Some of these houses and apartments have almost no light from without and depend for cheer upon gas and eiec- trioity. In furnishing, the indispensa- bie requisite Is choice of the right celoring. Avoid deep reds, pale blues. olive shades and neutral tfnts White and yellow. which would be too slar- ing in the sunlight, produce an effect of sunshine when properly used,
 Tn the evening be prefuse in light, placing lamps in corners and wherever they may make spot of warmth and brightness. A fire on the hearth whenever the chill evenings make It possible. is a veritable household fairy in a sunless home. If may be only a gas log. which has as It's recommend ation convenience and cleanliness, or 1t may be . driftwood fire or q fire of soft coal The latter, however. room where the furnishinks are very dainty and delicate. Its soft hiss and crimson glow and leaping flame are beautiful. but they are rather for eoun- try homes and old-fashioned freplaces than for the. sunless rooms of city apartn~nts On the whole. the gas log suits these best.

It would be hun dred times better for us to live In the greatest simplicity, in the smallest cottage by the side of the road. where sunshine and wind have free course, than to reside in palatial quarters without the sun.
 But If our means compel us to spend part of our lives in sunless A -N. .k the outlook is dull and dreary, the part of philosophy is to make d good fight. We may surround ourselves with what brightness we can. If we can do nothing more we can at least have a growing plant in the window and have yellow curtains against the pane To keep outdoors as much as possible and to cultivate cheerfulness when within are the wisest rules for those who live in sunless homes.
 One such apartment recall. IL is on the fifth floor of an old fashioned house There Is grocery on the ground floor and the entrance to the apartments is on a side street, the house. standing on a corner. There are seven rooms in my friends hat any only one of them has any sun shine. but the effect Is very cheerful. The hostess. for the woman who lives hefe fs so given to hospitality that one never thinks of her in any other way, welcomes her friends with an air 90 gay and cordiality so spon- taneous that she makes her own sun shine. She has not tried, as my other friend did, to make everything white and gold; she is fond of a certain delicate rose color and 1t predoninates In her furnishing. One room is pa- pered in apple green and here she has managed to get together her books. her piano and divan. SC sumptuous that ito look at if conveys feeling of rest After all the life Is more than meat, and the body than raiment, and the woman who lives In q house has more to do with its cheerfulpess than the house itself.

PIECE OF ooBrLlN TAPESTRY FROM FRANCE

United States Ambassadors and Min
listers in the various capitals of the
world. Two governments, those OF
Cuba and France had already made
all arrangements for governmental
gifts ere the intimation came from
Washington and CT course, in each case
the original plan was carried out but
at the other courts of the world the
governments took no action but mere
ly left matters in the hands OF the
rulers who were, to be sure, at entire
liberty 10 send presents provided they
paid for. them out of their W pockets.
Incompatible CobeIin Tapestry.
Of the thousands of wedding pre-
sents valued at hundreds of thousands
of dollars which arrived at the White
House during the first half OF the
month of February undoubtedly one
of the most attractive was the won
derful pieces of Gobelin Tapestry, the
Gift of the Republic of France and
which was presented to Miss Roosevelt
in person by M. J~usserand, the French
Ambassador to the United states
This gift has especial significance from
the fact that the factory where 1t
was manufactured was established by
Louis XIV and is under the direct con-
troll of the government OF France.

designed as a gift either for royalty or
for some distinguished son Of France
and ever such honor has been paid
Out rarely.
1t was the wish of the French people
and officials to present to the White
House bride the most exquisite and
precious thing that could be selected
and quite naturally they selected a
special product of their best workshop.
This Gobelin tapestry,-the only one
of the kind ever sent to this country,
has as it's design a reproduction of
a painting made by Ehrman of Stras-
burg, a famous Alsatian painter.
The tapestry is two feet wide and
four feet long and the predominating
colOrs are blue, green and yellow. 1t
was made fully fifty years ago and the
subject is ~allegorical in character, re-
presenting a woman of the Middle
Ages dressed in long flowing robes of
blue and yellow and standing before
a lectern making Examinations upon
a scroll. The figure is almost in pro-
file and the dark hair is curled about
the head in classic style. Around the
mali picture is a border wider at
each end and on the sides
in which wreaths, leaves and medal
lions appear at intervals. This tap
estry, small as it is, is said to be worth
from $4,000 to $4,000
Jeweled Necklace from Cuba.
f'or the new Republics gift to the
daughter of President Roosevelt the
Cuban government appropriated the
sum of $25, 900 and the Cuban Minis
ter at Paris was entrusted with the
task of purchasing the handsomest
jeweled necklace that could be obtain
ed with this sum. The White House
bride, by the way, has received sever
al pearls and diamond necklaces.
Most of them have come, however,
from relatives of the bride and
wealthy New York friends.
The German Emperor did not take
the world into his confidence with re-
ference to the present sent to tn
young lady who christened his yacht
but it proved to be a jewelel bracelet
for which the Emperor and Empress

MESSAGES UNDERGROUND.
n Jesuit of Pennsylvania the Invent
or of a New Wireless Telegraph
system.

Father Joseph Murgas of Wilkes
Barre, pennsylvania, expects, within
he next month or two to be able to
send wireless messages to Europe by
means of his new system which is
now in practical operation.
Since the completion of the aerial
wireless system and it's development
to its present stage of perfection
Father MurgaS has been experiment
ing with an underground service
which he believes will be more valu-
able than the aerial system. His ex.
periments so far have been limited
to short distances with moderate cleo
trical power and shallow holes. But
he is now completing underground
stations in Wilkes-Barre and Scran-
ton and will conduct the experiments
IN a larger scale.
So far as he has proceeded with
this work, so successfully has his
theory Of underground wireless tel
egraph worked out that recently he
announced he had no doubt of his
ability to send an underground mess
age to Europe and that the expert
ment will shortly be made, despite
the fact that it is estimated it will
cost $4,000.
To accomplish this, he says, a shaft
5000 feet deep must be sunk in this
country, and one Of similar depth in
Europe. Each of these will have to be
concerted to render 1t impervious to
dampness, which would destroy the
efficiency of the wires with which the
sending and receiving apparatus will
be connected with the surface. A
great deal Of power will also be re
quired.
The shafts at Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton are 300 feet deep and the
distance is eighteen miles. The char

healthy members are deprived OF the
n~ecessaries of life to provide some
slight medical aid and n small measure

matters worse the survivors are apt to
spend the last cent on the funeral.

Valued at Hundreds of Thousands OF

JeweIry and other Ornaments from
Every Country.
No other American girl has received
wedding presents SO numerous, valu-
able or interesting as those which
have been showered upon President
R~oosevelt's Oldest daughter. Nelly
Grant who, next to Alice Roosevelt,
had the most brilliant White House
wedding received many costly gifts
from all parts of the world but her
trophies pale by comparison with those
of the first White House bride of the
present century. For one thing there
we're only two hundred guests at the
marriage of Nelly Grant and Algernon
Sartoris whereas nearly n thousand
persons were invited to the White
House wedding of 1906 and of course
the number of presents in the latter
case outnumbers those in the former
instance in the same proportion.
Recognized as Great World Power.
Then too, Uncle Sam was not near
ly so much of a World Power in the
days of President Grant as he has
been since the Spanish-American
War and consequently it is small won
der If the various rulers of the world
have manifested greater interest in the
nuptials of the daughter of the pres
emf Chief Magistrate than they did
in the similar event a quarter of a Gen.
fury ago.
However, 1t should be explained
just here that President Rooseyelt's
daughter has received very few pre-
sents from foreign governments-al-
most all of the gifts having come from
the soveTeigns or other rulers as in
dividuals. That the governments
should not send tokens was the express
wish of President and Mrs. Roosevelt
and was clearly indicated to the
Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1906-03-17

left dependent on New York's public
charity through the desertion of the
parents is reckoned by the thousands.
As to the little unfortunates who are
classed as ungovernable, who u
away from home, etc.-the fault lies
largely in the home. Indifference,
neglect and Ill treatment are the
causes of juvenile crime. Third class
theatres and their flaming advertise
ments are frequently the incentive to
petty thieving in order to obtain the
price of admission, while the gay
career of the villain In the play fires
the ina gination OF the slum children
whose surroundings all tend to give
him a cros>eyed view of morality.
Though the gallery Kisses the stage
villain, 1t admires his good clothes and
dashing pose, and the boy who has
stolen a piece OF lead pipe to pay hij
way In thinks he has just the nerve
and wit to save himself from the mls-
cradle climax which finishes the bad
man on the stage.
I'D victim OF poverty and its
{ evils In New York who,
through the death or incompetence OF
lbs palents or its own depravity, comes
within the jurisdiction of the public
charities Is usually first sent to n OF
the city's institutions. There are 1T
OF them, and to each the city pays
3S cents a day Tor each infant cared
for and 50 a week for each child I'VE
two years. The widower sending his
child en- to one of these institutions 10
requested to pay something towards
their support. II he fails the city
pays. A municipal officer Is sent to
visit the surviving parents OF h chill
dren once a year, and where conditions
have improved to the point which as
sures health and comfort, the child is
returned to its home. The parents are
not always anxious to regain possess
ion OF their children. 1t is a sad COM
mentary on human nature that they
exhibit more eagerness in this dlrec-
ton after the child has reached an age
where 1t can earn money.
To Make Better Citizens.
New York gives more largely to
charity than any other city and its
methods are most severely criticised.
Nearly 100000 was contributed last
year, almost half OF which went to In
situations for the do--itute. 1t has
been universally agreed, however. that
the best means for caring for the waits
OF great cities is by providing them
with homes in country families. The
precaution OF 1rst making sure that
the child's parents or relatives will
never be able or willing to care for It
is urged. When this point has been
established and n family can be found
willing to accept a founding, the child
be adopted outright. But IL
there Is uncertainty on this point, or
for any reason the family Is unwilling
to definitely adopt a child, he may be
vent out with the understanding that

however, she was seized by the Newark
heroine who brought her safely to
shore.
For her act of heroism, Miss Titus,
who is only sixteen years old, vas a
warded a Carnegie medal, although
at the time her name was under con
s~ideration, hundreds of other persons
were brought forward as worthy of re.
ward.
Since receiving the medal Miss
Titus's father died leaving insufficient
money to send her to college as she
craved. Miss Reifsnyder, apprised the
Carnegie commission Of her friends
desire for an education and the com
mission decided to grant her $1,000
Five hundred dollars of this is to be
paid upon her entrance to a school,
$500 annually in advance for three
years, and $500 at her graduation
This Is the largest reward ever given
by the commission, the highest previ-
iouS being $1,000.

The atmosphere of the earth acts
very much in the same way as does
the glass of a greenhouse-it allows
the rays Of the sun to pass through
but imprisons the heat. Thus 1t is

at the sea level, because. though the
