To MAKE MoLE-SKIN MATs.-Ten
years ago l dressed some mole skins,
and had them made into small mats, on
which to place vases OF flowers, ETC.
Some are still in existence; the fur is as
firm on them as ever and fresh-looking.
Take skins freed from all fat, and stretch
them tightly Oh piece of board by tack
ing down the sides. Then, with a very
strong solution of alum and ater, well
rub the skin side, and leave them to dry
repeating the process and drying six or
seven times. When dried cut to the re-

THE LATEST FASHION IN CARpETING.
OF course You will not commit the ex-
travagance, and also folly, of having a
carpet extending as far as the walls
OF the room, ami cut out to fit every
angle or recess. 1t is far better, as well
M cheaper, to have an oblong er square
carpet (according to the silape of your
room), and to let it extend to within
about two feet of the wainscoting. If
you have a good floor, it is best to stain
the board for this space, but if not, the
common bamboo mating, SO much in
use in Japan, is as good n thing as can
be had, and it can be scrubbed clean al
most like boards.
4FNT PITYY-S cENTENIRY PAPERS,
Ef this ere weather should purceed tn
continner on, ! don't know nOthin' tall
about what'll become NV them ere Tur-
keys and Rucheings. They'll simmer
down intirely tn nothin', and then THAR
wont be much on EN- left tn fight each

'twould he.
When [ WIS a gal, 1 thought 'twould
be kinder purity to go furler down tow
ards the topic nv canser Though don't
knows they had any topics in them days.
The gogphys hadn't made them yit, I

midge tn the Colored sea, er the Phos-
phorous, where the musclemen swear by
the baird NV the profit, and ask black
sheep, er somethin', NV all the strangers
they light Ontu.
The truth ont is / never rally I'D
mired them ere Turkeys. They make
leetle tn free with their skimmerters,
end their religin is too much arter the
Mormin parsuashin The Rucheings I
like considubIe better. In a particular
monner cause they don't seem til hev
anything agin lis as nashin. But 1
carnt say howsever es they've alters
'peared tn me sound on the goorse

And yet, eff I could hev my say, I'd send
