Mining Assessments.
SEATTLE, Nov. a. 1893

SEATTLE, Nova 1898.
EDITOR P. I: Has there been a
change in the United States mining
law in reference to the working of
assessments during the extra session?
Has the law been changed so as to ex-
tend the time of working assessments
for the year 1893 for one year?
congress has passed bill suspend
ing the mining assessment law for tie
year 1893, except in the state of South
Dakota. President Cleveland has not
yet signed the bill, but will do so
within few days undoubte d1y. The
exception against South Dakota was
made at the request of the resident
miners. 1t is perfectly safe to take it
for granted that the bill will become
law and assessment work need not be
performed this year. l-P. 1.

FARE WELL TO THE OLD YEAR.

By SARAH DEUDNEY
Farewell, old year, we walk no more together;
catch the sweetness of thy latest sigh,
And crowned with yellow brake and wthered
heather.
| see thee stand beneath this cloudy sky.
Here in the grim light of gray December,
We part in smiles, and vet we meet in tears;
Watching thy chilly dawn, l well remember.
l thought thee saddest-born of all the years
! knew not then what precious gifts were hidden
Un1er the mists that yelled thy path from
sight;
knew not then that Joy would come unbidden
To make thy closing hours devnely bright
| only aw the dreary clouds unbroken,
only heard the splash of icy rain,
And in the winter gloom found no token
To tell me that the sun would shine again.
o dear old year, wronged a Fathers Kindness
would not trust him with my load of care
| stumbled on in WEAKNESS and blindness,
And 10, he blessed me with an answered
prayer!

But here in quiet happiness part;

A Few Seasonable Hints.

The letter from "BostOn" brings to my

not want a large collection, but they
want choice variety. Some OF these
people go away every summer, conse-
Quently they cannot have ANIMALS, nor

they will not be here to enjoy them when

Holiday Decorations

The suggestions in the following arti-
Gle, from an exchange, were intended by
the writer as help in Christmas decor
ations, but they apply with equal force
to both New Year and Easter.
The wild smilaX abOunds in prOfuSon
in our hammocks, as we'll as palms, mis-
tleto, holly and the king of evergreens-
magnolia.
Some of the keenest fun of the holt
days comes in the work Of decorating.
Pleasurable it must ALWAYS be when
merry lads and maidens share it to-
gether, with few wiser and sober older
folk to assist and advise them.
| am glad to see that the old system
of profuse and heavy wreating and
banking Of evergreens, which made
churches, halls and parlors look gloomy
and sombre rather than bright and fes-
tive, is giving place to lighter and more
festive festooning, which requires much
less work and is prettier and more nat
ural in effect.
Wild smilaX and lycopodium, or
ground pine, are two Of the prettiest
evergreen vines to use for this purpose.
They grow wild in many places, the first
in the South, the other in the North, but
in all florists stores they are kept for
sale in lengths of from two to four yards,
4 bo "a
smilaX usually costs about - cents d
a yard, lycopodium never more than
eight cents. You do not need to ar
range these vines. No matter how care
lessly you throw them into place-around
pictures, over cross or statuette, any
where upon the wall-they at once drape
you could do it, and they do not dry out
and droop their leaves near SO quickly
as fir, spruce and laurel.

the Idea. Among the globes and pen
dants of the chandelier the bright scar
let berries of the holly will CLEAN their
brightest, and from beneath it the mis-
tleto should hang, catching the life-like
pearls in it's milky berries.
1t is a shame to waste holly as some
people do in heavy mixtures or combi-
nations with other evergreens, where all
its pretty brightness and individually
are lost. Against some bright back
ground or undecorated space, or over
masses Of darker evergreen, its scarlet

Very brilliant frC st-lke effects may be
made by busting powdered isinglass or
mica lightly over evergreens, first sprink-
ling them lightly with mucilage. But II
too free use of mica gives cheap, gaudy,
lOOh where a mere suggestive glitter
would be quite artistic. This powder,
being supposed to initiate frost, should
never be used on palms and tropical
cvergreens.
Stars are more appropriate than crosses
for Christmas decorations, but they are
not so easy to make, and star that can
not be made to shine in some way does
not mean much. In city it is not diff

hOt-hOuse smilaX stretched upward from

Notices are needed to give the true
spirit of the season a tangible reprcsen-
tation. Evergreen letters are oftener
failures than successes They will be
wavy and webbing in outline where
they should be sharp and clear. Letters
cut from gilt or silver paper, pasted upon
titf cardboard and tackled with wire nail
upon an evergreen background, are much
finer and cheerier.
Growing plants and cut flowers have
very important place in holiday decor
ations, but they should not be mingled
indiscriminately with evergreens, for
the one ''kills'' the other. In the church
tall palms grouped about the chancel
back Of the altar, will show with fine
effect, the urns in front being filled with
cut roses and dropping ferns or aSpara-
gus. Growing ferns should always be
placed on the floor. For the altar, "a
very elegant and simple decoration is
