Room DECORATION Fashion in dress
DO not vary more quickly than fashion
IN room decorations, and every month
shows some new device for the bedizen-
ing Of our home. IL is impossible for
people TO adopt every novel freak I'm the
matter OF room ornament, and the best
plan Is that they should choose the ideas
that are the most suitable to their taste
anu the most easily adapted 70 their
materials and circumstances. We are
learning that houses TO be attractive
should be individual; and we may rest
assured that the fact that variety is
charming is as true OF this as it Il Of
many other matters. If Oueis paying

FLAX CULTURAL neglected Indus
try In tho United States is that of flax
growing and the manufacture of linen.
Forty years ago, nearly every farmer I'm
the country knew how to raise and pre-
pare lax for domestic use, and many
OF our fathers and mothers were to
some extent engaged in this manufac-
ture. Now however, besides a few
small mills in New York and New Jer-
sey, the business Is gwen over to for
elSn manufacturers. or the raw flax
used by the crash and thread mills.
1000 tons are imported, and 1000 tons
are home grown, chiefly in the north
eastern portion of the State of New
York. A considerable portion of the
imported is Russian, part, that of the
best, is Belgian, part Canadian. and
some Irish. What is required at this
time is, that our farmers attend to the
requirements of fertilizers and the ro-
tatiOn OF crops necessary TO grow the
nper TO perfection, and then sow the
proper amount of seed, Two or three
bushels per acre, pull IL before over
ripe, steep it, and spread it Just long
enough to separate the fibre com pletelV
and the present demand for flax may be
easily supplied at home. This is the
hrSt step, and If 1t can not be secured
without the assistance OF "a flax associa-
ton, such should be organized. The
Importation of raw flax is about 1000
tons annually, at cost Of about 81 -
20O, 900, the importation of linseed
about $4,000, 600 annually, and of linen
goods about SIS 900, 900 annually.
