q crude chrome and
a delicate water color
Probably this same degree of difference
exists between all articles popular for house,
hold decoration 30 years ago, and today
the old fashioned cottage furniture seems
to have disappeared altogether and never
likely to reappear In any form. But its
direct descendant, very much bettered and
undoubtedly made much more expensive, is
offered today by the large furniture estab-
lishments as one of their latest and smart
est styles.

FIsH-EATING BIRDS.

suggestions for Picmfcs,


A successful picnic must have a good
manager-one who will see that pro-
vision is made for the necessities of the
excursion, and not leave them to chance.
The spot selected should be near
enough to dwelling house to obtain
cold water, unless there is a spring near
by, or one can manage to carry this in
bottles.
II coffee is to be made or fish fried,
cooking utensils must be taken, also
cups and saucers, unless these can be
obtained at the dwelling house; In the
latter case this should be arranged for
beforehand, or by interview, that one
may be certain of them at the time de-
sired. An old tablecloth and some pa
per napkins will add much to the COM
fort of the lunch.
A plentiful supply OF pickles or olives,
with lemons and sugar to make lemon
ads, is a wise provision, and cold coffee
prepared with sugar and cream. and
cold tea with lemon and sugar is sure
to be enjoyed by many OF the party.
and can be safely carried in fruit jars,
II carefully packed. For those who are
dependent upon hot tea, one of the
pocket alcohol lamps will be convenient
for preparing 1t, II fire may not be
built.
For sweets tumblers of jelly and mar
malades are appetizing with biscuits and
fresh fruit will be found very grateful.
Avoid cake and pie, as they are apt to
arrive in a mussy condition.

A 4tA % J1ly Danger. !


It seems q pity that some way 81
celebrating the Fourth Of July cannot
be found that will give the youngsters
- much, pleasure as the present noisy
proceedings furnish, without Ill the suf-
fering and loss Of life which these noisy
proceedings always entail. The Chi
cago Tribune, last July. published some
figures gathered by its correspondents
throughout the country. which figures
showed loss OF al lives as result OF
the celebration OF the Fourth. A good
many battles are fought with no greater
mortality than that
OF these 141 deaths SO were from
lockjaw.
The disease is caused by a germ
which exists in the soil in many parts
OF the country, and which develops rap
idly when introduced into wounds. It
requires peculiar conditions for its
growth, however. One Of these is that
the air shall not have free access to it.
There is very little danger Of lock-
jaw, therefore, in a clean-cut, open
wound, and, as ~ rule, it is only deep
and jagged wounds that are followed by
the disease. 81
Wounds Vt this kind are produced by
stepping on nails or splinters of wood
by crushing injuries, and especially by
Fourth of July casualties caused by the
toy pistols, exploding cannon-crackers,
torpedo bombs and ,other dangerous
noise-makers. Explosions from these
things tear the flesh and so mangle it
as to produce innumerable little hooks
where the grem may grow, well shelter
ed from light and air.
The wounds are almost inevitably con-
taminated with dirt. which is ground In
to them by the same force which pro-
duces them, and this dirt may contain
the tentanus bacillus. If 1t does and
one can never tell whether it does or
not except by the result-the only safety
hes in the most thorough and careful
cleansing OF the wound st.
The surgeon who is called to see such
a wound is kind only when he is most
cruel: for he should cut ruthlessly IN
every direction, exposing the entire sur
face of the wound to the air. leaving no
pockets. that, can retain the ,secretions
and give opportunity for the fatal germ
to grow. e..

Franklin Before an Audience.
In writing Of Franklin as a politician
and diplomatist in the Century, Mr.. Paul

speaking and debate.

them speak ten minutes at time, nor
to any but the main point which was to
decide the question. They laid their
shoulders to the great points, knowing
that the little ones would follow them
selves"
John Adams, in one OF his periodic
outbursts against the man whom the
public deemed greater than himself,
contrasted his own services in congress,
In which he claimed to have been
''active and alert III every branch OF
business, both in the house and on COM
mittees, constantly proposing measures,
supporting those approved when NOV
ed by others, opposing such as l dis
approved. discussing and arguing every
question:" with those of Franklin, who
was seen, he says, from day to day, sit
ting in silence. great part of his time
fast asleep In his chair" Yet Franklin
was appointed on every important COM
mittee. and Adams on few; and the
sage, could he have read his brother
oongressmanis comparison, might have
fairly retorted. with the wisdom OF poor
Richard. HE that speaks mucn. is much
mistaken" or. THE worst wheel OF the
