Home Decoration.

Open baskets for holding fancy-work
are of satin straw, lined with orange,
blue or scarlet satin, the little pockets
and cushions being embroidered in tiny
flowers, which Irvine around q mono

To restore old and dusty picture
frames, marred furniture, etc., use two
ounces of asphaltum to one quart Of
%turpentine, and one-half ounce of drag
on's blood. This gives a reddish tinge.
If too dark a red, add turpentine; if too
light, give several coats.
An easy way to make q daisy tidy is
to wind some white wool over three fin
gers, and tie it tightly in the middle
with linen thread, cutting both ends
and pulling them out and fattening
them. A little combed out tuft of yell
low worsted will answer for the flower
center. The daisies are sewed upon
narrow tape in rows, and joined togeth-
Ell in a square, diamond, or circular
form.
With a square of deep narrow felt
and o piece of plush, a lovely table
cover may be evolved in a few hours.
Cut a sufficient number of blocks from
the plush, or velvet if preferred, to
border two sides of the felt and paint
or embroider on each o different de-
sign; the borderless corner should also
exhibit the skillful touch of the brush.
Alternate blocks of mosaic patchwork
may be used with good effect.
Acase for nail and tooth brushes is a
convenient bit Of furnishing which costs
but a trile. Upon a hexagon cut
from a pine board eight inches square
attach a half circle of the board fitting
the center, in which are cut oriices for
the brushes. Cover the back with red
canton flannel, and over this place
white oilcloth cut out in pretty designs.
The semicircular leaf is protected by
oil-cloth and ornamented with a lam
brequin, its lining of red being displayed
through the open figures Of the oil
cloth. The material having been pre-
pared, the manufacturer of this bracket
will furnish pleasant employment for
the superabundant energies of a boy of
a dozen years on a stormy Saturday Of
ternoon.

Gov. Crawford was to-day notified
that. the Kansas military claim in
which he has represented the state,
has been allowed. This claim was
for money expended during and after
the war; and amounted to some $40,
600; $685., 900 of which is allowed. Gov.
Crawford has worked long and earnest
ly on this matter, and its ultimate sue
cess is another tribute to his ability,
and another claim upon the gratitude
of the state. The favorable action of
the department must of course be fol-

before her and she looked upon it as a
