cane-seateG chair Is remGdeled in this
way. Gid with metal paint and cush-
ion with silk patchwork OF embroidered
brOadcloth. Strips of canvas or buriap
are first tackled in the seat of the chair
and the cushion is attached by means of
fancy-headed brass tacks and gimp
braid. 1t seems to be quite the proper
thing to have white chair adorn the
parlor.
An old rocker painted white, orna-
mented with fine lines of gilt and hav-
ing soft cushion of yellow material,
complies with the caprice of fashion.
1t is charming fashion to have a small
table of similar deScription-White and
gold-stand beside the rocker. The
table is graced with a tiny vase of
Wandering Jew, a favorite author, and
perhaps bit of dainty needle work.
Wandering Jew fiouriShes beautifully
in vases or bottles, asking nothing more
than liberal supply of water, in return
for which it produces vigorous growth
of exquisite green.
A jar of unique design is made with
the aid of old postage stamps. Stamps
of ali iption-foreign and United
States-are glued to the jar promIscu-
Ously, at all angles. The jar is first
divided into four broad and
four narrower vertical sections. The
former are entirely covered with
stamps, the latter are decorated with a
simple painting, or in case that is out of
the question. these spaces are decorated
with tasty decalco manias. The lid is
also covered with stamps. Finally, the
whole is finished with coat of varnish.
The odd beauty of such jar is beyond
the comprehension of the Imagination
1t must be seen to be appreciated.

lace Is yellow and spotty try the ben
zine process. Begin by covering a
smooth board with two thicknesses of
flannel; then pin the lace smoothly on
it and apply benZine, freely dabbing it
with soft cloth.
For specially obstinate spots, lay on
bit of linen and pour on the benzine
until it is soaking wet; Then press 1t
down firmly against the lace, changing
to a clean spot as the dirt comes
through the cloth. AS the vapor of the
benZine is highly inflammable. it is
much better to do it in the open air. At
all events keep away from the fire, or
you may have an explosion. When the
dirt is removed take the lace from the
board, lay it smoothly betWiXt the folds
of towel, and put it in the sunshine
for twelve hours, after which it will
look like new and have no smell about
it. This process is the best for very
fine laces.
One much less tedious is to wet your
lace in clean soft water, after shaking
out the dust and picking it into straight
lengths. Then rub good white soap on
1t, taking care not to crumple it into a
mass. When it is well soaked put it
loosely into a glass vessel full of soft
water, and set it where the full SIM
rays will fall on it for twelve hours.
Rinse in clear water, being careful not
to rub or squeeze. but to lave the lace I'D
and down. If it is not clean, soap it
again, aud sun for another day. Rinse
through three waters, fold fiat and press
between soft towels Instead of wringing
or squeezing. Pull out each scallop be-
tween the fingers, fold again, and elan
hard for five minutes. Put clean
cloth on the ironing-board, pin the lace
in shape on it, pin to each point after
smoothing it with the hand. Let it re-
main until dry.
Never let an iron touch lace. 1t is
little short of proclamation. Starch i'm it
is the abomination of desolation: that
is, lace for wearing; A trifie improves
lace curtains, and keeps them clean
longer. Soap and sunshine will clean
them beautifully. Pin them out to dry
upon sheet stretched over the carpet.
after you have dipped them in thin
starch and pressed as much out of it as
possible. For ecru curtains. color the
starch with hay tea made by sleeping a
pound of timothy in two gallons of boil
ing water.
Black lace may be renovated by wash
ing in stale beer, or in cold coffee. let
ting it dry, then rinsing lightly in cold
water. pinning smooth. and drying as
quickly as possible. To stiffen it use
loaf sugar dissolved in warm, not boiling
water. Take care not to have it too
syrupy or your lace will be sticky.
Water in which raw Irish potato has
been grated is good for lace skirts, or
anything where an enduring stiffness is
requisite

Never draw torn edges rudelv together.
1t will only occasion a new tear. and

borderings, the cords, the tassels, the
lining and mounting. If one cannot
mount ones work very neatly. and, In
fact, as well as professional mounters,
it is much better to entrust it to the lat
ter. At some of the work societies the
members, few years ago, made up"
their work in very indifferent style,
but that is all changed now: practice
has brought them to it in quite mas
terly way. Now, if they can do it, there
Is no reason why other ladies should not
attain the same skill by patience and
perseverance.
ladies should follow the plan adopted
by one of our best schools of needle
work-viZ., use for their finishing
touches the same silk with which the
embroideries are carried ut. OF course
this method will not answer in all cases:
some kinds of silk would get rough and
tangle, or crinkle and catch the dust
easily, but those employed by the work
erS of the Oriental school do nothing of
the sort; they fail smoothly aud wear
well. Cords are not used at the school.
nor are frllls. Intead of these, hand

strands OF silk. is used, and the effect is
delightful. For the drawstrings of
opera, carriage and work bags the same
plat is chosen in place of strings of rib
bon OF cords. Then, again. the tassels are
not sewn on to the drawstrings; they are
formed with the ends left of the silk
plat: these are tied round tightly until
they assume the shape of tassels. Some
times silks of several different cnlors
are used for the plat; they correspond
always with the embroidery. For in
stance, an opera bag of terra Gotta satin
lined with pale shade of terra Gotta
corah. The embroidered pattern is
done in shades of gray, green, and gold.
The plait and tassels are of tie same
shades as the embroidery, but fewer are
used, one of deep smoke, one of pale
green, and one of gold; about two
thirds of the plat is of smoke-gray,
Which is charming contrast to the
terra Gotta. The Innings are shorter
than the satin bags; they are loose be-
low the drawstring, but are just sewn
to the center OF the bottom of the satin.
This pulls up the latter, and makes ii

fine-checked tweed of a dark maroon

add dignity to the bearing These boas

purpose to add to the grace and beauty
of wOman's face.
A woman of the slender type, with
rather a pointed chin. was quite amazed
at her improved looks with one of these
same cocque's boas wound round her
neck. The boa belonged to black hat
trimmed with the same feathers. The
set was $40. She had not intended to
spend SO much money, but the sight of
herself in the long glass decided the
question and the set was taken without
looking at other hats. The boa was the
objective point and not the hat. Indoors

decisions are prompt and clear. He seems
to take particular delight in quoting Demo-
cratic precedents for his rulings. This dis
arms opposition and gives him clear field.
He can state n question or elucidate a
knotty point of parliamentary law as clearly
as any man in the House. Burrows has
blue eyes, straight brown hair and we'll
trimmed whiskers. He is the Chairman of
the Committee on Levees and Improve
ments of the Mississippi River, and Is
second on the Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Allen of Michigan is another inter-
esting presiding officer. He was Chairman
of the Committee of the Whole during the
consideration of the Southern Claims Bill
some weeks ago. The bill came up in the
morning hour. This gave two days for its
consideration. A point OF order arose as to
certain of the claims. 1t was asserted that
they were not properly in the bill. Allen
allowed the discussion of the point of order
to occupy the most of the time allotted for
the consideration of the bill. His action
aroused MIR. Enloe of Tennessee, who is
member Of the Committee on War Claims.
He became indignant because the Chair
man of the Committee of the Whole al
lowed the debate to continue instead of
rendering a decision. Finally he arose
one night and gave notice that he would
oppose all pension claims unless decision
upon the point Of order was promptly made
and fair show given to the bill. The mat
ter was finally compromised and Enl0e was
satisfied. Mr.. Allen comes from Ypsilanti.
He is a lawyer, 90 years old, and is serving
his second term.
An exceedingly clever presiding officer Is
Hon. James ODonnell of Michigan. His
face is the personifcation of good nature.
Business moves slowly but firmly when he
holds the gavel, and he gives universal sat-
isfaction. O'Donnell is a printer, and the
editor of the Jackson Citizen. He is an es-
pecial favorite with the new members, who
secure recognition without difficulty while

General Charles II. Grosvenor and Hon.
Edward P. Allen of Michigan. Ben But
terwOrth, Hon. Thomas j. Henderson,
Hon. Bishop w. Perkins of Kansas, and
others have also occupied the clair.
Il seems to be an unwritten law that no
ex-Speaker shall be called to the chair.
Samuel j. Randall never presided in COM
mttee of the whole in the Fiftieth Con-
gress, nor has General Nathaniel P. Banks
filed the chair in this Congress. Roger Q.
Mills never yields the gavel. 1t is under
stood that he does not fancy the honor.
Major Mckinley is never called to the
chair. AS the leader of his party his place
Is upon the floor.
Judge Lewis E. Payson was chosen to
preside in committee of the whole during
the debate on the Mckinley bill. He is a
man of commanding presence and of I'M
failing courtesy. He gained the confidence
of the House at the outset and had very
little difficulty in maintaining order. The
Judge has ford face, fringed with whis-
kers tinged with gray, and resembles pre-
siding elder. He was born in Providence.
X. l.. and is nearly 80 years old. He was
once judge of a county court, and is now
serving his fifth term in Congress. 1t is no
easy matter to preside In committee of the
whole. Points of order are frequently made
involving delicate questions of parliament
tary law. The Judge listens patiently while
such points are being discussed, and de-
cides them with commendable promptness.
He has the rules of the House and the pre-
cedents ever at command, and gives his
reasons for his decisions cOnciSely and
clearly. While the Tariff Bill was under
consideration he was taken sick, and Gen.
eral Grosvenor took his place RS Chairman
of the Committee Of the Whole on the State
of the Union.
The General is an aggressive man upon
the floor.
When in the chair he loses this agrees
siyeneSs. II anything, he is disposed TO be
too lair. This involves him into difficulties
and accounts for much of the confusion
that prevailed during the discussion of the
Mckinley bill. The General was presiding
when the Bayne-Bynum episode occurred
If he had been little sterner and quicker
the trouble would probably have been
avoided. The General has thick white
hair and a flowing snowy beard. When
tattoo with his gavel and pleads for
order. At one time be began to state a
question, and absent-mindedly kept up
the tattoo while lie was speaking. This
made it impossible to hear what he
said. The members looked at him in
into laughter. The General in turn re-
garded the House in establishment. He
was evidently unaware of the cause of the
merriment. He then stopped the tattoo and
pleaded with the House to come 10 order.
He distributes his recognitions impartially
and is a general favorte.
One of the finest of presiding officers is
Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows. During Mr..
Reeds absence. owing to the death of his
mother Mr.. Burrows was unanimously
elected Speaker pro ten. He looks every
inch a Speaker. He presides with the
utmost dignity and with charming courtesy.
He thoroughly understands the rules of the
House and general parliamentary law, and
has no difficulty in preserving order. His
