DECORATIVE ART.

Mahogany is the popular wood for
this season.
Cabinets and toilet tables of papier
mache are once more in use
A hat rack is provided with por-
truding and erect ovals of nickel
plated wire for silk hats.
Furniture may be painted the most
effective by rubbing down each coat
as is done in carriage painting.
A handsome effect is obtained by
covering the ceiling with cane strips
and the walls with mating. 1t 10
rich looking, yet 1t is cheap.
Drawing-room tables of unique ap-
pearance are made from coarse Irish
stalks of light greenish yellow and
bound by withes of red.
Very pretty curtains, which can bo
laundried and look as well as new ones
are made of white muslin with large
round dots the size of a silver half
dollar.
Broom handles gilded or wound
with pretty ribbons, suspended by a
cord and tassels or loops of ribbon,
are hung on the wall to lay pillow
shams over, at night.
A new color TO stain wood is a
rich violet, and the stain is thus made !:
The wood is heated with bath of
four and and one-half ounces of olive
oil, same of soda ash, and two and
one half pints of boiling water. 1t is
then dyed with magenta.
Have any OF you an old-fashioned
wash-stand, made of pine, which is
stored away in the garret? Ifso, get
II out and see what pretty article of
furniture can be made out oft. One
with a hole in the top for wash
bowl, bars on the side for towels and
a drawer and shelf below is the very
thing to convert into table for books
or music. Remove the back piece and
bars and nail a smooth board over
the top. Stain the whole very dark
color or an ebony. Cover both
shelves with dark olive cardinal
plush and put straight valance all
around the lower sholf. Finish the
top with chenille fringe.

BLOOMFIELD, Dec. 3l.-Having been
reader of your valuable paper for
years, and wishing your many read
ers to know something of the "Land
of Flowers," 1 will, with your kind
permission, give few items.
Bloomfield is the present county
seat of the new Lake Co., situated
on the south side of lake Harris,
eight miles from the little town of
Leesburg. We have a great many
Kentuckians in this section. l have
boon here just one week, and cannot
realize that this is Christmas. When
/ left Howell, the 10Th OF this month,
1t was one of those bleak December
days. On my arrival here we were
having delightful April shower,
mercury standing at 10 degrees.
Fruit-trees, flowers and vegetables
arc looking thrifty and nice. The
orange crop was short this season ;
hence the present high prices. We
struck farmers" are in fine spiiits.
Beans that are shipped TO New York
sell at 81 per crate. Cabbage are

llaye seen few grown. There are
now three steam boats running on
the lake, making connections with
Northern trains, both at Leesburg
and Lano Park. Any person coming
TO Florida should not fail to visit
Lake county.
Fearing this will find its way to
the waste basket, l will not spend
any time on windy tales."

l. NEWPORT NEWS is one of tho

INCREASED SAFETY, without
materially lengthening the pas
