Art Criticism by the TailLrs.

The tailors of London are deVoting
their attention to artistic tailoring and,
incidentally, to art criticism from a
professional point of view. They con-
clude that few artists know how to
properly portray sitter's clothes, and
that in only one or two of the pictures
at the Royal academy can the materials
be recognized. They praise Burne
jones' paintings without stint, but
Poynter is criticised because his por-
trait of the earl of Harewood shows AN
outside breast pocket on the right side
of his lordship's coat and Halls pic
ture of Earl Spencer is a miserable fail

kettles, made to evolve on a pivot by
the employment Of steam power. These
rapidly turning kettles are used for
mixing the compounds. In the case of
the marshmallows, they are allowed to
cool after coming from the mixing
kettle, after which the mixture is
poured into molds previously prepared
for its reception by dusting with pow
dered starch. Gum drops are composed
principally of pure glucose and sugar,
mixed and boiled with other materials

"Lozenges," further explained the
proprietor, ''are first made In paste,
which is rolled out IN fat sheet and
cut by stamping machine to the de-
sired shape and size. The most steadily
popular confection is the caramel.
They are made chiefly Of the Inevitable

syrup and favored with the essences of
lemon, orange, vanilla, etc. This
syrup is allowed to cool and harden,
and is then cut into little cubes, which
are deftly enveloped in small squares of

How a Lithograph is Made.

After the photographer has carefully
studied the original drawing before
him and laid out his plan he makes a
careful tracing Of it on transparent
gelatine, on which he indicates every
shade or graduation, and this tracing is
carefully transferred to a previously
prepared stone and serves as ''key to
the entire work and for all the color
stones.
The work on stone Is drawn with a
greasy black chemically prepared
crayon, which, by the way, has to be
sharpened backward. or from the point
up, as its very brittle nature will not
allow Of its being sharpened in the
ordinary way. The greasy crayon
penetrates the stone, which is then

"What is the most particular branch

"Why SOP"
because the greatest skill, strength
and Judgment are needed to make good
stick candy. No man can learn to
make stick candy after he is grown.
l don't know why it is, but man who
Is st OK candy maker always learned
his trade when he was boy. None

see an old candy maker. Most who
learn the trade set up small retail
places of their own. 1t is far easier to
start business on almost no capital In
the candy line than in any other. A
barrel of sugar, few f1avors, little
butter and cream will start a man in
his own little factory. It stick candies

Who walk with US no moro.
Tis hard to take the burden up

They softened every frown.

Although they are no more.

HIS OWN CALENDAR.
One of the Most Remarkable Freaks
OF Nature Ever Recorded.

Twenty-eight years ago when Mrs.
Sarah Rothermal gave birth to son
there was a mark upon the back part
OF the Infants head just below and to
tie right of the base of the brain. The
parents were not superstitious. and not
a great deal OF attention was then paid
to the defect In the child's head. To-
day he is widely known, and the birth
mark upon James B. Rothermal is the
most remarkable freak in nature yet
heard of in this section Of the country.
The man, says the New York Times,
is carpenter by trade. and lives in
Springhill township, close to where the
Cheat river empties into the Mononga-
hela, Pennsylvania. He is more than
ordinarily intelligent. Mr.. Rother-
mails birthmark is not of the common
kind, its transformation with the
changing Of the moon makes 1t pecul-
lar. 1t is naturally crescent in shape
and blush in color. AS the moon is
turning the first quarter the mark be.
comes reddish hue, and the swelling
Of the flesh below it, extending dag
onally across the neck to the right
shoulder, is perceptible. The mark be-
comes redder as the moon grows older.
and the flesh swells correspOndingly.
When the moon Is full the crescent is
OF bright red and the flesh assumes a
hOrn-like roll over two inches in thick.
ness at the largest part. gradually tap
ering to point on the shoulder.
AS the birthmark grows larger as
the moon becomes full, so it decreases in
size as the moon wanes, and when the
moon is quite dark there is nothing to
be seen but the blush, crescent-shaped
mark. Singular as it may appear, these
changes have come regularly ever since
the man was born. Mr.. RothermaI
suffers no Inconvenience by the enlarge.
ment Of the neck, nor does he endure
much pain. He needs no almanac to
tell the changes in the moon, simply
placing his hand on the mark to tell its
condition. While going to school the
scholars and teacher often observed the
changes in the birthmark, and won-
dered at the remarkable regularity
with which they occurred. There are
many theories discussed by Mr.. Kother-
mails acquaintance as to the relation
of the moon to animal life, but none
has been advanced which IS satisfactory
to every one. All agree, however, that
the freak can 60 on record as the
strangest thus far observed.

Citizens in Uniform.

On public occasions the governor of
the British provinces in Australia all
appear in military uniform; yet not one

ETCHING ON JEAN PINCUsHIONs,- -
First thoroughly dry the pure, creamy
and satin like jean before the fire, as it
is sometimes damp, which causes the
ink to run. Then stretch it Carefully
on drying board with ordinary draw
ing pins. The material is now ready
for use. Use the best marking ink for
etching, as Indian ink washes out at
once. 1t should be done very lightly,
with a fine gilt etching pen, as a steel
one will make the drawing rusty look
