 For tying back sleeping-room cur- tains of soft white material sillzen cord and tasse1 is preferable to rib bon, unless one possesses the knack of being able to arrange ribbon effect lively.
 Those whose worldly possessions in- clude table service of gold may re- enforce their costly treasures by low baskets of gold wire to serve as bon bon holders. The cost of these little additions is in keeping with the serv- ice, which they are supposed to supple ment, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 White lead, which is easily procured at any shop where they make spe- cialty of art paints, has the reputation of making the most durable as well as the simplest sort of cement with which to mend china.
 Cocoanut shells, which may easily be procured, make an excellent fire in an open grate. They are easily handled, possess the added advantage of being cleaner than either coal or wood and give out considerable heat.
 In some households the white coun- terpanes are occasionally replaced by one of cretonne or the old-time glazed chintz which has this season been re- stored to favor for drapery purposes. The bolster rolls to match are the cor rect accompaniment, the pillow sham having been banished with the pillows which are kept put of sight in the day.
 The linen closet is considered imper- ative in every well-regulated house hold, and the woman who has had an opportunity to plan or make sugges- tions with regard to the building of the house over which she presides is sure to have some special convenient nook set apart for the linen cupboard. One housewife has improved on the majority of her sisters and designed a cabinet that is movable like a ward- robe, being mounted on castors. It Is fitted up in the most convenient man. ner imaginable, being divided into compartments of various sizes for the household linen supply, including spe- eia1 hooks for doilies, tea cloths, naP- kins and clusters. The front of each compartment is operated like the flap of a desk and when opened serves as a resting place for the articles as they are drawn from the recess.

AS IT SHOULD BE.
Congressman Suggests an Interest- Ing Style of Getting Up COn-
 gressfOnal Reports.

"Isn't it pity" said congressman Ithe other day. according to the Wash iington Star, that we haven't an off scial in the house and senate to act as a kind of city editor for the Congression- al Record, to take the daily reports of hhe routine speeches and proceedings iand write into them a little local color?
 gro illustrate We will ina zine there is a running debate in the senate; Sen lator Dash has just flung a sneering itaunt at Senator Blank because in the ilatter's state they h4ve a playful habit Of lynching people upon every provo cation. Now, would have the report in the Record so edited as to read something like this:
 sssA moment If awful silence fol- lowed Senator ash's sally, broken Ionly by an occ; onal gasp in the gall Elery, as some stener caught his lbreath. Then Senator Blank took the floor to defend his fair commonwealth, towering in wrath before the shrink ing, shivering senate watching him tower. Shaking long, lean forefnger lat his antagonist, Senator Blank launched forth in reply. As his voice, laden with the thunder of righteous indignation, crashed through the chamber it shook the mighty structure to the dome, detaching the loose flakes of verdigris upon the bronze goddess surmounting it until they showered in "a metallic cascade upon the glass ceil- ing of the senate. He said: (Here fol- lows two columns).
 Now that kind of description would enliyen the Congressional Rec lord and put some spice into it, and would read mighty well in the rural 9istricts."

JOHN DREW.

Tomorrow morning the sale of seats will open for John Drew's presenta- tion Of f'The Second in Command'' Monday evening at Poli's. This play is admittedly. the greatest of all the successes that have been identified with MT Drew's maine. The unanimous opinion of New York theatergoers seems to be that, of all the parts MT Drew has played since he became Charles Frohman's star, there is none that can compare in depth of feeling, in charm of sentiment, and in thor ough human interest with that of Ma jor Kit Bingham, the delightful hero of Captain Marshall's play, '.The Sec ond in Commando" The piece is said to tell a beautiful love story and the type of lover which it presents comes closer to the real thing in everyday life than any playwright has yet de- lineated. Mir Drew's success in ii, from an artistic standpoint, is un- qualif1edly conceded. The brilliancy of the play appears to have surprised even those who had been led to expect something clever from the author of ssHis Excellency the Governor and "A Royal Family" At any rate the piece has clearly placed Captain Mar shall among the leading dramatists of the English stage. and elevated Mfr Drew higher than ever in the esteem of the public as an artist almost with out peer Prices are 25, 50, 75 cents, $1 and Sl.50.

were taken in Hungary last summer.
the capture being made in that art
Of the country where the climate cor
responds with that of Massachusetts,.
! The whole lot captured for the Sports
mems Show stood up under the stress
! of the long sea voyage like little sad
ors. and when they had disposed OF
their sea legs in the temporary game
preserve established by the directors
OF the show within easy flight of the
gilded dome, they fell into their new
surroundings like immigrants bent
upon making themselves at home in
new country.
The birds were very wild on ar
rival, but they are gradually becoming
domest1cated, and when a game bird
shows such a tendency it is looked
upon as bright prospect for breed
ing. Game birds that refuse to be-
come domesticated, as do our ruffied
grouse, will not breed in captivity.
Good reports concerning the HIM
garian partridge were received by the
directors of the association long be-
lore it was positively decided to
broaden the scope of the Sportsmen's
Show and include foreign game in the
exhibit European gunners who have
put in days afield with these sprightIy
little fellows pronounce the bird quite
the equal of anything that can be
flushed. 1t is gamy, cunning in ways
OF avoiding danger, swift in flight, and
deiicacy after death. It has a trick
OF screening its precious little body
behind the most convenient tree when
it gets up to go. and an inbred knowi-
edge seems TO tell it to rely largely
upon its legs, and not to be too quick

oLD-TIME SCOTTISH DoMlNIEs.
Their Thoroughness in Expounding
the Scripture Never Yet SquaIed.


The length. breath, depth and thor
Cughness of the Scottish sermon OF
the eighteenth century were wildly
portrayed by DR.. Watson, better
known as Ian Maclaren, at the ROya.
Institution yesterday. A subject. 40
he remarked, was thoroughly thrashed
out in those days. One text furnished
minister with eight sermons; an
other spread his comments and ex-
plantations upon a passage OF eight
VCIses over period of nine months,
while a third commenced a course OF
addresses to his congregation on the
Epistle of ST. James in 1866 and a
whole generation had passed away
long before it was completed in 1872
Even the endurance of Scottish con
gregations seems sometimes to have
been unequal to these great trials and
an order had to be issued that the
people should not entertain their
neighbors with discourses while the
minister was holding forth.
1t must have been easy to slip into
heresy in those days. The decIara-

Benric ard the Fox

Bonnie W. Ernest OF Austin, Texas,
wrote to the American Boy of the good
time he has been having. He spent a
month at his aunt's in Burnett county,
Texas, and while there killed eighteen
squirrels, seventeen rabbits. two road
runners. two oppossums and laige
fox. He and his two cousins were
hunting one day on horseback and
had ridden out to a great bluff about
a mile from their home. At the top OF
the bluff they spied fox. They mad
with them a 22-caliber Stevens rifle,
and Bonnie, while sitting ON his horse,
shot the fox. which came rolling d' wn
the bluff. His dog King grabbed the
fox by the back of the neck and tiled
to shake him, but he was too large.
The boys carried the fox home and
skinned him, and Bonnie now has the
skin hanging in his room. He says, Il
live in Texas and I think it a grand
place"

The buds of next May

But | pity the withered grass at my

You think | am dead,
The quick grass said,
Because I have parted with stem and

But under the ground
I am safe and sound,
With the SHOWS thick blanket over me

I'm still alive and ready to shoot
Should the spring of the year
Come dancing here
But | pity flowers without branch or

Because not branch or root l own!
