n BEAUTIFUL PARLoR ORNAMENT.-A
beautiful ornament for the sitting room can
be made by covering common glass tum-
bier with moss, the latter fastened in place
by sewing cotton wound around. Tnen
glue dried moss upon a saucer, into which
set the lumber, filling IL and the remaining
space in the saucer with loose earth from
the woods. Plant the former with "A variety
Offerns, and the latter with wood yioletS.
On the edge of the grass also plant some OF
the nameless little evergreen vines which
bears red (scarlet) berries, and whose dark
glossy, ivy Ike foliage will trail over the
fresh blue and white of the violet with beau
tful effect. Another good plan is 40 I'LL a
rather deep plate with some of the nameless
but beautiful silvery and light green and
delicate pink MOSES, which are met with in
profusioa in all swamps aud marshes. THIS
can be kept fresh and beautiful as long as IL
is not neglected 10 water it profusely once q
day. Il must, OF course, be placed in the
81 ado, or the moss will blanch and die. IN
the center OF this q clump OF large, azure vi
diets should be placed, adding some curious
lichens and pretty fungus growth from the
barks, of forest trees, and a few cones, shells
and pcbleS,
