An Attractive Feature of the Mori- rrn Dwelling. In the furnishing of modern borne tho hall constitute one of the most serious problems, but there in one consolation. If one solves it success fully the hall becomes one of the most attractive features of the entire bouse. It then ceases to be a mere passage wav, and beooraes n veritable room. and one which, strangely enough, will be more generally used than almost any other in the bonso. In the con ventional city dwelling, when the hall is long, narrow and dark, with a high AtttHt ret 14 4.X FKRTSCTfVI! VtltW. coiling nnd a flight of stairs that makes an unbroken sweet) to the floor above, very little can be done to give true nrtiHtio ellect. If the front door sof solid paneled wood a great im provement will result from replacing the tipper panels with glass. Thin can akn the form of a sash of small leaded panes in fnnotfnl design, or a single Bheet of plate glass, protected by a neat iron grill. Ino tnistiiko ulioul l never be made of using colored glass nuless one can alford it masterpiece of genuine stained glass, for tho ordinary so-called "cathedral" glass is crude in colors, and an abomination. The hall stand or lint ruck, which is of ten found juat within the front door, nhotild be banished to some rear corner, if it is to bo tolerated at nil, where it will ttot bo so much in evi dence. These racks become "catch alls," and old coats, hats, umbrellas nnd canes aro not at all ornamental. In place of these conveniences a broad ball chair, of formal design, or better still a mahogany settee, will serve every purpose. These should be re served for the use of onsnul callers. If there aro no convenient closets that can be made for the garments of the members of the household, a neat clothes trea such as are imitated from the antique, will prove a great ileal more sightly than the hall rnoks that are made nowadays. It takes np but little room and can iind a plnce in some rear corner. BALL AND RTAIKCASB. Under the best of conditions the hall will bo nono too light, nnd this fact should be borne in mind in ohoosing wall paper nnd carpi t. I he furnish ings should bo in light warm tones, and only the most formal designs are permissible. Few people seem to realize tue cllectiveness of pictures in the ball. It is customary to hang one or two large frames on the side walla, nnd allow the long stretch above the stairs to go uncovered. In the latter place pictures are needed, if anywhere in the bouse, for there is no other way in which tho vast wall spaoo can bo broken. All of this has reference to the fit ting and f urniahing of the ordinary city hall. In the villa house the architect gen erally plans a square hall that has all the effucts of an ordinary room, mere may be windows on the side, nn open flrnplaoe, and plenty of contrivances that lend themsolves to decorative effect. Here tbe treatment should be the same as in any other room, with this restriction. The purpose of the hall must never be forgotten. Easy chairs and sofas Will not be out of place if they do not detract from tbe formal character, or do not obstruct free passage. There should never be a profusion of ornaments or brio-a-brao. In a general way tbe hints as to the city ball apply equally well to one in tho suburbs. A hall chair, or settee should be placed in close proximity to the entrance door, and tbe nttinga of the walls and ceilings should be in tho light, warm tones. Tbe design illustrating this article lends itself readily to a most beauti- TutsT raoon, fully artistio treatment ; the hall is a host in Itself. Its ceiling is paueled to represent open timber work, aud tbe walls fluisbed in hard white pias ter, with waiuscoatiug four feet high from tho floor, above which is tinned with formal design planted on in '3 J stucco work, representing the floar-de lis of Frnnoe. The residence ia sixty-two feet wide. by seventy-eight feet in depth, the first story being ten feet six lnohes in BFCONO FTOon, height. The arrangement and size ot rooms is shown by the floor plans. The sum of $8100 will build the design, not including the cost of mantels ranges, aud heating apparatus. Copyright 18'J7. A Slrntis; Snnfcc Story. The latest snake story comes from South Africa. It is recordod in th Transvaal, pnliltHhod in Cape Town, as cold fact, thnt in Kckukintland a native run across a lion constrictor measuring about forty-soven feet, which bad just swallowed a young koodoo buck, all except the horns. The boms stuck out on each side of. the reptile's mouth. The native rec ognized the horns as those ot a buck he owned, and ho ran nnd got sticks and pinned the serpent, which was dormant, to the ground. Then ho got hold of the horns and pulled and twiited. He got the Intel; ont inch by neb, nutil half its body showed, and then it came with a jerk, nnd the boy fell over on bis bsck. lielore he bad time to think twice the snake, re lieved of his load ot mutton, wns upon him, and it seized his head in its mouth and in three ininnles the na tive had taken the plnce of tho buck, only ho wns all inside ; there was nothing left out to pull on, even if a rescuer bad come along. Having swallowed the boy the boa deliberately swung its bead around and grabbing; its tail swallowed eight feet of it, then closing the month nnd throat down which the native bad disappeared, nd making escnpo almost impossible. Tho Tranfevanl vouches for tho truth of tho story. London Times. I'.NCI.E NAM'S OKHJINAL AT II RE.

In tho first place, say theso authorities, he nhotild wear a high hitl, slightly bell crowned and of felted fur. His shirt should be portrayed with a rilled bosom projecting out, pouter fashion, nn I generally with a breastpin in it. Ills sunt collar should be high and connected with bis shirt. His cravat should be wide and tied ith a "pudding," as it was termed in former times. The waistcoat should be a buff, single breasted affair, with gold or gilt buttons. The swallow. tailed coat should be made with high rolling collar and high pointed lapels. The greatest difference betweeu Uncle Sam as he is and as he should be lies in the pantaloons. They should be made with a "trap door" in front 1 and fitted below the knee for tbe wear ing of the boots outside. Those boots should have tassels in front. Colored shirts were unknown nntil about 182U. Striped pantaloons are ot a compara tively late date, and straps under the boots were not known nntil 1825. They were a part of the pantaloons and were fasteuod on the boot in front and buttoned nuder it, Uoatees were not worn until late in tbe 30V.
