THE HOUSEHOLD.

CHEERY AND ATTRACTIVE

It Should be Convenient, Comfortable, Prac ical — Facts of Interest for Womankind,

To enjoy eating aud drinking, the room where we eat must be convenient,

comfortable, practical. To make it so |

is the duty of the mistress of the house, “Il faut qu’ une bonne maitresse de maison soit un peu gourmande, un peu frileuse, et un peu coquette.” ‘Tf she possesses these three instincts, she will certainly make her house pleasant and

wa The dining room must be |

disposed that for two persons en- joring the intimacy of a tete-a-tete din- ner it shall not seem dreary or large ; while it should fit equally a party of “not less than the Graces or more than the Muses,” and even accommodate a larger number of guests if necessary. For this a table that can be enlarged at will is required. When at its smallest dimensions, a cozy corner in winter. or a window in summer, may be more suitable for it than the middle of the room. The table may be square, round, or oval, but should stand firm, with as few inconvenient legs as possible. Old Spanish mahogany tables are handsom-, certainly, but equally good medern din- ing room tables are made. The side-

board isa great feature in the dining |

room, and should combine use and orna- ment. Thedateand design must be

decided by individual taste ; but avoid either the cumbersome and ungraceful edifice built some 50 years ago, or the would-be artistic construction of to-day, in ebonized wood or American walnut. enlivened by pieces of mirror, or indif- ferent paintings. Various pieces of fur- niture may do duty for a sideboard. A table with shelves above it; an old com- mode, Italian, French, or Flemish; or a sideboard of Chippendale design; which- ever you select, the chairs and decora- tions of the room should be in charac- ter. A dado to imitate paneling, or real paneling, about five feet high, looks weli in a dining room, as, when the chairs are drawn around the table, the wall does not look bare; moreover, a dado is a becoming background to people and to toilettes. Besides the sideboard, serving tables are necessary—one on which to place the extra things required for use during the meal, and another, out of sight. on which to remove what is done with, China, pottery, plate, glass, and even quaint ‘old pewter, form fitting decorations for the walls, placed on shelves, or in cupboards, with glass doors,

The chairs must be comfortable, and the carpet soft and thick, to deaden the sound of feet; a screen should be so placed as to shield all who may feel the draught from the door through which the service passes. Plenty of fresh air is necessary everywhere, but specially ina dining-room. The window must be opened wide the instant you and = guests leave the room and closed a

ittle time before returning to it, so that the air may be fresh and not cold. Most unpleasant is the smell of food, which having lingered in a dining-room, soon pervades the passages and the other living rooms, With care, even dining- rooms that are smoked in will be fres and sweet. A fire is a great purifier, carrying much that is obnoxious up the chimney, and causing the air to be light and dry, when smells do not cling so easily to walls and curtains. In the warm summer, when the windows are always open, the sun does what at other times is required of a fire. The sun and fire not only purify, they beautify all things. The light of day, and the various artificial lights by which it is replaced, should be so dealt with as to produce shade as well as light. ‘‘Domeneddio e un gran pee (God is @ great painter), says the Italian; what glorious depths of shadow are cast by his mountains and clouds, while through the trees the light and shade alternate, teaching us the beauty of contrast. Humbly, within the house, let us endeavor to repeat the lesson learnt outside,

Curtains and blinds in the daytime and judiciously placed aud shaded lights at night, should produce a _ picturesque light and shadow, instead of a uniform and dazzling glare. Curtains and blinds may be most various in price and tex- ture, but they can always be decorative. They may be of brocade, inclosing lace curtains, so fine and beautiful in design as to seem more fitted to adorn a woman than a window ; or they may be of silk with soft frilled India muslin curtains falling within them; or, again, they may be of serge or chintz, with inner ones of clear book muslin with broad hems. Frow these kinds, which will suit various tastes and purses, select whichever accords best with your furni- ture and means. Then hang them with

and neatness, and keep them al- waysclean, Elaborate draperies in the French or Italian style are pretty, but they collect dust. The blinds should suit the curtains. Delicate white ones look weil with brocade and lace, but outer blinds are necessary with them, Vienna reed blinds suit all curtains ; they ‘often the sunlight, which yet shines through them.—London Queen.

Best ‘For the Fairest.

The newest idea in hats is the sun- burnt color, and white satin ribbon and Mercury wings are used for trimming.

The clown sleeve, which is much newer than the bulging style of the early season. is composed entirely of ruffles from the elbow to the shoulder, The puffed sleeve is diminishing upward, and every fresh touch of fashion reveals a little more of the tight undersleeve.

Although hats are worn by young girls, bonnets are in tlie majority where ceremony of attire is required.

Colored shoes are more in favor than

ever for house wear, but black Oxford | ties are the only low shoes permissible

in the street, whife suede is the newest

thing in white shoes, and they are pointed |

off with white pate st leather, white suede or tan. Red morocco shoes are fashion- able for piazza wear.

Lace braces tasseled with jet are used

on evening dress as well as walking |

costumes,

A popular fabric for capes and ruffles is *‘Tulle Grecque,” which is anew name for Russian net.

An easy way of making a lice trim- ming distinct from the dress, to slip on as required, is a si-nple yoke of pie> lace with six-inch edging fu lel aronn itandalace collar to tisis: the ne or a Spanish jacket of lawe whiha du. turn-down frill all around the top.

THE ELECTROPHONE.

| By Its Aid You May Sit at Home and

as TO MAKE THE DINING ROOM

Hear the OGpers,

When the idea of the “theatrephone’ was firet mooted in Paris its feasibility was much questioned, but a Parisian syndicate took up the project with sah energy thatthe city has nuw effective service which supplies enteriaimment to a list of subscrivers numbering over 1500. and tie installation is connected with all the principal theatres,

London now seeks to emulate Paris in this sucecssful development. and an “electrophone” Compauy has Leen organ- ized with a very ambitious programme.

The electrophone is practically tse

telephoue mod:tied in such a manner as |

to serve the purpose of transmitting sound from public buildings, such as concert halis, theatres, cuurches and lecture rooins, to receiving points by conductors radiaiing from tuese centers of exchanges.

Thus tie public by the payment of a small fee, cus hear a portion of the en- tertainment procveding ut one or the other of the Londoas tueatres,

Specially cons::ucted tansmitters are

laced on the stage of the cheatre. just in frontof the footiigiiins, wweence the sound if conveyed over the wires of the loeal telephone company to the electro- plione exchanges for redistribution to

private subscrivers at: lig a system of automatic boxes ited up ia clubs, res- taurants, Tai.was stctius, hotels and similar places of prt'dic resort,

Itanmn is Gd... sel to go out in search of amusevuent, «canturn on the electrophone services in lis club or hotel, or even in his private ‘ouse, and have

immediaately t his command practical- ly the whole range of entertainment going oninthe city, In addition to counection wit ie tacatres and other places of amusement, it is proposed to connect the system with churches and the law courts.

It is even hoped that it will be possible to obtain the same privilege in the Llouse of Commons, and several members of parliainent are said to be strongly in tavor of the idea.

A commendable feature of the service will be its connection with the principal London hospitals free of charge, so that it will bea source of pleasure and com- fort to the thousands of suffirers who, during each year, are treated in those admirable institutions,

In addition to the sound service the electrophone Company proposes to at- tach an intelligence bureau to its central exchange for the convenience of subscribers where commussion of any kind will be carried out for a small

ee,

The bureau will be provided with a stenographer and typewriter and every requisite for saving time and troub'e. A subscriber will be able to have com- missions attended to in any part of the city by simply telephoning his wishes to the central Exchange.—Pittsburg Dispatch. Tablecioths,

A gay tea-cloth of fiue white linen is

wdered with wreaths of small flowers.

‘he wreaths are about as large asa silver doilar, and are each made up of the buds and flowers of one plant. There are wreaths of daisies worked in white with yellow centers, wreaths of forget-me-nots in pale pink and biue, wreaths of poppies and wreaths of violets. The foliage of the flowers is worked in shades of olive green, and each ribbon that bindsthe wreath is a small bow knot that matches the flower in color. An elegant dinner-cloth, with napkins to match, is of heavy, plain satin damask, so fine and soft it looks hike the Liberty satins. It has its entire surface powdered with conventional fleur de lis, about two inches and a haif long. The design is worked solidly in white cotton eimbroidery floss. The nap- kins have a smaller fleur de lis in three of the corners, and an initial intertwined with the one in the forth, Such a piece of work gets done almost without knowing it, if taken up at odd moments, anid when finished it will, with care, last more than a lifetime. White linen or cotton is preferred to white silk for such work, as it has been found that in time the silk turns yellow.—New York Evening Post.

Freaks of Figures.

An exchange devotes some space to an interesting discussion of *‘the freaks of figures.’ A dozen is con:monly supposed to be .welve single things. A baker's dozen is thirteen. A dozen of cotton yarn is just one *‘hank,” com of twelve “cuts.” A dozen of fish in some localities is twenty-six, and a dozen of pottery in the wholesale trade may mean two or it may mean fifty piecea, not de- pending on the actual number of pieces, but on the size, weight, etc., of the jugs, bowls, plates, etc. A rinter’s 1000 is only 960, but it takes 1200 staves to make 1000 in some sizes that are made for ex- port. In many of the trades, the terms “dozen,” “hundred” and “thousand” do not bear their literal English meanin but a technical one peculiar to each trade, as instone work, lath, shingles and cotton yarns. This technical per- version of plain English extends to most of our weights and measures, Thus a

alion may be 231 cubic iuches or it may f 265, in the school arithmetic four quarts make a gailon,eight gallons make a bushel, but in practice it takes ag quarts to make a bushel of corn, beans etc. This is because only the liq uld measure quart cup (231 cubic HD 0 to the gallon) is in use, while the dry-

measure gallon contains 265 cubic |

inches,

Profit in Little Things.

There is sometimes much profit in lit- tle things. The rubber pencii tip is said to have brought its inventor $100,000. The pasteboard trays for shipping eggs have earned the inventor a fortune. A common needie-threader brings an in- come of $10,000 a year to its inventor, vhile the “return tali” with a rubber

ring, it is credibly «s-erted, was worth

000 a year fora while to the man hho struck the notion.

"The Elliott Case, Beaxtrorp, Sept. 4.—~-Many citizens of

this city are will ng to vouch for the truth | of Frank Elliott’s statement that he was |

cured of kidney disease of six years’ stand- ing by the use of Dodd’s kidney pills.

Everyone is astonished at the rapidity of | thoroughness with which these pills do |

their work. As one wko had tried them

says: “‘A man feels, after using them, ae |

though he had never enjoyed life before.”

The Rymal case, in which a paralytic was |

cured by Dodd’s kidney pills, opened the | eyes of the people in this vicinity to the virtaes of this remedy.
