WALL DECORATION.

APPROPRIATE METHODS OF INTERIOR MURAL ORNAMENTATION.,^:

Desirable New Patterns In Both Hand and *, Machine Made Wall Papers—Pearl Leathers and Genuine Silica—Pleasing Specialtics Among the Stamped Papers.

Decorator and Furnisher says: Nothiiiij is more barbarous in interior decoraboa than covering wall space with an all ov wall paper pattern, leaving the frieze and ceiling devoid of ornament. Tills method is pursued by those-who know nothing of decorative art and have never made a study of decorativc requireninets of an interior. The ceiling of an interior, not being required to support furniture or pictures, and being Always in evidence, is naturally the spot where the finest decorative effects should obtain, and the frieze for this reason also requires decorative treatment In fact, the real principle of decorating au interior is to start with a plainly tinted dado, increasing the effects of form and color as we approach the frieze, culminating our greatest effects in the frieze, cove and border of ceiling panel, and allowing the decorative wave to die off at the center of the ceiling. This is the most appropriate, classic and altogether desirable method of interior mural decoration.

New patterns in both hand and machine goods, therefore, as a rule, present at le&st three harmonious diversifications of same—for wall hanging, frieze and ceiling. There are real leathers which mean exactly what the term im-

plies. They are made of finely granulated morocco leather, with a backing of paper, on which are printed magnificent designs in lacquer and gold. They aro oxtreniely suitablofor dining rooms, halls and libraries. Genuine silks are another specialty in wall deoorations. These are composed of a satin surface backed with paper, the whole being embossed with magnificent Louis XVI and renaissance effocts, the intervals of tho ground being printed in turquoise blue, golden maize, pearl, heliotrope, old pink, etc.

For those to whom such productions might prove too costly there is manufactured a line of pressed papers in which the effects of the real silk {ire repyod\icod. !,• Thero are also spooial stamped papers which reproduce the effects of glazed tiles printed in bluos, reds and browns. Blended friezes are a now thing in prossod papers, and many beautiful examples of this kind of decoration are shown. Somo of tho pressed papers aro oolored to imitate flook papers. There aro rich renaissance designs in walnut leather colorings that would be very suitable for the decoration of dining rooms. Their white pressed papers are similar to lignomur and suohlike fabrics. Somo of the papors are not to bo distinguishod fropi real ivory carving or Wl silks, and while admiring the wonderful boauty of the goods we aro j&Qwn o^hors equally beautiful of a totally different Character.

There are papers reproducing the offoots of metal ceilings, glittering in all the hues of burnished lacquer, and papers in tile effects.

To meet tho demands for a striped goods which is essentially refined and suitable for bedroom deoorations, there Is produced a line of colored mica stripes of varying widths. But a most beautiful stripe in wall paper is a pat*

tern whereby the silk stripes are repro dnced, tied in a crushed manner at intervals with delicate bouquets of flowera. Striped goods, with bold floral frieze and ceilings to match, are much in evidence. Wattoau effects, with garlands of flowers in the frieso. make beautiful doooratioas. Infect, the garland as a motive has pretty much everything its own way in modern decoration, and such motives are interspersed with all over floral stenciling*, embroider? and laoe effects* floral medallions in tho heraldic style and papers of the empire order, KHjnforced with empire dec* orations. •.

Tailor made gowns are more popular than erer for morning we«r on the gtroet. for traveling and al churoh.

HATS IN THREE VARIETIES.

Wear Any of Them and Ton Are Sore to Be In Fashion.

The popular shapes in hats may be classified, into three varieties—the large picture hats, which recall the shapes of Sir Joshua Reynolds the fastastic undulating brim shape, which is very charming when arranged in good taste, and the small toque, which may be easily turned into a bonnet by the ad-

iition of strings. The inevitable sailor has its usual place on the list, yet it is in many instances more elaborately trimmed than the regulation sailor ought to be Transparent crowns, transparent brims and tulle rosettes are the newest features in millinery. Colored coarse straws are very much worn, and pale pink, green and black are the popular colors. A large rush green straw hat is trimmed with a soft crumpled green bow and field flowers. A very Frenchy black hat is adorned with velvety wide open begonias in the different colors of dark damask, pale pink, creamy white and rose color set about like rosettes. Unnatural black flowers are losing their hold on the publio fancy, and although black is introduced in almost every hat it is accomplished with lace, ribbon or jetted net

A pretty example described in the &ew York Sun is of fancy black straw adorned with black lace tastefully arranged in the shape of a fan, having at its stem a cluster of pink begonias, and on the other side is a bunch of the same flowers in a deeper shade It is impossible to say which color is most preferred, for all colors are worn on hats, the strongest shades being mingled according to taste. So it is safe to ohoose that which is most becoming.

The latest thing in leghorn hats has the appearance of a crown all right, but on close inspection you find that the top is gone, leaving the hair exposed..

Grecian Netting.

The Modern Priscilla calls attention to the handsome pattern known as Grecian netting. Two meshes of different size are necessary for the pattern. For the smaller of the two meshes select F. steel knitting needle, No. 9, and for tho

Mount upon the stirrup string any even number of stitohea First row, plain netting with the large mesh. Second row. with tho small mesh draw the first loop of previous row upward through the second loop of the same row, and net a stitoh in it Then look through the first loop, the upper part of which is now secured in the knot you have just formed, and you will see a portion of tho second loop crossing along just below. Draw this part of the second loop up through the little opening under the knot and net a stitch in it In twine every two loops together in this manner to tho end of tlje r^w. Third row, plain netting, with the large mesh. Fourth row, with the small mesh net a plain stitch in the first loop of tho previous row. Then draw the second loop upward through the third loop and net a stitch in it, and next bring the second loop up through the little opening under the knot and not a stitch In it and continue, and finish with a plain stitch at the end of the row. Fifth row, plain netting, with the large mesh. Repeat from the second row. The pattern is complete upon the determination of the third row. Another form of Grecian netting is a simple continuation of the first and second rows only, by which means the large holes are produced one over the other in a straight line.

CLEANING BOOTS AND SHOES.,

Directions Worthy of Trial—Patent Leather Beote—A Good Polish.

A well stocked blacking brush box should always be kept on hand, and this should contain the best of blacking, together with three good brushes. One of the brushes should be quite hard to effectually rid the boots of all mud and dirt, another should be soft in order to insure the successful application of Hie blacking, and the third should be classed in the happy medium, so as to give a satisfactory polish and "shine." Each should have its own distinct mission to perform, and their uses must never be confounded, says a correspondent odf The Household, whq also gives the following advice: The blacking, if liquid, should be kept well corked, and after all traces of mud have been removed from the boots should be applied to the brush by means of a sponge, which is tied to a stick, and from thence to the leather. This having been accomplished, the boots should be well polished with the regulation brush ai 1 a firm, vigorous hand. Much more ?Iicacy of treatment is required in clt

til

ing ladies' boots, except when they ire the stout common sense ones used for walking or skating, great care always being taken to avoid soiling the lining of the boots.

An excellent polish for general purposes is made from the following ingredients Mix 4 ounces of ivory black with 4 ounces of treacle in an earthen jar, to which add an ounce of sulphuric acid, stirring the mixture all the while. Then pour in 2 teaspoonfuls of olive oil, and after this has been thoroughly incorporated'add by degrees pints of white wine vinegar.

Another polish which is more suited to ladies' fine boots is made by mixing equal proportions of sweet oil, treacle and vinegar with an ounce of lampblack and applying with a sponge.

Patent leather boots require entirely different treatment. They should first be wiped with a damp sponge and afterward with a soft, dry cloth. The sponge may be moistened with either water or milk, but the latter should not be used too often. Occasionally a little oil might be applied with very good effect, but blacking should never be used except upon the edges of the soles.

The New French Waists.

Pongee silk shirt waists of the natural ecru shade are imported by tho best modistes to wear with blazer suits in the summer. According to Harper'H Bazar, these are made in the simplest manner, with fullness gathered at the neck and waist in front and back and are mounted on a fitted and boned lining of silk. A box plait two inches wide is down the front, with a row of brier stitching done in navy blue silk near each edge and holding buttonholes for three pearl buttons, which are regu lar Bhirt buttons. A turned down collar of the pongee doubled has a single row of stitching and is mounted on a neckband so wide that three buttons are required to fasten it. The bishop sleeves, nearly a yard wide, are very iong and have a fitted lining, to which they are taken up in a plait at the el bow to give them the proper length. They are gathered to straight cuffs of pongee four inches deep when doubled, brier stitched in a single row and fastened by three buttons. The edge of the waist goes inside the dress skirt A navy blue necktie and a ribbon belt, with a pearl buckle, complete the waist tor wearing with bine sacking or surge snita For those who prefer washable materials for similar shirt waists madras ginghams and linen batiste are used in the ecru pongee color, which is sometimes called "linen color" in the shops.

The New Parasols.

The newest and daintiest parasols have handles of mother of pearl richly cut and chased. The very elegant ones have whole handles of pearl, but the less expensive ones have a handle mounted with a short length, and the knob takes the form of the fruit of the passion flower. Smoked pearl is quite as fashionable as the white. Pink and green crystal balls and the dumbbell shapes in are other fancy mountings, and three cannon balls of china supersede the one ball of last year. The prettiest trimming for a satin parasol is cream antique point lace put on with the plain edge against the edge of the covers and the points standing.

Costume In Fancy Crepon/

A dress in fancy orepon, recently illustrated in tho New York Herald, was of havana brown and turquoise blue. The full skirt was finished with a plaiting around the edge and trimmed with three straps of havana satin ribbon

SOWNS THAT ARE, CONSPICUOUS IN THE SUMMER OUTFIT.

Embroidered Silks and Muslim!—The Rage For White Tulle Graduation Dresses. Organdie, Batiste and Muslin Gowns.

Black and White a Stylish Combination.

The weekly budget of Parisian fashions contains nothing new or startling in its freshness except perhaps the information that lace is to be superseded by embroidered silk or muslin, especially for evening dresses, and thsft there is a '•perfect rage for white tulle." Every second woman has either bonnet strings or a vest of tulle. The tendency in sleeves is toward an increase in size rather than any diminution, five yards of silk being the required quantity for the latest "butterfly sleeve." A band of insertion or jetted trimming divides the wings of this artistic arrangement Modified versions of the bishop sleeves are to be worn again.

Green, as usual, is the favorite color of this season. To form a pretty background for all the new shades which

blossom out, royal blue and green is a favorite combination in English fashions. Black, however, is fully as desirable as it has been for months past The high priests of Parisian modes have decreed that blaok used alone or in combination with white or gray shall be the most fashionable color of the season. Tiny checks of black and white silk, orepon, crape cloths and grenadines are equally popular. The newest thing in materials is "tussah silk," which is a revival of one of the delights of our grandmothers. It is very dainty in texture, combining the lightness of muslin with the tenacity of silk, and is patterned -in a variety of brocade designs.

Dimity, organdie, batiste and muslin dresses form- a conspicuous part of the summer outfit, and pure white muslin is the accepted material for graduation dresses, which are made with high neck waists, full- sleeves and trimmed with lace insertion. The skirts may be madedouble or single, and white satin or moire ribbon is used for belt, sash, collar and bows on the shoulders. Butter colored insertion is a stylish trimming for swiss muslin gowna

A dainty design, whether it be for muslin plain, dotted or flowered, is thir described by a writer in the New York Sun: The

is slightly gored in front

and at the side, full and plain at the back and trimmed with a ruffle of the same or white net An organdie finely striped and dotted with pink is pretty made in this way, with a bodice of white silk muslin fulled into a pink satin belt, which has a full basque of net at-

taohed. A plaited piece of the stripe edged with a frill of net forms a half yoke and bertha effect over the shoulders and is caught together both back and front with band and rosette bows of pink satin ribbon, which also forms the neck band The full balloon sleeves are of the stripe.

Another pretty model described for a pale pink crepon or thin silk has a plfvin full skirt trimmed at the bottom with a narrow ruche of the same edged with black satin ribbon. The bodice is plain, fulled into a black satin belt, which is fastened with a rhinestone buckle. The frill which forms the yoke is of black figured net, and to give the gown a more dressy appearance a sash of the same net would be a pretty addi tion. The black satin collar has a buckle to match the belt

An effective design for a foulard silk is made with an underskirt trimmed with a wide band of lace and one of the draped overskirts so much more popular in Paris than in New York. Another model may be easily copied and is especially pretty for taffeta silk. The waist is made of plain silk and is covered with some of the new guipure lace, which is interwoven with threads of gold and colored silk. It is tight fitting, but forms a jacket effect in front when Is it is finished, with a cord to match. The vest, bow and sash are of soft silk of the same color as the waists and the balloon sleeves are like the skirt.

Remedy For Corn*.

A paragraph is going the rounds to the effect that linseed oil is a sore remedy for both hard and soft corns. If they axe indurated and very painful, the relief it gives in a short time is most grateful. Bind on a piece of soft rag saturated with the linked oil and continue to dampen it with the oil every night and morning until the com can be removed easily and without pain.

They Want Names.

The Russell Art Publishing, Co., of 928 Arch street, Philadelphia, desire the names and address of a few people in every town who are interested in works of art, and to secure them they offer to send FREE, "Cupid Guides the Boat," a superbly executed water color picture, size 10 13 inches, suitable for framing, and sixteen other pictures about same size, in colors, to any one sending them at once the names and-address of ten persons (admirers o- fine pictures) together with six two centstamps toeover expense of mailing, etc The regular price of these pictures is $1 00, but they can all be secured free by any person forwarding the names and stamps promptly.

NOTE—The editor of this paper has already received copies of above pictures and considers them reallvuGemsofArt.'

ABOUT WATERWORKS.

The Costly Schemes Which Have Been Carried Out to Give Good Snpply.

At a cost of $12,500,000 Manchester is just completing a system of water supply by which Thiermere, one of the English lakes in Cumberland county, 95 miles away, has been dammed and water supplied to the city of the best quality in quantities sufficient for all probable needs. Manchester has also completed a ship canal to Liverpool, so that the largest vessels in the mercantile marine can lie at her docks. The City of Mexico'at a cost of $10,000,000 is just completing a drainage system that will carry the overflow of the great basin to the sea, thus warding off overflows and resultant malaria.

Greece has just completed the Corinthian canal at enormous expense, by which a short cut from Yenioe and Trieste is afforded to Athens and Constantinople. It has cost many millions and was first undertaken before the Christian dta. Austria has just completed the destruction of the "iron chains of the Danube" at a cost of many millions, a work begun in the days of the Caesars, whioh is of inestimable commercial value to the city. These area few of the great works undertaken seriously in recent years and brought to a successful conclusion. Each one will prove a profitable investment They have been carried out on business principles. There are several problems before the people of this country, which ought also to be considered on business principles. These problems are important and can all be solved if courage, enterprise and sagacity are used. They will fail if old fogy notions are allowed to rule as they have for generations past-—Fire and Water.

Wife Said

to me last night: How much do you suppose we have paid out for doctors and medicine in the last year? I told her I did not know. To doctors I have paid nothing, and live dollars' worth of Sulphur Bitters has kept health in our family.?"-' L. ANDREWS, 12 Rowdoin street, Boston.

A Corner In Cocoons.

The Genesee Valley Forest association offered prizes last year to school children for tho gathering of the cocoons of destructive insects. The three scholars gathering the largest number were to receive $5 each, the three gathering the next largest $8 each and the three gathering tho third largest $2 each. Then a prize of $10 was offered to any scholar who would beat last year's record of 44,900. This was the offer that is now embarrassing the society Instead of a single boy coining up to the $10 mark, scores have brought in their 50,000 or more cocoons, mid there is danger that the aggregate of prizes earned will go np into the thousands. The society wishes it understood that it intended only one $10 prize, but certainly any boy who has the industry to gather 60, 000 cocoons deserves to be generously rewarded. The association admits its error and will try to arrange a satisfactory settlement with the boys. And what they have done will save thousands of dollars to their section of the state.—'Troy Times.
