The yacht which the German emperor
would like to see win the cup is the

by Herr Balm, director general Of the
Hamburg American line. Two years
ago she beat the kaiSer's own Yacht. the

The Carpet Beetle.

The best remedies for this trouble
some pest are found in the persistent
use Of kerosene. or, better still, benzine
and gasoline, if the inlammable ma
ture Of these last two Is borne in
mind and proper care against ignition
Of the vapOr taken. The favorite haunt
Of the larvae is beneath the borders
Of carpets, lurking in the crevices Of
the floor Jennings. If the carpet is
lifted the larvae run rapidly and seek
to escape by hiding beneath the base
boards. After killing all that can be
found the crevices should be saturated
with kerosene or benzine to kill what
ever young larvae or eggs may be shell
tered there and then be filled up with
putty to prevent the resort of the i'll
Sects to them thereafter. Until there is
reason to believe that all the insects
have been disposed Of the carpets
should be left unnailed, so that their
borders can be raised every few days
and thorough search for the larvae
made. When exterminated, strip OF
tarred paper of about eighteen inches
in width should be placed beneath the
borders to guard, by it's odor, against
reinfestation.

cilia-How She Snubbed the Kaiser.
There has been friction in the prepa-
ratOns for the marriage Of the crown
prince Of Germany, Frederick William
to the Grand Duchess Cecilia Of Meek
lcnburg Schwerin. This has been due
to the rather independent air of the
brides mother, the Grand Duchess
Anastasia, who behaves as If she did
not care snap Of the finger whether
her daughter ever becomes empress of
Germany or not. Anastasia Is the
daughter Of the Grand Duke Michael
Nicholaievitch Of Russia, who is reput-
ed to have fabulous wealth. AS the
fancee Of the German crown prince
will ultimately inherit most Of this
wealth, the alliance is considered a de-
sirable one
When the kaiser was cruising in the
Mediterranean recently he expected
that the Grand Duchess Anastasia
would pay him the compliment Of call

arrangements for the wedding. But

to be remembered is that water color
paintings and etchings look better OF
a plain paper and all oil paintings Oh
small figures. though even the color OF
the frames Influences the tone of the
room. SO advises the Boston Cooking
School Magazine in consideration OF
artistically papered walls, from which
the following suggestive items and
sketches are drawn:
A marked effect in modern wall
hangings is the endeavor to obtain the
delicate harmony Of coloring which
renders the work Of modern mural
painters like Turner, Walker and Alex
ander so beautiful.
Another departure is the resemblance
Of many papers to the expensive hang
ings used in old castles and the old
fashioned pictured walls Of colonial
days. The craze for novelty has gone
to such lengths that more and more
startling effects are constantly evolved,
and even the rag carpets Of our grand
mothers are initiated. Many panels
are made which resemble wood so
closely that they are sometimes used
in preference.
Some of the most beautiful hangings
are leather papers made in close re-
semblance to Spanish and Moorish de-
signs, with all the markings of age
deftly added There are q multitude
Of effects under different names, such
as Venetian, old Dutch, Turkish, all
with fitting blending of colors
The idea of copying old New England
wall papers is an enGeavor to repre-
ducc the decorations which can still be
found in isolated instances in the coun-
try. 1t was a curious sort Of wall dec
Grafton, in which the walls were paint
ed with landscapes. trees, rivers,
houses, which faded away into a back
ground that represented tie sky.
Such patterns as the rose and anem-
one design, which was taken from
the walls Of an old homestead in one of
the valleys of New York, and the
quaint Salem patterns found in old
witch houses and the beautiful floral
patterns to be seen in old homes in
Quebec and Montreal follow the origi-
nails closely.
Many designs deserve mention on &C
count Of their simple beauty. For halls
there are papers veined to initiate
green oak or mahogany, and these are
rich when studded here and there with
brass nails. For dens and libraries
there are hunting scenes. golfing and
reproductions Of Smyrna rugs that
bring out warp, color and pattern to
perfection. Other library papers have

Old Fashioned Crocheted Affairs For

With revived interest in old fashion

become deservedly prominent, says the
Delineator. For crocheted rugs, which
are made with a large wooden crochet
needle-to be Outlined in the fancy
workShOps-the cotton or wooden rags
are torn and seWeu together as for or
binary rag carpet weaving in inch or
half inch strips. All colors may be
used, as in the familiar hit or miss"
design, and many more artistic ideas
may be worked out. For the blue bed
room rugs in blue and white are effec-
tive; also rugs with blue and pink cen
ters aud deep blue borders may here be
used
For an oval croche$ed rag rug make
a chain Of seven or nine stitches; GRO

large as is desired. In choice of colors
and in shading and grouping Of bright
