THE ARRANGEMENT OF CURTAINS.

This ridiculous fashion leads to tho Intro
ductlon of curtains whore nono are needed
and to their duplication where thoy uru. It
is easy to see, therefore, why It should bo fa
vored by upholittcrcr, but not m easy to hn
nglno why houxokocors should suffer them
selves to 1ms ruled by It. There aro several
modes of tasteful arrangoinent of draiery, so
simplo that tho most modest hoUMiwlfo need
not fear that If onco undone slm may not
lmvo tho skill to reieat them. Curtains
should lie ho hung that thoy may bo drawn
cIoko or apart, may bo allowed to fall in
straight folds or bo loo)ed back as required,
but should not bo gathered up with stout
cords and titMels at points out of roach or
nulled In set shaos so that they cannot be
shaken loose without tho uso of n ladder and
a pair of uippors nnd tho certainty of being
covered with dint
KXAMI'LK 3.
Curtains should always bo of use either as
screeiuorto shut out unnecessary light or
cold draughts. Tho most sensible way of
limiglug them Is by menus of small unohtru
slvo in-ital rings, strung on a metal or wooden
rod, which uoed seldom bo moro than ono
Inch l:i diameter Tho chance of too much
air blowing in betwoen this rod and the top
of tho wind w frame Is, If tho window sashes
are well hung and fastened, too small to be
of any reul account

JOURNALISM n4 GERMANY.
Bom of tlm Thlnr Wlilrli Mnka It Itii
ntnnius for Oiilnldnrn.
An uintisliiff rIcIo of journalism in
Germany comes to liglit wliun a nuws
pupcr in coudficutcd by tlio trovcrn
incut for political reasoim. llint is,
it is umtisinp; to pvoplo who lmvo scon
tlio way tlio thinfrisdono I liu owners
or publishers of tlio confiscated paper
don't look at tlio funny sido of it. Tlm
first copy of every nowRxiKr must bo
soiit to tlio "SUiats Anwnlt," or public
prosecutor, wlio is the censor of tho
press. Uerr Slants Auwalt, with tlio
press laws befom liini, carefully reads
tlio paper, wlillo lio sins liis mug' of
beer, liis oyo suddenly light on a
pa.sNip;o which ci'iliciscs adversely an
action or a remark of tho emperor.
Ho reads it through, and rereads it,
and begins to (ret mad.
"Doiinerwctlcr noch ein mal." ho
wivs. "That must bo btopped."
lie hurriedly draws a blue itencil
lino around tho panip-raph anil slops
up to his Iclcphoiio. ilo asks central
to connect him with tho chief of po
lice When this functionary is at tlio
other cud of tho 'phone, Mr. SUiats
An wait orders him to send a squad of
iiolico to tho printer of tho paper, for
bid its further publication, and fcizo
all tho copies thereof ho can lay his
hands on. Tho chief answers "Ja
wohl," and repeats tho order to his as
sistant. Tho ussi.sUiiil turns to his
"sub" and transmits it to linn, who in
turn tells his "sub" what is wanted,
and dually, after a lougdelay, boveral
policemen htart for tlio olllcu of the pa
per in a hired llacrc. In Germany,
when tho polico aro engaged in any
special work, thoy do not rido in tho
ordinary street cars, nor do thoy walk,
but thev must liiro a llacro or a conch.
This adds secrecy and dignity lo the
nlluir When tho policemen enter tlio
publication olllco, they intimidate tho
frightened foreman into handing over
all tho copies ho lias in the place
Thcso aro taken down stairs and
thrown into tho (lucre. If thero are
very niuny of ilium, another llacro is
called. 'Iho printers must take tho
objectior ablo matter from tlio forms,
and tho polico muko "pi" of it.
Usually thcso olllcers bear n war
rant ftir tho arrest of tho editor. Tlio
German editor has been thcro before,
however, and on tlio editorial pago of
most papers, right under tho terms to
subscribers, ho keeps n name, say,
"Joliann Schmidt, responsible editor."
And when there is any arresting to bo
done tho polico must wreak their ven
geance on Uerr Schmidt, who in most
cases is somo petty writer on tlio pa
per. When ho is in jail for writing
something which ho didn't write, tho
paper pays him u good salary and
looks out for his family. The liberal
iiowspapersaud socialistic publications
always keep n couplo of responsible
editors on tap, und when number ono
is iu the lockup tho namo of number
two takes his place iu the paper until,
through somo trouble with the polico,
number three begins liis inning. This
functionary is culled a sitz reduk
tour, or seat editor. Tho seat re
fers to his sojourn iu a dungeon. Tho
penalty of tho law increases with each
ofl'ensc, nnd after tho unfortuuato edi
tor has sat several times a now ono is
appointed, who shirts in with tho mild
est punishment for tho first oll'cnso.
Tho real editor usually gets wind of
tho intended visit of tho polico and so
crotcs sovcral copies of tho publication.
When thoy arrivo, und he hns read
thoir letter of authority, ho hands over
tho rest of tho pawrs, 'which join their
companions iu tho llacro. Tho olllcers
read to him tho warrant for his ar
rest. When thoy llnish, tho editor
savs:
''Well, nicino Ilorron, I am only a
salaried writer here. Thero stands
tho responsible editor."
Tho polico scowl at tho speaker and
march oil' tho responsible editor. It
frequently happens that tho uows
paper has ulrcady been sent out and
distributed throughout tho city, in
which case the polico must travel
around and get hold of all tho copies
thoy can. Thoy visit ovcry reading
room uuu caio in tlio city, and cut
tho obnoxious paragraph out from pa
per on tho lllcs. In Vienna thero aro
700 cafes, and ono can iinngino what
a job it is to visit each ono and look
for tho unfortuuato uowspupcr.
While tho polico are going tho
rounds of tho city, tho editor is pre
paring a second edition omitting tho
article which provoked tho wrath of
the Staats Auwalt. In tho center of
tlio simco this omission naturally cro
atcs tho word "Confiscated" is usually
inserted. A Berlin paper from which
a speech had been taken out, read in
tho second edition:
"Tho speaker mounted tho platform,
nnd began in a clear voico,
"Confiscated"
In Russia publications aro coufis
cated with greater regularity than
thoy aro issued. At tho frontier towns
tho foreign newspaper mail is regular
ly opened and read. When tlio old
cials come across something which
thoy think would lower Russia in tho
estimation of tho reader, to say noth
ing of political utterances, they lmvo
a very cll'ectivo method of doing away
with it. A roller, mado for tho pur
poso, is dipped in printer's ink and
carefully rubbed over tho paragraph,
after which tho paper is wrapped and
sent on to its address. Many a Russian
reader of German and American publi
cations has received his paper bearing
tho black mark. If tho olllcials noto
that somo ono person is repeatedly re
ceiving such forbidden ui tides, thev
report tho fact to St. Petersburg, anil
tho person stands an unenviable show
for Siboria. Now York Sun.
