development of the presidential tour. De-
parting from Johnsons model he planned
it along non partisan lines. and in each OF
the long journeys which he made over tho
country he was simply the Chief Executive
of a great people, going from place to place,
for the purpose of stimulating in the public
a loftier patriotism and drawing useful les
sons for the nations present and prospec-
tive greatness. Mckinley travelled on his
tours more miles than all of his predeces
sorS combined, and was seen by more peo-
pie No partisanship was displayed in any
of these tours. and with that fine tact for
which he was distinguished above all of his
predecessors, he adapted his addresses to
the environment In which they were made,
and, while not compromising with his con-
science, said nothing that would give Of
Tense.
Three long tours were made by President
Mckinley, in addition to scores of minor
one. The first of his long tours was from
Washington to Chicago, thence to Mnneso-
ia and the Dakotas, and thence back to
Louis. The second was that remarkable
tour of the south during which he said so
many things which served to help men to
forget the bitterness growing out of the
great civil strife. The third was only par
TALLY completed. 1t was to have included
the entire Pacific coast, the journey out by
a southerly and the journey back by a
northerly route. This tour was abandoned
at San Francisco, owing to the sudden and
serious illness of Mrs. Mckinley.

WOMEN AND WOoD-CARVING.
Some as Pastime, Some as Means of
Livelihood.

Livelihood.
From the New York Sun.
Just at present there is a fad for wood
carving, and women have dipped into that
difficult art with the same enthusiasm that
they carried into painting upon china once
upon a time, and into the popular pyrog-
raphy, which has it's multitude of follow
ers today. When women go in for wood
carving all they know about the work Is
that it is beautiful. When they come to
take lesson they find out that wood-carv-
ing is an exacting art and takes years to
learn. Only a superficial knowledge of it
can be obtained in a school, and then
pupil must work from three to six years in
workshops If she would attain any degree
of perfection.
There is no modern school of wood-carv-
ing. All the examples of the art and all
the rules for it's execution date back for
centuries. Woodworking today is, with
very few exceptions, neither creative nor
spontaneous 1t is the following of certain
set rules which all carvers understand and
follow with more or less exactnesS. OF
course there are small ways in which the
individuality of the carver may be express
ed; where wood-carving is done with re-
gard for the quantity rather than the quail
lty OF the work turned out there is little
individual taste in designing displayed In
wood-carving are being made and the art
has been carried to it's highest degree of
modern perfection in these countries.
''Womens work in wood-carving?" re-
peated an artist-carver with an indulgent
smile. well, the women make some very
pretty things, but they have no realization
of the amount Of work necessary to learn
wood-carving, and few of them take up the
study of it seriously. 1t Is hard upon
their soft hands and tedious to be standing
for hours driving chisels and gougers into
the hard wood. Then they have little idea
of designing for wood. or Of the slow,
weary years in which student must work
who would achieve any degree of success.
Ihey are good patroneSSeS, however, and
their adoption Of the fashion of carved arti-
cies is doing much to add to the beauty of
modern homes. Woodworking is a luxury
and 1t is a good sign, when a nation be-
gins to adorn its houses in this enduring
form of art, both of general prosperity and
of a growing art sentiment.
THE wood used In carving depends upon
the articles to be manufactured and the
uses to which they will be put. For minute
work requiring care and much detail in the
execution lockwood is nearly always used,
but where bold effects are desired nothing
equals oak This wood Is used almost en-
tfrely for exterior decorations. Its color is
good, 1t wears we'll and lends itself to the
sort of designs used in such cases. One
needs to go among the beautiful homes Of
New York to realize the extent of the fash
ion Of carved wood. The society maids and
matrons will point proudly to a hall rack
or ornament and tell you how they carved
that coat Of arms of their family upon 1t
with their very own hands"

Victims of the Piano.

From the Houeekeeper.
A Berlin physician OF renown, believing
that excessive practice at the piano is re-
sponsible in a measure for the alarming
spread Of nervous diseases. has instituted
a campaign against beginning the musical
education of children at the early>age now
customary. both in this country and in Eu-
rope. In his opinion no girl should be per-
mitted to enter upon the study of music
before the age of sixteen. and even then the
hours Of drumming upon the keyboard
should be restricted to two day. OF one
thousand girls who undertook piano prac-
tice before the age of twelve, six hundred
later became afflicted with some form of
nervous disease, but of one thousand whose
musical education was neglected, only one
hundred ever suffered in this manner. From
these statistics the doctor deduces the the
DRY that fewer finger exercises" and more
exercise out of doors are the needs of girls
nowadays. and though deductions from sta
tistics are generally to be looked upon with
suspicion, many Of the laity will approve

WALL PAPER DESIGNS,
Effects Which Harmonic With Room
Furnishings.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Many delightful effects are being pro-
duced by the decorators in houses which
are being furnished for the coming sum-
mer. Nothing prettier is being done in
this line than the bed rooms which are de-
signed by a man who is an artist in deco
rating. The special feature Of his work
is the free-hand painting of designs on
the wall papers to match the fittings Of
the rooms.
There are few rooms that are furnished,
particularly for summer use, that have
not some of the pretty lowered cretonnes
in them. The cretonne is first selected and
the rest of the room is built up to it. One
charming room which the decorator has on
hand has lilacs for its keynote. the plain,
old-time lilacs The woman for whom the
room is being arranged is particularly fond
or this old-faShloned Hover, and really
delightful cretonne was found with the de-
sign upon it. That was the first step, and
the decorator has done the rest.
Everything in the will be simple
and old-fashioned in effect. There is a
high four-post bedstead, with tester. drap-
cries and coverings of the cretonne, with
lilac designs, and the couches in the room
are also covered with the same material.
AS a groundwork for the pretty furniture
and llac-covered couches there is sim
pie carpet of green filling, and at the win
doWS are white dotted muslin curtains out
lined with lilacs done In embroidery and
with lilac ribbon. Applications of the cut
design of the lilacs on the cretonne which
have been used a border for the cur
tains If the design had been one which
would lend itself to this use. AS 1t hap
pened 1t would not, and the embroidery
with the ribbon was used instead. Where
1t has been desirable to deepen the tones Of
the ribbon the effect of lights and shadows
has been obtained by painting 1t. All this
preliminary to what is the chief charm
of the room, the decorations of the walls.
These are covered with one of the MORE
papers which are SO much liked this year
This has note of lilac in it. though to the
casual observer 1t would seem to be white.

SONS. Wall decoration, giving atmosphere
to a room, is of great Importance. and
with a design covering the walls naturally
an airy grace is given to the whole room.
1t is a more costly manner of decorating
than the use of a pretty paper. but more
individual and much better result is OBJ
tanned than by putting the money into
costly furniture.
