that the walls and furnishings Of the

Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out Of hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest to the imagination when We
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they. were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wal! paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall IL the only
correct form of a tinted or solid COL

clean way, and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way: the only

which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can

of colors. The color scheme Of q

Big Glaciers.

The big glaciers are among thGHsar
lures which make switzeflha~ + ia
NOUS and attractive to tourists: Tisit-
ing and inspecting these vast aScumu-
l la Of ice are invariably : on the
program Of the more hardy men and
women who seek diversion III that
picturesque country, and along with
mountain climbing give ample oppor-
tunity for adventure and for testing
endurance and skill. Recently fears
have been expressed that the glaciers
would disappear In time, since, az was
alleged, they gave strong evidence of
melting away. But the scientists
have been investigating carefully and
the result is comforting assurance
that the glaciers are all right, and
likely to stay Indefinitely. The ap-
parent changes are explained by the
fact, as alleged, that glacier action is
variable, being subject to periodical
changes which cause the icy masses
to expand and contract at intervals.
The glaciers, say these learned men,
may be 10 extended for a space Of 50
years or SO as to cover ground from
which there had been recession, and
then In turn may show plainly per-
ceptible shrinkage. There is not like
1y to be much variation on the avar-
age. and the glaciers are pretty cor
tain to remain permanent features for
ages to come. The same principle,
says the Troy IN. ~ Times, ap-
plies to some famous glaciers OF the
western hemisphere, including the
mighty Muir glacier of Alaska, and
the world bids fair to remain in pos.
session of the present supply of frigid-
ity. Even the ice trust cannot collar

PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members of tho
German-American society, tells a story
about a German friend of his who
was taken i'll.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after time he
showed improvement in condition.
The doctor told the Germans wife
that her husband might have any
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
. generous woman and pleased at the
improvement, and in order that her
husband might have nibble at any
time he had a taste for it, put some
cheese in every room in the house.
1t is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house. and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
when did he die?"-Hartford Post.

BREAKS HOG RECORD
Sixty Head Averaging More
Than 386 Pounds Were
Sold on the Market.
OFF FARM OF JOHN JACKSON

Cambridge City, Ind, Jan. o.--The
finest lot of hogs that has been sold
in this part of the state this season,
came from the farm of John Jackson,
in Washington township, and were
delivered to Henry Hartman at Ger
mantown. They comprised 60 head
and the average weight was 3SG
pounds. This is good weight for
aged hogs, but is all the more remark
able for the reason that these hogs
were ten months and less in age. To
be precise, 4S head were ten months
old and II head were eight months old
Albert Sarver. who has charge of the
farm. deserves much credit for his part
of the work. These pigs came from
pure bred Duroc sows, topped by a
pure bred Poland China hog. The
price Of these hogs was S4.JO and the
weighing was done on the farm Mr.
Jackson has his farm in the best con
ditiOn for grain and stock, and it isn't
much trouble for good farmer like
Mr.. Sarver to get results. Nothing
has been spared to make the soil fer
