HOW 10 Remnxe nIoIss.

Moles are kind of tumor and may
be removed. when not too large, if not
located on vein. This is sometimes
done by electricity. but when the mole
is round and like bead on the flesh,
horsehair tied tightly around its base
will soon remove it. Tie it at first as
tight as you can stand it, and every day
draw the hair tighter. On the third or
fourth day the mole will fall off. the
hair having gradually cut it through.
Some nse thread, but there is always
chance OF this breaking when frightened.

HOUSE DECORATION.
Artistic Suggestions by The Decorator
and Furnisher.

Artistic suggestions by The Decorator
and Furnisher.
Heavy chairs of oak in styles which are
copies of furniture used many years ago
are now seen in large halls, and under
hanging hatracks are placed settees of oak,
with backs carved and bearing the mono
gram of the head of the family. The seats
of such chairs and settees are left plain
and highly polished.
For a north room the coloring shoulu be
a warm tint of red or golden brown. For
such u room Chinese porcelain, with red
coloring and red cotton fabric called bez,
could be used. The hangings would be
improved if bordered by suitable needle
work in yellow, and q better effect still is
gained by using fringes of silk and beads.
In decidinson a color scheme for country
dining room the best decorators let the
exposure of the room decide the color, and
then harmonize the portieres, curtain,
screen and china.
Cherry makes beautiful frame for hall
furniture. Chairs for halls may be seen of
this wood, with seats of stamped leather or
plain polished wood. One of the prettest
hatracks seen in hall had in the center
the head of black bear, with mouth wide
open, displaying a dangerous looking
l.
NAL were so mounted as to form hooks
upon which the hats were to be placed.
Some exquisite examples Of chandeliers
for entrance halls have the body suspended
by chains composed of slender links inter
mingled with various minute devices, hav-
ing facets at various angles to reflect the
light, and about which, for further vary
ing of the surface, here and there small
leaf projecting or angling in upon itself.
The branches for lights are finely wrought.
This slenderness of construction is an APP
propriate tribute to the inherent strength
of the material and contrasts well with
the more massive surroundings.
Some of the leading designers have COM
pletely banished mirrors in the adornment
of tables. A large basket of flowers may
be placed in the center, with small baskets
connected at intervals around and loose
flowers strewn between them. One form
of favor is a small gypsy bonnet filled with
spring flowers, and with long end of one
of it's ribbons extended to the place to be
occupied by the recipient. Another at
tractive form of flower holder is that Of
glass globes painted by hand with design
of daisies OR other flowers and tied around
the neck with satin ribbons, leaving one
long streaufer for an index, as in the case
of the bonnet.
A fine wall hanging Of pale gold silk
tapestry, with floral scrolls in cotton in
various tints, spread upon the walls of an
apartment would form handsome decora-
tion. Some of the designs consist of
small floral band running along the fabric
at intervals of four inches.

While sitting on the Plaza de Armes in the City of Mexico, an American missed valuable field glass from his coat pocket, and while he was search ing for it three policemen stepped up with prisoner and the glass and re- quested the owner to accompany them to the court and testify against the thief. In less than fifteen minutes after entering the courtroom the thief had been sentenced to serve a term of five years as a soldier in the Mexican army and the glass restored to the owner.- Philadelphia Ledger.

Longevity Among s.v.e...

From many recorded instances 1t ap pears that savages live longer thar civilized people. There are extraor dinary cases of longevity among tho colored people of Chili. nearly 500 per sons, according to the last census being returned as over 100 years ol age. It has been frequently denied that the American Indians arrive at a very advanced age; but this is now proved by many instances. Levi says of the natives of Brazil that they ars subject to fewer diseases than the Flu ropeans and reach an age of from 10( to 120 or even 140 years. Prince Maz saw an Indian who could remembe, 107years-
 As regards the Malays, Lichtenstein gives instances of their reaching ages of 107 to 120 years. Among the na' tives of the Philippines there are many centenarians. Men of eighty years oi age are seen working vigorously in the fields Even among the Hottentots in stances of great age occur. It is, in fact, worry among civilized people that kills, and from this savages are ex- empt, as they are also from turning night into day, and many if not most of the other follies that seriously inter fere among the civilized nations with chances of longevity.

Early American Pottery.

Primitive potteries for the prodnc- ton of earthenware on 6 small scale were operated in the provinces at an early period, but as only the coarser grades of ware were needed by the simple inhabitants of a new country, no extended accounts of them appear to have been written by the older his torians. AS early as the year 1649, however, there were number of small potteries in Virginia which carried on a thriving business in the communities in which they existed; and the first Dutch settlers in New York brought with them practical knowledge of potting, and are said to have made a ware equal in quality to that produced in the ancient town of Delft.
 Professor Isaac Broome, of the Bea- yer Falls Art Tile works, informs me that the remains of an old kiln fire hole, saved from the ravages of time by being thoroughly vitriied, still exist mile or two below South Anboy, N J. This is a relic of the earlier pot tery ware made on this continent, and was most probably established by the Dutch to make stewpans and pots Edwin A Barber in Popular Science Monthly.

The artisans were repre- sented by stone tile, now known as q diamond Farmers were represented by trefoil or clover leaf, now called a club.
