Rnps and 0arnats.

The present fancy for pushes and
velvets that is seen in dress fabrics,
millinery and upholsterings prevails al
SO as regards carpets. The consequence
is an increasing demand for Wilton
and velvet carpets and an increased
production for the Autumn and Winter
trade. The tendency in New York in
all carpets for parlors and bedrooms is
to floral decoration in rich, yet deli
cate colors, on olive. old gold, ecru or
ivory grounds. The floral decoration
Is generally in the form of loose sprays
rather than set bouquets or garlands,
and the effect while strong, is at the
same time light and graceful. Carpets
for halls and dining-rooms come in rich
dark colors. overlaid with Persian and
India designs. Stair-carpets naturally
partake Of the character of hall-car-
pets, and are consequently dark. The
borders to carpets are made to contrast
with the carpet more than has been the
style heretofore. There is q tendency
now to cover the entire floor, though in
many houses carpets are still laid SO as
to expose q border of marquetry or 9th
or hard wood work. In Indian carpets,
the ALLOWABLE carpets are in great de-
mand; these come in olive, greens, and
bric-a-brac reds. Body brussels are
out this season in greatly improved pat
terms, and are having good run. So
are American moquet carpets. which
come from this firms own factories,
which are sold at 81. 40 per yard. In
grains offered this year. from their SUI
perior quality, have likewise gained in
favor. A decided Improvement these
are the reversible ingrains, both sides
of which are equally well finished.
The Masulipatan rugs are among popu-
lar India goods, coming as they do in
usual sizes. They have ivory ground
overlaid with deep rich colors. A want
long felt among large class are rugs of
good coloring and pattern in moder-
ate cost This want is now supplied by
q large and varied assortment OF Amer
ican-made rugs in convenient sizes.
Conspicuous among there rugs of home
manufacture are the imitation Smyrna
rugs, which closely resemble the orig.
inals. and the reversible ingram rugs.
The last mentioned come in sizes by
y feet and 8 by ~ feet, and cost 90
and $40 apiece.

From all accounts California Is
going to have II great wheat crop next
year. The crop for 1882 Is computed
at 30 per cent. above that of 1880 or
1881. If no accident or catastrophe
arises to destroy the hopes of the
farmers of the golden state, they look
for a yield of sixty million bushels.
putting the average crop at about
fourte cen bushels to the acre.
There Is a poor outlook SO far for
the Ice crop. There Is no ice In the
Hudson at present. The ice men
must have two weeks at least of con-
tinuous cold weather with the Their.
mometer at or near zero, to make ice
thick enough to cut. The companies
have at least 100000 tons up the
river. The total consumption of New
York city the past season was about
zoo, 900 tons.

Vanishing Furniture.

Be careful In vanishing not to 60
over the same place twice, as In "wash-
ing" water color, and for the same
reason; that Is to say, you may take off
instead Of putting on. and 1t Will look
patched, or like seam that shows the
stitches. In vanishing, as in painting
take the greatest care to have your
brushes clean. Do your work quickly.
Make up your mind before you begin
and mediate for the next time when
you have laid down your brush.
Always buy vsrnish. Never attempt
10 make it yourself. it Is dangerous
process. In vanishing furniture first
make the work quite clean, then fill up
the knots or blemishes with the same
color; see that your brush Is clean and
free from loose hairs; dip your brush in
the varnish. stroke 1t along the wire
across the top of your varnish pot; give
1t . thin coat; let it stand in o moder-
ately warm place to dry.
A Sealing Wax Varnish for Chairs or
Light Articles-R.duce two ounce
stick of wax TO coarse powder: pour
q quarter Of . pint of spirits Of wine
on 1t Tin bottle); let 1t gradually dis
solve without heat, shaking the bottle
occasionally till all Is dissolved. Very
much depends on the goodness Of your
sealing wax. You my vary the colors
by using different colored wax. As this
varnish dries very quickly, 1t should
not be made until It. Is wanted for use.
There Is, Of course. no danger in COM
pounding this varnish. ID
To Polish Varnish-Put two ounces
Of tripoli into an earthen pot or basin,
with water sufficient to cover it, then
with Q piece Of tine flannel four times
doubled. lay 1t over q piece OF cork
Rubber and proceed TO polish your var
Pish, always wetting 1t with the tripoli
and water. You will know when the
process Is complete by wiping part Of
the work with q sponge aud observing
whether there Ii o fair and even gloss.
Clean of with bit of mutton suet and
fine -four. Be careful not to rub the
work too hard nor too long, but only to
make the surface smooth and even.
French Method of Polishing-With o
| piece of fine pumice stone and water
pass regularly over the work with the
grain until the rising of the grain /.
down, then with powdered tripoli and
boiled linseed oil polish the work to {
bright face. This will be very superior
polish, but it requires considerable
time.
Green Wax-Melt one ounce Of bees
wax and add half an ounce Of verditer
let the pipkin be large enough. as !
will Immediately boil up; stir 1t vel
and add one-eighth Of an ounce 0
rosin; 1t will be sufficiently hard and Fl
for use.
Use no perfume of any kind to coun
teract the odor of the paint; this will
make matters worse. Admit fresh al
freely every day, working, II possible
in fine weather.
In painting wood. use an easel t
hold your wood with an upward slant
before which you may sit comfortably
and rest your hand on mahl stick

too large to place on your desk wit

Lobster Spearing in Canada.

This sport is pursued in the Indian
fashion, by torchlight. A dark, calm
night and falling tide are the first
requisites, and the crew of the canoe
must consist of three-one to row, one
to hold the torch so that its light viii
fall through the shallow water and light
up the bottom so as to show the lob
sters crouched among the seaweed, and
last, but not least, the spearer, armed
with long wooden spear, which it re-
quires considerable skin and practice to
drive down, so that the two prongs win
close over the Holsters back, capturing
him firmly, while leaving his body UNI
injured. It is a sport both exciting and
picturesque, as the boat creeps along
under the shadow Of the bank and the
torch casts Rembrantish light on the
occupants and on the overhanging trees.
The captive Holsters sometimes make
very unpleasant occupiers of boat,
and 1t requires great equanimity to feel
them crawling about ones feet.

+" Postum"


Among the negro aphorisms which
compliment the cunning OF the opossum
are the following: Oars right sharp
good schoolin' In de tail Of . 'possum;
nebber let 60 . thing as dar's chance
lef." "De coon puts up de bes' fight,
but de 'possum is heap de smarter an
10 got de bes' edication." An anecdote
told by correspondent Of Forest and
Stream humorously illustrates these
two aphorisms:
Our barber is six feet in height, and
Is passionately fond Of hunting. To
enjoy this fascinating pastime he will
mount anything in the shape OF horse
flesh.
Not long ago Lewis determined to go
hunting. After seeking In vain to OBJ
tain horse he hired q reflective mule
from q colored brother. Mounted, his
long legs almost touched tho ground,
as the little mule cantered along.
Lewis was in high spirits. The
moon, ut her full, shone in resplendent
glory. His well-trained dogs at his
heels bayed joyously over the prospect
of race after some cunning old fox.
Soon the oldest dog takes sniff OF
the ground. and announces by deep
mouthed bay that he scents prey, and
away he goes. followed by the whole
pack.
Lewis, thanks to the activity Of his
mule, keeps we'll up. Suddenly the
dogs fercely bay something in an old
Lewis rides up to find large opossum
seated In the forks of the fallen tree,
growing defiance at his foes. Encour-
aged by the presence of their master
the dogs seize and drag the prey to the
ground.
Visions of "baked 'possum and tater''
floated through Lewis brain so wildly
that he dismounted and rescued the
'possum from the hounds.
Knowing the creatures art Of feign-
ing death, he determined to break his
neck. This he thought he had done,
and satisfied that the brute was dead,
he tied him on behind. and proceeded
on his hunt. He had not gone far be-
fore his little mule stopped short. and
seemed to reflect moment.
