PAINTED FURNITURE AGAIN.
Reappearance of an Old Style Thai
Popular Thirty Years
Abo.
The painted furniture formerly de
scribed, as "cottage sets1' passed out
ef style more than a wore of years
ago. It was always looked upon as a
rafrher economical and modest substi
tute for the black walnut carved set.
CT, .even the more costly rosewood,
which was in those days the last word
In modish and" expensive furniture,
Bays the Xew York Sun. The "cot
tage furniture" could be of cheaper
wood, because the thicK paint covered
up all trace of its quality.
Gloomy grays, dull greens and
Steely blues were the tints most ad
mired in this old-fashioned furniture.
The backgrounds were relieved by
crudely painted bunches of flowers,
which ornamented if anything so in
trinsically hideous could be said to
bave that effect anywhere the head
and foot of the beds and were applied
In more diminutive form to the bu
reaus and other pieces in the "set."
Cottage furniture was always sold in
l set.
It was very cordially despised, after
taste turned toward the antique wood
en furniture, brass beds and all the
Similar improvements that came dur
ing the past score of years. The cot
tage sets were relegated to country
residences, servants' rooms aid other
Inconspicuous places. Since that time
paintedi furniture has not been seen
until the white enameled chests of
drawers and other wooden pieces be
gan to be seen. Now tftere are signs
that the days of painted furniture
may return, although it is not like
ly that the taste for it will ever be
strong enough to recover the slight
est favor for the cottage sets.
Tainted furniture of the day is
very much more artistic and elaborate
than, its predecessor ever was. It is
as expensive, too. as nearly any other
kind, and would never De bought for
economy. TThite is the most popular
color for a background. It is decor
ated with sprays of flowers, veryartis
tically and charmingly disposed and
painted, indeed, with all the excel
lences that the most modern and best
trained artists can give them. There
Is as much difference between them
and the old painted pieces as there is
between a crude chromo and a deli
cate water color.
Probably this same degree of dif
ference exists between all articles
popular for household diecoration 30
years ago and to-day. The old-fashioned
cottage furniture seems to have
disappeared' altogether and never
likely to reappear in any form. I!ut
its direct descendant, very much bet
tered and undoubtedly made much
more expensive, is offered to-day by
the large furniture establishments as
one of their latest and smartest
tyles.
THE USE OF COLOR.
Good Taete In This Respert la an In
dication of Urnnine Refinement.
Xot everyone is gifted with artistic
taste in the use of color in dress o
in household decoration, but everyone
can. study these matters and arrange
their surroundings so that they may
not offend, the cultivated eye. It does
not require wealth to do this, sa;s the
Xew York Tribune. On the contrary,
the possession of wealth and the love
of display do more to create hideous
dresses and hideous houses than
squalid poverty. Nature throws a cer
tain veil of beauty in a tracery of green
vines, even in the humble weeds that
grow up to shield' the neglected house
from the brazen glare of publicity.
The poorest maiden who by force of
poverty is compelled to wear simple
dresses is far less likely to offend the
laws of good taste in the use of color
than the aspiring but ignorant girl
with ample means, who loads down
her person with showy, expensive
finery. These latter are the women
who offend glaringly in the use of
color. The plain working gown of
many a woman is picturesque, while
her "best dress" is utterly absurd,
such as no artist could put in a picture.
Many an artist in search of the pic
turesque has found it almost impos
sible to get a model who had not been
accustomed to posing to pose in her
simple dress. On all occasions they re
fused to undergo the indignity of be
ing painted in anything but a "best
dress," as absurd as it was showy.
The idea seems to be ingrained in the
average ignorant woman that an at
tempt, however absurd and foolisuTte
dress beyond her means confers digni
ty. A woman shows her genuine re
finement, on the contrary, by dressing

And then we'Jl give 'em the merry ha-ha.
Won't we. Stubby? Now. let's see:
Where d.es this nightie unbutton in the back?

You ain't very big. but you're goin' to be.
And they mizht jes' well be lettir.' you practice

Now the other arm.
Whoop! There she comes!
Now. what's this? Some kind of a shirt?

Or does this come off now?
Have you got a substitute shirt for daytimet
Guess we'll take her off on a venture.
Here, take your hand out of your mouth!
Stick up that arm so, tkere!
There we are! Gee. what a back!
You're a vest-pocket Sandow. that's what you

You're all right. Stubby! You keep that shape
For -0 years and the world is yours.

Other arm. now no. not your foot your haiat.

These women folks don't use sense, do they?

Hind side fore well, what's the diff?
Stand up now while I give 'em a twist;
All hands round, promenade to seats;
There your are, my son!

That can beat that job of skirt hanging.
Now will you kindly cease wigslin"
While I match these buttons to buttonholes?
Big button in a broad buttonhole.
Little button in a little buttonhole.
And here's a button left over with no button,
huie.
Now where does that button go?
Open your mouth and stick out your tongue;
1-c'me see if you swallowed that buttonhole.
There, there. Stubby; Wop's only jokin'.
We got buttonholes to burn.
Now what do we dj with that strap, do you
Know .
If you do, you car.'t tell, can you?
I'll tell you what I think. Stubby:
I think that strap's a superfluity;
It's too short to go round your stomach
And it's too long to go round your neck;
I guess we pass up the strap.
What's the sense havln' useless things
In a helpless infant's wardrobe?
Now your dress. Ah. this is dead easy!
There's onlv one way this can go on
Over the baby's head. I'ei-k-a-b"o!
Ah! seven more buttons. This is a good thing!
I m glad this dress covers up all the other
things
Mamma can't see what we didn't do.
Two stockings and two shoes next, eh?
Stick out yo;:r loot.
Aw. juit bendin' your knee that way!
Stick it out straight; hoid her there now;
Never mind little pig went to market
That's all right when you're goin' to bed.
But this is a matter of business.
Will yju hold out that toot, or won't you'
Don't put it in your mouth stick it out!
Now hold still.
Ho-old still, now one. two, three.
Heel on top, but I guess that'll do;
I ain't goin' through all that again.
Not for all the boys in the Thirty-second ward.
Hark! Hear that bell. Stub?

Is there any right an' left to these shoes?
Try this one. anyway. Hurry up now.
I'm gettin' hungry. You got to sit still now
An' let me finish this job right now
Or I'll begin to get huffy at you.
I can stand a good deal without kickin.
But you ought to have a little bit o' sense.
Grinnin' like an ape there .juit it now!
Stick them red toes into that shoe, quick!
You think this is a good joke, don't you?
Well, it ain't.
I want it understood
I ain't no nurse girl, not on your life.

RECENT FIGHTING AROUND TIEN TSIN
THE LOBSTER AS A FENCER.
Surprising Agility of the Larger Oner
In vadlOK the Caff of
the 'Heater.
That fencing is a pastime among
lobsters I have no doubt, from some
little experiences I have bad with
them, says a writer in Contemporary
Review. Once. I found a lobster near
low water in a pool some nine feet
long by six wide, having a rough bot
tom and eight or ten inches of water
on it with a cavern at each end. Al
though I was armed with a crab-crock
or iron gaff about three feet long, the
extreme darting and fencing of the
lobster were too much for me to grap
ple with. When in the deeper cavern
I found it could see me through the
water as plainly as I could see it; sc
that here the better constructed eyes
of the genus homo had no advantage
over the rough hard stalk eyes of the
crustacean; and as I could not get
to gaff across it. every effort I made
was evaded: at last, however, by mere
vigorous and energetic gaffing I made
the cavern so uncomfortable for the
lobster that like a lightning flash it dart
ed between my legs and into the lessei
cavern. Here the same game went on
and with like results; for in a moment
he was again between my legs and
back into his old haunt. Finally be
coming tired of gaffing and missinq
(for its fencing was perfect and could
not have been achieved without long
practice) I declined to be beaten by
a mere crustacean and proceeded tc
bail out the pool. It was only by this
effort that. I eventually conquered it
And here I must confess that through
the battle so deft, crafty and subtle
were its actions that it was like fight
ing a being endowed with human in
telligence. I have further proof that they man
ifest a martial spirit in the sea whet
hunting for food. It is nothing un
common for fishermen, when drawing
tip their traps in the morning, to find
the large claw of another lobster in
the pot beside the prisoner: and there
have been instances when three large
claws have been found together under
the above conditions, and a lobstei

that in a recent fight the victor had
lost one. ar.d the vanquished both his
arms. But these are only trifles com
pared with what the late Sir Isaac
Coffin saw on the coast of Xova Sco
tia, for it is given on hi authority
that he once witnessed a terrible bat

The Allied Force Saved From Defeat by

Through the Timely Intervention of a

OB the Maak.
London. July 11, 4:13 a. m. "Xo au
thentic news from Pekin" is still the
burden of the dispatches frot.t the far
east, and although the disposition is
to believe the optimistic reports from
Chiuese sources, no real confidence is
possible until the legations, if they are
Btill in existence, are permitted to
communicate with their governments.
If. as is alleged, the Boxer movement
is losing ground in I'ekin. it might
have been supposed that the Boxers
would have endeavored to send up re
inforcements from Tien Tsin, but, in
stead of that they are still in great
force in the neighborhood of the lattei
place, and are assisted by the imperial
Chinese troops with ample efficient ar
tillery.
Severest Flahtlnir Yet.
According to a special Che Foo dis
patch the fighting around Tien Tsin
on the 3d and 4th was severest yet
experienced. The British losses alone
were 30 killed or wounded. The
Chinese had 75.000 men, attacking sim
ultaneously from the west, north and
east, and made excellent practice with
over one hundred guns. The defend
ers numbered 14,000, with scant sup
plies, and it was only the presence of
the newly-arrived Japanese and Rus
sian guns that prevented a disaster.
One Russian company of infantry,
numliering 1-0 men had 115 killed or
wounded. The German contingent
also suffered heavilv. Bv the evening
of the 4th the situation was very
critical. The allies narrowly escaped
total defeat.
Saved by a Torrential Itala.
Providentially, when things were at
their worst a torrential rainfall com
pelled the Chinese to retire.
On July 6, the rain having abated.
the Chinese renewetl the attack, open
ing fire on Tien Tsin with two bat
teries of four-inch guns, but the allies,
aided by two of II. M. S. Terrible's 4.7
guns, succerded in silencing the
Chinese artillery after eight hours of
fight.
An Omlnona Dliterepaaey.
At Shanghai it seems now to be the
general lelief that the date of the
dispatch of July 3. asserting that two
legations were still standing, was an
error, either accidental or intentional.
The couriers mnst have left Pekin at
least five days earlier, making the real
date of the message June 28, while the
alleged massacres are said to have oc
curred on June 30. Until this point
can be cleared up the greatest anxiety
will be felt as to the fate of the Euro
peans.
Prince Tuan Thrown Oft the Maak.
According to the Shanghai corre
spondent of the Express it is war to
the knife between the dowager em
press and Prince Tuan. In a recent
edict the latter lioldly discards his
mask and signs himself as emperor,
lie warmly commends the prowess of
"his faithful Boxers." and in flowery
language appeals to their cupidity anil
fanaticism. In the same decree Prince
Tuan appoints Prince Tzuan. the "Iron
Capped" Prince Tsaishan. his imperial
clansman, and Kang Yi to command
the three chief wings of the Boxer
army.
Destitute Earopcan Helnicee.
Three hundred Euroean refugees
from Tien Tsin have arrived at Shang
hai in a state" of destitution after ter
rible suffering.
The Chinese version of the origin of
the outbreak as published in Shang
hai is that Baron Yon Ketteler was
hated by the Pekinese, who, taking ad
vantage of the condition of af
fairs, shot him out of revenge, there
by causing "a conflict between tha
Chinese troops and the Germans, the
latter of whom destroyed the tsung-Ii-ya

Will Bombard the Native City.
The Daily Xews" Tien Tsin corre
spondent says the allies have decided
to bombard the native city, which they
have hitherto hesitated to attack, ow
ing to the heavy commercial interests
involved.
Secretary llays Circular.
The London daily papers comment
favorably upon Secretary of State
Hay's circular. The Times says:
"It will meet with general approba
tion and welcome in Great Britain.
While it is manifestly dictated by re
gard for American interests, it coin
cides closely in almost all important
respects with England's avowed policy.
The reason is simple. In China the in
terests of both countries are primarily
commercial, and it is from their com
mercial relations that their principal
interests ere derived. Secretary Hay
bears this fundamental fact steadily
in mind."
