WHEN DECORATING THE HOME.!
WHEN DECORATING THE HOME. Women who are seeking advice on the sub- ject of house decoration may profit by the following hints. When paperilig a room re- member that large patterns and dark colours will make it appear smaller, while a plain or striped paper of a light hue will give an a, effect in increased size. Flower designs should only be used in bedrooms. For bath- rooms, kitchen, and nursery, either paint the walls or use washable paper. For reception rooms a simple moire design in silver or bronze is most effective. Quiet simplicity, indeed, should be the keynote throughout. KEEPING YOUNG. There is commonly a gladness in the faces of young girls that is absent from the coun- tenances of young and elderly women. Often in age women regain beauty of facial expres- sion by discovering the secret of delight. There is an idea afloat that people should grow more beautiful with every year that passes. It is a discredited idea, though the faster it gains ground the better chance will girls have of possessing beauty all their lives, for it is a truth. There is no reason why dis- appointment should sour us, or disenchant- ment be the general fate of womankind. MONET MATTERS AND MARRIAGE. A little common sense in discussing money matters before marriage would save a world of discomfort. A girl should know on what sum she is expected to dress and pay her little personal expenses. If she has a father, it is his place to learn what income his future sen-in-law can command; how much he has in savings, and the amount of his debts. The lack of a father places this duty upon a mother's shoulders, and when a girl has no one to make such inquiries for her, she should do it herself. For unless she knows on how much she will have to manage, she cannot settle down to plan how to keep com- fortably within the bonds of the income, whatever it mav be. W I EVILS or TUSHT-LACING. Do not fcirget that a bad complexion is often due to unconscious tight-lacing. Any tightness presses upon the stomach, which cannot do its Work properly, and a spotty skin is the result. Wear loose clothing so as not to impede either digestion or proper brmthilig. Wear a woollen garment next the skin all the year round. Sometimes a girl's complexion is blue and pasty because she habitually wears too few clothes in cold weather. Perhaps she suffers chronically from cold feet, and warm stockings and shoes in such cases are more effective measures than any toilet applications.

NEWSPAPERS CENSURED.
NEWSPAPERS CENSURED. ADVERTISING A FRAUD. At the Old Bailey on Friday, at the conclu- sion of a fraud case, Judge Rentoul censured newspapers which inserted swindling advertise- ments. In the case before the Court, William John- son, aged seventy-four, of Burleigh-street, Strand, Edward Giles, aged fifty-four, of Win- eott-road, Kennington, and Alfred Powell, aged forty, of Bushwood-road, Kow, pleaded guilty to conspiring to, obtain money by false pretences in connection with the Wellington Supply Company, Limited, of Chiswick. "A fourth pri- soner, Francis Edgar Powell, aged nineteen, was acquitted on the ground that he was acting under the instructions of older persons. The accused inserted advertisements in many papers throughout the country offering cash prizes to those who bought an article from them, for which 4s. 9d. had to be sent, and Katmg, "Every day forty readers of this paper will receive Cl." When the reader purchased an article he was informed that he was one of the winners, and was entitled to one-fortieth of ;Ll-a sixpence. Judge Rentoul said he would like to die- charge the accused and "order the whole of thii papers which inserted these advertise- ments to pay the entire costs of the prosecu- tion." "In the list of papers I have had handed to me," he added, "I am glad to see that there are no daily papers which have published these advertisements." He sentenced Johnson to six months and the other two to four months each, all in the second division.
. A MYSTERIOUS FIND.
A MYSTERIOUS FIND. On Friday an unexpected and interesting dis- covery was nmdeat Greenhithe by some work- men employed excavate g A cesspool in some ground several hundred vards from the Thames. Ten feet from the surface a hole was found, and on opening it out a large subterranean chamber with walls of chalk and mortar and plastered Gothic roof was disclosed to view. The chamber is about twelve feet long, six wide, and eight high, with a spiral staircase at one end and an entrance to a passage blocked up by chalk, debris at the other. The skeleton of a horse' head, some oyster shells, bones (possibly human), and a fragment of an ancient earthenware utensil, were also found. The chamber is believed to be connected with I a system of old underground passages leading to the old Chantry, and dating from Catholic times. Some other people, however, consider it to be a well-planned and built stronghold! of smugglers conveniently "accessible from the river. Another suggestion is that the room once served as a hermit's cell. Local tradition has it that a store of treasure is hidden eomewhere in the district.
CLEVER WANDERING BOY. )
CLEVER WANDERING BOY. In the Children's Court at Westminster on Friday, before Mr. Horace Smith, wtus a boy of twelve, Francis Cournede, who was found bv a school attendance officer wandering without proper guardinasliip. The boy's mother was in the West London Hospital, and he refused to remain at home, alleging that he was ill-treated and poorly fed. His appearance was somewhat ragged. In- j qttiries at the school he had attended in Ful- ham showed that the master could not give him a good character. His father was dead, and the youngster had been wandering about for a fortnight. The magistrate was further informed that the lad spoke English, French, and German fluently. His friends, however, said they could not do anything with him. Mr. Horace Smith I don't understand that. He has already acquired three languages, Despite the money spent on my education I could never speak three languages. He wants 1 someone to look after him. He is a clever child. The boy, who spoke clearly and intelligently, said he was born in England. His father, now dead, was a Frenchman, and his mother a German. "My father was an honest man, sir," added the lad. "and I want to be what my father was." Mr. Horace Smith asked the boy to write something on a piece of paper. He did so in a fair hand. "I wish everyone would write as well as that," said the. magistrate, "it would be a comfort. You must go to the Remand Home for a," week. We wiD see what can he done to enable you to lead a happy life."
MAGISTRATE'S CONFESSION.
MAGISTRATE'S CONFESSION. During the hearing of a charge of watch stealing at West Ham on Monday, the magistrate, Mr. Gillespie, made an interest- ing confession. The prosecutor charged a respectable cabinet maker with stealing his watch, and declared that whilst travelling in an omni- bus the vehicle lurched, and the accused man fell over, his hand going into the prosecutor's watch pocket. The evidence went to suggest that the incident was a pure accident, and Mr. Gillespie, in discharging the accused, said: "A very similar thing happened to me some time ago. When going into Earl's Court station I took a man's watch clean out of his pocket. I gave it back to him, of course, but, .fortunately, I was not given into cus- t°dy."
FATAL FIREWORK EXPLOSION.
FATAL FIREWORK EXPLOSION. On Saturday afternoon the firework island of Belle Vue Gardens, Manchester, was the scene of an accident which resulted in the death of one fireman and injuries to three others. The island, situated in the midst of a lake, is used for the staging of "scenic firework pic- tures, and this season "The Battle of Man- chester" is being shown. The rockets and other fireworks used• in the performance are manufactured in sheds behind, the scenery. An explosion in the shed and, the ignition of a number of rockets were followed by a dense cloud of smoke. In order to get into an advantageous posi- tion for playing on the fire, half a dozen fire- men climbed upon a platform used by the men who fire the rockets "during the performance. This collapsed, <the men falling thirteen feet, and a number of heavy timbers fell upon them. Station-Officer Kingsley had his neck broken, and he was dead when admitted to 1100- fntal. Another fireman was carried out in an unconscious state suffering from concussion and cuts and bruises, and he was 4otafJ\ett it hospital.
HOME HINTS. .
HOME HINTS. Shabby oak furniture should be brushed over with warm beer, and when thoroughly dry polished with bees-wax a.nd turpentine. Should the knob come off the lid of a pan or kettle, a screw should be slipped through the hole with the head to the inside of the lid, and a. cork screwed on the protruding end. This will make a knob that will not get hot, and that can be removed when it is dirty. To wash fine lace or linen, take a gallon of furze blossoms, and burn thenr to ashes, then boil them in six quarts of soft water. This, when fine, use in washing with suds, as occa- sion requires, and the linen, etc., will not only be exceedingly white, but also only half the soap is needed and there is little trouble. When baking a custard put the dish con- taining it in a larger dish nearly full of water. Then, when the custard is half cooked, a little castor-sugar should be sifted over it. It will be found that this process helps to brown the custard nicely, while the surrounding water prevents it from cooking too fast, and 80 the honeycomb appearance is avoided. Children soon learn to enjoy cleaning their teeth, and are apt to be rather over rigorous than otherwise inattentive to duty. Always clean a young child's teeth both night and morning. A toothbrush should not be used, as the little gums are so tender. All that is necessary is to use a piece of eoft linen dipped in warm water. To renovate and alter the shape of an ostrich feather, hold it over the eteam of boiling kettle, the quill will then be quite pliable. If a straight shape is desired, place the feather on a piece of stiff card- board, and to curve it, bend it round a large jar or bottle. There is nothing more beneficial for the eyebrows than brushing them. Get a small eyebrow brush and brush them well but gently several times a day. After washing the face at night and brushing the brows in this way, heat a little vaseline, and with a email brush apply it to the roots of the hair. This will increase the growth of the brows and make them look glossy. If a fire has to be left unwatched for seve- ral hours, the best plan to keep it alive is to place on the top of the coal a handful of salt. This will prevent it burning quickly, also from flying on to the hearthrug, A stir with the poker afterwards will result in a nice red fire.
