HINTS ON WALL DECORATION
Up-to Date Ideas on Colors, DesignA
Etc, and How to Obtain
Best Effects. 4,

The new designs In wall paper are 20
attractive and the prices so remarkably
low for really artistic designs that
housekeeper can scarcely resist the
temptation of having the whole house
done over. When redecoratlng IL is al
ways best TO do over the entire floor it
possible when the rooms are all connect
ing, says the indianapolis journal.
The color scheme Is more readily
planned out and the dainty freshness in
one room will not kill the effect Of the
adjoining room, which is usually the
case where one room Is done over and
the other left COlors may seem quite
bright until confronted with those in an
absolutely fresh paper; then. by con-
trast, they will look absolutely dlngy.
and no amount of skill will correct tho
fault. Another difficulty which the
decorator has to contend with In partial
decoration Is thIs-the hue Of colors
varies good deal from season to season
BY examining papers that are several
years old one will find that the greater
number were more or less on BLUSH
hue, no matter what the color. then
there was a decided rage for yellow,
and every color partook more or less
Of It's warm hue; reds and greens took
their turns Before deciding upon coll
ors examine them under gas light as
well as In sunlight, for some colors
which are very pleasing In daylight are
greatly disappointing under gaslight.
The main things to avoid In the selec-
tion OF wall papers are large or striking
hgured ceiling papers Never be per-
suaded into using a dark or highly coll
ored ceiling paper. no matter how rich
II may appear in the piece The same
suggestion applies to painting or color
ing the ceiling. 1t is impossible to light
room so decorated, and the somber
gloom Is most depressing Strong coll
ors and bold. hard cut lines soon become
very tiresome, Geometrlcal designs.
wreaths and festoons are among the
most desirable patterns OF moderate
cost The style Of applying the paper
depends entirely upon the architecture
OF the room, Paneled walls. paper with
and without border, large and small
figures and strong or delicate colcrs are
successes or failures according to their
suitability and exposure one law Of
good taste, however never changes. the
darkest colors should always be nearest
the base either In dado or sIdewall
paper, the deep border above the picture
rail shading to light tlnts at the top.
where 1t blends into the ceiling. which
should be the most delicate and least
conspicuous OF all.

THE ABOVE REPORT CONFIRMED
The japanese Attempt to Cork Up
Port Arthur Again Failed.

St. Petersburg, May "a p. M
Later the report that Vice-Admiral
Togo had made another attempt TO
block Port Arthur was confirmed.
Viceroy Alexieff reported officially
that the Japanese sent eight fire ships,
Monday night, to block the entrance
of the harbor, but they were all sunk
by the Russian torpedo boats and the
FIRE from the land batteries, leaving
the channel clear. The viceroy also
reported that the Russians sank two
japanese torpedo boats.
The freships were discovered by
search-lights of the batteries and
guardships, creeping toward Port Ar
thur from the east and southeast,
shortly after midnight.
No Biz SHIPS Went out.
The torpedo boats and torpedo boat
destroyers were ordered out, but none
of the larger warships. Admiral
Alexieff himself went out on board
the coast defense vessel Otvashni.
The guard ships at the entrance OF
the harbor and the forts opened a
fierce fire on the freboats, which
lasted until O'Clock in the morning,
when the last freship went down.
The official report does not specify
the exact spot where the steamers
were sunk, but it is plain that the Jap
anese attempt to cork the entrance
to Port Arthur has again failed, The
steamers were armed with Hotchkss
and Maxim guns and responded hotly
% the Russian fire,
The Russians succeeded In saving
a few members of the crews Of the
freships, including two officers.

Seoul, May An the fighting be-

the Yalu, all the Russians guns posted
to oppose the crossing of the river were
put out Of action before the actual

pressure was kept up till after noon,
a portion of the Russian forces being
driven toward Antung. There was furi-
Gus fighting the entire distance.
At Antung the Russians found that,
in addition to the force confronting
them, they were threatened by strong
detachments on either flank. TheiI
retreat then became so hurried that
there was no time to replace the artil-
