PICTURES on sIca B
A Sketch of the Progress of the Art OF
Lithography in America.


Lithogfaphy in America.
"Lithography is profession rather
than mechanical art" said Edward
Carqueville while speaking of his busi-
ness. THE engraving of pictures on
stone seems as yet almost an infant in
dustry," he continued, as he glanced at
large lithograph in seven colors that
hung over his desk.
''Regarding the advances made in
lithographic art, the introduction of
steam presses did much to help along
the business. There was time when
all the press work was done by hand,
and this labor made Autographs so
high that they were placed beyond the
reach of many people. Steam presses
came, however, about fifteen years
ago, and the art of engraving pictures
upon stone received new impetus.
We were then enabled to make terms
with showmen and made posters for
less money than wood-cuts could be
made. Theatrical managers came to
us, and we not only made portraits for
them, but even their bills that were
posted on boards were made by the
photographic process. Then Barnum
and Forepaugh took advantage of the
superior quality of pictures that could
be produced by engravings on stone,
and circus managers were our best GUS
toners.
Nearly all the pictures you now see
on bill-boards and in windows are lith-
ographs, Fifteen years ago hardly a
merchant in the United States thought
he could advertise by means of litho-
graphs, but now there are hundreds
who have costly pictures made. Espe-
cially is this true of tobacco firms and
patent-medicine men, who give us
large orders for advertising pictures.
''In regard to the future of the bust
ness, there are no fears that any other
process will supplant the making of
pictures on stone. We make in Chi
cago some of the finest Autographs in
America, because we have the highest
talent. The duplication of colors has
reached a high state of perfection, and
we are now enabled to produce the
sane effects with two colors that were
originally produced with six"
This matter of getting the stones
from Bavaria is expensive, as they cost
from three cents to forty cents apound.
Now am inclined to believe that there
is good lithograph stone near Hamilton,
Mo-, that can be utilized. | went there
myself about a year ago and l am sat
isfied that this stone is equal to the Ba-
varian. If this is true we can produce
Autographs at one-half their present
cost. - Chicd0O Ne2Cs.

TWO LITTLE OLD LADIES.

Twolittle old ladies, one grave. one gay,
In the self-same cottage lived day by day.
One could not be happy, because. she said,
$50 many children were hungry for bread;''
And she really had not the heart to smile,
When the world was so wicked all the while.
The other old lady smiled all day long,
AS she knitted, or sewed, or crooned song.
She had not time to be sad, she said,
When hungry children were crying for bread.
So she baked, and knitted, and gave away,
And declared the world grew better each day.
Two little old ladies, one grave. one gay;
Now which do you think chose the wiser way?

There is so little of now in our lives
It il always tomorrow. Ralph Waldo
Emerson has hkened to-day to king

to our doors, and waits patiently for
that which we may have to give. Woe

ion. 1t is next Sundays affair. Next
Sunday we will put on our souls best
clothes, partake of the bread and wine,
and get so near Heaven that our very
gloves and bonnet strings will exhale
sancity. "Peace on earth, goodwill to
men," will beam from our homeward
turned faces, and good dinner and an
evening of pleasant repose will tend to
assure us what very good people we
are, to be sure! thus to have spent q
day in the service of the Lord. We
shall fael comfortably convinced that
we have, somehow, honored the Lords
day and kept it very holy indeed

A Priests Revenge,

Mr.. Trollope tells very singular
story told by Blanco White. A priest
was condemned at Seville to capital
punishment. That the public might
be properly impressed, market day was
selected for the purpose. To be de-
graded from his sacerdotal character
he had to pass through the market
place while the powers deemed inherent
Ill the priesthood were still in his pos
session. Undegraded as yet, and un-
repentant, he dealt a malicious blow at
the people assembled to witness his
degradation. Suddenly, in the mar
ket place, he stretched out his arms
and pronounced with loud voice the
uncancellable sacramental words: Hoe
est corpus All the contents of that
vast mass were instantaneously transub-
stsntiated All the food in Seville was
forthwith unayailable for any baser
than eucharistic purposes, and Seville
had to observe the vindictive priests
last day on earth as q very vigorous
fast day." TEMPLE Bar.

A Wonderful Watch.Dial.

A gentleman connected with an Illi-
nois watch company has wonderfully
curious watch-dial. Instead of the
Roman numerals to denote the hours,
there are eleven small but very distinct
silhouette figures, representing a man
out with.his dog for days sport. At
Z o'clock he is seen starting out with
his gun and dog; at s o'clock he makes
q shot; at 9 o'clock he has sandhill
crane, which measures as long as him
self; at 10 o'clock the man and his dog
are scared at the sight of n jack rabbit,
which is sitting upon his hind legs,
with his big long ears raised above the
bushes; at III o'clock the hunter takes
a drink, and while in this attitude the
dog sits in front of his master, with his
nose pointing directly at the flask; at
II o'clock the sportsman is seen sitting
on stump and is eating lunch-the
dog is eying the piece of bread which
the hunter has in his hand. At
o'clock he starts out to fish the rest of
the day, and so he takes his dog and
fishing tackle and goes to the water; ;
at 2 o'clock the dog, which is behind
his master, has been caught with the
hook by an attempt to throw in his
line; at o'clock he and the dog are all
Strengthened out again and the line is
in the water; he has both hands on the
pole, and his foot braced on a stump
by the waters edge as though he had
a tremendous bite; at o'clock the
man has got big fish on his line,
which has pulled him off his feet and
he falls on the dog end doubles him all
up, but the man is holding fast to the

o'clock he is all Strengthened out

King Milan and the Newsboy.

A buggy stopped at the door of the
Imperial Hotel at Vienna, Austria, and
the traveller had not yet opened the
door when q newsboy vocifeously Of
fered q programme for the races. A
porter, issuing from the hotel, gave
him a twist that sent him whirling
around in most uncomfortable fashion,
and before he recovered several other
porters gathered around him, appar-
emily preparing to infict castigation.
King Milan of Servia, who had alighted
from the buggy, perceiving the diem
ma of the boy, put his hand into his
pocket and beckoned to the sufferer, who
came at once and received gold piece.
Like an arrow he darted across the
street, and. holding up his programme
in one hand, his gold piece in the other,
he started war dance, accompanying
it with the requisite war whoops. The
King laughed heartily at the spectacle.

Fertility OF Resource.

The following took place in one of
the Junior departments of our public
schools:
The teacher was hearing q class of
little fellows recite lesson and de-
tected one of them doing something
wrong. He stopped and asked what
he would do with the boy. There was
silence for while, which was broken
by little fellow, Jimmy C, who
said: LAY him over the desk. Z"
Shortly after the teacher detected
Jimmy in the same offense, and he re-
marked: "Ill lay you over the desk
after school," Some time afterward
there was a great deal of laughter
among the youngsters, and the teacher
asked what it was all about. For some
time there was no answer, but at last q
little fellow said: "I'll tell you what
we are laughing at; Jimmy has put two
copy-books on the place where he is 60
ing to get the licking. "-Victoria Colo

English and American News Gatherers

The average English reporter trusts
far too much to shorthand. When he
gets on large daily he is apt to be-
come a mere note taking machine, and
he is treated and esteemed as such
The result is that when there comes
among reporters q man who can write
"out of hrs own head" no use is made
of his capacity. The chief reporter
simply uses him as q machine, and the
man, if he be of any stamina, retaliates
by getting himself removed from the
reporting staff to some other depart
ment. Then when the occasion comes
that reporter is wanted to write an
original copy he is either not there or
he lacks the facility that comes from
practice.
The American reporter is different,
In many cases he would be unfit to
take his ~turn in the gallery" or at a
large public meeting where the paper
sends O corps for q fve-column ver-

and, like David Copperfeld's, puzzle
to himself. But he can go to a meet

Preparing and Spinning Flax.

Flax gives US two classes of yarn,
namely, linen or line yarn and tow
yarn. The processes of preparing
linen yarn are very similar to those of
preparing worsteds; of course, the ma
chimes are different in their construc-
ton, because of the difference in the
length and character of the fiber. Flax
is "hackled," beat or crushed, to make
it flexible; it is then "scutched," an
operation equivalent to combing. In
some cases the fibers are too long to
work; they are then broken by saw. 4"
