THE finest interior decorations in
the West, if experts are not mis-
taken, will be those of the new
state capitol, where the decorators are
just beginning to display their skill.
They started to adorn the hall of rep
resentatives about the middle of De-
cember, but were obliged to make elab-
crate preparations for this large, inn
portant task.
Elmer E. Garnsey, of New York, the
well known painter, who was awarded
the contract for decorating the hall of
representatives, the senate chamber
and other apartments has sent to st.
Paul dozen mural decorators and a
few plain painters" These are under
the supervision of Max Philip. That
Mr.. Garnsey is an artist fully COM
petent is manifest from the fact that
he was chosen to provide part of the
interior decoration for the congress
sional library at Washington, the Bos-
ton public library, the Carnegie libra
ry at Pittsburg, the Union club, New
York, and the New York Stock Ex-
change.

UNI arch reveals the stage within.
Half way towards the dome the hall
is encircled by narrow gallery, i'm
mediately back of which a series of
five arched "penetrations," or openings,
constitute a fine facade. The height
of the arches is Is feet from the gallery
floor. The greater part of the ceiling,

big arched entrance-have not been put

over, is criss- crossed by the timber of

1T is weird story the old legends
tell of King Ebrauc, the founder
of the ancient city of York, in
England. 1t goes back to the days of
King David of Israel, more than 1000
years before Christ. But there are
some things which connect the old hero
with our own day, and lend additional
interest to the queer life he is sup
posed to have led. - One of these is
his name. AS almost every educated
person knows, the Latin name for our
city of New York is Novum Eboracum.
"Novum' means new" and "Ebora-
cum is the old Latin name for the
city of York in England. "Novum
Eboracum" appears on the diplomas
of colleges in the Empire state, on
the seals of cities and other corpora
lions and elsewhere. Legend tells us
that "Eboracum" is a corruption of
the name of this king. The city of
Eboracum is mentioned by Ptolemy
who wrote 120 years before the time
of Christ. But old King Ebrauc Uf
he ever lived) had been dead 1000
years before Ptolemy was born.
He was a descendant of Aeneas, the
Trojan hero; of Jack the Giant-killer,
and of other heroes, more or less clas-
sic, of whom you have heard. He was
giant in size and strength. From his
capital city of Troy Novant London)
he led an expedition against Gaul, and
laid waste that country, bringing home
rich spoils. His father had been one
of the wickedest and most odious kings
in the world, and probably the son
had no clear ideas of religion or moral
ity to guide him.
The Trojans, from whom he was
descended, were not polygamists. But
Ebrauc, like Solomon, went into the
business of matrimony by the whole
sale. His reign was one of the long
est ever known, covering a period of
sixty years. Picking up a new wife
every now and then, he secured an as
sortment Of twenty, at least. His chill
dren numbered fifty, and we have the
names Of all of them. The boys were
brainy and athletic fellows, and the
girls were beautiful to behold. When
the children of this. astonishing fam
fly were grown to manhood and won-
anhood they were let loose upon the
world. They did not remain in Brit
ain, but sought new fields of conquest
The girls were all sent to Italy. They
were thirty in number. One of them
whose name was Galaes, was the mos
famous beauty of her time in West
ern Europe. Every one of the maiden:
met her fate in the South. Each wa.
married, in time, to one Of the descend
ants OF the Trojans who had settled IL
Italy. Their names are curious study

unobstructed, shone through from the

glittered in sharp contrast with the
dead white of the walls.
The old storm door leading to the

One of them was called Nest. Then there
were Gladud and Stadud, Raglan and
Blagan, Omar and Anaor, Ecut ana
Cheum, Gloigni and Ignogni, Gorgon
and Egron, and others with names
equally fantastic. But what's in
name? All the girls shone at the court
of King Sylvius at Alba Tonga, near
the place where Rome was afterwards
built. Romulus, who built Rome, was
not favored with shipload of beau
tiful girls for his followers to marry,
but had to steal the daughters Of the
Sabines, as you will remember.
The boys were only half-brothers,
and called themselves, loosely, ger
mans; the word meant simply near
relative, and was decidedly indefinite.
There were twenty of them, and they
became known as the twenty ger
mans"
Their story is a wonderful one. That
is, it would be if only it were told. But
the old priest who gave us the legend
in Latin many centuries ago gave us
only the net results. He reminds us
which runs:
I'll tell you story
OF Johnny Anory.
And now my story's begun;
I'll tell you another
About his brother,
And now my story is done.
The twenty germans went over to
the mainland in quest of adventure.
They stood by one another. They
married advantageously. They seized
every opportunity for leadership. In
word, these twenty boys, aided by
King Sylvius in the South, became
the masters Of a vast region or many
little states, which came to be called
in their honor, Germany.

There was Bull, for instance, who

Speaking of plaster or mortar, the
inquirer, by bold flight of magma

that the mortar holds together. Each
of these stones is created for specific

lysed Perfumed RINGS.

The use of perfume as disinfectant
is wen known, and the scented dandy
has perhaps more hygienic wisdom than
his detractors give him credit for. 1t Is
he who is trying to revive the use or
the perfumed fountain ring, an article
de luxe which may either be used as an
ornament or as means of a pleasant
disinfectant in stuffy underground
trains Or in insalubrious districts.
The ring is an ordinary gold one
fitted with a ball at the back. 1t is
filled by pressing the ball nearly fat,
and dipping the ring into cup of
scent. when the elasticity of the ball
draws the perfume into the interior till
quite full. By the least pressure the
Wearer of the ring can cause a jet OF
scent to shed its refreshing aroma any
moment he pleases. and he may thus
act as d benefactor or nuisance to
those in his vicinity.
The perfume lamp may also be used
as another pleasant method of disin-
fecting q room. A ball of .spongy plat
mum is placed over the center of the
wick, and is fixed in its position by a
thin glass rod which is inserted into
the wick. The lamp is then filled with
any scented spirit, and when lighted is
allowed to burn until the platinum
gets red hot. The fame is then blown
out. and pleasant odor fills the at
