THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. t. WtNK, COITOft PBOMUITOB. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1S07, Aiinoiiiirruirnf. Republican primaries May 15, 1SH7. HRI.KOATK TO BTATR COW VKNTIOl. We are authorized to announce the name or LEON WATSON of Green Township as a candidate for Delegate to the (Slate Convention, subject the images of the Republican party. Tins time last year I he American people were anxious about the gold reserve.. It seems like aticiet history. Peru has suspended the coinage of silver at the government mint. It is losing business, and Peru is tired of it. There is as yet no new tariff law, and this is one of several reasons why it is absurd to talk about the recent municipal elections as tariff contests. Mr. Olney will write a book de funding bis Cuban policy. He should explain why it is easier for an Amer ican citizen, to get out of a Cuban pris on under this administration than it was under the last. "HOME DECORATION And all that liclntcK to Comfort. Con venience, Health mill Enjoyment In a Country l!ome." In the revolt of Greece against Turkey in 1812 the first shots were fired by a small body of Greek sol diers who could n?t be restrained. mil . . m . . . xne long war that tallowed gave Greece independence. John Parsiiall an old soldier, died very suddenly of heart failure at Ind ianapolis, Ind., recently. He was one of the six soldiers iutrusted with the final disopsition of the remains of John Wilkes Rootb, tbe assassin of Lincoln, all of whom registered an oath never to reveal is ioth s resting place. Apparently the way is now clear for Theodore Tilton to relun to this country when, although a land of mel ancholy reccollectiona for him, is still his home. In the whole history of lives that have been blasted by scan j.ii.i .. uau mere is no more patuetio case than that in which he was one of the figures. I eh latest "promise of peace" for Cuba ought to be accepted with some reserve. 1 he ouly promise of peace for Cuba lies in hope of freedom now Should she fail this time, history will wait a while and then try again The spirit that is abroad in Cuba to day will nut be satisfied with either defeat or compromise. It uoubi be free. The "New English Dictionary" in . i i - . -. i . course oi puoncaiion in Jnglaud is now complete as far as the letter "E," inclusive. It will be an immense work Already it embraces 89,591 words, with twenty-one letters of the alphabet to follow. Of tbe words now in print 47,786 are current, 15,952 obsolete, and the remainder alien. No one can say that the language of the future is not voluminous enough. It is a splendid idea that of send ing John W. Foster as special embas sador toTurkey, to Btraighten out the crooks in our diplomatic affairs with that country. If any one can succeed in doing it, Mr. Foster can. It is time the Turks were brought to real ize mat Americans in turkey roust nave proper treatment. By all mtans eend ei aecretary of stale, Foster, there to convince tbem. In tbe free trade analyses of Chair ri i i i ... oiau uiogiey a cnaracter wbicli are going the rounds of tbe press, justice is perhaps unwittingly done to his so cial qualities and to his mental habits, the charges against him being re servea to ins alleged intention to force his destructive tariff bill upon tbe statute books. Upon the latter point Mr. Diugley can easily appeal bis case to the people. They have their own notions now on the subject of what constitutes a destructive tar iff, and there is warraut for the be lief that tbe notions are not widely at variance with bis. Unlike the free traders, at least, they do not believe that tbe wav to bolster up American trade is to turu it over to foreigners PluWa Inquirer. Up to the present time we have ob served no disposition on the part of the women of tbe other Stales to em uiaie nieir Colorado sisters aud ee cure such legislation as will enable them to enlist in tbe National Guard. The women uf Pennsylvania have not gone to Harrisburg to lobby for such anin; tne women oi xew lork are not at Albany on a similar mission in iMosfacliusbtts, ( )hio and even iu the Stale bordering on Colorado, they appear, as a rule, to be sitisfied witb women's accustomed work. Pos sibly the feminine nature cannot be changed by legislative enactment. 1 hat was attempted, we believe, in tbe matter of the theater bat. Pos sibly when war does come they will coutent themselves with nursing tbe wounded aud closing the dim eyes of the dead. At any rate, they are not buvioer uniforms iu lob lots, luat is enough fur us. BY OKIlTRimR MCKI.1IOKS MORBOW. The words of the old saw "My son Is my son till lie got!him a wife, nut my daughter is my daughter to the end of her life" liavo been running thro' my mind over sinoo I consented to write a paper for this Institute, and In them I found (he only reason why I should have been selected to write, for a farmer's daughter I am and shall bo to tho end of my Hffi One cannot long live in a home in either town or country without becoming keen ly alivo to its comforts and discomforts, its beauties or its lack of beauty, and where is to be found a farmer's wife or daughter who Is not ever on tho alert to discover some new way to disguise some ugly, stubborn, fact of every day life. A mistake in the location or plan of the bouse, or maybe, only a mistake in tho color of paper or carpet, seeking over to find out tl.e tones which will harmonize with the notes already struck till all is "one grand sweet song." The things I have seen may not be new sights to many eyes but they may be to some, and may open some eyes to see tbe heaven that lios around us at homo our country homes. First let us view our home from tho outside, remembering other homes that nestle among vines and branches. Think of the robin's nest, built up of bits of sticks and grass, yet so carefully set among tho branches as to seem quite' in place, after alii the big gray hornet's nest, a part of tha limb from which it swings, and tho oriole's nest, a piece of nature's own drapory on a favorite tree. Seeing these we will not set our house out by itself on an open field but will leave some sturdy inon- archs of the wood to guard our homes as he lias guarded the homes of bird and squirrel In years gone by. Of course no tree should be left so near the house as to endanger its safety in a time of storm but yet near enough that its pro tecting shadow may fall upon us daily. But if our house is already built and the woodmen have not spared a single tree what may we do to get into harmony with our surroundings T Other trees may bo planted and while they are grow ing into shade givers, we may plant vines to cover our porches and windows to catch tbe feverish fingers of sunlight ere they penetrate too deeply into the life centres of our home. It is well to plant two varieties at first, one annual thnt will clamber clear to tbo roof in a single sea' son, and the other a slow grower that will at first only reach a little ways up wards but year by year mounting high er clinging to brick or board, wherever it can find a foothold till the annual need no longer be planted. Are vines health ful T I think so. Of course we do not want them to screen our windows but in slender columns to sway back and lorth wi'.h every passing breeze, not excluding the sunlight entirely but extracting from it its finest glare ere it reaches our rooms, It is now asserted that vines, instead of inducing dampness as is sometimes urged, really absorbs moisture in thoir close contact with moist surfaces. Rut vines can never take the place ot trees so what shall we plant in our yard T apple, peach, pear and cherry trees. Fruit trees ! yes, but not because they are fruit trees but because they are tntly decora. tive. What other tree presents such a variety of attractions as those I've named T Take the apple tree, a mass of daintiest pink and white blossoms in May ; next a mound of pale green changing to a deeper shade as tho season advances till, in September, the rich hues of the ripe fruit shine out fro'm a back gronnd of dark rich green. What sweet er scent than that atlorded by these bios somsT "Blow, wind, and waft thro' all our rooms The fragrance ot the chorry blooms! Let somber yews and spruces find a place elsewhere ; there is no room for them about the farm house door. But we must hasten, we are only in the yard let us mount the steps and stand on the porch not the veranda or portico, please, just a porch, a good, big, wide one, Big enough to accommodate the whole family on suinmor evenings without having to hold an overflow meeting ou the steps and grass below. Let us visit the livingroom first; the brightest cheeriest room in the whole house. The room which exerts on every member of the household an influence either uplifting or depressing. In the winter season this room is hung with pu per of some warm tint perhaps oi yellow, since it catches and makes much of every chance sunbeam and hehis light up the room on gloomy days. Yellow, the color of sunshine and ripened grain is always a cheerful color and when skillfully used never a trying one. There is pleuty of light in our living room; the vines havo been taken dowu and the winter sunshine enters ume strained. A lew thrifty, hardy house plants brighten one window, not many for tho farm house-wives are busy folk but they are suluciont to bring to our minds thro' the long, dreary winter tho green and the bloom of a summer to come. Above them In his cago a bird Uits about singing, now and again, of brighter days ami sunnier skies. Pictures are on the walls of this room, not expensive one-, perhaps, but picture which irifi Hoinething. A restful land scape Inn vim, for one; the pictured face of a saint or cl"uli fr the wnnij and some hihtore-ul tr lh third. Choose tlii Utu-r . .r t i r children ak often for lor , .i a g mm1 story is sutgH-i.-t l - " . I ' 1 no unworthy picture li t.d - .

II liaiu only a k w piu turcn let u change tlnlil around so that we are led to lin k oftiu at a luvorilu pic turu because of it new ciiviroiiuie'it Let tho titcning houi the parlor change places w ith some more familiar one iu the living room ami each will be re. studied bv all. 't he furniture in this room is bought for use rather than as ornamental lea tures. There iu a w ide low couch w here weary mothers may snatch a few mill utes needed rest at times. The conch has lots of pillow s w ith bright strong wash able covers; they are not too linu to pil low the roughest boyish head aud strong enough to endure an occasional pillow tight. The cushions aud headrests ou the rockers aud easy chairs aie all on "to slay" lor lather aud the boy, a a rule, do not like to pick up thiuga. There is a big fat floor cushion (I hope It 1ms a red cover) which dellubts the heart of the child who likes to lie on tho floor and resd his future in the glowing firo or In summer to sco tho moon rise, from his couch tho porch made less hard by bis faithful floor cushion. There is not much that Is merely ornamental In our living room but much "which pertains to the health, comforts and convenience of our country home." Let us visit tho parlor: Have you over seen a parlor like this f the door creaks a little as we enter showing that it is sel dom opened ; the couch springs are as stiff as when set here years ago; tho chairs are so unused looking wo dread gelling acquainted with them ; tho eiu isins hang primly ; tho family portraits frown at us from tho walls, and our con versation languishes and wo long to be back In the free and easy living room. No amount of cost and labor will Impart to our rooms the charm which belongs to rooms in which every day lives are lived. So let us opon wide our pnrlor windows In summer to let tho wind blow the primness out of tho curtains even if it should bear with it somo unwanted dust Let us all gather here for music on sum mer evenings and sahimtn anernoons. Iet us have fire in the parlor sometimes in winter when no company is expected and spend an occasional evening here just by ourselves. For somo of us will use these homes of ours only a little lon ger till we hear the call to "the upper country, the fuller day" and lot us enjoy to the full the best we have all by our selves occasionally, for we love ourown the best. In this room tho clover fingers of the girls find expression in embroidery, drawn work, etc., for table covers, drap eries, photograph koldors and dainty sofa pillows. Care should be taken in work of this kind that each pieco harmonize with every other. Many a bit of really beautiful fancy work loses its charm by being placed among uncongenial neigh bor. Who has never seen a .pink head rest on a red chairT Parlor decoration sometimes assumes cuiious forms. Gilded clothes-pins aud tosting sacks mav be decorative, but I must confess my inebility to view them In that light. In faraway city homes a decorated spill ing wheel may servo to show "how the world do move" but in our country homes where the busy whir of the wheel has scarce died away, it is quite too soon to nttiro it in paint aud ribbons and use it as a decorative possibility. Wouldn't it bo quite as good taste to treat the dls carded scythe and rake to a coat of paint and a ribbon or two? Where would the the end of these things be f "Dinner is served." Few farm houses can boast a dining room and especially in winter; tho most of us like Mrs. lntnev a girls must either "dine in the kitchen or kitch in the dining room." So into the kitchen wo go to dine. The table linen tho' not very fine is white and clean ; tho clever fin gers of the guls hevo wrought a center piece and doilies. In winter we must do without floral table decorations. but all summer long flowers may be had for this purpose. It we have no time to cultivate (lowers the children can find some very effective wild ones. A center pieco of daisies or wild roses is within reach of us all in their season. One of the prettiest center pieces I ever saw was made ot thorns and the feathery blossoms of the elderberry. Apple and peach blossoms can bo made to form as beau tiful table decorations as ever appear on the tables of the city bred. Lot us "take stock" at the first of next season and let not a single week pass without a new flower for our tables. Beginning with arbutus in April and ending with golden rod in October we need not have a single floworless day. Let us go upstairs and visit the sleep ing rooms, the children's first: quite early in lilo childien begin to show artis tic tendenciescrude efforts thev aro at first. But children ought to have some place whore every harmless hobby may be riddeu without fear of censure, and I know of no better place for this than their own rooms. Of course the results may not always bo artistic to our older eyes, but never mind, the children are learning, and we are needed only to di reet their ideas into proper channels. If one boy has a collection of bird's nests let us furnish him witb a Httle tree firm ly fixed to a block of wood which will hold all the nests he'll collect while the fad lasts and not prove an eyesore either. Old pictuie frames may be made to hold mounted specimens of insect life, while his geological specimens neatly labeled are arranged on a convenient stialf near the window. If our boy's room contains no wardrobe let ui make one which will serve more than one purpose : a box, say four feet long by eighteen inches wide, is furnished with castors anil a hinged top. The inside is divided into two compart ments one for clothes aud the other for boots and shoes. It is neatly papered in side ; the top is J added with perhaps an old comforter and covered with some bright cretonne or deiniii ; brass nails hold it iiriiily in p'.uce along the edge of tho lid. The box proper is concealed by a deep flounce of the same material as the top and lo a combination wardrobe and couch for our boys room, a much more decorative feature than is atlorded by a drapery of men's clothing on the walls. The girls' room we will find contains draperies and many fancy articles their clever fingers have devised to adorn their own room. Both boys and girls are re quired to keep their rooms in order un der the penalty of losing their treasures With a word about special decorations I must close. We must !ok to nature as a guide in the arrungeuiiMit-of her treas ures. When a How cr droops naturally wo must never arrange it boiled upright or vici versa. Flowers that grow ill clus ters u.ay be arranged in masses with good etleet. while those blossoms that nature sets alone must be arranged with lots of green about them. Nature has a grand color scheme we would do well lo study and follow in our decorating. See the pale green of Iho new grass starrei with bluets and paler anemone; the rieli hues ot tho (lowers that nestle among the rank grass of midsummer and the rich red and yellow of suinsto ami gohlenrod which come when the grass is seared by the breath of coming w inter. Iu all our ellorts at home decoration let us be con bistent v illi oui environment. We can not till our rooms with the Mime, thing! our city cousin can, but we have al our very doors decorative material the can not bu v. Let us open our eyes to the beauties w hich lie ill w hat we call com uiou things. Let us use the material nature lavs at our hand and learu Willi Paul "therewith to be content."
