ture niade of ebonized wood, iI Wmita
tion of the rich ebony and gold more
common In the Eastern llemisphecre, Is
quite popular, and there are few tine
furnituro stores Itn thle cly i Which
more or- less of It Is not displayed. Some
superb spelcimeIs are to be seen at the
dealers', where they attract muich at
tef4tion. The process ofebonizing wood
Is colparatively simple, and hats beena
described as follows: Tie wood 1s first
stained with a decoction of logwood,
which may be purchased froma any
druggist or dealer in dye stuffs. It Is
dissolved in warm water until all laus
been taken tp that-the water will hold.
Application to the'woou Is made ready
with a large, soft bristle brush, and the
surface is rubbed with a cloth to pre.
Vent the formation of a gummy coat
thereou. After the article has been left
to dry for a few hours the second appil
cation, which conivsts of vinegar in
which a quantity of nails or clean fIl
ings have been soaked for se veral days,
Is also freely laid on with a brush.
The moment the vinegar touches the
wood It combines with the logwood so
lution in the pores, making ai ink
which is a permanent jot black stair..
''lhe influence of the iron fin the vinegar
18 all important, and it is relily that
which does the work. If any tendency
to grayness is noticed a second treat
ment with the logwood and vinegar is
necessary, but this seldom happens if
the materials have been properly u(sed
in the first instance. When perfecdy
dry, the article is varnIshed and rubbed
down, or fluished with furniture oil
well rubbed in. A dead black surface
is what ia sought after Cherry is coi
sidered the best wood for eboizing,
and the firnittate to whiCh1 we have re
ftrreid Is most, generally known t . the
trade as ebonized cherry. Whilte wood,
liaple and beech are, however, used
with good eit'eet. Any close grailed,
dense wood will ansiwer. Ash, chest
nut and oak are not suitable.

A Legal Decision.
ihe following anecdoto Illustrating the
legal subtletyof Hindoo, is told by Dr.
Scuddor, of Brooklyn, formerly a mission
ary in India. Four men, partners in busi
nees, bought sone cotton bales. That the
rats might not destroy the cotton, they
purchased a cat. Thoy agreed that each of
the four should own a particular log of the
cat, and each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg thus apportioned to him.
' he cat, by accident, injured one of its
legs. The owner of that member wound
around it a rag soaked in oil. The cat, go
ing too near the licarth, set this rag on fire,
and being in great pain, rushd in among
the cotton bales where she was accustomed
to hunt rat. The cotton thereby took fire
and wias burned il). It was a total loss.
'Thie three other part.ncrs brought a suit to
recover the value of the cotton, against the
partner who owned this particular leg of
the cat. The judge examined the case anid
decided thus. The leg that had time oiled
rag on it was hurt ; the cat could not use
that leg-in fact, it heild kip the leg, and ran
with the other three legs. The three un
hurt legs, therofore, carried the fire to the
cotton, and alone are culpable. The three
partners who owied the three letis with
which the cat ran to the cotton will pay
the whole value of the bales to the partner
who was the proprietor of the injured leg.
