Chawtin1 Ore Fight From the Vo tlist ' Standpoint. There are few tbiups more dV-triiiM-n-tal to the general appearance cf a room than a paltry, iurifriiifieaiit mantel piece, a rtrncture. w hich is nothing but a nar row tbt If ni- eonxwta, and iw) answer, tie purpose of framing or fin ibiug the fir place without any attempt at tbe cruaiiH'Utal. We are mot of u nnfortnnately fa miliar with this unbecoming phare of tbe builder", art, and our first desire is always to replace it by something in Letter taste and etyle, but too often tbe cort of so doing is a consideration, tbe property not beiup our own, and we are obliged to content ourselves by try ing ways and means cf disguising its cgliuws. Sometimes we try to tide over tbe difficulty by OFing draperies, but this treatment is not an unqualified success, as there is linger of tbe curtains catch ing fire, and tbey have also a wonderful faculty for collecting dust In a bed room, however, a simple drapery jvet over tbe eacli, finished by a pretty trimmijc:. will often bo an improve ment and is quite inexpensive. For tho norc important rooms it is often advisa ble to uk) a wooden casing, which is made to fit over the entire mantelpiece and has quite tbe appearance of a fix- ILVHarA- tomb i' iio "- 1 IS J U kfj. p.! VAJ"TEI.riECE WITH BACK. tore. It is, however, made in parts so iugenioasly fastened together that it is tbe simplet-t operation either to erect it or to take it down. In this way tbe ngly iron mantel, to often found in tbe or dinary small fl it, may be most success fully dihguiked, and if we do not care to go to tbe expense ct having tbe cas ing in real wood, Kuch as mahogany or walnut, it can bo made in pine and fctaintd cr painted any color. lbs inoffensive wood mantelpiece may be treated in quite a different fash ion, as, by making Mae little addition to it hi the tihape of a back or overman tel, it may be improved beyond recog nition. Tho back should be about 13 or 14 inches in height, running the length of tbe mantelpiece, and it feboald finish at tho top by a deep molding. It may be either all cue panel or it may lit three, tbe center one forming a frame for a mirror or rketch. For something rather more elaborate there is again the small cabinet overmantel, which make a very pretty feature in a drawing room or sitting room, ns it may be nsed for tbe display cf choice bits of china. It has latticed glass doors and is lined with j lush or silk the color cf the walls and fcbould be made in proportion io the mantelpiece, so that it in no way over powers but gives character to it. Tbe same idea may be turned to use ful account in tbe smoking room by making tho cabinet a smoker's over uxmtuL In the center there must be a cupboard with carved wood doors, in tended for storing the cigar boxes, which always require a dry place, and another upright capboard of smaller size on the lift tide forms a receptacle for tobacco pot and a-su trays, while on the opposite side a pipe rack and match bolder are skillfully devised. It is a simple contrivance red can be made really quit ornamcutal as well as use ful. Very frequently a discolored" marble mantelpiece can l immensely improved by being painted to resemble the wood work cf the roeni, and by treating it in this way it is made a mnch less aggres sive feature, red the addition of a small overmantel will prevent it looking too insiguifiauit. T?ie tVomu OnraUon. Tbe attempt to discuss the woman question as a separate and independent lteui in social and domestic affairs is an egregious blunder, although one to whicb its perpetrators may not awakes in time to undo some cf tbe mischief which their CiUtaken notions have done. An old philosopher likcus the home and society to a whuL Tbe borne is the Lub; tbe spokes are tbe varioas inter- su which radiate from aul center there Tbe rim corresponds to tbe mar rage relatiuu which binds and consoli dates tbe family and tbe bout hold. If one spoke is imperfect, warped out of plorub or in any way incapable of ful filling its entire mission tbe wheel is, as a matter of course, not in proper working condition. The manufacturer who would send out a Yehicie with spokes warped, twisted or in any way out of guar would be voted a soriy work man, and tbe reputation of his establish ment would drop far below zero as soon as the fact became known. Nor would it benefit him in any way to give spe cial attention to the spokes on one side cf tbe wheel while be neglected or ig nored the condition of those on the oth tsi. In fact, tbe more he pointed and polished tliese the worse the other ones would appear. At locg as human nature is built upon its preirtit lines jest to long there will be botoes and firesides and families. This is part .of tbe great plan cf natcre, and to attempt tv ignore or do violence ta it is to etxike at the very he;trt of na ture hrrlt The world is full cf "re formers of various torts, who are ocn tinaully rralia about living up to rules and regulations cf their own making. They indulge in ceaseless diatribes about .urbing natural inclinations and re fcriEiii tbe existing t:ite of thinps. Tbcy f:Ttt or purposely dirmrard that -';bich evry dce student of bnman na-ji-rf knovi s to be the fact that when D.ar t uipts to make laws in conflict with vhote of the natural world be is infallibly rtruin to duetroy not only that which he attempts to make over or modify, bet he miks at the very ia tccrity of society itself. This iinpirUnt fact it soenis to be out of tbe qiettion to make tbe unwise iconoclast comprehend, even in the smallest decree. Literally run mad in their eiithasiasia ever their pet fads, tbey go cn explc-itiag what they see fit to term tbe woman que'Stion, and instead cf creating the ref.ria fcr which their souls seem to long they find that they have created an antagonism between the sexes and sown dissension where possibly they meant to harmonize and unite the sexes. It is not irObe in tention Lut the actual results ri each work that the danger lies. Men and women should never feel that there is any cause cf antagonism or dissension, as in reality there is none.

It was a pioneer worker in the line of helpfulness to women.

Tbey set a high standard of excellence, which has been followed iu ell the exchanges of the country. The articles they 6ell represent tbe most exquisite quality of woman's work. Dut they bad to educate the con signors as well as set the standard high. Women came to them wishing to be consignors, but knowing of no kind of work they could do. Then they taught tbeiu. even discovered their talents for them. For many . years Mrs. William G. Choate, tbe president, had what might be called a confessional in one corner of one cf tbe rooms. It was partitioned off by a KTee-n, and there on certain days iu the week she saw the would be con signors, listened to their troubles and told them what they could do. If there was no knowa work the woman could do, Mrs. Cboato invented something. This is illustrated in the case of the son of one woman. He was a little fellow, but be had "shipped before the mast." lie was very proud of tbe number of sailor's knots be could tie. Mrs. Choate wondered if that knowledge could not be utilized. She suggested that a rope or heavy twine screen be made cf all this variety of knots. The boy did it successfully, tbe screen was ihl for f jO, und others were ordered.

He bad gone out to tiie wheat field, where his father was driving the harvester, and bad begged to be taken up on the high seat by his father's side. The harvester was one of those won derful babor saving machines of which farmers use so many in these days. It cut the wheat, swept it into sheaves, bound them, and tossetl them aiJe. For a time all this was very interest ing to the little fellow. Then lie grew tired of sitting still, and begnn to squirm ; and, be-fore tlie father knew what was going on, the boy had turn bled olf. lie screamed as he found himself go ing; but, before the horses could be s!opjed, the machinery had caught him, " rolled Lim up in a bundle of wheat, bound Lim at-otit the legs and the neck with twine, and there lie lay on the ground. He was not hurt. A little skin had been scratched fro'n one ef his should ers ; and he was, or thought be was, almost choked. That whs all ; but he was very much frightened. -o- Tasted Leather and Iron. - "Talking alsmt a fine and discrimin ating taste for whisky," said the old gentleman over in tlie corner of the store, "recalls to my n.iiid an incident that occurred up in the Cab-kills, last summer.

The Child'! Faith in His Mithjr. A little fellow, disputing witti his sister, said, "It's true, for mother says so, and if mother soys so it is so if it ain't so." Another lioy, not more than 7 years old, hearing a gentleman at his father's table d'scus.sing the familiar line, "An honest man's the noblest work of O kI," declared he knew this was not true, for his mother was better than any man that ever was made!
