A traveller who penetrated into
those little known parts of Central
America which lie along the borders
of Mexico and Guatemala, met there
a tribe of aborigines who greeted
each other by sticking out their
tongues in what white people would
consider an exceptionally impolite
manner.

ayers to place in their room a STUN
ming round table of heavy oak, darklv
stained and finished with a dull sur
face, for $I4.8o. To put the table to-
gether and finish the wood was a
most simple manner. A would-be
disciple of these clever furnishers
asked how the ordinary dweller in a
great city could find out a planning
mill. Look them up in a directory,
drop them line explaining what you
wish done, and follow their favorable
reply with your working drawings"
was the advice given. THE rest is
easy"
A large, comfortable chair was
also made possible by the planning
mill. This, when filled with cushions
covered in olive green denim, and
stained and finished, cost only So.
Two Hong Kong chairs were next Sc
lected. These chairs are comfortable,
decorative and artistic, and have the
recommendation of looking we'll
wherever placed. They cost So each.
The tiles about the fireplace are
dull, cold green in color. The man
tel shelf above them held an iri-
descent crystal vase in green and
violet, which came from department
store and cost s. cents. It's color
and shape were perfect for the room.
It was intended to put a mirror
with FURNISHED gold frame above the
mantel. After careful search of sec
ond-hand and auction shops, this
proved to be out of the question, as
a desirable glass could not be found
for less than SIC. 1t was then de-
clded to have plaster bas-relief set
in over the shelf. The mans idea
was that the clear, pure white above
the mantel would assist all the other
color values of the room. This
proved once more the necessity of
trying effects. The plaster in place
was hard, cold ard unsympatheuc,
and in some inexplicable way detract-
ed from the depth of color in the
room.
Turpentine and burnt sienna were
resorted to, and a final polishing
with wax was given. All was har-
mony again. The plaster cost $5. A
bit of old Venetian brocade, a treas
ured possession, was edged about
with some narrow gold galloon and
placed upon the table under the tall
crystal lamp, which had cost $3.75.
Much consideration had been given
to the question of a lamp to use here,
and, with a $500 limit irrevocably
set, it seemed difficult to find one
which would be both ornamental and
useful. The shade was made at home
of thin red china silk, stretched and
| tackled faulty over a wire frame
Each section was covered separately,
and narrow gold thread guimp used
to cover the joinings and outline each
panel. This was also used above the
red crystal bead fringe which COM
pleted it. The shade is unusually eff
fective and has been much admired
The entire outlay of money was $I.35.
The organdy used at the windows un-
der the flowered curtains cost So,
and the economist claimed that dotted
muslin at $2.75 would have proved
equally acceptable.
Mattress pads for the window
seats, with pillows and pillow covers,
had next to be considered. Plain
colored linens in violet, yellow and
green were used for some of these pill
lows. The seats were covered in a
rich, purplish red corduroy. The en-

The central pieces of canvas, which
formed the back and seat, were re-
moved and covered on each side
with lengths of green denim to match
the large chair cushions. This was
double-stitched at either side and
down the center, and then replaced.
Flat pad cushions had been made
from an old comforter. These were
cut accurately square, and four
thicknesses of the comforter were

tire cost, with mattress pad and pill

More chairs were needed, and some
small tables for plants and low ia
BILE from which afternoon tea might
be served. Two steamer chairs, with
wooden frames and canvas hammock
seats, were finally chosen. These cost
ST. each, and their frames were effec-

and tied securely in place with tapes
of the same color One cushion was
placed at the back, the other in the
seat of the hammock chairs. The
cushions for the other chairs were of
green denim. The chairs were Sc
curely fastened at an agreeable angle,
as to leave them adjustable would have
been most inconvenient in moving
them about These finished chairs
cost SAILS each.
A bamboo table, with matting-cov-
cred top, had its legs and back treat
ed with what was left of the green
enamel, and was much improved in
consequence. This finish, by the way,
is excellent for porch furniture, being
impervious to weather.

A Wonderful Well,

Texas is to the front with an
other remarkable phenomenon of
nature. Not content with having
the biggest oil wells in the -coun-
try, and wells that produce hot
salt water in large and small
quantities, the Lone Star State
now presents something entirely
new in the way of a well that
spouts fire water. 1t is not the
kind of fire water that is sold over
our bars, but a water that is act
ually infammable. This new dis
covery is located near Toyah,
Texas, and the owner says that
while boring a well for water on
his ranch he struck a flow which
partly filled the well. When the
water was brought to the sur
face and came into contact with
the drilling outfit, it set fire to
the timbers and they were burned
up. Exhaustive experiments were
made with the water and in every
instance it set fire to the wood
and other infammable substances
with which it was placed in con.
tact. 1t also quickly dissolved or
ate up the iron casing of the
well. He has taken a sample OF
the water to the State University
at Austin for examination. He
should call it liquid radium and
let it 60 at that.
