THE ARTISTIC WALL.
One Of Solid Color Will Always Give
Best Effect.

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is a solid colored wall. 1t fur
nishes a perfect background for all
kinds of pictures, it throws them out
in their correct proportions, and does
not detract from their artistic value.
TIE solid colored wall is also much
better as a background for furniture,
and harmonizes much more artistical-
ly with carpets and rugs than any
other method of wall treatment. The
less breaking up of color on wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall. There is as much difference be-
tween tinted walls, as there is be-
tween shoddy and Atwood gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for few
days, while the Atwood keeps its color
to the very last thread. so also in solid
colored walls, there are shoddy walls
and permanently colored walls which
retain their color down to the very
last particle. The ideal wall coating
never rubs OF, never fakes nor chips
of and is always ready for a fresh
coat II there is wallpaper on the
wall, soak it of with warm water,
then go over the plaster after you
have removed the paper with warm
water to remove every trace of paste.
Have the wall thoroughly clean for a
clean wall cannot be built on an un-
clean foundation. II there are any
particles of foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them of with a
putty knife. Then If there are any
discolorations on the wall, size it with
a material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for a drier, then cover your
wall with your tinting material.
Be sure your man uses tinting ma
terial mixed with cold water. If he
comes to you and asks for warm wa
ter, you can make up your mind that
there is glue In the material which he
proposes to put on your wall, and you
can be certain that you are going to
have a shoddy wall, for glue means
shoddy. Glue means that it will hold
it's color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
| Insist on your tinting material being
| mixed with clear, cold water. Be sure
that your wall is made from pure ma
terials, then you will have a perma
nent, artistic, sanitary wall. A wall
that will be a thing of beauty and q
| Joy forever"

How Gov. eodweIl Won.

Samuel w. Matthews, who has been
chief of the Maine bureau Of industrial
statistics since its establishment back
in the SOS, and who has held several
other Offices of trust, is very fluent
and impressive speaker.
In 1886, when there was close con-
test for the Republican nomination
for governor between DR.. Hamlin Of
Bangor and Joseph r. Bodwell Of Hal
lowell, Mr.. Matthews espoused the
cause of the latter, and at the con-
vention made a speech which brought
no little credit to himself.
Mr.. Bodwell had been spoken Of as
. man with but limited education.
Mr.. Matthews referred to this "soath-
ing criticism" in his nominating
speech. and said:
1T may be true that Mr.. Bodwell
IL not a highly educated man. but
he has shown conclusively that he
knows how to make his mark"
As Mr.. Bodwell was one Of the
must successful business men in the
state, this allusion brought down the
convention, and many thought it was
the means Of nominating Mr.. Bod.

THEIR FIRST DISH or TEA.
When the Beverage Was New to the
Good Folks Of Nantucket.

In letter written 100 years ago,
says The Epicure, there appeared this
description of how the first chest of
tea was received on the island of Nan
tucket, and of how the first dish" CT
II was made:
Cousin sent from Boston yesterday
by trusty, messenger large box of
tea, the first that was ever on the
island, real Chinese tea. which Nat
himself procured in China. 1t is of a
greenish color. with little shriveled
leaves. and when eaten dry has q
pleasant, spicy taste.
We have just had tidings that
Cousin Nat and his friend, Captain
Morris. intend to arrive here on the
31st Of December. Uncle Nathaniel
says We will have a tea party to cit
the old year out and the new year in.
I'VE cooked a beautiful dinner and
our guests all came. I wore my new
blue gown with some lace in the neck
and tied back my curls.
Aunt Content has been much pes
tered In her mind because she knew
not how to cook the tea and serve 1t,
and after our neighbors had arrived
she confided to them her perplexity.
MRS. Lieutenant Macy said she had
heard that it ought to be well cooked
to be palatable, and Aunt Edward
Starbuck said lady in Boston who
had drunk tea told her that 1t needed
. good quantity of sleeping, which
was the reason 1t was so expensive.
So Aunt Content hung the bright FIVE
gallon bell metal kettle on the crane.
and putting a two-quart bowl full Of
tea into it. with plenty Of water,
swung 1t over the fire to boil.
when / was laying the table
heard Lydia Ann say, I heard that
when tea is drunk 1t gives a bril-
liancy to the eyes and q youthful
freshness to the complexion. I am
afraid that thy sister-in-law failed to
put in a sufficient quantity
so Aunt Esther put another bow
full of the tea into the kettle.
When the tea had boiled about ar
hour, down to a gallon, 1t was poured
into grandma's silver tankard, and car
ried to the table. Aunt Content said
to her son and his friend, I have
made . dish of tea for you, but an
fearful that have not prepared it al
hath need, and would like your opin
ion.'
''Whereupon my cousin looked and
shifted at the tea, and made answer
"'As my loved mother desired my
opinion, must needs tell her that

FOOLED THE PREACHER.
A Doctors Brother Thought Postum
Was Coffee.

A wise doctor found out coffee was
hurting him, SO he quit drinking it.
He was so busy with his practice,
however. that his wife had to write
how he fooled his brother, a clergy
man, one day at dinner. She says:
Doctor found coffee was injuring
him and decided to give Postum a
trial, and we have used it now for
four years, with continued benefit. In
fact, he is now free from the long
train of ills that follow coffee drink
ing.
ITO show how successful we are
in making Postum properly l will re-
late an incident. At dinner we
gave, Doctor suggested we serve
Postum instead of ordinary coffee.
Doctors brother. Clergyman, sup
posed 1t was old fashioned coffee and
remarked, as he called for his Sec
ond cup: II you do preach against
coffee, 1 see you haven't forgotten how
to make it.
This goes to show that well-made--
fully boiled-Postum has much the
flavor and richness of good coffee al.
though 1t has an individuality all its
own. A ten days trial win prove that
it has none of the poisonous effect OF
ordinary coffee, but will correct the
troubles caused by coffee. There's .
