The finest safe and money chest ever seen In the city has just been placed in the vault of the IKimball-Champ Inyestment company. It is absolutely burglar proof, and is so much of au improvement over the ordinary safe that it is a novelty, and therefore an object of unusual interest. It 1s aevery handsome affair and weighs 5600 pounds. It is 53 inches high, 20 inches wide and has two compartments, ‘T'he upper compartment is guarded by a heavy five figure combination lcck and is stronger than the ordinary safe. The great feature of this safe, however, is the door of the lower compartment, or money chest, which is circular in shape and screws into the sufe us a bolt goes into a burr, and is then fastened by a double time lock, controlled by a Howard movement of the finest mechanisw, Both sate and doors are constructed of eight thicknesses of one- half inch steel 1n aiternate layers of Brook- lyn chrome and Bessemer steel. Thelock 18 a double one of the Mosler automatic pat- tern. The locking device connected with this time lock isa heavy lug or key auto- wmatically thrown into the jamb or released by the time lock and effectually guarded ngainst any surtace explos- ion by means of a dormant lock. The door is furnished with a geared pres- sure devico for openiug and closing, and the simple turning of a crank screws the door into place. The clock work is all on the in~ side of the door, and 18 in no way connected ‘with the outside of the«oor, from which it is separated by eeveral thicknesses of solid stecl. In fact, there is uo way of opening the safe if the clock runs down while the door 1s closed, in which case it would require experts several days to open it. An outside combination furnishes the day lock. If the outer layers were blown entirely away, there would be nothing left on which to op erale. ‘Che safe 1s 80 much of a novelty and works 80 nicely that it excited the admiration of several of the business men of the city who were vesterday invited to examine it, The olock, which is double, works either indi- viduslly or in combination, so that if one ets out of order, the other will do the work, t needs winding but once ten days. The lock in all respects is simply wonderful, and w'l that it needs to make it proof against burglars for time and eternity is to attach a nttle perpetual motion to keep the clock wound. It is well worthy of careful inspection. 2 “Gola Roda." In this age of book making & new publica- tion must needs have special merit to com- mand attention.

T, Kane, ono of the men employed on the new hotel foundation, met with an ace dent yesterday morning that came near cos ing him his life, It happened that in some way the derrick ropes became fouled, and Kuane was sent up to fix them. Justas he reached the top the breaking of a ring plate loosencd the guys and he derrick fell. For- tunately Kane was thrown some little dis- tance, or he would bave landed on a pile of stone. As it was, ho fell on soft ground, and was very little injured. "Ho was re- moved to the’ Creston hLouse, where he re- ceived medical treatment. No bones were broken, and his bruises wore not serious. He ate s dinner as usual and was able to et uround in the afternoon, although rather sore. The fall was a terrible ome, and it Was by the merest chance that IKane fell anywhere but on the piles of stone, He is twenty:three years of ago and unmarried. .

The following is the report of the board of trade committee appointed to wvestigate the proposed union creamery for this city and Omaha: Thne undersigned committee to whom was referred the project for the formation of a Dr. H. oridge work, S, Wost, 0.1 crown and stock company to build and operate a centri- fogal separator creamery of the most im proved pattern would respectfully report that we have given the matter careful con- sideration and bhave visited the separator creameries now in successful operation at Onawa and California junction to get an idea of the practical workings of tho system. There is no question but that this method of soparating tho cream from tho milk by cen- trifugal force is much superior to the old way of setting the milk te raise the cream, because it not only produces much more but- ter from the samo milk, but the butter' ob tained is of & much better quality and Havor and commands a price in the New York mar- ket fully equal to tho celebrated Elgin brand, ‘This point prosents certaln advan- tages for the profitable operation of such a factory not found in the interior of the state where they appear to pay. ‘The vast number of cows in the country adjacent to us, which, as their product is now handled, not pay: the centering of the varions railrond lines here by which milk can be shipped in from every direction, the large population of the two citiea which insures o good homo market not only for a large part of the butter inanufactured, but also for the skim milk and the butter milk, which iu country creameries 18 practically wasted are some of the more important of these peculiar advantages. We have arrived at the following conclu- sions 8 1. Thata first-class contrifugal separator creamery, 80 located as to supp'y both Coun- oil Bluffs and Omaha, properly condudted will be a safe and paying investment to the stockholders 2. That such a factory that would supply our citizens at ali seanons of the year with a uniform quality of “gilt-edged” fresh butter would be a boon to our people. 3. *That & good butter factory would be a great benefit to our farming community, by making their milch cows pay, and thereby leading them into improving their stock. 4. That the piant proposed to be put in by Davis & Rankin 13 first-class in overy particulur, and the price charged therefor is fair and reasonuble. 5. As an earnest of the sincerity of our convictions, we have each of us sub- scribed for stock 1n the factory and we earn- estly recommend the citizens and business men of Council Bluffs and Omaha to join with us as promptly as possible to the end that the proposed factory may be put in op- eration at the earliest practicable day. G B. Warre Gronar H. Cawr, THOMAS OFFICER, Committee, —— A Letter From China. The following is part of a letter received by J. Mueller of the Mueller Music Co., from his daughter, Mrs. Dr. Simons, and refers to a beautifal Hardman upright piano shipped to her. Dr. Simons is consul gen- cral for the United States of America at Hong Kong, China, appointed to that posi~ tion by President Harrison: Ho KoNa, Feb. 12, 1800.—My Dear Papa: My piano came on the last steamer, and is a splendid instrument. I had a music man come up and unbox it and bring it into the house. He w.s very much pleased with it and found it quité up to the con- cert pitch and in perfect tune, so that it came in _excellent condition all the way from New York. although it was not done up in waterproof. The freight was just $100. The case is solid ma- hogany and beavtifully finished, so we feel we were wise Lo send as we did. Oune sees only English and German pianos out here, and mine looks like a house compared to the little uprights in use. And they do not wear well. Av the end of four years they are tin~ panny and sound dreadfully. “I think ours will stund the climate as well as any of the grands that have been sent out, and then when we leave we shall be able to 861l it for a good price, Hong Kong in the winter is the gayest of gay places.” - INDIANS AND WHISKEY. The {Noble Red Man Invests a Bad Habit with Gond Points. They will drink whiskey—and what Indian will not?—but even in this they observe a method and a degree of decency that white topers would do well to 1mitate, says Kirk Monroe in_ the Marceh Seribner. When a band or family decide to get drunk they send to the nearest market for one or more gal- lons of liquor. 1In spite of the law for- bidding the sale of intoxicants to In- dians they nave nodifficulty in finding white agents willing to procure the stuff for them. It is indeed stuff, and that of the vilest character, though for it the Indiuns are made to pay nt least double the price of the best quaality; but what froutier trader regards it ns anything but mweritorious to cheat a redskin? With the liquor in their possession the Indians retire to some remote spot where their orgies will not be witnessed by any save themselves, and deliber- ately “prepure for their spree. ' They first set aside a share of the *‘fire water” for the squaws, who will not touch a drop of it uatil their lords have finished their debauch. All guns, knives, and other weapons ave then placed in charge of the squaws, or, if there are no women in the party, they ave delivered to one of the men, for whom a certain amount of hquor is reserved. While the rest are drunk this guardian of the peuce must remain sober and keenly watchful of the actions of his compan- ions. Should he, prove unfuithful tohis trust he will be exiled from the tribe, and no Indian will hold communication with him for the term of months or yearsduring which his exile is enforced. While the cebauch of his companion lasts he is absolute master of the situn- tion, and is at liberty to use any amount - of force, even to the taking of life, to vepel an attempt to regain possession of the weapons. If these ave left with squaws the same rule holds good for them. The preparations being thus com- pleted, the Tndians, using one small tin cup, which is impartially handed from one to another, proceed toget solemnly, funnily, fuviously, and stupidly drunk. The next day it is the turn of the squaws or of the man who has stood guard, and thoy, too, taste the joys and sorrows of comple intoxication.

In the mean time her sister Gertrude is greeping into fame. She rather walking in, as her dainty feet literally brought her to the threshold of litera- ture. The story is as follows and was told by herself: I had long wanted a pair of riding boots, but they seemed a - unsuccessful luxuey, and so I had almost despaired of ever having my wish gratiied, However, I got them, and one morning as I was mounting for a.good long canter through the woods a friand of mine standing near me no- ticed them and severely reproved me for my extravagance. 1 could keep my secrat no longer, us to how those boots became mine, so I told her as I do you, how I, despairing one evening, still longing for the dear boots, sat down to my desk and scratched off some poetical liges and sent them to a well-known magazive, I received shortly & check, the size of whicn.covered the expense of my long-coveted boots and several additional wants.” I heard that this explanation of her extravagance was accepted, and no one grudges her the pleasure, for it is said that a prettier foot never graced a suirrup, DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, 0N TOP OF $HE COURT HOUSE A Goddess Whe Looks Over Every- thing and ©verlooks Nothing. A CHATTY FEMALE IN HIGH LIFE Searching for ‘H(m t Men—The Wick- ed Punsters— Whats In a Name?-An Old Sottler Crazed. A Chat With a Goddess. S0 you think the Goddess of Justice 18 simply an ornament for the top of the court house, eh! But I'm useful as woll as orna- mental. I'm not the deaf and dumb thing that you fancy. I hear and see a great many things that your all-around-town man has no iden of. You think tho Goadess of Jus- tice is blind! Hardly, Wiy, with even a tight bandage over my eyes, do you think that feminine curiosity can be that easily suppressed, 80 long as feminine fingers can slip the ties! Hore I am far above the or- dinary mortals who tread ths streets of Council Bluffs, 1 see and hear & good deal. Here I Aim by night as well as by day, ever on the wateh. The electric lights ubove my hiead serve us a pretty good lantern, and I've been looking hare and thero about the city for an lonest man, You suy it is just like woman to be hunting for a man? Hardly, for I huve been looking for an bonest man. e Have I found onet Yes. [ found several. You might not call them men, for they are little fellows, and wear jJackets, 1 see them eve morning, early, ram or shine, cold or warm, each with bundles of Bees under their arms shouting like litlle heroes. [ know two haven't missed a morning in two years, and I've got so I watch® for them wiih a good deal of interest. There are a lot of boys selling papers, but these two little fellows are really men, in heart and courage. Do you know these two little men have from their own earnings by the sale of papers on the streets clothed the.nselves, bought their own school books, und in other ways proved themselves capable of sell-support. They are cousius. One is Roscoe Loper. He is an orphan. The other 18 Marcellus Moxle; ‘Thie two live with the latter’s father. These little men are only twelve years old. Out of their earnings, besides doing a good deal for themselves, they have bought school books, shoes und other things for Moxley’s little sister, and still have managed to save over §60, which they have deposited n the bank. Another little man frequently vells in front of thd court house, “*Here's your DarLy Bee.” Hois Harry Mudge. He' puts in all his time and is a worker. Heo is struggling to pay for a $1,200 house, and his eyes glisten With enthusiasm when he fizures up that he bas already paid nearly 00 on the house. One day 1 put these names in one side of my balance while in the other side I put two brick blocks. a new hotel, and then I had to throw 1 several nayors and one or two church deacous to keep that side from flying up and hitting the beam, the little men weighing more than‘all, Such little men ure really worth more to the city than piles of brick and mortar, and are really better citi zens than mauy who are bigger and wear longer titles. id rather have one such litile man than a union depot, that is, if I was a city, and couldn’t have both, for if all the men, little and big, were made of that, kind of stuff it would be long before Council Bluffs would go strutting about wearing the tirst ribbon. #* I do hate puns, that 1s, unless they are home-made, and I'm the cook. I've hud them fired at me ever since I was raised to the top of this roof. Some were =0 hard that they battered my sides, and some so soft that they smastied against me hke the eggs thrown at Helmick, and the only strong thing about them was thoir offensiveness.

I'vo been sprinkled a good many times but [ uever had a name given me at any of these christenings. There's a good deal'in & name though. 1 know a hackman around town that gets more fares thun any other fellow who ever mounted the box, He's known as “Doc" Leary. I heard s conversation be- tween him and a policoman on the court house steps recently. The policoman was for some time stationed at the dummy depot when tho dummy was the chief mode of travel between Omaha and the bluffs. As the passengers would crowd and rush along the platform “Doc” avould dart away from his hack, grasp the grip of a stranger and at_the samo time call him by name, saying, ““How do you do, Mr. Jones (or whf®ver he might be named); don’t you want to ride up?” Tho fellow, Wwho perhups was heading for a street car, o intending to wall up Broadway, would swile, evidently ploased at being of 's0_much importance as 0 be remembered by a hackman in a strange v and 10 u_minute “*Doc” would have red him. While othor hackmen would drive away empry (thal empty) “Doc” was alway; day the policeman was quiz this. “How does it come ‘Doc’ that you know R0 Inany of these traveling men?’ “That's @ part of my business)’ replied “Doc.” “I don't know these men any bet- ter than you do, except that I know their names. I makea study of getting all the names of travelling men and others who are liable to visit Council Bluffs again, and [ don’t ask or try to romember anything else about them, that 18 a8 to their business or anything of that sort. When I haul a follow or when I get my eyes on a traveling man, I wot the name and -then 1 keop repeating it and keep thinking of how he locks, until I get him down fine. It may be two months before he comes again, but when I stop up to him and call him'by' name. you Know— well that's a part/of my business, you know.” It evidently is a paying part of the business, too. % I heard Captain Chhislus talking the other day on this sawe’ subject. Ho was talking with some maa about Garfleld, and the cap- tain went on to say that he as a boy lived right uear where Garfleld was going to school. He used to hear bis father talk about young Gartield, who kt that time was ring- ing the bell, sweeping out, lighting lamps, and doing other ‘work o pay his way at school. Cousin's father had heard young Garfield speak in some of the debating socie- ties and at school lexhibitions, and used to often remark that. 4hat boy would be heard from, Years passed and Garfield was chosen as representative to congress. Captain Cous- ins had grown to be a young man, and was a member of & band, which played on all sorts of publioc occasions in the littie towns in the vicinity of their homes. “Our band,” said Cousins, *‘was playing for the political meet- ings at which Garfleld was speaking during one of these campaigns. Every one of us knew Garfleld by sight. but he, of course, did not know any of us. 1 remeiaber at the first political meeting we played, our vand wagon was right alongside of the platform. Just before the address, while the crowd was gathering, ono of the campaiga commit- tee, wno lived in my town, came across the platform to the wagon, with Garfleld. He ntroduced Garfleld to évory one of us boy and we all had a hand shake. The next day We were at another town sonio miles distaut aad played for tho meeting thero. Garfleld came up 10 our Wagon agoin, and without waiting for any introduction’ shook bLands with our leader and calied him Ly name Wo supposed ho must have been an old ac- MARCH, 23 1890, -SIXTEEN quaintance of the loader, but what was our surprise to see him shelte hands with the next man and call him by name, and 8o on with ali of us. He didn’t make a mistake in one of us. He called every man by his name and shook hands as if he was one friends we had, 1tell you it was a thing for us fellows. \We wore all ready to shout and work for rfield, as well as play for him, We all liked it. Folks like to be remembered by their nnme and it gives a fellow a sort of idea that he is of some im-« portauce. That's human nature. But how in the world could that man under such cir- cumstances remember all of us after having been introduced to us in that sort of & way ! 1t has always puzzled me." . A piece of the slate roofing dropped down the other day. A fellow picked it up and bewan flguring on it. He was figuring on tho new hotel. A good many citizens are figur ing on tho new hotel and the union depot, but this fellow was trying to make out how many feet of piling had been put into the foundation for the new hotel. He discovered ot last that there was over six miles of that piling, enough to reach trom Council Blufts to Crescent City if put in straight line, 1 overhear a great many of tao citizens tolling what they would o 1€ they were in Mayor Macrae's place. Do you kuow what I'd do if was Mayor Macrae? Well, I'd be mayor. Yow'll find out, befors you are through with him, that ho witl Do mayor, too. I believe he has a good backbone, and whatever folks may say as to the wisdom of his administration they will all bo forced to concede that it will be a strong one. ‘The Mueller Music company made au ex- cellent display on the streets yesterda; large wagon filied with musical instrum the most conspicuous of which was the peer. less Hartman piano, headed a procession of vehicles, among which was u big band wugon filied with the Boys' Drumn corps and u cor net band. ‘The procession marched through all the principal streets and then went to Omaha, It created a good deal of interest on_the crowded strects and earned a great deal of praise for tho enterprising music dealer. RUSSIA'S SIBERIAN RAILROAD, One of the Most Stupéndous Enter- prises of Modern Times, There has been a great deal of specu- lation about the plans and prospects of a railroad ibe long the Chi- nese border, 1 San Francisco Bulletin, It i. settled that the Russian government will prosecute this great work to cempletion. The estimated cost is $200,000,000, or about as much has been sunk in the Pana- ma canal. The railroad cotnecting St. Petersburg, Moscow and Novgorod about 500 miles long and will constitu alink of the great Siberian railw From the latter city to Vladivostok something less than 4,500 miies by the sledge route 1n winter and by the caca- van route of summer. It has been for- mally announced thut the Russian gov- ernment will begin work on this road early in the sping. “Phe question has frequently been raised whether the Siberian ralroad was to be constructed for military or commercial purposes. There is hardl a doubt that it1s to be constructed foi both. Siberiais not altogether a bar- ren and desolate country. It has mueh fertiie land, valuuble mines, and there is enough timber for ordinary use. Nov gorod at one time drew an immense amount of gola and silver from Siberia. It is related that when Ivan IIL. had conquered that city in 1450 he sent 300 chariots laden with silver snd gold to Moscow. But the former city now has hardly more than 25,000, It is.however, the cliosen site for the great fairs, at which all the products of Siberia are represented, and the merchants and traders visit the fair from the valleys of the Amoor river and from the econtigu- ous parts of China, All the tea con- sumed by Russia takes the overland route across Siberia. The Russinns are a nation of tea-drinkers. There area hundred million of consumers, or would be, if they coula all be supplied with ten. The country about portions of the great Amoor river is so attractive that thousands of Chinese have focked there. They cross the line, invade the rich mines, talke possession of the fer- tile vallvys, estabiish trading posts, and crowd the Russians. Inshort,the Amoor river is the nominal boundary between a nation of about a hundred millions of people on onc_ side and 350,000,000 on the other. Two great empires meet and touch along this line. Russin is menaced and_so is China. There are still unsettled disputes abhout boundar- ies. There was a time when the Chin- ese claimed and actually occupied a large territory beyond = the Amoor river. They have been crowded back until they now face the Russians along the margin of this oreat waterway. The Chinese minister at Washington has expressed the opinion that if Rus- s14 15 to bnild a railvoad 55 Siberia to the Amoor the Chinese government will build from Peking or some other lurge city up to that river or to the boundary line as a defensive measure. This is the military view. By the aid of railroads both governments could rapidly mass groat military forces along the boundary. Every great railroad is available both for milita and com* mercial purposes. The first railr aeross the American continent originally a concossion for military pur- pos But the military chavacier was soon obseured by iis more important commercial use. It is not at all proba- that Russin contemplates building 4,500 miles of railway for military purposes alone, although that may be'an impor- tant consideration. ‘The line of a great commercial highway have long been marked along the course pursued by the Amoor. The volume of busines has been constantly increasing. It1s true that Russia contemplates enlarging the naval depot at Vladivostok, which is to be the Pacitic terminus of the railroad. But why not, since China within a few years hus established a great depot and coilected a fleet of powerful warships within a thousand miles of this Russian port? Since it 15 the order of the day to create great war fleets, and since China, the last of the nations to go into that business, has been buying ships and creating them at home, Russia will augment the fleet that will rendezvous at her great port on the Pacific. But such attention to the military situation is not inconsistent with the growing interest ol commerce. has long cherished the plan of turning as much of the [uropean commerce with China as possible across this great northern over and route. The prizo is worth the contest. The vivalry of rail- way building just now 1s more in the iterests of peace than war. A rail- road from the capital of Russin to the capital of China would be one of the most stupendous enterprises of modern times. So far as China is concerned her policy is only dimly outlined. But once a railroad is built across Siberia to th Hocige, it will be only a question of time when some power, or some inte will open railway communication b tween this line and some great trade center in Chiy Five years isthe time allowed to build the Siberian railway. The completion of such a work can hardly fail to mark the beginning of a new era of the development und civili- zation of Central Madrid. Ten thousand women soak and splash and souse and beat the linen of Madrid within the scant waters of t Man- zanares every day. Not an article of clothing is elsewhere washed, writes E L.

Exaggeration is Vulgar, Almost everything we use has some touch of decoration about it, however slight, before it is complete,and if these touches are not in good taste the thing, as a decoration, is valueless. Tt is not easy to designate how muclror how little should decorate, but it is safe to s that the tendency is to overdo rathe than to underdo it. The former is vul- gur, the latter gives a sense of meagre- ness and desolation, says the Philadel- phia Record. The happy condition of having everything of the very best, se- lected und worked out by capabie crafts- men, is possible only to the fow: the groat mujority must” be satisfied with articles of less intrinsic valve and must rely upon their own judgmeant as to the fitness of the things they are able to procure. In these days, however, when machinery turns t such beautiful fabries in such profusion that they ar within the reach of the million, there would scem to be small reason why one should not be able to get the things that are exactly fitted to one's requirements Weo have arti tic papers our walls, tistic rugs and carpets for our foors artistic cretonues and damasks and bro- cades for our hangings, and artistic glass and pottery for our tables, which, while they do not perhaps meet the un- qualified approval of the theoretical ar- tist, need not be less effective and de- coratlve than the choicest productious of the hand-locms, [t is true the modern decorator has much to contend with in amodern house. which is rarely of such acharacter as to lend itself readily to high art in the matter of furnishing: but even with these much may be done to tone down their bad points and bring out their good ones. THE for Wall-Paper a Mukeshift, Mr. William Morris, on a work on *‘Domestic Art.”” which reviewed in the Woman’s World, considers wall- papers at best but a makeshift for fresco puainting; but no one will deny that they are very beautiful makeshilts. In choosing papers a pattern of a lighter upon one of a darker shadg is one of the best, being sunple, vestful and satisfy- ing. ‘Lhese papers are the first remove from monochrome, and should be cither light or very subdued in tone never very = dark. The v lief must comc from the hangings nad other decorations, A designs in two shades of terra cotta with not mueh difference in shade 18 good; in blue a wider variation in tone is per- missable; green comes between blue and red. When a certain depth is nec- essary to the design u third shade may enter in with much effec The color of the paper must be contingent upon the location of the room, upon its uses, and, unless the furnishings are, too, re- newed with the paper, upon their color and chardcte But in every case the pattern of the s should be simple. meunwhile possessing a certain amount of mystery, A multiplication of any realistic desigr some, and 100 intricate is quite us unpleasant, Mvr. Morris gives also some admirable suggestions us to hanging wall papers. 1f the room is small and not high, or the wall much broken by pictures or tall pieces of furniture it should not he ai horizontally: puper it with one pattern and one tint only; if the room is large or fair size, a dudo of four feet 1n height and fricze running around the top will look well, ‘T'he use of two papers is not advised unless the pattern is very significant, and it is imd down as a safe rule in wall decoration to put nothing that attracts the eye more than eignt feet from the floor. Mr. Morris tinds papered ceilings sugges- tive of living in bandbox, and sug- gests tinting them flatly in harmony with paper and wood woik A Sunday Breakfast. Many houskeepars, especially those who do their own work, @ often puz- zled asto what they shall have for breakfast on Sunday morning. There ave many rcusons why the morning meal on this day should be easily and quickly prepared, and yet be palatable and plentiful, says the 2w Jersey Agriculturist. Tn' the majority of faui- ilies the fir: on is that the head of the house, tired out with the week's work, likes to indulge in an extra nap, and vonsequently the family arise much later than on other days, and the housewife is often at her “*wits-ends’ to know how to through her Sunday morning’s work in time for meeting. In New Eng d the Sunday break- fast usually consists of baked beans and brown bread, a combination wnich, when properly cooked, will be found to be both palatable und wholesome, and besides has the merit of being easily and quickly prepared. Below we give the recipes for the benefit of those who desire to try them, Baked Beans.---Take 1 quart small white beans, 1 1 uiy pork, 1 tea- spoonful salt and u tabiespoonful of mo- lasses. Parboil the beans until the skin bursts; drain and g in an earthen bean p Score the pork and place on top of the beuns, ndd salt and mol and enough warm water to near tho pot; cover tightly and b moderate oven over night, The beuns will be hot and smoking, ready for breakfast in the morning. Brown Bread.---1 cup yeast, 6 pota- toes, mash with 8 cups of flour, 2 blespoonsful and | 2 tablegpoonsful hrown sugar. Beat thoroughly and let riso five hours: until light. Sift 2 quarts of Indian moal, 1 quart rye flour, 1 teaspoonful salt, 1 | toaspoonful soda; mix up very soft with risen sponge, adding geadually § ten< " cupful molasses. Knead and rise six hours; knead again, put in deep, round pans, rise one hour and bake in moders | ate oven four hours. Colors for Rooms. The selection of colors for room dece oration should be made with care. Yels low, except of & golden tone, should not be used unless ve much broken or mingled with other colors, says the Philadgelphin Record. The bright daffodil and primrose hues are not effective in distemper painting or in dull materials, but are Ln.-u- in glise tening fabrics, Red is o difficult color to treat, and should be deep and full, & crimson tending toward russet is a good color. Pink snould incline to orange; groen should be grayish or in clear, pure shades, never yvellowish; blue is a color in which brignt shades may be used or pure, pale blue, but if it inclines to red it at once becomes cold, and if green predominates it 18 too strong. Pale yellowish-brown and pale copper tints are valuable and have the advantage of harmonizing well with most hangings, ecarpets and furnituve. The woodwork, if painted, should as a rule be the snme color as the walls, but a shade or two darker in tint. vk woodwork does not look well, unless the decoration of the room is very bright. The same rulo may be applied to floors (which we assume are covered partly with rugs.) Parquet floors should be of one kind of wood only, the ne sary varioty being produced by pattern. Plain quartered oak floors are the choice, par excellence, for living-rooms, mosaic of tile or marble for bath-rooms and halls, F. M.
