A favorite design in embroidery is the
pink cactus blossom.
A late fancy is silver pepper pot made
in the shape of watering pot.
Plain wooden tops for sideboards are
now the rule, and marble the exception.
Antique oak is not much affected for
furniture and interior wood work of hous-

Water cress green and poppy red are a
recent fashionable combination of color.
Brass mounted oaken chests, black and
rich with age, are in demand tor hall fur
nishings.
Hammered brass coffee kettles are TAX
ing the place of coffee-pots on many a
breakfast table.
Very neat frames for water color paint
ings are made from polished oak with gilt
ornaments.
Birch bark scrap baskets trimmed with
ichens and moses, are among the latest
household novelties.
Nasturtiums, pansies, tulips and cbry-
santhemums are the favorite flowers for
painting on china.
Elephant gray leather is much in de-
mand for small wares such as purses,
card cases, music rolls, satchels. etc.
Polished floors and bright. warm rugs

Going 1t Blindly.
New York Letter. /


The anxiety for quick riches is fully ex-
pressed in the blind pools of Wall street
they are operated ON the distinct under
standing that no one save he who runs the
pool shall know its operations At first
glance it wouli, indeed, seem surprising that
any man would entru,t to another man any
considerable sum of money with which t.
operate as he pleased in Wall street Yet,
as in the case of an ordinary pool, there ar5
many Men who can ge0 many other men to
put up capital by merely saying that he is
going to run blind pool. The man who
gets up the pool is supposed to know just
what he is about and to possess information
on which he bases his transactions. No
doubt if Jay Gould were to go the round Of
his Wall street acquaintance, saying that
he was soliciting money to run q blind pool
in Western Union or Union Pacific, he could
raise s., 100000 in as many days The cash
would pour il to him like a cataract. Yet,
Gould would do as he pleased with this
money, and he would only be accountable to
the pool to the extent of saying that it had
been a failure and all the money was gone,
or 1t had been success and would pay q
dividend of so much per cent
Under the operations of blind there is
no advice to be asked or given; there is nc
res onsibility, or no explanation to be asked
All the money raised goes into one mans
hands, and he acts secretly and alone The
kings of the street are mystiied as to the
strange behavior Of a stock, not knowing
that the manipulation of blind pool is in
luencing it, He may buy and buy, anG
buy until no more stock is for sale, and it,
very scarcity will make it III demand Al
higher prices The street sees it advancing
and jumps to the conclusion that it will g
higher yet, and buys accordingly. There i
a rush for it, and the price leaps onwart
and upward When this condition of affair
| is reached the pools success is assured.
then may sell its holdings to the street a
