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

The styles of home decorations have
completely changed in the las, few years.
and 1t Is pleasant to say that they have
changed for the better. Time was when
we hung INDUSTRIOUS 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
wer" the vogue and We're put ON. The
time has come when. With our better
methods for interior decoration. better
effects can he secured.
In wall coverings. whether they be
of paint. or of kalsominc. or of Ala
Observation-Disclosures the maieri;! used to
cover the wall--tte thing desired is that
which has the greatest covering power.
as well as pcrmanency and beauty of
color. Alabastinc. a wall covering
ground from .Alabaster rock-which
means a hard white rocks the ideal
covering for II wall.
The most beautiful wall decorations
in the world are those which are laid
on with the brush. The mural designs
i'll our large public buildings. and the
frescoed designs in the large cathedrals
and churches have Il permanency and an
art of which wall PAPER is but ii cheap
imitation. These mural schemes and
frescoed designs can be brought within
the reach of the every day home. They
can he done with .Alabastine. which is
permanent in its coloring. 1t does not
rub off. and it has the soft effect of
p%astelle. 1t does not peel. it does not
blister. and it is thoroughly sanitary. be-
cause II 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 frcscoing can he
done. In fact. the range of the possibili-
ties of this material are only liked by
the artistic instincts of the person who
applies it. Naturally n professional dec
orator could do more with it than an
amateur. but the unframed person can
secure beautiful results where the amhi-
ton does not lead one into Il desire for
too trying effects.
a great many people defer the redec-
Grating of their rooms not only because
of the expense but because of the discom-
fort of it. With .Alabastine there need
be no discomfort md there can he no
muss, for all that is needed. is to lay Il
sheet or canva on the floor. nave your
man come in with n 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 r.no-
waited.

FERTILITY FROM DECAYlNG
"

4 great deal of fertilizer is lost every
year by destroying %decaying vegeta-
ton, instead OF incorporating 1t with
the soil, where it will furnish humus
ana valuable mineral elements. thus
greatly increasing the fertility of the
soil.
The greater part of this decaying
vegetation is composed of leaves. and
we often see great piles of them being
burned during fall and spring. which
should be spread over the garden.
Some people use the leaves as a mulch
during the winter, but burn them in
the spring. Instead of this they should
be either forked into the soil around
trees and plants where they viii rap
idly decay and be of use to the planls,
or be piled in "A heap. adding To all
kinds of refuse from the garden, wood
ash, sand. a little soil. Stops from the
house. etc. and let them rot in readi-
ness for use as potting soil for garden
ing purposes. Ii is best not to make
the piles too large. as during some sea-
sons there is II tendency to excessive
heating which burns up much of the
most valuable plant food. The mass
snoul0 be forked over occasionally. so
that all parts will be equally affected
by the sun. air and rain.
1t is natural to suppose that valuable

as the food of plants and trees taken
in through III roots passes through the
cells with the sap. and when the leaves
fall they become dry, n all the water
being thrown off it leaves only the
solid matter that has beer taken from
the SOIL.
This. then. after serving its purpose,
SHOULD he returned to mother earth ex-
actly as il is when the tree is through
with it. When burned and applied to
the soil, only ash remains. This is
valuable in itself. but so much of the
plant food has been destroyed that it's
value is greatly diminished.
Nature has made a grand provision
In Planning to have the leaves fall I'M

tee the roots during cold winter and

her is being mad all the time. When
all leaves are removed from around
the trees on the lawn in the fall. 1t
often causes great harm, providing a
tidy looking lawn at the expense of
the we'll being of the trees.
The leaves lying as they fall form
n blanket during winter which will
keep the moisture from the soil around
the roots. If the Weather is very Sc
we're, trees and plants are often killed
on account of the dryness of the roots,
the soil freezing dry, then all the mois-
ture is drawn from the root and they
are within no condition to Withstand
extreme cold.
The evaporation through the cells of
the tree is, of course. very much less
during the dormant season, yet it goes
on in a small way all winter, so IL

BUTTER
Secretary Coburn says hat only
about 25 per cent. of the 25,S 1854, 2O6
pounds of country made butter in KAN
sas during the year ending March /,
1904, was of first class quality. good
enough to command IS cents per pound.
The rest. which sold, found it's way
from the country grocer to the reno
waiting butter plant, where it has been
melted, mixed with sweet milk, and
and sold on the open market in direct
competition with the comparatively
small amount of first class farm made
butter.
1t is said by men who have for many
years been in close touch with butter
as "A commercial product that less than
20 per cent. of family, or country made
butter, is of a really merchantable quail
ity, and that this % per cent. commands
an average price of is cents per pound;
also that the remaining 75 per cent,
reaching the hands of the reluctant
country merchants, finally finds it's way

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering. it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual

Marriage in Russia.

Pearson's Weekly: In Russia every
woman of the peasant class marries, or
pretends to marry. If a girl comes to
the decision hat no one intends to ask
her to marry, she leaves home. goes to
some distant district and returns after
Il time to that she is a
widow. that she went away to be mar
ried. n that her husband has since
died. No embarrassing questions are
put to her. for anon the peasants it
is considered bad form to mention a
e nan to his widow. This curious
custom goes to show in what high re-
gard the women OF Russia look upon
the institution Of marriage.

GAR HELPS PEASANTS,
RENTS Millions Due on Lands and
Makes Purchase Easy.

London, Nov. IA dispatch from
St. Petersburg to Reuters Telegram
agency says that an imperial manifesto,
granting land concessions to the peas
ants was issued this morning. By its
terms the land redemption tax pay
ments from January IA, 1906, will be
reduced by one half, and from January
IA, 1907, the payments will be totally
abolished.
At the same time the capital of the
Peasant bank is increased and the bank
is granted additional loan privileges
with the object of facilitating to the
utmost the purchase of lands by peas
ants.
1t is estimated that the am ount of
taxation thus lifted from the peasants
by the manifesto will aggregate s40,-
900, 900, while the extension of the
field of operations of the Peasants
bank will enable vast tracts of crown
and private lands gradually to become
the property of the peasants.

CONGRESS MUST ORDER BONDS
None for Panama Canal Can Be Issued
Without Its Action.

Washington, Nov. 20.-It can be au-
thoritatively stated that no Panama
bonds will be issued until congress
shall have authorized their use as a
ba sis for national bank circulation at
one-half of per cent the same as the
consols OF 1880. Two per cent bonds,
it is said, would not be worth par if
bank circulation based thereon were
taxed at per cent, as the law now
provides. And even if the bonds were
issued and sold, the money would not
be available until congress should ap-
it.
Treasury officials are somewhat sur
prised at the published statement that
the secretary of the treasury is con-
the issuance of bonds under
present conditions. Mr.. Shaw has
twice called the attention of congress to
this needed legislation. This will un-
loubtedly be repeated in his forthcom-
ing annual report, and Speaker Cannon
las given him assurance that he will
10 everything in his power to expedite
Is passage.

TAKES new VIEW
OF IRRIGATION
Hitchcock Prepares to Approve Two
Rejected Projects.
He Had Taken Bad Advice, and His
Informants Get a Lecture - WAL
colt Removes Objections to Una
tiIIa, Okanogan and Sunnyside
Schemes.

Washington, NV. IS. - Secretary
Hitchcock is preparing to reverse him
self and approve the Umatilla irriga-
tion project in Eastern Oregon, as we'll
as one or more projects in Washing
ton. This, at least, is the inference
to be drawn from an authorized state
ment made at his Office today to the
effect that action on the Umatilla pro-
ject would be taken some time next
week which would be satisfactory to
the people of Oregon, and that similar
action was to be looked for on one or
more Washington projec.s. 1t is not
known at this time what Washington
projects will be approved, further than
that the choice will lie among the Tie
ton, Okanogan and Sunnyside schemes,
all of which have been favorably re-
commended by the Reclamation service.
This announcement from the secre-
tary's Office was made after confer
ence between Mr.. Hitchcock and Di-
rector Walcott, of the Geological sur
vey, who is the Intermediary between
the secretary and the Reclamation SER
vice. This afternoon Mr.. Walcott re-
turned to the secretary all papers bear
ing on the Umatilla, Okanogan and
Tieton projects and, in addition to the
original recommendations, submitted
unanswerable arguments showing that
all these projects are not only feasible
and desirable, but that there is no feat
ure about them to which objection can
be legitimately raised.
In point of fact, Mr.. Hitchcock,
shortly after taking adverse action on
the Umatilla, Tieton and Okanogan
projects, sa that he had acted on bad
advice, and realized that his position
would become lntenable. He saw that
he had made blunder which would |
have to be rectifed, and he has eau
tiously been feeling his way back to
solid ground. He is not yet ready to
make the final leap, but is preparing
for it and, when he does, Oregon and
will benefit. incidentally
it might be mentioned that the men
who gave the secretary bad counsel
have heard from it, and have been
warned to display more intelligence and
common sense in future
