The Fireplacs In summer.

The aching void of black and empty
fireplace in summer has proved source of
ANNOYANCE to many generations Of sensitive
housekeepers, and various ingenious con.
trivances have been evolved to render its
yawning biackness less oppressive. II
may be that practical unimaginatIve minds
can scarcely appreciate the possibility of q
fire ready laid in q prosaic crate being
made to look picturesque or artistic. Yet
an English writer enthusiastically describes
such cold fire apparently waiting the sp-
plIcation of the match. Slightly protrud-
ing between the lower bars was crumpled
piece of greenish tinted paper; over this
lay small faggot, with its binding loosed,
of dry twigs; upon this was judiciously
placed . lot Of clean, knobby coal, the
whole surface mounted by magnificent
yule log, carefully selected for its shape
and the picturesque distribution in its up
per surface of some moss covered broken
bark. Esthetic housekeepers, who are
puzzled to know how tc oil up their empty
areplaces In the summer time can try the
effect of this admirable device, worthy, &C.
cording to this writer's view, of beng
studied with advantage BY q painter Of
sill life.
