ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.

Fashions i'm Finishing and Furnishing.
Chairs of falence or pottery are liked by
many for halls.
Many screens have silk curtain hanging
upon a rod in the place of the customary
panel.
Brass handles OF elegant and varied forms
are attached, instead of tassled cords, to the
lower parts of blinds, for drawing them
down.
For upholstery, raw silk fabrics, unless of
very superior qnality, are not durable; the
cOlOrS easily fade and cause the whole to
look defaced after very little wear. Silk
plain or brocaded; the latter is the most
serviceable, as the pile does not become as
easily hattened down. Most gorgeous are
the silk damasks brocaded with velvet in
contrasting colors. For real hard wear and
service nothing can be chosen to last as well
as wool plush. The pile does not hatten,
and when selected OF dark maroon or gar
net shade will contrast well with almost any
surroundings.
The French tapestry, in rich, sober hues,
frightened with gold and silver thread, makes
an elegant curtain without either bands or
embroidery. The width, fifty inches, is quite
sufficient for portiere to a single door. and
in price ii ranges from s.. % to 81 per yard.
A beautiful design can be purchased even for
the smaller sum. Grape cloth, handsome and
durable, is of the same width and sells for
$3.50 the yard. while the old-fashioned dam
ask of unlimited wearing power with which
our ancestors covered their furniture and
hung their windows appears as novelty I'M
der the high-sounding name OF Renaissance
drapery costing from 81 to "a ward.
For lighter window draperies are seen
scrim, Madras, and, daintiest of all, China
silks. The last are perhaps less seryiceable
than a wash goods, but used as inner cur
tains with outer ones OF scrim or white Mad
ras, they produce beautiful effect, and are
hot liable TO fade. They retail at from sixty
cents to 81 a yard. Cheese-cloth, unbleached
muslin, white canton flannel, silesia, Turkey

The Coke strikers Gain Their Point.

character that notices have been posted at all the
workings that work will be resumed on Monday
next at the wages paid before the reduction Of
December last, which means the grant of the 10
per cent advance asked by the strikers. The En-

especially at Norwood, where they say they will
not return to work until all the prisoners are lib

CRUISE OF THE SHIP -HAPPY.'
BY TIE LATE nELEs IAcksos c.H.H'9


The craft had the air OF a something foreign,
As she lay at the wharf, among the rest
The care the Strive" the Watch" and the
Familiar names that had stood long test.
Their ropes we're all tsHt, their sheets set full,
Sailors in line all ready TO pull,
The Happy" had not a man On her deck;
Who was TO hinder her going 10 wreck?
They were laughing at her all over the town;
They said she'd not even an anchor down;
Save o foolish, shining banner to fling,
Silken and bright, and ft for king.
The Happy" Moline OF date. or place;
she seemed 10 belong to an time and space
Win her subtle magic charm and grace.
As if magnet drawn, some steps drew near her;
No power il seemed that they had 10 choose.
Bresthless they went, first one, then another.
"Hal We had not moment 10 lose ~
Cried one as he leaped on the snowy deck.
What was 20 hinder their going TO wreck
IL was all so strange. Dear Love. are we dead?"
A trembling girl looked around, and said.
''Hushi no. cried her lover. Beginning to
liver'
As he spoke, they felt the anchor give,
And The silken banner fiuttering out.
High overhead rang laughing shout;
Invisible hands brought the ship about,
While the rest were Juggling with hands and
To get under way, the Happy" with ease,
Sailed past them all into sunny seas.
Into sunny seas: but they can not reckon,
Nor reckon or guess how long ago;
For logs are not kept on board the Happy
And the DameS of years they no longer know.
One thing is sure. When they sailed away
Their hair was brown, and now it is gray;
so, they think, If the truth were known and told,
They've been cruising long, and are getting old.
And the harbor must be near at hand,
Where the ''Happy's'' passe myers will land,
Some storms they have had that swept the decks;
The sea all around was strewn with wrecks
The Strive the labor" the Watch" and the
Care"
They'd not so much as time for prayer,
Twas piteOus sight 10 see them there.
But steady and safe they know not why,
Her banner lighting the darkest sky.
The Happy sailed triumphantly by;
The Happy, f" with no line or date or place;
Her orders cover all time and space,
Thanks be 20 God for this gift OF His grace.

Here two and sixty men we show,
Like soldiers standing in row;
But If the central one retire,
IT breaks, yet leaves q pair entire.
And, what j think is far more strange,
Those that are left to women change;
And stranger still, if that can be,
Not sixty-One but sixty seel
Why, j am man, and can believe
That Adams rib sufficed for Eve;
But that it takes a man complete
Head, body, breeches, soul and feet
And yet, ere woman stand entire,
Another fraction will require,
Why, by this manly beard OF mine,
And every masculine design,
Reason and pride alike combine,
And at a rib draw Faiths line.
And yet, aiaSl to outer view,
This riddle stands complete and true.
