WOOD STAINING.
Sunny Yellow, Translucent Blue, Roses
Mahogany and Other Hues.

Sunny Yellow, Translucent Blue, Roses
Mahogany and Other Hues.
1t is astonishing in these days of decora
ton and home identifying that SO little IL
known about stains, says the Kansas City
Architect and Builder, which proceeds tc
give the following hints to the ignorant:
In the first place all of the transparent col
ors and some of what are called Opaque
colors can be used as stains If sufficiently
thinned by the use Of turrontine. Raw
sienna is one of the most useful, and if
mixed very thin will give, when vanished,
the sunny yellow Of yellow pine; and as it
does not show dust or footmarks is most
useful in summer cottage.
Prussian blue makes a beautiful stain if
mixed very thin with turpentine-when
vanished it has all the translucent effect
of water. 1t must be Prussian blue-no
other blue will do, and with very large
proportion of turpentlne. In fact, 1t can
hardly be mixed too thin. One cannot lay
too great stress on the thinning of stains,
for that is the great secret of staining
that, and to apply it evenly with the brush
and with due modesty let the writer say
that these stains have been pronounced
very good by professional decorators.
There is one lovely floor i'll certain
country house of crimson lake; diluted it
makes beautiful rose; deepen it and you
have crimson. Burnt sienna makes al
most u perfect mahogany and matches ones
old Chippendale pieces admirably. Raw
lumber makes very good stain if greatly
diluted, and very thin Vandyke brown on
Georgia pine has a particularly good effect.
On white pine the lumber is best. The va
ration in color of stain should depend
simply on its dilution with turpenGine; it
should never be mixed
The walls of one room in a country cot
tage which was ceiled with Georgia pine
are stained with simple diluted white.
The delicate blue and pink colors of the
wood show through the white with an
opalescent effect which is lovely. The in
ventor of this decoration has been much
amused by people asking how such result
could be produced; it was so very simple.
Only the floors should be vanished; the
stain on a wall is prettier and softer with
out. For varnish, hard oil finished is as
satisfactory as anything, and is the cheap
est. Put it on just rs it comes prepared,
and day and a night will dry it.

With his withered face and his misery,
By the firaest and bitterest bond allied,
That never love nor hate can divide

Can sever the tie 'twixt him and me.
Out of the night and into the day,
From season to season. from year to year,
What does it matter where leads the wayI
There is nothing further TO heed nor fear:
There is nothing to hope in the time to be;
As gallop in silence tonight, by my side,
Stirrup to stirrup, and stride for stride,

With my withered face and my misery,

To days that breed, nor years that kill,
Nor prayer, nor tears of souls that be

How to Keep the Carving Knife Sharp.

A carving knife needs to have different
kind of an edge from razor. The steel
which ordinarily accompanies a carving
knife and fork is very well to give finish
ing touch to the edge, but an ordinary
milestone, such as a reaper uses for his
scythe or sickle, is the most useful nipple
ment the carver can keep at hand. One or
two rubs on each side of a knife whets it
up nightly, and then two or three finish
ing touches from the steel and the knife is
in order to do most excellent execution,
says The Industrial World. Carving with
proper tools is an easily acquired accom-
plishment, but without them man at the
head of table seems awkward. and his
evident labor and pain detract from the
pleasure those at his table feel in pagtaking
of his good fare.

The Inter Mountain stops its press to
say: On account of the Helena journal
Lewis IL Clarke county has become a
democratic county of late years but in
every county in this state where that
fool newspaper does not circulate, with
the single exception of Gallatin, a repub-
lican majority is assured in November"
The TRIBUNE is not disposed to adj
versely criticize its comments upon the
journal, but it would ask: What is the
matter with Deer Lodge and Missoula
and Silver Bow counties that they will
not return their usual sweeping demo
cratic majoritIes! The Inter Mountain

that Harrison will carry Montana next

marked az low as possible without the
risk of loss to merchants. In a word
the TRIBUNE would suggest that the
business men of Great Falls make it an
object for the people of the Judith basin
to trade in this city. When that be
done the rest will follow. Trade rela-
tions will become established and the
consumer from interest and habit will
look to this city for their supplies.
But it will require work, diplomacy
and patience to bring about this condi-
ton of things. Golden eggs are not laid
at every door. The fowl must first be
Matched and raised to bring forth the
treasure. An opportunity now presents
itself to the business men of Great Falls
to cultivate the bird that lays the gold
egg. Will they seize the opportunity
Or will they lot it pass! They alone can

FUSION or

The TRIBUNE's dispatches give the
assurance that the democratic and peo-
Piles parties will fuse in Minnesota as
they have fused in Kansas and as they
will doubtless fuse in Nebraska and
other western agricultural states. There
seems to be a disposition among men,
bers of both parties everywhere to unite
their forces to defeat the republicans.
They are in full accord upon the main
issues-the tariff and silver coinage
and it is thought by them that a fusion
upon tickets may be effected without
doing violence to their political faith.
Not long since Congressman Springer
was asked for mis- opinion upon this
matter Of fusion for the purpose Of
destroying all hope of the republican
party to elect Harrison. He is confident
that il the democrats in Kansas, Ne
braska, Minnesota, the two Dakotas,
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado
and Nevada should adopt as their W
the electoral tickets nominated by the
peoples party in the states named, their
fifty-four electoral votes would be lost to
Harrison, thus putting his election out
of the question.
But it is not necessary that such a
wholesale Endorsement Of the peoples
electoral ticket should be made in order
to defeat Harrison. BY a fusion between
the parties which has been or will be
made in the states of Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota and South Dakota, Mr.. Har-
rison will lose 81 electoral votes. That
loss would mean his defeat. The fusions
will be effected and he will lose those
states. His fighting ground is not con-
fined as it was four years ago to Indiana
and New York. Its area now covers the
states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa,
with the chances of victory largely
against him. The democrats will carry
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, six
or eight of the fourteen electoral votes
of Michigan and the solid south. In
view of these very evident facts where
does Mr.. Harrison's chances come in?
The fusion movement, which is being
practically carried out upon the lines
suggested by Mr.. Springer, would great
ly injure Mr.. Harrison's campaign in
another way. The inevitable loss of 81
electoral votes through fusion in the
west SO etfectually destroys Harrison's
hope of election that eastern capitalists
and gold bugs and trusts and combines
and other members of the great money
power who are accustomed to contribute
so heavily to the republican campaign
corruption fund will doubtless either re-
fuse to pay the usual assessment upon
them or cut it down to insignificant pro-
portions. The fat friers' would find
their occupation gone. for without a
bountiful fat frying harvest the repub-
lican party could not have elected a
president during the past twenty years.
The old wheels of the republican ma
chine can't run without heroic doses of
grease.
Mr.. Harrison and his political bench
men have not until recently taken the
possibility of a fusion of democrats and
populists into their calculations. They
are confronted with it's realization now.
Fusion of opposing parties will destroy
the republican organization. The drains
made upon it by the peoples alliance
and prohibition parties are proving fatal
to its existence.
