THE LIVING ROOM.
It Should at All Times Be q "LivabIe"
Room.

What to do with the living room is
q problem that confronts every house
keeper The living room should be
In fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t Is the room
In which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
In material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up
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 wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall Is the only
correct form Of tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it Is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
reflect $3.50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use of darker
colors. Dark greens absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify it, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme of a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light Of the room.

the city contained a very large number

'repeaters,' and that the time of the

vored undesirable citizenship; every turn
presented fragrant violations of the law;
the tumble.down stairways, the defec-

all suggested that laws were not made
to be enforced.

Dancing for Salmon-words TO Be
Avoided When Batting a Hook.

Avoided When Batting a Hook
In British Columbia the Indians eere.
moniously went to meet the first salmon
and in tlattering voices tried TO win
their favor by calling them all chiefs.
Every spring in California the Karaka
used 10 dance for salmon, Meanwhile
one OF their number secluded himself in
the mountains and tasted for ten days,
Upon his return he solemnly approached
the river, took the first salmon Of the
catch, ate some OF IL and with the re.
mainder lighted sacrihcial lire. The
same Indians laboriously climbed to the
mountain top after the poles for the
spearing booth, being convinced that II
they were gathered where the salmon
were watching no fish would be caught.
Very widespread, in fact, is this ma.
tive belief OF the necessity OF caution
whenever Adam is on fishing bent.
In Japan among the primitive race Of
the Amos even the women left at home
at not allowed TO talk lest the fish may
hear and disaprpove, while the first hsn
is always brought in through a window
instead OF door so the other fish may
not see.
The Eskimo women Of Alaska never
sew while the men are fishing, and
shouA any mending be imperative they
do il shut up in little tents out OF sight
OF the sea.
Under no circumstances on the north
east coast OF Scotland will fisherman
at sea mention certain objects on land,
such as minister" kirk" Swine"
dog etc, and the line will surely be
lost if pig is seen while batting il.
As on the land chickens must not be
counted until they are Matched, so at
sea fish must not be counted until they
are all caught. II is good luck to find
mice nbblng among the nets; horse.

It was always the custom OF the Ma
oris, the primitive inhabitants OF New
Zealand, to put the first fish that they
caught back into the sea with a prayer
that it might tempt cher fish TO come
and be caught
If the lisa did not come soon enough

to employ a wizard, who made an image
of a swimming fish and put it in the
