Rome, Oct. o4.-The earth shocks which
were felt throughout Calabria yesterday
caused considerable damage, destroying
two villages, but SO far only 10 lives were
lost 1t was raining in torrents, caus-
ing much suffering among the homeless
people.
The cathedral at Tore Di Gerace was
thrown down, as was an ancient tower
which had withstood all the Calabrian
earthquakes for centuries past.
The troops sent with the relief trains
to the scene Of the disaster had a
calming effect on the population.
The shock was especially severe in
the southern end Of the peninsula.
Half the houses at Ferruzzano and
Brancaleone. collapsed and number
of people were buried in the ruins. At
Sinapoli and st. Llario, number Of
people were buried and everywhere
panic prevailed. Other towns suffered,
but not severely.
A special dispatch to the Tribune
says that 100 persons lost their lives in
the commune of Ferrazzano. but there
is no confirmation at present of the re-
port.

PANELS IN WALL PAPER.
The Newest Methods In House pseora-
tons.

El1c Newest Methods IN HOUSE Dec0fa~
tons.
Pane1ed walls were never considered
smarter than now nor more practical
for the average fat or apartment. for
housewives. especially the progressive
ones, realize that walls SO decorated
make room much more attractive
than papers with crowns or borders
and, incidentally, that richer effects for
less money are possible.
There is another desirable feature to
panels that thoughtful women have
discovered, and that is with the walls
broken in this fashion room requires
comparatively few pictures. for the
panels are decoration in themselves,
and II expensive paper is used an etch-
ing or an oil painting is really out of
place for there is no background to
show it to advantage, and, moreover,
it actually detracts from the effective
ness OF the panel by breaking the lines.
Panels" says a well known deco
rator, "are always effective If made
even from plain papers, but the most
attractive methods are worked out by
combining plain background with
striped. floral or scroll panels.
ITO panel walls, the latter are first
covered with paper, preferably plain,
from the dashboard to the ceiling, and
on this the panels are laid. These
pieces, contrary to the opinion of
many, are not sold in shapes ready to
put on, but by the roll, and are cut
any width or length desired. As
rule, panels are not placed more than
twelve inches above the Dashboard and
extend to within eighteen or twenty
four inches Of the ceiling, thus making
of the background frieze at the top
and dado at the bottom. The dis
tances between panels depend upon the
wall space, for they may be either wide
or narrow.
III the panels are either wider or
narrower than the width of roll,
which runs from twenty-seven to thIr-
ty inches wide, considerable paper Is
wasted, which makes this style Of dec
Grating more expensive than the old
style, but the panels, If desired, may
be made narrow-just the width of the
paper or wide enough to take two
widths.
Panels set on backgrounds naturally
need q finish to cover the raw edges
where the two meet, and for this pur-
pose bands of paper resembling mold
ings are used. These bands or binders
do not come ready to hang, but must
be cut from regulation frieze paper of
design that has stripes suitable for
outlining panels. Some border papers
have two stripes, while others have
three or five. that may be cut out and
used as molding for panels"

POWDER DROPS ON BRUsn.

tooth powder on TO the toothbrush
The tooth powder is placed in the re-
ceptacle through an opening in the top.
Within the receptacle are rolls of pa
per which agitate the tooth powder and
carry it to an opening in the bottom Of
the receptacle. This opening is the
same size as the bristles of the brush
the latter being held in place by a
clamp. After placing the brush In po-
sitIon a small lever is operated to move
the paper roll to bring the exact
amount OF powder desired on to the
brush. The powder Is deposited on
the bristles of the brush, the roll scrv.
ing also to close the opening against
further discharge. The brush is readi-
Iy removed and the powder applied TO
the teeth This contrivance does away
with the necessity of depositing the
powder in the palm of the hand, the re-
source commonly resorted to.

TIE Two Cent Rate In Practice.
It Is probably fortunate that there =
a difference in opinion as to the advis-
ability Of making a fiat two cent rate
Of fare on all the passenger railroads
Of the country. Local conditions vary
widely. according to density Of popula-
ton, closeness of competition In the
territory and other factors in opera
ton. A rate which is profitable and
even increases business by its cheap
ness in a populous region may be un-
fair and unbusinesslike in q district
less favored.
It is being argued that the two cent
rate long In existence on the New York
Central road has built up thriving
cities along the line. But this road al
ways had a very profitable carrying
business between the lakes and sea-
board to even up its low passenger
rates. What Is wanted Is a rate to en-
able the operating companies to live
and increase their facilities for serving
the public. Rate regulation should be
dealt with after due Investigation Of
the needs and conditions in any par
ticular stretch of country involved.
