MERE BASE INVITATIONS.

| Most of the Antique Furniture Sold In
America Is of Modern Manufacture.
Beware Of alleged antique furniture
shipped from this country for sale in
America. Such furniture, if genuine,
can generally command a ready sale in
| the London markets, and travelling
Americans prefer to buy their own rel
les on the spot A friend of mine who
lives in the garden county" of Eng
lond-Devonshire-te me that in the
midst of green meadows in the remote
part of the lovely county, there works
firm of cabinet-makers whose achiev-
nents in the art of taking" can hardly
be excelled even by the artists who
transform pot-boilers into works of old
masters. These people conflne their eff
forts entirely to manufacturing antique
furniture for the American market, and
this is the way. for instance, an "olde
oaken cheste' is fashioned. First Of
al the chest is strongly built of deal
boards-practically a superior packing
cdse-the nails are sunk and the cav
tiles filled with some kind OF cement.
Then the chest is stained and the re-
harkable resemblance to old oak is at
tanned. To secure the specific gravity
required very shallow false bottom is
arranged, in which is placed a perfect
~ lifting sheet of lead. OF course, the
pest part OF the fake is in the carving.
Ohe member of the firm is particularly
clever IN this direction. His inspira-
ton is derived from an old family
BlDIe, the illustra tons in which ara
surrounded by borders of quaint and
curious design, with the grotesQue
heads such as one sees in gargoyles.
The complete result is calculated to de-
eeIVe any but an expert. It is said that
a lively market for the stuff was once
obtained in London, where it was sold
by auction, also that a smart American
upset the game. He suspected a chest
which was being offered, and surrepti-
t1ously applied his penknife to such
purpose that he laid bare a patch of
white deal and broke up the sale Now
the firm export their wares to the
United States on commission.
But chests are not the only article
offered for sale by these collectors of
antique furniture" They have even the
temerity to attach a historical interest
to some of their products. Thus cary
en- chair may be labeled as having be-
longed to Queen Elizabeth, or a cabi-
net deliberately wrought, but with rusty,
uncouth hinges, as having been owned
by Oliver Cromwell or Sir Walter
Raleigh. The rusty hinges, by the
ay, are taken fom barn doors in the
neighborhOod and tutored into con-
venient shape. A capital effect is
gained by loading up pistol CT gun
with heavy charge of sparrow shot
and firing it at the furniture from a
due distance. This represents the raw
ages of the insidious worm

cause of their inability to secure salts

parently in favor of Indianapolis, in the
event that satisfactory rates can OF be

The Closing Unfortunate for

Other Kansas News of General
Importance.

Lyons, Jan. s5.-The owners of the
large rock salt mines at this place have
under consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of
closing down for the present, having
worked but three days this year, owing
to the Discrimination in freight rates.
The freight rates on rock salt from
Lyons to Chicago is Sab per ton,
whereas the freight rates on rock salt
from the New York mines to Chicago IS
43c per ton, Chicago being the principal
market for the rock salt in the United
States.
The closing down of these mines will
be very unfortunate both for the town
and the salt company as a large amount
of money has been expended on the
equipment of this plant.
