that woman is always behind such dis

fact that woman, when employed in BUSH

A room facing north is without SUM
shine, and this lack Of sunlight should
be supplied artificially, by an abundance
OF yellow or red. Light coming from
the north is said to he cold light, and
as blue Is cold color, it should never
be used In such room. The tempera-

Blue can only be used In a room that

used in room lighted only from the
north or south. In the former it should
be rich and warm inequality, and the
sash curtains could be either rose color
or yellow. A touch of red should be in

phasizes the value Of the green.

Red seems to be universally used in
halls-as they seldom require light, and
seem to require red to give cheerful
aspect. But it should be a bright, bril-
liant color, to overcome the darkness Of
an unlighted hall. Terra Gotta is not
deep enough and Pompeiian and Indian
reds are not rich enough.
Color has its influence in apparently
Increasing or diminishing the size of
room. Blue Is called retiring color.
therefore it is used on low ceilings and
elsewhere to give IN idea Of space, or
rather Of increasing space.
On the contrary, yellow Is an I'd.
vancing color, and II used generously
will make room appear smaller. Red
and green make but little difference.
Il olive green or red brown be used
in conjunction with mahogany furni-

different from what it would be II blue
were used. Blue would accentuate the

FREAKS OF HAIRDRESS1NG.
Their Locks with OIL Of
ANY Kind.

In Abyssinia one method Of doing the
hair that is adopted by warriors is to
stroll into the market place. buy q
pound Of butter. and. putting it upon
the top Of the hair, stand still while the
sun arranges things. When the hair
is thus dressed with melted butter, says
the Chicago News, the Abyssinian
knows that fate cannot, or will not.
touch him-he is a picture of we'll
dressed elegance done in oils. Another
style is to tress the hair, and every tress
means something A young warrior
with head Of hair undressed is of no ac-
count; he has not yet killed man.
When, however, he has done so, all his
hair is shaved OF except enough to make
one tress, which is of the same signifi-
canoe as notch ON pistol stock. After
that every man he kills entities him to
add another tress, until as conquering
hero of 100 tresses he is formidable
man to try conclusions with.
Some of the New Hebrides people do
their hair up in bunch on the top OF
the head and stain it yellow, while the
inhabitants of Ombat island pass it
through tube SO as to make kind of
plume. The Marquesas chiefs favorite
method is to shave all the head except
two patches, one over each temple,
where he cultivates two horns of hair.
No doubt this is to render him more a
thing of terror to his enemies than of
admiration to his friends. His reason
for shaving the rest of his head is to al
low more space for tattooing, as if all
OF the available skin of the body were
not enough.
No one has visited Fiji in the past
without being astonished at the fear
full and wonderful styles Of hairdress-
ing. They are geometrical, monumental,
pyramidal and trapezoidal. An addi-
tional factor in this production of the
grotesque is that the hair varies in color
as lime varies in bleaching power, or as
the juice of the mangrove in coloring
matter. Between black and white the
colors run through the blue-black and
all the shades of red and yellow. Often
half the hair is red and the other half
white, giving kind of piebald effect.

The worst Of them all was Charles Bon
aventure of Breil, who said his real
name was the Viscount de Roys and
Marquis Of Caulain, neither of which
titles, however, exists In the Almanach
de Gotha. Bonaventure suddenly dis
appeared from his favorite Paris clubs
one day and as suddenly reappeared four
years after. He said he had been made
ruler of the province of Port-Breton in
Oceania, and that he had come back to
place on the Paris bourse valuable
amounts of stock and shares he had
gained in the prosperity out there.
What he was really specializing in was
human credulity Of the peculiar French
variety. Nevertheless, he persuaded q
lot of people to invest large sums Of
money in farm lands, in mining shares,
distilleries and sugar fields. At certain
day he was to meet 500 emigrants from
Holland and France at Havre, whence
the party would sail on a specially char
tered steamer for the paradise at Port
Breton The emigrants came, the boats
were there, but the ruler of the distant
land was behind time and the boat sailed
without him. @
When the emigrants arrived In
Oceania to take possession of their vari-
GUS properties they discovered that they
had been duped. There were but barren
lands, destitute of the first necessities of
life. Many of the wretches died there Of
starvation; there was no ,ase in their 60

TRADES THAT HAVE DIED.
Hygiene Has Killed Slatemaking and
Rug Weaving IL Almost
FORGOTTEN.

London is haunted with the ghosts
of dead industries. Take watchmak-
ing, for instance. Since the introduce
ton of the foreign watch, the demand
for the old English variety has disap-
peared, says Stray Stories.
Matmaking at one time was the prin-
cipal industry of Suffolk. Many towns
now scarcely known to the traveller
carried on thriving industries in thia
business. But now all you will see
will be decayed factories In place Of
the once thriving workshops.
Rug weaving is on its last legs.
About so people now represent what
was 20 years ago thriving trade. en-
ploying nearly 5000 skilled hands.
These latter, too, were skilled opera
tives. while the present workers are
either old men or unskilled boys.
Wood engraving is, of course. ex-
tinct for all practical purposes. The
destroyer has also turned his hand to
ivory turning. the introduction of eel
luloid and other cheap substances hav-
ing rendered this more beautiful indus
try obsolete.
Many people still think that Spital-
fields is yet center of a thriving silk
weaving industry. At one time the
trade employed $4,000 hands, but to-
day there are scarcely 1000, and there
are no apprentices entering it. Here
and there one encounters in remote
garrets old men who still can and do
turn out exquisite examples of work.
Increasing regard for hygiene has
resulted in the sacrifice of more than
one industry. Among these is the once
fourishing one of slate manufacture

Cave Of the Winds.

The Cave of the Winds has been dis
covered at last at Point Reyes, CAL, this
being, according to the records Of the
weather bureau, the windiest spot in this
part of the world. For three days it
blew at the rate OF 102 miles an hour, and
for short period at 120 miles an hour;
this last effort disabled the thermometer
by ripping the cups of it. The weather
tower is a fortress, and pedestrians who
have business in that vicinity have to
keep under the lee of the cliffs to avoid
being blown OF the earth.
