SOME FANCY BORDERS.

The flooring is more effective than any
carpet or rug and can be readily kept in
a high state of polish.
Parquetry is of two kinds, solid and
veneered. The former is made of sep
arate pieces of thick wood joined by
tongue and groove, the latter OF thin
strips or blocks of wood glued on a
paneled backing of hard wood. From
this it will be seen that all fancy wood
floors need a foundation floor of cheaper
wood, and that this necessarily makes
their use slightly expensive, although
i'll the long run they more than repay
one for the original expense. To be
gin with, they are handsome enough to
require little if any covering in the way
of rugs, then the two foorings deaden
sound to a great degree, and, lastly,
they are so eXquisitely clean and arts
tic in appearance that one cannot help
but be converted to their use.
a complete flooring is illustrated, as
are some borders. 1t consists of a
combination of oak and mahogany,
with border of oak, mahogany and
maple. The border is an intricate and
effective Grecian pattern, in which the
different woods aroused to shade with
the delicacy of d painting. This floor
ing can be laid to fit any room. Par
quetry should never be cleaned with
warm water, for it will cause the pieces
of wood to warp and separate and will
also affect the polish.-Chicago Chron-
iola

CHILDREN AND FLOWERS.

Why the Keeping of n Small Garden Is 3
Precious Bit of Training.
Tt is sad reflection to me to see how
many children there are who have no
real love of flowers. They may be at
tracted by pretty and fragrant bios
SONS, all children are that, but as for
cultivating and giving the tender care
that plants require, and thus learning
some of the sweetest lessons in life, they
know nothing, and all about them are
acres of untitled soil.
The keeping of bit of garden, if only
a few feet of earth, nay, if only few
pots in q sunny window, is a valuable bit
of training, and cannot fail to inspire
n love of the beautiful that will have
an important influence on the charac-
ter throughout life.
It should be remembered that exam
pie is the first element to be considered
in educating the childish mind. Do not
try and force a child to keep a bit of
garden, but keep one yourself. Sow
seeds and plant slips, and spend spare
moments caring for them, and water
night and morning, and always have
your child with you; be tall1ative and
wax enthusiastic, never mind whether
you are understood or not, it will not
be long before the child will initiate
you, and want garden of its own, and
when this is brought about. you may
rest assured you have sown a seed in
the childish heart that will grow to a
blosSoming of great beauty. - N. Y.

floors will look exceedingly well if they
receive thorough polishing from
cabinet-maker twice a year and the rest
of the time are wiped with a soft cloth.
The most beautiful of all floors is the
wood mosaic. This, as its name i'm
plies, consists of a number of small
pieces of wood stood on end. They are
joined by a strip of lead which holds
each block in place. Sometimes the
wood is all of one kind, but set with the
grain running different ways. Other
designs consist of two or more con-
trasting woods, laid so as to form pat
terms of the most elaborate description.

to your honorable body, as shown by
the street commissioners monthly re-

purposes, is not sufficient to keep
the streets of the city in good repair,

again call your attention to the fact
the city has reached that a sys-
