a prominent English woman says
the American women all have high,

leaf being pounded into the tibcrs OF
the wood until it would receive no
more. Upon such a foundation the sue
cessive coats Of gum were carefully ap-
piled Not less than thirty-three
stages of treatment were given, and
often the number was sixty. Owing to
the presence of moisture in the lac, and
possibly also in the foundation itself,
the coats of gum required protection
that the hardening and drying might
take place slowly. To accomplish this
newly vanished pieces were encased
in a damp box, where they remained
full month-the shortest interval per-
mitted between two stages Of treat
ment Polishing followed each coat OF
lac. The golden grains which seem to
float in the thickness of the lac and
which are filings highly sifted on the
fresh varnish are not tawdry display
of yellow metal, but represent and be-
come an imperishable body of harmoni-
Gus color which can not be rivaled IN
pain ing or porcelain. To produce
full palette of such metallic
colors for lacquer work is an
art unknown outside OF Japan;
yet there are specimens in which 1lo
tones of metallic color may be counted.
There are also names for twelve varle-
ties of different sizes in metallic pow
ders. Although this is intricate enough
for ordinary art industries, the artistic
part of lacquers can only be begun
when this mechanical part is thor
oughly mastered When the ground
has been primed and polished and
powdered and repolished, before pro-
ceeding with other coats of lacquer
the design must be begun. Unlike
painting. where change of pigments
makes change of color, in fine lac
quer relief is given and is emphasized
! more by change in the size of metallic
powders than by color. 1t has been
often asserted that the foundation
wood of lacquers was carved to pro-
duce the relief. This may be true to
some extent in incrustations Of bronze,
silver, pearl, or porcelain. not other
wise. The relief is usually built up
with nothing else than repeated coats
of the thin lac varnish. These coats
are each subjected to the same slow
process of drying and to the accurate
polishing which makes them appear
complete in every stage OF progress

JAPANESE LACQUER.
How the Tree IL Cultivated by Order of
the Government,

the Government.
The ruhs vernicifera, an evergreen
tree from which the lac or gum is OBJ
tanned, is cultivated in every section
of Japan. As long ago rs the sixth
century an edict of the Emperor re-
quired every landholder to plant cer-
tain proportion of his acreage with this
lacquer tree, just as he was compelled
to cultivate and maintain certain
number of mulberry trees. and but for
this governmental support it is doubt
full if the art, even then widely prac-
ticed, would have attained its great
perfection. Every tree, when tapped
to obtain its gum, died in the course
of two years. The amount. obtained
from tree five years o seldom ex-
ceeded three ounces. In the noun
famous districts the tree was of slower
growth and was permitted to grow for
ten Yeas before the gum was drained.
The gum varied in quality according
to the part of the tree which exuded it,
that from the twigs being most es-
teemed and drying with superior hard
ness.
Among other uses in very remote
periods lacquer served in finishing
collins, probably for ornamentation as
much as because it rendered the wood
impervious to moisture, but its every
day uses were those which gradually
raised it more and more to place among
the arts. The gum, when applied to
the prepared wood, can be prepared
with either oil or water Modern lac
quers contain scarcely trace of the
true gum, and hence it comes that they
do not possess either the enduring
qualities or beauty of older work. True
lac will not blister or peel from the
wood, and does not change appearance
from subsection to water or heat. The
most conclusive test of this property
was in 1878, when the steamer Male,
returning to Japan, with the specimen
purchased for the Yeddo museum,
foundered in twenty-five fathoms of
water. Eighteen months after divers
employed by the Governmentrec
two hundred cases from the steamer,
and the ancient laequers were as per-
feet in joints, color and polish as when
they left the hands of their makers.

made between 1850 and 1850. SIS

What the Old Warrior Thinks tho Next
War Will Be Like.
General Sherman, asked Captain
Mattox, ''do you think if there was an
other war that as good material would
offer itself as in the last war-material
like Grant, Sherman, Thomas and 9TH
ers?'
"Why, certainly" replied the Cen
eral, there are as many good men in
the army now as there were when the
war broke out, and they'll make as
good Generals, too What they want
is the opportunity. That is what makes
men great There is the making of as
great Generals now in the army as there
was then. There always will be men
who will come to the front in times OF
great emergency, and there always
was"

man later, in answer to a question
from Captain w. G. Smith, Twill be

chine guns are terrible things, and

General" asked an inquisitive
young man, do you think that the
strong, robust young fellows from the
country made better soldiers than the
young men from the city?'
''The late war; replied the General,
demonstrated the fact that the boys
from the city could stand more fatigue
and hardship and marching than the
country boys. The boys from the
country were stronger always, butthey
were used to a regular life, and when
they got into the army the irregularity
of the life, it's hardship and exposure,
weakened and finally killed many a
strong young farmer boy. while the
boys from the big cities, being used to
irregular hours, irregular living and
unmethodical ways of life, could stand
any amount of hardship without going
under. This was proved by the war. l
SAW it proved in many cases myself.
Young city chaps were tougher in
every way They weren't SO strong
physically as the country boys, but
then they could stand the irregularity
of army life better.

In the second place. they have learned

THE PROUD QUEZZAL
Bird That Is to Guatemalans What the
Eagle Is to Us.

Eagle Is to Us.
What do you call those birds?'
asked a visitor to the store OF we'll
known down town taxidermist, point
ing to couple of feathered creatures.
bound separately in paper, with the
tails and heads protruding and show
ing a gorgeous plumage. They were
dried and ready for stuffing. The body
of each, including the head. was per-
haps five inches long, but. throwing
the tail into the measul ement. either
bird would have required a four-foot
tape to connect the point of its beak
with the tip of its longest tail feather.
One of the birds had two long feathers
in its tail, and the other had two shorter
ones; but nature, as if to compensate
for this disparity of plumage. had given
the bird that would otherwise have
been clearly at disadvantage third
and middle feather that was very long

white cotton had been stuffed into the

the quezzal, the bird of liberty, Of
Guatema.a. 1t is to be found only in
a small portion of the country, and is
now very rarely seen at all. Agentle-
man who was recently in Central
America managed to secure this pair,
and left them with me to be dressed
and mounted, the people down there
being able to only dry and preserve
them. Quezzal is to Guatemala what
the eagle is to the United States of
America-its national bird. A picture,
rather distorted. is stamped on many
of Guatemala coins and engraved on
all the postage stamps of that country.
Whether it took its name from the an
cient capital, or the old metropolis
was called after 1t, is a question not
fully settled; but Quezzal is the title
of both. The quezzal has, you must
perceive, a great advantage over the
eagle, even in is wild state, and we are
all familiar with the bedraggled APP
pearance of the Gagged eagle. Now,
the quezzal is never Gagged longer than
few hours. 1t is truly bird of lib
