THE ART EXHIBITION.
Domestic Selri,lg Machine Rooms.

Quite crowd has been in atten-
dance at the novel exposition of Art
goods at the Domestic rooms, and the
surprise has been universal concern
ing the beauty and peculiar char
acter of the work shown. Ladies
are loud in their praise of the special
pieces which they are bound to de-
clare were accomplished by hand and
never could have been worked on a
sewing machine. After seeing the
operators themselves, who, by the
way, are in the main gentlemen, they
have mad to accept their explanations
Of how the thing was done and rest
content that anyone who might be a
good operator could acquire the same
facility, and they reluctantly admit
ted that the thing, though marvellous
to believe, was an actuality. Not
only are ladies interested in the OBJ
jects of art ON view, but gentlemen as
well, for so many beautiful and az
tistic things, which they can appre-
ciate, are shown, that it would be well
worth their while to drop in and see
them.
By interviewing the gentleman in
charge the reporter of the Chronicle
Telegraph learned that many of the
art pieces were produced by the Do
nestle Sewing Machine without any
attachment whatever. The machine,
just as it stands ready for any home
sewing, could, under dexterous
hands, bring forth most marvellous
effects.
Other pieces We're made by simply
adding the embroidery attachment
and others are still adding the under
braider. These are all that are
necessary to do the most intricate
work, and any lady or gentleman
operator can be taught, in short time,
to accomplish the same result as are
shown at this exhibit.
At a casual glance a few specimens
were impressed upon the reporters
mind, which lie vii! merely mention
en- p0ss0nt
A velvet screen embroidered in
gold represents a crane and its sur
roundings most perfectly, and it is
said to have been sketched and finish
ed in twenty minutes. Any lady do
ing this work by hand must occupy
days to gain the same result.
A lace curtain with applique of
fine embroidery and silk formed
delightful piece Of ornamentation
which would occupy weeks to pro-
duce by hand. This was accomplish
ed by the Domestic Sewing Machine
in an incredible curtailment of time.
A banner designed by Mr. Moon
Zone of the gentlemen in change,
exemplifying elaborate work wlthoTt'
attachments, gave the sightseer much
pleasure in tracing out its intricacies
and beauties.
A picture of lovely girls head
surmounted by a large Gainsborough
hat with long waving white plume
was done by machine work and en-
broidery attachment. Each line Of
feathers was carried out as perfect
ly as in the real article and each flower
looked natural enough to pluck.
Banners Of plush deliberately work.
ed in choicest designs and colors;
mantle lambrequins, whole suites for
window adornment, pictures, por-
traits, etchings, and every conceivable
thing heretofore accomplished by
painters and other artists, find them
selves reproduced in materials which
have always been considered prosaic
until it fell to the lot of the Domes-
tic Sewing Machine to give them
new artistic life.--Pittsburg Chronicle

The high price of eggs for the past two or
three years has given an impetus to the poul-
try business and many are building hen
houses and preparing to engage in the bust
ness on large scale. We notice numerous
items similar to the following from Belling-
ham, Mass. Eggs are very scarce a. Acc.
The dealers are supplied from Boston. The
people of this town are waking up to the
poultry and egg business as never before.
New henhousos and hencoops, and extensions
of old quarters are the rule. II studied into
and the details looked after, this simuliauc-
Gus movement will be profit to the owners
and beneficial to the public" Or this from
another town: "The poultry fever is raging
quite high here at present and many have
gone into the business quite extensively. A.
L. Brown is erecting large hennery and in
tends having several hundred hens" We
have no doubt that with great care and skill
full management poultry keeping on a large
scale may be made to pay. Neither have we
any doubt that mai lrity of all that un-
dertake it on large scale will quit it in a
few years, disguised with the business. hav-

truth is that it requires more Gaze than most
people are willing to give, aud more skill
than most people are possessed of to make

The Dairy Exhibit at New Orleans.

To Vermont DdirymeH :
The dairy exhibit at the approaching
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans offers to
us an opportunity which We cannot afford to
let pass by unimproved. Visitors will be
there from all parts of the world seeking
where they can best procure those articles
they desire and of tue best quality. New
channels of trade will be opened new mar
kets found, new customers secured OF all
the different exhibits none will BE- of greater
monetary interest or commercial importance
to Vermont than that of the dairy products.
There will be visitors from local. les where
good butter is not made, notably the South
ern States, Mexico and Csntral America,
which rghuully should be our markets. aud
if we take hold of the matter with personal
interest and individual effort we can make an
exhibit ereditable in amount and unsurpassed
IN quality, which will extend our market. in
crease the demand for our dairy products
and so make better prices to the pecuniary
advantage of every person in our state. We
cannot afford to be careless sud backward il
this matter. The great dairy states of the
west, with western push and enthusiasm, are
lavish of money aud hard work to secure
these advantages but if We do our duty and
wake up to the importance of the matter as
Vermont farmers and farmers wives can.
Vermont butter and cheese will have nothing
to fear III the competition. The dairy expo
sition opens Jan. 9th and continues 20 days
Liberal prizes are offered, and all possible
facilities afforded. Premium lists and circu-
lar OF instructions will be sent on application
