Good Effects Obtained at But Very Small Coat. r A very effectively and exceedingly dressy curtain can be made from Swiss muiilin, either dotted or plain, by edg ing it with a ruffle ten inches wide and iemnied at both sides. This should be yut on with a puff and narrow heading'. lying on the curtain, and a ribbon of the prevailing1 color of the room run under the puff. On this puff at intervals of six inches from center of flower to center of the floor a large daisy, without foliage or stem, newed on accurately, or a wide-open wild rose, gives a most fascinating result. Say that the room is pink and white, a white satin rib bou under the puff and wild roses for color; or if blue and white, blue rib lion and daisies. The curtains should be looped with ribbon of the shade used under the muslin, and a large graceful bow in fhe center, where the curtain meet, is an improvement, i Tho use of artificial flowers as rule is so strongly to be condemned that I fear natural good taste will make many disinclined to try this sim pie and very effective decoration. can only say that I share their preju- dice, but confidently recommend this exception to a good rule. They should be so used as to almost make you think they were embroidered on to the mu lin, and no attempt be mode to add graceful buds and leaves just the stiff, regularly fastened flower of ex actly the same size and shape. Smbll conventional bunches of flat scarlet geranium blossoms with scarlet rib bons, or of bluets, with white ribbons, have been successful also, but the daisies and single roses are most easily managed. ! For very much shadowed low-ceiled, rooms point d'esprit or other small figured laces can be used to good effect, particularly if there is an old-fashioned mirror between the parlor windows; one undivided very wide curtain, at tached to an old-time cornice at either window and drawn bnok with a high loop right and left, and a drapery extending across tlie mirror in well-proportioned curves, the deepest in the cen ter, falling on the mirror, and with a slender sort of jabot effect at the outer cdg of the sash frames, tapering to a point a little more than,' half way down to the floor. The loco of the curtain should have a very clear sheer edgo nt least four inches wide, of the Mech lin type, and the good result i increased if the mirror is covered by the point d'esprit, an mosquito netting is some times stretched over paintings.

The Croat Northern Railway com pany lately announced a rate of (10 cent per 100 pounds ou, soup slush from Northern l'ocifle coust points to Chi cago and Mississippi and Missouri river points, says the. Seattle Times. Borne one has requested a rate on this com modity, but there does not appear to be muiiy people who know what soap slush is. One ingenious gentleman said that it was the product of certain small lakes on the line of the road that are filled with a thick silica water, which, when one's hands nre washed in it, gives a lather that would bring joy to the heart of any washerwoman orton soriul artist. When the hair is washed in this wonderful native product the head swells with lather till it takes the proportions of a snow mountain. Sunburn on the face vanishes as mist before the sunshine in June. "There is a lake of this wonderful liquid," said this veracious informant, "over on the East side. It is a mile long and proportionally broad. I)o you know that we sre really ye In Ignor ance of w hat we hove in this tiuutry ?" Local soap people, w hen nkod to de fine and tell about Hixtp sins) , were non plused. They have i t up. Another party said that not long ago he received a curious product from Walla Walla, a kind of sand mixed with soap sub stances, from which it wo thought soap could be probably mar s here to upply the washerwomen ot (he goat commons In the New York suburbs. A liRt effort to determine the char acter of soap slush elicited the Informa tion that the commodity originated at l'wtlund, probably at the horse meat HIS BODY FOR SALE Means by Which a San Francisco Maa Hopea to Prolong; Hla Life. There is a man in San Francisco will ing to barter his body to pay his debts a man so honest that the duns of his landlord drive him to desperation. Re cently he tried to sell his body to the board of health that he might be able to live decently and honestly until the time for delivery. The man's name is Wilhelm Opper mann, and he is 01 years old. lie has lived in San Francisco 13 years, and in America 31. He first saw the light in Hanover, and something of the father land speech still lingers on his tongue, The body he wishes to sell is hand some and healthy, and many a million' aire, who has not lived as well, would be glad to pay ten times the price, could the transfer take place immediately. Oppermann has never been ill, but he is willing to sell the body that has served him so well on condition that his soul be allowed to retain his mortal part as long as it likes. Afterward the purchaser of the body can do what he likes with it. By profession Oppermann is a com poser and teacher of music, his instru ment being the zither. Years ago he made a fair living in San Francisco mu sic teaching, but his stringed instru- ment is no longer the fad. Pupils have fallen off, and if the few remaining ones are ill or have no engagement there ia no pay for the teacher. And so things have gone on from bad to worse with the old master and his old wife. They have moved from place to place always to a less desirable one, Now they are not able to pay the rent of the little house at 29 Julian avenue. In January Oppermann sold his beau tif ul concert zither, which lie loved na he loved his soul, and better than his body. It went for a third of its value, and the money was gulped down by the rent-ogre. Though it is only May, the wolf is again at the door. In his extremity Oppermann thought out his novel scheme. He decided to oiter nis Doay lor sale, tio he ap proached the board of health and asked the in to buy. Taken back by his propo Mtion, one of the members told him to put his petition in due form and present it on Wednesday. The old man is hop ing that the proposition will be ac cepted. If not, he is going to the medical col- leges to ask them to buy a fine, stalwart old body, to be delivered to them when toe owner is through with it. In this way the mind that owns the clay hopes to get another start in this slippery world of ours. San Francisco Chron icle. CONTINUED TO EXIST. Tha Time for the End of the World Had Not Come. At the time of the Millerite delusion In 1843, when many people believed that the end of the world would come on a oortain day in April, and many others who did not really believe were yet moved to superstitious uneusiness by the fervor of the Millcrites, there were a number of eager watchers for the ap pointed day in an old New England town. It was a late spring, and there was a light fall of snow on the ground. On the aight before the dreadful date, there flamed in the sky a magnificent crimson aurora, and the red light in the heavens with its red reflection on the snow terri fied many nervous people to the verge of distraction; they thought it signified the beginning of universal destruction. One woman, who lived alone, with the back of her house close to u cemet ery, waked near midnight and was overcome with horror. Without stopping to dress Mie rnn out of the house and along close beside the burying-ground boundary toward the dwelling of her next neigh bor. Iler bare feet slipped in the snow, and once she fell, but rose immediately and ran on. Her neighbors also were awake; the wife lying quaking in bed, the husband at the window. He looked out just as the frantic figure in white sprang up irom tier fall in the drifted snow- emergtng, as It appeared, from the graveyard, and bathed in blood-red light. Turning his head, he shouted back hastily Into the dark chamber: "It's true, wife, the end of the world has cornel The dead are rising from their graves I've just seen the first one!" The supposed corpse, however, pres ently took refuge in his house, and when morning dawned and the world till existed, the trio were no doubt re assured. Youth's Companion. "UN r PAY DUTY CALLS. """'I or Knjcllah nonrs 1st India Against a Form of Social Uondnsre The English women living in India put a sensible scheme luto execution recently. They revolted against the ociul bonduge of "duty calls" and organized an anti-calling union. Sev eral hundred women joined and pledged themselves to abide by the roles, which are very simple. Instead of paying calls in person cards ore sent and calls ore returned by post. A personal call is allowable only w hen a special compliment is in tended. At home duyg are held by the members of the union when conven ient, notices of these being printed in the papers several days beforehand. The fact that men ore excluded from these privileges has caused no end of amusement among the women and no less talk among the lords of creation, particularly the crusty bachelors of society, who declare that calling did keep some women quiet; they go so far as to make wagers on whnh mischief their women friends will he up to now that there is no necessity for ihcm to pay duly calls. There is no union of this kind in this city, but the women members of the llnrnard club long ago gave up calling for the mere name of thethiug. They agreed that their club should h a kind of a social clearing house, and the pinn nus worked admirably. An in formal reception is held In the beauti ful club rooms every Saturday after noon, and a little chat with one's friends there relieves everybody of all calling obligations. This even extends to party calls among most of the mem bers. One of the most nrominont women in the club says that the plau I .u.j mies me club members a great deal of valuable time, which can be put to more profitable use, but strengthens the moral character as well, since nothing weakens It so much as obligatory duty calling. The mem bership of this club, which include men, too, has run away up iuto the hun- dveds and the waiting list is very long Jf.Y.Sun. . THE OPNMIST. 81 wuz the durndest optimist that ever I did ee!
