In furnishing her room a girl should bear in mind that quality, not quanti ty, Is the keynote to beauty. She should decide on a color scheme and stick to it, or, if she departs slightly from it, let hix* go in the right direc tion und choose a color which corre sponds well with the main color scheme. In the first place, she shonld avoid too many personal photographs, half a dozen of her dearest friends' photos and no more. Her room should contain ut least one picture beautiful enough to raise her to a higher plane whenever her eyes fall upon it. She should be cautious in dealing with bric-a-brac and gewgaws. Simplicity of hue and'butline should be her main idea, striving rather to have a few good things than a great inuny inferior ones. Pull Up the Shnde. The habit of keeping the window shades down, which is so common a practice even when there is no direct sun glare on the window, is a direct setting at naught of physiological prin ciples, which teach us the importance to health of both body and mind of ail abundance of light. All properly or ganized men and women love the light, und it Is not merely to children that darkness brings with it a sense of pow erlessness, danger and alarm. Essen tial for all the purposes of life, for the supply of oxygen on which existence depends, light is u universal stimulus. Don't Iron Them. The most advuneed housekeepers no longer Jxon sheets, ribbed underwear, stockings or towels, unless the latter be very fine damask. The towels and sheets are folded neatly while still rather damp; small pieces and stock ings are placed on top of the pile. An old sheet is spread on a tuble under the pieces and folded over the pile. A large board and a heavy weight are placed over all and left until the next morning. Kitchen UtennilN. Kitchen utensils which have become burned and blackened may be easily cleaned by putting in the clothes boiler and boiling with potash and a bit of some washing powder. When they have boiled for a little while (fifteen or twenty minutes), they can be taken out and washed in clear water, when they will be found to be bright and fresh. Milk on Wool. Pulverized French chalk left for sev eral hours over a blemish made by milk on a wool fabric will usually re store the cloth to its original color. If the stain is not a stubborn one it will yield to a sponging in diluted alcohol.

InterPHtinß Account From an Old I'hiludclphla Daily Newspaper. There was a dally newspaper In 1703. It was published in Philadelphia, where the first daily newspaper appeared. It was originally the Philadelphia Packet and General Advertiser, issued as a weekly, and a complete file of it Is stowed away on the shelves of the Congressional library at Washington. The Packet exists today as the Phila delphia North American. The first issue of the Packet as a weekly appeared Oct 28, 1771. Afterward it became a triweekly and on Sept. 21, 1784, a dally. Associated with Jolfti Dunlap in its publication was David C. Clay poole. Dunlap is said to have been the first man to have printed the Declara tion of Independence. So it is appro priate, says the New York Commercial Advertiser, that we should take an ac count of the celebration of Independ ence day a hundred years ago from the files of his paper, then known as Dunlap's American Daily Advertiser. Dunlap did not respect the Fourth of July, as some of the newspaper pro prietors of today do, by declaring a holiday for his employees and getting out no paper. On the contrary, he im proved the day by publishing in a pa triotic spirit the text of the Declaration of Independence, with an editorial in troduction which indicates that Liberty was not so fully established on her pedestal as she might have been. He says: "At a time when some of our citizens are disposed to view monarchical power with different eyes from those with which they viewed it in 1770 we hope it will not be amiss to remind them of the principles and feelings of the citi zens of the United States in that mem orable year by republishing the Dec laration of Independence on the anni versary of the day which gave birth to the freedom of our country and which wo hope will continue to furnish a precedent for deposing tyrants in ev ery part of the world." Then follows the Declaration in full, with some little variations in punctua tion, spelling and general style which would appear inelegant today. But we have reformed our language a good deal in a century. There is one little news paragraph about the observance of the day in the issue of the Fourth. There was no tele graph in those days and no steam rail road, and news came in by carrier slowly. So there is no reference to the plans for celebration in other cities, and under the head of "Philadelphia, July 4," there is only a short para graph telling that the firing of the morning gun at daybreak had an nounced the birthday of American in dependence and that fifteen guns would be fired at noon and fifteen at two different periods afterward. Most of the public places of entertainment, it was stated, would bo "open for the reception of company" and the even ing would be closed with a grand dis play of fireworks. "Thus," says Mr. Dunlap, "Philadelphia will exhibit per haps the most splendid scene of any part of the continent on this joyful in troduction of the eighteenth year of glorious liberty." The reason for firing a salute of fif teen guns was that in 1792 Vermont and Kentucky had been admitted to the Union, increasing the number of states from the original thirteen to fifteen. In the issue of the paper for the sth of July is an account of the local cele bration. It was not complete. Little scraps of this story were published from day to day for nearly a week, and the arrival of from New York furnished additional news, so that the story of the celebration was not cleaned up in a few hours, as it would be today, but was scattered over two good weeks. INAUDIBLE FIRECRACKERS. A Plea For the Once Worthy Fourth of July Feature. Something ought to be done to re habilitate the Fourth of July celebra tion, especially its firecracker depart ment. The celebration of the present day is but a pale reflection and a far off echo of the glorious triumph of the past, and the sickly, petulant pop of the contemporary firecracker bears but sorry comparison with the detonation of its predecessor of a few years back. It is sad to see a national institution thus going to the dogs. But the dogs need not worry—it no longer frightens them as in times past it did. These lutter day inaudible firecrack ers are frauds, cheating the small boy out of his hard saved dime. And as to the tail of the lion, what is it for? It is an ornamental rather than an es sential appendage, and a gentle little twist, with a bit of a knot or two just for remembrance, lest lie forget, can do no harm and is sure to awaken en thusiasm on the rear benches. Give us back our old celebration! And in the matter of the firecrackers there should be legislation. The mak ers must be compelled by law to use better powder and more of it.—New York Evening Post. The Ilanner of Dawn. And wherever our flag conies and men behold it they see in its sacred emblazonry no rampant lion and no fierce eagle, no embattled castles or In signia of imperial authority; they see the symbols of light, it Is the banner of dawn.—Henry Ward Beecher.

They give their military services for fifteen years, in return for which they pay no taxes. Every year nearly 1.000.000 Russians become liable for service, but of these only 270,01K) enter the active army, the remainder being passed direct into the militia for twenty-two years. In the matter of equipment the Rus llan army is up to date in every par ticular. It has a special balloon de partment, cyclist corps—even dogs are pressed into the service of the great white czar. The czar of Russia commands the greatest armed force in the world. His army consists of 1,555 battalions of in fantry, 1,253 squadrons of cavalry and 3,778 cannon. Every nationality over land from Europe to China is represent ed in tills composite army. Each man in the cyclist corps carries a certain amount of luggage on his bi cycle, consisting of a copper drinking cup and cooking vessel, a small canteen and the same amount of ammunition as an ordinary infantryman. The cav alry carry leather or skin sacks, which. Inflated, serve as floats for both man and horse when crossing rivers. HORSES AND HORSEMEN.

FACTS FROM FRANCE. In Paris n youth attempted, to kill his father in order that as a widow's son he might escape conscription. According to the census taken by the prefecture of the Seine, there are at present in Paris 41,350 Italians, 42,000 Belgians and 32,500 Germans. Fashionable dogs in I'aris, which for some time have worn overcoats with pockets for their little handkerchiefs, are now provided with goggles for their eyes when taken motoring. Five Paris policemen have passed their examination as motor car driv ers. They will shortly be put on duty with fast cars so that they can over take and, If necessary, arrest any oth er drivers of such vehicles traveling at excessive speed.

This beautiful atmospheric phenome non, which takes its name from one of the fairies of mediaeval legend and is specially prevalent at the strait of Messina, between Italy and Sicily, has lately been critically studied by Dr. Boccara of the technical college nt Reggio. lie has seen the apparitions under three different forms—aerial, marine and multiple. In the first case buildings on the Italian coast were seen projected on the Sicilian coast be yond. In the second case arches on a railway above Messina were visible, magnified and more brilliant than the real arches, standing below the sea line with no apparent support. In the multiple Morgana aerial and marine apparitions are visible simultaneously. All these appearances are ascribed to variations in atmospheric density, pro ducing abnormal refraction.
