years. This WAS the case with Mr..

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

The dearest, daintiest, most artistic
wall is 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.
The solid colored wall is also much
better as 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 a wall
the more artistic it is.
The most successful form of the
solid colored wall is an alabastined
wall There is as much difference he
tween tinted walls. as there is be-
tween shoddy and allwool gowns. The
shoddy gown holds its color for few
days. while the all-wool 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 off. never fakes nor chips
off and is always ready for fresh
coat If there is wallpaper on the
wall. soak it off 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 IN
clean foundation. If there are any
particles OF foreign matter adhering
to the wall scrape them off with
putty knife. Then if there are any
discolorations on the wall. size it with
Il material made from cheap varnish,
thinned down with benzine and japan
added for drier. then cover your
wall with your tintinS material.
Be sure your man uses tinting ma.
teral mixed with cold water. II 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 goinC to
have shoddy wall for glue means
shoddy Glue means that It will hold
its color long enough for the man to
collect his bill and not much longer.
Insist on your tint!ng 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. sauitary wall. A wall
that will be thing of beauty and a
JOY forever

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

IN a 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" Of
it was made:
Cousin sent from Boston yesterday
by trusty messenger a 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 a
pleasant. spicy taste.
We have just had tid!ngs that
Cousin Nat and his friend. Captain
Morris, intend TO arrive here on the
31st of December Uncle Nathaniel
says We will have tea party to sit
the old year out and the new year in.
We cooked a beautiful dinner and
blue gown with some lace in the neck
and tied back my cur!s.
Aunt Content has been much pes
tered in her mind because she knew
not how to cook the tea and serve it,
and after our neighbors had arrived
she contided 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 a lady in Boston who
haG drunk tea told her that it needed
good quantity of sleeping. which
was the reason il 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 it over the fire to boil.
when was laying the table
heard Lydia Ann say. / heard that
when tea is drunk it gives bril-.
liancy to the eyes and youthful
freshness to the complexion. | am
afraid that thy sister-in-law failed to
put in a sufficient quantity
SO Aunt Esther put another bowl
full of the tea into the kettle.
When the tea had boiled about an
hour, down TO a gallon, it was poured
into grandma's silver tankard. and car
ried to the table. Aunt Content said
TO her son and his friend. 1 have
made a dish of tea for you. but am
fearful that have not prepared it as
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 "A
spoonful OF this would nearly kill any
one Of us here at table.
THE captain then said he would
instruct me how TO draw the tea.
And this young lady he said, shall
make the first dish of the beverage
used in Nantucket"

Stood the Test.

Allcock's Plasters have successfully
stood the test of sixty years use by
the public; their virtues have never
peen equaled by the unscrupulous i'm
itators wlo'have sought to trade upon
their reputation by making plasters
with holes in them. and claiming them
to be Just as good as Allcocks."
Allcock's plasters stand to-day in
dorsed by not only the highest medical
authorities, but by millions of grateful
patients who have proved their efIi-
cacy as household remedy.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear

can be entirely overcome by using De-

NO LICENSES
TO SELL BOOZE
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS CON-
TINUES THE TURNING DOWN OF
SALOON APPLICATIONS.

The wouldbe liquor dealers whose
a public hearing before the Board of
License Commissioners yesterday aft
ernoon, were turned down cold with
but little ceremony by the license
body, after the attorneys for the four
applicants had made their little speech
eS.
Wong Chung Lung wanted a license
for a saloon at lila Maunakea street.
Formerly he had been refused a license
at Hotel and Kekaulike streets, and
this is a second throw down for him.
Pang Lum Now, who like Wong
Ching Lung had formerly been saloon
lists in the tabued Fishmarket district,
was also refused a permit to do bust
ness at Hotel and Maunakea streets.
Loo Coon wanted to open saloon
in Harry Juen's old place at King and
Beretania streets, but he also got the
frosty nit from the commission.
The fourth applicant was a Jap,
lbAllO 4NloLlOhclJ WIZ WdulSu W Op6n
a wholesale business at Aiea, but the
board couldn't see it that way.
A. M. Brown, Colin Campbell, P. H.
Brunette, and A. G. NJ Robinson were
attorneys who presented the cases to
the board and plead for their clients in
eloquent phrases. but their efforts
awaited not, and their arguments fell
upon unresponsive ears. 1t only took a
little bit of secret session work to re-
turn the verdicts as stated above.
A final decision on the case of Fred
Kiley's application was postponed un-
til tomorrow, although Kiley's bar
tender appeared for his employer and
begged until the SOth inst in order that
Kiley might have time to get home
from the coast. Under the law, how
ever, decision must be rendered in
ten days after the public hearing, and
hence the request could not be granted
