HIGH HEADBOARDS.

among all the useless things that
affiiot society,"" said the .housekeeper,
cit would perhaps be impossible to
find anything more entirely absurd
than the high headboards and foot
boards with which beds are still
made. A bed needs only footboard
and headboard high enough to sup
port the pillows and keep the cover
ings where they belong, and the su-
perfluous materials now put into such
projection not only make the bed
clumsy and hard to move, but neces-
state its being placed not where one
wants it, but with the high head
board against the wall"

EMBROIDERED TABLE LINEN.

EMBROIDEhED IAbLE LINEN.
The centerpieces, tea-tray covers.
and lunchcloths of heavy white linen
embroidered in white are especially
effective this season. The work is
done in very heavy linen floss, for
outlining and stem parts, and medium
sized floss for the filling in. One
beautiful afternoon tea-cloth shown
at a recent exhibition was study in
stitches. The pattern was conven-
tionalized wreath of leaves and flow
ers. Each leaf was outlined with
different stitch. One, for instance,
was done in French knots" another
in rope stitch" ETC., while the NIL
ing in of leaves and flowers was
equally varied. Not only is this work
much more striking than the familiar
outline" and shadow" stitch pieces,
but 1t is more interesting to do, as
1t opens up a field for original In
vention and combination. - Harper's

Emperor Nicholas Has Endorsed
the Revival of the
Zemsky Tabor.
AN ANCIENT LAND PARLIAMENT,
The Announcement Created Inteh Sc
Satisfaction Among the Liberal
Element in Russia.
They Are Convinced That a Meeting
of Such Conservative Body Must
Be Followed BY Much
Needed Reforms.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The news
that Emperor Nicholas has indorsed
the scheme for the revival of the zem-
sky tabor, or ancient land parliament,
which old emperOrs cOnvOked IN times
of stress, has spread through the city
and created intense satisfaction among
the liberal classes. The newspapers were
filed with articles descriptive OF this
ancient Russian institution, indicating
that word had gone forth that the gov
arnment had decided to listen to the
voice of representatives Of the people
Naturally there is some scepucism as
to whether the government intends
frankly to take the step; but the gen.
eral verdict is that if the emperor has
succeeded in shaking off reactionary IL
fiuences and now proceeds in good faith
to summon the Zemsky TABOR, he
will rally to his support the moderate
liberals and perhaps arouse wave Of
genuine enthusiasm in the country.
Liberals are convinced that meeting
Of such a conservative body must be
followed by reforms.
To Investigate Cause of Discomfort.
The anticipated renewal of trouble
among the workmen was not realized
Neither strikers nor students made the
slightest attempt to demonstrate and
throughout. the day the city presented
a normal appearance. The emperOrs
creation of a joint commission of mas
ters and wOrkmen, chosen by them
selves to investigate the causes of dis
content among the laborers, has made
an exceedingly good impression, being
considered definite evidence of the
governments purpose to compel some
of the rapacious masters, who have
paid starvation wages, to do justice to
their employees.
The imperial decree, ordering the
formation of the committee reposes the
presidency of the body in Senator Child.
lowski, member Of the council of tile
empire and instructs the committee
to ascertain Immediately the causes cf

and devise measures to prevent such

consists of representatives of govern,

tries and the workmen

Famous HoStelry, One OF Larg-
est in the South, Complete
ly Destroyed by Fire
ADJOINING BUILDINGS BURNED.
The Loss on the Hotel is About One
Quarter of Million Dollars,
Partly Insured.
All the Guests Escaped, Leaving Their
Property in the Structure-One
Man Was Killed and Several
Others Were Injured.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 13.-Losses esti-
mated at a quarter of a million dollars
have been caused by fire which left
the famous Battle house a ruin and
swept on to buildings adjoining. The
blaze was discovered shortly before
II o'clock p. M, and burned fiercely
for several hours.
The fire broke out in some unOccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen Of the
Battle house which, although an old
hosiery, was one Of the largest in the
south. The flames spread so quickly
that number of guests lost all their
belongings and not few of those on
the fifth floor were compelled to take
to the fire escapes in their night
clothes.
Two elevator boys, Joseph Parks
and Bernard Constantine, stuck to
their posts until all the guests had
been gotten out, although the eleva-
tors caught fire and the youngsters
were burned about the face and
hands
The Electric Lights Went Out.
An hour after the fire started all
the electric lights in the business por-
ton of the city went out, due partly
to the turning off of the power to save
the firemen from danger and partly to
one of the main feed wires being bro
ken.
One persons was killed and several
were seriously injured in the Battle
house.
The fire is still burning, threatening
the Commercial hotel adjoining, and
all the guests escaped, leaving their
property in the hotel.
An extension of the fire is also
threatened on the east side. The loss
on the Battle house will be quarter
of a million dollars and William Viz
ard, the proprietor, states that half of
this is covered by insurance.

READS The BOOK.
'The Road to WeIlville" Pointed the
Way.

Down at Hot Springs, Ark, the Vis-
itOrs have all sorts Of complaints, but
it is a subject of remark that the great
majority of them have some trouble
with stomach and bowels. This may
be partly attributed to the heavy med
icineS.
Naturally, under the conditions, the
question of food is very prominent
A young man states that he had suf-
fered for nine years from stomach and
bowel trouble, had two operations
which did not cure, and was at last
threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheum-
atism, and his stomach trouble got
worse. One day at breakfast the wait
er. knowing his condition, suggested
he try Grape-Nuts and cream, which
he did, and found the food agreed with
him perfectly.
After the second day he began. to
sleep peacefully at night, different than
he had for years. The perfect diges-
tion of the food quieted his nervous
system and made sleep possible.
He says: 1.-THE next morning / was
astonished to find my condition Of con-
stipation had disappeared. l could not
believe it true after suffering for so
many years; then 1 took more inter
est in the food, read the little book
'Thc Road to Wellville,' and started
following the simple directions.
Il have met with such results that
in the last five weeks I have gained
eight pounds in spite of not baths
which take away the flesh from any
one.

cured of a bad case of Indigestion and

Food and cream alone for breakfast
