The postal card craze has affected
the needlewoman and the embroidered

riling llm Floor,
Some women who thought to do with
rugs on ordinary Honrs for the heated
period have come to the conclusion
that the ordinary floor Is not a thing
of beauty.
It may be wonderfully Improved,
however, and. If it is at all decent,
transformed into a thing of beauty.
l'irst, you don your rubber gloves
nnd give the boards a coat of ammo
nia. 'using a paint brush. Several
coats of aiuniotiln will darken wood
until those who behold it must fancy
it an Inheritance from a grandparent,
at least.
Then comes the stain, which stain
Is a I. latter of taste. Alter tills shellac
Is often applied, and when dry It Is
rubbed thoroughly with pumice stone
and oil. Still further polisii will re
sult by using beeswax and turpen
tine. The wax should be finely shredded
before It. Is covered with the turpen
tine, and then It Is left to stand for
live or six hours ami it should lie
stirred with u slick occasionally until
it is of the consistency of honey, when
It Is ready for use.
A piece ot flannel Is better than a
brush for the polishing.
It is best to buy a dull finish stain
and to do the polishing as already In
dicated. Tim I'rnblein or Ilia Mantel.
The young housekeeper Is much bet
ter off in a house having only a mail
tel sheir over the fireplace than with
an ordinary over mantel. In that case
she can invest the 11 replace with
great interest and beauty, nnd lend
it the charm of her Individual tastes,
making it from floor to celling a study
In composition.
Certain principles should always be
followed. In the Ilrst place it should
be remembered that the space above
the mantel has architectural values of
Its own, and must always be consid
ered in relation to the rest of the room.
Certain laws should always be fol
lowed, and the question of proportion
never neglected. Architecturally con
sidered the space over the mantel-shell'
iM'longs to the rest of the wall space,
and Its decoration must be carried up
to the celling, so that the Hues of
doors, windows, and fireplace should
be balanced. When the architect or
builder, however, has left only a bare
space over the manlel-slielf, the house
holder in her decoration should ob
serve the general laws of decoration
which he has laid down. Thus when
n picture, mlrrbr or bass relief Is
Introduced over the mnutel-shelt' It
takes the place of a panel. Croat care
must be taken In placing ll, so that
no general rule of proportion Is vio
lated. Thus a picture or bass relief
not tilling the entire space should be
so hung that the wall spaces above
and below it are properly balanced.
A small or unimportant picture is to
be avoided, certain straight up-and-down
or curved Hues are always to be
suggested. Harper's ltazar.

THE MAJESTY OF THE SWORD.
It Una lleen Known 1o Krery Civil

It Is Impossible to mime any weapon

.10 traced back till It Is lost In the mists
f the most ancient tradition. Though
ts blade bears the blood stains of
very civilized race under the sun, yet
1 halo ot romance Is eqalty Insepnra
ile to Its presence among most civil
ized nations.
Probably there Is no one better read
n the history of the sword, as there
s no man better versed in Its use,
ban Captain Alfred Hutton. V. S. A.,
ivho Inherited his love of fencing from
'lis father, himself a pupil of the fa
nous Aiigelo, as Captain Alfred Hut
ton was of that great Instructor's wcll

a buckler of Henry the VIII's reign,
a gorget in use when Charles II was
king and a ease of double-swords, as
used by Tybalt when lighting Mercii
Ho wltli a sword lu each hand: and
these lend the conversation to Ihe
sword practice as introduced by
Shakespeare In his plays,
"To the swordsman Shakespeare's
plays sire essentially interesting, but
none more so than the play 'Komeo
and Juliet,' said Captain Hutton. "The
play Is full of lighting in single com
bat. Firstly you have the encounter
between the retainers with swords and
iiicklers; secondly, the duel wllh sin
gle swords between Tybalt mid Iten
vollo, which tiulshes with a peculiar
seizure of l lie wrist. Then there is
t lit- encounter between Tybalt and
Mercutio, each armed with two
swords. Afterward comes Romeo's
light with Tybault with a rapier and
a dagger. Illustrative of the death of
I'yhalt by menus of the thrust, pas-
sato sotto, delivered on bended knee;
and lastly: the light between Uoiueo
and Paris in the tomb with rapier ami
dagger, the linal blow being given
to Paris as bis wrist is seized.
"The history of the evolution of the
sword from its first simple form
would be scarcely possible without Il
lustration V" was suggested.
"Not easily. Of course, I can explain
Ihe changes by the swords hanging
on yonder walls. Hut, when you come
to description, that the simplest form
of a sword, with a straight, transverse
hilt like a cross, gradually developed
to two or more branched guards till
It became n "swept" hilt. As to the
blade, lu the course of the sixteenth
century the ordinary straight, two-
edged sword was lengthened, nur-
rowed Into what Is known as the Ital
ian or Spanish rapier. Afterward, In
the early part of the eighteenth cen
tury, the use of the cdj.'e was practi
cally abandoned in rapier play, and
the French hiiyonct-shuucd dueling
sword, and so led to the permanent In
troduction for military purposes of the
times.
"Dueling Is nowadays, of course, ab
solutely Illegal; besides, It Is unneces
sary since the legislature has provided
remedies against Injuries to one's
honor us well as to one's property and
person; but formerly duels formed n
handy means of redress, yet one much,
much abused. At one time men fought
for any or no cause of quarrel, while
the seconds frequently engaged on
their own account. Doubtless the do
mestic use of swords greatly fostered
dueling, and so great did the evil be
come In France In the time of Henry
IV. that It Is said no less than 4iMH)
gentlemen fell In the duels in a period
of eight years during the King's reign.
Many edicts nud ordinances had been
made against dueling in France, but
Cardinal Itlchelleu was the Ilrst I en
force the death penalty; this and other
examples which were made, for a
time, ihecked the evil." London

which preceded the relief of that place.
When it became known that the road

blurted out: "Old Tom, the gardener,
Is dead." An antl-cllinax which, In

was the first Item of home news which
tlie younger one heard after a sick

Perhaps the most remarkable dis
covery ever made lu America was the
diminutive race of horses found re
cently near a great lake in the wilds
of Wyoming. The tiny equities, though
less than two and a halt feet high,
were perfect sHclmens of fully ma
tured horses. Fxact images of tine
horseflesh as seen to-day, they were
nevertheless smaller than Huy pony
living at present. Amazement tilled
the minds of the scientific men who
found tho little animals.
Thousands of them Inhabited the
shores of the lake, yet they have never
been found elsewhere. Perhaps some
choice food peculiarly adapted to their
needs grew along Its shores. It Is
doubtful if they were ever ridden by
man, nud certainly a human of nor
mal slzo would never have ntteuipted
to bestride so small a creature. If
dwarfs rode upon the lillputian steeds,
no traces of their preseuce have yet

ftolvlita ft Vexatlona (Juration.
HOUSKMKX. bicyclists and
automobile owners are still
trying to solve the vexatious
6 question of good roads. All
agree that the country should contain
enough good roads, so that everybody
who wishes to move about either for
business or pleasure should have nn
opportunity of doing so with the great
est possible comfort and economy.
Hut what kind of a road will best still
all persons Is tlu; question on which
all seem to spill. The farmers declart
that the roads ought to be of stonf
so that, farm produce may be takeu
to market for twelve mouths In th
year Instead of for only nine months,
the time In which a dirt road may be
used ordinarily by the farmers. The
farmers put up a strong argument1
saying that the farmer Is the back
bone of the Hepuhllc. and that when
the farmer does not prosper there rail
be no general prosperity. Then the bi
cyclist comes along with a splendid
argument to show that a stone roue'
Joggles too much for the wheelmen
The cyclists declare that the roaO
ought to be either of ordinary dirt ot
of macadam where It will not pay tc
have asphalt pavements for the wheel
men. The niitomohHo men who nri
now rapidly increasing In numbers
rather side with the farmer who neeib
a rock road that can be used In all
kinds of weather, but the driver ot
light harness rigs or the rider ot
horses steps Into the contest nnd do
clares that stone roads Injure ali
horses that have to travel faster than
u slow Jog trot. The horsemen de
clare that the stone pavements hreet!
nil kinds of trouble for horses that
travel moderately fast, Including the
horses driven by tradesmen nnd deliv
er) men. The Injury of the stout
roads, they declare, are to the foot,
leg and lung. Dr. If. II. Kane, Presl
dent of the Drivers' and Killers'
league, of New York, Is out wltli a
statement on this subject, which will
no doubt attract the attention of all
classes concerned, and which may lead
to a compromise in the demands mailt-
hereafter by the various organizations N
with the happy result thnt everybody
will get some of Ihe things he desires
even if he does not have the whole
road to himself. The plan proposed
by Dr. Kane Is .as follows: First,
there should be one road along the
main artery of trntllc to nnd from the
principal markets built of stone for
the farmers nnd all others who have
to do heavy'trucklng; second, on either
side of this stone road should be a dirt
road about eljtlit feet wide for the es
pecial use of horsemen nnd all kinds
of harness vehicles. The dirt road
might In most cases sutllce for the
wheelmen, but In case there was any
unusual demand for Increased space
for bicycle riders, Dr. Kane would rec
ommend that on the outside of the
dirt road there should be a specially
constructed bicycle path. This plan
of having a complete road, the horse
man thinks, would give every class of
road users the kind of a road It needs,
ami would Insure harmony among nil
road users. He says that the members
of the h. A. W. are strong enough gen
erally to get what they wish, and In
some sections the farmers prevail and
they get what they wish. The riders
nnd fast drivers, he says, have never
made much united effort to get what
they want, but he believes the time' Is
coming when such action will be nec
essary for the preservation of valuable
horseflesh. He contends thnt the pro
posed plan would enable the farmers,
the wheelmen, the drivers nnd riders,
as well as the automobile men to work
together for a composite road centre
stone, eight feet on each side dirt, and
bicycle paths on the on.'" ' New
York Sun.
Convlcta and (1ool Itoada.
The agitation of the League of
American Wheelmen to have convicts
used in building public roads Is slow
ly making headway. On this subject
tire New York Post receutly contained
the following:
"The League for (iood Itonds.lu Onei
da County, reports favorably on the
experiment of employing convicts on
road-making. I'nder the direction of
the Hoard of Supervisors and the su
perintendence of a trained engineer,
the county prisoners have constructed
a macadam road, one and three-tenths
miles long, through the village of New
York Mills, near I'tlca. The county
authorities made a contract with the
road district, whereby it was to fur
nish laborers at twenty-live cents a
day. and allow (he use of its stone
crusher, steam-roller, etc., free of
charge. The road district furnished
the necessary fuel nud material, nnd
paid for supervision. The cost of the
road was about $,"S7.-, or ?4."iisi a mile,
nnd the total cost was only throe times
the amount of the annual road tax.
As It will cost only $:;."i a year to
keep the new road in repair, the au
nual saving will amount to about
$lH.1(i, nnd after the cost has Imtii re
paid the taxpayers will be delleved
to this extent, or the money can be
devoted to other Improvements. While
this road was building Hie State au
thorities were constructing a similar
one of equal length, which was to
cost, at the contract price, S'.hjihi."
Appreciated In Winter,
(iood roads will be appreciated lu
the winter. At this season all may
be well, but when the roads nre mud
dy the time lost in hauling but a few
loads will be much greater In value
than the amount of taxes necessary to
make good roads. This fact become
painfully apparent when the farmei
must use four horses to draw only half
il ton over roads that could be put in
such condition as to permit ot a heavy
wagon and a toil load to be drawn
by two horses. .

Ditira with a Pharisee.
1. "Chief of Pharisees." It hns been
suggested that tins man may have been a
member of the Snnheilrin, with a country
h.iine in Perea. "To cat bread." Our
Lord had no home ami, when He was in
vited to dine it was as proper for Hun to
go on the Sabbath as on any other day.
Although there seems to have been sev
eral persona invited to tins dinner, yet
this afforiU no justification to visiting or
making dinner parties on the Suhbatli.
"They were watching llim." (K. V.)
Were maliciouslv watching Him. Tho
Pharisee, while lie prol'cKscd friendship,
hail invited Jesus to his table for the
purpose ot finding an opoortumty to ac
cuse Him ami take away His liie.
2. "A certain man before Hun." The
man had probably been brought there and
plaeei. in the company by the Pharisee in
order to test Christ.
3. "And Jesus answering spake. " He
knew they were deceptive, ami 1 1 u wna
ready for them. "The lawyers." The
teachers of the law who were present.
"Is it lawful," etc. They are in a dilem
ma; as lawyers, they ought to know, but
if they answered in the nllirinativo they
would endorse Christ iind His work, while
to answer in the negative would be to
show their lack of love and lay .hcniselves
liable to a change miinlur to that given in
chapter lit: 15.
4. "They held their peace." The Pliari.
sees taxed the conscience of the people
with puerile questions, such as whether it
was lawful to cat an egg on the Sabbath,
or of what material the wick of the Sab
bath lamp should be made, but thev did
nut forbid this miracle, which they sliould
1iave dune had it been wrong; they were,
therefore, forced to silence. "Took him.'
Laid His hands on him. "Let him go."
He sent him away.
5. "Fallen into a pit." Jesus silences
them completely by calling attention to
the fact that they on the Sabbath day
would have mercy on a beast in distress,
and shall not He on the Sabbath day de
liver this suffering man. ltvad Matt. 12:
10-13; Luke 13: 14 17.
0. "Could not answer ITim." Pilent, but
not convinced; obstinacy and spiritual
pride sealed their minds against the force
of His reasoning.
7. "A parable." Showing the impor
tance of humility. "When He marked."
Nothing escape the eye of the Irfird.
"How they chose out." To take tho high
est place when it ia not our due is public
vanity; to obstinately refuse it wheu of
fered, ia another instance of the same
vice, though private and concealed. Hu
mility takes aa much care to avoid the os
tentation of an affected refusal as the open
seeking of a superior place. "The chief
rooms. The chief aeata. (H. V.)
8. "Hidden to a wedding." He speaks
of a "marriage feast" (H. V.) liecause the
"rules of procedure would bo more care
fully insisted upon." "Sit not down."
The pride thut apes humility violate the
spirit of this teaching. There should bo
genuine self -abasement. It ought to cheek
our high thoughts of ourselves to think
how many there are that are more honor
able than we.
!. "He that bade." The host who has
authority to decide the matter. "With
Inline." Sooner or later pride will have
a fall. Tho man who humbles himself
merely liecause he is forced to do go loses
the rcsiiect of both (Jod and man.
10. "in the lowest room." "The lowest
place." (H. V.) "(Jo up higher." The
way to rise high i to begin low. No
shame attache to the one who take a low
Iilace. What Christ commanded others
le Himself did. He humbled Himself in
ilis birth, in His life and in Ilia death.
"Tlain slialt thou have worship." Have
fllory. (It. V.) Tin person will receive
lonor in the presence of the company.
11. "For every one that exalteth him
self shall he humbled." (K. V.) The one
who is proud and seeks to lie honored
above otficrs, shall be abased, or humbled,
both by liod nnd man. "lie that hum
blcth himself." It is better to humble
ourselves, for if we do not Cod will hum
ble us, "Shall be exalted." liod will
honor and give glory to the truly humble
in heart.-
12. "Call not thy friends." The second
parable is to the host. It is a sharp re
buke on account of a fault which is al
most always committed in the choice of
guests. Our Lord certainly docs not mean
that a man shall not entertain his friends,
but what He inculcates here is charity to
the poor, and what He condemn Is tlinse
entertainment which are given to the
rich, cither to flatter them or to procure
a similar return. "Nor thy rich neigh
bors." "He that giveth to the rich shall
surely come to want." Prov. '.".' 111. "(iive
to thy friends, but let it be to thy pom'
friends, not to those who need thee not."
13. "('all the poor." l-'easts to the poor
are not fin hidden. He that giveth to the
poor lemlcth to the Lord. "What t lie
Saviour here commends to others He tins
Himself fulfilled in the most illustrious
manner. To the feast in t lie kingdom of
(bid He 1 : invited the poor, the blind,
etc., in tho spiritual sense of the words."
14. "Thou shnlt he blessed." The poor
who have been fed will bless thee, and ao
will the Uird. You will be conscious of
having acted unselfishly. "Thev cannot
recompense thee." Therefore tlod will
consider 'Himself your debtor. Clarke.
"The resurrection of the jmt." There ia
to bo a future state; we are all hastening
on toward tho resurrection. At that time
liod will reward those who have done
good, for Ilia sake, without the hope of
any earthly recompense.

HAS SURPRISED PARIS.
At the gay French capital, which'
during the exposition II even mora
productive of novelties and big event
In society than In an ordinary year,
a sensation Is being created by the
magnificent entertainments provided
by an Amerlran couple, Mr. and Mra.
Thomas F. Walsh. One week It la a'
magnificent entertainment on one of
the Seine river boats, the next some
grand excursion for the American
polony In Paris, or a gorgeous feast;
a week or two ago it waa a dinner
party at Ilelglura, wnere the Walshes
sat next tbe king, and after that a
unique trip In a sumptuous special
train of five pnlace cars. In ahort, the
society of the French capital has no
greater lion than Tom Walsh. That
the Walshes are not endeavoring sim
ply to get Into society by their lavish
expenditures Is evidenced by the fact
that no particular class of society at
tends. All high and low and be
tween are made to feel welcome, and
In doing the honors, Tom Walsh de
rives his chief pleasure.
Mr. Walsh Is Immensely wealthy.
His success can hardly be attributable
to lurk, but rather to his own bard
work and enterprise. He has never
had any sympathy with Idleness, bar
lug continually recognized the dignity
and deserts of honest labor. He was
born In Tipperary, Ireland, In 1861,
where, after receiving a fair educa
tion, he worked for several years aa
a millwright. He came to America
and settled In 187C at Worcester,
Mass., for a few years. Then he went
to Colorado, and was a carpenter and
building contractor at the new camp
of Central City. Ha had always been
Interested In mlnln;, and from thJs
time on he began to study up the
subject during his spare . time. lie
was fortunate, and eventually struck
It rich. Now he is owner of a mine
which he refused to Bell a short time
since, for S35.C00.000. His Income la
approximated nt $100,000 a month.
Tho friends of his poorer days are
not neglected now that wealth haa
come to Mr. Walsh and his charity
and friendly loans or gifts are
known to many of his old associates.
Mrs. Walsh's health failed three
years ago, and she was advised to try(
a lower altitude. It was then that he
concluded to go to Washington, wher
he purchased a most luxurious home.'
Ever since the public has made Itself;
free therein. Mr. Walsh has not
"functions," nor "events," nor "sol
rues," nor "p(nk teas." He hates for
mullty of any kind. It Is this demo
cratic way ot doing things that baa .
surprised the Purisian world. They
open their French eyes with astonish-
