REPAIRING FURNITURE.
Making Whole, Cleaning and Bright
ening Up For the Winter.

ening UP For the winter
There is always greater or less
amount of work to be done to put
household furniture in repair for the
winter, but much of this may be done
at home
In the first place, every piece that be-
comes loosened from an article of fur
niture or every part that is broken or
splintered off should be saved and put
in place by themselves where they
may readily be found. Prepare for
work by purchasing a bottle of liquid
glue of good quality and a bottle of
rubbing oil. The latter is such as is
used in furniture factories for giving
an Oil finish to furniture and may be
obtained at such factory or repair
shop or probably at large drug store.
Apply as much glue as the fracture
demands and press the piece closely in
place, wiping off the superfluous glue
Many pieces can be tied together till
the glue sets: other pieces can be laid
down fiat and an iron placed upon
them to keep them securely in place
Use no more glue than is necessary
After the gluing is done and the glue
has had time to set you are ready to
apply the rubbing oil. First, however
any pieces Of furniture that are dirty
or greasy should be cleaned.
Oiled furniture may be cleaned by
dipping wooden cloth in kerosene and
rubbing thoroughly, or it may be wash
ed in suds by using Il good white soap
The latter will take off the finish more
but this can be restored. The chamber
sets, sewing machine, dining chairs and
table, desk-all such articles will be
vastly improved if rubbed over in this
way.
Willow or rattan chairs should have
an oak or cherry stain applied with a
good brush so as to penetrate all parts
This stain comes mixed ready to apply
and is kept at any drug or paint store
A pretty finish for some chairs is a
coat of prepared enamel either white
or colored. This comes in a liquid
ready for use and is to be applied with
a brush. The woodwork, too, may be
given little gliding or bronze at slight
expense by using the paints to be had
at any drug or paint store. Such a
chair upholstered in white corduroy or
velours is especially dainty and pretty

Lackawauna's New Ferry House.


A long-felt need will be supplied
when the Lackawanna Railroad COM
pletes its West 23rd street ferry slip in
accordance with the plans which have
recently been filed. These specifica-
tions call for steel structure 225 feet,
in length, covered with copper on the
outside. and furnishing accommoda-
tion for three boats. In the middle
of this structure, which extends south
from the Erie ferry slip at 22nd street
will be steel tower l35 feet high and
Surmounted by adome. Waiting rooms
will be provided on both the second as
well as the first floors, and access will
be had to the second deck of the new
dOuble-deck ferry boats direct from
the ferry house. There will be four
arched entrances with a covered arch
way fifty feet wide for the protection
Of patrons in inclement weather. 1t
is hoped to have the trolleys make
their terminal under one of these en-
frances and thus do away with the
extra walk after passenger has
alighted from the car. Suitable ac-
commodations will also be provided for
cab service. 1t is thought that the
new ferry house will be completed by
the beginning of the year 1905 and
possibly sooner,

AT Reigate, England, in the spacious
grounds of the ancient priory there is
a tree which is known as the tree of
decision. Under it stood Lady Henry
Somerset in the darkest hour of her
life. The very foundations seemed to
be giving away. She was struggling
with the awful question, Is there a
God? when there came to her this mes
sage: Live as though were, and you
shall know that | am" The decision
was made, and God became real.-Dr.
