Hands Were Shaking Already.

An American actor once attended
duel in Paris for the sole purpose of
studying the demeanor Of the duelists.
He was preparing at the time to act
a duelist's role in new play.
Discussing this combat afterward, he
said:
81 confess that learned very little
from it. The men. were too well scared
TO teach me anything that would have
been of service in a serious stage duel
They reminded me, in fact, of story
that Edwin Booth used to tell.
"This story concerns two principals
who. after they had exchanged shots
harmlessly, were urged by their sec
onds to shake hands. They were about
TO do so when bystander, who had
looked on at their duel despite their re-
quests that he depart, exclaimed in a
disgusted tone:
"Tts hardly necessary for them TO
shake hands. Their hands have been
shaking this half hour"

CRUELTY TO ANIMAL.

for thought for all who love the dumb

The frightful wind. snow and cold
drove the poor animals in whatever

SUGGESTIONS FOR A DEN.-How shall
fit up a den which Will make people
want to lounge In It and be social?
Some rooms give one the Impression Of
being In cold storage, and ! want my
den cosy.-Maude.
In fitting up den all the colors should
be rich and dark, to give needful repose
and stability. Pale, fippant decorations
must have no place in this apartment.
Avoid collecting a meaningless lot Of
trihing objects, the distinctive qualities
Of which are based upon freakishness Of
form. Decide upon style Of furnishing
and then abide by its requirements. The
fad for oriental effects has been some
what overshadowed of late by the recog-
milton accorded to home art, the beautiful
Indian pottery, bead baskets and blankets
Of the United States. Cover the walls of
the den with dull forest green paper or
burlap, having the necessary furniture
of Weathered oak and the dark oiled floor
relieved by rugs in rich but subdued
colors. Arrange Indian relics over the
on the oak mantle and curtain the door
| ways and cover the couch with Indian
blankets. Those made by the Indians Of
| New Mexico are obtainable at reasonable
prices in black, red, blue, yellow and
green. Pillows Of dull red or blue burlap
embroidered in beads or raffia are partic-
ularly harmonious associated with the
blankets, and the stamped designs and
materials are obtainable at first class
shops dealing in fancy goods. AS the

hence would advise hanging lanterns of
wrought iron with globes of dark ruby

sion.
