THE BRIDGEPORT WOOD FINISHING co.

The exhibit of the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Co.,, of New Milford, Ct., for the Worlds fair was one of the first to be completed and set up. It is not very easy to describe this exhibit to our read CTS, as it is necessary to be seen to be ap- preciated but there is no doubt that it will create great interest at the Worlds fair; especially among architects, and those who are about to build their own homes, furniture and piano manufactur- CTS, etc. Various specimens of foreign and domestic woods, in the shape of pam els, about 4xS inches, have been artistic ally set eide by side in pleasing contrast, in large oak frame forming as whole an interesting picture of natures. work. The beauty of these woods has been de- veloped and brought out by the use of the celebrated Wheeler's patent wood filler and the various stains which are manufactured by the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Co.,, of New Milford, Conn.
 On the part of furniture manufacturers or consumers of wood in any shape for household use, or interior finishing of buildings, there is constant and steady demand for something new; that is, each one wants something different than his neighbor, and for this reason the staining

HEADQUARTERS FOR PICTURES.

The place to buy framed or unframed pictures of all kinds is at Northrop's art store, 3l John street, Bridgeport. He carries an immense assortment of un- framed pictures and frames them as de- sired at the lowest prices. If you have any pictures that need frames, leave them in the morning on your arrival in the city, and you can have them to take home in the afternoon. He also has a large line of fancy goods, stationery, toys, dolls, printing presses, electric mo- ters, etc. He has just received a lot of hand painted wall pockets which he of fers for 50 to 99 cents. He has one set of Onidu's works, 10 large volumes good value at $500 for $2.49. Those Franklin fountain pens that he sells are dandies, and his price only $1.50. Every one should have one.

Of wood is greatly resorted to. These stains heretofore have been either water or spirit stains, and they have been ob- Jectlonable owing to the fact that they would raise the grain or fibre of the wood which made it difficult to finish. In this exhibit, to which we have referred, the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Co.,, intro duces what is. known as their T Oil Stains. These oil stains penetrate the wood the same as water stains without raising the grain or fibre. They are made in various coiors and shades, the principal among which are mahogany, antique and Eng fish oak. With any of these stains an endless variety of effects on wood may be obtained according to the manner in which the stain is used; that is, whether 1t is used heavier or thinner. A piece of common, ordinary mahogany treated with this stain will be developed into the most beautiful figured wood, ref1ecting new features from every side you may view it, and al piece of birch, apparently with out any special beauty, thus treated, will develop into a wood which cannot but be admired, astonishing everyone with the figure therein. This stain seems to bring out everything that is in the wood with which it is treated in contrast develop ing the soft parts of the wood as against the brghtening up of the hard parts.
 This picture frame of hard woods which we have endeavored to partially describe, is set on an oak base about six feet long and three feet wide, in which are numer- ous drawers for the convenience of en- ployes attending the exhibit. This base being of oak has been finished offto show the various effects which may be obtain ed by treating oak with this Wheeler fill CT, and these stains of which we have spoken. Here all shades of oak from natural antique to the most extreme dark golden oak may be observed. Whitewood also forms part of this base, and this is not only finished up in it's natural state, but is also stained and finished up in very close imitation to walnut.
 On the reverse side Of this oak frame exhibiting the panels of various hard woods are panels of wood which have been painted with Breinig's lithogen sili- cate paint, showing the various colors manufactured by this company, and by themselves also forming very pleasing effect.
 The managers of the Worlds fair have been very considerate in their treatment thus far of the Bridgeport Wood Finish ing Co.,, and while they at first were un- able to grant them the space they desired (3Ox30) cutting same down tQ 10xl3, they have recognized the high standing and superior merit of their, Wheeler patent wood filler and other products over the many limitations now on the market, and within few days, of their own accord, they wired the Bridgeport Wood Finish ing Co. and offered them double the space | first granted, which is very acceptable and enables them to make better dis play than they originally would have l been able to make in the limited space. They have also given this well-known company prominent position in the space allotted to exhibits of their class.

MAN OR BEAST?

Sometimes alcohol gives rise to the question, which is the man and which is the beast. So it did one day last week in Quaker Farms. A man and two oxen were blowing in field, the man, having drank too freely of the hardest kind of cider, lay down in drunken stupor be- side the blow, and the cattle stood beside the harrow awaiting his pleasure. There he was found by some one who es- timated him to be equivalent to the two brutes, and consequently chained him in their place to the blow, and quietly drove them away. No one was by when his drunken slumber came to an end, but it is supposed he was in condition to utter those classic words of astonishment, ssWhere am at? p
