The roof is constructed of a triangle ! stained, and
of wood cut to fit the corner, and this la supported by means of two pieces of wood about ; '3 inch in thickness, nailed to the wall, and running along either side underneath. An ornamen-
I tal edging is shown in the sketch, and
though not MVOaaary, greatly Improves the appearance of the cup
board, and adds v ry little to Its cost After the roof has been placed In po isltion. one or two long thin sharp ' nails should be driven through It Into the Mpporti to hold it firmly in its place. Between the two outer ends of the supports a brass rail is fixed for the curtain, which, by the way, may be made of one piece of material large enough lo pull right across, or two pieces divided in the middle to draw back on either side, and it will be found well atotfh w hile to spend a lit tie extra trouble in making the twe curtains, as they look better than the one. and are also of greater service for keeping the dust out of the interior. The curtains are attached to the brass rod in the ordinary way with brass rings, and if a small flounce Is nailed to the edge of the roof at the point marked "D." and allowed tc hang down a few inches It will pre vent the dust entering at the top ol curtains, and at the same time in nc way interfere with the from pulling backwards and forwards freely. The interior is fitted up with two rows of four pees fixed to the wall two or three laches below the roof. In order that tney can be used for hang ing clothes on as well as hats. The Iegs may be put up in two different ways; either by nailing a board tc the wall and then screwing on the pegs, or the board ma have the pegs screwed into It, and then be MOMMMd from the wall by means of two rings (similar to tho.-e used for hanging pictures!, and strong nails driven through them. This, perhaps, is the better way if we contemplate removing the cupboard from time to time, as the board with the Mffg then merely requires lifting from the nails. All the woodkork can be pait.te.l or

terial is chosen for the curtains to . match, perhaps, the color of the wall paper. It will make a both ornamental and useful addition to a room. On the top of the cupboard plenty of space will be found for a j-ot with a pretty fern in it, and other ornament; such as vases or plaques.

Have the Wick Dry and Just Long Enough to Touch Bottom A Thin Flame the Best. A "lamp expert" in the employ of i big oil company recently explained the methods by which kerosene could be made to burn bright and clear, or 'he reverse. Among other things, the wick was thoroughly dried out, and just long enough to reach the bottom Off the oil bowl no longer. This -ounds unimportant, but It was con sidered sufficiently valuable to be borne in mind in commercial demon--trations of the oil. It Is always wise to dry out a new wick thoroughly belOfO puttliie it In the lamp, as dampness causes Bpartterlafc Another point 1 this expert laid stress uion was trim ming the wick so as to give a thin flame: a thick flame bums yellow, a thin one clear white. Trouble will also result from a dirty burner, giving imperfect Mutilation, or one twisted or knocked out of sha;e. which cause3 the lamp to smoke. Few of the minor annoyances of life cause more discomfort than a dim or smoky lamp; It Is quite worth while to use some thought in avoiding such trouble,.

Supreme Court in a Muddle, The rate bill passed the senate May 18, and on May 21 the supreme court got into a tangle on the rate question which may serve to Illustrate the wisdom of Bailey and the absurdity of the
A His. n am-ndmen. In a case arising under the interstate mmmerce law the court was equally divided: ; four justices on one side and four on the other, and one disqualified by his personal interest In the result. In that case certain railroads had. about six year- . made an advance In the rate n hay The interstate commerce i m nlssion decided that the new rate t Ufas unreasonable and undertook to ee ai!.-li ..u 'her. The railroad companies refused to obey the order of the ponimisMon. and the commission app'ied to Judge Wing, of the United I States circ uit court, for a mandamus. Ju ge Wing decided that the commisstoa has no Barver to make rates, aad llaasd he bill. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, and the i order dismissing the bill stands af- ' finned by a divided court that Is. ! becsuse it was not set aside by a mai Jority of the court. It has taken six
years for the supreme eour to determine that lhe commission had uo right to make a rate. Pnder the Hepbum bill, as It passed the senate, the
