DEN MARK.

The following dispatch from Copen-

ment of a question that has created
general interest, and in some places,
anxiety. in the Scandinavian North:
Russia, Germany, Denmark and
Sweden have agreed to the terms OF
convention maintaining the status quo
on the Baltic coasts, and the signing
of the convention is expected without
delay. Sweden and Denmark have ex-
pressed satisfaction with the terms as
finally agreed to, and the Swedish
government is particularly well pleas
ed to have the menace of Russian for
LITIGATION Of the Aaland islands def
nitely disposed of.
n agreement with regard to the
status quo of the North sea is expect
ed to follow soon.
"The relations between Sweden and
Russia. and to a lesser extent Den
mark and Russia, have recently been
strained owing to the inslstence OF
Russia that she be released from the
agreement made when Sweden sur
rendered Finland, that no naval sta
lions or Notifications be established
on the Finnish shores adjacent TO
Sweden. Russia went SO far as to es'
tablish a naval station on the Western
shores OF the Aaland islands, which
are twenty-five miles from the Swed-

to build Notifications there

THE LIVING ROOM.
II Should at All Times Be a "Livable"
Room.

What to do with the living room Is
a 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 Competing, and
indicate a 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 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-
fu!, but they we're 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 aiaDastined wall Is the only
correct form of tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately it 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
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1870.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing color which will reflect the
larges, 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 green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it: browns mod
ifv 1t, 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.

Washington, April 16.-By vote
of 1879 to SO the house of representa-
Gves yesterday decided against the
presidents program for four hattie
ships and adhered to the recommen-
dation of its committee on naval az
fairs for two vessels Of that type.
This reult was reached after debate
which lasted for four hours and was
received with applause. The entire
session was devoted TO a considera-
ton of the navy increase provision of
the naval appropriation bill AS this
increase was provided in the last Sec
tion of the bin the measure was prac.
tically concluded with the disposition
of the provision
Battle Is Hard Fought.
The provision for battleships was
the chief subject of interest, the com
mittee's recommendation for two
ships of that type prevailing by de-
cisive vote after hard fought effort
to increase the number to four.
The increase was opposed by Mr.
Tawney, chairman of the committee
on naval affairs; Mr.. Willetts, a mi
nority leader, and others, and was adj
vocated by MI. Hobson of Alabama,
who declared that in relation TO the
increase of old nations four battle
ships would only keep the American
navy abreast of other great navies.
Longworth Gets Into 1t.
Mr.. Longworth OF Ohio in vigor.
GUS speech told the house that the
president was more interested in this
increase than in any other question
before congress, and as practically all
of them had in the last election de.
clared that they had supported him
this was good opportunity to live up
to that declaration.
An amendment by Mr. Tawney 10
reduce the number of new battleships
to one was voted down by an even
more decided majority than was Mr.
Hobson's proposition for an increase
to four.
Amendments were adopted that one
OF the battleships and one OF the col
licrs shall be built in navy yard.
The bill as it stands authorizes ex.
penditures of $107 S73, 900.
The senate devoted its entire time
yesterday to considering bills on the
calendar. Among the measures pass
ed was one suppressing betting on
races and games Of various kinds in
the District of Columbia.

Dust Broom.

For the stick of the dust broom cut
one from an old broom and pad the
rough end, using a circle of old cloth
about ten inches in diameter and put
a good bit of cotton batting in the cen
ter. Insert the sticks and fasten the
pad firmly on to it with heavy twine.
Take old flannel underwear and cut
into strips u inches wide, Sitting
each strip in twO-inch widths, like
fringe, leaving one and One-half inches
along one edge. Cut enough of these
TO make a good full broom and sew
them to the padding on the stick. Sat.
urate with kerosene oil and allow it to
dry completely before using. This Is
a great improvement over the regula-
ton broom bag" as the strips get
into the corners, around the legs Of
the furniture, etc. The oil takes up
the dust readily and imparts a polish
to the floor

Renewing OiIcIoth.

When OilclOth has been laid for a
few months and is beginning to lose
its shiny surface it can be renewed
and made to lost twice as long. Melt
a little ordinary glue in a pint Of wa
ter, letting it stand on the top of the
oven until it is dissolved. Wash the
oilcloth thoroughly and let it dry. Then
at night, when no one will walk on it,
so over the entire surface carefully
with a flannel dipped into the glue
water. Choose a dry day for doing it,
and by morning you will have a fine
gloss.

RECIPES OF VALUE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONCOCTION
OF EVERYDAY DISHES.
French Method Of Preparing Herring
as a Relish-Menu for Good
Plain Dinner-To Pre-
pare ScalIops.

To prepare herring for a relish in
the French way known as harang saur
marine. choose the dried herring. BTOil
them and remove the skin and bones.
Cut them in neat little strips. Arrange
them in a dish with layers Of sliced or
grated onion. The former looks the
better, but the grated onion seems
more digestible. Dress with oil, vine
gar and pepper. Serve az a relish for
luncheon.
A Plain Soup.-Leeks and potatoes
make a good soup. Choose such a
menu as this for a good plain dinner.
Leek and potato soup, beefstee k,
French fried potatoes, spinach with
hard-boiled eggs and radishes. For
dessert, apple sauce, Swiss cheese and
coffee.
If the cheaper fish must be bought
for baking, such as cod, it may be
much improved by baking it on a bed
of vegetables and laying strips Of ba-
con or unsmOked picked fat pork over
it, basting frequently.
Fflets of fish, nicely fried, may be
served with a brown sauce hot with
curry powder. Large gherkin pickles
may be cut in fan-shaped slices and ar
ranged with lemon slices for a gar
nish, or use sliced lemon with some
chopped parsley sprinkled over it.
How to Prepare SeaIloPs.-Scallops
are a very cheap form of shell-fish, OBJ
tainable in our markets, but more used
by the foreign population, who know
their excellence While they require
careful cleaning in more than one wa
ter, they are then available in many
forms in place of clans and oysters or
fish
They must be steamed in a kettle
with about a pint of water and bOu-
Quet of herbs is desirable. When they
open they can be cooled and the meat
taken out and served in a variety Of
ways. Save the broth in the kettle. A
cBowder can be made in the usual way
by browning. some onion in fat salt

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If the knife and fingers are slightly
buttered when seeding raisins the
work will be robbed of its sickness
and discomfort.
A pinch of salt will make the white
of an egg beat quicker, and a pinch of
bOTaX in cooked starch will make the
clothes sitter and whittier.
Sunshine is destructive to mirrors
Il causes the glass TO assume a milky
appearance. and the mirror will never
be so clear again in spite of whatever
is done to it.
To clean silver trimmings-Cover
the surface with we'll dried and finely
powdered magnesia, and let ii lie for a
couple of hours. Afterward rub in the
powder and brush of with a hard
brush
In ironing the plat of the back Of
a shirtwaist, on which the tiny but
tons are sewed, try laying it on flannel
or a Turkish towel as you do en-
broidery. The buttons sink in and the
material is ironed.
A good homemade cement for
broken cTockeTy is unslacked lime or
plaster Of paris mixed with the white
of an egg to the consistency of cream.
A cement that is practically water
proof is made by dissOlving ordinary
white glue in warm milk.

To Mend a Torn Garment.

When a silk or cloth garment is
torn, procure a few threads of the
warp Of the goods and darn as you
would a stocking. If you have no
pieces from which this may be OBJ
tanned, perhaps there is a straight
edge on one Of the seams from which
a few threads may be taken. In this
way the repair is made of exactly the
same shade as the cIoth.-The De-
lineatOr.
