A Maudenlng Mistake.
I lounge and listen In the gloom;
A dainty footfall as light as down,
A subtlu porfumo In the room,
The whisper of a silken gown.
I dimly fool a presuneo ucar.
My heart beats high In sudden hope,
And then, although no word I hear,
I know 'tis shu, my Penelope!
She steals In sllunco to my side,
I feel her breath upon my face:
What though a hell were yawning wide!
I.tfu, Heaven, all, for one embrace!
I clasp her swiftly In my arms,
I hold her closely to my breast.
And she is mlnu and all her charms,
And passion Is no more repressed.
Exultlngty I think of ulut-
Of Holllngwoml, who loves In vain:
If he but know, from gay to grim
Would pn his uiissl In Jealous pain.
Oh, moments of a mad delight!
Nonu so sweet as she, I know:
The nxnii grows darker with tho night,
"My Hnlllngwoodl" sho murmurs low.
That voice! a light! In quick imnze
1 turn to look, and by my life,
Thu f.u-o that meets my starthsl gaze
Is that of-dosh It nlll-iny wlful
Itfitrlbutlou.
1 came, 1 saw-, I pressed her hand;
I beggi-d her for a kiss.
She blushed, looked down I stole tho prize.
It was a dream of bliss.
I've wakened from my dream since then
That Mas has cost mede-ar.
I'm pa) It g alimony now
For It twelve times a )ear. Judge.

When earthly days no further solace keep;

Tho hIiikIow silk, with Its clintigciililc
Imukgrotitnl and design of I'ohca, hops
mid clematis blending in micli harmony
of natural color, Is most dcHirnhlu, not
only for curtains ami tortieres, but for
wall hntigiugH as well. Thin mnkcH pic
ttircH in n room unnecessary ns wall
ndortimuntH. Tho plantation cloth in
olivu, browns ami grays also tniikes very
ilt'fllrublo (lraHjrlcH. Tho green cloth,
with cat tails, miu1 IIUch, etc., worked
in whito upon it, maku very pretty de
signs for curtains, jiortiorvH nml table
cloths, A room done in Madagascar grass
cloth is odd ami cool. Tho cloth comes
in strips, every ono dllTerent, yet nil har
monizing: tho ctirtuiiiM ami ortlcrc.H
hung lengthwise, ciiHhiontMtml tidicH o:i
tho bias. Thu latent is an English nov
elty cloth, thu prettletd being hoii green
in huu, with a waving lino in cream
color running through it, resembling the
waves of thu sea. It comes lu square
with designs of shell ami ilsh in each
comer. For curtains, portiorea nml bed
spreads theso are united with n fancy
stitch. Mantels aro to bo guiltless of
draperies. Many of olishel wood have
a row of gilt hooks, utioii which are
hung souvenirs. Duck or linen, with
pretty designs of tlowers, is now being
used ns n friezu. Curtains should hang
straight at thu right side, ami with tho
draiied effect at thu left.
For a door panel, or in fact any kind
of a panel, cloth of coppor or silver i
very beautiful. Ono sceno having a de
sign acrosH thu top worked in gold was
a draiied llshuut: at thu bottom rushes
ami shells. It was attached to a door;
above ami at tho sides in artistic folds
fell a green plantation cloth curtain; the
effect given was that of looking into a
great distance.
That audacious bounty, Lady Teazle,
has been handed down to famu asso
ciated with a screen, but it is with the
use, not abuse, of this ornamental arti
cle that wo wish to deal. From being
merely unwieldy contrivances to shelter
from thu draft thu screens have become
among the greatest ornaments of the
homo, nml no room seems to bo furnished
without onu or moro. The threefold
parlor screen is tho most fashionable:
for summer the bamboo or whito enam
el frame is very desirablu. Thu panels
may bu of figured silk or to match tin
draperies of thu room.
One can be used to shut in a cozy nook
in the sitting room. In a corner it is
fashiouablo to swing a hummock, well
filled with cushions, where the fair
members of the family may enjoy the
lutest novel or slumber undisturbed by
chance intruder. Abundance of cush
ions should next bo supplied for couch,
window sent and easy chairs; also head
rests, to take tho place of tidies. Those
of linen, plantation cloth nml denim,
with designs of flowers, llsh and love
knots upi them, aro cool and inviting
ns well as artistic.
lu tho window should bo u Japanese
hanging vasu filled with flowers or
leaves, ns tho fresh green mid natural
plants aro a reliof to tho eye. A hollow
seated Indian stool with a cushion tijion
it: a fow easy chairs: a table with at:
afternoon tea set, ono for papers and
books; a few old fashioned ornaments
on tho mantel: a little open cabinet in
whito enamel and gold, with bric-a-brac
upon it: a catchall in linen of banner
form; u pretty wall ornament in the
shnpo of a largo palm leaf fan cov
ered with silk; a Bplder wub with a
spider worked upon it, with a bunch of
reeds und grasses caught in tho center,
will mnko a very pretty, nrtistic, invit-

Paris Fashions.
Varnishing day at tho salon is an oc
casion for tho displuy of our prettiest
cotumcs, and wo must plead guilty of
trying to outdo our neighbors in the
matter of haudsoino costumes, and in
my opinion tho living figures thnt puss
serenely along looking at tho paintings
are moro interesting than tho pictures.
Tho dresses aro so pretty, tho parasols so
light and airy, nmdo as they aro of filmy
chiffon lightly festooned over a framo of
pale silk, and the hats nro so becoming,
and tho wraps so rich with gold em
broidery, and tho laco and ribbon so
much of it is used now, moro, I think,
than over beforo.
Tho spring wraps simply rovel in rich
embroidery in metal threads, and almost
every costnmo which will staim u bos

"It doesn't seem," ho suddenly ex

A KINO COMING TO THE FAIR.
The Itiilim if Slum Having Yacht Hull!
fir the Long .lonriirjr.
Somdetcli 1'lira I'nramiudo Mnhn Khoul-
nlonkoru, king of Hlani, Is having built In
Scotland n splendid private yacht In which
hu proposes to make a tour of the world.
Ilu will come to America during tha
World's fnlr, and doubtless visit ninny
other places besides Chicago, llu will bo
tho first eastern poteutntc, If wo except
King Knlakuuu of Hawaii, to visit tha
TIIK KINO OF SIAM'fl YACHT.
United States, nml probably hu tokos this
time for Ids visit on account of tho fntu of
thu larger part of tho Siamese exhibit nt
thu Centennial exhibition In 18Tti K ar
rived on thu grounds one dny after tho ex
hibition had closed. What tho king had
to any to his commissioners nlxmt this Is
not known, but ns ho Is an nbsolttu mon
arch It Is likely thnt ho nmdo It warm for
them In true oriental style. Thu king is
now In his thirty-ninth year nml hns
reigned ever since hu wns fifteen, so it Is
likely thnt by this timu hu Is well used to
his job.
Tho British have recently annexed Bur
mall, which thu Siamese feel is getting
pretty close to them, where for a long time
the English have tried to exert a prepon
derating lulliieuce. Thu king evidently
wishes to get some personal knowledge of
Kurnpcun and especially of Kugllsh meth
ods. In 1837 ho sent two of his brothers to
tho queen's jubilee in London. They were
educated men of most charming manners,
and their polished courtesy reminded those
who met them of thu cultivated Japanese
who havu traveled through Kuropo and
America.
Thu yacht that thu king has ordered is
to bo of 2,U00 tons burden, nlmost twlco tho
size of thu largest private yacht yet built
In Kit rope. It is also to bu something of a
wnr vessel, as It will enrry brondsidu guns
and guns of large caliber in broadside tur
rets, whllu on tlio decks machine gnus will
bu mounted. Thu king's Instructions to
thu builders wero thnt they should maku
him thu fattest and most luxurious ship
afloat. With thu best Intentions the build
ers mny not bo able to do this, for speed in
ships llku speed in horses is a mighty un
certain thing. In ships it cannot bo at
tained by mathematical calculations in
designing either hull, boilers or engines.
Of two ships laid upon thu samu Hues ami
with exactly the samu power, ono may be
5M per cent, faster than the other.
It would bu interesting to know what
tho king of Siiiiu will think of crowded
Europe and bustling America after leav
ing his own country of only nbout 0,000,000
inhabitants. 'Hut his capital city of Bang
kok with Its 000,0(10 people is a largo place,
for they aru not lodged, as are tho people in
modern cities, in towering buildings that
like beehives swarm with life, Hour over
lloor. But royal met', like savages, rarely
express surprise and it is likely that King
Khoululou'coru will so nil thu wonders of
western civilization nnd maku no sign.
.Sniokii.g Kclentll'cutly Considered.
Dr. Jules Itochard, of the French Acad
emy of Medicine, has published lu The
Kuvuu des Deux Mnndes a popular pres
entation of the good and evil effects of to
bacco smoking. The good effects, thu nil
tlior thinks, are so negative ns to bu of
little account, us theru is nothing healthy
In thu habit, whllu thu evil effects aro so
many that thu most hardened smokerafter
reading thu article will feel like throwing
away his cigarettes, cigars nnd pipes, nnd
stimulating his nerves with tea. In thu
first place, nicotine, ns every ono knows, is
an active poison which sometimes hns
fatal effects. Thu writer finds that most
smokers aro dyspeptic; that excessive
smokers tiro disposed toward heart disease,
nnd especially angina pectoris, and thnt
pipo smokers lire likely to hnvu cancer of
thu lips nnd tongue. But, after nil, Dr.
