For CODying Drawings.

A new method of copying drawing
which may be found of service, is giyl
in the Deattsches Baatmge1cer5e Bal
Any kind of Opaque drawing paper
ordinary use may be employed for til
purpose, stretched in the usual wd
over the drawing to be copied
traced. Then the paper is soaked wit
benzine by the aid Of cotton pad TIL
pad causes the benzine to enter til
pores of the paper, rendering the late|
more transparent than the finest trad
ing paper. The most delicate lne|
and tints show through the paper $
treated, and may be copied with TIL
greatest of ease, for pencil, Indian inl
and water colors take equally well on
benzinized surface. The paper
neither creased nor torn, remainin
whole and supple. Indeed, penc
marks and water color tinting last be-
ter upon paper treated in this way tina
on any other kind Of tracing paper, til
former being rather difficult to remoy
by rubber. When large drawings Al
to be dealt with, the benzine treatmel
is only applied to parts at a time TIL
keeping pace with the rapidity of Al
vancement with the work. When Il
copy is completed the benzine rapid
evaporates, and the paper resumes
original and Opaque appearance Nith0
betraying the faintest trace Of the be
zine. III it is desired to fix lead pen
marks on ordinary drawing or tracl
paper, this may be done by wetting
with milk and drying in the air.

Miss MARY GARRETT, sister of Rob
ert Garrett, Of Baltimore, is a great
business woman. Says one of her &C
quaintances: SIT seems incredible,
but it is the truth, that this young lady
has virtually handled the Garrett rail
road and banking interests ever since
one of her brothers was attacked with
disease and the other lost his life. She
is not yet thirty years of age, and is a
handsome woman of the blonde type.
She obtained her business training from
her father, to whom she was a constant
companion in his later years, and she
turned it to good account when the
Garrett family was actually deprived
of a male head. She has made Robert
Garrett wealthier man than he was
when his father died"

The Wakefield Brothers, of Reid
vile, S. c., have obtained peculiar
revenge on that town. Reidville did
not name the High School, for which
they had given the land, in their honor.
One of the brothers died recently, leav-
ing the property to the other. The
latter died ten days ago, leaving 5000
acres of land surrounding the town to
his sister. At her death it goes in
trust for ninety-nine years to the Pro
bate Judge of the county. At the ex-
piration Of that time it goes to heirs.
The effect of this is to kill the town,
because it cannot get land on which to
build for a hundred years.
