How to Make CrayOn Portraits.
BY f. W. CURRIER.

Supply yourself with some charcoal
pencils, stretcher covered with
hatman's crayon paper. and chamois
skin palette, a chamois stamp, tor
tillons, a porte crayon, some sticks of
black Conte crayon No 8, some finely
pulverized pumice stone, an easel,
a mahl stick. Having now pur-
chased your materials, you pro-
ceeded to sketch the head you are &C.
ing to make with lead pencil on
thin, smooth paper. Having made
the sketch, rub charcoal entirely over
the back. Now lay this sketch over
the stretcher and trace the outlines
with hard led pencil on the sketch,
remove the sketch, and you will find
the drawing nicely transferred on the
stretcher.
Now grind up some crayon very
fine with emery paper, and saturate
the chamois palette. Dip your
chamois stump into the crayon sauce
and work in the principal shadows,
preserving their form and depth.
After the crayon is thinner on the
stump, rub in the half tints. After
this is done take tortillon and place
in your porte crayon holder and work
in the shadows all over the face, even
ing up the shadows and smoothing
up the entire face. Mix some of the
pulverized pumice stone with the
powdered crayon and rub this pre-
paration over the background and
drapery with the end of your finger,
using a circular motion. By prac-
ticing On drapery awhile you will ac-
quire the knack Of doing this evenly
and without any difficulty. Preserve
the shape of the high lights, also the
catch lights in the eyes. Never rub
the shading of background over the
head. Let all the shading of the
background be at the sides. Back of
shoulders, and extending above them
trife, a little higher toward the
edges of the portrait, piece of
Green's ink eraser can be used in. the
porte crayon holder to advantage at
times for cleaning up shadows where
they are too dark; also for working
backgrounds. A jet black background
is sometimes suitable for portraits
where the drapery is white, This can
be best made by rubbing the crayon
all over the surface of the background,
and then smoothing it up and rubbing
it in with the finger or thumb. In
making lace, rub in the shadows and
rub in the half tones all over the
lace. Then pick out the pattern and
high lights with a piece Of Green's
ink eraser. In this way the effect
obtained is beautiful, and it is the
easiest way of doing it.
Point crayon work is much more
difficult. The portrait is entirely
stippled over with the point Of No.
8. black Conte crayon. Some artists
use a crayon sharply pointed, and
draw in lines very lightly over the
shadows and cross them with a
parallel lines, making diamond-shaped
interstices all through the shadowed
side of portrait. The crayon must be
worked very lightly in doing this
class Of work. For amateurs, we
would advise them to stick to the
stump and tortillons. Very fine
portraits can be made by this method
alone. Considerable practice will be
necessary before the pupil will be able
to execute fine portraits; but by
following the directions given one
may be able, after little patient
practice, to do a satisfactory piece Of
work.

CHERRY WORDS.
For the citizens of Tyler and Smith County, as Uttered by John M. Adams. of
 tic firm of Mckay E
 Adams, Druggists.

I have been practical druggist in Tyler for number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended preparations or patent medicines on the market, and as have suffered untold misery myself. the past number of years, from severe form of intlammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me, I had almost drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, was induced by friend now living in Tyler to try preparation known as 3 B, or Botanic Blood Balm, and after a long persuasion on lis part 1 finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible allie tion and it now affords me the great est pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county that I am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which l consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known to man. have been subject to infam- matory attacks since ten years of age, and up to the present time have had four. The last spell came on me in No- yember, 1885, over a year ago, at which time l was confined to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produced by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. E. B., up toI that time 1 had only eaten six meals, ] and could scarcely sit up without sup port but after using three bottles II was able to relish my meals and to walk up town, and after six bottles had beenI used. thank heaven, l was entirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When I returned toI business in February. my weight was l45 pounds. but gradually increased until my regular weight was again at tained, 2l0 pounds. The noticeable fact in what have so cheerfully stated is. that this unparalleled a0d remark able discovery, B. B. B., cured me i'm mid winter. at the very time my suffer ings and misery were the greatest. II take it on myself, as practical drug gist, to heartily, cheerfully, as well asI conscientiously recommend this glori- ous blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not only myself, but the firm of Mckay & Adams, who handle it. will cheerfullyl indorse it's superior merits. ].
