It is a peculiarity about the public
statues in New city that they
have had to be provided by popular
subscription, with little or no aid
from the city. An exception to the
rule is the monument in Madison
square, erected in 1887 in honor of
Maj. Gen. Worth. The city paid for
that. Most of the other statues
have been erected by private enter-
prise.

Many of these boudoirs, or

this coming out season; and are as
elaborate as money can obtain, while

The much discussed and very
pretentious little girl. Miss Gertrude
Vanderbilt, has a white boudoir as
one of a set of three rooms in the
Fifth avenue palace facing Central
park. There is a sleeping-room, a
dressing-room and a parlor or
just as she chooses to call it.
This last is a large, almost square
room, fitted up entirely in white
without so much as a dash of gold;
nor are even brass, but
of white metal.
Between the two great front win-
and banked on either side
with growing plants, is a large oval
mirror of French plate, so fine that
once a new chambermaid walked
into it thinking it another room.
All around the oval mirror are wild
flowers in a garland, whose ends are
held by flying boys.

every one asked himself. The sound
was so mysterious that it became
creepy. Some one suggested that
maybe murder had been attempted
and the victim, still alive, had been

die alone. Still no one had the
courage to go into the building by
himself and investigate. Finally

little party was gotten to-

they saw the hand disappear back

depart. One of the stronger-minded
ones said he didn't believe spirits

they never wore black gloves. So
he started into the building to make
another investigation. None of the
others dared follow him. While he
was in the building, the mysterious
sighing kept up right along. Sud-
we heard a scream, and, I
must confess, I was one of those who
thought the venturesome fellow had
run against something that wasn't

settled it. We all dashed bravely
into the building and found the
brave German who had preceded us

boy by the collar of his blouse. He
was talking to the boy rapidly and
trying hard to keep from laughing.
The boy looked defiant. In a little
while he explained the mystery. He
showed a false wall in room in
which we were standing and a hole
through which he had crawled. He
said he had seen the old owls flying

went into the building to capture

were not noted for their mo-

witnessed some of their meetings
a candidate announces a
desire to join he is placed in the
of the room on his tip-toes, with
his arms extended full length over
his head. The crowd circles around
him, singing, shouting, ringing bells
and hammering away at anything
that will make a noise. Frequently
one of the heavy bells is broken, and
this is hailed with delight, as it is
supposed that the bad spirit has left
the candidate, and entered into the
bell, filling it to bursting. When
this happens the candidate is com-
cleansed from all evil, and is
born again. The candidate for ad-
mission, after standing in this
for a short time, commences to
shake through fatigue. This is
taken as a sign that the good spirit
is entering; and the noise and din
is, if possible, increased as the poor
victim's shaking increases, until
from sheer exhaustion, he falls
trembling upon the ground. His

The Preservation of Rolls or of
Folded Sheets.
It was only writing was
made upon separate pieces, or
sheets, of pliable and perishable
material that binding proper was in-
vented to hold the pieces or sheets
together and give strength to them
and protection and beauty.
But, says the Fortnightly Review,
we must distinguish. The pliable
written sheet may be either
or folded, each giving rise to a form
of binding peculiar to itself. The
rolled sheet Is bound by fastening
each sheet to the other sideways and
rolling the whole from end to end,
the last sheet serving as a cover to
all the rest. This form of binding
is no doubt the more ancient of the
two, and it was a long time in
general use. was used, for ex-
ample, by the was
probably invented by it
was used by the Greeks and by the
Romans, and groat libraries of rolls
existed for some time after the
Christian era, and many industries
were engaged in contributing to the
perfection of the binding. It has,
however, been superseded for many
by the folded form of
literature, the invention of which is
attributed to king of
whom, too, comes
our parchment, or skin, prepared
for writing in the third century
before Christ. But, if the form has
disappeared, the terminology of the
roll has survived, and the word
originally a thing that is
rolled or wound up, i. e., a roll, is
now applied indiscriminately to its
substitute, the book of folded
sheets.
The folded sheet, at section, as it
is called, is bound by simply sew-
or otherwise fastening the parts
of the sheets to one another at the
back crease or fold, and a number of
sections are bound by fastening
each of them to some common sup-
port at the back, so that when all
are sewn or otherwise fastened they
may be free to open and to shut
at pleasure at the front or
The invention of the folded sheet
thus gave rise to the invention of
modern binding, which in its essence
is the union at the back of the folded
sheets, which together constituted

Blue denim is to most people
simply blue denim and nothing
more, but this same prosaic material
in the hands of an artistic worker in
fabrics can be so manipulated as to
produce results both charm-
and surprising. One of the
latest things in household economy
is a dining-room in which denim is
the article most used for decoration.
The fabric is cheap, as few others
are, and its texture strong, so
that it does nicely for a carpet, if
plenty of good. sot lining be used in
the laying, and again it has the
of being easily kept clean, as a
spot can be washed off with hot
water and soap.
Any sort of a plain old couch can
be freshened and made attractive by
recovering it with denim finished
with a flounce, the hem of which is
worked with a good-sized feather
stitch in white or linen embroidery
thread. Cord tassel to match the
thread can be used as an additional
A few big and comfortable sofa
pillows are needed to complete the
couch. These are covered with the
same material and embroidered with
the same thread. Any of the art-
designs now in vogue may be
used in stamping. There is some-
thing exceedingly stylish about a
denim sofa pillow if it is large and
well made.
The sideboard for this pretty blue
dining-room is covered with a denim
scarf, edged with the same thread
and finished with a fringe to match,
or, if preferred, a white scarf may-
be used, embroidered with dark blue
cotton. The table appointments
should match the color of room.
The center piece is worked in dark
blue cotton, as are the table napkins,
if they bear a monogram or initials.
A set of white and blue china, some
bright flowers and a pretty lamp
complete the furnishing of the
room, which for comfort and beauty
might rival a much more expensive
A blue denim bedroom may be

Another feature of a clever
home, in which she displays her
taste skill, is in her
center pieces, carving
pieces, etc. The stores are full of
coarse linen pieces, hemstitched or
fringed by machinery, which come
within the means of the average
housekeeper and with which she con-
tents herself. There are a few
pieces made of very fine linen and
beautifully embroidered or worked
in fine Spanish drawn work, which
can be purchased only by the rich,
and yet any wide-awake woman may
have them by simply doing them
herself, for it is the labor on them
which makes them expensive.

SEEMED QUITE NATURAL,
The College Athlete Thought the
Town Had a Strong Rush Line.
The young man was hurrying along
the street with bis hat pulled down
over his eyes. He was so oblivious of
all his surroundings that he got
in front of a big delivery
wagon without even seeing it.
That was when the sport began.
The muscular corner policeman
reached out and caught him by the
collar. Quick action was necessary,
and he gave him a yank that lifted
him off his feet and shot him against
a passing cable car. The car turned
him over or twice, and then
some projection caught in his coat
he was dragged half a block.
He managed to wriggle out of his
coat, and by an almost superhuman
threw himself clear of the car,
but directly in front of one coming
from the opposite direction on the
next track. That caught him
squarely in the back, and carried
him fifteen or twenty feet, part of
the time in one position and part of
the time in another, all of the
being decidedly awkward and
uncomfortable.
