Brass in Household Furnishings.

We are reminded that among the
many reforms introduced by A. Welby
Pugin, one of the ablest modern Gothic
designers, it was made especially APP
parent that brass was metal having a
beauty of its own, and that it could be
used to advantage in many ways, both
in ecclesiastical and domestic purposes
Brass will take brilliant polish, and
the metals adaptability for design has
been thoroughly appreciated by modern
designers.
In all work connected with the house
hold there is now no need to say a word
for brass in arrangements for lighting,
in grilles, dishes, ornaments and SO on,
for it is used with overwhelming sue
cess, and is even made into such things
as jardinieres and tables.-Decorator
and Furnisher.

"esod owns the Church. !"

~
A small New Yorker, whils ON
visit to his aunt, who lives in New
Hampshire town, was taken to church
and Sunday school, AS he entered the
church his aunt said:
"Now, George, you must remember
to be very quiet while in church. You
know that it is Gods house, and he
would not like it if you did not behave
WELL"
The young man needed this admoni-
ton and was quiet as lamb. 49,
Later he was taken into the Sunday
school room. Then again he was eau
toned.
'You must be very good while you are
in here, Georgia" said the aunt, ''be.
cause Elisha Brown, the superintendent,
does not like little people who make any
noise"
Again the caution was well received,
and young George was model of pro-
priety.
When he reached home his mother in
quired how he had liked the church and
if he had been good boy.
HE behaved beautifully" said the
aunt, and the mother was much pleased.
Young George said nothing just then,
but little later he amused everybody
by remarking. "The church belongs to
God, but the Sunday school belongs to
Elisha Brown. - Chicago News.

Claims Before Congress.

Immediately after every change of ad-
ministration, claims which were disal-
lowed by the outgoing power pour in by
thousands, to be considered and rejected
again. Applicants imagine, evidently,
that what one party will not grant the
other may grant. Their persistence in
many cases is astonishing. One citizen,
who has not the shadow of a right to
back him up, has written more than
1000 letters to the treasury respecting
his demand, and has expended more
money in postage than the value of the
claim. He has addressed his communi-
cations on the subject to every public
official in Washington, from the presi-
dent down, and even to the Chinese and
other foreign ministers. W Washington

A Delightful Place for a woman.

What delightful day one could spend
rummaging in the great cabinets at
Windsor castle, where are stored away
all the gowns that Queen Victoria ever
wore. For the queens robes are never
sold or given away, despite the energetic
attempts which have been made from
time to time to induce the attendants to
part with some of these Thousands of
gowns, which their wearer has probably
forgotten that she ever possessed. The
coronation robes, bridal gowns, resplend-
emit garments of stately fete and royal
ceremonial, worn in the old days before
the magnifcence of queenliness was for
gotten in the sorrow Of widowhood
What will become of these relics when
the long reign is ended and the enor-
nous cabinets are made ready for the
new queens arrival?-London Letter.

sewing girls have to walk up six floors.

A Copper Plated Ceiling.

The use of copper in decorative metal
work is largely on the increase, by rea-
son of the ease with which it can be used
in various electroplating processes. The
electrotyping of metal has been carried
so far that entire shop fronts are con-
structed by this process. One of the
ceilings of the Equitable building is
made Of electroplated copper on wood,
which exhibits the capabilities Of this
beautiful method Of interior decoration.

AN EMPTY SESSION.

The present session of congress seems
likely TO end with no great constructive
work accomplished. When its achieve
mentS are summed up it will be said
that it passed some appropriation bills
of appalling magnitude and then ad-
j0urued. The responsibility for this
outcome does not rest with the DemOc-
racy. Its hands are tied by the exist =
ence of an adverse majority in the sem
ate and of Republican executive. 1t
has tried to eliminate some OF the con-
SpicuOuS evils in our tariff legislation
by wise and temperate remedial meas
ureS. But the free wool bill and the
free binding twine have been stIfied in
the upper branch withOuteYen as much
as debate. 1t has tried to cut down
public expenditures, but it has been
confronted by the presence of laws
passed by the Fifty-first congress COM
pelling vast outlays, in spite of its re-
luetance and protests. A pension list
of Sl5O,O0O.O0O in magnitude, 1000 ne W
offices and half finished internal i'm
prOvements in every quarter OF tn G
country make heritage Overwhelming
in Its eoercive force. The Democracy
had no reason to hope that it could ac-
complIsh much by its control of the
lower house. The work OF reform will
be delayed until we also have Demo
cratic president and a Democratic SEN
ate
