"enameling" is a species of amateur work
that is all the rage As this pursuit may be
made very useful in its results, it is worthy
of attention. Enameling is generally applied
10 articles in plain wood that are bought un-
finished, or made from ones orders. Moorish
tables, hall chairs, little corner cabinets,
screens and stands are all the objects of this
species of decoration. Three coats of enamel
paint are usually necessary, and, as each one
must be smoothly rubbed down to make salts
factory work, ladies should be sure that they
have a good stock of both strength and
patience before engaging iDshe undertaking.
To show the extent to which enameling
may be utilized a sketch is given of a room
i'm which the woodwork of all the furniture
and decorative articles is enameled.
The pretty ingle work paneled with stained
glass is ornamented with fretwork rail at
the top. The seat is upholstered in old bro
cade and there are pretty curtains of art silk
at both ends. The mantle shelf and over
mantel are both ornamented with fretwork,
and the mirror is hung on a background of
plush. The writing table in the other corner
is convenient and pretty. The outside is
white, the inside pale blue, There is book
shelf on both sides and a drawer at the end.
The inside is divided into compartments for
stationery, The photo frame makes a pretty
ornament for the wall Ii takes half a dozen
cabinets and old china or pottery can he
placed on the little shelf. The screen is orna-
mented with two hand painted floral panels,
a couple of shelves for holding books or cup
of tea and silk curtains. One of the little
tables can be utilized for a work table; the
other can be used as flower stand, a table
or stool. Furniture is enameled in pale
blue, red and ivory, but white and ivory are
the two fashionable tints.

Secretary Halford and Pierce, WAC e:s
intimate friends, worked togethe- on The
Chicago lnter-Ocean, Halford as managing
editor and the latter as associate editor.
When Halford removed to Indianapolis,
Pierce became the editor, and headed Ohio
granger movement while he held that posi-
ton. The Farmers Alliance is now his
strongest supporter. He is a good editor,
and n novelist also, but, like Beechs, he
does not pride himself on his story writing.
Pierce is probably as well read on Dickens
works as any one on either continent Dick
ems Dictionary" is his most valuable book.

Dickens for its value and convenisncs.

Many people consider that roast turkey
lacks the finishing touch unless the stutfing is
made with oysters. Following is good
recipe for oyster forcemeat: Soak sufficient
stale bread in cold water to ill the turkey
and then squeeze it nearly dry in Il towel;
strip one quart of oysters through the fin
gers to remove the bits of shell, strain their
liquor and add il to the bread: slightly fry
the oysters in two tablespoonfuls Of hot but
ter; add them to the bread with the butter
In which they were fried, season the force
meat with salt and pepper, and use it for the
turkey. Instead Of the oysters any favoring
or seasoning may be used ia the stuffing.

Mr.. aIetcalf wished to have an article OH

not one Of those papers written by Il man who
had passed through tho territory of Utah,
but 4 serious study. For several weeks he
had been i'll correspondence with one of tue
elders Of the Mormon church
"All this letter writing does not advance
matters much" thought Mr.. Mctcnlf to him
self, 'one or two hours conversation would
settle tho thing"

way: "lt is only five days journey in the

rooms before they recovered. Mr.. Stewards
only daughter, who had witnessed the assault,
and had given the alarm, received such
nervous shock that she gradually lost health
and died.
The next occupant of tho house was Gen.
Belknap, Grants secretary of war after
Rawlins died, and for season it was the
social headquarters Of the Grant regime.
After the death Of Mrs. Belknap the general
gave up the mansion, and once moro it be-
came boarding house. But the story got
out that it was haunted and i'll fated, and,
notwithstanding tho fine location, with the
park in front and the White House in full
view to the south, people would not take the
rooms. For while the old mansion stood
unoccupicd. There was some talk Of remod-
cling it with mansard roof and other mod
ern improvements. Finally the government
took the mansion, and for dozen years used
it for the offices of the commissary general
while the new war department building was
going UP. Some months ago the commissary
general moved to tho new building, and since
then the house has been all elephant on the
agents hands. Mr.. James G. Blaine is the
latest one to take the mansion, having rented
it for term Of years at very low rent.
Thousands of dollars will be required to put
the mansion in shape, but for q cabinet house
the location is beyond comparison Nh Blaine
will live i'll the residence, which is within the
smallest radius from the White House. If he
and his family arc not snperstitious there
seems no reason why the mansion should not
prove satisfactory in every respect.

Tho newspapers are full of it, conversation
has no other subject. Passions arc let loose,
intrigues are ON foot, the most odous calum-
mics are circulated, men stop at nothing that
may give tho victory to their party. For
three or four weeks prior to the election, the
country is given over to professions, meet
ings, banners, stump speeches, torchllght
marches, etc As soon as Fate has pro-
uounced between tho candidates, calm is re-
tored, tho fray ceases, arms arc extended
only in handshakings, the vanquishc'l accept
their defeat with as much bravery as they
had displayed in the struggle, and every ono
goes once more about Ills business.

SO often described that it would be tedious to

shoulders to the White House. A caricature
has no value except when founded upon
