The busy springtime is on hand, with
so much to be done and so little time in
which to do it, aggravated this year by
the difficulty in securing competent
help on the farm. 1t has come to this
that wherever the horse and the ma

A Clever Idea.

A clever girl. who has more taste
than money, has adorned her room with
pictures by utilizing engravings from
high class magazines Not wishing TO
incur the expense of framing them. the
young woman bought several sheets Of
blue blotting paper. such as art stu
dents use in crayon work, and some
sheets of gray cardboard Selecting
the pictures that had a good deal of
light. she arranged them on blue mats
cut large enough to leave a margin
Those that abounded in shadows We're
affixed to the gray mats. The special
and unique feature OF the work, how
ever, was the mode Of fastening the
pictures in place. Those on the blue
mats were secured at the corners by a
circle of red sealing wax about the
size of a hVe-cent piece, stamped IN
the middle with her monogram seal
Some of the gray mats We're fasten-
ed with black wax. some with blue,
sealed in the same fashion. BY way of
variety, the seals were affixed in diff
ferent places. Some were on every
corner, some on diagonal corners, some
on the two upper. with a seal in the
middle at the lower edge The general
effect was extremely pretty. and many
Of her friends have boldly appropriated
the clever girls idea.

Art In the white House.

Harper's Bazaar: The private apart
ments of the president and his family
in the White House are lacking in any
thing that approaches art, save as the
president supplies them from his own
belongings. Mrs. McKinley's room is
exquisite in its display of her delicate
a and gentle personality. The room
in which the late Mrs. Harrison died
has been done over in grewsome green,
and in the one adjoining is such a riot
of red as good souls in their senses
seldom see. This is known as the
prince Of Wales room, from having
upon a memorable occasion quartered

tains some rare old mahogany pieces

some influence on the sale Of lamp
chimneys. Still the number Of lamps

plenty Of people burning gas. Tor IN

millions Of lamp chimneys annually.
There r received in this city from
western manufacturers, for domestic
consumption, / suppose about four car
loads Of chimneys weekly, running
from 1900 to 1000 dozen chlmneys to
the car. These are sold to jobbers who
distribute them through their trade to
customers to greater or less distances
away. Perhaps half Of these chimneys,
or rather more, are used in the city or
within fifty miles of it. To the chin
neys thus brought here are to be added
those produced here, the eastern
chimneys being made chiefly for the
local trade and for export. We inn
port a few lamp chimneys of the cheap
est and of the best grades. the cheap
chimney from Germany and the cost
lier from France, but these imports
cut only a small figure in the total
consumption, and we export lamp
chimneys in great quantities. We
send very few to Europe, though we
do sell them some Of our best chin
neys. But outside of Europe we sell
lamp chimneys everywhere. We come
into competition in some parts Of the
world with the Germans, who make
chimneys very cheaply, but our ex-
ports are increasing and we send chin

Hall agreed. He had brought an
immense pressure to bear upon his
reticent nature in order to do and dare
all this dismal afternoon. Another
word was an impossioility. Agatha,
however, had no sooner spoken than
the d%reariness awaiting her at home

1.-THE lamp chimney, said a man &C
Quainted with the trade. to the New
York Sun, Seems a simple sort OF
thing, but there are not many things
Of more ommon use the world over
and in the aggregate the number sold
Is enormous. In this country there are
10000 men and boys employed In maxi
ing lamp chimneys. and the chimneys
produced number millions annually.
The greater number are now made
west Of the Allegheny mountains in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, where
the majority Of the glass works Of the
country are located, many Of them IN
the natural gas regions. The first
glass works in the country was e.
tablished In Boston and formerly the
glass-making industry was principally
in the east. Now there are not near
ly so many glass factories here as there
once we're. One not familiar with the
business might be surprised with the
great variety in which lamp chimneys
are made. Lamps are made in these
days in very great variety by many
makers and Of course there are made
chimneys suitable for all Of them.
There is one American lamp chimney
maker who. counting sizes and styles,
produces 500 varieties. Among the
great variety Of chimneys maze there
are some that are Of common use
everywhere and then there are some
that are specially suited to demands
in this or that part of the country and
are not in demand In other parts. Lamp
chimneys are not only made in
far greater variety than formerly, to
fit perfectly every sort Of lamp, but
they are also made better than ever.
In fact, lamp chinJneys have advanced
with everything else. But enormous
and increasing as the production is,
the demand scarcely keeps pace with
the Increase in the population, this be-
ing especially true in cities where gas
