Painted Decorations.

Ladies who paint Will doubtless be much
interested TO hear that prismatic bronze
painting is now not only used for furniture
decorative purposes, but has also entered
into the service of fashion. which fayors the
idea of making painting serviceable for or
namenting articles of dress Among the
toilet appurtenances before us we can espe-
claliy mention painted satin fan, further
short chemisette or waistcoat fronts made of
velvet and with collar and cuffs to match:
also peacock-blue velvet skirt tahIier with
plastron; a very rich and effective trimming.
equally suitable for visiting dress. or an
elegant deshabille The metallic luster 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 purchased either completed or only
sketched out and begun.

not really belong there, along with her gen

CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
The population OF Boston 80. 600 Less
Than Estimated.

The complete census returns of the
state OF Massachusetts, have Just been
completed and dispatch from Bos
ton says: The population of the corn
monvealth, is given as 1,941, 465. a
gain Of 1853 $50 since 1880. Ehe males
number 932, 400, and the females 1, :
009, 036 The increase in population
has been chiefly confined to the man
ufscturing cities, and the large towns
ia the vicinity of Boston, the latter
having increased in some cases as
much as 80 per cent. The population
of Boston, which in 1875 was 81 ,91s
and in 1880 was 362 $50, has increased
to 800, 4U6. 1t has been popularity
supposed that the figures would be
about 420, 600, but when the enumera,
ton of the suburbs, cities, aud towns
began to come in it was seen that this
estimate would prove excessive. The
figures ia the past showed that the
growth of the city proper was quite as
steady IS that of the annexed territory
but the present census indicates that
the point has been reached beyond
which tine number can not grow
largely in its limited territory, and
that the increase in the future must
be in the annexed territories. The
encroachments of the mercantile in
terests upon the central portion OF the
city, and also the destruction of large
tenement houses, have continued to
neutralze the natural growth of the
city proper. This would have been
more manifest but for it's special in
crease 10 those sections by inmigra-
ton and by a large proportion of
births. The average size of 3 family
in Boston ranges from Sc in Ward
II to e.61 ia Ward TO- The number
of persons TO a dwelling varies from
6 08 10 Ward % and "a to 1901 in
Ward 6. There are certainly half a
million people who do business and
attend theatcrs in the city, but sleep
in the suburbs.

Such are few incidents which have
occurred IN connection with the bright
side of law courts from time to time.
But there is another aspect of the
question. There are the serious issues
at stake to be decided within the pre-
cincts of the building, which is sooften
the medium whence ensue wit, droll-
cry, and fun. 1t would be wrond to
suppose that mirth does. not fed a
place. and that the sublime exists
without the ridiculous, The very
presence of the latter adds charm to
the former, and often cuases away
dull monotony which we are apt to
associate with law courts and their
surroundings.

The system carried out IN Vienna
| for educating girls is certainly worthy
of notice. They are kept at their
studies until they are fifteen years Of
age. They then go through a course
of teaching IN the pantry and the
kitchen under some member of the
family, or sometimes under trained
cooks, for a gear or two years. Thus
they learn to do everything them-
selves, and to know the value of
things long before they commence
housekeeping on their own account
and, though they may never be cequir-
ed to cook dinner, they become in
dependent OF cooks and servants. The
Austrian women are most atfectlonate
wives and mothers. They are as ac
complished and learned as any Eng
hsh goyerness, and are as witty in
society as q Partisan, and are some OF
! the most beautiful women in Europe.
