Staining Wood Work.

The Manufacturer and BuilIer gives the
following sensible hints on this subject:
We often stain pine wood by the means
Of linseed oil in which little burnt Sienna
and Van Dyke brown We're mixed. The
Sienna alone is too reddish. and the Van
Dyke alone is too dull; but mixture
makes fine shade. which you elm vary by
changing the proportions according to
taste, and give it the appearance OF mahog-
any, black walnut. and even rosewood
After the oil is well dried. coat with amber
varnish. If you wish a jet black. however.
stain with strong u'atery solution Of eX-
tract of logwOod. Apply it with brush.
ard after it is dry, wash with a diluted so
luton of bichromate of potash. and rub
with rag to remove the grayish film that
will appear on the surface; if not jet black.
repeat the operation. When the black is
satisfactory, put on gold bands with yellow
bronze powder mixed in a little varnish:
mix a little at time, as it soon becomes
very hard. When dry, coat The whole
with good varnish to give it Il gloss. and
the black with gold bands will be very
handsome.

The Telephone In Mines.

A new use has been found for the telc-
phone. Since it was introduced into sew
eral mines for the purpose of communities
ton between the men ut work below the
surface and the offices of the companies
above ground, it has occurred to somebody
connected with one of the mines that it
could be used to advantage in indicating
the ventilation Of the mines themselves.
The circulation Of air in the mines is shown
by the anometer, which is situated below.
The miners have fallen into the way of be-
ing careless as to the ventilation. But now
it has been found possible, by attaching the
telephone to the anometer below, to in
dictate the flow of air in the mine, in the
office of the company above. 1t is pro-
posed shortly to try experiments to see
whether the telephone can be made avail
able in divers operations. 1t is believed
that the instrument may be attached to the
armor of divers. and be made perfect
means Of communication between them
and their assistants.

The Village of IsletOn, CALIFORNIA;,
Said to Have Been Swept
Away.

san Francisco, February 2G.-It is re-
ported tonight that the villages of lsleton
on Andrus Island, in the Delta Sacramento
River, has been swept away, in consc-
quence of the pressure brought upon the
levees by cutting in the bikes on Grand
Island, just across the river. Reports are
coming in of disaster by the
flood in the Sacramento Valley. Water
covers the whole face of the country, and
the destruction of property from Coulsa to
the mouth of the river, aggregates 81 ,OOO,-
600. Fortunately, with but two or three
as far as learned, no loss of life
has occurred. Steamers and barges are
busy conveying live stock and other prop
erty to a place of safety. The Legislature
has made an appropriation of $4,000 for
the benefit of the sufferers.

A San FranciscO Lady with Nothing
:. TO Wears -

We have just had the privilege of gazing
at the most extensive and elegant ward
robe ever made or owned on this side Of
the Atlantic Ocean, and probably never be-
fore surpassed in the world outside the
homes of the nobility. in extent and CON-
pleteness. 1t is the property of San
Francisco lady. young and beautiful. whose
statuesque form they become most regaly.
She has just left for an eastern city, prepar-
atory to making the grand tour of Europe.
There were in the collection between thirty
and forty robes, of all kinds and of every
variety of rare device. Only the finest. the
richest, the rarcst. the most delicate mater

satins, velyets and snow laces. such as en-
vclOp the form like an encasing snowdrift.
Some Of them came from Worth. the Paris
man-inillner, at whose shop they were
ordered six months ago, by Miss Mary
Thompson, Il well-known importer of
ladies' costumes, whose good judgement
and rare faculty Of selecting and combin-
ing rich materials and exquisite colors has
done much to modify and cultivate an art.
istic taste in dressing among San Francisco
ladies. The collection shows many things:
That dress-making is becoming n fine art
that America will soon be able to set and
follow its own fashions. and that San Fran
cisco, in matters of elegant taste, is abreast
Of any city on the Continent. These cost
ly dresses are only parts of costumes, there
being hats, fans, handkerchiefs, gloves.
boots, slippers and hosiery to match.
Spread out over chairs, beds, touches and
carpets, the dresses filled half dozen large
rooms OF the owners large and handsome
mansion. Gathered into trunks. under
such harmless compression rs they will be
able to bear, they filed, perhaps, twenty
huge receptacles of the watering-place va
ricty, and occupied an entire baggage-car
on their way eastward. The entire ward
robe. with its attendant paraphernalia,
could not have cost less than 100000, not
including diamonds. Among the things
which will accompany this handsome lady.

ccnnoisseurs in precious stones. who saw
them when they were for some weeks eX-
hibited at n wellkAown jewelry establish

combined with fine taste in an infinite va

10000, 900 u Year saved.

Last year the income Of the Govern

world. With the products of orr mines

nothing was wanted but wise legislation to
give full employment to our forty millions
of people.
The example Of the Government in de-
to no longer waste its resources
is being well followed by every trading

The demand for the telephone is said to
be immense in Germany. Prince Bismarck
has had his study at his country seat. in
Narzin. connected with the Foreign Office
in Berlin. 1t is proposed to introduce it
into the army. in the deep mines OF Frey
burg and Classical, in the fire departments
OF cities, on short routes all over the con-

terrible disaster occurred at the Tienstin

refugees from the Northern provinces had
assembled. The building took fire, and OF
nearly 5000 people in the building, only
about 100 escaped.
The extremely cold weather that has
prevailed has had 4 fatal effect on the refu-
gees. many Of whom have been frozen to
death, while thousands are suffering from
insufficient accommodation and lack Of
food, which cannot be supplied in q,lanti-
ties to meet the demand.
Charles Budd. Of the China Inland Mis-
sion, at Wachung, who has recently visited
the famine-stricken province of Shensi.
writes u heart-rending account of the suf-
fer1ng he has witnessed. The Govern
ment's effort to supply food and assistance
is to great extent nul'itied by the dishon-
esty OF officials. Children are sold by
hundreds by their starving parents.
In the large cities of Houcheng and
Puching risings have occurred among the
people rendered desperate by seeing their
wives and children starving before their
faces. and many other outbreaks are re-
ported. In Huching the people beheaded
a Mandarin for specializing on their neces-
stiles. Cold has been unusually severe
throughout the country for several weeks.
