Fak'ts of Interest for Worn liking. To njoy eating and drinking, the room here we eat must be convenient. comfo ,table, prac ical. To make it 80 is the uty of the ii istress of the house. "Il f Ut piune. bonne maitreese de mitiso soit un pe i gourmande. un peu frileu e, et- un eu coquette." If she poSees es these th ee instincts, she will certai ly make h r house pleasant and comf rtable. ' Th dining room must be so d' posed that for two persons en- joyin the intima y of a tete-a-tete din- ner it Shall not eem dreary or large; while it should ±t equally a party of "not ess than th Graces or more than the uses," and even accommodate a large number 4f guests if necessary. For t is a table tat Can be enlarged at will s required. When at its smallest dime sions, a oozy corner in winter. or a wi dow in summer, may be more suita le for it than the middle of the room The:tabl may be square, round, or ov 1, but shou d stand firm, with as few i convenien legs as possible. Old Span sh mahoga y tables are handsome, certa nly, but e ually good modern din- ing oom tables re made. The side - boar is a great feature in the dining roo , and shoul combine use and orna- men . The da and design must be deci ed by - indi idual taste; but avoid eith r the cumb rsome and ungraceful edifi e built nom 50 years ago, or the wou d -ba artistic construction of to -day, in bonized w or American walnut. enli ened by pie es of mirror, or indif- fere hpaintings. Various piecei of fur- nitu e may 'do d ty for a sideboard. A tabll with shelv s above it; an old coin- rno4e, Italian, F ench, or Flemish; or a side rd of Chi pendale design; which- ' eveit you select, Ithe chairs and decora- tion of the roon should be in charac- ter. J A dado to mitate paneling, or real pa ling, about tive feet high, looks well in a dining room; as, when the chairs are drawn around the table, the wall doe not look bare; moreover, a dado is aleecorning b ' kground to people and to toilettes. J3esides the • sideboard, ser ing tables are necessary—one on wh ch to place the extra things required for use during the meal, and another, out of sight,- on which to retnove what is 4lone with. 1 China, pottery, plate, glnes,' and even quaint old pewter, forin fitting decorations for the walls, placed orqshelves, or in cupboards, with glass d Ors.' The chairs must be comfortable, and the carpet soft and thick, to deaden the so nd of feet; a screen should be so pl4tced as to shield all who may feel the d aught from the door through which t e service passes. Plenty of fresh air is j necessary everywhere, but specially inja dining -room. The window must b4 opened wide the instant you and y ur guests leave the room and closed a li tie time before returning to it, so that t e air may be fresh and not cold. ost Unpleasant is the smell of food, hich having lingered in a dining -room, a4on pervades the passages and the other 1 ving rooms. With. care. even dining - rooms that are smoked in will- be fresh 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 *arm summer, when the windows are always open, the sun does what it other times is required of a fire. The sun and lIre not only purify, they beautify all things. 1 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. "Dorrieneddio e • un gran pittore" (God is a great painter), saysahe 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 less= learnt outside. Curtains and blinds in the daytime and judiciously placed and 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. From these kinds, which will suit various tastes and purses, select whichever accords best with your furni- ture and meane. Then hang them with grace and neatness, and keep them al- ways clean. Elaborate draperies in the French or Italian style are pretty, but they collect duet. The blinds should suit the curtains. Delicate white ones look well with brocade and lace, but outer blinds are necessary with them. Vienna reed , blinds suit all curtains; they soften the sunlight, which yet s shines through them.—London Queen. 11 33.6S-1VICMIZS., A General Banking business transacted. Farmets' notes discounted.

The newest -idea in hats is the sun- burnt color, and white satin ribbon .and Mercury wings are used for trimming. The lown 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 .sleesfSt 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 the majority where ceremony of attire is required. • Colored shoes are more In favor than ever for home wear, but black Oxford tiesare the only low shoe e permissible in the street, while suede iS the newest thing in white shoes, and they are pointed off with white patent leather, white suede or tare • Red morocco shoite are fashion- able for piazza wear. — Lace braces tasseled with jet are used on evening dress as wellj as walking ooste Ines. A popular fabric for capes and ruffles is "Tulle Grecque," whih s anew name for Russian net. An easy way of making a lace trim- ming distinct from the drees, to slip on B s required, is a simple yoke of piece lace with six-inch edging fulled around it and a lace collar to finish the neck, or a Spanish jacket of lace l with a deop tton-down frill all around the top. INCESSANT TALKERS. They Bore Everybody With Whom They Come in Contadt. To be a good talker does not mean that you must talk all the time. The art of conversation lies quite u much in knowing how to listen and i to draw out iw adroit Questioning as to babble ihedis -,*is11111 IsaIlidf. _LIMO are some people who -talk all the time._ but never say anything after all it1,t is worth remembering. Such characters are responsible largely for the supposition that onecan be talked • to death, and as sorry as we are to .say so, the fact remains that ,wonien ar t generally of that order,_ like tile brook going on forever, and driving their hi:t- enet's mad witli flieir incessant cackle that means nothing. Everyone of us know such an individ- ual. She is generally plain of face and feature and would be a real good soul if at some period of her existence she had not been told that she was bright. To live up to this reputation she t oinks it necessary to gabble, gabble, telling yon al ivitys iu her coy way that her husband looked for brains not beauty when he choose her. • Poor man—if appearances count for anything he evidently wishes that he had married a Woman dumb in more senses than one,though he would never have the courage to air any convictions of that sort. ; There is no conversation where such creatures abound. Frain beginning to end it is a monologue ot no possible in- terest to anyone but the owner. of the voice that goes on forever. We are a selfish lot and frankly confess that it isn't a bit of fun to do all the listening when we are just dying to get our oar in and do a little showing off ourselves. —Philadelphia Tittles. Americans In European Society. Americans fail to realize that Euro- peans recogniee no social or clue dis- tinction in this country. Our people know that this is a republic, that it has been a republic for more than a ceitury and that the principal doctrine Avon which tlie entire national fabric is founded is that of universal eptality. They cannot, therefore, understand that -there should beany kind of class distinc- tion or gradations of society. In :their eyes all Americans are equal, and the question as to what coterie or Clique their American acquaintances belong to in this country weighs but very little with the grand monde in Europe. It is utterly im material to them Whether their American acquaintance has ever had a grandfather or not, or if he had, who his grandfather was. They do not bare one brass farthing whether he or she happens to be a "born millionaire." or a "made niillionaire," and they take their American friends purely and en- tirely on their individual merits, alto- gether irrespective of the social status and prestige they may enjoy on this side of the Atlantic. But once an American has succeeded in getting himself accepted by the best European society his position is really a most delightful one, since he is regarded as beyond the pale of class distinction and is allowed a freedom and a latitude which would never be accorded to any native. no matter how high his or her rank. Notwithstanding all that is claim- ed to the contrary, there are relatively verY. few Americans who may really be said to have penetrated the inner circles of European society. --Vogue. !The Face That Attroots.• A lever Boston author, with whom Arlo Bates talked about_ the artists' festival, to which all the world went in costume of the time of the renaissance, .remarked that it avas impossible to get over the habit of looking at the faces of the persons -present and of neglecting to examine their costume unlesa with an effort to turd the attention. "It is simply because we are so acbgs- turned to finding the costume, and especially' the costume of men, so ttnin- teresting that we never think of looking at it," one remarked. "I am not surs,". the author' returned, - "that it doesn't go a good deal deeper than that, and that there is not a profound psychological reason there. The face is the tning which expresses the mind, and the whole tendency of divilization is toward the keener appreciation of the mental side of being, .•We have suppressed costume in man because we are more interested in his face, ;and we do not care to be distract- ed from it. That is only one phase of the process of evolving the appreciation of the mental. We do not, as a matter of fact, euro for clothes in this age—I mean as a race. There are of course ex- ceptions, and there is still personal vanity, as there always must be. It is possIble. to get up this sort of a show, not'because anybody is greatly interest- ed in the cotitumeof others, but because each,is Willing to admire himself and -to allow others to admire him," • Tile Soldiers' Pace In Marching. Colonel Hutton reminds us that thb marching Vaill3 of the army is that of its avorst regiments rather than of its best, for we cannot afford to out -march our worst regiments and :thus deplete - them of their inen, The rate of march- ing laid down in the infantry drill, 1802 —that is, 120 paces' of 30 inchesper min- ute—gives a rate of 3 miles 720 yards per hour or, including the five minutes' halt, 3 miles 220 yards per 55 minutes. This paco is, in the opinion of this officer, obviously- too great for the movement of larger units of command than a batal- Lon''rtor perhaps of a weak brigade with- out ba:riti.t-e train.. It is universally ac- - ceptedhl3y continental authorities that the rate for marching under campaigning :conditions is 2 -It miles per hour, iuctud- ,ing 5 to 10 minutes halt. The French, who have the tradition of • being the best marchers in Europe, lay dewn in precise form the rate of march ,for their infantry at 2 48.100 miles per hour, including 10 minutes' halt, giving, therefore. 2 48-100 miles in 50 minutes, or 87 5-100 yarde per minute. The Alpine chasseurs—the pick of the french in- fantry, who take special pride in their marching powers—march at the rate of five kilometers, or.3 1-10 mi1eS7 per hour. including 10 minutes' halt. or 3 1-100 miles in iO minutes,—London News. ering could be had in any locality in the county. The old people preeent were Mrs. Wm. McKay, (Bain), Eben Suther- land, Angus McKay (Spring Cottage), Mr. and Mrs. Angus McLeod, Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Murray, (Masori), Mrs. Wm. Gunu, Nils. J. M. Rose, Mrs. George Metheson, Ceromin Gordon, Mies Jane Roof. These were Li I born in Scotland and were among the fie.c settlers in the township of West Zorn . The aggregate of their ages amounted to 1,051 years. The story of each one's life would be an interesting one if It could be told— there is a record of it on high. Perhaps the -saddest experience of all these was that passed through by Mrs. Sutherland herself. In the month of August, 1849, she and her husband and family of thirteen were in the city of Hamilton—it was the time of the Asiatic cholera. It entered her home and carried away her husband and four of the children, together with her son-in-law and grandchild. To hear her tell the story of those dark days is enough to make an angel weep. She came to Embro shortly after with her surviving children, and here she has lived ever eine°. Here and Elsewhere. The hull of a ship was uncovered recently while digging for the foundation for a large building on Front Street, New York. The vessel must have been; stranded years and years ago, in what, ocording to the old maps, Wall a dock. A ',broken pipe, a mug, and two or three oldI" coins were found. Only part of the hull opal be removed, as a building rests on the other part of it. A new school has been opened in New York to train men to enter the Fire Depart- ment. . The ides is to r train men who pro. pose or who wish to beaome firemen, so that when they enter the department they will not be novices or apprentices'but skilled workmen. The efficiency of the New York Fire Department is a iource of pride to its citizens, and the establishment of this train- ing -school is another step in its progress to- ward perfection. The City Hall Park' in New 'York had a strange and unusual visitor one morning last spring: On one of the branches of a big tree was discovered an owlIt was bitterly cold, and his feathers were all ruffled, and he looked- very unhappY. A crowd gathered about, boys hooted at him and throw snow- balls. 1 At last some ene suggested shooting him, and, whether he understood or not, he shook himself, spread his wings, and sailed away, to the great disappointment of a crowd -of newsboys. Miss Kate Marsden's Work. The heroism that one endorses for the sake of helping otheris the ideal life of this age, and it is iaot often that we find such noble examples as thet of Miss Marsden in her work for the Siberian leper/. An English woman of pleasing and gen- tle mannere, a member of the Imperial Red Cross Society, and a distinguished member of the Royal British Nurses' Association, Miss Marsden left a field that offered plenty of work to carry to those unfortunate peo- ple of the Arctic regions the promise of a better life in their miserable existcnoe. In the winter of 1890, after considerable preliminary preparation, the weary and dangerous journey across the steppes was begun, the incidents ef which were anything but agreeable. Sledging over rough roads with unreliable drivers way the only means of transportation, and the post houses, the only stopping p1aces,1 afforded only meager entertainment. A few dry biscuits, a glass of tea, and a bed of sheep skins and rugs were the best that Could be obtained, and here the air was always very impure. On arriving at her destination Miss Mars- den found the lepers in a deplorable con- dition ; besides the terrible horroru of the disease the unfortunate people were living in filth and in the same huts with the cat- tle. Not only did they suffer from expos- ure to the extreme oold of the Arctic, winter, but their only food consisted largely of put- rid fish and the bark of trees. Miss Mars - den's description of the condition and suf- fering of the lepers I is heartrending, and it is to secure mans to return and establish hospitals and take hack some of the com- forts of life to these outcasta. that she is now in America. In the woman's building at the World's Fair is a small exhibit, the articles of which are for sale, and with the proceeds of these, her book and a course of lectures, Miss Marsden hopes to be enabled to not only erect hospitals and provide food and cloth- ing, but also establish schools and other- wise make the lives of these unfortunate people more comfortable, The Largest Salmon. • An enorituais salmon was exhibited in Mr. Grove's shop, Bond street, London„ a few days a..-•;‘).

Among them may be men- tioned the names of Mrs. McDonald (Car- der), Roderick 'Roes (Turbert); Mr. McIn- tosh and Mr. Abernethy. The only surviv- ing one so far am we know at _present, be- sides Tire. Sutherland, is Mr. WnihMurray, on the 64h line, who has attained the great age oi 94. By invitation of her son Hector and with a corn ?any of old friends gathered to cele- brate this remarkable anniversary. It is ver- doubtful whether such a unique gath- To Ward Off Cholera. It seems that we can successfully fight cholera with oranges and lemons. The Im- perial health office of Berlin has issued an announcement to the effect that oranges and lemons are both fatal to the cholera bacillus. Placed in oontaot with the out surface of the frut, the bacteria survive but a few hours. They remain active for some time longer on the uninjured rind of the fruit, but even then they die within twenty-four hours. The destructive property as regards the cholera bacteria is supposed to be due to the large amount of acids contained in those fruits. In consequence of this quality, the health officer considers it unnecessary to place any restrictions on the transit and sale of these fruits, even if it should be ascer- tained that they come from places where cholera is prevalent at the time. Not a sin- gle instance was noted where cholera was disseminated by either oranges or lemons: The Highlander's Sabbath. An entertaining and instructive lecture on the" Highlands and Highlanders" was delivered by Professor Blackie in the West Established Church, Cambuslang—the Rev. John Elder presiding. There was, of course; a good attendance, and those present were treated to.a moot instructive and in- teresting address. Professor Blackie's ut- terances sparkled,, as usual, with wit and humor and pawkyobservation. Among the anecdotes illustraitve of a phrase of High' land character told by him wes a capital one which he had from Dr. Norman Macleod. The parish minister of the Barony remarked to him that on the Monday the Highlander might be as jolly as possible, and on the Saturday as drunk as Bacchus, but on the Sabbath he Must, wear a long, solemn face, and apeak soarcely a word. Dr. Macleod had then given a delightful little illustration of the Highlander in his best Sabbaterian mood. A father and son, who had to walk fifteen miles to &lurch, journeyed on one occasion for ten miles of the way without the interchange ;f a syllable, when the son remarked—" It' a fine day this, father." " Ay," replied the parent in dismal reproof of the frivolity of the remark? " ay, but it's no' a day to be epoken about," —A fire bielte out in the planing mill property of Mr.i C. C. Rock, of Logan, on Tuesday; last week, completely destroying the mill and damaging the house consider- ably.

Eizerman, of Mit- chell, who wate burned out at his own home a few weeks ago. There was $1,500 insur- ance on the mill.
