Another Instance of where that old saw
 "lt is an Nl wind that does not blow somebody good" proves true. glance nt the columns of the newspapers Of the large cities. whether they be in the North. East. South or West, shows a most surprising activity in reulty circles and trading ln this line is not only active but in great volume. As difficult as 1t may prove for the more skeptical to ac- cept this statement without the proverhlal grain of salt, it is nevertheless true Building materials Of every description have been at almost prohibltive prices for a year or more. and this more than any thing else has checked operations of great magnitude or quantity. There has been a marked decrease in the prices of these lines of late, and this may in a measure account for the big transactions now scheduled. Architects all over the country report business as heavy. and many maIn- tain that they have more plans on hand to perfect and complete before spring opens than they have had in years.
 Real estate exchanges Of the large cities are daily posting a volume of trans fers, and more especially does the activ- ity affect suburban parcels. There Is a tremendous boom. which clearly indicates that confidence in the nations future is slowly but surely returning, and with the opening or sprlng the ground VIII De broken for more new structures than in any year previous for the past decade One noticeable feature about the boom In realty about New York Is reflected through the avalanche of 60 and 90-day notices that have been received by the savings institutions. In almost every h. stance the deposltors' notice has been ac- companled by the announcement that he Is withdrawing his savings that he might invest them in a building enterprise, and with the almost never ceasing demand for dwellings within a half-hour's ride of Wall Street. it Is reasonable to suppose that the investor is making a wise move. The rush to the suburbs was never so great. and each year the man whose busi- ness calls him to the large cities the de- sire to hurry home to some green spot in- stead of the stufry downtown apartment Is on the increase.

How to Take Care of Paste Jewels.

IL is familiar fact that the owners of valuable gems have reproductions of them made In paste 10 protect the orig .nuls from theft or loss. Some of these reproductions arc so exact that even experts cannot distinguish them from tue originals without ths aid of chemicals.
 Perhaps diamonds are the oftenest ini- tated. Many of them are made of paste. and others known as rhinestones iind extensive use In eardrOps. pins. clasps, brooches. combs and many other such articles. The task for the womeh who wear this jewelry Is to clean il without destroying the original luster. Very few know how to do this properly. but discard the gems when they have become soiled.
 There Is nothing that will restore rhine stones that have lost their luster and br!,liancy. but there are means of pre veUting the loss of these essential quali- ties. To do this make ready a warm water bath. taking care that the lialId is free from any gritty sediment. Im- merse the jewelry for two minutes. then remove and scrub with a stiH brush.
 After this p!unge the pieces into bowl Of clean water 10 rinse the soap of. and then set them In a little jewellers sawdust. which may be had at any jew eler's. and allow them to He in 1t for half an hour, or until me dust has ab

for highly polished wood.
 The curtains for the room should hang within the frame of the window and be of either some soft oriental silk or of Arabian net.
 Gorgeous fabrics are to he had In these yellow tones. but the trouble with most of them Is that they are altogether too rich for ordinary purposes. The color found in raw SIX Is admirable for covering loose cushions. and the silk Is not at all expensive. Another silk that has an ori- ental effect has the yellow combined with q great deal Of blue.
 Pictures and ornaments Of a certain sort are needed in yellow room. It is well to exclude everything that is not of brown. blre or yellow. Pictures should he of dark tones and with dark frames and no white mats. The yellow wall makes a beautiful background for blue china or for the ir.descent blue glass of some of the Japanese wares
 Yellow !n combination with green Is particularly effective for a mans bed room. \ Fighter yellow k the hes, for this purpose. and the green ~hnuld be Of a medium toue. rather grayish. One very sucrscsful treatment Is 10 carry dado of gray green huriap little more than half way np ,he wall. finishing it with a shelf of stained wood. rather narrow one Is best. filling the space above with clear. light yellow.

Yellow. as the prevailing color of a room. requires strong contrast to bring out it's best points. As it reflects light 10 considerable degree, 1t Is apt to be glaring in any but a shady room. with east or west exposure. where the sun slaEts in warmly. but does not strike di- rectly. Then. too. only one shade of vel low can be used successfully In the room. as yellow ls not capable of tue subtle Sradations of color possible with other colors. and when used successfully it Is always fiatly treated.
 For these reasons use dark wood work, either black. deep brown. mahogany or dull green The best way to choose the right shade is 10 get 2 sample of yellow furniture h.ocade and ma;ch It as nearly as posSlhir.

Wide comment was made by ihe news papers of the country at large when. a day or two prior 10 the Christmas re- cess, Representatives John Sharp VII Hams and David 4. DeA-mond came to blows. In fact. the fashion for this pro- cedure was set by Repre- entatives Lyon and Griswold. of Vermont and Connectl- cut. respectively, on January %. 170S. when the former was unmerclfully beaten over the head with a cane in the hands of the latter after Lyon had spat in Gris- woid's face. In 1856 Senator Cha les Sumner was the recipient Of a tremend- ous hogging at the hands of Representa- tive Prescott s. Brooks. of South Caro- lima This encounter created furore in the House. and Is always revived follow ing any uupleasnntness ln that body. An other instance ot where a SOutherner and a Northerner ciashed was the encounter between Galusha A. Grow. of Pennsyl- vanin. and Congressman keitt, of South Carolina Tn this fight several other members became involved. and a free scuffie ensued. MT.

 Waugh. of Indiana. and Turpin, of Ala bama. indulged in a free fight on the floor of the House on February 1d 1893. Peace was restored only after the dimin- utive sergeant-at-arms was dragged into the House clutching the heavily silver mounted mace
 Five years later. on April 13. when the Cuban war was under discussion, spat occurred between Representatives Bart lett and Brumm. Bartlett hurled q heav- fly bound volume of the Congressional Record at the head Of the offending Brumm. and peace was only restored after heroic tactics were brought into play.
 The first exchange of blows on the open floor of the Senate was between Tillman and MacLauren, both of South Carolina. MacLauren characterized a statement previously made by Ttllman as a ''dellb- crate and wilful lie," whereupon Till man struck him crushing blow in the face. Both members were voted in con- tempt by their colleagues. This occurred on February 22, and a very few months later Senators Beyeridge and Joe Bailey
