valuable because when one's purse will sot permit of their being carried out on the original scheme they can be easily simplified by the selection of less expensive materials, but with the same arrangement and coloring.

vooiit. The woodwork of the furniture of dark rosewood, but the upholstering is in a yellowish brown, but little darker than the tone of the walls. The stained and waxed floor is partly covered witk ruga in which the same yellowish brown tint reappears, but mixed witb dark reds and blues.

The cushions in the window seat are oovered with silks of different colors, that of bright yellow predominating, and the window curtains are of old gold. The oeiling is tinted a rich ivory.

The dining room is in general darker, Bhade? of brown predominating, the redttah browns of tho mahogany sideboard, ohairs and other .furniture setting the keynote. The curtains, however, are of Mm same stuff as in the parlor, and relief is gained by the tableware, silver and glass disposed on the sideboard and ia the glared cupboards. In a very large room this might not be sufficient, and some variety of color in the general scheme of the room would bo requisite. But tho Japanese screon indicates one cheap mid effective way of introducing aay amount, of oolor that may be re-

quired. It is to be considered, too, that the oentor of interest of the room is the table, and it is not well to hare much bright, color elsewhere.

The stains used on li^ht woods are: F»r black or obony stain on to pear wood •r syeamoro, two applications of hot logwood dye, followed by vinegar in which steel filings luivo been soaked. For a Mahogany stain applied to holly, beoch, sycamore and other light woods a solutM« of phrouiateg of potash gives the best result. Pearlaah is also used. Oak is darkened or "aged" by the application of liquid ammonia or simply by being exposed to its Cumes.

ItrHpr For Ornchrr Toast.

Toast 12 hard crackers and break each one into throe or four pieces. Put them hsto a colandor and pour oror them qaickly a quart of boiling water. It i« lwfetet' to put only half of tho crackers i«to the colander at once in order that the water may roach evory piece. Put a few pieces into a hot dish and season with salt, pepper and melted butter. Then more cracker and more seasoning, and so on. till all is used up. It takes quite an amount of but tor to season them. One-quarter of a pound will be none too much for the number of crackers given. Serve them at once, as they cool very quickly and are not good unless eaten hot.

On» Cans© of Wrinkles.

Wrinkles aro tho principal witnesses to age. Persons may have hair nearly ©r quite white, but ii the skin is fair a»d smooth they will look what they are—prematurely gray. You do not hear ef people being prematurely wrinkled, although many truly are, yet they are spoken of as looking old.

Many young people have a disagreeable habit of frowning and scowling, and as they grew older the creases formed will become fixed. Profound meditation, «kvp study, worry and anxiety, all cause wrinkles and mostly in tho upper part of tho face. Of courso we know that a face without auy lines would be expressionless, but there is little danger of any effort on our part erasing too manyenough will remain if we do all wa can to obliterate them.

Tho skin in youth is not only firm, but elastic, and hence the momentary expressions. even if frequently repeated, disappear, but in later years the elasticity is lost, and expressions oft repeated form permanent folds in the skin.

P»Mtical Suggestions A boat BmmMs) Points In Bediees and Skirts. A. round waist with a coat skirt belted

•n is ail excellent plan, as it makes one •ostuine answer for both house and •treet. The rouud waist and skirt serve for the house, and the added coat skirt makes this an appropriate dress for the street.

In making round waists of wool dresses most of the seams are confined to the lining, and the outside is drawn smoothly over this fitted lining without dartsor

derarm form on each side. When silk linings are too costly, there are linings of cotton sateen of a single color, as smooth as silk and of a heavy quality, known as Oxford cloths.

The sleeve linings are fitted easily around the arm, and the outer mutton leg sleeves of wool droop in loose folds from plaits in the armholes to the elbow, where a second seam appears to shape them closely on the forearm. The wool and sateen are taken together in the seams and are bound with ribbon. The inner belt is set slightly above the waist line in order to draw the back down smoothly and keep it in place. This belt is tacked with long cross stitches to two seams in the back of the lining and is then hooked in front. Two inverted hooks are placed just below the tac'icings, and eyes to correspond with them are set on the belt of the skirt to prevent the waist and skirt parting.

The end of the waist is turned under and faced with twilled silk tape, and may pass inside the skirt or else merely under a short basque of moire or satin, attached two inches higher on the outside under a belt of folded satin ribbon. The waist may fasten down the middle of the front or be slightly lapped to the left below the bust and decorated there with three large buttons. After the intricate ways of closing corsages lately in vogue, this easy closing is a comfort. Modistes make the front edges meet without lapping and place hooks and •yes, alternating on the opposite sides, just at the edge of the lining, almost covering them by a band of twilled silk tape.

The half circle skirt falling in godet plaits remains the favorite and may be cut all in one piece from double width goods, or in five gores if preferred. It is about 4i yards around the foot, where it barely escapes the floor all around and fits smoothly at the top on the front and sides, the back being gathered, or else held in four or six plaits. The lining may be of seven breadths of inexpensive silk, or else of cotton sateen. In either case all the seams are hidden by being turned inside next the wool skirt, except that down the middle of the back, in which the outside and lining are joined, and the two closed edges are stitched closely together and pressed open flatly. This middle back seam is sloped narrower toward the top, though not so narrow as in bell skirts.

The interlining of stiff canma or of crinoline lawn may be only 12 or 14 inches dee"p all around or may extend farther up the back. Many ladies prefer interlinings of wadding. The foot of the skirt is completed by joining the edges of the outside and lining and covering the seam by a band of velveteen cut bias and nearly an inch wide when finished. The canvas interlining is tacked at the top to the lining only. Braids at the foot of skirls are now seldom used.

A plain skirt, if well cut to hang evenly all around a short distance above the floor, needs no trimming and is really more stylish when made of woolen goods than if trimmed with many bands. The placket hole, or opening, is left in the middle seam of the back of the skirt, and the pocket is inserted amid the fullness on the right side. If a balayeuse is added, it is a ruffle of taffeta the color of the lining, cut bias, about five inches deep, pinked on each edge and gathered near the upper edge in two or three rows. The foregoing useful instructions are from Harper's Bazar.

Making Oyster Patties.

A pint of small oysters, a cupful of eream, a large teaspoonful of flour, salt and pepper to aste. Bring the cream to a boil in the double boiler, mix the flour with a little cold milk and stir into the boiling cream, seasoning with salt and pepper. Bring tho oysters to a boil in their own liquor, skim and drain off the liquor. Add the oysters to the cream, boil up once, till the patty shells and serve very hot.

Heating Farmhouses.

Tho problem of heating some of our farmhouses is a difficult one. Most folks enjoy the old fashioned fireplace, with its roaring fire of logs, but too much of that heat goes up the chimney—wasted. The beauty of steam, water and hot air heaters is that there is little waste of heat—it can be distributed dver the house into various rooms,

A suggestion was made not long ago by Rural New Yorker that might be utilised by gome ingenious farmer. The

plan involved an old fashioned wide fire-j place, with metal boilers at the sides I connected with suitable pipes for letting in water and releasing steam or hot wa-1 tor. These pipes may run to different' rooms into radiators like those used in ordinary steam or water heating. In fact, the only new thing about this plan is the location of the boiler in the fireplace. The opinion is that this arrangement could be made cheaper than the ordinary steam or water heater, and it would be a great saving of fuel.

Dressing tables were almost unheard of in American homes a few years ago I but their utility is so unquestioned that their use spreads from month to month.

Certainly, no matter how many persons sleep in one room, they should, if they make any pretense whatever toward making a toilet, have eaoh a dressing ta-

ble to herself. Rooms may often be do small that one large clothes bureau must do for two sisters or friends, and this without the least need for one interfering with the other's comfort.

But to dress at one glass—that is quite different. No woman can give to her lovelocks that undivided attention which a hot iron requires while another woman is nodding and bobbing behind her shoul ders. It is distracting to the mind, and burned foreheads and lost tempers are apt to be the result. More than that what would be all right to one of the roommates would be highly displeasing to another's sense of neatness, and that would not be pleasant. Every human being has a right to a reasonable amount of liberty, and that cry for liberty is no where more just than in the relations between a pretty girl and her picture in her mirror, says Golden Days, which pic tures a charming little dressing table of quite new design.

Around the white enameled table simple affair, but in fine taste—are three short brass rods fastened to the wall. Over these three rods and at the back is ar ranged a drapery of figured white muslin edged with a soft frill of lace. At the sides, just on a level with the top of the table, the drapery i& caught back by a cord and tassels, but it would be fully as picturesque and feminine in the posi tion it is to occupy if tied back with rib bons.

Neat persons, who delight to have a place for everything and everything in its place, owning such a dressing table would be likely to make it quite complete with the useful buttonhooks, scissors, knife and similar toilet articles all laid in rows ready to hand. The nail things will all be on a tray by themselves, the brush and combs in their own tray of china or lacquer, and on either shelf pretty sachets and cushions for both stickpins, hatpins and toilet pins.

Crape as a Badge of Monrning.

ured exclusively in England, but also by several houses in Lyons, and there is one small manufacturer in Germany, but these foreign makers produce only a very inferior article, sold at very low prices.

The report that crape is not as much worn as it used to be is scarcely correct What is true is that deep mourning is only worn now for very near relatives, and for not so long, a period as was the custom even 10 years ago. The cut and fashion of mourning dresses is similar to the styles observed by ladies who wear colors. Now that a black dress is so. popular for general wear, it is often difficult to detect the difference, unless the gown is trimmed with crape.

At yesterday *8 meeting of the house of lords there were seven peers present, of whom one, Lord Kensington, occupied the woolsack. In the upper house three peers make a quorum. The only business was the first reading of the local government bill, a formality that occupied barely half a minute.

STATESMEN'S ECCENTRICITIES.

Kate Field Says Oar Senators Would Be Lost VTithont Tronsers Pockets.

"Do you prefer side or slant or top pockets in your trousers?" "I don't care, I'm sure. All I want is pockets that I can get my hands into."

This was the conversation I overheard the other drv between a tailor and his customer, and I was reminded of it an hour later as 1 looked down upon the floor ofcthe senate chamber and watched our grave and reverend lawmakers going through their work. In the middle aisle, carrying on a triangular debate, were Senator Proctor and Senator Gorman, each with his left hand in his trousers pocket, and Senator Allison with both hands similarly incased. They were presently joined by Senator Brice, who had his right hand pocketed, while Senator Lindsay strode from the Democratic over to the Republican 8ide, with both his bands in his pockets, almost running into Senator Lodge, who was carrying bis in the same way.

I could not help thinking of the old Btory of Daniel Webster and the button on his jacket, which he always used to twirl while making his best recitations in school. It is said that a little girl who had long stood next to him in his spelling class, and who was ambitious to pass him, contrived one day to snip off this butt(fn, and at the next recitation, when Daniel felt for it and found it missing, he was so overcome that he missed the world put to him, and his clever rival went to the head of the class. Suppose some malicious person, bent on destroying the comfort and dignity of the senate, should contrive to have the tronsers pockets of all the senators sewed up over night, what would become of American oratory and legislation the next day?—Kate Field's Washington.

THE REFORMER'S ROCKY ROAD.

A Temperance Agitator In Austria Has to Fight the Liqnor Men and Governor.

American temperance agitators would not.enjoy themselves in Austria. A native of a small village after a long cataleptic trance a year ago declared that he had been to heaven and had been commissioned by the Almighty to return and teach the peasants the wickedness of drinking spirits. Soon the entire village took an oath of total abstinence. The district governor committed the man to the madhouse, where the doctors kept him for six months and then declared him sane. He resumed his agitation, and in a short time seven villages had taken vows of abstinence.

The result was that a number ot liq nor dealers to whom the government had granted licenses refused to keep their contracts. The district judge gave orders that the dangerous agitator be arrested if caught preaching abstinence. The man has not left his bouse for weeks. Deputations come to him from far and wide to hear his words and to repeat them when they return home. The authorities are consoling the dealers by declaring that the peasants must soon drink again.—Vienna Letter.
