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

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 beautiful or artistic. But they
were the vogue and were put on. The
time has come when, with our better
methods for interior decoration, better
effects 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 a 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
trescoed designs in the large cathedrals
and churches have a permanency 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 it's coloring. 1t does not
rub off, and it has the soft effect OF
pastelle. 1t does not peel, it does not
blister, and it is thoroughly sanitary, be-
cause it is not stuck on with sour paste
or smelly glue. All sorts of tapestry
effects and any kind of mural design can
be secured; any kind of frescoing can be
done. In fact the range of the possible
ties of this material are only fixed by
the artistic instincts of the person who
applies it. Naturally professional dec
orator could do more with it than an
amateur, but the unframed person can
secure beautiful results where the ambi-
ton does not lead one into a desire for
too trying effects.
A great many people defer the redec-
of the expense but because of the discom-
fort of it. With Alabastine there need
be no discomfort and there can be no
muss, for all that is needed, is to lay a
sheet or canvas on the floor, have your
man come in with pail, make the So
luton and simply brush it on the wall.
That is all there is to it, and the room
is perfectly clean and thoroughly reno
waited.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me-, April "a
Mrs. A. L. Smith, of this place, says
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith
emphasizes her recommendation by the
following experience:
''My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last week and
would then pass off. In a month she
would have the spells again. At these
times she would eat very little and
was very yellow; even the whites of
her eyes would be yellow.
'The doctors gave us no encourage
ment; they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. Of course, we continued the
treatment until she had used in all
about dozen boxes, and we still give
them to her occasionally, when she Is
not feeling well. Dodd's Kidney Pills
are certainly the best medicine fol
growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice OF
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they. may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure healthy, happy
future for them.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AND BIS

From Andre wD. White in the Cen,
tury.-The first thing after his (Em
peror Wililam's) accession which real
ly struck me as a revelation OF his
character was his dismissal OF Bis,
marck. By vast numbers of neople
this was thought the act OF an exultanr
young ruler eager 70 escape restraint,
and this opinion was considerably pro,
noted in English-speaking countries
by an ephemeral cause-Tenniars car

deep an effect, save possibly that
