HOUSEHOLD ADORNMENTS. iow to Make Skeleton Leaves and Crystaliyzed Grasses, These pleasing preparations for household adornment may be made as follows: There 13 a slow and quick method; the former is by pro- curing the natural decomposition of the pulpy substance of the leaf by exposure to light in a dish of water, the quick method is by the use of a weak alkaline destructive solution, ot which soda and lime are the active agents. By the slow method one may proceed as fol jows: The leaves are laid out smoothly in a pan or dish, and covered with rain- water two or three inches deep, and are held down by means of sheets of glass resting on small stones at the corners by which they ate prevented from pressing too closely on the leaves. They are exposed to the sunlight in a warm window. In two or three weeks they are examined, and all those that have become soft and pulpy are removed to another dish to be cleaned. The rest are leit unttl they, too, become soft. Th+ softened leaves are carefully removed one by one by being floated on to a sinall sheet of glass; the pulp 1s pressed out by means ol a small stu painter's brush or a tooth brush, used by tap ping up and down azd not by a sweeplpe rac- Uon.

This deposit of crystals occurs {u the cooling liquid, because hot water dissolves more alum than coid water, and as the water cools the excess of alutu forms crystals which attach themselves to any fibrous matter in contact with It more readily | than to anything else. These crystals eniarge by accretion constantly, as long as there {s an excess of alum in the solution. “ When the sup- ply is exhausted the solution {gs warmed and tore alum fs dissolved tn it; it isreturned to the jar and the bunch of grasses is replaced.

Times. icc im Photog- The old saying concerning Invention b2ing the offspring of necessity is well illustrated in the new Bromide Emulsion process, recently [tte abroad, and introduced here by Mr. ockwood, of Union-Square. The continuous dark and foggy atmosphere of London and other large cities of Great Britian and the Continent, induced Captain Abner, Herr von Monckhoven and other scientists to’ seek some new photographic process, which would be even more sensitive than that hitherto in use, with the hope that portraiture might be made successful in modified lights, or possibly be worked practically by artificlal light, A marked success attended their efforts, and portralts are now made in one or two seconds under 2 portrait light, and ont-of-door plo- tures ina fraction of a second of time.

Near Christmas, a Christmas-tree, or or” Christ: mas-trees, one in each corner of the parlor, as one generous lady had them last winter, or a Father Christmas, which is even more exciting. The great point of the dancing party is, of course, the “german,” becal pretty favors that are given away are almost more dear to the childish heart than the gifts from the famous Christmas tree.

With two exceptions only, it has the largest circulation of any daily paper published south of New York, aND MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY. Every issue of THE STAR is carefully read not ouly by the citizens of Washington and ad- Jacent cities, but by the throngs of atrangers constantly visiting the National Capital on business or for pleasure, (and who constitute, in a very large degree, the purchasing popula- tion of every State and Territory in the Union), thus making it for most purposes THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. Its influence as an agent of publicity has in- deed practically no Umit within the boundaries ofthe country. The best evidence of this is the number of new advertisewents it printed inthe year 1879, which reached 20,636, averaging from 1,700 to)2,000 per month in the busy season!! These Ogures include only the sub- ject of the advertisement, and not any change of the matter, which, in some instances, is made daily, and, although a new advertisement in fact, is not counted but once, instead of 310 puo- lication Gates, The advertising books are open to the inspection of advertisers to verify thi statement, or an affidavit of its truthfulness wili be submitted.
