Tho most elaborate effects ma.y often be produced wibh very ordinary matcrialll, and this la the secret which once mastered gives unlimit.ed ~cope to the i~ventlve talent'of the home decor11.tor. A plrtiere for summer ie often desirable for certain reasons : it !eaves suoh a gs.p in the rooma when the he11ovy winter draperies n.re t aken down, and yet they must be dispensed with In order to b11.ve the necessary olroul&tlon ot air do.ring the summer months. In this case a pretty substitute for a winter drapery la a portlere made of rope,- the ordinarv cotton olothea-lines will do nicely lf the macrame rope, wbioh i11 aold for hammock h~nglnga, etc:., ls not att11oin11.ble.

Make a t11ossel !lot the lower end by fringing out the rope about eight inches a.nd tying a knob above, Vn.rlety may be afforded by using altemabing lengths of rope, or arranging them in graduated leng~hs so th11.t they will form point· at the bot.tom. lf 8. curta.tn pole and rings are too CX· t:eMive, use a rustic pole a.nd ecrew in it, in a ebraigM line, a.a many eorew-eyea as there ·are len,gths of ·rope,- and 11.ttach ea.oh length ' 9f i::,o pe. to a ecrew-eye; then fasten the pole .1p to the door ca:aing with leatb,er ba.nds or a lopp ofrope.

" One fine morning we pa.seed within sight of Pitcairn's Island and had lovely weather all day, bub when I relleved the lookou~ a.b eight bella (midnight) I knew there would soon be a. decided chang;e.

"We were e11.rrylng considerable canvas 11ond altogether I did not like the looks ot things.

Apparently beautiful b~JI of electricity had alighted in fronb of me, and q 11!.ikly following it came a crash that was simply appa.lling.

Well, I regained my sta.tlon again, a.nd tried to find a ea.fo place, but my search we.a a failure. All ha.nds were at work shortening sail. Meanwhile, the bombardment continued, and, boys, I bega.n to wonder'if some of them there gods, Neptune and Vo.lc11on a.nd those fellows, were nob p1annlng our destruction.

I fell senseless to the deck, where I 111oy for n.boub two minutes totally unconeoioue. When I recovered I thought I was overboa.rd, and immedbtely began t-0 swim, but eoon diaoonred my mistake, and found there were elghb Inches nf water on the eloping deck.

British Investors in the U. S. British ca.pita.lists , have been investing their money in the most wholesale ma.nner of late in the U oitad St11.tes. Twenty-seven millions sterling are s11ild to have gone into breweries alom;; large sums ha.ve been expended on flour mille, and an immense pur· oha.se of dry goods houses is now proposed, In the midst of the fiow of wealth into the Republic comes a note of warning to the capitalists who are thus pou1ing t heir money into a coo.nbry which is anythirig but friend· ly to Brin1'in, and (lf whose differing State laws and Sbate rights they have little knowledge. It Is pointed out that many of the indlvdu11ol S b ates of the Union hil>ve a.dopted a.n extremely hostile attitude tow11ord11 alien in· vestors in their real e11tate, a.nd that while the British capitalist will find himself safe In some S tates, In others he will rnn grave rl@ks of losing his entire investment.. -The laws of the S tate of Pennsylvania are extremely harsh In this particular, and the Minnesot11o Legislature has recently enacted that it shall be unlawful for any one who ls not a citizen, or who does not propose to become one, or for any corporation not created by or under the laws of the Republic or of the St1'be1 to acquire, hold or own real estate. While means are often found to ev11ode these rcqo.iremen~e of the la.w, lb wilLstill be evident thab considerable danger exislill for the inc11.o.tious or ignorant investor, and that if a.ny hostile feeling should be a.roused in the oountry, and lb is easily done during election times, the Britioh c11opita.liet mighb nave bitter cause for regretting his faibh in the friendship of the United States people. A recent ca.rtoon in a New York paper hios off the present eltua.tlon very well.

At da.ylight we were up, a.nd each of us got a glass of rum and a shlp'e biscuit, Before the fighting began the D11ke of W elliutzbon oame riding up to U8 and cried : 'Now,I hope you are well and rea.cly.' One of our soldiers saluted him and replied: 'Yes, we know our duty.' Wellington smiled and rode off. "As for the batble, I remember very lib· tle. lb was nothing bo.b fighting and excite· ment. {['he Hn.nover!ane were a eplendid lob of men, a.nd alJ of them fought well ; but a.a for the Belgla.ns, if Wellingbon hll>d only known whab they.were he would nob have given,one of them a horse. We were short of horses and he woo.Id have ta.ken theirs and ma.de every man of them tra.mp on foob.

All day long the fighb· io.g went on, but the smoke hung so tbiok 11oround us tha.b we could see little. There was nothing but firing and shoutiDg on all sides. Sometimes when the smoke lifted we could see fighting all around us, sometimes in front or to our right and left, where we !lould see the cav11olry charging each other. Then a lob of horses would come flying a.cross the field in all directions, neighing \ nd kioking wildly. Their riders were gone; they ha.d been shot out of the saddles and the horses were galloping madly aw11oy to eso11ope, There was an Eogllah re2lment near ns a.nd I remember seeiug the French charge ab them.
