HA.ND PAINTING DREssgS

The application Of hand painting to acces-
series Enthusiastically gaining fresh Importance.
The latest noveIsy IL painting on the corner
hem of China silk handkerchiefs. These
small pocket foulards are made in Paris Of
plain red, blue, or ecru for the centre, around
this figured hem is stitched. and this Ia of
printed silk, but the four corners are always
of the same color as the centre. On one of
these corners comes the painting by hand.--
The SUBJECTS are very decorative there are
birds Of paradise in tangle Of exotics !;
chariots drawn by swans or dolphins, aud
plenty of white foam splashing up and even
to the centre part Of the foulard, climbing
plants that form mass of bright color on the
corner hem, and that diminish as they taper
up to the centre Venus rising from the
waves and holding above her head shell, in
the midst of which was large shining pearl.
1t Is the proper thing TO exhibit the painted
corner. This decoration does not exclude .
worked crest and monogram, executed in en-
broidery on am opposite corner, but not on the
hem: A handkerchief Of the kind here de-
scribed costs in Paris from fifteen to eighteen
francs. The artist gains from FIVE to ten
francs for each subject. 1t is not supposed
easy to finish two In one day, as the painting
is as fine as miniature but even three In two
days rs not despicable employment, and ladies
might eDdeavor to introduce this novelty at
home. There also are exhibited new per-
fumed sachets to be laid on the centre Of
quilts and smaller pocket sachets, now used
for cardcases and photos, Instead of the stiff
leather and pasteboard, ivory, or tortoise
she'll pocket cases of the past. These sachots
owe their success to fragrance with which
the Innings and the inside are impregna:ed. -
1t is SO lasting that coat front retains the
mild perfume long after the sachet has been
removed. Sachets are also painted on the
outside by hand they have two pockets, one
under each cover these and the inner flaps
are outlined with silken cord Another sug-
gestion for the Industrious Is the application
of embossed designs applique on the quarters
of velvet parasols. They are of stamped
satin, tackled on all round the contours with
stitches that disappear under a thin silkep
cord, which is guided round over the FIRST

BEER IN ENeLAND.--A British statesman
who recently had the hardihood to put forth
the optimistic statement that the beer interest
is on the decline is severely handled by one Of
the journals devoted to the protection Of that
bibulous industry. The print In. question
draws upon the arlrory of facts aud figures
and triumphantly presents to the mortified
gaze of The advocates of temperance an array
of statistics which is not calculated to- have
an exhilarating effect upon the cold water
apostles. The first statistical shot fred by 1t
goes clear through the temperance magazine
There are, it exultingly declares, forty thou
sand breweries In Europe, and of all the
houses in England and Wales the formidable
number Of one hundred and thirteen thous-
and, or one In every forty, are devoted to the
sale of liquor IN some form or smother. This
is an enormous proportion of what ars called
"rum shops' to shops and private dwellings
which do not dispense the deadly or dilicious
beverage accordingly as 1t is regarded by its
enemies or its friends. One beer house in
every forty is record of which every beer
lover should be proud, All the religious de-
nominations put together cannot show as
many houses Of worship and schools, public
or private. But this is not the only evidences
of the couqueripg march and progress of beer
British spirits and beer represented, so far as
consumption went, IN the decade before the
last one, four hundred and fifty million dol
lars, while tho decade just close these figures
have risen to the enormous sum of seven
hundred aud eighty million dollars. In the
face of all this 1t is idle to declare that beer
is on the decline On the contrary, in the
words Of the stalwart organ, " The broad les
son remains the same--that of marvellous pro-
gress." British beer is evidently pretty
solid British institution.

To MEASURE A HIGH OBJEcr Persons
often desire to find the exact height ofan object
which they cannot climb or measure by any
direct process, as of a tree or building or
steepleg This can be readily done by meas
uring some lower object and it's shadow and
then making comparison or calcnlation. Even
a child can do 1t. Take pole of any given
height place it in an absolutely perpendicular
position measure on the level ground the
length of the shadow measure the length Of
the shadow Of the tree; then multiply the
length Of the trees shadow BY the height o.
the pole. and divide the product by the length
of the shadow Of the pole. For instance, IT
the pole is six feet high, its shadow ten, and
the shadow Of the tree fifty, the height Of
the tree will be thirty feet.

SWEET H0xE.-When two young people
love each other aud marry, they restore the
picture of the apostolic chuch. They are of
one heart and one soul. Neither do they say
that anything they possess in their own, but
they have all things In common. Their mu-
tual trust in each otaer, their entire confidence
10 each other, draws out all that il best In
both. Love Is the angel who rolls away the
stone from the grave in which we bury our
better nature, and 1t CONES forth. Love
makes all things new makes a new heaven
and new earth makes all cares light, all
pain easy. II is the one enchantment of hu-

A recent communication TO the French
Academy Of Sciences announces new method
of taking photographs In COLOR which all
though it is not solution Of the prime pro-.
blem for photoglaphers--how to photograph
nature In her own hues--is at least some me-
chanical approach TO It. 1t is the invention
Of NJ. NJ. Oh. Cross and J. Carpenter, and
consists in taking three separate photographs
Of the red. yellow aud blue tints, then CON-
bining them. Three negatives Of the object
are first taken, one through screen of orange
liquid, one through screen of green liquid.
and one through screen of violet liquid.
The varying opacties and transparences OF
these negatives indicate the relative quanti-
ties of red, yellow and blue tlnts in the object.
The proofs are taken on plates of glass coated
with coagulated albumen, which has imbibed
bichronate Of ammonia. A transparent me-
gatiye, or first photograph, is applied to one
of these, and exposed for some minutes to
diffused light, SO that the transparencies
aud opacities Of the negative shall imprint
themselves on the sensitive albumen. The
proof plate is then plunged into coloring
bath, and In the parts protected by the opa-
cities of the negative the coloring matter
spreads and fixes itself. By repeating this
operation with the three different negatives
the three colors are combined on one glass
plate, and fair imitation of the original OBJ
iect is the result. OF, course, for the image
obtained through the green screen the color
ing bath is red for through the orange screen
blue, and for through tho violet screen, yell
low. The same screens and pigments serve to
reproduce all sorts of polychromes.. The
screens hitherto used are glass vessels filed
with solutions of hloride of cobalt, Chromate
of potash and sulphate of copper. When the
electric light is used the screen is put before
the lamp, SO that the object viii be Illuminated
by a monochromatic light and photographed
in the ordinary way. s.,s sl.
