An Effective Room Decoration.

Not every girl is so fortunate as to
have large room for herself, and
especially If she be of large family
her own private room may be very
small indeed, and 1t Is then that all a
girls ingenuity is brought into full
play so that the best possible effect
may be obtained In limited space.
Nothing so reflects girls character
and personality as her own bedroom
or boudoir. First of all, an outsider
can tell whether the girl is naturally
neat or given to shiftlessness. The
books first and then the pictures on
the wall show What sort Of things most
appeal to her, whether she Is frivolous
or perhaps too serious minded, and
even the wall paper reflects the natu-
raj characteristics to certain extent,
for bright pink room with rose color
abounding everywhere must needs be-
long to Il sunny, happy disposition,
while soft green paper relieved by
a note of pink or yellow In the border
and hangings is said to portray char
acter fond Of quiet and intellectual
pursuits.
1t is of course far easier to make a
large room bright and attractive than
a small one, but If the wall paper Is
carefully selected, of a pattern that
tends to give the effect Of space behind
the design, and if the hangings carry
out the exact design and color or the
paper considerable size is added to the
room. A striped paper, for example,

less there is deep flower border 10
shorten and widen the effect, while
small design in tiny flowers or spray
is better in small than large room.
For an extremely tiny room plain
paper-mo oire or cartridge-is best, with
the curtains and chair coverings of the
same shade in chintz or of bright
lowered chintz matching the border
Of the paper.
The glazed English chintzes are de-
cidelly fashionable at the moment, ana
sertainly they do tend to brighten
room even more than the American
ana French chintz, with its soft, dull
surface. In selecting the hangings as
well as the paper for room there IL
much to be taken into consideration
beyopd the mere choosing of an attrac'
tive pattern or pretty shade OF color

had noticed no appreciable decrease in the number of mink taken in his traps during the last 10 years. Dur ing that period his catch had aver aged about 30 mink to a season, ap- proximately nine weeks, from Novem- Der 1 to the first week in January, when the animals fur is at its best. These results were obtained by the operation of some 200 traps.
 Not more than half of the wild animals in locality are ever caught" said the old guide. Their native cunning teaches them how to avoid the traps set for their destruc- tion, so that while an abundant sup ply of food exists, there will always remain a substantial nucleus for breeding purposes. and no anxiety need be felt that there will be any im- mediate change from the conditions that have existed for severval years" Y"
 Nevertheless, under the stimulus of the tremendous advance in the value of the skins, made possible by the fashionable craze for their display, the time may not be far distant when one of the most interesting. if pernicious, native animals, will dis appear forever.

long, which were accepted by his par ty as practical, convenient and Eeces- sary, and which were really the basis of his long-continued success. His colleague. Mir Depew, accepted thc same political code and was a prof. cient practitioner in the same school his rival, Mir Odell, whose personal morals are entirely respectable so far as we ever heard, we take to be equipped with quite as forlorn an out fit of political morals as Mir Platt.
 There is no use of retiring Mir Platt from the senate until New York state gets ready to replace him with a sen ator of radically different type, inten- ton and character. Governor Hughes is such a man. Mir Choate is such a man. There are plenty of them, and in both parties, if they are wanted. But are they wanted? Suppose Corners and Murphy controlled the legislature in the name of the demo- crats, as they do control the state democratic organization. Would they send anybody to the senate whose political morals would be radically different from Mir Platt's? Would the republican machine send any one whom New York would be proud of?
 Mir Platt is a good example of the kind of statesman that such political conditions as have fiourished in New York state for the last quarter-cen- tury have produced. lie is very use full where he is. Let him stick there. Life.

THE MINK IN CAPTIVITY.
Interesting Notes Concerning a Fur bearing Animal.

Though some authorities have con- tended that the mink can easily be tanned if taken early, one experience resulted differently. This particular animal was about six months old and had been taken in trap. In its att tempts to escape it had broken it's leg. It was taken home, the leg was carefully set, and every effort was made to win the animals conf dence. But while 1t grew, its fierce ness became more pronounced, and finally it became so savage that it had to be killed.
 His diet consisted for the most part of frogs and fish, varied by fresh water mussels, clans and oysters, all of which he ate with greedy relish. Live mice were also fed him by vis- itors, but the practice was drowned upon.
 At an early stage of his confine- ment he exhibited numerous kitten ish traits. When he thought himself unobserved, he would chase his tail round and round in dizzy whirl, ut tering at the same time a peculiar whining sound. Upon the approach of a visitor he would frequently roll himself into a glossy brown ball, and bury his head in its depths. To the roof of his wire cage was suspended a string to which was attached a spool. He would roll over and over with the spool clasped between his paws, biting and snapping at it and tossing it in the air like a playful kitten.
 Under excellent treatment the anil nal developed a beautiful coat of fur of a dark brown color. soft and silky. with undulating waves of a lighter shade of brown running through 1t.
 The shTewdness displayed by the mink in matching instinct with the intelligence of man is illustrated by the following incident: A few hum dred yards in the rear of house oc- eupied by two young men with the trapping habit. ran a narrow stream. Here mink had been seen, and to ef- feet their capture carefully concealed traps were placed at frequent inter vals along the banks. Throughout the fall and an unusually severe win- ..sr the traps were visited daily. their places often changed. and every hole that gave promise of possible refuge carefully baited. but without success Ehe mink were often seen but refused to be caught
