ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Points on Furnishing a Bedroom With
Crape Paper.
For the trimmings I would select
either red , orange , pink or dark
blue , but of course one could use u
favorite color. I will begin with the
bed , as that is the most prominent
part of the room. For piilowshams
take ttfo pieces of the paper , each
three feet long , and join together by
overlapping edges and sewing care
fully together. Now take another
piece , four feet long , and cut in two
lengthwise. Carefully sew these
two pieces together , end to end , and
then run on to the body part , gath
ering a little as yougo. . Always
overlap edges when sewing , for the
work will not be neat if you do not.
When this is finished , sew on to all
seams common feather edge braid.
This gives a pretty finish and also
hides all seams. This will complete
the shams. Nov ? for the bedspread.
Take five strips five feet long and
sew together lengthwise. Finish the
seams with the braid and the end of
the spread with ruffles of the paper
and finish with the braid. Now for
the bureau cover. Take a piece one
and a half yards long and finish
ends with ruffles and braid. A
splasher may be made by taking one
yard of the paper and carefully turn
ing the ends over and sewing the
finish with the braid.
Curtains are quite difficult to
make , but with a little pains it can
be accomplished. Take a piece sev
en feet long and turn ends and
finish with the braid , and then put a
narrow ruffle of paper down the
front and around the bottom edges
and bind with braid. This is one
long curtain , and the opposite one is
to be made the same , but you must
be very careful about putting the
ruffle on or you will get it wrong.

Household Hints.
The longer and drier table linen
is ironed the better it looks.
To clean brass gas fixtures rub
them with cut lemons and then wash
them off in hot water.
A bruise may be prevented from
discoloring uy immediately applying
hot water or a little dry starch
moistened with cold water.
In boiling eggs hard put them in
hoi ] Invatcr ; ten minutes and then
fit them in cold water. It will pre-
( Mu th 2 yolk from coloring.
A harmless and cleanly treatment
: o < irive away mice is to saturate a
"loth with cayenne pepper in a solu
tion and stuff it into the hole. Dry
cayenne thrown about will keep ants
and coch roaches array.
Perfumed Linen.
Linen should be kept in perfumed
drawers. Sachets containing the
housewife's favorite scent scattered
about the drawer will impart the
perfume. Aromatic shavings , leaver
and flowers sewed up in bags may
be substituted for the sachets. Ce
dar shavings , cassia buds , powdered
sassafras , rose leaves , leaves of the
rose geranium , branches of lavender
and sweet verbena are till delicious
in odor. A few drops of perfume on
heets of white blotting paper will
.mpart a fragrance to linen.
Preserved Plume.
Pour boiling water over the plums ,
then remove the skin. Make a sirup
of one pound of sugar and a teacup
) f water to each pound of fruit and
.v'hen boiling hot pour over the
plums. Let it remain over night ,
then dniin , boil agniu , kinl and
pour over the plums. Lot them re
main in this another disy. then put
n-er the fire in sirup ar.d boil until
clear. Remove with skimmer , pack
Carefully in jars , boil the nrup until
thick , pour over the pi urns and seal.

A PARISIAN MARVEL.
Paris has a new marvel in a girl
dramatist , who , though only ten
years old , has composed several plays
of much precocity. She is Mile.
Champmoynat , and her literary
name is Carmen d'Assilva. The lit
tle one has been admitted to the So
ciety of Dramatic Authors and has
been complimented and encouraged
to persevere by M. Victorien Sardou.
The child herself states that her
brain is always working up dramatic
situations and incidents. She ob
serves everything that passes and
prefers large cities with their bus
tling crowds , which she studies , to
the quiet countrj' , where everything
seems to her inert and dead. The
precocious infant also tells people
that she comprehends everything in
life thoroughly. She has , in fact ,
learned to understand all the springs
of human action. Likely enough
she does , for she is a sad pessimist ,
this ten-year-old. The world is
abominable , in her estimation , but
amusing. Carmen is now writing a
comedy on woman before and after
marriage.
Long and Short Miles.
English speaking countries have
four different miles the ordinary
mile of 5,280 feet and the geograph
ical mile of G,085 feet , making a dif
ference of about one-seventh be
tween the two ; then there arc the
Scotch mile of 5,928 feet and the
Irish mile of 6,720 feet four vari
ous miles , every one of which is still
in use. Then almost every country
has its own standard mile. The
Romans had their mil passuum ,
1,000 paces , which must have been
about 3,000 feet in length. The Ger
man mile today is 24,318 feet in
length , more than four and a half
times as long as ours. The Dutch ,
Danish and Prussian mile is 18,4-49
feet , three and a half times as long
as ours , and the Swiss get more ox-
ercise in walking one of their miles
than we get in walking five miies ,
for their mile is 9,153 yards long.
Earned His Tip.
Secretary Shaw told this story on
himself the other evening :
"Sam , the darky who brushes my
clothes in a barber shop in Wash
ington , is particularly clever in deli
cately reminding customers that he
expects a tip. One morning just be
fore the Fourth I was thinking of
other-things and was walking away
without dropping a coin into his
hands.
" 'Let me brush your coat again ,
Mr. Secretarysaid Sam , running
after me.
" 'Why do you want to brush it
again ? ' I asked.
" "Cause , Mr. Secretarysaid
Sam without cracking a smile ,
' 'cause I might brush out some gold
dust , sir/

This famous pit was first dug by
Don Pedro Valdas in 1602. It is
110 feet square and 20 feet deep ,
and an eight foot wall incloses it.
A man dies , is buried in a rented
grave , is forgotten in a short time ,
and the rent is unpaid for one year.
Then his bones are dug up and
thrown among his ancestors' and
others' ancestors in the mass of
dead humanity. The grave , being
open , is held to receive the next
body.
A careful estimate puts the num
ber of human skeletons in the pit at
700,000.
The Sultan and Coffee.
The sultan's diet is very simple.
He eats very little of the plainest
food and never touches wine or
liquors of any kind , but consumes
enormous quantities of coffee , which
aggravates his nervousness. Up to
a few years ago a servant with a
coffeepot always followed him when
tie went out for exercise , and while
driving in the park coffee stations
were placed at frequent interval ?
where he could stop and refresh
himself. By the advice of his phy
sicians he now limits iiinire'f to five
or six cups of hifavorite bcveraijo

DOLLIVER ON TRUSTS.
He Show * IIlii Ignorance of the Real
State of Affair * .
Senator Dolllvcr was rather unfortu--
nato hi selecting the salt trust as an
example of his prophecy of the disso
lution of all the trusts. The facts ojC
the reorganization of the salt trust aro
that Rockefeller and the Standard Oil
company own the control of the Inter
national Salt company , which owns 00
per cent of the stock of the National
Salt company. The latter conipauy
controlled the stock of the United Salt
company of Ohio ami practically all
the other salt corporations in other
states , thus controlling the salt output
in the United States. The reorganiza
tion of thi > salt trust now going on in
the New Jersey courts Is to wipe out
the minority stock , and when the proc
ess is completed the Rockefeller inter
est of GO per cent will also own the 40
per cent of the minority stockholders.
This legal robbery will not dissolve the
salt trust. It will preserve audper
fect it.
The salt monopoly is a very valuable
one. The profits are enormous , and
since the Rockefellers and tlie Stand
ard Oil trust obtained possession of it
they have advanced prices 100 per
cent. This they were protected in do-
lug by the duty granted them under
the Dingley tariff bill. The duty on
salt in bags and barrels is 1 cents and
In bulk 8 cents per 100 pounds. These
duties vary from 30 to 100 per cent
and will average about 50 per cent.
Senator Dolliver in his efforts to min
imize the existence of the trusts that
the Republican policy of protection has
built up , by inventing the theory that
the trusts are beginning to dissolve ,
shows how hard pushed he was for
examples to prove it. In addition to
the salt trust he cited the linseed oil
trust as another trust that had its af
fairs wound up by the courts of jus
tice. The facts in the case are very
similar to those of the reorganization
of the salt trust , and the Rockefellers
are also in control of it.
Brother Dolliver Is rattled ou the
tariff and trust issues , and his speech
In Illinois to the National League of
Republican clubs shows it.
Mr. Dolliver's fiction may be taken
as gospel by the members of the Re
publican League of Clubs , ivho are
even afraid to take sides on the tariff
issue , but it will deceive no one Tho
has an ? trcnvlads of the tacts about
trusts.
