White paint and enamel should be
used with a generous hand. Dark
woodwork should not be tolerated and
dull or gloomy paper should be avoid

sunny yellow hue, put up only curtains
of thin net and decorate your walls
with pictures framed in white and
gold and silver gray frames.
Many mirrors, if possible. should be
used. for they aid wonderfully in
Frightening a dark room, but they
must not be hung too high, as they
will only reflect the ceiling. while they
should catch the cheerful flame OF an

INTERCHANGE OF GRIM WIT
How General Sherman and Colonel
Watts Exchanged Flowers and
Newspapers at Vlcksburq.

An interchange of grim wit between
General Sherman and a Confederate
colonel before the taking of Vicks-
burg, which surrendered July 4, 1863,
is remembered in detail by one of the
persons present at the interview, Col.
H. r. Brinkerhoff, U. S. A, retired,
and late military treasurer of Porto
Rico, who was at that time a lieu
tenant in an Ohio volunteer regiment.
The incident, which he tells as fol-
lows, took place on the Mississippi
river a short distance above Vicks-
burg:
Il received permission to accompany
General Sherman to meeting of the
flags that had been arranged for a
certain hour. Our vessel steamed rap
idly down the river from Young's
point, where our boats lay. We flew
a great white flag at the masthead.
The vessel soon reached a point al
most opposite the upper shore batteries
and J had begun to indulge the hope
that we would be permitted to steam
down far enough to get look at the
city, when suddenly a little cloud OF
white smoke curled up over one of the
rebel batteries and directly afterward
the boom of a heavy gun came thun-
dering over the water We stopped
and a rowboat came out from shore,
bringing our visitors. Colonel Watts.
the Confederate assistant commission
er of exchange, and an artillery Off
Ger.
After some business conversation
concerning the exchange of prisoners
the entire party entered into general
conversation. Colonel Watts and Gen
eral Sherman discussed the probable
results of the war. The discussion
became heated and Colonel Watts
changed the subject by opening a
package that he had brought with him
and exposing to view a magnificent
bouquet of flowers.
""There!' he exclaimed General
Pemberton told me to give you these
flowers with his kind regards
General Sherman fastened to take
the bouquet and at once made an inn
mense ado over it and held it in his
hand until the visitors had taken their
departure. In return, package of
newspapers was given to the Confed-
crate officer.

CANTILLON is TRICKED
Washington Manager Fooled at
His Own Game.
Eievates Pitchers Box So That White
Sox TwirIers Couldn't Get Ball
Over PIate-Comiskey
Lowers His.

Long ago, when the world was
young" says Joe Cantillon, once man.
ager of Washington, Charlie Comis-
key and l were running rival teams in
the old Western league, and what we
didn't plan in the way of jobs and
tricks upon each other wasn't worth
putting in the Book of Frauds. | al
ways figured the great-hearted Comis-
key as my legitimate meat, and he
soon learned few things on his own
account, so that the score was kept
fairly even as the days went by.
One time, when Commys team
was slated for a series on my grounds,
a really great idea struck me. In
those days there were no rules re-
stricting the height of the pitching
mound, and some awful elevations
were constructed round the circuit.
resolved on making hill such as no
pitcher ever used before, and | made
it, too The ground-keeper at my park
built up a mountain, and | trained my
hurlerS on that mountain every morn
ing for four days. When Comiskey's
gang arrived they were dumfounded to
see that Mount Whitney of pitching
hill, towering up above the diamond,
and with my pitchers grinning down at
them. But they kicked in vain; there
was no rule to stop me, and the game
began. For three days we had rich
fun with Commy's men. My pitchers
sent the ball swooping downward with
a speed and an angle of direction that
they couldn't touch, while Commy's
pitchers, unused to such an altitude,
were helpless, hitting the batters on
the feet and rebounding the ball from
the turf for wild pitches
I'VE arrived in Comiskey's burg two
weeks later, and l felt pretty sure
that we had cinch. No matter how
the old Roman might elevate his
pitching mound, he couldn't fool us,
for my pitchers were all trained to
the hill work, and could not be ratified
or put to the bad, even if they were
asked to throw from the summit OF
steeple. But when we got to Commy's
field we let go one long, lingering yell
of anguish and despair. We We're

skinned alive.
Immediately after his return from
my town, so it seems, Comiskey got
busy with his plans for dark re-
venge. He had his groundkeeper dig
a grave at the pitchers slab-an ex-
cavation about up to the hips of the
average man-and then he trained his
curving force, day by day, to that
most difficult of feats-t throwing up
hill. 1t is awful labor, but, of course,
a man can learn to do it, and by the
time we appeared in the vicinity they
all had it down to perfection. Can
you imagine the finish?
MY pitchers, trained to throwing
downward from a mountain, were alb
solutely done. They couldn't get the
ball anywhere near the batters and
man after man walked, while the few
feeble losses that came over the
plate were batted half a mile. For
three days the carnage went on and
we were trimmed IL to 2, IL to and
II to 5. Then Comiskey and l got to-
gether, agreed to restore our pitching
slabs to their normal altitude and
never again to try anything on each

DARK GOWNS EASY TO CLEAN
May Be Sponged With Strong Tea or
Coffee, or Even Put Into
the Washtub.

From month to month we go on
wearing black clothes, and we never
seem to think that they require
cleaning. 1t is enough that the dirt
doesn't show'-we don't worry at all
about it's being there all the time.
Think how quickly soiled a white gar
ment would be and how couple of
days makes our muslin waists yearn
for the washtub, and perhaps you will
realize that black, too, is unhygienic
and unclean, even when 1t looks all
right, and much more SO when it has
actually the appearance of being
soiled and rusty.
At any time the appearance of
black clothes may be greatly i'm
proved if they are thoroughly sponged
with a strong infusion of tea or coffee,
provided they are first of all well
brushed and shaken. But they may
also be washed without coming to
grief Experiment with a blouse and
go on to a skirt. and you will soon
see how successfully wolfe, serge, cash
mere. lawn and cloth may be cleansed.
Add a little ammonia to lukewarm
water and we'll souse the garment,
without, however, rubbing it; then
take it out, squeeze but do not wiring
it. plunge it into cold water, then
hang it, dripping, in the air to dry,
having selected, of course. a fresh and
breezy day for washing. Before be-
ginning the process all stains should
first be removed.
