workman's leisure shows itself as the
lower side of the shelf of as neat a writing
desk as the contriver Of novelties has often
devised. JoInted silver bars drop with it
for legs TO rest on, and where was the pict-
ure is now q second landscape, framed
about with tiny drawers and racks for
paper and crystal inkstands swinging IN
and out OF cubby holes. The pretty
cheat seems specially planned TO allow some
Jack-of-all-trades girl Of the nineteenth
century to pose as literary or artistic, &C
cording to the visitor she happens to be en-
tertainIng.
z The jewel table is coming to be favorite
bit Of furniture for the bOudoir. 1t is a
Vernis Martin reproduction, usually; small,
gilt, spindle-legged and painted. Mrs.
Ogden Foelet and Miss Hargous, the dark
eyed belle, have genuine antiques instead of
modern copies.
The standard clock arrogates itself much
dignity this winter. A fine example was
sent recently to Mrs. William E. Hoyt's
house in Twin Island, in the sound. Mrs.
Hoyt may be better remembered as Janet
Chase, the youngest daughter of the Chief
Justice, whose artistic tastes have found
expression in many ways. The clock,
which is in mahogany mounted with gilt,
was meant for the library. The top was
spired like d cathedral, the head of monk
in gilt LOOKING down on the scenes passing
below. Smaller monks heads were ranged
i'll circle about the face; the weights,
which were exposed, were ponderous and
gilded, and the pendulum, which swung in
full view in the open case, was a radiant
sun, The clock stood probably eight feet
high. A clock somewhat similar, but in
oak with silver mounting, was priced re-
Gently and cost $3.50.
Antique oak is the wood most in
favor for the hall and the dining room, and
some of it looks as if it might have been
brought from medieval palaces, with its
carvings of lions heads supported on lions
claws. High oaken settees are topped by
large mirrors held by caryatides. Occa-
sionally fine piece shows no carving or
ornamentation. the whole effect resting on
the dark massive wood and the simple,
almost rude but effective form. All fur
niture, even the cheapest, shows better
designing, and with good taste little
money will buy really better things than
could ever be obtained for an equal sum
before. ELIZA PUTNAM HEAToN.

The New Gold Fields of the World.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.


From the San Francisco Bulletin.
One of the first African explorers who
made his way across that continent records
that at one place in the far interior the
natives were using placer gold in their old
muskets as substitute for lead shot, The
former was worth no more to them than
lead, and the inference of the explorer was
that the gold must be abundant, as the
natives obtained it without any great exer-
ton. Recent accounts of gold discoveries
in the Transvaal republic of South Africa
go far to confirm the theory that the gold
mines yet to be explored in South Africa
may be as productive as those were in Cali
fornia or Australia. One town has sprung
up-JohanDesburg- the edge Of the gold
fields that now contains 40, 900 inhabitants
The yield in six months of the present year
of these mines has been "a, 100000. These
mines are several hundred miles beyond the
famous diamond mines at Kimberly. The
latter mines are already connected with the
sea coast by a railroad. Miners are now
fiocking to the gold mines in the Transvaal
republic In great numbers. In all such
mining excitements there is a great deal of
fiction mixed up with the facts. But far
beyond the Transvaal republic, in Nashua
land, there are reports OF wonderful discov-
cries, surprising In richness any heretofore
known. The natives are extremely hos
tile to the whites. But the latter are push
ing on to these mines If the gold is
there, it may be assumed that no native
hostility will keep the miners out. The
latest theory is that the real Ophir is in
Mashuna land. But it may be nosed that
Ophir is always moved along to the richest
mines that are found. However, on the
theory that Solomon procured his gold for
the temple from the southwest coast of
Africa, Ophir might as we'll be located in
the mysterious Nashua land as elsewhere,
until the next famous discovery is made In
Africa. Nothing of consequence has for
some years been reported about gold in
Central Africa. Vague accounts are given
from time to time of natives who have both
gold and ivory to exchange for goods
Africa, as collaborating country, is virgin
ground. The theory has long prevailed
that it is the richest gold country of the
world. This theory is partly supported
by tradition and in part by such ac-
to time by explorers. The isolated traveller
could DO little in the way of gathering in
formation about the mineral resources of
the African continent. That was not his
business. These early explorers only Incl
dentally mention the finding of gold, as if
it we're really of no great Importance in
comparison with other objects to be at
tanned But whenever the fact Is clearly
demonstrated that there are great and rich
gold fields in Africa, nothing in the climate
nor the hostility of the native population
will keep back those who are in search Of
the golden fleece. The discovery of the
vast gold fields in Africa might be disas-
trous to the natives, but it would introduce
a crude civilization, the pioneer Of a still
better one, which will one day take posses
sion of the entire African continent
