SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS.
New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.

New Material and New Ideas for the
Decoration of Homes.
The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the last few
years, and it is pleasant to say that
they have changed for the better.
Time was when we hung monstrous
patterns printed on paper against our
walls, and considered them more or
less pleasantly. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that we considered them beau.
tiful or artistic. But they were the
vogue and were put on. The time
has come when, with our better meth.
DDS for interior decoration, better ef-
fects can be secured
In wall coverings, whether they be
of paint, or of kalsomine, or of Ala
bastine-whateVer the material used
to cover the wall-the thing desired is
that which has the greatest covering
power, as well as permanency and
beauty of color Alabastine, a wall
covering ground from Alabaster rock
which means a hard white rocks
the ideal covering for wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
in our large public buildings, and the
freScoed designs In the large cathe'
drals and churches, have a perma.
nency and an art of which wall paper
is but cheap imitation. These mural
schemes and frescoed designs can be
brought within the reach of the every
day home. They can be done with
Alabastine, which is permanent in its
coloring. 1t does not rub off, and 1t
has the soft effect of pastelle.
A great many people defer the re.
decorating of their rooms not only
because of the expense but because
of the discomfort Of it. With Alabas-
tine there need be no discomfort and
there can be no muss, for all that lie
needed is to lay a sheet or canvas on
the floor, have your man come in with
a pail, make the solution and simply
brush 1t on the wall. That is all there
is to it, and the room is perfectly
clean and thoroughly renovated.

BRAIN WORK AND BEAUTY.
English Specialist Thinks They Can
not Go Together.

not Go Together.
According to an English specialist
who has made careful study of the
subject, the reason why women are
better looking than men is because
they are more indolent and are not
called upon to use their brains as
much as men are. Hard intellectual
work and assiduous attention to bust
ness, he says are harmful so far as
physical beauty is concerned. AS
proof that his theory is correct, he
points to the Zaros. whose home is in
British India. Among them women
hold the place which in other coun-
tries is occupied by men. The FARO
woman manages the affairs of state,
goes into business on her own &C
count, and does not wait for pro-
posal of marriage, but proposes her
self; whereas the FARO man has moth
ing to do but cook the meals and look
after his children. The natural re-
suits says the scientist, is that the
men Of this singular tribe are very
pretty and the women are unusually
plain.

Washington, May 22.-Both sides of
the rate hearing question were repre-
sented at the session of the senate
committee on interstate commerce.
| Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Judson Clements was the star wit
ness detailing the difficulties that con-
| fronted the commission in its work
| and repudiating attacks made on that
body, particularly answering num-
Der of criticisms by James G. Hill.
Satisfaction with the present condi-
lions was attested by Frederick L..
Lister, of Fredonia, Kan, and 9th
ers.
Commissioner Clement spoke sar-
castically of the claim that only traffic
men had the knowledge necessary to
make rates, and declared that in the
hearings an effort had been made to
turn the investigation into criticism
of the committee, Mr.. Clements say
ing that it was not intended in the
proposed legislation to confer gen.
eral rate-making power on the COM
| mission. In answering a question of
Mr.. Dolliver, Mr.. Clements declared
that the decision in the maximum rate
case which held that the power al
lowed to be exercised would give au-
thority to fix all rates, went too far.
The commission, he said, would deal
with complaints as they were made.
Commissioner Clements in refer
ring to statements of Professor Mey-
er, Of the Chicago university, whom
he called doctrinaire, suggested
that there was 80 an aristocracy of
wealth which could hire men to adj
vocate the theory of vested rights
against the rights of individuals,
and asserted that the patron saint of
the institution to which Professor
Meyer belongs had a colossal fortune
built up by rebates enabling him to
obtain the property of competitors.
He said that nit hepre vmfwy mfwm

of directors of the United States Steel
corporation: F. ]. Hearne, president
of the. Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany; ]. Kruttschnitt, vice-president
of the Southern Pacific, and others
appeared before the senate on inter-
state commerce today. Mr.. Hearne
told the committee that in some in
stances the steel corporation sold its
products cheaper abroad than in this
country.
Judge Gary said products were sold
abroad at cost or less in order to keep
mills running to their full capacity
and this cheapens the cost to the do
nestle buyer.
Mr.. Hearne declared rebates and
Determinations had stopped since the
passage of the Elkins law. He was
opposed to comforting rate-making
powers on the interstate commerce
commission Mr.. Hearne denied that
any rebates were granted to his COM
pany by the Santa Fe road, and said
that his company received only the
price of the coal after freight charges
had been deducted by the Santa Fee.

of commodities. He said the safety
appliances had cost the roads very
