No Desire to Experiment.

African lions are bigger, better look.
Ing and have more decided traits of
character than lions from other quar-
tiers OF the world. At least such Is
the statement Of menagerie man and
we are willing to take his word for It.
He says that no lion will attack a
man unless 1t is made desperate by
hunger or hurt by bad shot A
wild lion will usually look at q man
and then walk away and loave him.
We are willing to add that we would
also look at lion and leave him. The
trainer also states that 1t does not
hurt to be killed by lion. We are
willing to take the word of those peo-
pie. including DR.. Livingstone, who
have tried this anacsthetic. We had
no desire to try the power of the hu-
man eye on the lion and watch for
him to rut his tail between his legs
and stink away. II the lion desires
any part of the desert where We are
stopping it is his. including the sand.

Method In His Friendship.

A young man who was graduated
from the College Of Physicians and
Surgeons as throat specialist began
to cultivate musical people. II don't
care rap about music myself" he
said, but want to. stand In with all
the singing teachers, SO they will send
their pupils 30 me for treatment. Stu
dents Of vocal music always are tink.
ering with their threats. Sometimes
they try to do their own doctoring.
sometimes the teacher prescribes for
them. As rule, however. the teach.
er advises consulting some specialist
whom he happens to know. Consider.
ing the number Of aspirants to music.
al fame that New York holds, it pays
to be the particular friend that stands
in with the instructors. IN. Y. Press.

THE DINING ROOM.
II 10 Generally the Neglected Apart
ment Of the House.

The dining room generally is the ne
elected room SO far as furnishings are.
considered. AS o place to go into at
meal times It is provided with table
and chairs, sideboard and china
closet. The windows are curtained,
the floor Is laid with u rug or carpet.
the wall is papered. and pictures are
hung. then the room Is thought to be
finished. What are the possibilities
for making this part Of the house
interesting? II we begin when the
plans Of the different rooms are drawn
up by the architect we should put in
a plea for placing the dining room In
position where It will get tho best
morning light, the full sunshine Of
day hours, and the lingering CLEANS
Of sunset. This means an exposure OF
east, south and west; but II this happy
combination is impossible to reach,
then one Of the three may be the sub
stitute. II only a north light, how
ever, is available for the dining room
especial care must be given to the
coloring to make up for its cold out.
look.
One point that should be thought
Of in making new dining room is Its
shape. Long, straight. lines or those
exactly square are almost sure to
create an uninteresting interior unless
helped out by built in furniture or
artistic woodwork. Color effect makes
the quickest appeal to our interest In
any room, and particularly In the
dining room. When furniture is to
be bought for the dining room the
plain oak--called massive-styles In
the various light or dark stains will
be found to give more character than
the ordinary golden or antique oak,
and tables without carved work, rush
seated chairs, and china closets with
latticed panes will make . more
artistic room than the ornate patterns
and snowy effects that cost the same
amount Of money.
The lighting Of the dining room can
be made pleasing feature. or. on the
CONTRARY, most distressing one. The
rival OF q famous beauty, 30 the story
goes. In her endeavor to show the
latter at q disadvantage, invited her
to q magnificent dinner party. and
then placed her near some bright
green candle shades. To sit facing
glare of sunlight will spoil the most
enjoyable meal, and table poorly
lighted will bring equal discomfort
Just the right amount Of light can bt
arranged after little experimenting
with curtains, gas. or electric shades
and all windows should have practice
means for shifting the curtains dur
ing the day, according to the need FOL
more or less light.
