PARLOR PASSING AWAY.
II Everywhere Giving Place to
the Living Room.

And is it true? Is the parlor
doomed? Must it give way to the liv-
ing room? That apartment cannot
make good the loss of the other.
Who does not remember the dark
ened glories of the old-fashioned par
lor, which was seen at it's best in the
middle-sized town, village and coun-
try? Shut up the week through,
sometimes nearly the year through,
with blinds closed tight and lace cur
tains tied primly back; with its hair
cloth-seated chairs set in line
against the wall; "rocker" ready to
gallop in one corner, and what-not
in the other, ornamented with rice
baskets, praying Samuels and family
daguerreotypes and photographs;
center table, set exactly in the mid
die of the room, with few handsome
books and the large family Bible, the
mantelpiece with vases filled with
crystallized grasses at either end, and
odds and ends of strange things fit
ting up the rest of the space; who
among the elder generation does not
know it well? 1t was a room to be
venerated.
And now-one sadly recognizes 1t
to be, indeed, thing of the past.
Instead, there is the living room,
that actually is a living room, where
the baby's perambulator stands near
the piano, where the work basket is
on q convenient table (no one ever
saw a work basket in parlor);
where there are plants, a writing
desk; where the sun pours in as much
as it may. It is indeed living room.
If one has space there is reception
room, to be sure; but every one un-
derstands that amounts to 1ittle-the
caller and the friend are shown into
the living room. To person used to
a parlor, no matter how long ago,
call in a living room hardly seems
like the solemn function it used to be.
Very likely the change is for the
better, but it is a revolution. The re-
spectacle poor used to stint them
selves to maintain decent parlor;
now in model villages model tene-
ments they have lost this privilege.
Take, for instance, Bournville, in
England, the home of the Cadburys'
great cocoa works. This is known as
an ideal village. Some $40 houses
have been built for employees, and not
a parlor in the $40. Instead of that
each family has large, sunny, Gem
modious living room, and they make
the best of it.-Springield Repub-
lican.

officer of the army, which, after re-
cital of fullsome praise of the COM

Thus forewarned, Washington issued
an order for a meeting of the officers
at the Temple. Gen. Gates presided,
and amid great solemnity the COM

their country, terming those who
would overturn the government trait
ors, and finally emphat ically declining
to be made king.-N. Y. Herald.

LOST HIS TEMPER.
Sparrow That Had Been Guyed by His
Chums Turns Around and
Whips Them.

An English sparrow went upon .
search for new home yesterday, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t so happened that he lighted, in
the course Of his travels, upon the
statue of Benjamin Franklin, which
graces the big triangle at Park Rows
junction with Nassau street.
The metal Franklin, as everybody
knows, sports tie wig, which swells
out over the ears after the manner
of the truly swagger girls back hair,
and in the consequent crevice the
homeless sparrow fancied he had dis
covered an ideal place for nest.
He proceeded to experiment. Dart
ing down to the street he captured
tiny bit Of rag and showed it into the
opening between Mr.. Franklin's wig
and left auricular.
The rag failed to catch on the
smooth metal and slipped out. 1t was
seized by the little home-builder and
showed back again. Several other Eng
glish sparrows gathered around the
statues shoulders and began to guy
the first.
He paid no attention to them and
by actual count dragged the obstinate
rag back into the crevice Is times.
The second that it left it's beak IL
slid out again. Suddenly the temper
of the understanding sparrow ex-
ploded. He sailed into his tormentors
with the energy of a cyclone, and in
three minutes the entire crew was
whipped most beautifully.
Then, smoothing it's rufled feathers,
the visitor seated himself upon Mr..
Franklin's august head and calmly
surveyed the scene of battle.

WASHINGTON DECLINED.
Monument Now Marks Spot Where the
Father Of His Country Spurned
q Royal Crown.

Perched upon the brow of hill,
about two miles southeast of New
burg, N. Y, stands a plain, unpreten-
tious rubble monument, erected by the
Historical society of Newburg Bay,
which marks the site of building
within whose walls occurred one of the
most dramatic events of American his
tory.
In 1782-17S3 large part of the revo-
lutionary army was encamped in the
fields around this hill, under the COM
mand of Gen. Washington, who had
his headquarters for time in the Eli
son house, at New Windsor, and later
in the Hasbrouck house, at Newburg.
The building whose site is now marked
by the monument was sort of meet
ing hall, or public building, for the
use of the officers and soldiers, called
the Temple.
In 1882, owing to lack of pay, etc.,
discomfort with their lot, distrust of a
republican form of government had
gained a formidable foothold among
the rank and file of the army. Matters
had reached such a pass, indeed, that
a secret meeting was called, urging
the army to appeal from the justice to
the fears of the government, make
demonstrations of power and determi-
nation, arouse the fears of the people,
and so obtain justice for themselves.
The outcome was a letter addressed
to Gen. Washington by Col. Nicola, an

Virtues OF Salad Oil.

Salad oil forms a most useful article
of diet for delicate people. The in
valid who cannot touch cod liver oil
should be encouraged to use freely
mayonnaise dressing, and in eating
salad to pour over it liberal supply
of oil. In cases where the taste for
this is not, it can generally soon be
acquired. For some cases of debility
and weak digestion small doses of oil
will do wonders. Many people have
been able to give up the almost daily
use of drugs by taking instead des-
sertspoonful of salad oil on going to
bed. If the taste be dislinked it can
be taken with a little claret, which will
quite disguise it. In the nursery salad
oil should be used for rubbing into
the chest-back and front - when
there is any tendency to weakness of
the lungs. The pores of the skin will
absorb it readily, and it will be found
to have nourishing and strengthen
ing effect.-Medes.

century, part of the time in Paris, but
most of it in London. In both capitals
the generous allowance made by her
husband has enabled her to give So
cial entertainments in manner that
could not be approached by hostesses
of moderate wealth. No matter how
clever and witty man is he enjoys
good dinner faultlessly served. Mrs.
Mackay gives them.
That is why the brightest and clev-
crest persons in London Ire always to
be found at her house. With the CO.
operation OF, shrewd campaigners like
Mrs. Ronalds, Mrs. Adair, the young
duchess of Marlborough, Lady Curzon,
of Keddleton; Lady Arthur Butler
and Mrs. George CORVALLIS West (for-
merly Lady Randolph ChurchilD it
would be strange if it we're otherwise.
If that means revival of the salon
Mrs. Mackay is accomplishing it, but
she would be the last person in the
world to put any such construction
upon her social success.
In the first place, Mrs. Mackay's
just OFF Pall-Mall, is one of the most
beautiful homes in London. 1t is large
enough to entertain great number of
guests without what is in social par
lance, called ''crush." She never does
anything on small scale. The home
was purchased from Mr.. Sanford, who
lost his money in the Barring crash
about ten years ago. Among other
things it has beautiful marble stair
case that is said to have cost $500, 1000.
The ceiling above this is inlaid with
mother~of pearls. The drawing-room
contains treasures collected by Mrs.
Mackay in all parts of Europe. The
ballroom is one of the finest in Eng
land. 1t is no wonder that persons in
the social swim, as we'll as those who
want to get into it and can't, are eager
for invitations to Mrs. Maclay's recep-
tions.
When Mrs. Mackay, who had just re-
moved from Paris to London, said she
wanted this house her husband
bought it for her. When some persons
talked about his residence being in
America and his spending SO much
time away from his wife, Mr.. Mackay
published in all the journals and d.
rectories that are supposed to give Of
fetal informa lion on such matters,
that his residence was at No. 6 Carlton
House terrace, and in San, Francisco
and that his place of business was in
New York.
Mrs. Mackay is no longer a young
woman, and she does not attempt to
dress like one. With all her wealth
she has met with more sorrows than
most women-a daughter married to
cruel man of title from whom she
sought for years to legally free her
self, and favorite son killed by fall
from his horse. Shc is woman
known for her charities, as we'll as her
eccentricities. But more talk was
made abut her contemptuous treat
ment of Messonier's 100000 portrait,
which did not please her, than of her
paying off the heavy debt of church
in Paris just because one of the priests
was kind to her son at the time of his
fatal fall.-London Letter in Philadel-
phia Press.

LIBRARY COY CORNER.

Work Out Well Under Bright
WOman's Direction.

This sketch, if we'll worked out,
will make very suitable addition to
any library; or, if one does not soar
so high as that, it forms in any room
quite library in itself. The usual
methods of building a coy corner are
followed, but care should be taken
that it is constructed strongly, to
stand the weight of books. Above
the seat as many shelves may be
fixed as desired, although we show
only three in our design. To give
more room for the storage of books
two small open cupboards fitted with
shelves can be built outside each Of
the two arms. The woodwork will
look best if stained and polished, but

Ice Instead of Dynamite.

A notable quarrying feat was late
ly accomplished at the Rubislaw
granite quarries, Aberdeen. A large
stone had been drilled ready for
splitting, when the thought struck
the foreman that nature might aid
in the object to be attained, the idea
being suggested by the severe frost
which prevailed. Water was poured
into each of the drill holes, and it
was found after couple of DAYS
that the block of granite had COM
pletely burst open. An idea OF the
immense power of the frost will be
gained when it is stated that the
stone thus detached has weight 81
about six tons.-Scienca

The skeleton sleigh is also intended
for one person who, however, does
not sit on it, but lies down and steers
it with the tips of his toes, to which
are fastened strong iron spikes.
The Swiss sleigh, on the contrary,
is steered with the hands or with
small sticks that are tipped with iron.
These sticks, moreover, frequently
do good service in enabling the sleigh
to surmount such obstacles as it may
meet on it's way.

it would perhaps be better enameled.
At the extreme end of the shelves
two other cupboards are construct
ed within the two upright arms.
These should be fitted with glass and
will give an opportunity for the dis
play of rare china or other curios.
They might also be used for storing
expensive or artistic books. The lit
tie corner bracket above the shelves
should be noted, as other little en-
bellishments of similar kind could
be added. The seat need not be up

made to ft.-Chicago Daily News.

There should be a law compelling the Paterson, N. J., mills to employ anarchists.

 There is no doubt but what some of the grinding corporations are responsi- ble for whole lot of the labor troubles that the country is now having. The men that make up the corporations are not satisfied with making q fair profit out of their investment, but would become rich i'll a few years, and to gain these riches they are willing to bring into their factories the cheap est and most ignorant, so long as they will work for almose nothing A news item in the Democrat few days ago told of gang of laborers being brought 1nIO uolSllDOI1lS tOWh 1l0ih d foreign country. Perhaps the man that brought them near him will have trouble when they begin to get eli mated, and learn some of the tricks of their fellow workers.

 MANILA, June 24.--Fiye soldiers of the Twenty seventh infantry, forming an advance guard which was escorting a wagon train half a mile from Camp Wears, island of Mindanao, were at tackled during the day by ten bolomen. One soldier had an arm badly cut, and another was seriously wounded in the head. The Moros captured a rifle and escaped uninjured.
 The Badinglam Moros say the at tackers were Morcs from Bonolod who went on the warpath in the morning for the avowed purpose of killing negli- gent Americans.
 Lieutenant Colonel Frank D. Bald win, from the island of Mindanao, re- ports that the Moros have held big conference at Bacolod The sultan urged policy of friendship with the Americans, but two of the dattos (chiefs) said they would die first. Oth- CTS declared that if the two dattos caused war they would not assist them.
 Three towns in the western part of the island are inclined to be unfriendly. Colonel Baldwin hopes to win them over to peace.

as would amount to balance of pow CT in deciding any important question. In the Transvaal and Free State tlle natives could not. under Boer rule, ac- quire land, nor move about without permits, and they were destitute of political rights. 1t is, however, by no means certain that the natives in the two conquered colonies will get any political rights for some time, and when they dos get them. they are not likely to be extensive or important. But natives are unquestionably as- sured of freedom from further appre- hension, and their labor will be used largely in the rougher and physical side of reconstruction. The great fact which the close of the war will em- phasize has already been admitted by South African statesmen. It is that the changed situation will tend to unite British and Boers in the solidar- ity of ruling population, the econom- ic masters and disposers of the labor of the blacks.

ANARCHIST LEADER UNDER ARREST

PATERSON, N. J., June 24.-It is estimated that 20 per cent of the en- ployees of the silk mills. for whom looms were ready yesterday stayed away from work No general strike of the silk workers has been ordered, and none is likely for day or so if at all The committee of the general confer ence of silk workers appointed Satur- day night to wait on the boss dyers and ask them to come to some agree ment with their dyers' helpers met with partial success.
 Two of the committee called on Ja- cob Wiedmann at his home. Mir. Wied- mann informed them he would meet the full committee. Tn the afternoon the visit was paid. MT. Maas of Knips- cher S Maas was also present. The formal request that the boss dyers confer with their men was made Mr. Wiedmann replied that the bosses were ready to do SC and had been from the start, but that they insisted that the men send committees from each shop to treat with each boss.
 Detectives have arrested Frank Schneider of this city. He is charged with having shot Patrolman Charles Robinson during the fight about the Bamford mills Wednesday last. Schnei- der is a dyer's helper. He denies abso- lutely that he fired the shot.
 The requisition papers for Mcqueen, who was arrested in New York, have been prepared and will probably be placed before Governor Murphy today.
