Within the last five years wall decora tion has advanced with rapid strides, and enormous prices are now paid for the interior decoration of houses. In fact, the interior decoration of a mod ern house sometimes exceeds in cost the building and material of the house itself. A gentleman who has one of the finest houses in Jersey City went to a first-class interior decoration house in this city a short time ago. His house was a new one. and he desired to have the wall3 and ceilings treated in the latest styles. He was shown into a handsomely furnished room, and re quested to seat himself on an em broidered plush upholstered chair made of antique or bog oak, and valued at six hundred dollars. After a few ques tions concerning the house, the size of the rooms, the light, and so on, the gentlemanly clerk said he would show him a few styles of parlor decorations, carefully adjusting a rack meantime, in order that the right amount of light should fall on it. A delicate paper, in which the pattern, wrought in har monious colors, stood on a background faintly threaded with gilt, was placed on the rack. Anolher roll of the same pattern was placed beside it, in order to give a larger surface. A frieze to match and a deep gilt molding be tween the frieze and paper, to break the monotony, completed the wall decora tion. Then came a colored wood mold ing above the frieze, to show in what coTor the base of the cornice was to bo painted. The other parts of the cornice will have to be treated differently, so as to tone with the ceiling decorations," said the clerk. Now 1 will show you some styles of frescoed ceilings to go with this side'-wall decoration." Several cards, with elaborate and beautiful paintings of ceilings, were now shown. That is a verv pretty one," said the customer, selecting one. "Yes, it will harmonize well with the paper, also." "It seems to me the whole thing is perfect," said the Jerseyman, delighted at his suices in fnding what he wanted, and certain that his parlors would be the envv of his friends. Well. I am glad you like it," re sponded the clerk. "As I have now an idea of your Uste, I can easily fix the other rooms. Perhaps, however, before we co anv farther, we bad better say how much you are willing to spend on the house. When I know that, I will to over and see your house and make measurements, and will then show 3 011 the styles for each room that we can give you at your price." I have two paper-hangers over in Jersey City whom I had thought of let ting do the work," began the gentle man, doubtingly. "Oil, no; that won't do," replied the clerk. "It requires an artist to hang that paper so. that it won't show the seams, and we would have to fresco the ceiling anyhow. All the work will bo figured in with the cost of the j'b. . It will only cost you the price of the board of the workmen extra. That will be about three dollars per day for each one." The Jerseyman's face fell a little. But he felt that he was in lor it, and might as well see it through. He had been willing to pay $1,000 for the sake of eclipsing his neighbors. He would double that amount now. "Well," he said to the clerk, who was carelessly twirling a diamond ring on his linger, " I am willing to be lib eral in this matter. See what you can do for $ 2,000." The clerk looked dumfounded. For a moment he seemed paralyzed; t'nen going to the rack ho threw t! e mold ings on the floor, and, taking out a roll of paper, he said, coldly: "I guess you have not got a very 5ood idea of tie cost of decoration, 'hat ceiling you looked at would cost vou $1,500 alone. This paper is a hand-made French print, and is worth l?12 a roll. It would takj thirty rolls to the ordinary-sized parlors. It would take about 200 feet of this molding at 75 cents a foot Without charging for anything else, your parlors would cost you $2,000 alone. You had better think it over and call again." In former days the cost .of decoiating a parlor was greater than anjr other room, and often amounted to as much as au me oiaer rooms together. isut a moiiern din:ng-room is finished in the rao-t expensive of hard woods, and su h de oratio:i as is used is of the n:o- co-tly kmd. The halls of a fine house are decorated with marvelous hand painted Lincrusta-Walton or some kind of bro:ized plaster work, which is eve; mo e expensive. Either dining-room or hall would cost as much as the par lor. The foremost interior decoration finus in this citv vie with each other in ob taining new and elegant efl'ects. They emuloy artists of all Kinds, at enormous salaries, to asdst th.mi in this. With several of those firms, where the cm pio.es have f-hown themselves indis pensable to the success of the business, they bae been given a partner hip in consequence. Such firms receive as high as .?50,000 for decorating a single hue. A fair price is 10,000, and they seldom go below .5,00' But whiie those firms receive small fortjrgfes for single jobs, the intelligent buyer of wall paper often g ts a ver pretty effect for a small price. The sale of wallpapers anil of interior deco rations has come to be two disMnct tranches of 1 usir.ess, and it is in the stores of wall-piper dealers an I ir.anu. facturers that th i bargains are general ly to be obtained. An odd lot of paper an.l a small t n ;ntity of -frieze are often sold for trilling sums. Occasionally the ame bargains may ba had in a line d c o ation store. As an instance of this, a salesman of on; of the best-known hou.-e- in the city showe 1 to a reporte twenty rolls of a paper he had soli that day. "This pap r," 1 e said, "cost us $2.50 per ro L We sold some of it to ex-Seo-retary of Mate Frel.nghuysen for his private office in Washington a little over a year ago. It cost him $ I a roll. A gentiemaa came in to day who want ed twenty rolls, and as we had just that amount of this on hand we sold him the remnant for S3. It is a French cm bossed bronze and a very line oihce paper." The Hoffmau House is one of the most fine'y decorated hotels in t: e country. In the reading-room there is an English paper on the walls whi h probably cost $2 per roil. A short time ago, while in a country town in Con necticut, a reporter noticed the same kind of paper pasted on the walls of a small store. "Hello:" he said to the proprietor, "where did you get this?' "Oh, I got stuck badly on it some time ago. I bought about forty rolls of it from some feller or other for eight cents a roll. I couldn't sell it, so I used part of it for this wall and some I put under my carpets. I've got ten rol s left, which 3 0U can have for fif y cents if ve m ant it." lligh art wall paper, as the English 's o'ten Jenue 1, was not appreciated .n that section of the country. The valua ble imported papers are o:ten found in country towns and sold at less than the'r cost in Europe. How they get there is a mystery. N. Y. Sun. The Safest Place on a Car. It is a popular superstition tiiat the center of the car is not only the sufest part, but is aLo much the easier riding. Ore of the greatest trials of a Pullman conductor's life is the fact that about every passenger asks for a lower cen ter berth the first thing, and is frequent ly indignant because it can not be had. If the center of a car r'des any easier than the end, then our cars, buiit as solid and strong as they are, spring 11 p anil down in the middle precisely as does a buokboard. If they do Dot, why snould it ride easier? As for safety, if you arc in the rear of the last car on the train, and another train runs into the rear, you are liable to get hurt. In all other accidents you can conjure up as liable to occur, it is the safest. If a Leal collision there 's nothing ba -k of you to add force to the blow. If the car leaves the track and collides with a bridge or any obstruction on a s'do track it will not be in your end. If tho train is thrown down an embankment, tl ere is nothing to land on top of you. Then this location is the most pleasant. From it you can watch all the nii.vc ments of your fellow-passengers, of en a good way of passing the hours of a long, tedious journey. If your eye hap pens to catch a rartieularly line view, yo 1 can, by turning in your seat or stepping to the door, take it all in. 11 there is a safest part of a train it is in the last seat in the last- car.

UNDER THE GALLOWS! pFrlshtfnl Condemnation of a Mother by Her Hon-W hat Doem It Mean? Not long ago a weeping mother called to bid good bye to her only son who was soon to be executed. "Woman," he exclaimed in a mo mentary frenzy, "Woman, I would "never have been here had you done "your duty by me when I was young !" This was a terrible parting! It hor rified the spectators, it nearly crazed the conscience stricken mother. One can scarcely overestimate the mother's influence in the moulding of the character of her offspring. But how often, oh, how often, do mothers seem to ignore the responsibility! During a recent trip on the rail the writer made the acquaintance of Dr. A. J. Benedict, of Sackett's Harbor, N. Y., a person who has made a study of human development. Referring to the murderous tendency of the times, we asked that eminent man if the out look was not discouraging? "It looks so," he said, "but I fancy we have a cause and the remedy for such evils. In my professional career I have found by hard study that we have emerged from savagery by devel opment oi the nervous system and the intellectual life, and we return to sav agery as we ignore the fact that with out the solid, trustworthy nervous system, we cannot hope to save the race. Boys stuff dime novels, and the pistol is to them the only respectably glorious instrument to secure fame. Women read trashy literature and straightway try- to murder their hus bands and friends by poison. Busi ness men yield to the tempter, and forge and steal and default. Minis ters, charmed by beauty, forget the behests of conscience. On every side we teethe weakness of personal integrity." "Do you regard it as a disease?" "More especially as the result of dis ease which, however.may be prevented." "Please define how." "I cannot now enter into details. Our people can see their bodies, their blood, their bones. They never see tlieir nerves and consequently many do not sup pose they have any. The farmer's wife rejoices in a big, physical frame, and yet she dies prematurely. The nerve cannot stand the strain of continual work. The minister falls dead in his pulpit, but he never did a day's phy ical work in his life. The lawyer faints in the presence of the court and is soon a wreck or a corpse, and yet the work is nerve work. The man of affairs is overcome with apoplexy ; the politician and publicist, with Bright's disease. The mind of the untutored man is fired by the exploits of crime and he longs for such fame. These persons overwork or over-excite the nervous system and this fact kills or demoralizes them." "If all this be so how would vou rec tify it then?" "Let mo tell you. A few years ago I had a lady patient who -was an utter wreck. She was a mother of several children. She lost her mind and im agined she was cursed of God. She was a farmer's wife, and worked early and late. I never saw a finer speci men of physical womanhood than she, but she was a nervous wreck ! She be came bloodless, had the very worst of female disorders and was in the last stages of albuminuria or Bright's dis ease. This latter disease works partic ular havoc with the nervous system and produces insanity and despair. She was insane and desperate and I fear tainted the blood of her offspring with these terrible tendencies. I treated har for several years. One by one the standard remedies of the schools failed, but I finally cured her with Warner's safe cure, and she is to-day strong and well. Yet thousands of women like her, every year bring ill-formed and criminally-inclined children into the world. Is it any wonder that nervous diseases prevail and that the whole moral sense is demoralized? If that remedy were generally used, we would have stronger mothers, stronger chil dren, stronger men and women, and with perfect physical and mental health, crime would dtcrease and soci ety be more secure." Such candid opinions are surely worth considering. Belftium has withdrawn from the Mon etary Union. WHAT IS CATARRH 1 Catarrh is a muco purulent discharge caused by the presence and development of the vegetable parasite amieha in the internal lining membrane of the nose. This parasite is only developed under favorable circum stances, and these are: Morbid state of the blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tuliercle, the germ poison of syphi lis, merenry, toxn-inea, from the retention of the effete matter of the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly ven tilated sleeping apartments, and other poisons that are germinated in the blood. These poisons keep the interna lining membrane of the nose in a eonstant state of irri tation, ever ready for the deposit of the seeds ef these ?enns, which spread up the nostrils and down the auces or hack of throat, causing ulceration of the throat; up the eustachian tubes, causing deafness; bur rowing in the vocal cords, causing hoarseness; usurping the proper structure of the bronchial tubes, ending in pulmonary consumption and death. Many attempts have been made to discover a cure for this distressing disease by the use of inhale ts and other ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a particle of good until the parasites are either destroyed or removed from the mucous tissue Home time since a well known physician of forty years standing, after much exiierimeuting, succeeded in dis covering the necessany combination oi ingredients which never fails in absolutely and permanently eradicating this horrible disease, whether standing for one year or forty years. Those who may be suffering from the above disease should, without delay, communicate with the managvrs, Messrs. A. II.
