graph is made to read as follows: "And pipe-bowls of clay, 10 per cent, ad valorem." The provision of the senate sub-com-mltteo bill for a duty of 20 per cent, ad valorem on bananas and pineapples is etrieken out. The Free List. The following articles are restored to the free list: Coanuts and horn strips and horn tips. In the internal revenue schedule the committee strikes out the provision, .vhlch the senate sub-committee inserted first, taxing cigars and cigarettes weighing more than three pounds, ?5 per thou'sand; and cigarettes in paper, weighing not more than three pounds, $1 per thousand, and wrapped in tobacco, 50 cents per thousand, thus leaving the taxes on , these articles unchanged from the present law. The provision in the income tax ajnendment relating to a tax on building and loan associations, which was exempted tby the house and stricken out when the fenate sub-committee reported the bill, has been restored with the proviso that the tax shall not be levied upon those inetltutions who make no loans except to shareholders for the purpose of enabling them to build homes. The Tobacco Schedule. The following, which was not in cither the house bill or the bill framed by the eenate sub-committee, is inserted: "Every person whose business it is to manufacture tobacco or snuff for himself, or who employes others to manufacture tobacco or snuff, whether such manufacture be by cutting, pressing, grinding, crushing or rubbing of any raw or leaf tobacco, or otherwise preparing raw or leaf tobacco, or manufactured r partially manufactui cd tobacco or enuff. or the putting up for use or consumption of scraps, waste, clippings, etems or deposits of tobacco, resulting from any process of handling tobacco, or by the working or preparation of leaf ".tobacco, tobacco stems, straps, clippings or waste, by sifting, twisting, screening, or any othT process, shall be regarded as a manufacturer of tobacco. "Every person shall also be regarded as a manufacturer of Hol aci o whose business it is to sell leaf tobacco in quantities less than the original hogshead, case or bale; or who soils directly not to consumers, or to persons other than duly registered dealers in leaf tobacco, or to duly registered dealers in manufactured tobacco, snuff or cigars, or to poisons who purchase in original packages for export; an J all tobacco so sold by such persons shall be regarded as manufactured tobacco, and such nianufatured tobat shall bf put up and prepared by such manufacture in such packages only as the commissioner of internal rovcut c, with the approval of the secretary o" the treasury, shall prescribe. "Provided, that farmers and growers of tobacco, who soli leaf tulviceo of their own growth and raising shall not be regarded as manufactui ers of tobacco, and so much of sec. 2244 of the revised Statutes of the United States and acts "amendatory thereof as are in conflict with this act are hereby repealed." After the Trent lea. The language of the bill repealing the McKinley law has been modified to a considerable extent. The house bill provided for the repeal of "All acts or parts of acts inconsistent herewith." The senute sub-committee bill when first reported struck out that language and named the McKinley bill by title and repealed It outright, as well as all acts inconsistent with the present bill. The bill reported today provides specifically for the repeal of stc. 3 of the McKinley act, the reciprocity section, and inserts the following, abrogating the treaties made under this section: "All agreements or arrangements made or proclaimed between the United States and foreign governments under the provisions of said section, are hereby abrogated, of whii-h the president shall give such notice to the authorities of said foreign governments as may be required by the terms of such agreements or arrangements." Sec. 1". and 10 of the McKinley law are repealed specifically. These sections provide that the produce of the forests upon the St. John and St. Croix livers. In Maine, and their tributaries, may be readmitted free of duty. Th following section, which was inserted by the sub-committee, has been eliminated from the bill, the effect being to leave the Hawaiian treaty in full

force and effect: "That the president of the United States shall, immediately upon the pissage of this act. give notice to the government of the Hawaiian island that the United States intends to terminate the treaty of June 3. 1S75. made between the United States and his majesty, the king of the Hawaiian islands, as provided in the fifth article of said treaty; and it is hereby further enacted that after the expiration of twelve month.3 from the time of giving such notice, said treaty fhall be terminated and its provisions cease to be obligatory upon tre contracting parties thereto." Th following provision, which was in the Wilson bill and remained in the senate FMb-eotr-rzittee bill when first re.Torted, has been struck out. leaving the present law to remain in force: "The secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized, except as otherwise specially provided in this act, upon production of satisfactory proof to him of the actual injury in whole or in part, of any merchandise from any cause whatsoever, ,-while the same remained in the custody of the officers of the customs in any public or private warehouse under bond, or Jn the appraiser's stores undergoing appraisal, in pursuance of law or regulations of the treasury department, or while in transportation under bond from the port of entry to p.ny port in the United States, or while in the custody of officers of the customs and not in bond, or while within the limits of any port f entry and before the same have been landed, under the supervision of the officers of tie customs, to abate or refund, as the case may be, out of any moneys ,!n the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the amount of impost duties paid or accruing thereon, and likewise to cancel any warehouse bond or bonds, or enter satisfaction thereon in whole or In part, as the case may be." Cut nails and cut spikes of iron or etel. 22z per cent, ad valorem, instead of 30 per cent, in both "Wilson and subcommittee bills. Anchovies, sardines and other fish packed In oil, 23 per cent, ad valorem. Instead of 30 per cent, in Wilson and subcommittee bills. Castor ofl, 33 per cent, per gallon, which is the same rate as that fixed in the Wilson bill and an increase from the pub-committee bill, which placed It at SO per cent, ad valorem. Tissue, filtering and silver paper, 30 per cent, ad valorem. Instead of 23 In the Wilson and sub-committee bills. Manufactured corks, 10 cents per pound, inste-ad of 20 cents in Wilson and tub-committee bills. Oil cloth for floors. Including linoleum, cortecem. cork, carpets, valued at 23 cents per yard, 20 per rent, ad valorem. Instead of 30 In the Wilson bill and 23 In the sub-committee bill. Atlminintratlve Chun go. When the bill was first reported by the eenate sub-committee a great many' changes were made in the wording of the administrative portion of the Wilson bill. Some additional changes have been made sine thm. In sec. 4 the house bill provided that In levying duty upon two articles of similar material, quality and texture, upon mixed articles, the highest rate of duty chargeable under this act should be levied. The senate tommitte struck out "highest" and inserted "lowest." This has been changed back again and Is row the same as It was in the Wilson bill. In rec. 3, relating to the delivery of Imported packages to the Importer. It provided that such delivery shall not be made "until the packages are plainly marked," and the words "except under such regulations as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe" are stricken ouL In see. 22 the sub-committee struck out of the Wilson bill the following: "And provided, further, that .the drawback ca i

any article allowed under existing law shall be continued at the rate herein provided." This is restored in the new bill. The following in the same section of the Wilson bill, which was not disturbed by the senate sub-committee, is now stricken out from the revised bill: "Provided, further, that a drawback shall be allowed equal to the duty paid, less 1 rer centum, upon any imported bagging made of jute butts, which shall have been used exclusively as outside covering for lint cotton when exported, rate and amount of such drawback to be associated under such regulations as the secretary of the treasury may prescribe." In sec. 29, providing for an additional or corrected entry of the importer, the Wilson bill provided that inspectors should levy an additional duty eoual to the amount of lawful duty on the article, "that Is to say. the duty on the merchandise In question shall be doubled upon the amount added by the appraising officer." This has been changed since the bill was reported and now provides that an additional duty of "J per cent, of the total appraised value for each 1 per cent, that such appraised value exceeds the value declared In the entry." This, the new bill further provides, shall only apply to the article undervalued, "and shall not exceed 40 per cent, of the appraised value of such articles." The law in relation to the appointment of appraisers is left as at present, the full committee deciding not to accept the Wilson bill changes. A new provision has been added to the bill providing that the word "value" relating to the goods shall mean "actual market value," or "wholesale prices." Sec. 44 of the bill is stricken out. It provides that "no allowance for damage to goods imported shall hereafter be made." "WILT, TIirtKSlI OLD STRAW

Anil Tn lk for Two I.nnjc, "Wenry MoutltK. WASHINGTON. March 21. Senator Brice. who was the chief mover for the caucus of democratic senators, thinks the tariff bill as reported from the committee will now pass the senate, but that the senate amendments will be materially changed in the house and in conference before the bill is finally agreed upon. As the bill now. stands, he says, it is not satisfactory to a!', the democrats of the senate and he believes that It Would be impossible to get a bill that would satisfy all. He thinks it will be debated two months in the senate; that there will be some minor changes, but the bill will ptss substantially as it now s La mis. There will be a fight against the income tax feature and against the abrogation of the reciprocity treaties, but ho thinks both will be retained In the till. There will be enough republicans, says Mr. I5rice. voting with the democrats to keep the income tax in the bill. Senator Brice says that the changes had been such as will prevent vigorous opposition. Senator Olorman says that he thinks, with probably a few small changes, the bill will be likely to pass with the support of all the democrats of the senate. He thinks that it has now been changed, as he understands it. in such a way as to make it much more satisfactory than it was when it was first presented. The estimates of the amount of revenue which th tariff bill reported to the senate yesterday will produce show that the total amount will be about J3S1.000.000. This is a reduction of between J13.000.00 and J14.00,000 from the estimates n the first bill reported to the committee. The principal reduction is made in the internal revenue part of the bill, though the restoration of the piesent tax rates on domestic cigars and cigarettes will amount to a loss of oyer $10.vn,oo;). There will also be an appreciable falling oif in the duty on tin plate caused by changing the duty on the importation from 1 1-13 cents to 1 cent per pound. The change ia the fruit schedule v." hereby bananas, pineappl.s and cocoanuts are taken from th dutiable list, will make up the other principal items of loss. Bananas are imported in large quantities and the imposition of a duty of 2 cents pit- pound as first imposed by the committee wml 1 have produced a revenue of $1,072.L'::'. The committee found upon investigation, however, that the bill would produce niorj revenue than would be needed and as bananas are not produced in this country outside of a small section on the luif of Mexico, it was decided to restore them to the free list. As the bill stands, if the estimate is correct, it will produce at least $30.000.fiOO more of revenue than will be needed. The change made in the sugar schedule will not cause a showing" in the estimates different from the sub-committee bill, as the first estimate was made upon sugar testing 90 degrees fine. The estimate for the present bill will probably be upon the same grade of sugar. There would, however, be a slight difference in actual returns, as the maximum duty rate under the present bill is 1.3$ 'öc per pound as against 1.40c in the sub-committee bill. The differernce on this score would be controlled entir:ly by the quantity of the high grade sugar imported. Several senators were anxious to get action on bills in which they are interested or which they have In charge before the tariff bill is brought up and made the unfinished business in that body, and action on the tariff bill may be postponed by these matters of lesser importance. It is understood that while the tariff bill is being considered in the senate the house will probably dispose of all the appropriation bills, and it is likely that most of them will be reported back and ready for consideration In the senate before th tariff bill is disposed of. These bills, like the tariff bill, will have the right of way and will be Habe to shut out all other measures except such as are unobjected to. The democratic members of the finance committee desire to pujh the tariff with all spe-d, and it Is probable that after the bill has been discussed, for a week or two they will ask that it be considered during the two hours after the senate meets in the morning, which Is usually devoted to morning business or to bills of minor Importance. It is also intended very soon, or within two weeks after the bill is taken up, to lengthen the hours of the session and legin at 11 o'clock in the forenoon instead of 12 o'clock as at present. If there should be any disposition on the part of the opponents of the bill to prolong the discussion or Indications that sjeeches were being made for the purpose of delay then the hours are to be still further increased. It is not probable, however, that any attempt at extraordinary length of sessions will be proposed as long as there Is legitimate debate and senators have speeches to make. It Is well known, however, that as long as the finance committee continues to push the bill it will be next to impossible to transact other business which will take any time, and there Is now a rush to get through with pending legislation. It is probable that next Thursday will be the last time the senate will adjourn over until Monday until the tariff bill Id disposed of. SE.VVTOUS AUI2 TICKLED Iteeaase he Frrnldent In Snld to Favor the Tariff mil. WASHINGTON. March 22. The democratic members of the senate committee on finance have been assured of the president's cc-operatlon in having the tariff bill become a law, as he has expressed his approval of the bill as a whole. In the course of a. conversation with a member of the committee Mr. Cleveland referred to the bill and took occasion to say. that lie hoped it would pass; that there might be as little delay as possible in getting it - through the eenate. He spoke of the condition of the country, which was such ar to ren der It important that the agitation of the tariff subject should be terminated at the earliest possible moment. There has been some apprehension as to the, way la which the president might

regard the income tax in the shape agreed upon and also the sugar duty, but he is said to have spoken not in an unfriendly way in the interview mentioned of these two items, not so much with reference to the principles involved in the provisions as of the fact that they would assure a sufficient revenue for the necessities of the government. The friend3 of the senate bill are encouraged to believe that the president's position with reference to the bill as now prepared will strengthen it materially In the house. Senator Morgan today expressed an intention to press at the proper time his proposed amendment to the tariff bill providing for the appointment of a tariff commission. The plan is to take tariff revision out of the hands of congress and leave it to the proposed board and the president.

FASH ON NOTES. Draperies have been struggling all winter for a place In fashion's dominion, but with little success. Now, however, they are more generally adopted, as women are becoming accustomed to their appearance, which, at first, was anything but artistic. At present they are a very modest prediction of the fullness that is to follow. The style now in vogue is a simple double skirt caught up a little on one side to display a few inches of another skirt in a contrasting color. This is such a trifling difference from the plain skirt, and so grateful in Its arrangement that the womt n will not realize that they arc falling into a mt. The tendency is always t nvard elaboration and the now pretty drapery will eventually assume such proportions that all the lines of tha figures will be lost. Fut this time is not yet. An illustration of a simple drapery is here shown. The gown is so plain that any woman who can sew anything may make it for herself. The material is soft wool of a light ecru. The skirt is slightly draped on the left side to show the skirt of green civet. The round lodioe has a deep yoke of ecru lace over white satin. The basque effect -is obtained by the tise of loops of the velvet lined with white silk. Lmips of the velvet are also used around the armholes. A INiet'M V.nuy Time.

There are two kinds of homes those fitted and meant for society and those furnished for homely comfort and family use. The greatest compliment one can pay the first is t say they are fine and In the height of reigning fashions. The greatest compliment one can give the second 'class is to say they are cozy and individual. The young woman who as a bride has a chance to make a home cannot possibly overestimate her influence and power. 'Lowell long ago taught us the simple le3son "that the many make the household, but only one the home." If that one is accomplished and naturally refined, these traits will show in every picture, every bit of China,' in every detail. Though it is plain that the small salary is needed for uses other than artistic, yet the touch of true refinement lurks in the tasteful Venetian photographs and centers in the "Aurora" of Guido Reni over the mantel, which is become an inexpensive artotype. If she is illiterate and uncultured, no matter how much money she has at her command, her home is suie to show these characteristics. Money hasn't much to do with the interior of a home these days, when a vase of plate of modern pottery is as fair and lovely as the rarest of porcelains used to be and when a really excellent photograph of a famous painting can be had for a trifle. In the society homo the blue silk parlor lambrequin and delicate upholstered chairs are kept hidden between company periods with calico coverings, while closed shutters and carefully drwn shades exclude every ray of sunlight. The funeral aspect of such a house is quite a contrast to that less pretentious one, where the half wore easy chair, the somewhat littered table ami the streaming light all indicate pleasing comfort. Of course things wear out in this kind of a home, but its cheery atmosphere makes it a place dear to inmates and triends. She can but be an unlovely, uninteresting woman who fails to give character to her home. Twas a smile: 'twas a garment's rustle; 'Twas nothing that I can phrase. But the whole dumb dwelling grew conscious And put on her looks and ways. Brooklyn Eagle. ItenefltM front ChniiKC. The thing that a woman needs most essential to keep up her health and spirits Is change not necessarily a constant variation of scene and occupation, but a brief relaxation once In awhile from the humdrum duties of hec routine existence. Nothing thrives well that is not occasionally transplanted to some other sjKt. there to take in new ideas, to acquire fresh thoughts, to store up something that will be food for reflection when once more the burden of regulation existence is shouldered. There is a most harmful idea existing among certain good housekeepers and most excellent women that If they were to leave horn? for one day everything would at or.ee collapse i.ito a state of utter ruin. This is a species of false conceit that presents many a tired brain and body from obtaining the respite from grinding care that it is necessary for them to receive. Husbands should take it upon themselves to provide certain little pleasant happenings to vary the monotony of the domestic drudgery that is the wife's heritage. This does not necessitate undue outlay of money, for a change, bright, pleasant and inspiring, can frequently le obtained in many ways when not a cent is required to secure it. If it is possible, a little trip taken once in awhile is the best tonic ever prepared. Seeing new places and new faces stimulates the imagination, braces up those forc?s that have been exhausted in the ceaseless round of humdrum doings at home, and thus helps to build up the body in the pleasantest manner possible. Philadelphia Times. Women In Ilurmnli inxl .Ininn. Burmah is the land of free woman. She is the lord of the soil. md... ....... his kingdom because Queen Suppayalat reigned in his stead. The graceful ligure of the Hurm?se woman clothed in rustling silks, her beautiful hair decked in beautiful roses and jasmine, her neck and fingers adorned with valuable rubies and diamonds who will not be fascinated by her charms? The Burmese girls are seen in their best attire only on festive days or in the temples. The promenade of the grand golden pagoda in Rangoon on a festival day is an Impressive spectacle. Hundreds of gay young girls, some laughing and chatting, some distributing food to the pilgrims, some offering flowers before the stainless shrines of the gentle Tathagata, one almost imagines that he is in the midst of a company of fairies. The Burmese girl is graceful, but the sweetest flower of womanhood is to be found in Japan, the land of chrysanthemums and cherry blossoms, and Japan, too, Is a Buddhist country. Henry Norman In his work, "The Real Japan," says the Japanese woman Is the crown of the charm of Japan, and he describes her as follows: "If you could take the light from the eyes of a sister of mercy at her gracious task, the smile of a maiden looking over the seas for her lover and the heart of an unspoiled child and materialize them into a winsome and healthy little body, crowned with a mass of jet black hair and dressed In bright, rustling silks, you would have the typical Japanese woman." Journal Maha-Boohl Society. KrnillnK for Children. Mr. Horace Scudder believes that reading would become a delight to children If after they have mastered its rudiments "some form of great imaginative literature" were given them for a reading book and other works continued year after year until they have finished their school course. This reading should be done, he believes, without analysis or e.nsive comment to turn It into a lesson and a pointed moral, but to stimulate the Imagination of the child while his mind is most impressionable. Of teaching the young to write English, he says, among other things: "It Is a blunder, I am convinced, to set a child to reading Hawthorne's 'Wonder Book. for Instance, and then direct him to tell the story over again In his own language. One may do this with great profit when a child has been reading a historic fact or a -biographical sketch, but when a piece of literature is a work of art the thought, the fancy and the language In which It Is couched are inseparable. Far better may we set the child to copying patiently and carefully the whole story or poem that we may Impress upon him the whole integrity cf the production." Flowers mt Dinner Parties. The art of decorating dinner tables has developed rapidly in the last few years. Formerly a plateau of flowers for the center of the table and a little smllax on the chandelier -were thought to be sufficient. If the dinner was large and elaborate, possibly three plateaus, a large design in the center of the table, wholly obstructing the view across, were added. Sometimes there was a large

pyramid of fruit made up of red bananas, and apples, yellow lemons and oranges, bunches of grapes dangling down, and perhaps a little smilax or some hardy ferns to give the finishing touches. All this is changed. Nothing should obstruct the line of vision. Flowers should either lie close to the table, or when high effects are wished narrow shafts of medium hlght containing longstemmed flowers tastefully arranged on a plateau, then given to the guests after dinner. It is far more graceful to use flowers with long stems arranged in a cut glass bowl, and If it is wished to give them to the guests it may be done informally, or bouquets may be laid at each lady's place and boutonnieres at each gentleman's II.

Drowsing on Time. A woman of the world almost invariably can effect the most rapid changes of toilet, for it is a part of her creed to dress quickly and appropriately for any function. The youthful beauty may require an hour or so in which to dress for a ball, may linger over her Sundaydressing until she is late for church and may keep the other members of the family waiting whenever she is to appear in public. Milady, on the contrary, serene in the consciousness of beng perfectly attired for every occasion, considers fifteen minutes to be an ample allowance for the most elaborate toilet, and if needs be can be literally "ready in five minutes." It is really a mark of good form, did the tardy oujs but know it. and indicates a familiarity with the usages of the world to ba able to dress with rapidity and at the same time well. Young eople should be taught that it is not only seltish, but bad form, to keep people waiting, for it is unhappily true that we are so constituted that it would trouble us more to commit any social solecism than to feel our conscience accuse us of any want of consideration to others. Some ieople seem to have a constitutional inability to be ready on time, and they go through life causing more discomfort and exciting more irritability than a little. They are placidly selfish and aggravatingly selfsatisfied while their victims fret and fume and lose their tempers, exciting in the cause of it all only a sort of surprised pity that they should "show so little self-control." X. Y. Tribun?. Her Pitiful CotKlitlon. "One of the most pitiful oases of necessity," said a New York minister's wife, "that I encounter is that of the middle aged woman forced to become self-supporting. There is almost nothing that she can do. One who came to me had taught music years ago, before she was married, and she spoke of taking that I'P again. I dared not encourage her. for in the competition with modern methods her old fashioned knowledge would have no chance.

She sail she would sew and pointed with some pride to the gown she wore, 'which I mad." myself.' I tried not to show the thought that was in my mind, that few would pay money for a duplicate of the tasteless though neatly ti;ting dress v.h'eh she had on, and it was with a feeling of hopelessness th.-.t I undertook to reply to her very hopeful question, Xow. what. Mrs. Blank, would you advise me to start in upon?' " Tight Gowns im.l tlie Henrt. A doctor has made an experiment to determine the influence on woman of tight clothing as regards the action of the heart. The test was the running of 440 yards in loose gymnasium garments and covering the same distance with the corsets on. The running time was two minutes thirty seconds for each trial, and in order that there should be no cardiac excitement or depr?ssion following the test the second trial was made the next day. Before beginning the running the average heart impulse was eighty-four beats to the minute. After running the above named distance the heart impulse was 1Ö2 beats to the minute, the average natural waist girth being twenty-five inches. The next day corsets were worn during the exercise, and the average girth of waist was reduced to twentyfour inches. The same distance was run in the same time by all. and Immediately afterward the average heart impulse was found to be 16S beats per minute. Medical Journal. KIderly Women nnd Round lints. Isn't it a pity that so many elderly women will persist in wearing round hats? Nowhere does advancing age show more plainly than in the curve of the cheek and neck, that is so charming In youth, so unattractive in later life. The telltale line Is shaded by the kindly bonnet strings, and some women recognize this and take advantage of it. Many others continue on their way, gorgeous to behold, in Gainsborough hats that would be quite appropriate in women ten or fifteen years the juniors of the well satisfied wearers. And the worst of it is that there is absolutely no help for it. Y'ou may tell a woman that her husband drinks, her son bets and her daughter flirts, that she herself is extravagant or has the reputation of being an atheist, a coquette or a bluestocking without seriously affecting her equanimity. But as you value her good will never dare to hint that she wears a hat too youthful for a matron of her years. Kansas City Times. American Women. Mrs. Eleanor C. Gregory, in an article on English and American women, shows her good taste and rare sense of discrimination by frankly expressed preference fcr the Americans. She thinks we have better manners than the English and says so in these words: "Let me wind up by expressing, a hope that English girls may soon enjoy universally the social training which Is the portion of their American cousins, fcr I do not believe that a better school for readiness and grace of manner exists anywhere. It is to this training that I would attribute the greater average in America of women who exhibit a graceful iself-possession. while maintaining that in England the highest Ideal and standard of good breeding is less rarely attained." t Selecting YVnll Paper. The housekeeper whose Inclination and pocketbook point to selectn of wall paper, cutains, etc., without advice of decorator, should remember one point. Small figures give a cheap, characterless effect to a room, A certain freedom of design is required, and the eye of experience will at once turn from what is termed a "weak hanging" without giving it second consideration. Harmony is defined as furnishings in one color, ringing the changes from light to dark, while harmonious contrast is a combination of different colors, producing artistic result without being aggressive to each other "colors that do ast

fight," in the words of a woman desperate with repeated efforts to accomplish this most difficult thing. Decorator. Housekeeping. When I hear of young married people "going to boarding." I always think of what Col. Ingersoll said in his speech on patriotißm. It was to this effect: "We can never hope to recruit patriots from boarding houses. What man could be expected to get up and fight in case of war for his boarding house? while from instinct men will battle for their homes." Go to housekeeping, young people. It's better than boarding, much better than living with your or her folks. Start a home of your own somewhere, but a little out of the city if you can. It's better for the children if you have any, and I hope you will have, for it isn't much of a home without them. Polly Pry in X. Y. Recorder.

Hog. Those who possess a superfluity of rugs can make a charming effect by hanging them against the wall in the corner of a room, one at the head and two or three on the side. Another rug is suspended lengthwise to form a top. A narrow divan seat with four or five large cushions Is arranged at one end. and the rest of the space is filled with a small eastern octagon table (on which are laid cigars and cigarettes, matches and a silver taper) and a couple of oddly shaped chairs. A Turkish lamp, with a red glass shade, gives just the amount of light desirable, and a few eastern arms arranged in the background of rugs will add greatly to the effect. X. Y. Ledger. Unby's Shoes. The material to be employed is chamois leather. Cut the shoes in the shape of a tiny sock. Sew th-mi up with the seams on the inside and then turn them so that any edgs may Ix on the outside.
