sn,,mor Fire Place Decoration.

Tasteful decoration for the fire place in summer is a necessity if room is to be really pleasing and artistic. That this is diff icult to arrive at, witness the old fashioned cascades of yellow, blue, pink and green pa per, the balls of muslin or silk ravelings and like contrivances. The newest and most fashionable decorations are fire screens, prominent among which are the Japanese, consisting of rather high and narrow pa per panel framed in bamboo. These show all sorts of curiosities in the way of birds, figures, foliage and the hundred and one quaint devices we are Accustomed to look for in Japanese designs Very largo fans have also attained popularity of late years for this purpose, and even tho gorgeous paper um- brellas have been pressed into the same ser vice.

FIG. 1-ROPE ARD MEIHOD OF I'll lNe-
 To perform the operation are required rope, a stanchion and a saw. Procure twenty five feet of one half inch rope and fasten two three inch rings to one end by passing the end of the rope through the rings and braiding 1t into the rope again, issl similar manner to splicing.
 A kitchen saw answers the purpose fairly well, provided it Is sharp. strong and moderately fine A regular dehorn ing saw differs from a kitchen one in hay ing stronger back and thicker and narrower blade It is thus less liable to break The blade being narrower the di rection is more easily changed while saw ing The blade can also be reversed. so as to saw while pulling toward you in stead of pushing from you, as is the case with an ordinary saw
 If a strong stanchion Is not at hand, set two strong posts, eight and one half feet long. four feet apart and three feet in the ground Set the posts securely The stanchon must be strong Fig ?, drawn to the scale of one half inch to the foot, will assist in making one The timber used is two by six inches. and may be hard pine or equally strong material The lower edge of the top cross piece is five feet from the ground It is best to have the stanchion this height so as to be able to raise the head of the animal well up, as it is thus more powerless. The side of the stanchion next the animal is planked up two feet from the ground. This helps to prevent the animal from running through the stanchion while attempting to catch him. and holds his neck up if he throws himself, as animals are very apt to do.
