EFFECTS OF LIGHT.

A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN DECORATING AND FURNISHING,

stilt the Rcnourccu of Xatural Light Before Buying I'apein or Fabrics—Brighten or Darken Your Room* With the Coloring on Wall* and Ceiling.

Natural light onght always to be con •Idered aa an important factor in the coloring and furnishing of a room.

It is not sufficient that we adopt blue for a warm exposure and yellow for a cold, because the former may be dark and the latter full of light, and hence conditions will become somewhat reversed. The office of color in this respect is to enliven or depress natural conditions, and by it we may fill the cool room full of warmth or the warm room full of refreshing coolness. Like-

Wise wo may counterbalance an excess of light by subdued, retiring colors, .while a deficiency may be compensated •for-.by warm, mellow, advancing color«,

There are rooms too bright for comfort. These should be toned down with color and fabrics. As dark colors absorb light, SO'hues, shades and tints of such colors tend materially to modify oxcessiv light. Then there are other means available for the purpose, such as the funiture stuffs and the hangings. If these bo of light absorbing nature, they will assist in counterbalancing excessive light. Whntovor, in fact, absorbs light is useful in this relation. Lusterless and giltless papers also aro useful. Mirrors may bo hung so as to catch and dispose rays of light in a darkish room. Varnished objects, glass and enamel ware, bright color, these all help in tho diffusion of tho light's ray, and so the otherwise dark room is mado bright and oheerful.

Yellow is tho strongest of all the oolors and the most diffusive of light. Hence tho room that is deficient In light must be treated in this key. Tho tendency must be in the direction of yellow.

2TOUCH AND THE PEDALS.

The PoMfbilitiM of the Pedals In Combination With Different Kinds of Toach.

4-sJt is easy to perceive that the tend ency to use the pedals for obtaining only dynamic gradations is due to & survival of traditions associated with the old pedals and older stops of the harpsichord, which were capable of no other effects. But it is entirely unnecessary to tell any modem teacher that the great masters of piano playing do not use the pedals simply to increase or diminish the loudness of the tone. It is true thatone cannot make a piano speak as loud ly with the soft pedal on as with it off but, soys a writer in The Musical Cou rier, it is very doubtful as to whether the power of the tone is increased by the use of the so called loud pedaL The volume of tone is enlarged by the letting loose of all the sympathetic vibrations, and the ear being crowded with simultaneous sounds gets the ijapres sion of loudness. But the truly great artist never uses the pedals for any oth er purpose than the production variety in tone color.

Chopin showed us how to do thia Liszt explored another resource of piano playing which gives myriads of new re suits. By combining the manners pedaling explained by Chopin with the manners of touch revealed by Liszt we arrive at a host of novel and beautiful effects, wholly unknown to the players of the classio era. The attention teachers is called to the need of system' atic instruction in this art of pedal ing, and its union with the resources of touch. Bmi the great master, Rubin stein, has said that he does not think we have yet learned how to exhaust the possibilities of tho pedal.

Here, then, is a subject for original research. The thoughtful teacher can find employment for many of his leisure hours in experimenting on touch and pedal combinations and noting the re sulta It is only lately that any attempts have been mado to systematize our knowledge on this subject. For the most part tho pianist has to find out for himself the possibilities of the pedals, and nino times out of ten when he has learned how to produce some extraordi nary effect he profers to keep the kaowl edge to himself, so that no other pianist may learn how to do the same thing.

New Parasols.

The variety in parasols is endless. Many women have, one for each dress, An imported affair that may be carried with almost any summer costume is of glace silk enhanced with frills in silk

muslin, which are carried round the border and describe festoons on each section. Long, narrow stick in natural wood, tipped with a ball of gold or silver.

A parasol of silk striped horizontally with a broad satin band has a frill around the ferule, to which aro attached two silk cords finished off with a ring to loosely close tho parasol. The stick is along rustic ono. An odd parasol has a cover of glace and shot taffeta overlaid with chevrons of blaok moire ribbon. A ruffle to match enciroles the ferule.

White moire parasols, with a soatloped edge, upon which is an applique of cream lace, are among the latest fan cies and aro much more durable than the fluffy chiffon beauties. Anew idea is to set old miniatures into the wooden handles, giving them a very elegant and antique appearance:

The Kag Doll

It is an odd fact, but a true one, that the loveliest French creation from doll dom immediately loses favor in childish eyes onoo its charms find a rival in a homemade piece of ugliness known as a rag doll.

It's something to be thankful for, too, this juvenile caprice, which paves tho way for introduction into the nurs ery of a whole family of "Belindas," "Sarah Janes" *lor Susan Sweets" that come straight from the pieoebag.

Here are some hints from Golden Days that will assist you in the fashion ing of one of these favorites of the playroom:

Begin with a pair of old white stocking legs. Lay thisse on the table and draw the outline of the doll, all in one. Then cut it out, trm it on the wrong side and stitch on the machine, leaving it open from the shoulder up. Thia allows for the stuffing of hair or batting. The former gives more body to the dolL Stuff well, plumping out the figure even to toes. When the head is smoothly filled, overhand the edges with strong thread. Then the hair, either brown or yellow silk, may be added, and the eyes, brows, nose and mouth drawn with ink or pencil It is better not to place beads for eyes, as the child is likely to poll them off and swallow them.

Try making a rag doll in this way and sen if it doesn't hold a more honored place in the nursery realms than the costliest bought toys.

In other words, every section in fruit will produce a cash value equal to three townships of wheat The winter apple is going to accomplish this result, and the next few years as the young orchards come into bearing will prove-the truth of this assertion, though it now seems a wild one.

CARUTH'S QUESTIONS.

His Thirst For Information Sometimes Takes All tho Ginger Out of a Climax.

The habit of Representative Caruth of interpolating some pointed question and spoiling a climax when members are delivering a speech, as he did recently when he asked MrQuigg at what period in history and in what country gladiators were booted and spurred, had a strong illustration in the Fifty-first oongress.

Representative Dolliver of Iowa was in the peroration of an impassioned address, in which he was picturing the loyalty and devotion to American institutions of sundry immigrants. He was giving the houso a thrilling and touching word painting of the goodness of these poor immigrants, declaring they had turned their backs upon the monaroh ridden countries of Europe to greet the sun of liberty in their new home in America. "I have had them sitting by my siae in my office," he exclaimed, "while 1 was writing letters for them to their old friends across the sea and to their old homes, and they were shedding tears"

At this point a strange voice from a seat somewhere on the other side of the chamber chimed in. It was Caruth's/ 'What were they crying about?" he asked.

There was an uproar of merriment all over the floor, and Mr. Dolliver's fine forensic effect was shattered by a shout of laughter at Caruth's impudent interjection —Washington Post

Eugene Field's Portrait of Debs. The newspaper portraits of E. V. Debs are not accurate. They represent him as fat and sleek, and he is not. Debs is tall, blue eyed, pale, smooth shaven and inclined to baldness He looks very like Bill Nye, and the fact that he wears spectacles emphasizes the resemblance He dresses very plainly, but neatly. He talks fluently, he is an om nivorons reader, and he particularly likes poetry. Of address he is candid and cordial. He has to a degree that quality called personal magnetism. Five minutes with him would suffioe, we think, to convince a reader of humau nature that Debs is a man of high ideas, honest convictions, unswerving integrity, great intellectual vigor (or perhaps, rather, zeal), exceptional simplicity of character and consummate impracticability. His traits are those, we believe, which, taken singly, are most admirable, bat which, hunched, are very likely to get him into trouble. —Chicago Record.

APPLES BETTER THAN WHEAT.

gome Startling Figuring Done by an Bathosiastic Oregon Kditor.

That it will not do to put all of one's eggs in ono basket has been thoroughly demonstrated by the berry crop this season. With thousands of crates ripe the ability to reach a market is without any fault of ours suddenly taken away. The strawberry crop has been the principal one of this section, and while it will not only hold its present yield, but will double and treble it, it will in a year or two become of secondary importance. Prunes, peaches, cherries and small fruits generally are a necessity to the fruitgrower because they furnish him with money early in the season as well as early in his business. They are a means to an end, furnishing money to support the family and to improve the farms. They all bear one fatal objection as a crop to be relied upon, and that is the absolute necessity of finding a mar ket for them as soon as they are ripe. This may not be true of the prune, but for it the same condition exists—it must be taken care of at once when ripe.

The fruit of Hood River, the one that is to make her famous as well as prosperous, is the winter apple. That can be kept It can be gathered leisurely, once in bearing, bring better and steadier returns and at the very least outlay. John Sweeny's orchard last year, its first year of bearing, produced more net money than would or could have been derived from the same area of land sown to wheat in 86 years. This year it should yield 50 times as much, next year 70 times as much, and then for 20 years 100 times as much. In other words, one acre of winter apples is worth more, year in and year out, than 100 acres of wheat Six acres of good orchard will yiold a larger net yield than a section of wheat land. Multiply the acres in Hood River valley by 100 and Koine idea of the wealth that it will eventually produce may be gained.

Money may be tight, but it is nothing to SPALDING'S GLUE. That's the tightest thing out. 23 "I SPY STRANGERS."

England's Revolt Against the Cry Tbat Clear* the Commons Galleries.

As io well known, it i3 only through courtesy and in violation of strict rales that any one is allowed to witness the proceedings of the English parliament If an ill natured member chooses to call out at any time, "I spy strangers," the galleries must be immediately cleared. This custom, of course, has become obsolete, and of late the ladies, who can go anywhere else in Westminster where visitors are allowed, through their especial champion, Mr. Byles, have endeavored to secure the same privileges relative to admission to the members' gallery as those accorded to men.

In a recent declaration betore house of parliament Mr. Herbert Giad stone stated that the exclusion of ladies from this place was based on the rule enforced by successive speakers that women cannot obtain admission to the house. "In former times," he said "between 1679 and 1778, the occasional presence of women in the gallery below the bar was permitted. Notice having, on Feb. 2, 1778, been taken tip! stran gers were present, the strangers who were men withdrew in obedienoe to the sergeant-at-arms. The ladies who filled the gallery exhibited such persevering reluctance to comply with the order that they interrupted the business of the house for two hours. Since that ladies havo never been allowed to sit within that part of the house." T,

Mr. Herbert Gladstone's statement filled the English newspapers with col umns of letters on the subject, the general trend of which goes to show that the British maid and matron pro pose to assert that they have equal rights to witness the doings of the lawmakers with their husbands and sweethearts.—New York Advertiser. ,1

GOLD SWEATERS AT WORK.

Your Double Eagles Are Liable to Be a Dollar Light.

A startling discovery was made in the subtreasury the other morning, and as a result all people aro w&rned against the $20 goldpiece, as the sweater" is at work again.

Cashier Stout received a sack containing $5,000 in gold coin from a bank on Third street. As usual, he weighed each piece before accepting it and found five double eagles each $1 short Careful anamination shows that they had all bdin remilled.

Qemilling gold coin is the latest trick of the men who find counterfeiting too dangerous. They go to a large city id deposit a sum of money in bank ant few days later draw it out in $20 goldpieces. fhese they put into a lathe and trim off the milling, which they care fully put on again, gaining at least $1 worth of gold in the operation. As the coin is not mutilated, but only slightly reduced in diameter, the coins are readily passed on the stores and in market, where money is not weighed when received.

The wife of tho "sweater" makes trifling purchases at the stores with them, and the good money received in exchange is rebanked and drawn out in gold again. Thus the capital is kept turning over at a lively rate, constantly growing, at a slight risk of detection.

A diligent "sweater" can clear from $50 to $75 a day easily. These are the first indications that Cincinnati has been worked, but from now on double eagles are under suspicion. —Cincinnati TimesStar. -r—. fe

Harrison's Heavy Trunk."

An amusing story has leaked out in connection with ex-President Harrison visit to this city. One of the trunks with Which he is traveling this summer was extremely well loaded and tasked the strength and patience of a baggage smasher at the Forty-second street station to such an extent that he lost his temper and made a very emphatic remark. "Be aisy, there," said his companion. "That's Mishter Benjamin Harrison's trnnk." "Begorra, thin," answered the irate Irishman, "he's got bis presidential boom inside of it"—New York World.
