How to Lny Japanese Mating.

From the New York Post
If you wish to lay Japanese mating in a
Japanese fashion, first cover your floor
with the thickest carpet lining you can
buy. That will soften the sound and keep
the mating from wearing unevenly and
quickly. Cut a breadth of the mating a
half or third Of the length of the room
where 1t is to go, and bind 1t with a car
pet binding of a solid color not only across
the ends, but also along the Sides Cut the
next breadth the same length and fix in the
same way. If it is proposed to use three
lengths. the space should be so divided
that there will be two long and one short
length. But each one is to be bound on all
sides. In laying the next breadth of mat
ting, SO arrange the pieces that a long
piece In one breadth each time will come
next short one in the next breadth.
After the whole room is covered. get a
thin, very fiat molding about an inch wide
that Is stained or painted black or dark
brown and lay 1t over the places where the
breadths and the different pieces of the
breadths intersect. Tack these holdings
firmly in place, and you will have the ir-
regular effect given by the mats used in
Japanese houses. This arrangement is not
very sanitary and not very easy If tho
American custom OF taking up each floor
covering once year is followed But It
has the merit Of being truly Japanese, and
there Ia no danger that the mating viii
fray or ravel in the process.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Circular Issued by the Sound
Money League.

Circular Issued by the Sound
Money League.
The delegates from the District to the
Chicago convention. and presumably the
delegates from every state. have received
letters sent out by the German American
Sound Money League. declaring that 10 per
cent Of the German-American citizens of
this country are in favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard, and giving
many reasons why the free coinage of sill
yer should not be sanctioned by the demo-
cratic national convention.
There are twenty-six signatures to the
letter. among the number being such prom
inent men as Edward Cross, Oswald Often
derfer. William Steinway. and ex-Secretary
of the Interior Carl Schurz.
The letter says that Of 5S1 German Amer
lean newspapers in this country, 400 are in
favor Of the gold standard, 80 are for BIZ
metallism. and the balance are doubtful:
that 80 per cent of the German Americans
OF the country will vote against free sill
yer candidate, and that the party which
declares "emphatically for the maintenance
of the gold standard will command almost
the entire German vote. regardless Of party
affiliations"
The letter gives eleven reasons against
the free coinage Of silver and in favor of
sound money, the chief Of which are that
free coinage would cause a business panic:
that 1t would be rulnous to workingmen
and farmers, whose earnings would be re-
duced; that the prevailing low prices of
commodities are not due to the demonetf-
cation of silver, but to inventions and i'm
proved processes. which have cheapened
and quickened production in all branches
Of agriculture and industry, silver mining
not excepted.

Der OF small boys coming in and out, each
managing to get a hurried look at the tane
before leaving.
A lad with bundle Of papers under his
arm would peep in the front door. take a
furtive look around to see that the coast
was clear, then suddenly work over toward
the ticker. He would as suddenly slip out
again with an expression commonly seen
only in Wall street during a busy day en-
change In a few minutes other boys
would follow him. at short intervals. going
through the same pantomime Sometimes
one would burst into the room as IL intent

Patent Once Publications. VIII
HeacefOrth Appear ON Time.
People who have business before the
patent Office have noticed recently that
there has been some delay in the Issue Of
the list OF patents. In talking about this
matter to Star reporter today, Mr.. J. w.
Babson. the chief of the issue and Gazette
division, patent office. said:
1.-THE appropriation for printing and bind
Ing for the Interior Department for the
fiscal year 1866 became so nearly ex-
hausted in the month Of April that great
deal OF 1t had to be suspended, and the
necessary work was retarded until an ap-
preparation to supply the deficiency could
be obtained. This appropriation was made
IN the deficiency bill. which passed near the
close OF the last session of Congress.
After the money was nearly exhausted
every effort was made to bring out the
Patent Office Gazette and the patents, and
these efforts were SO successful that the
public was not aware Of the difficulty.
Since the deficiency appropriation has been
made an additional force has been put on
the work. some Of which was delayed three
weeks. and 1t is now being brought up to
date as fast as possible.
AT this time the printing office is about
four days behind. Rapid progress is being
made, and 1t Is believed that the Official
Gazette and all the work on the patents
will be brought up to Date at the time of
the issue Of July Z. 1t Is only fair to say
In this connection that no blame attaches
to the contractor for the photo-lithograph-
ic work."
