Half the success of furnishing a
room depends upon the selection of the
right color scheme, according to the
point of the compass which the room
faces. Thus in a north room, owing
to the scarcity of sunlight, yellow or
red must be the prevailing tone, while
sunshiny apartment calls for blue or
green. The latter tone can be- used III
either north or a south room, if the
right shade is chosen, rich hue being
the best in room facing north.
Draperies of yellow or rose color are
required to produce the necessary con-
trast. Red is the preferred hue for
halls, which are seldom too we'll light
ed, and is most effective when deep
warm tone is selected, says the Brook

A firm in the city that makes q spe.
be fitting cut number of the strikers
with general stocks, and shipping
many such stocks for them to country
towns. The values of the stocks vary
from $50 up to $500. The same concern
is authority for the statement that the
sons Of toll from the city who invade
the commercial world in the smaller
towns seldom make a failure OF their
enterprises.
Others of the strikers are, and have
been for a number of weeks, leaving
the city, Many of them are so nearly
destitute that railroad fare is out OF
the question, and whole families are
forced to walk. 1t is safe estimate to
say that not less than 5000 people have
left the city in this way within the past
month. They are looking for work on
the farms and in the villages where the
cost OF living is small by comparison
with what it is in the city. Several
hundred of them struck for the har-
vest fields of the northwestern states
and the Canadian territories. They say
they cannot be worse off than they are
by staying in the city, and the change
may be for the better.
Others of those with small capital
to invest are seeking the country to
either buy small farms or take up gov
eminent claims and many Of this class
have gone into the Canadian northwest
for the latter purpose.
Altogether, but little more than half
of the men who struck at the yards a
few weeks ago are now to be found
in the city. They are scattered to all
parts of the world, for number OF
them returned to different countries of
Europe

BIG JAPANESE OYSTERS.

Post, was dished up to me in the Yellow
sea nine years ago. This meal consisted
Of an ostrich egg and Japanese oyster.
There were nine of usfell to, and the
egg and the oyster made enough for all.
The egg was hard boiled Cookie had
shelled it. and it came on looking fine, all
white and glistening, with a tart yellow
sauce in the bottom of the dish. We
sliced it down with knife, the same as
you would slice a turkey. It wasn't bad

feet long, Jap oysters, are, you know,
the biggest in the world. It was

The Rosy Cross of Thibet.

Any of the British officers now on
the road to Lhasa who may happen to
be Free Masons have, perhaps, just an
outside chance of solving an interest
ing question. For there are those
who believe that the high Rosicrucian
adopts, having emigrated to the east
about the beginning of the seventeenth
century, still inhabit the Thibetan pla-
teaus to-day, and some of the myster-
les OF Freemasonry have been. sup
posed to have been acquired from the
Rosicrucians. If they ever existed. the
Rosicrucians were secret society
possessing the art of turning baser
metals into gold, and vowed them
selves to gratuitous healing of the
sick. Skeptics, however, maintain that
there never was such a society, but
that it was invented as ponderous
joke by learned seventeenth century
treatise writer.-London Chronicle.

Start Of Small Merchants.

From stock yards striker to a coun-
try merchant may be long cry, but
many such evolutions have been per-
formed within the past month. Innu-
merable tales of suffering on the part
of strikers and their families are being
printed every day, and one thinks of
the strikers as poverty-stricken class.
There are exceptions, however. Among
them may be- found many who have
saved, a small capital, and it is from
this class that the merchants are re-
cruited.

Of study as we'll.
The course Of study that has been in

years the whole system has been at
tackled time and again as being sense
less to a large extent and many par

Nature study occupies an important
place, but it differs in the different
schools of the city, according to the
material at hand.
More attention than ever is being
paid to the study of the English Ian
guage, and it is in this that the new
system shows the most pronounced
change from the old. Instead Of an
alyzine sentences from a grammar the
pupil is now taught to write sentences
of his own. From the lowest grades
the little tots must write letters to each
other that they may in this way be-
come familiar with the use of correct
English. Chicago teachers are expect

Empty School Seats.

Not for years has there been such a
demand from parents for permits for
their children to work instead of being
forced to attend school as at the be-
ginning OF the present term. Weeping
mothers have assured the officials that
nothing but the boys wages stood be-
tween the family and starvation In
Vestisatlon has proved the truth of
these statements, and conditions have
forced the issuing Of an unusual num-
Der OF permits for children to work.
These conditions have left many a
ranant desk in the poorer districts of
the city. and falling off in the birth
rate is causing empty schoolrooms in
the rich residence sections. Mayor
liarrison's ward is an instance of the
latter cause of empty seats. With a
steadily growing population there are
to-day a less number of children of
school age in the ward than there were
two years ago. In aristocratic Ken
wood, where the school seating ca
pacity has been greatly increased the
percentage of children has remained al

in the poorer sections of the city it
is such things as the stock yards strike
and the closing down of factories that
arc sending the children away from the
schoolrooms to the stores and offices
and onto the streets. At the opening
of school one year ago cash girls for
the stores were at premium. Six.
seven, eight and even nine dollars q
week were not unusual wages for a
bright boy of IA, armed with a, permits
sion to work from he school authori-
ties. To-day the price of office boys
has been cut in half, and the number
far exceeds the demand. In time of
industrial stress it is the boys and girls
who must keep the wolf from the doors
OF the ghetto districts, and it is at such
times that the. schoolrooms are depop-
ulated.

Held Up Gambling House.

AS Patrolman James Nolan rushed
up to the door of the Asnmore gam
bling rooms in Minneapolis, where he
had been called by a shooting affray, a
masked man, who had just held up the
place, ran out and without waiting an
instant, raised his revolver and shot
the policeman two times.
Turning from his PROSTATE victim he
saw Frank Mccormick, running toward
him and fred again, but missed. Then
as Mccormick placed a revolver against
the highwayman's head but he broke
away and escaped, while the other
snapped broken revolver.
The shooting occurred at the en-
trance to the gambling room over Nc
cormick's saloon.
The place, which is the finest
equipped in the city, was filled with
men at the faro tables, roulette wheels
and poker games
The highwayman secured only $13

No Statue of Washington.

There are probably few if any other
cities in this country in which stronger
efforts are made to impress upon the
young the name and fame of George
Washington than in Chicago. There
is no other city in the land of anything
like equal size or Importance in which
may not be found a statue of 1.-The
Father of His Country" but Chicago
has none.
But few cities in America, and espec~
tally those of the central and western
states, have larger collection or
greater assortment of bronze figures
than is to be found in Chicago, but
George Washington is not numbered
among the men so honored. The heroic
statue of Lincoln at the entrance of
Lincoln park is one of the sights of
the city that is really worth seeing.
The Grant statue in the same park is
deserving of attention. The Logan
statue on the lake front may be uues-
tionable in execution, but is not lack
ing in showing of sentiment for that
illustrious son of Illinois. Statues of
ooo1'eu' iAoooAASn 'Ou onllleT,
Goethe and others may be found in
Lincoln park. Humboldt park has it's
statues to Won Humboldt and Reuter-.
At the city hall is the monument to
Columbus. Such historic incidents az
the Fort Dearborn massacre and the
fire of 1871 are perpetuated in bronze,
but nowhere in the, city is there as
yet monument to Washington.
The city, however, is soon to have
a statue of Washington. The pedestal
for one is being erected in Washington
park and the statue to be placed upon
it, though small, will be an artistic
masterpiece, Of which the city may be
proud
