the most vivid colors, bright scarlet
blue and yellow, blue and gray, green
and blue, etc. These hues are shown
in both tables, chairs and desks OF
cane, in shapes as eccentric and varied
as are the colors.
For summer parlor furniture there
are the most attractive articles made
of dark Flemish oak and upholstered
! in a close, heavy mating woven in
imitation of fine striped tapestry and
producing quite as delicate and sedate
an effect.
There is also very attractive wicker
furniture for parlor or sitting room,
with the tops of the tables and the
backs and seats Of the chairs covered
covered with denim or with tapestry,
both in picture designs and floral eff
fects. When the top Of a table is COW
vered with tapestry in this manner or
with f1owered chintz, as are many of
the wicker one, there is usually a
thick covering of glass also over the
fabric. Without this such a table
would be too easily soiled. Wicker
screens are also shown with the upper
half of the screen covered with tap
estry or chintz. These screens have
narrow shelves of the wicker, on which
bric-a-brac may be placed, and also a
succession of racks in which photo
graphs may be arranged.
There are exceedingly comfortable
bed couches of wicker, and also wicker
couches with shelves at both ends, on
which books or bric-a-brac may be
placed.
Chairs Cool and Comfortable
Exceedingly comfortable for use at
the seashore or at a country place
where shade is not always to be had
are the wicker sun shade chairs which
come at $12, and in which one may
be perfectly protected from the sun on
the hottest day without the trouble of
holding up a parasol. There are also
wicker invalid chairs for $14 which
have everything complete, including a
foot rest, a hollow for ones pillow
and a rest for ones book. Then there
are the swinging seats of wicker, use
full both for veranda and lawn, and a
most delightful addition, if space can
be spared for them, to a playroom.
To harmonize with this light, sum-
merry style OF furnishing hall mirrors
with hat rack attachments have
frames of mating wicker and braided
rush. There are also the oldest look
ing lamps made of wood and wicker,
or rather the lamps are of brass in a
wood or wicker case. They are enor-
mou things, square in shape, some
thing like a windmill. The lower part
of this tower is of wood or wicker.
The lamp Is set on a very high stand
inside the tower, and the light shines
through panes of stained glass which
are set in the tower like windows.
Some of these lamps have little
shelves around the lower part of their
towers, on which small bric-a- brac
may be arranged, and others have
wooden racks on all four sides In
which stationery may be kept. These
last are, OF course, meant for writing
tables.

MUKDEN IN HISTORY
Leading Events That Have Marked
the Famous City

Mukden is said to have been settled
1900 years before Christ, or about 3405
years ago.
b. c. 10 Mukden was the seat of the
king of Pohai, who was later conquered
by the Chinese.
The Chinese made Mukden one of the
five royal residential cities.
Then Prince Khitan established the
Lao dynasty in China and Mukden was
free for awhile.
The Kin dynasty upset the Lao dyn-
asty in China and Mukden again fell
under Chinese domination.
In 1900 A. d. Emperor Nurbachu made
Mukden his capital and drove out the
Chinese.
In 1916 some 100000 Chinese besieged
Mukden. 1t is said none got away alive,
so fierce was the fighting.
In 1914 the Manchu dynasty conquered
China and captured Mukden, making 1t
their capital and the site of the royal
tombs.
In 1895 the city fell under Russian
control as an aftermath of the Chino
Japanese war.
In 1905 1t came under Japanese con-
troll.
1t is a station on the Harbin railway,
and has population of 250.000.
A Russian writer says 1t has e214 evil
smells.
At various times 100000 men have
fought for the control of Mukden.
The queen of Holland has given
100000 francs for the erection of u

cert at Simpson auditorium May 1s.
Its members, formerly soloists OF the
Boston Symphony orchestra, are artists
Of the highest ability.
To the true music lover there Is a
charm about chamber Glusic which
satisfies his highest ideal to a greater
degree than perhaps any other class Of
music. The Kneisel quartet is gaining
in strength year by year and this sea-
son has been most successful. A fine
program is promised.

Novel Furniture for the Summer House

mating and bamboo is also extremely
pretty and most suitable for cottage
rooms, children's rooms, etc. 1t is
made of very fine, firm, smooth mat
ting in light colors, and the design is sc
arranged that a single spray of roses
or big, splotchy branch Of iris will
fall on the top of the table or dressing
table. There are couches of mating,
also, having a design of large pink
roses on yellow ground. These
| couches are to be had for SIS. The
| dressing tables cost a few dollars
| more. There are most attractive desks
in bamboo and mating for SO, rocking
chairs for 81 and lounging chairs for
$40. One of the newest pieces of fur
niture in bamboo Is a dinner gong. The
bamboo rods are made into a stand
something like a music rack, which
as chair. In this rack are hung a
series of five metal objects, somewhat
the shape of a fiat sided bottle, which,
when they are struck with small
drumstick, give out a dulcet ringing
harmony
1t is to be hoped that the summer
landlady will substitute the bamboo
gong for the immemorial dinner bell.
Most useful among the wicker arti-
cles are the tea wagons, on which tea
may be wheeled from the house to any
part of the lawn or veranda. Attract
i've tea wagons of wicker, with glass
trays, are shown for $25, but there are
many cheaper than that. The tea
wagon is an importation from England,
where 1t has for years been known as
the curate's assistant. The idea of
giving 1t this name was suggested by
the frequent English tea, with it's one
curate and a large number of women,
to whom the unfortunate lone man was
obliged to carry tea and cakes. No
country house should be without a tea
wagon, even If its inmates do not care
for tea, as it is quite as useful for cold
drinks or to assist in serving a lawn
luncheon or a veranda breakfast The
American manufacturers have added a
cellarette to the tea wagon. The COM
binatlon piece of furniture is also to
be had in green wicker and glass.
The Water Wagon
There is also among the new things
of this nature an article whose trade
name Is 1.-The water wagon" It is
shaped like a small barrel and, like
the tea wagon, is set on high wheels
so that 1t may be easily pushed from
place to place. But when the top of
the water wagon" is lifted off it is
discovered that the title is a mis-
nomer, for inside are two racks of
glasses and a rack for bottles, but
never a sign of water. There are also
wicker plate tables for the Veranda,
having four shelves for plates, and
most useful for the serving of tea.
Among the so-called camping fur
the veranda, the lawn of even for
rough and ready interiors, are huge
chairs of coarse plated cane and birch
bark, attractive double seats of the
cane and bark, round seats which
open and disclose a large receptacle
convenient for slowing away things
which one needs to keep out on the
veranda or on the lawn, and birch
bark beds which would seem to be,
however, more picturesque than prac-
tical.
Among the finer articles Of cane is a
library table with the top covered
with red rep inside frame OF the
cane. There are also cane chairs in

Is years it is likely to reach a grand
total of nearly 100000.
One Of the professors of New York
university makes the forecast that in
IS years there will be 10000, 900 in
the Metropolitan district. The growth
Of the city has been wonderful. but.
unless all signs fail, the growth of
he next 10 years will so overshadow
hat OF the last decade that the com
)arison will be astounding.
New Salvation Army Charity.
The latest work of the Salvation
Army is the establishment of "slum
settlement" house for women and
children. The objects of the enter
prise are to create a spirit of social
intercourse and to take care of the
babies of the poor. The basement of
the settlement house is to be fitted
out with every equipment for a laun-
dry, thus insuring perfect sanitary
conditions, where the women of the
East Side may come and do their
washing for a very nominal fee. The
second floor is a great room filled
having left their children upstairs,
can do either their own family sewing
or the work by which they earn their
laily bread for some factory
A great assembly room, with ante
rooms, dressing rooms and lavatories
cupy the second floor Of the colony
club. The third floor Of the house is
to be completely given up to fully
equipped squash courts, and the
fourth to ~ bedrooms, seven bath
rooms and maids rooms, while the top
floor is to be devoted to the club, res
taurant Kitchens, pantres and pri-
vate dining rooms.
The Washington Bible.
Under conditions peculiar to its
ownership by st. Johns lodge of Ma
sons, it is not difficult to comprehend
that uncovenanted citizenship has but
rare opportunity to rest its eyes on
the Bible ON which Washington took
the oath as first president.
More easy of access is another re-
minder of the same historic event,
for the city keeps it out in the open
air plain to the view of those who
care to look upon the mute memorials
Of great events. This is the small
section of wrought iron railing at the
head Of the flight of stairs over the
central entrance on the ground floor
of the old building at Bellevue hos
pital. This railing was on the bal
cony of Federal hall at which Wash
ington took the oath, and i'm an old
print he is represented as resting his
hand on this very piece of iron. Above
this art of the smith the government
Of the United States was proclaimed,
just as in n more troubled time the
Declaration of Independence had
been read.
The only surviving relic of Federal
hall is said TO be the pedestal of the
state of Washington on the steps of
the sub-treasury i'm Wall street

90 Vanderbilt built them, in 1880. were
snithe wonder of the country at the time.
Nothing SO magnificent had before
been attempted in New York in the
''' way OF a private residence. The cost
'I'of the twin houses was more than
t$S,0O0,O00, exclusive of furnishings

bronze work cost $4,000. Most of

N0qA Second German Theater.

New York has supported two Ger

any manager to win the German who

are usually young persons who have
not been here long enough to learn
Engllsh or those who were too old

New York is indicated by a conserv.
