It la rather the rage in the present day to decorate rooms with trifles. This Is a mistake, nd often really pretty ornamenta are not seen to advantage because of thla. Allow sufficient margin of apace between your pictures and ornamenta, to that each may be properly seen. A superabundance of Japanese fans, common knlckknacks, bits of pottery, china animals, cheap frames, and generally, should be avoided, though on the other hand much that litalfful to thy way of ornament can be bad nowadays very Inexpensively The mistake Is In the crowding of too many of them together, and having gewgaws which are really rubbish.

This was thoroughly demonstrated on the 8d of July, when the Spanish fleet came out, and one at a time, as they would have had to do under any circumstances." The writer of the article says that the reason why the Merrlmac did not sink across, the channel, as was Intended, was because the maneuver was badly executed. He adds; "If Mr. Hobson bad fitted his vessel with two good anchors ahead, and another two good anchors astern, all he had to do was to steam slowly In and stop the engines shortly before arrivIf the title ing at the chosen place. were coming In the bow anchor should be dropped. The tide would necessarily swing the stern around, and when the vessel reached the desired position across, then the anchor ehould be drop ped astern. If, on the contrary, the tide were coming out, the stern an chor should be dropped first, and the waters having swung the vessel across the bow anchor should be dropped. Lieut. Muller, not content with pointing out that the sinking of the Merrlmac was useless because the maneuver was badly executed, attacks LieOt Hobson, not so much for his osculatory habit, as for his discrimination In favor of the young and pretty.
