Red makes no difference in regard to size, hut it always gives the iden of warmth and comfort. It will always ac- centuate any tint of green that lurks in the other colors employed. Red in some tone or another might be used to advantage in a room that was not light- ed from without, or in one that had a north light. On the other hand, green should never he used under such con- ditions, but only where a room is pow- erfully lighted, or a flood of sunshine penetrates. This serves to light up the yellow tint that would be otherwise inappreciable and gives a cheerful color tone.

When Edward J. Victory asked to he excused from serving as a juror in New York he gave as his reason that he is n man of bad character and that he had been arrested three times.

One of Mr. Chamberlain's favorite creations is to hear his daughters read Freuch aloud. He is very particular in the choice of their reading and likes to be consulted about every new hook that comes into their hands. He ia also very strict in the matter of their theatrical attendance, and will never allow them to witness any play to which the most fastidious taste could object.

Some one asked a friend of Alfred Fait how much the South African hit- lionaire was worth. "He probably could jot get out more than a thousand mil- lions now," was the response, "but if he would let the price of rough diamonds go helow 28 to 32 shillings per carat no one knows how much he would realize. For no one else except Rhodes knows how many harrels of diamonds they have salted away down there to keep the market steady."

An unusual marriage was witnessed, at Perry, O. T. A swollen creek sep- arated Albert Perry, a cowboy, from Emma Moyer, about the time they were to be married. The clergyman was with him. The groom plunged in and swam the creek, Wit the clergyman feared to follow. The happy couple and their friends assembled on one side of the stream and the clergyman howled his questions and henediction from the other side, and thua they were married.

AMERICAN TIMBER.

One and one-quarter million square miles is the estimate of the timber area of Canada, as given by the United States consul general at Montreal. One of the most valuable timber trees in the great northwest, the red cedar, grows to a maximum height of 300 feet and a dlameter of 14 feet.

Somehistorical treea have lately come into the New York lumber market from the Wilderness battlefield of the civil war. The hills of lading showed that the trees had heen felled and the lum- her sawed there. In some of the planks the minie balls can be seen plainly, the wood directly adjacent to the bullets being discolored or rotten, hut not enough to damage the lumber.

The portion of the state of Washing- ton west of the summit of the Cascade range is covered with the heaviest con- tinuous helt of forest growth In the United States. This forest extends over the slopes of the Cascade and Coast ranges, and occupies the entire drift plain surrounding the waters of Puget sound. Excepting the highest moun- tain peaks and the sand duues of the coast, which are treeless, the valleys of the Cowlitz and Chehalis rivers, which are dotted with small oaks and other deciduous'trees, and the stunted yellow plnes occupying with ogen growth the barren Steilacoom plain, all of western Washington is covered with a magnifi- cent forest.

NEXT TO PRESIDENT.

Death of Vice President Hobart Elevates John Hay.

In the Event of MeKinley's Passing Away the Secretary of State Wenld Become the Nation's Chlef Execative.

John Hay, who, hy reason of his po- sition of secretary of state, would be- come president of the United States in the event of Mr. Mckinley's death, is a man of wide experience and attrac- tive personality. He was born in Sa- lem, Ind., 61 years ago, but spent most of his hoyhood days in Urbana, Ill. His father was the leading physiclan of that section of Illinois, and stories are still told about the "old doctor" hy the older residents of Champaign and adjoining counties. The doctor and his sorrel horse were famous for 50 miles In any direction from Urbana. He was a man of affairs and gave hls sons fine educations and a good start in the world. John Hay graduated at Brown university, and early in 1861 was admitted to the practice of law In Springfield. Won hy the young man's pleasing address and hy his evident strength of character, President Lin- coln asked him to go to Washington as his private secretary. Thus, at the age of 23, he was thrown into the midst of mighty events -- the most important in the nation's history.

John Hay remained with President Lincoln until the asesssination. He then tried the army for a time, but soon went ahroad, spending two or three years as secretary of the American legatlons at Vienna and Madrid re- spectively. In 1870 he became editorial writer on the New York Tribune, which position he held for five years. In 1875 he removed to Cleveland, O., where he married the daughter of Amasa Stone, the king of lake navigation and iron interests. He was active In politics for several years and in 1879 was appointed assistant secretary of state, a place he held about 18 months. He was appoint- ed ambassador to Great Britain by President Mckinley early in 1897 and

SECRETARY OF STATE HAT. (Oficial Next In Succession to President Mckinley.)

im the autumn of 1898 was invited to become secretary of state. He la now in line of succession for president. it will he seen that for nearly 40 years Mr. Hay han heen in the whirl of na- tional politics and diplomacy. He ls equipped hy nature and training for the discharge of the duties of any office to which he might be called by choice or circumstances.

Secretary Hay lives In a fine mansion on the north side of Lafayette square, fronting the white house and two short hlocks distance therefrom. It is a four- story brick and atone house surround- ed hy generous grounds. Across Six- teenth street is situated St. John's church, the fashionable Episcopal es- tahlishment in Washington. On the north corner of the square is the fa- nous Corcoran mansion, occupied for many years hy the celebrated philan- thropiat of that name. The Hays have heen social leaders In the capital for 20 years or more. They are very popu- lar there. Personally Secretary Hay iz affahle and courteous under all cir- cumstances. He is approachable and easy without inviting familiarity.

The elder Miss Hay Is what is known 14 a new girl. She writes and is ath- letie, hut ahe is also quite a society girl, for she 'dances and enjoys her chances to the utmost.

Not long ago she wrote this poem: Elgh not for love, the ways of love are dark. Sweet child, hold up the hollow of your hand stars.

ON THE STAGE AND OFF.

London is importing American ballet girls.

Mrs. Le Breton, Mrs. Langtry's moth- er, lives in Jersey and is still one of the best looking women in the ialand in spite of her advanced age.

"Cyrano de Bergerac" Is at present being played in Brussels, Moscow, Vi- enna, Madrid, Rio Janeiro and Buda- Pesth. It has been translated into eight languagea.

Richard Mansfield was examining the Shaw monument in Boston the other day when he noticed a man with a ko. dak pointed at him. He thundered loud protests at the impudence of the pho- tographer, and was then apparently still more annoyed to find that the man only wanted to get a picture of the state house.

An actress playing in small parts in a Berlin theater has turned her mar- riage to some account. The usual for- mal invitation has been suppressed in favor of something that reads like this: "Fraulein X- invites all her friends and admirers to see her dehut in a piece called 'Marriage.' The other part will be taken hy Herr X -. It will depend on the latter whether this play turns out a comedy or a drama," One admires the courage of a man that could read this and then walk to the altar.

VEGETABLES FOR THE TABLE.

The onion was worshiped by the an- cient Egyptians.

Asparagus was fashionable 200 yeara before the Christian era. Parsnips were much thought of by the ancient worshipers of Venus.

It was the custom of the Greeks to offer beets on a silver tray to Apollo in bis temple at Delphi.

Lord Bacon loved the onion so that he declared the rose would be sweeter planted in a hed of them.

Asparagus promotes the appetite while furnishing little nourishment and is a good substitute for clams.

Egg-plants, with the inside scooped out and filled with bread crumbs and hutter, are favorite vegetables for the table.

The cauliflower is a patrician among vegetables and was taken from its Cy- prus home in Italy and England in the reign of Elizabeth.

Parsley should always garnish a dish containing onions, as it takes away the odor most people object to. It even prevents the aftertaste if eaten hy the individual who loves onfons and must have them.

WAY STATIONS.

Abont 3,000 miles of railway must be constructed to complete the line from Cape to Cairo.

The Baltimore & Ohio railroad re ceutly placed an order with the Pull- man Palace Car company for 1,500 box cars and with the South Baltimore cal works for 1,000. The cars are to ht huilt according to the B. & O. stand- ards. This makes a total of 8,860 box and coal cars ordered for delivery with in the next six months.

A western railroad company has adopted the method of making up ite passenger trains with the sleepera next to the engine; the coaches come next and the baggage cars last. This re- verses the usual practice. It is claimed that this arrangement makes the sleepers ride steadier, and there is also less dust.

John I. Blair in his earlier days owned a western railroad, along the route of which he established a series of lunchrooms, at which the employes were to be charged 50 cents and all pas- sengers 75 cents. Mr. Blair once dined at one of these places, and, concluding his meal, laid down a half dollar. "Hold on!" cried the cashier. "You don't be- long to this road." "I know that," re- plied Mr. Blair; "the road helongs tr me."

The use of steel ties for experimental purposes on the New York Central rail- road has not given satisfactory results, says the Engineer. They are durable, but hard to line; the ballast shakes away from them and they give a rat- tling sound from the stone hallnst and from the bolts, and this sound is disa- greeahle to the passengers. Some have proved to he so unsatisfactory that they are now being removed and are heing replaced by oak ties.
