J., hire terrified themselves dung the last four days looking at Harry Watson, • timer, while he was at work at the top ot the steeple ot the Crescent Ave- nue (.'hunrch. Watson is • daring fellow who makes • raving doing jolts where he has to climb dangerous heights without protee- tion. He hes climbed factory chimneys end waled edifices of .11 sorts, until he has become .o familiarised with the work that he mounts a stook of brickwork w.;li the same ease that he would drink • claw of beer. %% anon was busy at work yesterday afternoon, while a crowd of curious person stool in the street below waiting for hem to drop. He hung suspended from • rid com- posed of • cheer attached to • couple of roper Around his waist he had taken the preceutton to secure another rope. In re- moving the paint and other material from the tin roof Watson had used acids that had somehow got sprinkled on the ropes, and without the slightest warring nae of them gave way. The crowd yelled and scarcely had their shouts died away when the other rope, oo which such • suddad strain had been imposed, also gave way. The chair tumbled to the street below. Wataoo dangled from the rope that had been passed •round his waist. He swung to end fro in the sr as be cried to the excited crowd be- low to help him. He had fallen s few feet until the slack of the rope had been paid out, but le preserved his composure. He shouted instructions to the crowd, but it was only when some mea had climbed up in- side the steeple that his voice could reach then. As he swayed back and forth, 199 feet from the ground, the crowd in the stent looked on in the expectation of see- ing him drop e-tery instant. Finally a ladder was taken to the top window of the steeple and pained out and up toward him. He managed to relish it with his feet, arid while pain of hands steadied it below he luossoed the rope about hint and desoended amid the cheers of the crowd. Merer'• Uala Harry Willis hsd six hats. There was his best hat -a round cloth ha-. with stern- al up brine, a striped bicycle cap. two polo cap, • sloth cap with • peak, and a straw hat. Yes h. hid • sailor hat besides. T. at nukes seven. Rut for alt that he was the most hatless boy t ever heard of. Every time he went out he had a terrible time hunting for a hat to wear. Dee day everybody was ready to no driv- ing -everybody except Harry. He was looking for • hat. Papa called that if Harry didn't come soon he'd go without him. M mutate was just getting into the carriage, but she turned Beek. What's the trouble, Harry!" she said. " I can't find my hat," rephled Harry. "Somebody always takes it away and hides it." "Where did you put the last one you wore!" "Well 1 don't know.- said Harry, looking perplexed. "I think on the hall table, or oo the s ifs in the antes( roo.n, or perhaps 0o the bookcase, or in the dining room, or perhaps" --- "The other day when you came is I saw you throw your hat across the sittiee room ani it flew behind the sofa," said Widget. "It isn't any such I mean you must be mistaken, Bridget, Now, that's my last hat somebody hu hidden them all I haven't seen my sailor hat for a week, non the peaked cap either. 11• st my beet hat last sundae and my bicycle cap three days ago.

Somebody hides them on purpese... suppose you look behind the sofa, Harry,suggested mamma. "i must go. Papa won't wait any longer " it isn't there I know." But Harry ran in to see. He pulled out the sofa with • deapsrste tug and looked behind it.

HOW TO MAKE THE DINING ROOM CHEERY ANO ATTRACTIVE It sb.eht b. C.a.wieat. C...f.rtabis. rise t.s1 - roma. .t lat.eest t.r wesseaaW. To enjoy eating and drinking. the room where we eat must Ile convenient, comfortable, practical. To make it iso is the duty of the mistress of the hour. "11 taut qu' une bonne nattresee de OWING Boit un peu gourmands, un pec trillium, et un peu coquette.' If .he pofsseses these three instincts. she will certainly make her hone Ideasant and comfortable. The dining room must be so disposed that for two persona en- joying the intimacy of a tete-a-tete din- ner it shall not seem dreary or large ; while it should tit equally a party of "not Tess than the Graces or more titan the Yews," and even accommodate a larger number of guests if necessary. For this a TAW. that can be enlarged at will u required. When at its smallest dimensions, • cozy corner in winter. or a window in summer. may be more suitable fur it than the middle of the roam The able may be muerte round, or orkl, but should sand firm, with as few inconvenient Iegs as possible. Old Spanish mahogany tables are handsome, erortainly, but equally good modern din- ing room tables are made. The side- board is a great feature in the dining room, and should combine use and orna- ment. The date and design must be decided by individual taste : but avoid either the cumbersome and ungraceful edifice built some 30 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 talk with shelves above it; an old com- mode, Italian, French, or Flemieb; or a sideboard of Chippendale design; which- ever you select, the chain and decora- tions of the room should be in charac- ter. A dado to imitate paneling, or nal paneling, about five feet high, looks well in a dining room, as, when the chairs are drawn around the table, the wall does not look bare: moreover, a dodo is a becoming background to people and to toilettes. Decides the sideboard, serving tables are necessary -one on which to o. the extra things required for use during the meal, and another, out of sight, on which to remove what is done with. Chins, pottery, plate, glass, and even quaint old pewter, form fitting decorations for the walle, placed on shelves, or in cupboards, with glans doors. The chain must be ohmfortable, 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 finen the door through which the service passes. Plenty of fresh air is neoeseary everywhere, Lut specially in • dining -room. The window must be opened wide the instant you and your guests leave the room and closed a little time before returning W 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 fresh and sweet A fire is a great purifier, carrying much that w 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 nuc and fire not uoly purify, they beau:ify all things. The light of day, and the verioua artificial lights by which it is replaced, should be so dealt with 04 to produce shade as well as beta. "leoneneddio e un gran pittore" (God is a 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 me this beauty of contrast. Humbly, within the house. let us endeavor to repeat the lesson learnt outside. ('urtains and blinds in the daytime and judiciously placed and shaded lights at night, ehuuld produce a picturesque light and shadow, instead of a uniform and dazzling glare. Curtains and Winds may he most various in price and tex- ture. but they can always be decorative. They may be of brocade, inclosing lace curtains. w 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 he 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 accede beet with your furni- ture awl means. 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 dust. The blinds should stilt the curtains. Delicate white oafs leak well with brocade and lace, but outer blinds are necessary with them. Vienna reed blluds suit all curtains ; they eaten the sunlight. which yet shines through them. -Rendon Queen. s.N row tb.

Morse's telegraph was made practical in 1437. The Western Union now lies 734.10.4 miles of wire and sends 62,0001,- 000 messages a year. The world's bust- ness is transacted partly by means of 246,000,000 messages sent every year. la. 1883 there were in Europe 41,130 tele- graph offices. The world in 188,8 had 767,800 miles of telegraph wires. Last year 283,495 persons visited the Victoria Niagara Falls Park (on the Canadian sides which was nearly 40,000 Tess than in 1891.
