John DIS EaaIe Stone.

John d. Rockefeller pretends that
he is not and never was superstitious;
still he carries in his pocket an eagle
stone. 1t is a perforated stone of great
antiquity, found in an eagles nest, and
is supposed to be charm against
disease, shipwreck and other dis
asters. 1t is of brownish tint and
about the size of pigeon egg. When
shaken 4. rattles as il another stone
were inclosed within 1t. A ribbon
passed through the perforation is said
to possess more virtues than even
John D. himself. When the old gentle
man wants to confer particular favor
upon some one he gives few inches
of this ribbon.--New York Press.

Henry Grimm, who was formerly

about German friend Of his who
was taken Ill.
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 a desire for
Limburger cheese, and the wife, being
a 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

that the walls and furnishings OF the

In material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis

indicate a higher degree OF taste and
culture than do the colored mon

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'
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring
