driven to the verge of collapse through
its presence in the room and the
thoughtless use that has been made of
it. The one place near the house, says
Vogue, where it may be said to have
any legitimate right is on the piazza,
and then only if all the other chairs
are of the same persuasion. But to lie

ready to faint with the exertion, and
then to have nurse or relative occupy
a rocking chair near one and rock, rock.

to feel ones senses leaving one in a

Of approaching insanity. This, how

whose one idea of resting Is to adopt
this form of restlessness.

One exemplary trait in Japanese
woman is her love Of neatness, trait
which her American neighbors might
sometimes take pattern from. A jap
anese will wear a RODE that her ances-
tors for ages back have worn, but II
looks as fresh and charming today as
though just purchased. Nor does q
japanese woman often grow stout
She has sufficient strength Of mind to
forego sweets and rich foods. Her
daily hot plunge is never omitted, and
the daily hour spent at her toilet is
the most important part Of her day.
Her couture II so fearfully and won
derfully constructed that it is not sur
prising that it Is built to remain for
days at time. The smooth, perfumed

In the Days Before sura,

Once upon time, when there was no
such thing as sugar-lovers Of lollipops,
only think of it-bees were Of much
greater value than they are now, for
honey was then the chief II not the
only sweetener, and wax was largely
used in the making of very fine can
dies for affairs and royal banquets
Some Of the laws Of old Ireland 10
green and Of little Wales dealt with
the subject Of bees. which shows how
important as well as industrious were
these busy insects. Every owner of
bees was required to distribute some OF
bis honey among his neighbo-s eYery
third year. Why? Because his bees
had gathered their honey from the
opening flowers on his neighbor's
lands. There was a nice sense OF Jus.
tice for you! And some there are that
would like to see 1t applied all round,
even In the present day.

THE PIANO CORNER.
Best Arrangement For Giving an Ar.
tistfc Touch to the Room.

Dest Arrangement For Giving an Ar.
tistfc Touch to the Room.
For giving style to the room which
must serve as living room and recep-
ton room at the same time there is no
one note so effective as the proper fit
ting up and placing of the piano. Where
room will admit it should be drawn
across corner, and the first essentials
for this arrangement are the drapery
and the planning of lighting facilities
back of it.
The light Is most easily and simply
managed by attaching small candle
labrum of two or three candles to the
front of the piano itself, putting it in
at the low point at the left, where the
light falls upon the music. With cleo
trio lights this can be easily managed
or without it candles will well repay
for the trouble in later convenience
and artistic effect.
To the fastidious taste the little metal
touch given by candelabra is empha.
sized In a way worth while by the ad.
dition Of hanging handles in the same
design and material. These are put on
at each end Of the instrument and have
their reason of existence in the saving
Of finger marks with every change OF
position.
The drapery is managed with two
materials-a soft silk, which is gath
cred over the back, or, rather, the
front, surface, and heavy embroidered
strips, which are used as a narrow
frieze across the top, and correspond
ing band across the bottom.
These hold the drapery silk in place
and if the piano is to be perfectly ca
parisoned there should be designed al
the same time another broad strip
which Is lined, folded over envelope
fashion and laced together into a mu
sic cover for permanent use on the rest
There are all sorts Of latitude in the
choice of decoration. The least elab
crate plan is to choose linen, having i
stamped in design that would lent
itself to the ordinary long and shor
and COUGHING stitches, which can bt
carried out in heavy rope silks.-Bos

AN ANNUAL HONEYMOON.
The Kind of Vacation a Man and Hia
Wife Should Take.


The man came back from his vaca-
ton with shining eyes and a tendency
to laugh at the least provOcation.
He said he had had good time. He
said he and his wife had just been
loafing about from place to place. He
said he hadn't bothered to think about
his work and his wife hadn't bothered
to think about housekeeping.
The man. has been married good
many years. His eyes haven't shone
like that for a long time. He didn't
laugh so much before he went away.
He seemed to be better acquainted
with his wife than was noticeable be.

covering her all over again in these
weeks of leisure from hard work. And
it's done him good.
That is one of the reasons of a vaca.
ton, and that is why a man and his
wife should go away together. In the
hurry burly of the everyday routine

things in life. We work in order that
we may have the companionship OF
those we love best, and then we lose
ourselves in the work itself, and SD

May Secure a Lease.

But whatever is done in that direc-
ton will be in the nature of trackage
lease to the Milwaukee with the Paci-
fic Coast Company retaining absolute
control of it's rail system. Columbia
& Puget Sound business is not so ex-
tensive that such an arrangement
would interfere with the operation of
it's trains and there are mutual ad-
vantages that appeal to officials of both
corporations.
The only thing that prevents an i'm
mediate announcement of the selection
Milwaukee is the uncertainty about
possible grades that only a final and
definite survey can establish. Natchez
Pass is 1900 feet in height, but it is
believed a three mile tunnel would
make the maximum height reached by
a road 5000 feet. This involves three
mile tunnel and the grades on each side
of the mountain would be as low or
lower than the Snoqualmie Pass route.
On this side of the mountain the road
would descend the Green river and
strike Enumclaw, then probably cut
ting across to the Cedar River valley.
On the east side of the mountains a
fight with the Northern Pacific for
Northern Pacific is already on the
ground.
Preparations for adopting the Sno-
qualmie route are the strongest indi-
cation that this line instead Of the
Natchez route will be adopted.

SOUTHEY'S GUILLOTINE,
1t Did Not Serve the Purpose Fox
Which 1t Was Made,

- w US N1stucs
Lord Southey once in a fit Of disgust
with life had a magnificent guillotine
erected in the drawing room of his
magniticently appointed house in the
Rue de Luxembourg, at Paris. The
machine was an elaborate affair, with
ebony uprights inlaid with gold and
silver. The framework was carved
with great artistic skill, and the knife,
of immense weight and falling at the
touch of spring, was of ornamental
steel, polished and as sharp as a razor
The spring which liberated the knife
was placed within easy reach of any
one kneeling upon the scaffold. In fact,
every detail was arranged with a view
to the convenience of the would be
suicide. The day that the engine of
death was entirely finished Lord
Southey completed his testamentary
dispositions, shaved, had his hair cut
and, clothed in a robe of white silk,
knelt upon the platform under the
knife
The guillotine was placed before
large mirror, wherein the person COM
hitting suicide could see his own i'm
age until the last. Murmuring a short
prayer, Lord Southey placed his head
In the semicircle and pressed the spring.
The next morning he was found
calmly sleeping in his bed. The spring
had failed to work, and after several
fruitless efforts Lord Southey was COM
PEELED to relinQuish his attempt upon
his life. Thoroughly cured of his spleen,
he presented the guillotine to the Glas-
gov museum, whence he made an an
nual pilgrimage to see it until the end
Of his life.

trackage agreement with the Pacific
Coast company whereby the new line
would be allowed to use the tracks of

to immediate and early construction

would last is a matter of doubt. 1t will

NORTHERN PACIFIC GETS AHEAD

LINE.
Latter Road Will Have to Use Sno-

Cascades.

Northern Pacific engineers laying
out and building the Yakima & Valley
railroad have practically blocked the
Milwaukee out of Natchez Pass and
forced the selection of the Snoqualm1e
gateway to the Sound. Coast officials
of the new transcontinental line are
making all their preparations for the

some new advantage in Natchez Pass

Seattle Times.
marked out the route for that line
across this state, the road will connect
either inside or just outside the city
limits with the Columbia & Puget
Sound, following that road up through
the Cedar River valley and across to
Rattlesnake Prairie. Up to that point
the company will gain a maximum
grade of $40 of one per cent.
A three mile tunnel, beginning on
the east side somewhere near the head
of Lake Kichelos, will ultimately b.
driven to give the Milwaukee a maxi
mum grade of but little more than 1
per cent on the west side of the Cas-
cade The east side approach can be
made on a one-half of per cent grade.
On the west side a detour north of
the mouth the tunnel will have to be
made for several miles to avoid heavy
rock work and a steep grade.
The Snoqualmie Pass route possesses
an immediate advantage that is not
enjoyed elsewhere. The line can be
built through the mountains at tina
point without switchback and gain
a maximum grade of per cent. BY the
time the Milwaukee's line is completed
to the coast the tunnel through the
Cascades will be ready for use.
Will Touch EIIensburg.
East Of the pass the road will pass
around the head of Lake Kichelos, fol-
lowing pretty closely the present state
wagon road for a part of the distance.
The line will touch Ellensburg and
then be laid out in almost a straight
line to Palouse. From that point it
will be built eastward into tie Clear
water country and up the Clearwater
to Lolo Pass. The entrance into Butte
will be effected in this manner

reaches Renton until it leaves the
