Of ironwood, otherwise known as horn
beam, and cabinet made furniture of this
material is found now and then in Con-
necticut. The wood is regarded by
modern woodworkeTs as utterly unfit for
working into furniture. New York cab
met makers avoid the use of beech, and
it is used in this country mainly for fine
tool handles, in planes and the like, just
as lignum vitae is in furniture casters,
blocks for pulleys and other small arti-
cles.
Very old furniture in cherry is almost
as highly priced as mahogany, and the
fine old pieces in maple fetch high prices.
The best walnut furniture Of good old
pattern is highly priced by the cabinet
makers, as walnut has become a very
scarce wood in this country.

from common small pine boxes with the

cushioned, so as to make comfortable
foot rest. Remnants of chintz and other

Some Useful Suggestions.

TO send children happy to bed should
be one Of the mothers most ordinary
tasks. No little one should dread the
bedtime hour, nor fear the dark, nor be
allowed to 60 to rest under sense Of
disgrace or alienation from household
love. Whatever the child's daytime
naughtiness may have been, at nightfall
he should be forgiven, and 60 to rest
with the mothers kiss on his lips and
her tender voice in his ears.
The most careful manager finds that
there is always some cast.off clothing at
the end of a season that needs attention.
What cannot be cleaned and made over
as it is can often be dyed and begin d
fresh existence under another color.
What is too much worn for use as cloth.
ing may be torn into strips and woven
into rugs or mats. These old fashioned
rag rugs are not only durable, but if a
little care is taken in selecting effective
soft colors, they may be made very
pretty. They make warm, comfortable
rugs to use in the kitchen and in some
upper rooms.
AS a rule, the more quiet baby is
kept during the first year Of it's life, the
better chance it has for life of health
and happiness. The fact that so large
proportion Of the human family die in
infancy is due largely to the folly Of
nurses and the ignorance of mothers.
Overnight babies do not commend
themselves to physicians, who know that
the first year Of ohild's life should be
spent largely in sleep, All efforts to
arouse the dormant mind of the child at
this period are attended with danger.
The foolish practice Of tossing helpless
baby in the air, while it screams both
with alright and delight, is most dan
gerous one. A physician with large
practice tells the story of a precociously
bright child which showed evident de-
light when tossed in this way by a doting
grandfather, who was accustomed to
play with it in this way every evening.
The child trembled with delight when
the nights frolic was over, but one even
ing from this trembling it passed into a
spasm, the first indication Of one of those
fatal brain diseases against which medl-
cal science is helpless. Nothing could
be done but to wait until the little life
had flown to happier land,

{" Blind TOm'so Seaside Home.

Blind Toms" Seaside Home.
A correspondent Of Grit gives the fol-
lowing description Of "Blind Toms" life
and home;
"Of late years Blind Tom,' the once
famous colored piano player, has dropped
out Of sight. But he is not dead, as
many suppose. With bis mother and
guardian he lives in comfortable cot
tRge at the highlands OF Navesink, on
the Jersey side Of the lower New York
Bay. Blind Tom is now gray haired.
His guardian is Mrs. Eliza Lerche, who
was appointed ten years ago by Justice
Andrews of the Supreme Court as com
mittee of the person and property Of the
mind -clouded musician. She was then
the widow Of John G, Bethune, who had
charge Of Blind Tom for many years,
and the latter was only given into her
care after long legal struggle with her
father-in-law, James N. Bethune. He
had been handed over to Mrs. Bethune
with no money and no property, personal
or otherwise, out OF the hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars which he had earned
during the previous quarter Of century.
So it was necessary to keep him at work
a while longer to provide for his future
maintenance in case he became disabled
by age or infrmities, and also to enable
him 10 take care Of his mother, who was
still alive In the Southern States, and
looked to Tom for support. About three
years ago Mrs, Bethune, who was then
Mrs. Lerche, having married Albrecht
]. Lerche, the lawyer who had fought
her legal battles in courts, had saved
enough money TO warrant the temporary
withdrawal Of Blind Tom from the
amusement world, so that he might re-
cuperate his health, and, at the same
time, familiarize himself with modern
musical compositions.
"Tom enjoys his long rest, after so
many years of incessant travel and work.
He does very little visiting among his
neighbors and receives few callers at his
cottage.
"He passes hours at time at the
piano, playing his old pieces and practic-
ing new ones, Occasionally he attempts
improvisation, but even then the imita-
tive faculty predominates, as the notes
he picks out are usually the reproduc.
tiOns Of sounds that he has heard.
When not at the piano Tom amuses him
self by initiating the small talk Of ladies
and other visitors to the Lerche cottage,
TO which he is q silent listener. He holds
imaginary receptions, at which the
weSther, new styles in dresses, and like
topics are discussed by the imaginary
visitors, as initiated by Tom, in way
that is very comical, but he will not do

Woods Used in Furniture.

made. Mahogany furniture purporting
to be as much as two centuries old is
subject to suspicion, because mahogany
was little used in furniture until about
the middle of the eighteenth century.
A Colonial New England piece is much
more likely to be Of oak than of mahog-
any unless it belong to the late Colonial
period. Mahogany was a luxury even
then, and oak was used in ordinary
households as being at once moderate in
price and durable.
1t is easy to tell whether professed
European piece OF walnut furniture is
genuine by the quality of the walnut.
European walnut is q denser and finer
wood than most of our walnut. A piece
Of furniture made of ash at unexposed
points is almost certain to be Of Ameri-
can manufacture, but o piece having
beech at such points is likely to be of
European manufacture. Beech is plen-
tiful in Europe and relatively scarce in
this country, and with American makers
of furniture ash is a cheap substitute for
beech and oak. A chair made entirely
of beech is almost certain to be of Euro
pean manufacture. Such chairs are
often beautiful in form, and extremely
durable. Modern taste demands, how
ever, that the beech be stained to initiate
mahogany,
Near as New York is to the mahogany
forests Of the West Indies, the best ma.
hogany comes from Liverpool. The
Liverpool timber merchants have long
controlled the mahogany trade, and they
get most Of the best logs from the West
Indies and latterly even from Mexico.
Much mahogany is brought to New
York directly from the mahogany ports,
especially those Of Mexico, but for espe-
cislly choice logs New York importers
still look to Liverpool. Indeed, English
timber merchants own deal Of the ma
hogany now lying at the Lewis Street
inspection yards. Some of it has lain
there nearly ten years, subject to dam
age by the elements, while the British
owners wait for better prices.
New woods have come into use Of late
years, partly because timber Of the sort
long used in furniture making has be-
come scarce, partly because modern ma
chinery makes it possible to work woods
that in earlier times could not be profit
ably worked. Birch, which is tough,
crooked and difficult to work, is coming
into use for factory made furniture
This wood warps easily, but it looks we'll
and serves the needs of the factory
makers. Aspen also is coming into use
for the manufacture of furniture, though
it, too, is Grabbed wood, unfit to be
worked save by modern cutting machin-
cry. Another OF the woods that the fur
niture makers have been driven to use is
sycamore. 1t is fairly abundant and
cheap in the United States, and its
markings are distinctive and beautiful,
but 1t is untrustworthy because Of its
tendency to warp. 1t is sometimes used
as a veneer over less beautiful but more
trustworthy wood Some of the North
River ferryboats are veneered with syca-
more. All Of these troublesome woods
have been improved for use in furniture
by modern methods of rapid seasoning.
