flood Colon For Homseo. It is wot generally known ? not ?r?n among painters ? why certain tints and colors wear much bettor than others on houses, and the knowledge of Just what tints are beat to use Is, therefore, rather hasy. One writer on paint, in n recent book, says that experiments seem to sh*w that those colors which resist or turn back the heat rays of the aun will1 protect a house better than those which allow these rays to paas through the film. Thus red It a good color because It turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays.' In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear Is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, browns, grays and olives which, considering the various tones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), snd the blues. It mi\st be understood that no vir tue is claimed for tints in themselves, irrespective of the materials used fn the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scalc off, if adulterated white lead or canued paint is used, but If one is careful to use the best white lead? some well-known. brand of a reliable manufacturer ? and gen uine linseed oil, the warm tints men tioned above will outwear the same materials tinted with the cold colors. 80ME SOUTHERN DELICACIES.

We had ham for dinner ? a most delicious ham, baked. The farmer's son soon ilnlshed his portion and passed his plate again. " "More 'am, father,' he said. "The farmer frowned. 'Don't say 'am, son; say 'am.' " 'I did say 'am,' the lad protested, in an injured tone. " 'You said 'am!' cried the father, fierceiy. "Am's what It should be. 'Am. not 'am.' "In the midst of the controversy the farmer's wife turned to me with a lit tle deprecatory smile. " 'They both think they're saying 'am!' she said." Home-made crosses fit like home made clothes.

How many persons realize that coffee so disturbs digestion that it produces a muddy, yellow complex ion? w A ten days' trial of I'ostum Food Coffee has proven a means, In thou sands of cases, of clearing up bad complexions. A Washn. young lady tells her ex perience: "All of us ? father, mother, sister and brother ? had used tea and cof fee for many years until Anally we all had stomach troubles more or less. "Wo wore all 6allow and tro%bled with pimples, breath bad, disagree able taRte In the mouth, and all of us simply so many bundles of nerves. "We didn't realize that coffee was the cause of the trouble until one day we ran out of coffee and wont to borrow some from a neighbor. She gave us some Postum aud told us to try that. "Although wc starled to make it we all felt sure we would be sick If we missed our strong coffee, but we were forced to try Postum and were surprised to find it delicious. "Wo read tho statements on the pk?;., got more and In a month and a half you wouldn't have known us.

The good Emp tage Is honest. He shall count the money In that house. And bis daugh ters shall marry the planters in my Pacific island." CHAPTER VII. The Lost Place. No prophecies ever come true ex cept prophecies of disaster. Perhaps the reason is that there have never been any other kind. Katharine went about her duties with a sense of im pending disaster due to Dlttmer's pro phecies. The children carried on in their usual fashion; the mother worked and contrived; the precise bald-head ed father came home every day and read the paper slowly, with his legs crossed. Just as usual; and yet some thing dreadful was going to. happen to them. If you knew that the day after to-morrow there was going to be an earthquake of so vast and- extended a character that there would be no time to escape, would you warn the un thinking folk or would you leave them to their fate? If you warnei them, for every one who would betake him to his knees, a dozen would take to drink. Better leave them unconscious until the end came. As well warn the skipping lamb that in a day or two he will be hanging up, with his wool gone and his Inside scooped out, In a butcher's shop. The blow fell a few days later. It was on Saturday afternoon, wlien Mr. iCmptage generally came home at half-past two and spent the rest of the day with the family, not disdaining to turn his hand to household Jobs; few family men, Indeed, were readier nt nailing up a blind, mending a door handle, or any of those little matters , for which the plumber is too often railed In. He generally came home cheerful and contented? tenuity of in come Is not felt if you desire no more than you have. This day, however, lie returned in a condition which? unjust ly . I deelure ? forccd those who saw him to think of strong drink. "John," said his wife, sharply. "What Is the matter? Where have you been?" His face was white, his iips tremu lous, his hands dangled at his eldo-a most undignified thing for hands to do -and lie swayed from side to side. "John!" his wife repeated. "What's Ihe matter?" "lie is ill, Mrs. Emptage," said Kath nrlne. But she knew what had hap pened. "Children!" the poor man groaned, "wife! Katharine!"? he sunk into an arm-chair and burled his face in his hands? "we are ruined!" Had he, then, been dismissed. "John! What is it? Tell me, quick. What? JOhn! Speak np!" "Maria, I will. Give me time. I've eaten no dinner to-day at all. What right had I to be eating dinner with the poor children never going perhaps to have any more?" He uttered these awful words with his face still In his hands, so that they had a muffled funeral sound, like the drums at the burial of a soldier. "Oh. John! Speak up!" his wife re peated. The younger children began to cry. The elders watched their mother and Katharine. It would not be becoming In them to begin the crying until they set the example. But they were terrl-. fled. John sat up and looked slowly and solemnly around, shaking his head. His children were about him. his wife was at his side, and In front of him was the governess! Oh, how few of his contemporaries had governesses! And now ho felt? In moments of great trouble It Is the small thing which sei7.es first on the mind. John Einptnge suffered less pain at the mo ment for the loss of his Income thnn for the loss of his gentility. "Our governess ! My children's governess!" Now he would bp able to say these words no longer. ^ "Business." he began, with a gronn, "has been terribly bad. It is bad with everybody, but In our trade It seems to have gone altogether." "Well, my dear, you have said that so often." "At last the partners have reduced the establishment. Bed need? reduced ?the establishment, Maria." "John!" shrieked his wife, "yon haven't lost your berth?" "They've sent awfty half the clerks three are gone; and they've cut down the salaries of those who slay on. I ni cut down. Maria ? children? your father has been cut down!" "Oh, John! How much? Fifty pounds ?' ? ,4The chief partner Mot tor me. He ?poke very kind. 11* said It was very hard on an old servant, bat what was he to do? He said that all his personal expenses had been cut down to the low est, and the establiahment In the city kept np In hopes of better times, but the trade seemed gone away for good, and what was he to do? And then he said that he was, very sorry Indeed, very sorry for me he was, but he could no longer go on paying salaries on the same scale, and he was obliged to offer me a reduction or'? John doubled up and groaned as one who has sn inter* nal pain? "of half my screw? take It or leave it? take It or leave It. That't all, Maria." ? "Oh, John! Only half? that Is whnt we married on, sixteen years ago. It was plenty then. But now " she looked around her. Six children! And the eldest only fifteen! She groaned aloud. Three hundred pounds a year does not seem to some people a treat in come; but many families hare to make three hundred pounds suffice for all their wants and all their luxuries; think of the clergy, half-pay officers and widows. In careful hands ? no where are the hands more careful than those of the London clerk's wife ?three hundred pounds will go a very long way. pnrticulary when you get such a governess as Katherine? a chance which falls to few. But divide the three hundred by two ? Mrs. Emptage rapidly made that division, and gazed before her in consternation; some clerks have to do with a hundred and fifty, even clerks with families of six. But none knew better than this cousin of a thousand clerks what the Income meant. "Oh! children,** she cried, "what shall we do? The things that we must give. up! How In the world shall I keep you respectable?" Then she looked guiltily at Kath arine. "You will not be able to keep me any longer," said Katharine. "Oh! I am so sorry for you, I am Indeed." "Katharine, my dear, have one more meal with us, if it is only a cup of tea. Children, Katharine will, come and see us sometimes? won't you, my dear?" When Katharine came away at nine, she met Dittmer Bock smoking a Ham burg cigar under the lamppost. "They know all now." he rffcld. "I was afraid to komm. I am aorry for them. Yet they have still one hundred and fifty pounds. In Hamburg that is a good pay for a clerk. One hundred and fifty pounds. Three thousand marks. Count it in marks. 80 it is twenty times as great? ten marks a day? They have been too rich, the English. But they will be rich 110 longer. The English clerks are sent away. The German clerk remains. I have but forty pounds a year. Eight hundred marks. Yes, the German re mains and the Englishman is sent awoy. It is the new conquest of Eng land. The German remains." "I fear they will have to deny them selves in many things," said Ivatha | rlnc. "They will eat enough, but they will no longer be rlcfc, They will no longer U&yejtuch a Frauleln to teach the chil dren." "No. I must find another place.*' "It is sometimes hard to find? I fear ; ?the other place." "I shall find It somehow. Ob, I have no fear." "Frauleln"? Dittmer turned pale, smitten with sudden terror? "you leave this good family; you go awoy. lllin mel! Where cun I go to meet you now?" Katharine hesitated. "Do you still wish to meet me. Ditt mer?" she asked, without the least coquetry. "Ach! You ask If I wish? what other pleasure hove I than to meet you, Frauleln? There is no one else In the World who listens when I speak." "If It Is only to tell me what is Iq your mind I will try to nrrange for seeing you sometime*). But?" "Frauleln, it Is sweet to open my soul to you because you understand and are kind. You do not laugh. .Ta! It fills my heart with joy to be with you and to see your face? so wundcr sclioin? " "Dittmer, you must not " "You ask If I si ill wish to meet you. Ach!

The Art of Dintni. The Delineator fur September marks the initial appearance of Jean Marie Devaux as its culinary editor. M. Devaux is considered one of the greatest living authorities on matters pertaining to culinary art andQrcience. In his initial talk, "The Perfect Din ner," he says ? "It is a long step from the absurd and vulgar dissipa tions of the table to the perfection of the delicate art of dining as it is now practiced by lovers of nice eating. Thus, what diner today would be guilty of studying how to prolong his menu rather than how to perfect it, and yet the ancient gourmands fail ed to realize that this is the first rudi ment of the art of eating. To weary the palate with excessive feeding is as undesirable as it is to nauseate it with improperly cooked foods. Both are responsible for indigestion." He then goes on to treat of the hors d'oeuvre, or the first course of the Perfect Dinner.
