Charm OF the Lilac Room.

For the real blond 10 be seen at her
best she should surround herself with
q frame Of harmonious colorin@. Lilac
being one Of her own special shades,
II is here suggested rs decorative
scheme for her boudOir.
Tint the ceiling u soft cream color
and panel the side walls with alter
nate panels of narrow plain lilac car
tribe paper and white wide panels
with lilac designs. dividing them with
narrow white holdings to match the
white woodwork. If the room has 4
hardwood floor, polish and cover 1t
with soft lilac rugs; If not, use lilac
filling from the edge OF the room to
meet the large center rug.
For draperies use the plain cream
net. with the heavier curtains of lilac
ve!n,rrs or dainty chintZ on white poles.
White enamel furniture with coverings
to match the draperics is most at
tractive. The wide. low couch may
have a number Of pillows i'll the diff
ferent soft shades. embroidered in iris,
violcts and hyacinth designs. The
decorative linens may be embroidered
to match.

TRAPPING EAGLES.
The Chinese Get Them With Haitsd
Net and Decoy Bird.

The Chinese Get Them With Baitsd
Net and Decoy Bird.
Every year, according to On old Gus
tom, in the second quarter Of the Sep.
TENDER or October moon, the 1nhabit-
ants of the Chinese province Of Shan.
tung go to Mongolia to hunt the eagles
which abound In that region. The
huntsmen march in troops along the
roads, carrying on their shoulders long
poles from which are suspended their
baggage and provisions and on which
are perched tame eagles to be used as
decoys.
The hunters make use of large net,
spread open on the ground and baited
with small dried fishes, in the midst
Of which is placed tame eagle. The
decoy naturally begins to devour the
bait and thus invites its wild cousins
to follow its example. When the birds
have alighted and are feeding the
hunter, from his hiding place two or
three hundred yards distant, quickly
closes the net by means Of cords and
thus captures the eagles.
Eagle hunting is very lucrative The
feathers arc used in the manufacture
Of fans and are sold Mt a high price
even in China. There are three sorts
Kicpei, black with white centers; Che
ma, white spotted with black; Tout
sing, half white and half black. Sew
eral eagles contribute to the making
of a fan, for only q small part of the
plumage can be utilized; hence these
fans are very costly.
