THE WINDOW CURTAIN.
Originally 1t Was For Use and Not
For Ornament.

Originally 1t Was For Use and Not
For Ornament.
The real purpose of the window cur
tain is to regulate the amount of light
admitted to the room and a curtain so
arranged that it cannot be drawn back
ward and forward at will is but a
meaningless accessory. 1t was not
until the beginning of the century that
curtains were used without regard to
their practical purpose
The window hangings of the middle
ages and of the renaissance simply
were straight pieces of cloth or tapes
try hung across the window without
any attempt at drapery and regarded
not as part of the decorating of the
room, but as a necessary protection
against drafts.
1t probably is for this reason that in
old prints and pictures representing the
rooms of wealthy people curtains are
SO seldom seen. The better the house
the less need there was for curtains.
In the engravings of Abraham Bosse,
which so faithfully represent the in
terror decoration of every class of
French house during the reign of Louis
Kill, 1t will be noticed that in the
richest apartments there are no win
dow curtains. In all the finest rooms
of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles the inside shutters and embra-
sures of the windows were decorated
with care which proves that they
were not meant to be concealed by cur
tains. In fact, it would be more diff
cult to cite room of any Importance
in which the windows were not so treat
ed than to enumerate examples of what
really was a universal custom until
the beginning of the nineteenth cen
fury.
1t is known, of course, that curtains
were used in former times-prints, pic
lures and inventories alike prove the
fact-but the care expended in the
decorative treatment of windows
makes it plain that the curtain, like the
portiere, was regarded as a necessary
evil rather than as part of the general
scheme of decoration. The meagerness
and simplicity of the curtain in old
pictures prove that they We're used
merely as window shades or sun blinds

There is well known English bishop
who writes a very bad hand This bad
hand caused a sad error to happen
some years ago. A young clergyman
had written to the bishop to inquire
about a vacant curacy, and the reply
that the young man got informed him
that the salary was small and the work
difficult. But there was one mitigating
circumstance The incumbent, among
his other duties. would visit the earl
every morning and spend two hours
there. The curate would have rejected
the post but for the daily visit to the
earl. That attracted him. There would,
no doubt, he told himself, be many
fashionable dinners to which he would
naturally be invited He would make
many friends among the rich and
powerful. These friends would be able
to help him in his career. The earl.
perhaps, had daughters. One of them
who knows? -stranger things had
happened. And so the curate accepted
the difficult and poorly paid curacy to
discover on his first visit to the town
that he had misread the bishops letter
and that his daily two hours visit was
not to the earl, but to the jail.

Monkeys and colors.

In order to prove its power of dis
eliminating between colors the scieu-
fist Dahl made some interesting tests
upon a monkey. He colored some
sweets with a certain colored dye and
some bitter substances with that Of
another color After few attempts
the monkey learned to leave without
even tasting these articles of food col
ored with the dye which indicated bit
ter tasting substances and seized at
once upon those which indicated
sweets. Varying the experiments suffi-
GENTLY he found that the monkey dis
tinguished all the different colors read
lily, save only dark blue. Many savage
tribes cannot distinguish dark blue
from black and even children distin-
guish this color later than all others.

An Event That Moved Him to Take a
Trip to Europe.
He was one Of those men who believe
that if they let up for moment the
whole world will go to smash. Espe-
cially was this so about his own bust
ness. When his wife wanted him to
go to Europe for rest he said:
Impossible to get away from the
office. Why if | were to stay away
Blk weeks there's no telling what
would happen. No, must be there ali
the time"
So they didn't go to, Europe In
ltead he got sick, good and sick, too,
The kind of sick that kept him on his
back for nearly month and didn't let
him get back to his desk for still an
other week
The day came for his return to har-
ness, and he plunged for the Office.
All the way downtown his mind dane
ed with the visions of the wreck of
business that would greet him. He
expected to find the staff demoralized,
the business gone to pieces, the cob
webs thick on the order books and an
air of gloom hanging over all which
could be dispelled only by his trium-
phal entrance. He fancied himself
picking the business out of the mire
and putting it on its feet again.
But did he? Not quite.
He entered the Office. The boy was
there and looked up at him as though
wondering if the boss were not a lit
tie bit late The cat rubbed against
him as she always did His desk was
opened as usual, and on it was no pile
of mail, the accumulation of all these
weeks. The clerks were at their places
as usual. In fact, nothing was appar-
ent of the awful disaster that he had
expected; hardly any one seemed to
know that he had been away.
He stopped for a moment, breathless,
and then managed to call one of his
men to him and ask about something.
The man began to tell him what had
| been going on. They had been trans
acting business just as though he
had been there answering mail, fill
ing orders, taking reports from travel
ing men and sending them out again
in short, the little particular world of
his business had gone on just as
though he had been there all the time.
He heaved a sigh-a sigh of humil-
| ity. In fifteen minutes he had tele-
phoned his wife to make plans for
European trip, and that he would ac-
company her. Thus do matters make
us see how small we are.-New York

KILLED THE LAUGH.
The story of the Prayer In Rossini'n
"MOse In ERitto."

"MOse In Egitts."
The sublime prayer of the Hebrews,
when preparing to cross the Red sea,
is, perhaps, one of the most solemn
and majestically grand compositions
that can be round in the choral roper
tory, yet, at the same time, simple to
a degree. This was an afterthought
Of the composer and was not intro
duced until the second season of the
production of "Mose In Egitto" at Ma
pies.
The opera then, as now, terminated
with the passage Of the Red sea by
the Israelites; but, although the audi
ences were entranced with the music,
they invariably saluted the passage Of
the Red sea with peals Of laughter,
owing to want of skill of the machin-
list and scene painter, who contriyed
to render this portion of the affair su-
perbly ridiculous and brought down
the curtain amid uproarlous mirth.
Rossini exhibited his usual indiffer
ence, but poor Tottola, the poet, was
driven nearly crazy by this unwel-
bors and intensely chagrined at the
idea of so sacred a subject exciting
laughter This lasted throughout the
first season; the next 1t was repro
duced with similar brilliant success
ION the first night, for the music, and
similar laughter at the end of the OPP
era. The next day, while Rossini was
INDUCING in his usual habit of lying
in bed and gosslping with a room full
of friends, in rushed Tottola, in Il most
excited state, crying out:
"Eviva, l have saved the third act!"
"How?" asked Rossini lazily.
Why" replied Tottola, Il have
written prayer for the Hebrews be-
fore crossing the dreadful Red sea,
and | did it all in one hour"
"Well," said Rossinl "if it has taken
you an hour to write this prayer l will
engage to make the music for 1t in a
| quarter of the time. Here, give me
pen and ink" saying which he jumped
out of bed, and in ten minutes he had
composed the music without the aid
of a piano and while his friends were
laughing and talking around him.
Thus, owing to the laundering igno-
rance of a stage carpenter and scene
painter, the world is indebted for the
most sublime preghiera ever penned.
Night came. The audience prepared
to laugh as usual when the Red sea
scene came, but when the new prayer
commenced deathy silence prevailed
every note was listened to with rapt
attention, and on its conclusion the
entire audience rose en- masse and
cheered for several minutes, nor die
they ever again laugh at the passage
Of the Red sea.

WAYS OF THE ARAB.
when Sick, Men Get Medicine and
Women Get Prayers.

when Sick, Men Get Medicine and
Women Get Prayers.
There is one peculiar distinction be-
tween Arab men and women In AL
geria," writes a traveller, 'and 1t may
be considered as some proof of the de-
graded position of the latter When an
Arab Is Ill he goes to his doctor, and
Arab doctors, whether deservedly or
not, have high reputation. But when
an Arab woman is Ill she may not con-
suit a medico. She must go to the
marabout, who is half saint and half
magician. He does not retail medi-
zines, but he utters number of prayers,
and then he writes one or more of them
on a bit Of paper. giving 1t to the pa
tent with injunctions to chew 1t and
swallow It, He also supplies a little
holy water out of a bottle and the
woman goes away fully believing that
she Will recover.
1T has been said that the Arabs do
notrespect their dead because they have
no inclosed cemeteries and because
they select for the graves of their near
est and dearest solitary spots removed
from their places of encampment. But
this practice may be explained by other
causes than absence of respect or af-
lection for their dead. The task Of
preparing the body for the grave is al
ways performed by the members Of
the family themselves and, In accord
ance with the Koran, 1t is most care
fully washed in pure water before
being consigned to the ground. Then
the pottery of the household is broken
over the spot In the desert or on the
steppe the leaving Of the body In an
Isolated place seems to typify naturally
its presence before the infinite and the
eternal.
I'm Joy as in grief the Arab gen
orally conceals his feelings behind
proud reserve, but on the occasions Of
the periodical fantasies he throws aside
the mask and reveals the true man.
The dancing, gestlculating and shout
ing go on for hours until the delirium
ends with the exhaustion of the PARTED
pants. A fantasia in the desert leaves
q curious impression of semiunreality
ON the mind, but 1t is the one occasion
on which the stern, sad looking Arab,
casting aside his hauteur, comes forth
a tho TIVE son Of nature"

'T'll take sailor along with me the
next time l buy a marine painting"
said a millionaire. 81 bought two ma
rines last month, and yesterday my old
friend Captain Salthorse had look at
them.
"Salthorse said:
In this first picture we've got
trading schooner in charge of Il tug
towing away from a rock bound coast
through fearful tumble of sea. The
schooners maintop mast Is gone, and
all sails are lowered except her stay
SAIL which Is kept hoisted, though she
is towing head on to the gale. Why
that hoisted staysail? All hands, 1
suppose, are drunk
I'm the second picture continued
Captain Salthorse, the principal boat,
an eighteen footer, is racing, yet has
no flag flying. That's as incorrect as it
would be for you to go to a dinner
party minus a shirt The crew of this
boat are getting in the spinnaker, and,
If they lower away, both spinnaker and
boom will be in the water, for they
have neglected to let the boom go for
ward. But l know what the trouble is
with them. They, too, are drunk st.

The Bird IL Death.

In New Guinea there is said to be a
Venomous bird called the bird of death.
1t is about the size of pigeon, with a
tail of extraordinary length ending in
tip of brilliant scarlet. 1t has sharp,
hooked beak and frequents marshes
and stagnant pools. The venom with
which it inoculates is distilled in set
Of organs which lie in the upper mandi-
BILE, just below the openings Of the nos
trils. Under them. In the roof Of the
mouth, is small fieshy knob When
the bird sets Its beak in the flesh Of a
victim this knob receives a pressure
which liberates the venom and inocu-
lates the wound.

Robespierre.

Robespierre of the French revolu-
ton, the man who was destined to
deluge France with blood. was not
long before his frightful career of
power began one of the most strenu-
Gus opponents of capital punishment.
While he was still an obscure advo-
cate at his native Arras he threw up
an appointment because of his opposi-
ton to this form Of penalty. And
just when his star was In the ascend
and he boldly harangued the national
assembly to prove that the punish
ment of death is essentially unjust,
that it has no tendency to repress
crimes and that it multiplies offenses
much more than it diminishes them"
