CHINA FOR DECORATION.
You Can Get Anything You Want In Un-
decorated China, Costly or inexpensive.


The numerous articles now offered the
amateur to paint are of so varied charac-
ter in size, style, price, ETC., that it is al
most safe to say, "You can get anything
you want in undecorated china" Former
ly the list comprised such articles only as
were in daily use on the table such as
cups and saucers, plates and dishes of
many sizes and shapes. BY degrees other
things were added, some of which were
useful, while Others were purely orna-
mental. Now, as The Decorator and Fur
nisher tells, there are any quantity of
small trifles of a very inexpensive charac-
ter that may be converted into real-aside
from the sentimental-value by the guam
tity and quality of work placed upon them
Under this category may be mentioned
the various little trays, the smallest of
which is for pins; next in order Of size is
for hairpins; a long narrow one comes
for pens and pencils, still larger for trim
ketS, and one nearly square is for the
manicure set. one still larger for brush
and comb All over this size may be used
ad libitum for tete-a-tete sets, individual
sets, afternoon tea sets and SO on OF
course the larger ones are much more ex-
pensive than the little ones, for ordinarily
tit piAtc VI tLAbuWdlo kdE III EXCESS OF
and out of proportion to the increase in
size.
Next to trays in order Of quantity and
variety are, perhaps, the innumerable box
es. These are for matches, stamps, bon
bons pins, puffs, powder, pomade, sar-
dimes, cards, jewels, gloves, handkerchiefs
and even collars and cuffs-in fact, their
name is legion. Like the trays, these come
in every conceivable size and shape
round, square, oval, oblong, irregular and
three cornered.
Next in china small wares, numeri-
cally speaking, comes the basket These
afford wide scope for decoration, and are
useful in many ways. They are used va
riously for bonbons, sugar, spoons, salted
nuts, flowers, fruit, etc. The larger ones
are frequently used to hold photographs.
Some of these have handles and some have
not. These handles are in some instances
thrown across the basket, sometimes at
one side, and one of the very latest of these
has no less than three handles

Commander Ballington Booth and
his wife have entered upon salvation
work independent of the government of
what is known as the Salvation Army
The first meeting under these auspices
was held in New York Sunday. There
are several Innovations in the methods of
conducting the work, among them being
the abolition of rank 1t is question
whether the removal Of this incentive will
impair the undertaking or prove on the
whole benefit. 1t has in the past
naturally been a source of some bad feel
ing. 1t is stated that no effort will be
made to have those belonging to the old
organization leave it for the new one
Nevertheless, when is considered the re-
markable growth the army had under the
management Of Mr.. Booth, there is little
doubt but that many members of the army
will flock to the standard of their old
leader. That growth was such that the
army in the United States nearly doubled
during the past five years although it
declined in Canada during the same time
and the interest in its work in England
was somewhat diminished. There seems
to be no doubt that quite large share of
the rich contributions made in this coun-
try were the result of Darlington Booths
leadership. Viewed in this light the
prospects OF success for his new undertak
ing seem excellent

1t Is painful to note that the students in

the Cuban war fund in quiet way and
do the hollering' by way Of resolutions

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.

HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE, :
AUGUSTA, MAINE. JAN. %, 1896. J

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
ing to the two United States senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law.
all Cony entions are portion of our election
system. and this ballot act requires that can
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nom1na-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.
