MODERN WALL DECORATIONS.
They Sometimes Cost More than the
Homes High Art at a Discount.
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. Klmira

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.

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

I am now 43 years old, and bare Buffered for the last
fifteen years with a lung trouble. I have spent thous
ands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; but
temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit
for any manual labor for several years. A friend
strongly recommended the ub of Swift's Specific
(8. 8. S.), claiming that he himself had been greatly
benefitted y its use iu some lung troubles. I resolved
to try it. The results are remarkable. My cough has
left me, my strength has returned, and I weigh sixty
rounds more than I ever did In my life. It has been
three years since I stopped the u-e of the medicine, but
i nave nau no return oi me msease, ana mere are no
oains or weakness felt in my lungs. I do the hardest
kind of mechanical work, and feel as well as I ever felt
since I was a boy. These. I know, are wonderful state
ments to make, hut I am honest when I say that I owe
my existence and health to-day to 8. 8. 8. I woiild be
recreant to the duty I owe to humanity if I failed to
hear this rneerrul testimony to the merits or this won

important factor in successful medical practice. It is,
