The Different Kinds of Engraving.

% Line engraving is of the highest
order. All great engravings are done in
''line"-simply straight lines. Next
comes cline and stipple." Stipple"
means dots-small dots like this, -.
These small dots are used to tighten up
the high parts of the face or drapery. 1t
is very hard to engrave a face in lines sim
ply, and only master engravers have ever
undertaken it. The masters understand
and practice botn cline and stipple."
Claude Mellon engraved, in 100,
full head of Christ with one unbr0ken
line. This line commenced at the apex
of the nose, and wound out and out, like
a watch-spring, until it ended in the
border of the picture. Mezzotint en-
cravings are produced thus: The steel
or copper is made rough, like fine sand
paper. To produce soft effects, this
rough surface is scraped off. If you
want a white place, or high light" in
your engraving, scrape the surface
smooth, and then the ink will not touch
it. If you want faint color, scrape off a
little. Such engravings look like photo
graphs.
Etching is adapted to homely and ia
miliar sketches. Almost all the great
painters were etchers. Etching is done
thus: The copper or steel plate is
heated and covered with black varnish.
The engraver scratches off this varnish
with sharp needles, working on the sur
face as he would on paper with pencil.
Nitric acid is then poured over the plate,
and it eats away at the steel and copper
wherever the needle has scraped off the
varnish. When the varnish is removed
wieh spirits of turpentine the engraving
is seen in the sunken lines on the plate.

Pecnliarities of Cats.

Many persons suppose that white cats
with blue eyes are deaf; this can by no
means, however, be deemed so commonly
the case as to afford a foundation for a
theory. A New Zealand correspondent
sends to Nature some interesting points
bearing on this point. ''At Tarataki,
New Zealand" he says, 81 saw a white
cat with blue eyes which was not
at all deaf, and good many ofits kittens
were white and had light blue eyes. As
many of these had perfect hearing as
were afflicted with deafness. This cat
had a grown up kitten perfectly black,
which had also some times white kittens
with blue eyes. 1t showed, as did the
old cat, a singular partiality for them.
On one occasion it happened that the
old white cat and her black daughter
had litters at the same time; among
them there was one white kitten with
blue eyes-the black cats. The two
fought fl 'rcely for possession of the COW
seted beauty and the old cat frequently
took it away and placed it among her
own. One morning the unfortunate OBJ
ject of quarrel was found divided by the
recommendation of some feline Solomon,
and each cat quite contented with the
possession OF half Both of these litters
bad some light tortoise-shell colored kit
lens among them, of which a moiety APP
peared TO have their hearing imperfect"

visiting our State that we show a larger pro-

Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury, in some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of these
agents have strong tendency to break down
the blood copuscles, and debilItate and
otherwise permanently injure the human
system, and should therefore be discarded.

the other hand, being composed of the fluid
extracts of native plants, barks and roots,
will in no case produce injury, It's effects
being Strengthening aud curative only. Sar-
saparilla, which used TO enjoy quite a repu-
