ARTISTIC WORK. The Gregory Store Looks Very Neat and Cozy. R. B. Gregory & Co.’s wallpaper and paint store is undergoing a cleaning up and repairs that give it the apix*arance of being brand new.

During the present week Bob has lx*en trying himself on ceiling, decoration and a glance thereat shows even the most skeptical that he is a graduate in the art of paper hanging. The ceiling is finished in colored wall paper and decorated with gold moulding. The combination of red, green and yellow is charming and is certainly a good sample to show the customers. The hurry up season in this line of work is just opening up and the way orders are being booked now makes one believe tht this is to be the busiest year in Decatur’s history for painters and decorators.

To let it steam and simmer and evaporate uiipl the good water is iu tbe atmosphere and only the lime and iron and dregs left In the kettle Ts what makes a great many people sick, and it is worse Ibau no water at all.’ For water boiled like this and flavored with a few drops of lemon Juice Mr. Belmonlco used to charge as much as for Ids best liquors, and lie often recommended it to his customers and friends who complained of loss of appetite. It is worth trying,” Different View. “You see," said the old locomotive engineer, "railroad officials don’t look at things quite as the public does. On one of my runs a year ago I found a certain bridge swept away, and I had to back up about two miles to get orders. As I reached the station tbe division superintendent came out and demanded. "What’s the reason for all this?” “Bridge over Maple river gone,” says I. “And why didn’t you run your train Into the river?"

Tbe Quality of Defense la Fonnd Ta Every Animal. By a decree of nature one-half the world flourishes at the expense of the other half. The sparrow chases the butterfly, but the hawk chases tbe sparrow. For the problem of life is twofold. It is not enough merely to eat. It is necessary to avoid being eaten. Yet nature detests killing for killing's sake. Massacre forms no part of her great plan. So we see that every creature is provided with some more or less effective quality of defense by means of which the attacks of its natural enemies are rendered less frequent or less deadly. Thus tbe antelope by means of its superior speed at times escapes from the lion. The armadillo, rolled in its wondrous coat of mail, lies secure among a score of hungry, gnawing foes, while the white hare, scarcely distinguishable from the snow- on which it crouches, is often overlooked by his foe, the fox. But of all creatures none has received more ample protection than the Insects. Some of them possess stings, others bite, and a few puff out clouds of poisonous vapor to stupefy or blind their pursuers. Again, there are insects clothed In Impenetrable armor, insc ts covered with sharp spines prickles and others whose means of defense consist iu nothing but a likeness to tbe objects which surround them.- Royal Magazine. How Savn<e> Walk. Savages always walk with their toes turned in for two reasons. In the first place the foot naturally falls in that position when it has never been confines! by boots or the ankles distorted by high heels. In tile long stride of the savage the leg swings freely like a pendulum round tbe center of gravity, which is somewhere between it and the other leg. In tbe swing the abduc tor muscles of the inside of the thigh bring tbe sole of tbe foot under tbe center of gravity, and In doing so slightly rotate the foot toward the inner line, turning the too in. Convenience is also on tbe side of the natural position of the foot in tbe case of the savage, for be has to du much walking through lung grass and undergrowth in forests. A moment’s reflection will show how very much his progress would he impeded If he turned bls toes out to catch these obstacles Instead of brushing them aside and outward as he now does. Lastly, the savage uses his foot much more as a help tu his hands than we do, and it Is obvious that in doing this he must turn bls toes In.

"Henrietta," said Mr. Meekton, "did you hear that lecture in which it was stated that the fact that Adam arrived on earth before Eve Indicatist that tuen should assume c certain precedence over women?” “I did," was the somewhat icy reply, “Isn't it absurd? It simply shows that Adam was expected to get the garden in shape for Eve's comfort, Just as the modern man gets up iu tbe morning and lights the fire.”—Waste Ingtou Star.
