A Young Woman of Observation Speaks I Color Scheme For Rooms. "I havo been helping an old school chnmbto refurnish her house," said a young woman of observation, "and I havo learned moro about color ef fects in ono week than I ever knew before. You see, houses are not painted or papered as they used to bo, on tho old, simplo plan of 'that will look well bore, and 'such a pat tern will bo all right there,' but ac cording to scttlod laws, canons and rules. It's mito a scientific matter now, I assuro you. " Yollows, for instance, aro all right for a hall or vestibulo, but thoy must not bo usod in any room in which ono rests or reads or works. Why? Becauso yellows do not absorb any light, but aro strong reflectors, and tho reflected rays of light are not only trying to tho eyes, but positive ly affect tho brain and tho spirits, creating a distinct disturbance of the nervous centers. So the modern scientific decorator, at any rate, tells us, and wo believo him. "On tho other hand, buffs and creams aro recommended for the nursery and children's sleeping rooms becauso of their tonio quali ties. They aro better than whito, which is apt to disturb the young op tic nerves by its brilliancy, and are calculated to impart a cheerful but not too boistorous temperament as well as a good complexion to tho youngsters. "For tho library or workroom thero is no color like coffee. Coffee, in fact, is tho most soothing thing in tho color world, it seems. It in duces a pleasant nirvana feeling, such as nothing else does. It con duces to habits of speculative thought. It produces a philosophical calm, and it i3 eminently successful as a mild incentive to literary efforts, Indeed thoro seems to be some deli cato and abstruse connection be tween coffee as a beverage and coffee as a color for domestio decoration. I suggested something of this sort to tho handsome and interesting young artist who was superintending the decoration, and he condescended to agrco with me. "I havo learned one really impor tant fact about colors, however. I used to imagine that there was no color so cool as whito, but I havo been taught that, to tho contrary, the coolest of all colors is red not tho flaring, glaring red, but the dull Pompeiian red and terracotta. These are cool becauso of their peculiarly absorbent qualities. It is almost im possible to light or warm them, and I had today a most convincing ob ject lesson of this fact thatwhilo tlo cool whito room of tho Words woV4iian poem is all very nico to read MxHit, and does at first sight impres ono as being such, it does not begin 10 cnesa with ono in dull red. A visit to the two rooms had just tho same cooling effect on mo that is produced by passing from sunshine into-shadow. Of course you know I am speaking all tho timo of interior decoration, although I am not sure whether a terra cotta town would not bo con siderably cooler than a whitewashed ono. "So you sco tho old Pompeiians wcro right when thoy coolod off thoir atria and patios by painting tho town red. Tho only other color which ap proaches Pompeiian red for cool ness, so tho elegant and artistic young workman told mo, is dark green, but it has been found to have so depressing a mental effect on most pooplo that it is very sparingly used. Then I was told lots about mass ef fects, distance shadows and length lines, and I don't know what else, but qui to enough to convince me that tho decoration of our house in teriors is conducted upon a plane so lofty that it is impossible to say whether it is an artistio science or a scientific art." New York Sun. A Historic Elm Shoot. Say 3 tho Philadelphia Record: "A direct descendant of the old elm tree which cast its shadows over William Penn and the Indian chiefs during tho famous session when the Penn treaty was drawn up has been plant ed by Chief Eisenhower of the bu voaxi of city property directly on the spot which tho old tree is supposed to havo occupied. The old treaty elm stood on the Vandusen estate, which has sinco been formed into Penn Treaty park, and shoots from ured by tho Vandusen family. This particular shoot was donated by Paul A. Oliver of Oliver's mills, Luzerne county, who came into its possession through marriage into the Vandusen family. Tho shoot is healthy, and is expected to thrive in its appropriate situation." Lincoln on His Re-election. Commenting on the result of the election of tho day before, Lincoln said, with great solomnity : "I should bo tho veriest shallow and self con ceited blockhoad upon tho footstool If, in in y dischargoof the duties that aro put upon me in this placo,I should hopo to get along without the wis dom that comos from God and not from mtn." Noah Brooks in Century. NAPOLEON'S INSUBORDINATION. lie Contemptuously Swept Aside the Flans of the Directory. When the news of tho successes in Piedmont reached Paris, public fes tivals were decreed nnd celebrated, but tho democratic spirit of tho di rectors could brook neither the con temptuous disregard of their plan which Bonaparte had shown nor his arrogant assumption of diplomatio plenipotcnce. Knowing how thor oughly their doctrine had ienneatcd Piedmont, they had intended to mako it a ropublic. It was exaspera ting thereforo that through Bona parte's meddling they found them selves still compelled to negotiate peace with a monarchy. Tho treaty with tho king of Sardinia was final ly signed by them on May 13, but thoy had previously determined to clip tho wings of their dangerous fal con by assigning Kellcrmann to sharo with Bonaparte tho command of tho conquering army, and by con firming' Salicotti as their diplomatic plenipotentiary to accompany it. This news reached their general at Lodi on the eve of his triumphal en try into Milan. "As things now are," he promptly replied to tho directory, "you must havo a general who pos sesses your entire confidence. If I must refer every step to government commissioners, if thoy havo tho right to chango my movements, to withdraw or send troops, expect nothing good hereafter." To Carnot hewroto at tho sama timo: "I'd be lieve one bad general to bo worth two good ones. War is liko govern ment, a matter of fact. I do not wish to be hampered. I havo begun with some glory. I with to continuo worthy of you." Awaro probably that his own republican virtue could not long withstand tho temptations opening boforo him, ho began tho latter missive, as if to excuso him self and anticipato possible accusa tions: "I swear I have nothing in view but the country. You will al ways find me on tho straight road. I owe to the republio the sacrifico of all my own notions. If people seek to set mo wrong in your esteem, my answer ' is in my heart and in my conscience." It is of courso needless to add that the directory yielded, not only as to tho unity of command, but also in the fatal and vital matter of intrusting all diplomatic negotia tions to his hands. In taking this last step tho execu tive virtually surrendered its iden tity. Such, however, was the exul tation of tho Parisian populaco and of tho soldiery that the degradation or even the forced resignation of the conquering dictator would havo at once assured tho fall of the directors. They could not even protest when, soon after, thero came from Bona parte a dispatch announcing that the articles of "the glorious peace which you havo concluded with tho king of Sardinia" had reached "ns," and significantly adding in a later para graph that tho troops were content, having received half their pay in coin. Voices in Paris declared that for such language tho writer should bo shot. Perhaps thoso who put the worst interpretation on tho appar ently harmless words were correct in their instinct. In reality tho di rectory had been wholly dependent on tho army sinco tho previous Oc tober, and while such an offensive insinuation of tho fact would bo, if intentional, most unpalatable, yet thoso who had profited by tho fact dared not resent a remote reference to it Professor Sloano's "Life of Napoleon" in Century. Jealous of a Stage Lover. Too much zeal in tho dischargo of his stage duties led a jouno premier at a Paris preparatory theater into a disagreeable, not to say painful, ad venture Tho young actor was acting with a lady of his own ago in a new piece and had to mako a declaration of lovo. He held the mirror up to nature so well in the matter that the young lady's intonded husband, who was looking on from the stalls, flew into a towering passion and thirst ed for blood. When tho performance was over, the man possessed by the green eyed monster waited at tho stage door for tho jenne premier and whacked vigorously at the actor's faco with his cane. Tho player bruised, bleeding and tearful did not mako any effort to return blow for blow, but holding up a manu script which contained his part in the play remarked to his aggressor that he had dono no more than fol low the instructions of tho author of the little love comedy in which he had acted with tho beautiful young lady. Tho affair ended thero. Lon don Telegraph. Philadelphia Revenge. There is a Philadelphia shopkeeper who believes that ho does a public service by keeping a stock of cheap valentines all the year round. "The demand out of season," ho says, "for this class of valentines is from thoso who havo quarreled with their neighbors. They know I havo tho valentines, and instead of using clubs or knives on one another they como hero and get something that answers the purpose just as woll." New York Tribune. IN AN OLD ATTIC. The Many Quaint Treasures of the Olden Time It Contained. Yesterday I found a delightful! book, and of courso it was in an at tic. Our ancestors may not havo stored things in atticvi expressly to havo us discover them, but wo con tinuo to do so from timo to timo, and they aro undoubtedly moro interest ing from being a bit cobwebby and mysterious. Tho attio in which I found the delicious book had in it hidden things which looked as if they might bo tho first patterns of everything wo nso now. Probably tho most desirablo trait about this attic was that it did not possess a placo for anything or anything in its placo. For instance, I found a bonnet hanging on a pair of andirons. But for tho green silk strings no ono would ever dream it was a bon net. It looked much moro liko a coal scuttlo and had as many enorm bones as a prehistoric skeleton, it must havo belonged to a very groat grandmother. No ono without sev eral greats beforo her name could havo worn that bonnet ! Behind tho J andirons was a cradle, and in tho ; cradlo was a long polo with a red silk arrangement which onco meant a firo screen. Beside it stood a clock, with a moon faco and long chains and weights. It looked so much liko a Dutch doll, with just head and legs, that I laughed aloud. But an attic is not a placo in which to laugh unles3 one has company. Everything j was rebukingly still, and so was I immediately. Near the clock was a tablo shaped liko a long leggod spider. It looked as if just ready to walk off alono. I was quito sure it belonged to tho bonnet and the firo screen, and that somewhere thero were bluocups and saucers, which ono might break by talking too loud, and that they be longed to tho tablo. In a far corner stood a picture with its face to tho wall. I drew it out and rested it against tho tablo. Of courso it was dusty. I nover heard of tho right sort of an attio which was kept dusted. It was tho picture of a lady. I know that at onco, just as we always know a Lady when we see one. Tho picture was rather dim, but I could easily dis cern that she was young and slim, with a whito throat and bright, dark eyes. Her hair, dono very high, was of a ruddy brown, and she had cn a short waisted white satin frock, and held a half open fan primly in her hands. It was easy to sco that sho was just whero sho belonged beside tho spider legged tablo. I had no doubt that she could have told tho where abouts of the blue cups and saucers. Thinking about this lady, my eyes encountered another pair of eyes staring straight at mine. My heart jumped onco and stood still until I recognized the eyes as my own. I was gazing into a mirror. It was a dim, queer mirror, with a crack liko an enormous smila across its faco and palo enough to hold only tho ghost of light which once shone in it. Two rods supported it They held a brass candlestick apiece and rested on a little stand which had a drawer. I sat down on a hair trunk ' beforo this letter stand. Tho drawer had brass knobs and might havo been locked once, but timo or rust made it open easily, and then such an as sortment of odds and ends! Faded ribbons and flowers and beads and a feather fan, which, when I opened it, filled the air with a musty dust that mado ma sneeze! Under these scraps was a box, and under tho box was a book the book. "Tho Black Duck," by Virginia W. Cloud, in St. Nicholas. Bnrnbrae's Prayer. "Almichty Father, we aro a thy puir an sinfu' bairns, wha wearied o' hame and gaed awa' intae the far country. Forgivo us, for wo didna ken what wo were loavin or the sair heart we giad oor Father. It wes weary wark tao livewi' oor sins, but we wad never hev como back had it no been for oor elder brither. He cam' a long road tae find us, and a soro travail ho had afore he set us free. He's been a gude brither tae us, and we've been a heavy chairge tae him. May ho keep a firm hand o' us, and guide us in the richtroad, and bring us back gin we wander, and tell us a' wo need tae know till the gloamin come. Githerus in then, wo pray thee, and a' we luve, no a bairn missin, and may we sit doon for ever in oor ain father's house. Amen." "Beside tho Bonnie Briei Bush." The Income Tax.
