WOMAN'S PRACTICAL IDEAS OF DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE.

How to Make a Bare, Narrow Boom Cozy The I'gly Front Stairway—Beautifying a Mantel—Useful Improvement# In the

Home at Little Cost.

[Copyright. 1897, by the Author.]

It id lucky for the millions of people living in comparatively old booses that fashions in domestic architecture change so often, since a bouse that was behind the times ten years ago needs bnt a bit of touching up to be qnite in the prevailing mode, now that architects have found the colonial and post colonial styles, after all, so satisfactory. Whether in the city, the suburbs, the village or the country, a house of comparatively simple exterior stands the best chance of being permanently.in good taste.

For extensive alterations in the exterior of an old house there is but one rule of action—don't! It costs twice as much in labor to work over old material as to use new. Where the frame and the roof are considerably changed, it frequently happens that the expense is almost as great as building new, and tbe result less satisfactory.

The same rule does not apply to interior arrangement, which can often be altered for tbe better at very slight expense. Modern architects have certainly improved tbe interior ideals of arrangement, if they have made few improvements on the outside. And most old houses cf»n bo modernized inside for onetenth part of the expense attending exterior alterations.

Take such a problem as the treatment of a long, bare, narrow room, with a fireplace in tbe middle of the long side. Such a room is, in the city, a front parlor Iu tbe country the dining room more often has these forbidding dimensions Two doors—say, in the latter oase those leading to the hall or parlor and to the kitchen—open toward the fireplace, destroying all sense of repose In such a room the cost of changing the

doors so that they swing away from the fireplaco is nothing. Without further change of any sort to tbe frame of the room, couple of light arches thrown across from pillars at the sides, as shown in tho uccompanying plau, accomplish three purposes—they make tho room appear wider and larger, they partly screen the hall and kitchen when the doors are opened, and they give an excellent opportunity for a couple of cozy corner seats at eac^ side*ff tho chimney. Suob seats |ro ingrained into

so deep that two setters were placed in it at ench side of the blaze. Twenty years ago people ran to absurd extremes of height in building new houses, the first story ranging from 12 to 16, 18 or oven 20 feet in height in largo and costly houses. This is now recognized as mistake, as it only makes the stairs harder to climb and tho rooms look less homelike. At present there is almost no exception to the rule that rooms should be so treated in decoration aB to look as largo as possible, even if this treatment makes *hem seem lower I have seen an old fashioued country place whoso first ceiling was only triflo over 8 feet high papered With a dado and a broad, emphatic frieze, leaving but a narrow strip of wall space. The result was cozy in the extreme, and rooms of but moderate size wero mndo to look .of generous proportions.

The old fashioued narrow hall, with stairs starting straight up from tbe front, door, is a bugbear in rearranging an interior. Such stairs area temptatiou to sneak thieves, a foe to privacy and a nuisance all round. In nearly all oases where such a hall is at tbe side of the houso the stairs can be turned about and ascend from the back of the ball toward tbe front, using the tame stair opening There should be a step, or perhaps two, at, tho side, then a broad landing, tbcu a turu, and the stairs can oome up straight toward the front, tbe flight being partially concealed from view by arches and portieres. Such an arrangement leaves a space of from 6 to 8 feet square where before the front door almost banged the stair newel in opening. These reversed lauding stairs are now quite commonly used in small oity houses, where lack of space compels the use of halls as narrow as 6)4 feet

AN* OLD MANTEL.

Such a hall looks almost spacious when tbe front half of it it not encumbered by the stairs, and when a broad opening closed by sliding doors leads into tbe parlor.

It is probable that wide openings between rooms, closed only by portieres, have been rather overdone of recent years. Doors bare their uses, after all In a country house where there are window openings on all sides, changing from a narrow doorway to a wide one

may often rob a room or its only wall space. An rjiartmeut which has, for instance, a wide arch in one wall, a window and closet door in another, a window and door in another and a fireplace and door in another will have no wall space left to speak of. It will look fussy and fidgety. There will seem to be no place in it where one can sit down without being in the way of people popping out of one or another of tbe doorways. The wide doorways are certainly pretty and convenient between hall and parlor or parlor and back parlor, but there are many cases where it is wise to refrain from discarding the narrow ones. Tbfse portiered arches are much less often nsed in small houses in England than in this country.

In any room used by tbe family assembly the fireplace should be the moa

THE OLD MANTEL TRANSFORMED. prominent feature, and if there isn't any fireplace there should and usually can be one. No house ought to have less than two chimneys, one warmed in winter by the range or cook stove, the other by the furnace smoke flue, BO as *to maintain in every grate, whether afire is burned in it or not, tbe up draft necessary for ventilation.

I have in mind a room whose small mantel looked inadequate to its considerable size, giving the apartment a rather cheerless appearance. The mistress of the house cured all this as if by magic, and at trifling expense. The mantel in its original state was perhaps 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. She had panels placed at either side, beyond the jambs, lengthened the shelf and placed three other shelves above, which she covered with books. Tbe result was an architectural feature which caught the eye the moment one entered the room. It was 7 feet wide and fully 8 feet up to the narrow brio-a-brao shelf that crowned the whole. Beside housing over 100 books for less than the cost of a new bookcase, it at once imparted to the room a cozy, homelike appearance. Of course, however, such a design would be less suitable for a formal parlor.

Chimneys and mantels put in as an afterthought have difficulties to contend with. One woman of my acquaintance, fitting up a small room for her sen on the ground floor of an old house, fdund no space available for a chimney except one of just three feet between two windows. She made it answer by putting in a chimney of rough brioks laid in red mortar and unpainted. The jambs were each 8 inches, or the length of one brick, in-width. There was an 8 inch hob on one side only, and below 'this tbe grate opening was only afoot wide, but I have seen them still nar.rooior u~-~ vu zigzags to a shaft 16 inches by 12.

The mason mourned muoh over this rough work. "Of course you'll want it plastered over, ma'am?" he said. "Indeed I don't It's all right just as it is." "I'll tell you what lean do, ma'am," he said. "I can plaster it all over and

p'int it up with white, and it'll look a little bit neater." Some ideas die hard, among them the superstition that brick looks less bricky when plastered or painted and lined off with staring white lines.

Another mantel experiment was equally successful. The problem was to put a chimney into a sido of a house only two feet from the fence line without disturbing floor or frame. This was ac oomplished by cutting an arch 9 feet wide through the walla above and be low, setting the chimney back to thp line and building a very shallow squarr bay to inclose it On either side of the ohimney breast there was just room enough for a small, cozy seat, with bookshelves on the back wall above. This was rather au expensive operation, tut it was fully worth while, even iu the financial way, as the sale of the house shortly afterward proved.

Many are the devices of less cost by which cheerless and forbidding iu teriors can be rendered more attractive without the laying of bricks or the cu' ting of walls. BELLE ARCHER

Mrs. Mary Kyle Dallas on a Too Often Neglected Duty. It a give all the substance of his house fcr lore, it would utterly be contemned.

The other day I heard a fashionably dressed woman say to a oc/tup&liion: "Another reproachful letter from grandma today. Oh, dear, I know I ought to go and see her! She brought me up and was awfully good to me, and she's 90, but it takes two hours to go there and two hours to come back, and my whole time is occupied keeping myself nice. Shopping is such a trial, and dressmakers never do as they ought nnless you watch them, nor milliness either, and when one boards one must look well, especially a young widow like me, and I go to so many afternoon teas and touches. One must know people. After every one gets out of town I'll take a day for grandma. She'll have to wait Relatives are nothing but a bother. I'm glad I have no children."

Tbe speaker was one of those persons who shout at tbe top of their voices iu public conveyances even when they dilate on tl^eir private affairs. I did not know her or her grandmother, but somehow I felt very sorry for the old lady. Considering the matter further, however, I felt sorrier for the young one.

Lounging in her lonely home for some token of tenderness from one dear to her, the grandmother was no doubt very sad, but it was evident that through her 90 years she had retained her emotions and her affections.

Evidently the granddaughter, who was possibly 80, had not. It seemed to her a waste of time to spare an hour from the wants of the body to minister to those of the soul. Yes, I mean the soul. Some people think that going to church suffices for that and that if they always pay their pew rent and put something in the plate or box or basket that is handed about for contributions they are all right and have a fair start for heaven. Now, for my part, I think that if you do not love your soul is iu danger. If you do not love some bumau beings so that you wish to kiss and em brace them, to exchange loving words and tender looks with them and rejoice in their presence, I cannot see how you are going to get into paradise.

Leather Trash Basket.

A trash basket of amplo size, both durable and tasteful, will always prove a welcome addition to any library or den, whether it belong to man or woman.

The one here described is notoverdifficult to make. First seleot some very heavy cardboard and from this cut four pieces of the shape shown in the drawing. They should measure 16 inches in height, 14 inches across the top and 7 inches at the lower edge. Also cut a piece of the cardboard 7 inches square for the bottom of tbe basket Select some brown figured denim and with this cover each part very neatly. Cut the denim at least one inch larger on all sides than the cardboard piece to be covered. Stretch very tightly aud paste the edges securely on the under side. Spread the uncovered side of each piece with paste, then lay the leather in place and

put under a weight When qnite dry, out close to the edges with a sharp knife. Have a shoemaker punch boles on the border of each part as shown by tbe lacing in illustration. Then lace the pieces together with narrow strips cct from tbe leatbeT, ending in tassels made from the same material.

The leather nsed may be either ooze or undressed calf, which can be bad in a variety of beautiful colors, or any smooth finished sort. Either can be purchased at a reasonable price from any wholesale leather dealer.

Tbe decoration is etched with bot irons. Tbe regular tool used for burned work is not necessary for this materia! A straight poker will do or even a slate pencil heated red bot If carefully madt this basket will be both artistic and durable, certainly a vast improvement on those dnst gathering articles much bedecked with ribbon bows and tbe like

MARY KYLE DALLAS.

[Note by the Editor.—The above short sketch is one of the last, if not tho very last, that Mary Kyle Dallas ever wrote. We have several other articles, the work of her ready and cheerful brain and pen, which wore secured through a New York syndicate for which she wrote during the last few years of her life, but the one here given seems most fitting in view of her recent death. Mrs. Dallas was probably one of the best known women writers in tho country. Her change to that state which we call death will be a personal loss to tens of thousands of appreciative readers.]

Tomato Caps.

Cut 8 or 4 of the round, smooth skinued tomatoes in halves, lay them in a baking tin with a little butter and bake till tender, but without allowing them to lose their shape. Remove them from tho oven and scoop out a good portion of the center from each. Break a couple of eggs into a small saucepan

very fine (these should have been previously cooked in a little butter) and salt and pepper. Whisk these ingredients over the fire till thick and creamy, fill the tomato cups with it, decorate each with a little sprig of parsley and serve very hot. A dessertspoouful of grated cheese may be added if liked.

The night to Strike.

President Lincoln in a speech at Hartford in 1860 referred to a great strike then iu progress among the New England shoe workers. "Thank God," be said, "we have a system of labor where there can be a strike. Whatever the pressure, there is a point where the workmen may stop."

Horace Greeley, when he was the first president of the New York Typographical nnion, is quoted as having said in an address to workingmen: "I stand here, friends, to urge that a new leaf be turned over—that the laboring class, instead of idly and blindly waiting for better circumstances and better times, shall begin at once to consider and discuss the means of controlling circumstances and commanding times by study, calculation, foresight, union."

Wendell Phillips is thus credited: "I rejoice at every effort workingmen make to organize. I hail tbe labor movement It is my only hope for democracy. Organize and stand together Let the nation hear a united demand from tbe laboring voice.

Japanese Self Sacrifice.

On board the Matsushima one man, who bad been shot in tbe abdomen and whose intestines were protruding from the gaping wounds, refused to be carried to the surgeon's ward, because, he said, be did not want to take any of the fighters from their work in order to carry him below Another, after having bad bis body burned out of all recognition in attempting to extinguish a fire, stood by helping all be could till the flames were put out, when he died. A third (mortally wounded) man, whose every gasp brought forth a gush of blood, would not close his eyes uutil he had told a comrade where the key of an important locker was and what the locker contained A chief gunner, whose under jaw had been shot away and who could, of course, not utter a word, signed to a subordinate with a nod to take bis place and fell dead after he had placed tbe bandle of the gun lever in his subordinate's band.—"Heroic Japan.

At last the workingmen, organized and unorganized, have it in their power to break up a trust. It is the simplest thing in the world, and they will save money while they are doing it. All they have to do is to say they will drink no more beer and stick to the determination. Tho great beer trust that is talked about is almost certain to be formed, and then a few of the brewers will do what it takes a great many to do now. But how easy it would be to smash such a combination Will the working people do it: Hardly They will congregate in a little one horse saloon that advertises tuat it does not belong to the trust and try to place a boycott on all the other richer saloons iu the vicinity that sell tbe product of the pool.

We cannot come, but we can often stay our progress thither. Disease, like everything else, must have a beginning. All chronic maladies tend to shorten life, and render it a species of martyrdom while they last. Malaria, kidney complaint, chronic indigestion, rheumatism—all have small beginnings, and may be stayed at the outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This excellent tonic and alternative is adapted alike to the prevention of disorders of the system and to their reearl^ use cannot be too

Not aa Inspiring Sight.

Tbe striking miners have suffered and endured until their patience is exhausted. To make a firm stand for their rights will involve no more hardships than they will have to endure if they submit to the oppressions of their employers. The sight of 150,000 underpaid miners and the many thousands dependent upon them, suffering because of the systematic oppression of employ era, is not calculated to impress the vis itor within our gates with the success of our free institutions. To these striking miners the clause in the Declara tion of Independence which says that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, is a hoi low mockery.—Omaha World-Her-ald.

Canadians Pretest Imported Labor.

The Ottawa trade and labor delegates have severely criticised Mr. Siftou's action in instructing Agent Griffith to promise work on the Crow's Nest pass construction to 1,000 of the Penrhyn quarrymen, and they have authorized their secretary to write the minister of the interior pointing out that there are already in Canada enough men to do all the work required on Canadian publio works and to protest against the importation of labor.

But the sarsaparilla is the same old sarsaparilla that made the record—SO years of cures. Why don't we better it? Well, we're much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry Doubtless, he said, "God mi^ht have made a better berry. But doubtless, also, He never did." Why don't we better the sarsaparilla? We can't. We are using the same old plant that cured the Indians and the Spaniards. It has not been bettered. And since we make sarsaparilla compound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making some secret chemical compound we might But we're not. We're making the same old sarsaparilla to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it's the same old sarsaparilla because it works the same old cures. It's the sovereign blood purifier, and -it's Ayers.
