move to the west of the sun and become
q morning star. During September, how
ever, it will again return and will be
seen entering the evening sky in the east
just as the bright Venus is leaving it in
the west. Throughout the entire year
the rings OF Saturn will appear to widen
out steadily. until they seem nearly to in
close the entire ball of the planet.
The planet Jupiter. with It's retinue Of
bright little moons, moves into the even
ing Sky In the southeast during March,
and from then until November this beau
tiful world remains with us. At first
Jupiter will be seen in the southeast and
Venus in the northwest During June
Jupiter will pass to the west of the me
ridian, and by August 10. on which date
Venus is most brilliant. it will have
drawn within only three hours of the
however, Venus will enter the evening
sky.
The red planet, Mars, begins the year
as a morning star shd moves SO slowly
westward that it cannot be seen in the
early evening until October. 1t will then
be a very conspicuous object low in the
northwest, and by the end Of the year
1t will shine out most brilliantly in the
south. BY this time Jupiter and Venus
will have both disappeared. but Saturn
will again have entered the evening sky.
A remarkable approach Of Mars and Sat-
urn will occur August 16. The two bodies
will then seem to be SO close together in
the heavens that they will look like a
brilliant double star. November "a Mars
will attain its least distance from the
earth. and it will therefore at this time
be most favorably situated for observa-
ton.
During the early evenings Of the first
menth of the new year none OF these
bright and interesting planets is vel
visible to US. But they can be spared
the more readily, as the evening sky Is
now more brilliantly filled with stars
than Ut any other time. All the bright

THE FURNITURE TRADE.
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

exhibition OF furniture ever gathered un-
der one roof. The January exposition in
New York will be held in the furniture
exchange room. 1t will be attended by
buyers from every part of the country,
most Of whom deem it absolutely essen
tial to attend both the New York and
Grand Rapids gathering.
The development of furniture is an in
terestfng adjunct to the study Of human
ity. The improvement of the home
marks the progress from sayagery to
civilization. In America the products of
European civilization served as models
for the earlier manufacturers of furni-
ture They seemed to make nothing typi-
cal or distinctive until the mission prod
uct sprang into popular favor While in
sense the mission products are an
adaptation of the early Spanish monas-
tical designs, their adoption for general
home use was purely an American con-
ception, which has been. and will con-
tinue to be. copied throughout the world.
The mission furniture seems to have
come to stay. despite some adverse criti-
cism, for while several new designs have
been offered, the sales for mission furni-
ture have almost doubled during the
past two years.
There are new ideas In regard to the
finishing of the different woods Natural
effects are now in
Many New Ideas favor. Fumed oak,
as to Finishing. n instead !, OF. OF the
Mission furniture, is being generally
adopted. This gives a rich brown tinge
less somber than the other. Circassian
walnut is the most expensive wood now
on the market. 1t is not unusual to see
bedroom sets offered for sale as high as
5000. Much OF this Circassian walnut
is veneer, because this process brings
out the grain of the wood For the
manufacturer. however, the Circassian
walnut is little more expensive than
buried oak or solid mahogany. and its
durability is not yet fully established.
To the furniture trade. more than to
any other. must be ascribed the great
impetus given to the credit system which
has become SO dominant a feature OF the
commercial life of today. 1t was furni-
ture that was first sold on monthly in
stallment plans, and each year develops
new. schemes for increasing business by
furnishing homes on the credit basis.

braries calls for q colossal output OF spe-
cially constructed furniture, which is con-
stantly being improved in design. Dura-
bility, convenience and attractivenesS are
the prime requisites. and the zenith OF all
three seems almost achieved. In office
furniture the new desks have feet which
raise them several inches from the floor
a great sanitary advantage. The fiat-top
desk also replaces the high roll-top in
popular favor. because it does not OBJ
struct the vision of the occupant.
The new desks are wonderfully ingen-
ious contrivances, with cleverly construct
ed drawers and sliding shelves, SO ar
ranged as to give the maximum conven-
ence to the minimum space. Modern cleo
trio appliances also add to their useful
ness. Electric buttons will turn on a
light, furnish q light for q cigar or sum-
mon q clerk from an adjoining room. In
library furniture popular favor is divided
between the solid wood and the steel
constructions. In many new libraries
steel stacks replace the wooden book
cases entirely. II desired these steel
cases can be furnished with rolling doors
which will close UP the books and pre-
serve them through q severe conflagra-
ton.

time no less than four may be seen at

of these beautiful bodies as they change
their positions with reference to one an

the stars will be most interesting and
striking, even 10 those who know but
little about astronomy
During the whole of January the only
bright planet in favorable position in
the early evening is the beautiful Saturn.

There is no line of goods so persistentiy
before the inventor as household furni-
ture. Each month the patent list under
this class is long one. Among the nov
elites to be shown this year are a COM
bination set of table and chairs. a bureau
with drawers that can open without nav
ing to be pulled out, and several improved
bookcases. The increasing number or
flats and apartments requires close cal
culation as to space, so the invention OF
furniture that can be adapted to severai

Harrow and Cultivate.

Weeds grow, rain or shine, hot or
cold, so the man who has neglected
his corn ground for two weeks
will have a mighty big job on
his hands before the corn is
up, the harrow will destroy millions
of these tiny weeds. Keep it going,
and then cultivate just as soon as you
can see the rows. Don't stop at
three times over; keep at it until the
corn gets too big. These frequent
civilizations will keep the corn hump
ing, and you are saving moisture
every time you go over the field. And
don't forget the orchard. 1t needs
cultivation and lots of it. No mat
ter how much rain has fallen during
May the trees will need all the mois-
ture they can get for August and
