Making old Furniture.


 Truauage, although term probably unfa- miliar to many of our readers, nevertheless deserves to rank among the finer arts of modern civilization, such is the industry, skill and ingenuity with which it is carried out. Burns oottar mother was chiefly ad- nirable for the skill with which she ffgar'd auld things look maist as well as new," but the truqueur devotes himself, on the contra ", to the art of making new things look quite as good as old. The connoisseur in furniture of the present day is veil aware that for certain important qualities of sound ness, good workmanship and good taste that the "old is better," with valid reason also for his opinion. But the crowd, who have neither his leisure, his knowledge or his ex- perienee, naturally fall into the hands of the scientific experts of truquage, an easy prey to the spoiler.
 The stock-in-trade of the French truqueur and his English congener-quite expert as he-need not be large. Walnut juice-which gives an agreeable mellowness of tone-and nitric acid are neither of them expensive The latter initiates pretty closely the ravages of ants, and holes bored with fine auger easily give the worm-eaten appearance which appeals to the lover of the antique in carved furniture. The writer was informed by & workman's wife that her husband was one of those solely employed in the boring or auger business; but in Paris live worms are kept to do the work, and do it even better and to order, which is more surprising.

COnaRIUNICATIONS.

The National Den Mute College. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The National Deaf Mute college at Wash ington, D. O., was incorporated in 1865 by an act of Congress which provided for the buildings thereon for the higher education of the deaf and dumb. The spot finally selected as the site of the college was beautiful emi- hence forming part of the estate of the late Hon. Amos Kendall and situated on the out skirts of Washington
 The college is mainly supported by annual appropriations from Congress, but in the early days of the college this was not the case and private aid was successfully invoked in it's behalf. At first the number of students was quite small, but as deaf mutes all over the country began to recognize the advantages to be de- rived therefrom the number or those desir- ing to explore the hidden recesses of "the known and the unknown" increased two- fold. At the present time the accommoda- tions for students are rather limited but it is hoped that with the erection of new chemical laboratory, which is now in process of construction, there will be increased facil- ities tor new students.
 Any deaf mute of good character and having such command of English as will enable him to understand the ordinary text bOOhS IS auuu1GGSo dU u lG0 or S1OU per 8n- mum, said sum covering the cost of board and tuition. Apart from this student can by strict economy live upon from forty to fifty dollars year after his clothing has been given in. However, if the prospective stu dent is unable to pay for his board and tui- tion, as often happens, all he has to do is to forward statement of the case, with rec concentrations from such influential persons as he may chance to be acquainted with, to the Congressman representing his district, who will indorse it if it needs with his ap- proval and forward it to the Secretary of the Treasury, who will make arrangements with the president of the college for the students reception.
 For admission to the introductory class students are examined in the following named studies, and I would recommend thorough preparation in them: Arithmetic, grammar, United States and English history, geogra- phy, physical geography and natural philoso- phy.
 When we remember that this same college in it's early days was looked upon as an ex- pensive experiment., we have cause for grati- tude and admiration for those who in the face of all obstacles and discouragements made it what it is to-day-a credit and an honor to the government that sustains it and a blessing to the deaf and dumb

NOTABLE MEETING.

To-day conference of leading Republi- cans of Massachusetts is to be held in Boston for the purpose of considering the question of the saloon in politics. The meeting will be an interesting one, and will very likely have an important influence upon politics in the Bay State.
 This antl-saloon movement is not, as we understand it. intended to commit the Re- publican party in Massachusetts to prohibi- tion, but is based on the belief that the liquor traffic ought to be kept strictly within the bounds laid down for it's control and not allowed to be threatening factor in politics. There is no doubt that this belief is gaining ground very fast. And this tendency, as the Boston Advertiser very correctly remarks, has received considerable impetus from the very indiscreet conduct of the saloon keepers themselves, who, in many places, have as- sociated themselves into protective leagues and subscribed large sums of money for the avowed purpose of defending such of their associates as are brought before the courts, and of strengthening their position by the use of combined influences upon city and State governments. 'fSo general has this association become, and so powerful are its means of securing influence. that in ali our large cities it has come to be regretted fact that the saloons are the most powerful single political factor; and in city governments es- pecially, the men whose business it is to deal in intoxicating liquors have assumed in more ways than one, the ostensible control of votes and patronage"
 This Republican movement in Massachu- setts is in harmony with the action of the party in other States. In Kansas and Maine and Rhode Island It has adopted constitu- tional prohibition. In Iowa it has framed 8 rigid prohibitory law, with an injunction at tachment. In Illinois it has introduced and maintained high license. In Ohio it has passed tax law, which collects millions of dollars from the saloons and turns the sum to public uses, and in the process elimi- mates good many drinking places. And in several other States it has made strict laws for the control of the traffic in intoxicating liouOrs
