IN spite OF the emphatic persistence
with which the cry, Art is one
OF the most powerful factors in
civilization" it is remarkable how
eager everybody seems to avoid any
practical application Of tho maxim.
More particularly can the truth OF
this be perceived when entering the
average schoolroom and nursery. The
sentimentaliSt and the SermoniZer
spend many words in proclaIming the
wonderful influence of the nursery In
producing fine men and women, And
yet there Is comparatively little at
tempt to educate the child Indirectly
by means OF his surroundings.
OF course. many improvements in
this direction have been noticeable
lately. Most nurseries now are at least
more sanitary than they were and the
influence Of the Froebel doctrines has
been felt to considerable advantage,
But In far too many houses one can
still see evidences of the tendency to
send to schoolroom and nursery what
ever furniture Is too old and too ugly
to be used In any other part Of the
house. Presumably We are still far
from tho day when class rooms In the
public schools will be anything else
than hideous and uninspirlng OF aught
but disgust and WEAKNESS. The fact
has not as yet filtered into the minds
Of tho boards Of education that the
chlld's whole view of what he Is set TO
earn. indeed, OF the necessity of learn
Ing anything at all Is tlnged by the
appearance Of tho surroundings in
which the actual studying is done.
But there is no reason why this
should not be counteracted in the
home. In fact. rs most people real
lie, the home must be relied upon to
counteract good deal Of the influence
of the school. especially in tho matter
Of manners. grammar and pronuncia-
ton OF the mothcr-tongue.
1t is fact that tho aesthetic SEN
sibllitles wake early in some children
and the Importance OF having harmo-
nious surroundings cannot be exagger-
ated. Who does not remember the
associations between the appearance of
certain rooms and the daily occupa-
lions connected with them? And who

The Cutting Board.
The last and one OF the most useful
features is the large cutting board, six
feet long and thirty-slX Inches wide,

hinged brackets at tho wall and side
OF the chlhonier. When not In use the
brackets can be folded in and the

II HE model sewlng-room in the city
or country house should be well
lighted and ventilated, and deco
rated In such q manner that,
while the room is well lighted, the
walls are not glaring, but restful to

should be employed, and cream white

cured by using much lighter tone
OF the side wall colorS as a drop Of
eighteen or twenty-four inches from
the ceiling. and then outlining 1t on
the inside with a narrow stencil as a
horizontal panel: then with a lighter
toned ceiling, the barnlikc effect of
height is almost efIaoed. Remember,
as a general principle, white ceilings
add height to your room, and colored
reduce It.
The Hall.
Quite 4 new departure Is the use OF
heavy patterned stencils on the lower
third Of the side wall, especially in
halls where furniture is limited TO a
few chairs and hall tree. The effect
Is excellent and is a decided relief
from the usual treatment. These pat
terms must not all terminate in a
straight line, giving a dado effect

bear It, and the upper portion Of tho
wall should be plain and of warm
color. These patterns are excellent,
because they adjust themselves to
stairs and risers better than any other
form of hall treatment. The dark
stencil coloTs serve to cover the enece
of soil coming from contact OF occa-
sIonal hands or clothing touching the
wall surface.
Warm, rich, sunny tan makes an
excellent hall color for the side wall
and cream for tho ceiling; then work
tho stencil pattern out with dull blue
and q touch of dull red or orange red
and you have a peculiarly good COM
position.
II you have architectural pictures

there a good French print in color.

the ceiling, II 1t can be arranged.
The Treatment Of a Dlning-Room.
The vogue of mahogany for dining
room furniture has naturally deyel-
oped the use of white enamelcd or
painted woodwork as background,

around the room, as we'll as the trim
over doors and windows. Tho wall
surface is treated simply in either q
dull green or soft old blue, and the
colllng Is white. Hang the pictures

large to permit of this, hang from two
wires TO carry out the straight line

use delft blue, In two or three tones,
IL your wall color corresponds; or G.

For the curtains use the charming cre-

When 1t comes to the treatment OF
the bedroom, reStful. quiet simplicity
must prevail. Have soft colors on
walls and ceiling. the rug light in color

Stencils on Curtains and Oraperies.
The use of stencils can bo extended
TO the curtains, table runners, drap-
cries, couch pillows and hassocks with
delightful effect. With the primary
colors OF blue, red and yellow, and the
addition OF white, perfect host of
shades can easily be produced. Add
plenty OF beDzlne TO the oil color,
which should be used so that II will
dry quickly, and then there will be
little danger OF the color running, Cau-
ton must be taken. however. not to
oyerfill the brush, which should be of
good stiff brlstles. Dip 1t lightly into
the paint; try the color and stencil on
some old fabric first, and then. by tho
use of thumb tacks, fasten your stem
ell to the fabric and go over the pat
tern carefully and slowly.

Claimed McGovern, Republic
can Nominee for Gov. Seeks
to Succeed Stephenson
LAFOLLETTE WILL OPPOSE Vim

One of the most interesting phases of
the Republican state situation at the
present time is the interest which is
being exhibited by both the close
friends of F. L. McGovern and of SEN
ator r. NJ. La Toilette ever the United
States senatorial situation in the event
of a vacancy in the near future in the
seat now held by Isaac Stephenson.
There is no question that Mr.. McGov
ern is figuring on this seat and there
is no doubt either that Senator La Fol
lette is figuring on the succession of
Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot of the
Eleventh district to the seat.
In fact, one of the reasons it is said
that the La Toilette leaders were so
insistent that Senator Thomas Morris
should be a, candidate for lieutenant
governor was that should a vacancy oc-
cur in the seat now occupied by SEN
ator Isaac Stephenson during legis-
lative interim that there would not be
a man in the lieutenant governor s
chair who would, if Mr.. McGovern re.
signed for the purpose of becoming
United States senator, aequiesce in
plan by which Mr.. McGovern would re.
sign as governor to be appointed Unit
ed States senator. Senator Morris is a
Lenroot supporter and would, it is said,
never assent to the appointment of Mr..
McGovern as United States senator.
If the vacancy should occur during
a. legislative session there would of
course be a legislative contest and it
is claimed with present Republican
nominees Mr.. McGovern could never
hope to carry legislative contest.

CAN'T USE FERRETs.
State Game Warden Reverses His Rul-

State Game Warden Reverses His Rul-
ing in Regard to Killing Rabbits.
State Game Warden Rickemann has
reversed his ruling in regard to hunting
rabbits with ferrets in Kenosha county
and has served notice that hunters
must not use ferrets for the pursuit of
rabbits in this county. A year ago the
game warden acting on the law which
removed protection from rabbits in the
county declared that ferrets might be
used but this year he has notified the
county clerk that the law in regard to
the use of ferrets must apply in this
as well as in other counties in the state
The game warden has served notice on
deer hunters that the law must be liv,
ed up to to the very letter. In former
years hunters have shipped their deer
by express and followed it. This year
the hunter must accompany the deer
shot by him or the deer will be confs-
Gated by the deputy wame wardens.
It is declared by the state warden that
no exceptions will be made to this rule.

MANY DIED FROM DISEASES
Wisconsin Furnished Fifty-Two Regi-
ments of Infantry and Cavalry and
Many Were Left on the Battle Fields
of South

r. A. Sphinx, city treasurer of Osh-
kosh, who was a member of the Four
teenth Wisconsin Regiment, Volunteer
Infantry, has completed a ,tabulation Of
the Wisconsin infantry and cavalry
regiments which lost over 100 men each
while fighting in battles Of the Civil
war. Fifteen Of the ffty-two Wiscon-
sin regiments lost over 100 men each
and in several of these regiments were
many men who enlisted for service from
this city and who lost their lives on
the battle fields.
But in some cases the loss from dis
ease far exceeded the loss of those
killed In battle. The heaviest losses
suffered by d Wisconsin regiment was
by the Fourth cavalry of which 116
men were killed facing the enemy and
2S4 died from malarial diseases in the
swamps of Louisiana and other south
ern states.
The Sixteenth Wisconsin Infantry
lost 246 men my malarial fever and 147
were killed. The heaviest total loss
sustained by any one Wisconsin regi-
ment was the Seventh infantry. That
total is ATT, Of which 281 were killed,
1S9 died from disease and seven died
as the result Of accidents It may be
interesting to note that the three regi-
ments which sustained losses of over
200 men each, killed by the enemy,
formed part of Gen. Edward Bragg s
famous ''Iron brigade.''
The three Wisconsin regiments in
the brigade were the Second, Sixth and
Seventh. The Second lost 238 men, the
Sixth 243 and the Seventh 2S1, all in
battle, with several hundred more from
disease. The other regiments forming
General Bragg's command were the
Twenty-fourth Michigan infantry and
the Nineteenth Indiana infantry.
The entire complement of Wiscon-
sim military bequest to the nation dur
ing the Civil war were the fifty two
infantry regiments, four regiments of
cavalry, one of heavy artillery which
included 2,1o5 men, thirteen batteries,
of about 100 men each, and one com
pany of Berdan sharpshooters.
The tabulation compiled by Mr..
Sphinx showing the number of each regi-
ment, the number killed, the number
dying from disease and accident and
the totals, follows;

decidedly classy. For the male canine
the tag is of alumirum ard just large
enough to fit on a collar. The tags
for tho females are of brass and of ex-

for the year are perfectly square and
not nearly as attractive as the original
