Tho heart is made of ono kind of wood nml tho nrrow of another. Tho question Is, Hoir did tho arrow get into the heart ( A NOVKL PUZZLE. Scientific American, lu which tho illustra tion orlglnnlly opxared, explains tho ap parent impossibility. Tho heart is of black walnut and tho arrow is of has.-, wixxl, llass wood, ui all may not know, can bo enor mously compressed, after which it tuny bo steamed and expanded to itsorigin.il volume. This oculiur property is tho key to tho secret, ono end of tho arrow was thus com pressed, mid in its compressed state was passed through tho aperture of tho heart, after which It was expanded. Advantngo has lx-cn taken of this principle In tho manu facture of certain kinds of moldings. Tho portions of the wood to Ikj loft In relief aro ilrst compressed or pushed down by suitable dies below tho giuernl level of the board then tho Ixiard is pinned down to a level tin face, mid afterward steamed.

A folding screen Is now nn almost neces sary nrtldo of furniture, nml few things nro moro useful. As hniidson, throo fold screens nro expensive, many ladles manufacture tholr own by first having a plnln friiino made by n earjx;ntor. Tho frames can Ixi of common pine.

Then, If tho cover Is not embroidered and you wish to decorate It, it is Ixsit to do wo Isjforo putting on tho other sldo. Kor Instance you tack on tho rod Canton flannel, and by using brass headed tncks you can finish tho edges very prettily. If plain tacks nro used, it is lx-st to flnlsh tho edges with a narrow gimp, or with black braid, herring bono stitched with gold silk; tills makes a particularly pretty llnlsh. Now for tho decorations. A few Japanese fans, ns varied In shux mid color as possible, nro to lie sowed on tho dlirorcnt panels. A small umbrella, with the stick broken out und sowed on lint, lixiks very well. Then tnko a medium sired umbrella, of ns bright color as jmssI1i1i and without llguros, tko out the stick and cut the umbrella In half ; ono-half will look well put on ono of the panels, low down; then tho other half cut In two ugnln, and lit one piece In tho upix-r cor ner of a panel, and tho other piece lu tho lower corner of tho jmnol farthest removed from its counterpart. It ndds very much to Ilnish the top of the screen with llttlo gilded .mils. These can Ikj purchased nt nlmost nny :oy shop. After the dci orations are all sewed on one side, lay tho screen down and tack on tho plain flannel. A TllREn lANKI.En BCIIKKN'.
