The moat interesting apnrtment m White House, Preß'dent McKinley'a cllicial residence, is MCKIXLEY'S at the present time WAR MOM. what has been named the War Room. One wall is covered with map?, which show every detail cf tie present and pso«pec.ive scenes of military and naval operation*. Ohitf of these ia a map of the world, taking m the West Indie 9 and reaching across to Cape Veide and to Spain, and thm-cu to the Asiatic countries, including the two great oceans, the cablo louies, and by whom owned, atvd the tracks of full- powered " steamers. On thu different maps the positions of the fleets of the United States and Spain are carefully marked by pin flogs — rtd fl.igs repre- senting the Spanish ships, and white flags the ships of the United States, Betwt en the advices which conio to him by wire, and the outline of the situation which these maps and flags disclose, tbe President can follow pretty closely the naval battles of D«wey and Sampson, and the rest. The most remarlcahle piece of furniture m the room is (he desk of Mr Montgomery, the chief executive clerk. On one side of it there is a movable board of tele- graphio ins'rumente, including keys, relays, sounders, and switch. This board ia subject to immediate con motion wilh telegraphic instru- ments around the world. Just m front of it there is a typewriter all ready to oatcb the messages that come from the keys. On the left of the d<sk ia a long distance telephone, ready to connect with every other long-distance telephone m the United States. In the centre is a grapho- phone, into which Mr Montgomery talks messages, when there is con- | venient do operator to take them and no stenographer <o whom they can be dictated, adjoining the desk on tbe left is a series of private telephones. Underneath pre signal belis connected with the desk of every employee m the building. In this rot m thtre are 25 telegraph wires, 15 special telephone wires, the wires of the Railway Ex- change, and the long distance telephone system . conrecting with New York, Chicago, and every other place having a long-distance telephone. Exclusive direct wires connect with the Senate and with all the Cabinet offices. The wires are direct. They have no aide connections. The President can carry on over these tele-phones a coj n'denfial conversation with the Vice-President or any Senator, or with the head of any of the departments. The secret is as perf< ctly preserved as if it were locked m the Cabinet chamber. I Holloway's Ointment and Pills— ! " There is nothing new Under the sun " is a ■ "ay.ng duelled to a viitie y of illustrious uuthor;<, from tba t ma cf Sol«-uii.>; tc- ihu present day. It is a fanf that many inven- tions lonked upon as inoduin me ot aucient origin. The telephone, which recently caused sr.ch a furore of excitement, was m ancient days a tneaca by which the high priests woi ked upon tbe credulity of their disciples. The pyramids of Egypt and other wondets prcre that this, generation has a g> eat deal to learn. H<>llow&y'b Piila and Ointment, however, were not anticipated by our forefathers, and to-day they stand a 'one as the best cure the world possesses for all the ills h*t humanity is heir to.

NEW DECORATIVE MATERIALS. Charming Chintzes and Cretonnes In lK>ni« XVI and Renaissance Designs. Some pretty ohintz of a pure whit* ground, with wide stripes of old blue lace frork and a pattern of running vine and Rowers on the white stripe, costs 50 cents per yard, and for 25 cents many attractive pieces are to be had m colorings of old rose, pinks, delicate greens and old blue, the patterns as a rulo being sprays of chys- tothciniuns at intervals, connected by scrolls or running vines. A charming chintz m Louis Seize de- sign, showing a running pattern of pale tinted flowers, forming medallions inclos- ing tiny bouquets tied with narrow rib- bons, is 32 inches wide and costs 80 oenta per yard. A tulip design is one of the most attractive. On a pale cream ground small bunches pt tulips of natural size are grouped some distance apart, all of a sin- gle color, but exquisitely shaded. This pattern comes m shades of reds, yellows, old blues and beautifully modulated browns, fawns and yellows. It is 32 inches wide (this is the usual width) and may be purchased for 75 cents per yard. Louis Seize designs produced m delicate tints of exceeding beauty characterize the newest cretonnes, while, on the other hand, there is a great demand for the grandiose and more gorgeous effects of an earlier period. An old rose ribbed cretonne, flecked with leaf forms of a darker shade, which forms a rich background for large sprays of shaded ohrysanthemums m old reds, yel- lows and cream white, with, pale olive foli- age, is an effective example of the more gorgeous style and is marked at 60 cents per yard. Beautiful dark colored chintzes, showing renaissance designs of scrolls, geometric- al figures and heraldic emblems, cost from 60 to 80 cents per yard and are used fre- quently for library furnishings. Artistic Iron 'Work In the Home. Ornamental metal work m iron, electro bronze, real bronzo, hammered brass, etc., Is yearly advancing and enters more and more into the ornamentation of buildings and the interior decorations of houses. Entirely regardless of its enduring qual- ities, probably no material is more success- DESIGN FOR STAIR RAILING. fully handled for architectural decoration than ornamental iron. Bent iron fenders are scon m fashiona-. ble drawing rooms, and the same work ap- pears m handsome standing lamps, etc. The Industrial World, m commenting on the progress of artistic ironwork, Bhows a design for stair railing and newel post m plain cast iron, or it could be elec- troplated m bronze. The delicate tracery between the rails is particularly artistic. The Bouquet Garni. The bouquet garni, ao often quoted m cookery books, should consist of parsley, thyme and bay leaves. After having washed the former the two latter are laid well m the center of the parsley sprigs, which should be neatly tied round, so that tho ends should not fall off during the boil- ing process. The correct length is about 8 inohos, and the accepted quantities about 2 ounces of parsley and not quite one- quarter of thyme and bay leaves together. Obviously this does not mean that the cook Bhould necessarily measuro her quantities daily, but it is well to start with an exact Idea of what the proportions ought to be. How to Remove Grease From Silk. Place some coarse brown paper (tho soft kind) on both sides of tho spots, then press carefully with a hot iron. Change the pa- per often, as it absorbs the grease. If the goods are so delicate that the iron is likely to injure them, try friction by using raw cotton. Rub tho spots off, changing the cotton often. If the material is soiled or stained m many places, rip the article and wash it m tepid water softened with pulverized borax. It can be made to look as good as new. Teamaking. Few people realize how much depends on tho water for making good tea, for if it is hard it will spoil tho most expensive tea. It can be improved by adding half the qxiantity of rainwater (filtered, of course) or a tiny pinch of bicarbonate of soda. Tho water should bo freshly drawn and boiled quickly, using it at once. AUow a teaspoonful of tea to each person and in- fuse the tea seven minutes. It will then t,^ wholesome to drink. s. - — - Deviled Ham. Puis a tablespoon! ul of mustard into a dish.mix: with a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Add haW a teaspoonful of curry powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix and spread over slices of cold, boiled ham. Broil and lay\on a dish with sliced lemon. A liittle Boy'» tetter From India. I am writing you a letter about tea. Tho garden is situated on one of the ridgea of the Himalayas. The top of the ridge is chiefly forest, where there are bears, jun- gle cats, deer, wild fowl, pheasants and green pigeons. The bottom of the garden is chiefly jungle, where leopards and mas- arbras live. The other day a leopard car- ried off a dog and left nothing but the skin. The river is small, with a few fish, but » lot of mud fish. On either side of the garden and above there is a lot of bhoata, j or Indian corn, and tho middle is tea. Before -the tea is planted the place is jungle; then the junglo is cleared and dug vp fa - Small holes are made m tho ground, and the seed is covered up and left. to grow. After tnree years, when it is full grown, the coolies oome and pick tho tender green shoots and carry them m baskets to the factory, where they are withered, rolled, j fermented and dried, then packed In boxe* and sont away to pther countries.
