A NAVAL HERQ, THE INTERESTING STORY OF AN EX-POWDER MONKEY, A Tale of Many Miles of Ocean Travel in the Bervice of the U. 8, Navy. TheHearing of AnKar Restored After Twenty Years. There lives fn Omaha to-day a man who twenty years ago was what is termed on board & man-of-war, o powder monkey. The duties of u powder monkes, as we understand it, i8 to pupply amnunition’ from the magazne and turrets to the gunners while in action. 'Thé mun referred to went into the United States navy when but a boy being aged at that time y 13 years, and in his service on the several #hips he traveled over thousands ot miles of oceai and hus been in nearly every port in the world and his experimence wonld illl a good sized volume and make very utcresting read- ng, %o gentteman reterred to ts MR. ED. MATTHEWE, HATTER, whose place of business is in room 1%, Herald building. To the writer Mr. Mutihews was re- Iating some of his experfence, and being ac- quainted for some time with Mr. Matthews he asked him to tell him now it was that e of his left ear. 1 know that 1 have regained in? 1see you did not know it, 1 tell you, but 1 must first tell you liow. 08t it. The two lit their cigars and sat down for a good chat, and Mr. Matthews continued his “You see, while I was in the navy as der monkey my dutles often required that Idown at the turret and while down there every discharge of the gun mukes an awful concussion and to us poor monkeys in those turrets it was strong enough_to knock us down sometimes. I noticed that my ears were be- coming affécted by the discharge of the gun- nery and I went to the surgeon ou board, W told me that he could do nothing for nme except that [ had better use cotton in my ears. 1dld 80 and to that, I think, I owe the hiearing of my right ear. After my retirement from the navy my left ear continued to grow worse und I lost the hearing of it entirely, In my business [ travel considerably and have had an oppor- tunity to consult some of the finest aurisis in the country and 1 did consult them too, and I presume that 1 have had two dozen of them workilg on my ears, butthey told me one and all that the drum_was entirely destroyed and 1 Wwould never be ableto hear again, 1 got accus- “smed to hearing with only the one ear, and hud about made up my mind that 1 mever would hear agan with my left ear. Ibecame acquainted with & young man who I8 connected with Dr. McCoy in the Ramge Block, and he became tired, he said, of having to repeat his conversation tome and told me to come up and have the doctor examine my ear and see what he could do for it. 1 only laughed at him and did not go, but few weeks ago the ear commenced discharging again and 1'went to Dr. McCoy's office to have it attended y ear and said that the drum y_desiroyed, and that he did not know as he could do anything for it, but that he would do what he could for it; he healed the car up, and_then made an Gpparatus to put into the enr which he placed there and I could hear at once, I heard a watch tick held one foot from the left ear, something I had not done for twenty years. | thought perbaps it was with the right ear 1 heard it, und closed that ear up; and | was very agreeably surprised to hear it very plainly with the left ear. OFf course it will take some fittle time until 11 to wearing the apparatus in 8oon overcome that. It is ver: A a8 you cun tell cannot be seen atall. You would not know there was anything in my ear unless | would pull it out, but if I puil It out I cannot hear, s0 1Kept it in, and 1 hear now as well as 1 everdid. Iam very glad I took my friend’s ud- vice and went to sée_the doctor for he has dene for me what many another has tried t do and falled. 1 wm more than satlstled with the way ho treated me and feel satistied that any per- o that places him or herseif under his treat ment will never have cause to The writer thanked Mr. Matthe ness and asked him whother he would object to having his conversation published in the form of a_testimonial. “Not at all,” continued that gentleman, “you can publish {t and welcome, and just add for me that if there is anyone who doubts the truth of it they may call on me at Foom 18 Herald build- ing, and I'can convince them that it is true every word of it. V'hy I could not Lear a werd amin sald i 1 was not on the left side of him aud then enly heard it ladistincily, but now 1 can hear it all right no matter whit side I am on." Mr. Mathews as above stated is engaged in business as a hatter in the Herald building at the corne: of 1sth and Harney streets, und is willing to coroborate the above to anyone.

IN THE . FEMININE DOMAIN. Facts and Fancies For Sex. HINTS ON HOME DECORATIONS. the Fair The Charms of a Beautiful Mouth— How Mouths are Spoiled—The Days of the Bustle are Num- bered. A Beautiful Mouth. Graphic: A woman with every other natural charm is not beautiful withouta mouth that adds a new suggestiveness to her lo to be even vretty if, when she speaks, her breath is hot and feverish, or, worse still, is absolutely tainted. Naturally she does not know this, and it is onli; proper that somebody belong- to her should tell her. If it comes from her teeth it is something quickly rem- edie If it comes from her digestion then it is her doctor's business to et her in good order: but often n this country of invalid women it comes from the use of strong medi- cines. Physicians advise for this the use of lemons, claiming that they are the most purifying of ull fruits, and the aromatic odor produced by lemons rubbed on the teeth, gums and lips lasts longer than any other. For a feverish breath that results from the stomach a few drops of lime water used as a gar- gle, or, better still, a half teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda in a little water,will have the desired effect. Half the badly shaped mouths that are the sorrows of the young women of to-day result from their being per- mitted when they were children to suck their fingers. One of the prettiest wo- men in town has conrse, thick lips that came from being allowed, when she was going to sleep, to put herthumbin her mouth. While another, whose lips protrude in the center, and whose mouth is large,blames her mother for allowing her to find consolation in her two forefingers. If persuasion wiil not break a child of this habit, then stronger means should be resorted to, and if necessary its hands should be tied together. = Another uunfortunate habit among school girls, and one which results in thickening the lips and making them supersensitive, is the continual biting of the lower lip. The eatire shape of the face is spoiled in this way, for when nature molded it there was not the intention that the lower lip should be larger and a coarse look given to the faee. Red lips are the announcement of good health, and good heaith is the fashion. Women who have very deter- mined wills frequently get into the bad habit of drawing their lips together in a way they think expresses determination. The lips are pliable and naturally as- sume the position which is oftenest given to them, so she who feels on pleasant terms with the world at large, who malkes it a point only to suy pleas- ant things. will have about her mouth that something that «the French call ante—the look that tells of a laugh without the sound, and a smile that is not a smirk. With all his gallantry it took a Frenchman to say th 410 be beautiful a woinan must not talk much or she will contract her mouth in an unbecoming manner. Home Decorations. : Despite the universally ot that a man’s house is his castle, and that it is the one spot on earth where he can exercise individual taste, it is yet governed by Mashion’s rules, that he obeys almost” without re- alizing. Fashion is a wily dictator. Its laws are stringent, yet so subtle that its subjects follow them half consciously: cheered continually by the false hope that they are themselves the origina- tors of the many pretty fancies and com- fortable improvements they introduce into their homes. But we must assert that fashion is despotic; it rules our homes from cellar to garret, from floor to ceiling. The custom of carpeting floors, that is, nailing down carpets over the entire expanse, is comparatively a new one. Time was when in all handsomely fur- nished houses the lloors were polished and inlaid with colored woods, while rich rugs ot eastern manufacture, were spread about. The many advantages of this fashion are again making them- selves felt. First, and foremost, there is the advantage of cleanliness. It is a recognized fact that health demands movable floor coverings; coverings that can be taken up every day or two, and thoroughly shaken. Another argu- ment in favor of rugs appeals stronly to slender purses. A cheap rug wears a great deal better than a cheap carpet, and somehow they are far more artistic in design. The former advan- tage is doubtles ained because the ru is simply laid not stretched into position: and the fibres therefore, are not strained in the least. But, let it be added, a rug to ap- pear well must be held flcendlustl{ in position; be there one or several in a room a sufficiently weighty piece of fur- niture should be placed on it, or them, to hold position. A kicked-up rug gives an untidy air to a whole room. Asa matter of artistic decoration, a room is badly furnished, if the tloor covering is the most conspicuous object upon enter- ing, and it is with a degree of thankful- ness that we realize tbat we are seldom nowadays called upon to trample over huge, gorgeous-colored “‘parterres,” or green branches of trees, alive with gay- plumaged birds: India rugs, as they are among the most costly, are ulso among the most desirable. Like the India shawls they com- bine every color of the rainbow, but so artistically are the colors blended that they melt one into the other almost imperceptibly, and the whole effect is subdued us well as rich, Smyrna rugs are gayer in coloring; they are known to the trade as “‘On- shak,” and are easy of imitation, so that many cheap specimens are in the market. It takes a connoisseur, how- ever, to decide between a genuine Turkish rug, and one that hmls from Persia, There is an increasing demand for Daghestan rugs and those that look the oldest and dingiest are the most ad- mired, as they are thought to have seen the most service on the came!’s back in his journeyings through the desert. Correspondingly oriental appearing must be the curtains, and at this sea- son, when the *‘real” things are folded away cautiously in linen coverings, the curtains *‘that are” are formed of Ma- dras. Now Madras is a cheap fabric, but its designs, though not claiming or- iihmln ,are very good, and its colors cheerful and tasteful. Russian grena- dine, with insertions and edgings of Cluny lace are also pretty for,the same rpose, while Saxony lace at a short istance, has all the appearance of fine avplique. bout any room, be it drawing room or bed chamber, no article is more use- ful than a waste basket, but these are no longer the commonplacefarticles they once were—though some of them spring from very humble origin.

Another pretty, homely idea is to take a Japanese umbrella, open it half way, securing the open distance by a emall block of wood, and set in a small socket or tripod, which any carpenter can make, and stain it to imitate ebon, streaked with gold; one on each side of the desk or table will be found most useful, and think what a comfort to have at last found a practical place for the now almost omnipresent Japanese parasol. Teus, receptions, large dinners and the like are all over until the re-open- ing of the season proper, but luncheons and small dinuers are always in and this time of year y are especially dainty, as so many floral nttractions are added to the table decorations. The aim is to give as rustic an appearance as possible, and one of the very prettiest of all the con- ceits is to arrange the various kinds of hair-grass, which incluae the shades of purple, green, gold and grey, on an or- dinary tea-tray, with small, bright-col- ored flowers sprinkled about and a mass of upright ferns in the centre. Varie- gated ribbon-grass, loosely knotted, forms beautiful mats for decoration of luncheon tables. One of the most unique luncheon clotks of the season has the design of a cluster of maiden- hair woven into the centre, while the border is ornamented with a flower for every month in the year; thus January is simulated by a Christmas rose, Feb- ¢ eyclamus, March by anemone, us, May b{' violets, June by s, July by pea-blossoms, August by iris, September by marsh grasses, October by dahlias, November by chrysanthemums, and December by holly. The Bustle is Going Out. New York World: Have you noticed the peculiar kind of a one-two-three step of ludies before they sit down, fol- lowed by a backward motion, a curious jerking of the skirtsand then a grace- *ul sinking down into the seat? If you have, you have also noticed how the ladies frequently rise suddenly from their seats, shake themselves with an odd kind of a little movement and then sit down. Both of these movements are due to the bustle. Aund now the news comes from Wash- ington that Mrs. Cleveland has con- cluded to discard the bustle. Of course it 18 of vital interest to every woman in the land. Everything connected with this important question has been discussed by the New York ladies. Fat and lean, old and young, rich and poor, they all wear bustles, and they are all anxious to know whether they will coutinue to wear them. It was with the desire of learning all there was on this subject thata re- porter visited the leading fashionable dressmakers yesterday to fina out what was the tendency and drift in bustles. “Mrs. Cleveland’s depurture,” said Redfern, ‘*has attracted profound in- tere New York, and may affect bustles in the fall. You know bustles are gradually growing smaller and smaller. Thisis the tendency abroad, and we get all our fashions from there. We use a cushion instead of the store bustle and it can be made of the same material as the gown. It is made of silk, usually, and is stuffed with horse-hair and then quilted. It1s sewed in under the foundation of the skirt. Two steels are sewed in this foundation also. Over these are draped the dress. The first is sewed in nine inches below the waist, the second seven inches. They have strings attached to the bustle being enlarged or decreased. Now, to show you now the bustle is de- creasing in size, these steels a year ago were twenty-three and twenty-seven inches long respectively. Now they are only seventeen and twenty-one, and they are constantly growing smaller, *Is there any difference between bustles for fat ladies and lean ones!” “Very much. A very fat lady will have only a slight hint of a bustle. You see she does not need much to accom- modate her form, while a very lean, thin lady needs all she can get.” “Mrs, Cleveland is probably assisting to kill what would be at an end in a few more years, if signs mean anything. Bustles have had a long run. They came in about seven years ago, and suc: ceeded the princess robes. You remem- ber them, I suppose? They were skin- tight. I have seen them so tight a lady couldn’t step more than twelve inches. Bustles were first merely frilled horse- hair. Then they grew larger until two years ago, when they reached their maximum, *“To sit down with a bustle is an art. You have noticed ladies sitting down at the theater, I suppose? Now I shall show you how a lady ought to sit down, with a medium-sized bustle, so as not to attract attention.” A young lady was called in from an adjoining room, she was asked tosit down, and she sunk into a chair without the slightest effort. ““How do you manage it so easily?” asked the reporter. lost in admiration of the simplicity of the motion so unus- ual. “It is very simple,” answered the young lady. quietly pushing her dress around with her hand to properly locate the bustle. *Yousee, I simply let the steels touch the side of the chair as I sink into it, then I give a sharp push to one side; the bustle goes over to the otherand [ amall right. Ladies don’t sit flat down, because if they did they would be on a high cushion. Some- times the steels get fastened in the dress and the bustle gets uncomfortable. Th(;n the lady has to get up and adjust it.” There was considerable trouble in getting any divect expression of opin- ion from the leading lady dressmakers. The subject was one of too much im- portance for them to commit themselves until they had returned from Paris in the fall. They had heara of Mrs, Cleveland’s change. In fact, they had discussed it with some of their custom- ers. Bustles were growing smaller, there was no doubt of that, very much smaller; but then the bustle had been in a long time. It had its friends und there was no telling. One thing was certain, in house dresses the bustle had gone out.

Colored net dresses increase in popularity, Lengthwise tucks are used on the upper part of apron draperies. Folds of canvas or bolting cloth are still ‘worn in the necks of dresses. Colored out-of-door jackets and wraps are undoubtedly superseding black ones. Dark colored India silks and pongees are iked for hot weather traveling gowns.

For dressy white wool costumes Bedford repped wool is used with the cord running from selvedge to selvedge. Large white embroidered mu such as as were worn thirty ye shown on imported dresses. Blouse waists with a yoke and short sleeves, which leave the arms free for swim- ming, are best liked for bathing suits. Among serviceable patticoats nothing is better than those of biscuit calico, widh three flounces embroidered in self-color. A great many women puy umbrellas for their handles, and the more unique and con- spicuous they are the better they like them. Tailor-made parasols to match gown and bonnet are among the last suggestions of the enemy—of which good dresscrs will beware. Nainsoak drossing jackets are short and jaunt, They are profusely trimmed with Valencieunes lace, or adorned with fine em- broidery. There is a rage at present for fancy jew- elry in fine gold and solid silver, both plain and oxidized. The dainty patterns are wholly novel. It was a Cincinnati girl, we believe, who toid her dressmaker tq put on her new silk one of those telescoped trains about which she had read so muc{ Black lace dresses are fashionable made over a_ white silk foundation, and black moire dresses are admired draped with cream white Flemish lace. A young lady named Take scems to open & great many letters belonging to other people. Sheis perfectly honest about it, however, and writes on the envelopes, “Opened by Miss Take.” Mrs. Livermore was thrown from her car- riage and had her mouth enlarged two inches by a cut. She hopes to save the in- crease, but the doctors want to sew her whole mouth’ up. Gowns of white pongee have the blouse and full sleeves deeply honevcombed, and o honeycombed panel at the side as well, or else they are trimmed with many lengthwise rows of lace msertion. A wife will hardly ever notice whether her husband has had his hair cut or not; but him go home with a strange hairpin ing in his overcoat and she'll see it be- fore he gets out of the train. Big hemstitched handkerchiefs of pongee can be had in nearly all the summer colors, and are among the most useful of small wraps, as they can be either shawl, collar or fichu as the wearer has a mind. Heavy dressed kid gloves, in sac shape, loose on the wrists, without buttons,are used for traveling and dressy wear in the country. They are corded with white down the back in what are called French points. Sailor collars of moire or velvet, and gath- ered scarves of china crape sewed in the shoulder and crossing at the front are among the trimmings used by good modistes upon waists of silk, foulard or grenadines. Leather or leather-colored sitk is now much used for the trimming of walking toilets, which are finished with hats topped with leather-colored plumes, and a bow of leather ribbon tied jauntily on the parasol.

Yes, and it would take a pretty good spygiass to differentiate these sometimes from those who rate them- selves as swells of the first water, and from the women who make themselves almost in- humanly rude in their efforts to keep out of the newspapers. Great distinctions are arrived at sometimes where there are no differences. Flesh in excess is a detriment to the health, and to cast it off with as little loss of strength or beauty as Fanuie Davenport or Lillian Russell scem to have sustained is a consummation for which many women de voutly pray.

Boston Transeript: One boy wasasked to define a common and a proper noun. He wrote: “‘William is a proper noun and Billy is a common noun.” OAnother was told to write what he had learned in physiology. He did, thus: “The body is composed of three parts —the head, the trunk and the abdomen. The head contains the brains, if you have any. The trunk contains the heart and lungs. The abdomen contains the vowels, a, e, i, 0, u and sometimes w and K.” OWhat in the world that last bright boy was thinking of his teacher may have heen able to puzzle out, but proba- bly no onc else can, The answer, how- ever, was actual, Wy e An Absolute Cure.
