A HOUSE INSIDE.

A New York scribe, wandering the
other day through a heightened furni-
ture warehouse, was "charmed with the
elegance of the furniture-hangings and
other domestic ornamenture waich he
thoro. There oooobo!e .nl
cherry wood cabinets of har dsome de-
sign, elegant chairs with detached cush-
ions in velours, antique carved oak
chairs, plush bannerettes embroidered in
silk, salmon-colored water plush chairs.
q valuable chair of silk velours. with a
design of pomegranates, and Il beautiful
screen, with cupids surrounded by
flowers, painted in oil. Very fine arch
itectural wood work, and some exquisite
portieres are also to be seen.
The rendering of part of the legs of
furniture in brass, the terminals being
the claws of animals, has good effect.
The old fashion of decorating farni-
ture with under-glaze panels is again
coming into favor; a drawing-room
suite has small circular panels deco
rated with flowers in the upper rim OF
the chuir-backs, and larger panels of
various shapes with landscapes and
birds in the larger pieces.
Pretty wall decorations can be made
by brOnzing the common basS-wood
butter dishes and painting on them in
oil, keep the picture like II vignctte in
the hollow of the dish with the bronze
for rim.
Heavy, cumbersome furniture is not
to be endured by the public, and conse-
quently cabinet-makers have Il sense Of
discretion in thsir dies .gns, and are
rapidly introducing the lighter mode of
Louis XIV. time; the fancy in boudoir
furniture is to have tie wall paper,
draperies, portieres, and carpets TO cor
respond in color, while the chairs,
lounges, and fauteuils are upholstered
variously in plush of different but har-
monizing colOrS OF brocades of several
kinds; and many fancy chairs of cane
or bamboo, gilded or painted and cush-
Toned with plush or tapestry finely
fringed in Louis XIV. or XIV styles and
all sorts of fancy brass and onyx tables,

To John w. Mackay OF bonanza fame
is attributed the pathetic remark that
vast wealth brought with it, to him at
least, the cruel regret of being indiffer-
ent as to whether he won or lost at
poker. This lack of interest in one OF
the nations leading intellectual pas
times is not shared, however, by all our
millionaires All the Vanderbilts, the
Casual Observer is informed, with the
exception of Cornelius, who does not
incline to any speculation OF that sort,
take keen interest in the fascinating
game. Nothing pleased the late Will
lam II. more than to sit down to a quiet
little session with Willie X, Fred, and a
couple of intimate friends, and his de-
light was undisguised when he succeed
ed in besting his heir and namesake,
Willie. The latter. by the way, has
a phenomenal head for figures and
remarkable memory, so that at
the end of any game he can tell. almost
without conscious effort, what every
player has lost or won. A game OF
poker with his cronics was one of the
favorite relaXatlons of the old C0mmO-
dOre also. NesO York Graphic.

The Piece.Price system.

The piece-price system has been tried
at the state prison in Trenton. So far
the authorities state that it does not
work well. II is critically examined
Just now. because this is the first time
which it has been employed. II is stated
by the state Gdzette that the contractors
in bidding sent in their complicated
figures, and it turns ont that the highest
bidders are getting their LABOR for less
than 80 cents per day. This is not true
of all the bidders-some are giving n
little more than they used to. But it is
clear that the system cannot lie con
dcmncd upon such short trial. One

a novel enterprise is to be set afoot
early in the new year in England where
by an opportunity will be afforded to
those who have money and leisure TO
enjoy travelling in peculiar way. A
vessel has been chartered which will
carry some fifty first-class passengers,
accompanied by an artist.a photograph
er, geologist, Il mineralogist, bota-
mist, a zoologist and others, who will
explore and collect, wherever opportuni-
ty offers, but more especially in districts
practically mvisited hitherto. The first
voyage will last twelve months. There
will be no hurrying over ground where
anything valuable to science or art can
be obtained, and at intervals the voy-
ayers will have the opportunity of break
ing up into sections and landing when
either the beauties of rivers or the life
and scenery of coasts can be studied and
enjoyed. The collections made ON the
voyage will be carefully preserved for
subsequent exhibition or for presenta-
ton to museums.

with the two radiant beauties in the
centre bearing Il large tray on which lay
magnificent carp breathing, and with
his scales shining as if just drawn from
the water. The master of ceremonies
advanced and receiving the tray from
the mako set it on the mat and turned
it slowly around that all might see the
living picture. As the mako retired all
leaned forward to watch the noble carp
as it lay quivering on its bed of moss
and crosses, with background of green
cry like true japanese garden. The
carp with its shining scales, green and
silvery shadings, and fine outlines is a
favorite study for japanese artists. and
on screens, kakemous, and fukusa they
never tire of painting. inlaying. and
embroidering it. and like everything
else in their art ii has symbolism that
makes it doubly favorite. This fea-
ture of serving the living fish nj a feast
is one of the rare old customs of Japan
that foreigners seldom experience in
this era of change, and we had thrills
of satisfaction 1T witnessing the grand
scene, At the same time with human
shivers at Watching the slow breathing
of the dying carp. In the deftcst way
morselS and flakes of raw fish were
lifted from lis back and passed to the
company, and with fear of Mr.. Bergh

pinkiSh yellow. dipped them in SOY and
ate them. Ii was worse than canni-
baliSm in II sense. and we tried To think
that the carp before us had not been
touched with knife, but that bits from
the back of another fish had been cum
ningly concealed behind il and passed
TO us. The cpicures meanwhile made
all the Japanese noises expressive of
appreciation rs they fingered on the
delicious morsels. A sudden turn or
jar of the tray, or, us was inhumanly
insisted in discussing this feature of the
feast afterwards. a sprinkle of salt,
caused the carp to suddenly writhe,
double and quivcr with agony and show
the great hollow i'm its back from which
the flesh had been slowly cut. Con-
WINGED then that we had been eating
that very carp dropped my chop-sticks
guiltly and felt that iish's eye fixed
reproachfuliy on me'for rs long rs il
remained in the room and haunting me
