Lamp Oddities.

Among other coveted trifles for bou-
doir adornment are the Japanese
lamps, no two of which exactly resem-
BILE each other save in the matter of
price, yet they are invariably combina-
tons of some sort Of bird generally
of the crane family, or uncouth rep
tile Of the lizard group, with lotus
leaves, flowers and chrysanthemum.
Color and gold are used more or less
sparingly to tighten up the sombre hue
Of the bronze; now brilliant plumaged
bird is introduced, now huge pink or
gilt blossoms, and there are tintings of
green on the leaves, which are often
spread out flat, 50 as to serve as
shelves for the accommodation of
knick-knacks Or tea cups. OF course,
the lamp which crown the tortuous
spirals of the edifice is surmounted by
one of the new shades woven of soft
lined silks. and fringed with ribbons OF
beads and flutes of bamboo, like the
Japanese portiere. 49,. = ,a.n

pens that no museum in the world has
a good specimen. The one shown by
the National museum at the centennial
exposition, possessed neither nose nor
feet, being patched up with papier
mache. Recently, however, the adult
sea otter was obtained through the
Alaska Commercial company. It will
be stuffed and mounted on a rock COW
cred with seaWeed, so as to look as
lifeike as possible The fur Of this
animal is the most valuable known. A
good pelt. with the usual Imperfect
tons, is worth $3.50. while an exception
ally fine one will fetch $1,000. 1t has
been suggested that the president could
preserve this precious creature by set
ting aside the islands of Saanach and
Chernolous in the Pacific as a reserva-
ton where they might be protected,
just as he reserved the island of Afog-
max for the salmon by proclamation
the other day. Otherwise the species
cannot long survive. Hunters are
shooting the few survivors now with
explosive bullets. 5.sz

paper, which is the most perfect imi-s
tation that we have of the blue and.
white mixture or the French tile. This,
paper costs $1.5O a roll, but, like all
other French papers, the rolls are con-
,siderably larger than the ordinary rolls
of paper. In these new bath rooms
the wainscoting of white enameled
wood takes up about half the wall The
remainder is finished with the tile pa

sometimes with the same paper and
sometimes with a broad, fiat cornice
of enameled wood at the sides, while
the center is papered with plain white
tiles, showing a cracked glaze, such
as is characteristic Of fine oriental por-
celains. The window of such bath

is of white enamel, set in white wood,

BY COACH AND CANAL.

Members of the S,llamag undi Club
Adopt Primitive Modes of Travel.
Chief Smith, Of the transportation ex-
hibits department, is in receipt Of a let
ter from the Salamagundi Club of New
York, an organization Of artists who
desire to come to the exposition by
means of primitive modes of travel.
They propose to go from New York
city to Albany by means of the old
fashioned Concord coaches, travelling
over the same identical route, horsed
and fooled after the manner and on
the same scheduled time Of the old
company. From Albany they will
come on one of the old-fashioned pack
cts of the Erie canal On reaching
Buffalo they desire to forward the
canal boat to Chicago, providing they
can obtain landing place for it near
the grounds Of the exposition, making
it the headquarters Of the club Of
artists while here. The boat they de-
sire to enter as an exhibit of the trans
portation department.. The question
as to whether it can be properly pro-
vided for is now under considera ton.

this is specially the case III winter

as well to remember that black is
the ugliest thing that can be put on,
over or near the face. A blue veil is
charitable, a white net is soothing, a
red one is identifying and a black one
is searching, treacherous and inartistic.
Every blemish and imperfection, every
grain of powder and rouge and every
trace Of worry, age and illness confdes
itself to the meshes Of 1 black veil.
