How to Splita Sheet Of Paper.

1t is one of the most remarkable
properties of that wonderful product,
paper, that it can be split into two or
three even parts, however thin the
sheet. We have seen leaf of the H.
IuStrated NeaoS thus divided into three
thin leaves. One consisted of the sur
face on which the engravings are prin-
ted another was the side containing
the letterpress, and perfectly blank
piece on each side was the paper that
lay between. Many people who have
not seen this done might think it impos-
sible yet it is not only possible but ex-
treinely easy, as we shall show. Get a
piece of plate glass, and place on it
sheet of paper; and then let the latter
be thoroughly soaked With care ard
little dexterity the sheet can be split
by the top surface being removed. But
the best plan is to paste piece of cloth
or strong paper to each side of the sheet
to be split. When dry, violently and
without hesitation, pull the two pieces
asunder, when part of the sheet will be
found to have adhered to one and part
to the other. Soften the paste in wa
ter,and the pieces can easily be removed
from the cloth. The process is gener-
ally demonstrated as matter of curios-
ity, yet it can be utilized in various
ways. If we want to paste in scrap
book a newspaper article printed on
both sides of the paper, and possess
only one copy, it is very convenient
to know how to detach one side from
the other. The paper when split, as
may be imagined, is more transparent
than it was before being subjected to
the operation, and the printing ink is
somewhat duller, otherwise the two
pieces present the appearance of the
original if again brought together.
Sons time ago the information of how
to do this splitting was advertised to
be sold for considerable sum. We
now impart it to all OF our readers g"a
tuitously.-BrjtiSh and Colonial Sta
tiOHer and Printer.

Samuel ], Tilden's Mansion.

The exterior of the mansion of ex-
Governor Samuel j. Tilden, which is
now being finished in Gramercy Park,
is almost completed, but inside consid-
cradle work remains to be done. One
year ago, when Mr.. Tilden decided to
transform the buildings, Nos l3 and
10 Gramercy park, into one house it
was his intention to spend about $780,
600, but it is said that before the work
is finished several hundred thousand
dollars will have been spent. Traces
of the Gothic style of architecture are
noticeable in many parts of the struct-
ure, no conventional rules having been
followed. The work has been done
under the personal supervision of Mr..
Tilden, who several times a week
visits the mansion and carefully ex-
amines the work, often suggesting al
terations. The house has frontage
of 60 feet and depth of llO feet,
The front is based ON jersey brown
stone, with a superstructure of delicate
pink Scotch sandstone. Narrow belts
OF Maine granite separate the rative
and imported sandstone, The Maine
stone is highly polished. There are
two entrances to the house, the main
one being that which formerly led tC
Mr., Tlldens old building, AT this en-
trance four columns of polished gran
ite support handsome porch Abov,
the columns are four half length fig
ures, representing the season of tn,
year. A slab of polished granite forms
the top of the. porch Between tn
two bay windows which run up to tn
| third Hoor, in large panel of brow
stone, the heads of Shakespeare, Mil

Politeness in Sweden.

The Swedish men and gentlemen are,
as a rule, singularly handsome, and po-
lite in the extreme. A peasant of the
lowest order never passes fellow-peas-
ant without a polite lifting of the hat.
1t matters not whether they meet in
the highway or the field; in the midst
of all their hurry and toll this mark of
deierence one for the other is never for
gotten. | remember very well when
Miss Thursby was in Gothenburg last
winter, as she stood at my window,
which commands view of the entire

Ben. Franklin in France.
now KING LOUIS REQUIRED FIFTY AssIs-
TANrs TO HEIP HIM CHANGE SHIRTS.


This entertaining picture of Franklin
as the American representative to
France and the French court is given
in an article entitled "One hundred
years ago" in the Manhattan:
Louis XVI, when Franklin came to
France to stay, was in his twenty-third
year, and had been king less than three
years. He had not yet shown that
tendency to gain flesh which was he
reditary in his family, and which makes
him appear in portraits and on coins OF
later period as a corpulent person,
with hanging cheeks and double chin.
He was slim and appeared boyish. In
fact, he appeared hardly day older
than when he was married and he was
married before he was sixteen. The
queen, a twelve month younger than
her husband, had ripened earlier than
he, and looked fully her age. The sor-
rows which darkened her after years.
and which have made the name of
Marie Antoinette synonymous with
misery, had not yet overtaken her. In
1856 she was still as Edmund Burke
described her, "a delightful vision, dec
Grating and cheering the elevated
sphere she moved in, full of life and
splendor and JOY"
The court was apompous parade and
conducted with all the ceremonies which
had come down from the fourteenth
Louis. The mobiles filed the kings
drawing room or his ante-chamber at
all hours. He was never alone, except
at rare intervals he managed to steal
away and make locks. He was dressed
and undressed, washed and combed un-
der the eyes of forty or fifty persons,
and by certain prescribed and rigid
rules The operation of putting on his
shirt every morning was something
fearful and wonderful. The grand mas
ter of the wardrobe drew off the kings
night shirt by the right arm and the
first valet of the wardrobe by the left
arm, and both of them united in hand
ing the night shirt to an officer of the
wardrobe. Another valet of the ward
robe then brought clean shirt, but he
had no right to hand it to the persons
who were to put it on the king The
honor of handing the clean shirt to
those persons was reserved to the sons
aud daughters of France, or, in their
absence, to the princes of the blood, or
those legitimized, or, in default of these,
to the grand chamberlain or to the first
gentleman of the bed chamber. The
shirt having been regularly and form
| ally delivered. the first valet of the
wardrobe and the first yalet de chdnabre
held up the garment by the right and
left sleeves respectively, while two other
Wallets extended dressing gown in
front of the king to serve as screen.
Behind this screen his majesty at last
got the shirt on his back. Every day,
Immediately after being dressed, the
king said his prayers. And it is to be
hoped that he never failed to offer up a
devout thanksgiving for having passed
safely through the awful process of put
tinu on his shirt
