ACCORDING to the BrutSh Journal Of Pho
tographH it is impossible to get a superior
Photographic picture of an iron casting, or,
indeed, of any metallic object which is mot
finely polished, unless it be purposely
painted before hand in special manner
that is, with turpentine fatting-a light
color of slate being the tone most advisable,
as its Photographic value can be seen at a
glance, without the chance of miscalcula-
ton which green or brown, for instance,
might offer. This, says the Journal is
matter whose usefulness cannot be too
highly appreciated-fo the contrast be-
tween o machine, no matter how excellently
photographed, which has not been specially
painted, and the same subject with coat
ing of the fiatting, will he so great that no
one who has once seen the two would be
disposed to photograph piece of ironwork
not thus painted. 1t is essential, however,
that the color laid on be made with 30 little
oil or gold size that it will not dry patchy
or cloudy.

PEARL OYSTERS.

Ordinarily the distinctive pearl-oyster
resembles the common sort but is usually
about three inches in diameter; the pearls
are most generally contained in the shell,
but sometimes they are found in the
thiokest and most feshy part of the crea-
ture. A single oyster will frequently
contain several of these beautiful objects,
and it is on record that one has been
known to contain as many as i50. On
our American coast the species producing
the pearl has long been found in the Gulf
of California, adjoining both American
and Mexican territory. These pearls are
of excellent water, or lucidness, but gen.
orally irregular in form.

A COMPLICATED CASE.

The interminable Princess de Beauffre-
mont case is up again before the Paris
courts. The Princess, a Belgian, married
a French officer, by whom she had two
children. He and she quarreled; she sued
for separation, but failed to obtain it, her
pleas being dismissed as frivolous. She
had fallen in love with Prince George BIZ
besco, Roumanian, and to marry him
went to Germany, became naturalized, got
a divorce under German law, and was mar
ried. This made her bigamist under
French law, and her husband sued to at
tach her property in France, SO as to make
her give up the children. The civil courts
ordered her to come into court with her
children, and, as she couldn't without being
liable to arrest on criminal process, fined
her 1000 francs day till she should purge
herself of contempt. When the Prince
proceeded against the estate, he found
himself hampered by the fact that she was
Belgian by birth and German by adop-
ton, with German divorce from her
French husband; and when he tried his
luck in Germany she was discovered to be
in Roulnania, where there is no earthly
way of serving the process of the French
court on her, and the local tribunals will
take no cognizance whatever of this ex-
tremely interesting, but very complicated
case. And now even the lawyers are in

If one could inaugurate war against
church steeples without having his mo-
tives misconstrued into war against
churches, it would be good and charit-
able thing to do. The practical use of
the church steeple, if indeed it ever had
any, has long since passed away. 1t is
no longer required to direct the wander
ing worshiper in a strange town, for the
City Directory and timely notices in the
daily papers advise him precisely where
the churches are located, and other i'm
portant points in relation to them upon
which the steeples are silent. No more
can be said in defense of the steeple as a
shelter for the bell than of the bell it.
