Wall Ornaments.

The ordinary large palm leaf fan can be made very
decorative by painting in freehand group OF large
flowers upon its irregular surface, and tyenig bow
of satin ribbon around the handle Even well
selected decalcomane decoration. the coors are
subdued by an application Of yasolne and sprnk-
ling Of burnt starch powder, is not to be despsed
especially if the fan is to be placed over the door or
upon lofty shelf. A pretty ornament to hang
upon the wall is made by taking the riyets and out
side sticks from two cheap fans, which should be
alike in size and colors, then make circle OrWhee
ofthe fans by putting the riyet or piece of wire at
the top of the paper part Of the fans pasting the
sides together and leaving the sticks, which should
be polished black ones to project over the circle
like the spokes of wheel. Cover the center with
flat bow of ribbon and thread two or three rows OF
narrow ribbon in and out of the sticks. Black fans
with red bow in the center, and red blue and old
cold ribbon on the outside, are very handsome
The outer ribbons may be left off and the sticks tas
tened down by small brass headed tack driven
through riyet holes. In this way the sticks can be
used as a rack in which to stick visiting cards. or
small photographs.

The Window-Glass Workers of tl,el World
PITTsDURan, Pa, Dec. 1o.-The window
glass workers of tho world are now banded
together in an oath-bound union. The i'm
mense federation was completed in England
last Saturday. Ever since the International
Convention of Window-glass Workers was
held in Belgium, nearly year ago, agitators
have been forming assemblies in all parts OF
England. They met with some reverses,
notably at Sunderland, but success has at
last crowned their efforts. Mr. A. G..
Denny, formerly assistant secretary of the
home organization, was one of the foremost
organizers. He is in the employ of the In.
ternational Association. The officials of the
association here received intelligence yester-
day from Messrs. Denny and Frank, the lat
ter being the National President of the Eli
glish Union. Both STAGED that the organi-
cation of,the workers there was now COM
plete, embracing every skilled employe OF
the kind in the Kingdom. A head
quarters had been established at Sum
derland, the center of the window-glass
industry i'm England. The local unions
are well managed, and promise to become
powerful labor organizations. Pres
ident Isaac Cline, when speaking of the In
ternational Union, stated that the fedora
ton would undoubtedly prove beneficial TO
the craft and manufacturers. Trade, he
said, was only fair in this country and Bel
GUM, where the other branch of the Inter
national Association is located.
