Tea Table FURNISHINGS.

A new idea in household furnishings
is a tea table on which is spread a
cloth having white background with
a graceful design in blue. AS a set.

use in a room done in Dresden colors
this is very effective and a pleasing
variation from the regulation tea
table, with it's fancy cover embroider.
ed in white, or with plain white
squares of damask. For summertime
use, however, these blue and white
covers will be found very satisfactory
They are made of light weight ma
terial, something like Japanese crepe.
are inexpensive and harmonic very
we'll with the light, airy summer dra.
peries. With teaset of old blue china
one of these covers is a pleasing &C.
compartment, but even without family
heirlooms it makes an agreeable SUBJ
stitute for the everlasting white used
during the rest of the year.

Treatment of Floors for Rugs.

The hygienic advantages of floors
covered with removable rugs instead
of dust-collecting carpets are so well
known and realized that the tendency
now is to have bare floors and rugs
for the sake of comfort and convent
ence as we'll as to follow the trend of
fashion. Good hard wood floors are
blessings that certainly are anything
but disguised, for they always look
well, form a pleasing contrast to any
kind of rugs and above all they are
easy to keep clean. In case, however,
one has an old floor of soft wood that
is hard to treat satisfactorily and the
laying Of a hard wood floor Is not pos
sible or practical, a floor of hard pine
put down on top of the old floor may
be made to look almost as well as one
of expensive hand wood. For this pine
floor a stain, one of those especially
prepared, should be used, light or
medium color being preferable to a
dark one, and it should be remem-
bered that several thin coats will wear
much better than one thick one. After
the stain is put on the floor may be
oiled or vanished with good results.

Lest We Forget.

1t is good thing to preserve all i'm.
portant historic sites and relics which
can still be identified or are still in
existence. We have been far too neg.
lectful Of such things. Through popu.
lar and official carelessness and some.
times through sheer vandalism, many
precious objects have been lost for.
ever and some places have become
impossible to identify with precision.
The lost cannot be restored, but all
that still exist may be preserved. We
shall do well to preserve them on
grounds as practical as they are senti.
mental. There is no occasion to be-
grudge the setting apart Of land for
such purposes. Land is valuable for
other things than the building Of
houses or the growing of potetoes.-

SOWING Flower Seed,

Those who have flower seeds to
SOW would find the sowing Of them
under glass satisfactory, should they
have the convenience for it. Many of
these seeds are very fine, and when
sewed outdoors, heavy rains and many
other things interfere with their ger.
mination. When under glass It is
nearly always ones own fault If a
crop of seedlings is not raised. Small
boxes, Of depth Of three inches, with
holes in the bottom, to let drain of
superfluous water, are the best to use.
The soil should be fine, made SO by
sitting, If necessary, SO that when
the seedlings need transplanting each
plant can be lifted out without great
disturbance Of the others.

Autocratic Ways Of Famous Authoress
Made an Enemy.
When George Eliot was still Miss
Evans, and before she had begun to
write novels, she used to frequent an
old book shop on the Strand, where
she left very unfavorable impression
on one young man who was at that
time an assistant in John Chapman's
shop. His description of her is that
of a remarkably ugly young woman
of universal knowledge, whose delight
it was to use the Socratic method in
conversation, but without the Socratic
benevolence of intention. The result
was that the young men at the dining
table (the shop had boarding house
for it's employees and guests) who
heedlessly hazarded an opinion, were
very soon made to feel not only that
they knew nothing of the subject I'M
der discussion, put that they knew
very little indeed of anything. Now,
young man does not relish being
badgered and made fool of by a
pretty woman, but it is intolerable to
be sat upon by an ugly one-at least
such was the feeling of our informant.
and one consequence Of this treat
ment was that in after years, when
Miss Evans had become George Eliot,
one man could never persuade him
self to read Adam Bede," or to adj
nit that the author was other than q
very intolerant person and an intol-
cradle intellectual prig.-Harper's
Weekly.

Scraping particles of food from fine

inexpensive and O practical addition
to the collection of minor utilities
found in the modern household.
Cereals Of various kinds are includ.
ed in the dietary of most families and
the safekeeping of these staple articles
of food is a matter Of special concern
in we'll regulated households. For
some time past jars and crooks have
been pressed into service and recently
specific and desirable type Of re-
ceptacle made its appearance. This
holder, fashioned from crystal, Is de-
signed particularly for cereals, but 1t
is available for other dry food stuffs,
and one point especially in its favor
is the arrangement whereby the desir-
ed quantity of cereal or other product
may be extracted without exposing
the contents of the jar to the air or
to danger from dust or insects. Being
transparent, it is possible to tell at q
glance the amount of food stuff on
hand, and as the accompanying illus
tration shows the holder is slightly as
well as serviceable.
Another convenience for the kitch-
en-, recently invented, is an iron pot
scraper. Its name explains its mis-.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Reioices in Perfect Freedom from x
Miseries Of INDICATION.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest. but how
to get rid Of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges.
tive organs, and strength comes from
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my hest doctor" he
SAYS. ~ was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result Of using eight
boxes of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, / have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not,
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up tAe
intervals between meals with pain, aiitD
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is . native Of
Aix-les. Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills i'll the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and .
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat, may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the

Boudoir Counsel.

Coined as a political phrase, bog
doir counsel Is too good to be lost.
We have long wanted it to describe
those little airy, wise things which
women utter among themselves; those
announcements upon the affairs OF
the world spoken over the rim of
teacup; the recommendations to great
men which never reach their ears.

dom of butterflys in session.-Lady's

ut is I-Maubikeck!" was the re-
ply; and the voice in which It was
uttered was so full Of excitement that,
unmindful Of my scant attire, sprang
to the door to admit my visitor. His
face was working with passion, and
with stride he was in my room.
They've gone!" he roareG. Comet"
"Gone!" | echoed. who's gomez"
"Signorina Barlotti, Maligni, the old
woman, Dambo. and all the rest" he
said, painting with excitement. Il went
to their hotel while ago, and the
clerk told me that Maligni and his
people-that meart Nita and the bag
left before daylight, and left no in
formation as to where they were 60
ing. They've gone-they've gone!
That devil Maligni has taken her
away-her-my love-my Nita!"
AS he calculated these words, the
lion-tamer strobe back and forth in
my room. There was a pathos in his
grief and rage that touched me even
more than my own disappointment
did.
But" said. reassuringly, they
cannot escape us. We will go to
Byrnes, Superintendent of Police, and
he will catch them for us. Maligni
cannot leave New York without being
detected"
"Maligni cant" replied Maubikeck.
"Ma.igni could wriggle out of nell,
ard Satan himself could not prevent
him."
l hastily dressed, and Maubikeck
and l made our way as quickly as pos
sible to police headquarters and told
our story. Superintendent Byrnes at
once sent out orders to his men to
make thorough search Tor the party.
Leaving the superintendent, sud-
den thought rushed upon me-a recol-
lection of what the major told me
about the druggist Tortoni. l hastily

and knowing about where the store
was located, we hurried there. We

azement.
Yesterday he sailed" was the re-
ply.
Believing this to be lie, I turned
to Maubikeck and said:
ut is thicker than we supposed.
There are many engaged in the
affair"
From TortoIi's drug store we went
to the hotel where Maligni and Mia
had been stopping.
There they told me just what they
had told Maubikeck.
Have you any objections to open
ing the rooms?" | asked.
The clerk smiled.
No" he replied. Here is the key
to III, and this to 112. You may 60

We mounted the stairs and entered
number 112. 1t was bare of every
thing save the hotel furniture. Just
as We were leaving, I happened to
see bit of folded paper on the floor.
l picked it up. Reading it, handed
it to Maubikeck. AS he read it, his
face grew pale and he uttered a fierce
curse under his breath. This is what
was written on the paper in a pretty,
feminine hand:
"Maubikeck! Maubikeck! He is
taking me away do not know
where! He is in a frightful temper.

us; find me and rescue me from Ma

1t is not a common thing for men to
complete so years of active business life
and still be young.
Former Governor Carroll S. Page is
an exception. This week he completes
half century in the green calf skin
business in Hyde Park. Mr.. Page was
born in 1913 and at the age of IL years
his father, Russell S. Page, placed him
in charge of the calfskin branch of his
peddling business.
The little room where the son then
started his career was in the rear of a
building, about 30x50, from the end of
the cellar of which a partition was
built, giving floor space of about 400
surface feet. There the young man,
with an old caldron kettle for his first
vat and with few pals of water and
a little salt for his first brine. worked.
From this small beginning Mr.. Page
has developed the largest business Of
the kind in the world. In achieving
this he has become splendid exponent
of the use of printers ink.
