Old TypM Popular.
One ran use fine old English oak
dark with age or made to appear so.
Good old Knglish furniture in the
Jacobean, Elizabethan or William and
Mary styles are all good. o i the
Cothtc and any old Knarlish type, but
th furniture should be In keeping with
the tapestry. If you use Klizauethan
furniture do not put an Art Nauveau
tapestry on other wails, but one of the
reproduction of the period, that ran be
had of any cood importing; house. If
old KnaMish furniture Is usd, the lia-ht
fixtures must be in keeping; Hnd there
are fine ones In old RnM antique arold
an Inverted dome and shower lisrht In
oUi Knftlish type with iOe lights to
match. Tn thi? dining-room some Kna:
lih stems in VedKowmd and some old
hister Mare looks well in this room.
In the livinir-room there 1? a arreat
opportanlty to use rood reproduction
of fine pictures. There are some fine
foreign photoRrayhs that are excellent
In tone and color. A sood sepia re
production of any masterpiece In art
Is much better than a cheap painting In
either oil or water-color and then
framed will make the room a Joy to
everyone.
t IliRh rielvrea Mar Kffert.
Do not hang pictures too high. It is
a common fault to get the picture
'skyed." as the art students say. The
center of the picture should be In direct
line with the eye of a person of moder
at height, generally speaking, but of
course the space on the wall must be
taken Into consideration.
In the art schools and at the lec
tures given in the East and abroad to
decorators the subject of elimination
Is paramount. Eliminate with a capi
tal E is the cry. Io not overcrowd your L
room with useless glmcracks. As Mor
ris said, have a few rarely good things.
leautif nl things, and beautiful things
are always useful. That Is. a thing
must either satisfy th artistic sense
and be a thing of beauty filling Its ap
pointed place or el b of some use,
A good ru'e to follow In placing fur
niture Is this one of use. Place a
leading table where thr is the best
light put on It the necessary useful
tilings good substantial paper-knife
and shears a readirg glass, a new
magazine or two and a few handsome
books. A lamp of good design made of
us with shade without bead frings and
with good reflecting power. IMac the
chairs at the table where they will be
most convenient and have a footstool
near. This makes a grouping of furni
ture that takes away the s;iffness so
often seen in rooms. Several tables In
a room add much to its attractiveness,
and a low taboureite with a book or
two on If giv8 a touch of beauty and
usefulness. Book are the soul of a
bouse and one need never hesitate In
placing them In any convenient place.
A book just at one's hand is often a
boon, and a bedroom with several books
In It Is more attractive than without

early days used to furnish great sport
at :hla point with Its sturgeon flshlns.
Is recalled by K. C. Rogers, an early
pioneer of the city, who homesteaded
a tract of land not far from the present
city of Mood Klver, which at the time
was but a rmall country village. Fish
of this huge species, weighing as much
as 600 pounds, were often caught.
"John Dye." said the pioneer, recall
Ing the early days, was the most daring
of the early fishermen. He worked at
it all sea.ion Just for the fun of It. It

he ever derived from his labors, al

I have some trinkets yet that were

Dye married a squaw. He was quite
a hero among the local redskins, par

"The sport of spearfng sturgeon was

AUTHOR TELLS "FEMINISM"
French Writer Discusses Averscness
of Girls lo Doing Housework.
PARIS. March 9. (Special.) M. Jean
Finot. the editor of La Revue, has Just
reproduced his articles on Feminism in
book form, and very admirable reading
they are. "Preluge et Prohleme des
hexes'- is the title of the work. M.
Finot is one of the most enlightened
and fair-minded of critics on the sub
ject, and. like most men with quick and
humorous brains, sees the absurdity
because entirely useless of the "back
to the hearth" cry.
But. as In all movements, there is
the reverse side. That is represented
bv the revolt of the daughters of the
bourgeolse against housework. The
old "dusting" days are threatened. As
to mending. It Is taboo; as to cooking,
-We prefer Marcel Prevost and the
plino." A natural predilection, no
dcubt: but why not all three? What
more delightful change of employment
than going from the mysteries of the
kitchen to "lttres a Francolse"? How
ever, that is not the modern Idea,
though science has simplified household
routine to a great extent, leaving wo
man more leisure.
Yet the young person when she mar
ries stipulates that there shall be no
disagreeable drudgery and no chil

DISCOVERY RIVALS X-RAY
Bodies IJendcred Transparent oy
l"ae of Liquids.
LONDON. March 9. (Special.) A
public rival to X-rays has been un
covered by a German doctor. nicu.
though not applicable to living bodies,
will probably lead to a great extension
of knowledge in connection wun me
nervous system. By use of tne inven
tion the whole body can be renaereu
transparent, with the exception oi tne
nerves, which tnus oecoine viniuitr.
How the body Is made invisiDie is
explained by the fact that If it be im
pregnated with liquids which refract
light to the same extent as the body it
self, ravs of light striking the body
will pass through it instead or being
reflected. Two complicated organic
chemicals are used, and the mixture
has to be varied with the age of the

Hardwood Railroad Ties.
Baltimore American.
The Panama Railroad has made a con
tract with a firm in !anto Domingo for
75.000 bayahonda hardwood railway
ties. This purchase Is made after ef
forts to obtain a sufficient number on
the isthmus have failed. There is hard
wood tn Panama, but no one was found
who would guarantee to deliver so
large an order of ties at a reasonable
rate. Several contracts or agreements
have been entered into with other par
ties, but in all cases the contracts have
failed. Although the Initial cost of
hardwood ties is about twice that of the
softwood ties purchased in the United
States, and it is more expensive to lay
them, since each must be bored for the
spikes, they are more economical be
