ed, from which copies can be taken, as
many and as readily as from tihe ordin-
airy photographic stone! The discoverer
Is Joseph Albert, of Munich, and the
discovery has been successfully intro
duced in this country by Edward Bier
stadt, brother of the wcll-known artist.
Mr. B. recently gave an exhibition of
the process in Boston. The manner in
which the plate is produced, is described
as follows:
An ordinary Photographic negative
of any object is first taken. Then
Photographic negative of any picture is
sent to this company, and they under
take to strike off thousands of accurate
copies i'll few days. A plate of glass
half an inch thick is covered with So
luton of gelatin and bichromate OF pot
ash, which, when dry, is again covered
with similar appliance so as to render
it fixture. The film or albuminous
SuDSiitllCS IL tllCu WitSuCIt III Colti water
to take out the bichromate of potash.
The negative is then placed upon the
upper side of this prepared thick glass
and both exposed for an hour or two to
the light (thc time varying with the
strength of the lighN until the impress
sion is pcrfect Then you have to all
intents and purposes Il photographic plate.
From which any number of copies can
be taken.
BY this method, copies from nature,
or from cngravln9.s or paintings can be
obtained as correct as the ordinary pho
tograph, and far more faithful than by
any ordinary process of drawing and
engraving, and at cost less than for
anordinary lithogYaph.
The more elaborate the picture Or
landscape, the longer the engraver takes
to transfer it to the stone, but Mr.. Bier
stadt does not consume & minute longer
than the plainest of pictures or outlines
require under this new and simple pro-
cess. Merchants can have their houses
OF business represented upon their paper
wrappers, and the poorest can possess
faithful copies OF renowned artistic
works.
The value OF such discoveries to the
masses il almost incalculable, and must
do much to establish /. correct taste in
works of art in America, as the pictures
are comparatively cheap.

prettier to say: Euphonosia, darling,
does the excessive closeness of the at
mosphere cause perspiratiye affection
to overcome the angelic phisicalissi-

one must not say: "You bet, old hoss, -
but she may gasp a little gasp, and
softly silibate: "Alphonso, dearest,
your solicitude for my comfort has led
you to devine the exact nature of my
present situation" After this, the
blamed fools may do as they please.
We can't be giving advice ali the time.

HAVE You ENEMIES straight and
don't mind them. If they get in your
way, walk around them regardless of
their spite. A man who has no enc
mics is seldom good for anything; he is
so easily worked that everyone has a
hand in it. A sterling character is one
who thinks for himself and speaks what
he thinks; he is sure to have enemies.
They are as necessary to him as fresh
air, they keep him alive and active. A
celebrated character who was surround
ed by enemies used to remark: They
are sparks, which, if you do not blow,
will go out themselves" "Live down
prejudice" was the Iron Dukes motto.
Let this be your feeling while endeavor-
ing to live down tho scandal of those
who are bitter against you. II you stop
and dispute, you do as they desire and
open the way for more abuse. Let the
poor fool talk-thcre will be reaction

who were once alienated from YOU. will

.ror.

DRUG STORE PERIL.-A correspondent
OF the New Orleans Picayune makes
some pertinent remarks on the unlawful
licensing of uneducated druggists. As
an illustration of the vital importance
of u thorough knowledge of medical
chemistry to qualify person for COM
pounding prescriptions, it may be men
toned that not long since u physician
tried an experiment to satisfy himself as
to the extent of the danger incurred on
account of ignorance in this regard.
Calling at II certain drug store he pre-,
sented the following prescription:
Hydrarg. clor. mitis, grs. X; soda
bloarb, grs. X; ammonia murias., grs.
X" Saying he would call for the mix
ture i'll q few minutes, he turned as if
to go, when the druggist, in an excited
tone, called him back.
Doctor" said the latter, ct can't
make up these ingredients for ANYBODY
to take! You must have made a mis-
take"
How SOP" said doctor.

all tho ingredients to constitute corro-
sive sublimate ?"

s:e' 1t is said that the reason Presi-
dent Grant failed to attend the funeral
of William II. Seward is, that Just at
that time one of his sorrel horses was
threatened with illness, and as the loss
of tLat horse would have broken up
the sorrel pair, the President, instead
of going to the funeral, remained at
home to nurse l.is horse. This proves
that Grant has a great deal of horse
sense.

SAD CONSEQUENCES OF DRuGGIsT's
BLuNDER. Max Adeler gives an account
of dreadful accident which recently
befell a young man in Louisville incon-
sequence of the blundcr of u druggists
clerk. The youth, it seems, went to
the drug store and asked for some CO.
loyne when the amateur man slayer be-
hind the counter, by some unpardona
BILE mistake, handed him bottle of
mucilaTe. The unconscious victim
went straight onward to church, where
he sat by the side of being to whom
he WAS endearcl. During prayers, he
thought he would sop his handkerchief
with cologne, so he turned the mouth
of the bottle upon the linen and gave it
four or five shakes. During the ser
mon it occurred to him that it would
perhaps be Il good ching to blow his
nose. So he graspea it with the hand
kerchief and held on tight for minute
or two until the operation was complet-
ell. 70 his dismay he found that the
handkerchief would not come off with
out tearing the skin with it. So he held
his hand up to it, and wanted to make
the congre cation believe that his nose
was bleeding, which they didn't, but
conceived an idea that he smelt some
thing bad; while the minister, seeing
the tears that stood in his eyes from the
pain in his nose, preached right at him,
under the impression that the unforiu-
nate youth was affected by something
in the sermon. When his arm got tired
he took his hand away and let the hand
kerchief hang there alone. And SO he
marched down that aisle, to his dwelling
place, with that flag of truce tlutteriny
in the breeze. His loved one walked
not with him upon that beautiful Sab
bath morning because she thought he
would attract too much attention, and
she was shocked ut such outrageous
conduct in II house of worship. After
soaking his nose for an hour in hot
water, he called in to macerate the drug
clerk, and then went around to make
up with his darling. She was easily
pacified, but it took month to fade the
rOseate hue from that nose.
