SIMPLICITY AFFECTS TRADE.

German Manufacturers of Elaborate
House Furnishings Are Hard Hit.
The old proverb, tits an i'll wind
that blows nobody good" is just as
true when it is reversed. Few winds
blow so much good that they do not
blow some one i'll. The modern ten
dency toward simplicity in house fur
nishing is one of the most beneficent
things that the world has seen for
some time. Aside from artistic con-
lsiderations, it has banished a host of
disease germs and dust collectors and
lightened the housewives tasks I'M
measurably. But from Germany,
through the report of United States
Consul Thomas ID. Norton to the de-
partment of commerce and labor,
comes a wall from the manufacturers
of the old elaborate furnishings, tho
unspeakable fringes and tassels, gal
looms, ETC., that people used to con-
slider ornamental. Plaster decorators,
wood carvers and turner's have also
suffered from the pr aYalent fashion
for smooth surfaces in furniture and
in decorative architectural surfaces.
The change In public taste is so
marked that it has affected several
welIesCablshed Saxon industries so
severely that the government has felt
compelled to consider the situation,
with view to devising, if possible.
measures of relief. The German min
lister of the interior recently called
upon the Chemnitz chamber of indus
try for a report on the situation, with
recommendations, but the chamber
was unable to suggest anything that
would help the languishing industries,
except change in the character of
their products. The commission APP
pointed by the chamber regretted that
the new movement involved temper
airy loss for group of trades, but
predicted that it would soon offer
work to the operatives now so serious
ly affected. Already it has lifted Ger
man decorative art from condition
of stagnation to a place where it is
able to meet competition in the
worlds markets The commission
was, however, unanimously of the opin-
ion that the tendency toward simple
ity was being overdone and was in
danger of becoming fad, rather than
a genuine, healthy, artistic develop
ment. Symptoms of a reaction are
already visible. There is a lessening
and even articles of furniture and an
increasing number of orders are being
received for the choice grades of silk
stuffs used in upholstery.

: PENeUlns IN A PARK.
Small Flock in New York Geological
South African Species.


South African Species.
A small flock of penguins is now
swimming and diving in their inclos-
ure in the New York Geological park,
having arrived few days ago from
London, says the New York Tribune.
What the seals are to the mammals.
penguins are to the bird world, having
given up flight and taken 20 the
water. Their feathers have lost all
softness and have become small.
horny and in general scalelike. The
wings, in rightly, shape and motion,
have assumed the appearance of
sharks fms. and by means of these
the penguins fly through the water
swiftly enough to oyertake ami can
ture the fish on which they feed.
Their eyes are fiat and fshlike, thus
enabling them to see more distinctly
under the water. Penguins are found
only south of the equator, and the
majority inhabit the frigid antartic
regions.
Penguins of this species. South
African iackass, nest in large colonies
on the coast of South Africa, some
times hundreds together on one
island. In appearance they look, at a
distance, not unlike diminutive human
beings, and their fearlessness of man
makes it seem as if they considered
him as only harmless larger edition
of themselves. Two eggs are laid in
burrow in the sand or among a few
shreds of seaweed The voice of this
bird is a harsh, barking bray-hence
its vulgar name.
In captivity penguins are among
the most amusing OF birds waddIing
Importantly about in a comically hui
man manner, or diving after fish with
wonderful skill and speed. When div
ing they are all seallihe the webbed
feet being laid fiat together and used
like rudder to make quick turns, or to
hold their course straight. When
swimming slowly on the surface they
Lie nat, with the fnlike wings SUBJ
me- ged. No more unbirdlike feath-
cred creatures ever will be seen in
our city, and those which are now liv-
ing IL the Geological park are arous-
ing great deal of interest among
visitors. Two fine specimens are
kept in the great flying cage.

Lats.t for the Watch.

Hang ii from a narrow black velvet
ribbon about half way down the
bodice, Just as locket would be worn.
At first the style looked trife odd,
but people have been accustomed to it
by the gradually increasing size of the
lockets worn. The velvet ribbon is
fitted with rhinestone or cut steel
slides and clasp. There is something
very chic about the decoration and it
adds mighty to the smart girls COS

Errors of Little Women.

Large mushroom hats were there In
great profusion. says an exchange
chronicling a social function, and, sad
TO relate, some of these enormous
cartwheels of straw, bristling with a
whole garden of flowers or a farm
yard OF feathers, were worn by small
women. When the small woman who
had not been endowed with wisdom
had not chosen the wrong hats they
had succeeded in making themselves
grotesque by wearing gowns or &C
cessortes which had been specially
designed to enhance the charms of
their latter sisters.
