THE LIVING ROOM.
Il Should at All Times Be . "LlvabIs"
Room.

What to do with the living room is
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 1t 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 a
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 a tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way. and more fortunately 1t 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 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 green's absorb the light:
light yellows reflect It: browns mod
ify It. and so on. through the scale
OF colors. The color scheme OF .
room not only Is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but 1t is also
dependent upon the light OF the room.

THE PAINTING SEASON.

Good results in painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead The liquid part
should be Linseed OIL Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece Of
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II it Is pure
White Lead. little drops Of bright pure
tience the White Lead. can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead Is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens OF other 30
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one OF them to lead. II they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue. 1t is clear that some
adulterant is present.
II You should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, 1t would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company. Wood
bridge Building. New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done.
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With 1t will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty OF pure White Lead.

Prisoner Had to Have That, Though
He Went Without luxuries.

A certain prisoner landed in jail al
most penniless. He was a man who
had figured in number of the towns
shady transactions and his name was
pretty well known. A few days after
his Incarceration he wrote to a friend
asking for monthly allowance of ten
dollars to be continued during his
term of Imprisonment. The friend. re-
membering past favors. remttted the
amount each month during a period
that covered two trials and the long
time Intervening. One day II occurred
to him to inquire into the manner OF
expendihg the allowance. He sup

COFFEE EYES.

The curious effect Of slow daily pol

disease as result, Is shown in num-
bers OF cases where the eyes are af-

A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego. Mont. expert

upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light. so
vivid that nothing else could be seen

She says:
This gradual failure Of sight
alarmed me and naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form. and while I didn't believe that
coffee was the cause OF my trouble,

"A young woman came to our city

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

Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members Of the
German-American society, tells story
about a 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 a nibble at any
time he had 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
