MaARY H. KROUT. Decorating the Nursery. “We first make our houses,” quotes one of the philosophers, “and then our houses make us.” " If it is true in any degree that our char- acters are builded in accord with our sur- roundings, how important is it that chil- dren should be surrounded with noble and beautiful things rather than with what is trivial and cheap? There is no doubt in my mind that the great mass of commercial toys—cheap, meaningless and flimsy—are a serious in- jury to the little ones for whose amuse- ment they are made. I have heard a fond mother complain that “my little boy received a dozen expensive toys for Christmas and had broken every one of them before night.” The child was pro- claimed ‘“destructive,” of course, and the loss of the toys was bewailed. Nobody seemed to notice that the toys were all padly constructed, evidently made to sell and not to use. Possibly makers and dealers may even have taken adyantage of the established reputation of children for destructiveness, knowing that if toys are broken only the children will be blamed. Papas who demand that arti- cles for their own use shall be well made and reliable forget to require as much for | their little ones, and make of no account a consequent trial of childish patience and a loss faith of in everything. And in too many nurseries furniture too shabby for the parlor finds a place. There is no ‘studied plan of decora‘ion for the children’s room_as in the stately drawin, room or the dininfilraom downstairs. An; yet there is no place so suggestive of gay or dainty color, schemes of novel and charming decorations as that same nursery. In an ideal home that I know the children’s room, on the second floor, has broad windows looking east and south. The house is built upon a hill, the view is excellent, and the room, all told, is much the bestin the house, as it should be, The home is not that of a Creesus, but, if sac- rifices have to be made, the babes are, least of all, the ones to suffer. The nursery is tures have been securely glued to the wall and wrought into a reasonably harmoni- ous design by means of painted lines, the whole has been carefully varnished two or three times. The result is a firm and smooth surface, which will, of course, bear washing very well. ®his uniq(;le scheme of decoration was rather accidental than premeditated. It was begun in a small way to cover a space between two windows, and to preserve some pictures that the children loved; but the result was so good, and such a source of entertainment for the small folks, that the work was carried on, a little at a time, till it has gone all around the room. The question is no longer how do it, but how to stop doing i but it has mnot been thought best to put the fascinating pictures much above the level of a child’s eyes, at least when he is kneeling or standing upon a chair; and as the pictures of all kinds go on accu- mulating endlessly, the small'denizens of this sunny, happy listle nursery world are sighing for more walls to conquer. Preventing Lung Discases. All cases of bronchitis or pneumonia are not the result of ““taking cold,” and a re- spectable portion have nothing to do with a draught. We know now that many of these disorders are purely infectious, and know of dozens of places where the air is fine which are of no therapeutic usein this direction. The greatest value in these localities is their elevation, on account of which the air is rarefied, many pounds of external pressure being thereby re- moyed from the body, and as a result of whieh the chest will expand more easily, allowing the impeded and weakened lungs to draw in deep draughts of life-giving air. The lesson is plain and easy. See thatyour little ones sit straight and’ walk straight; make them puff out their chests in the various exercises and games which your ingenuity may suggest; teach them so to swing their arms that every cubic inch of lung tissue may come into play. And then not only will you avoid a eertain per- centage of lung troubles, but also your babies will have rich: blood, will have brighter eyes and better appetites, (will make you glad every time you | notice their keener vitality and budding strength. This means is so simple that it is apt to be disregarded; but a layman would be surprised if he could see some of the beneficial results of it even in that | plague of our time, tuberculosis of the | lungs. — Nathan Oppenheim, M.D., in | Babyhood. | Philosophy From Babyland. | Mamma—What is Willie crying about?

Like- wise it is known that consumption is in all probability not hereditary, but that merely the predisposition is transmitted. The bacillus of tuberculosis does not fly about in an erratic way, striking-hideous blows here and there without reason and logical sequence. Indeed, I do mnot know of anything more logical in its actions than one of these micro-organisms. Unless you invite it, it leaves you in peace. Coax it, and it flies on lightning wings. Let us look at the matter from the side of concrete cases. A child weak from natural or induced conditions leads an in- active life or goes about with drooping and rounded shou%dera, orin sitting curls him- selfup in a position requiring the least out- lay of strength and effort. As a result this unexpanded part of the Iung, instead of helping the rest of the body, straightway becomes a drain, an idle consumer of force, an excellent breeding ground of germ dis- eases.

Away she goes under the electric imbulse | of her double bank of oars that swing in the perfect rhythm of a song, and the anxious hearts of her ship sail in her. Under the bowsof the vessel the cox- swain orders “Toss oars!” and up go the thin blades together until they stand ver- | tical on the thwarts and the challenge is complete. Now is heard another call, and a second boat pulis out from her ship’s gangway, following the challenger to the marking buoy, whence they will spring, arrowlike, away in a contest where mighty muscles, with perfect discipline, vie for supremacy. Miles down the stretch is the stake where a turn must be made, a maneuver so deli- cate that the swerving of the tiller a bair- breadth from the necessary angle may deaden headway or foul an oar and oring on the disaster of defeat. Let one luckless rower in that double line of human ma- chines that rise and fall, rise and fall, ever get the infinitesimal fraction of a beat out of time, or catch the ghost of a “crab,” let him dip his feathery blade one stroke im- perceptibly deeper than his mates, and a catastrophe is upon them. So thorough has been their practice that the muscle force of each man has been gauged to the ounce and his endurance tested to the sec- ond, so that in a perfect equipoise of power the racer will carry a midship helm until she curves for the homeward work and the straight stretch away for the finish. No need is there o follow. these fleet and graceful galleys in their tug-of-war over miles of water, their weakened frames lengthening out and drawing ' together with the elasticity of rubber under the beat ot the straining oars. The racing coxswain, standing in_the stern-sheets with swaying hand and body, moves his men with one impulse and they never take their eyes from his, knowing that victory can only come, if come it will, from that incessant stare. They watch him with the hungrf' look of desperate longing, and life ‘ebbs low in that deadly struggle. The broken, bubbling water rushes hissing away astern, and the distinct eddy made by t%e fall of each oar can be seen in two lines of foam spots on each side of the white wake long after the boat has passed ahead, as though the eternal flow and reflow of the tide was for the time being checked. Then sounds the ending gun, and at the order of “oars” .the crew sit still with their blades resting horizontally in the rowlocks. Somebody hoists the cock-flag in the victorious bow and the speedy racer comes back to her davits, | matchless skill with the oar. Patrick F. | Ryan, whose picture accompanies this | | article, now living at 12 Washington street | in this city, was the racing coxswain and | steered her in the seventeen races she won. | “Paddy” Ryan, as he is _known in every station on the globe, is a New York naval | apprentice, a thorough sailor, and an ex- | cellent specimen of the new navy. After a notable race in Callao, Peru, | where the victorious crew made a gener- | ous conation to the Sisters of Charity in | Lima, the grateful women presented the | boat with a silk flag which they had made. | The barge won $1500 from the Brooklyn in | Montevideo, and $2000 from the famous Peruvian (now Chilean) warship Huascar. She beat the Apprentice Boy, a foreizn- built boat belonging to the Adams, and in the race she carried printed on her bow, “Uncle 8am built this boat,” a slur which was the cause of several free-to-all fist fights ashore between the men of the two ships. She was afterward renamed the Undine by Coxswain Ryan. Her last great race was at Honoluly, in 1888, in | which she beat King Kalakaua’s barge, the Kapiolani, which she led by two seconds overacourse of five milesaround the old red buoy inside of the harbor. Cramp, the Phitadelphia shipbuilder, was the referee. Over $100,000 changed hands, and the race wasonly decided after a suit at law. She ;o“t finally beaten By the Adams’ black a The world-known Daring was built at New York in 1869 by Charles Hupenstaul, whose splendid boats are famous in all waters. She went to the China station on the Colorado as Admiral John Rodgers’ fleetbarge. She raced during all her naval life and was defeated only twice,by the Nonpariel and by the Powhattan’s barge called in derision the ‘‘Sandboat,” from her clumsy shape. She is now laid up at Mare Island. new boat was built on her lines by Boat-builder Gibson at the navy-yard, which gave promise of rivaling the original, but the new craft was lost in the Vandalia at Apia. =The Arpmuce Boy was built by the contributions of the naval apprentices of the steamer Adams at Rio. She was a larqa sixteen-oared barge, but was a veri- table paper-weightand as light as a com- mon whitehall. She won in several con- tests, but she overmatched everything in the southern waters and could gétno more races. Her coxswain was “Old Charley Brown,” a well-known character in the naval service. She was sold by the boys to some person in Vallejo who had some diffi- culty in persuading the yard officers that she was not the lproperty of Uncle Sam. The Olga, a 14-oared barge, named in it upon themselves to add a little overtime | . to their Satuzday’s work yesterday, and lingered until half past the hour of 4 until ‘W. E. Metson, attorney for the office, arrived in response to a telephone message asking him to come and say pleasant ties. The deputies had combined in the pur- chase of a magnificent shield badge of of- fice and they wanted it presented in a manner befitting its beauty. They had asked J. H. Barry to say the pretty things in his happiest vein, and Barry consented, but at the last minute, on account of ill- ness, he telephoned that he couldn’t come, so they were compelled to call in their own attorney, and he did it in proper fashion. The Sheriff had been wondering why his men were so reluctant to leave the office, and only realized the situation when the attorney walked in and a big, blue plush box was sprung on him, which, being opened, revealed a big, flashing diamond and an elaborate gold badge in the form of a shield. On the face are slmplg the words, “Sheriff—City and County of San Fran. cisco.”” In the center wasa large diamond. Sheriff Whelan accepted the gift with a few words of thanks, very proverly said for a man taken at a disadvantage. This being concluded the services were, by some not in the secret, 1 nght to be over, but the speaker pulled aLother piush box that had been bulging out his coat-tail 1;?ocket, and turning to Under Sheriff Wil- iam Clack presented it to him.
