PAINTED DEooRAToSs.-Ladi who
paint will doubtless be much interested
to hear that prismatic bronze painting
is now not only used for furniture deco
ratIve purposes, but has also entered
into the service of fashion, which favors
the idea of making painting serYiceable
for ornamenting articles of dress.
Among the toilet appurtenances before
us we can especially mention a painted
satin fan, further short chemisette or
waistcoat fronts made of velvet, and
with collar and cuffs to match; also a
peacock-blue velvet skirt tablier with
plastron; very rich ana effective trim
ming, equally suitable for a visiting
dress, or an elegant dishsbille. The
metallic lustre of this peculiar, and yet
in the execution easy style of painting.
is doubly striking when seen by candle
light. The different things can be pur-
chased either completed or only sketch
ed out and begun.

Useless weapons.

II was at Ell Teb that I was first
struck with the inferior quality OF the
English bayonet and sword bayonet.
At Tamai, in the rush and scurry. IL
was put to a severer test than anywhere
else in the Soudan. In that battle the
Hadendowas, as they rushed out OF
their grass cover with their short spears,
fairly pitched themselves upon the wea-
pons of our Black Watch and Sixty-tith.
The triangular bayonet ofttimes bent
and twisted. On the whole, however,
it stood the test better than the sword
bayonet. Like the sword bayonet, IL
often bent like hoop iron when thrust
was made, If bone interpoSed, and be-
came corkscrewed in tine struggle.
1t has two serious drawbacks, not so
observable in the sword bayonet. The
wound II makes is slight, so that
fanatical savage or infurlated man Ie-
ouires several thrusts before he is placed
horse de combat, giving him a chance
to run amuck among civilized troops.
In the second place, the triangular
bayonet, when thrust violently, goes too
far, and there is great difficulty in free
ing IL. At Tamai a stalwart soldier
hooked his opponent in such manner
that ne had to draw the body twenty
wards. as we were retreatlng, before
liberating his weapon This was the
| most conspicuous instance of the kind
saw, but it was by no means the only
one.
TIE sword bayonet has weight with
! out breadth, and with the cutlass, ire
quently lacks temper. l have seen a
blue Jackets sword bayonet at Tamai
as well as some in the battles up the
Nile. bend in a semicIrcle and remain
in that shape, uniting it for a second
sspoint.n The use il was put 10 did not
Justify the giving way of the weapon.
The fact that il did lot regain its form
further proved that the quality OF the
blade was of the poorest. 1t would
have gone the same way had 1t been
driven backwardly into sack OF flour.
There can be no real difficulty with
our mechanics and workshops IN pTocu-
ring bavonets that will bear the brunt
of rough usage in acampaign. W hat
have said of the bad qualities OF the
cutlaSs applies equally to the sword
bayonet. MANY soldier at Abu klea
saw with dismay his bayOnet rendered
useless at the moment when there was
no chance to lead his rife, and when he
| most stood in need of its services.
There also l saw sword bayonets bend
and twist with the facility of soft iron
rather than steel. After the fight yeu
might have noticed brawny foot guards
men, herculean life guardsmen, and the
deft fighters of the mounted infantry,
all of whom had stood shoulder tC
shoulder in the square, Strengthening
their bayonets across their knees or un-
| der foot. Others tn re were who dis
caried their distorted weapons and
picked up some dead comrades from
| the field.

Is case of a burn or scald, the essen
tial thing is to exclude the air from the
injured member as quickly and as CON-
plete1y as possible. This may be ac-
complished by immersing the injured
part in water, not too cold, and then as
quickly as may be. cover with flour, to
the depth of an inch, if possible, with
drawing the burned part from the water
only as fast as the -four can be applied,
thus preventing pain. Caution: Never

A TEST FOR LEAD.-To test the ena-
mel or timing of cooking vessels, etc, f,

drop of strong nitric acid placed on the
enamel or timing and evaporated to
dryness by gentle heat. The spot
where the acid has taken place is then
wetted by drop of solution of POTASH
um iodide-five parts iodide TO 100 OF
water-when the presence of lead is at
once shown by the formation of yellow

Prison Labor Agitation.

An agitation has recently been or.
ganized in Germany against the pro-
duction of artificial flowers IN PruSsian
State Prisons. The opponents of the
system have urged its injustice in their
representations to the Government, but
the official replies bring forward the
fact that the varying population of the
prison must be occupied in work which
does not require long period of inStruc-
ton, if their labor is to be at all pro-
ductive. The argument is likewise
adduced that large proportion of the
flowers thus made are exported, and
that the national industry has not really
suffered such grievance as might be
assumed. 1t seems, therefore, that
prison agitation is not confined to this
country alons In its relations I'd the
labor enigma.

A Curious Scene.

A curious scene was enacted in one
of the subterranean vaultsof the Treas.
ury Department, reminding one OF
smuggleTs or pirates in their caves oil
miSers counting their boarded gains.
The feeble glimmer of TWO or three gas
lets permitted glimpse OF hundreds
of small sacks bulging out with wealth
while beneath one of the dim Jets were
three men seated around common
pair of scales on low wooden stand.
Fr, IN the interior of the vault negro
messenger brought out the little sacks
one by one, each sack with the figures
of 81 600 marked upon it in large b acs
letters. AS it was laid upon the scales
one of the gentlemen made mark up.
on its tag, another looked intently at
Its weight and the third kept tally.
Then the bag was borne away INTO the
darkness OF the vault again.
The money OF the government was be-
ing counted, as is usual upon the change
of treasurers, and the work had CON-
menced sin the silver vault" under
the supervision of the committee re-
Gently appointed. In the vault are
stored away nearly nine million STAN
dard silver dollars and about $3.50, ,OOC
in fractional silver. The dollars are
kept in sacks holding just thousand,
and as each sack weighs SO! pounds,
and is in size nearly foot square, one
can easily imagine that it would be a
difficult matter for thieves TO carry on
many thousands even could they pene-
trate the vault. On commencing the
count the committee opened several OF
these bags, AID, selecting that one
which contained the most abraded and
WON coins, counted them and then
weighed the whole bag.
''Fifty-nine pounds and one ounce, u
said the man at the scales.
"Then we shall conduct the count
on that basis" answered another mem-
ber of the committee. If the bags
weighed trihe more it was known
that the 81 ,0OO was intact, but if they
weighed less they were opened and
counted.
