CONCERNING THE NURSERY
Paint Is Best for the Walls--Ventila-
ton Must Be Seen To-Fuvni-
ture Suitably Low.

Oil-painted walls are the ideal I'm
ish for the nursery or for children 5
rooms generally. They may be washed
easily; the finish does not flake off and
fill the air with impalpable dust, as
10 water colors under the same cir
cumsatnces, and the surface of the
oil paint will defy the fingers of the
little ones in their more mischievous
moods when the desire seizes them to
investigate the component parts Of
Of the family home. Where the purse
will permit, the ornamenting of the
walls of the nursery may become a
step of genuine importance. The ideal
coloring Ct the walls for the nursery
when plain is a soft olive green with
bright tan ceiling. This is good for
the eyes and the nerves and offers q
lesson in harmonious colOrings.
Correct ventilation should be had
from the top Of the windows either by
means of wheel introduced into the
upper window pane or by the construc-
ton of "A transom six inches or more
deep, which shall extend quite across
the window, and which may be let
down from the top making V-shaped
opening. and not open from the top,
making an inverted V. Tho latter
would direct a current of air upon the
heads of the occupants. The forme~
would make an injurious draft impos-
sible. II the windows are lower than
four feet from the floor they should be
provided with bars or strong wire lat
tice or screens. Window shields for
the nursery are sold in many styles,
both simple and costly.
The best floor treatment is hard OIL
with small rugs about that may be
taken mp and shaken each morning.
A satisfactory crib is OF enameled
iron with no ornament For tiny chill
dren it should De provided with
muslin valance adjusted around the
top of the frame SO as 10 protect the
little sleeper within from all drafts

CAIRO & NASHVILLE

Reference was made some days ago
to the fact that The Western Union Tel

fact hal one of these wires is to be

JUDGE HARKER PROTESTS.

Friends of Judge Harker in this city
and county have forN some time
past been puzzled. not TO say dlsap-
pointed. by reports that the judge had
fully acquiesed in the somewhat un.
expected turn of events which ended
In the presentation of Judge Vickers MS
the Republican candidate for judge
of the state Supreme Court in this
district, They knew that the Judge
had been very earnest and very honest
In his contention for a popular ex-
preston as to who the Republican can
didate should be, and they knew also
of the seemingly unfair means that
had been employed TO defeat him
and they could not bring themselves
TO feel that he had really been true
to himself and 10 them, ii the report
referred TO were true
And 1t transpires now that the
report was not true. Judge Harker
has not stultified himself, but stands
now where he has always stood. on the
side of the people and against the
party bosses and their work as is evil
