of which are the most elegant and beautiful.
Ali these fine goods are of foreign manufae-
ture, but this is a condition of affairs, which,
in the nature of things, cannot long con-
tinue. Our desire for the beautiful has been
thoroughly awakened, and its satisfaction
has come to be regarded as necessity not a
luxury, and it will not be long before
American enterprise will enter into the pro-
duction of art manufactures to compete with
all the world. To this end it is necessary
that we should produce men with the busi-
ness energy of Wedgewood, and the artistic
skill of Flaxman-the men who first eStab-
lished the industry in England. The
first we already possess, and the
second will surely arise as soon
as it appears that the time
has arrived and the work may be accom-
plished, and that will be in the not far
distant future. We will then secure what
we now most sorely need, and that is really
fine work at a moderate cost. This would
be natural result of the abundance with
which it would be produced, for Americans
could never rest content with producing
goods, however fine, in such small quanti-
ties as the Sevres manufactures, OF which
but few are taken away from France, they
being mostly absorbed by the aristocracy of
that country. When that time comes we
will, perhaps, be able to teach other ma
tions something about art, as well as con-
cerning matters of a more material and
prosaic nature.

goods were seen in designs of the Louis XIV.
style, and Mr.. Harvey Wattles, who pos
sesses valuable fund Of information on
this subject, is authority for the statement
that this is the class of designs which are
now in the greatest demand, and which,
IRON all indications, will continue to be for
some time to come. He has also shown q
splendid tall vase in soft paste Sevres ware
with gold bronze ornaments, which, he says,
is class of goods that is rapidly becoming
scarce, and is now made only in
LARGE AND VALUABLE PIECES
of elaborate design, some of them costing as
high as from S2,0 900 to S. 900. This vase is
also in the Louis XIV. style, as are a num-
Der of others of similar character, including
the Doulton jars referred to above, which
present the anomaly of strictly French de-
signs in products of English manufacture.
1t is hardly necessary to call attention to
the character of these designs, as the style is
so generally known. The cuts of the two
vases of which special mention has been
made, are from pencil sketches drawn BY
Mr.. Harvey Wattles. A piece of new
Doulton ware has design in relief, carved
in while the material is yet soft. In the
colored decorations of this ware a change
has been recently made, inasmuch as the
gold lines and fretwork, formerly so freely
used, mas been abandoned, and the style of
work is less conventional.
At the store of Wattles & Sheafer some
further information was CLEANED regarding
Royal Worcester ware, to the effect that no
two pieces of it bear the same decoration,
and that every piece of it bears q stamp by
which it may be known, and some markings
under the glaze which aid as safeguards
against counterfeits. At this place may
also be seen some fine works in bronze, of
which ''The Rustic Sculptor" by E. Aizein,
and ''The Difficult Duet" by A. Gavadez,
are two of tie most important. The latter
work is from the Paris salon. Perhaps
some handsomely carved and highly orna-
mental clocks. seven or eight feet high, may
be taken as indicating the regard which
Pittsburg people have for time and time
pieces.
E. P. Roberts & Sons have some fine
works in Italian marble, of which the finest
perhaps, is the one called "Venica,"
mandolin girl. They have works of all the
different kinds mentioned above as being
seen elsewhere, and also a large number Of
pieces of what is known as Teplitz ware.

HOUSE CLEANING TO ORDER.

An Industry That Does Away With Much
Disn greenble Gossip.
There is a company here that takes the
contract for cleaning house ready for oc-
cupancy, says New York letter to the
Washington Post. It scrubs the floors,
washes the windows and paint, cleans the
cellar and the furnace, and gets all the
trash out of the dark corners and out-of-the-
way places that well-trained servant never
sees.
If there is any painting to be done it does
it, or any whitewashing, or decorating, or
papering. The chimneys are cleaned, and
the steps and the back yard and the shed,
if you have one, and, altogether. this COM
pany does work that is balm to the tired
soul.
OF course, it robs woman of the pleas
ure she generally finds in telling John,
when he gets home from the Office in the
evening, II never did see such a dirty
house as this when we came in. The woman
who lived here before had perfect hog-pen.

this well-grounded appreciation of what is
elegant and tasteful, that is placing this
heretofore prossic manufacturing city in the
front rank of art loving communities, and
making the culture and refinement OF the
greater numbers of the people one Of our most
notable characteristics. In this connection
it is worthy of remark that the late Captain
Jones, whose recent and sudden death is
mourne1 by so many thousands of persons,
was regarded as one of our best critics in
this branch of art. Being man Of keen
perceptions and quck decision, and having
been afforded unusual opportunities Of ac-
quiring knowledge through his extensive
travels and wide acqusintanee. the Captains
judgment was considered as reliable upon
most subjects on which he ventured to ex-
press an opinion.
Of the different sources from which the
supplies Of these art products are brought,

interest to our citizens, and altogether denotes
q very agreeable state of affairs. In the
first place, it shows that there is here a
large and constantly increasing class of
persons able to afford these rather expensive
luxuries, and secondly, it furnishes the
most incontrovertible evidence Of a growth
in refinement and culture which bids fair to
surpass that of any other locality. Even
such city as Chicago, which, from its size
and importance might reasonably be eI-
pected to be somewhat in advance of Pitts
burg, is in reality far behind us in the de-
mand for fine art wares. Of course, the ap-
probation OF the beautiful as displayed in
this direction is of comparatively recent
growth in this city, but it is of that steady
growth denoting an ever increasing love of
the artistic and elegant, which gives it a
character far above that of mere craze for
what is fashionable, and places it upou the
secure foundation of an intelligent regard
for the elevating and ennobling tendencies
of art.
EDUCATING THE PEOPLE.
1t was during the Centennial Exhibition
at Philadelphia that this popular demand
for fine art ware had its inception, not alone
as regards Pittsburg, but with the great
masses Of the people all over the country.
This xas the first fair opportunity afforded
to large numbers OF the American people to
gain an insight into some of the rare manu-
tactures of the Old World, and its influence
was soon to be observed in the changed
character OF the decorations of their homes.
In Pittsburg the most healthy feature of
this active demand for art products is tina
it is not by any means confined to any one
class of people, nor even to those who have
the means to readily satisfy such reasonable
desires. The wealthy people buy freely of
the most rare and expensive pieces; those
OF more moderate means purchase
with just as much taste but more
couservatively, being governed in some
measure by the question Of cost; the poorer
people. those who must exercise economy in
order to live well, and at the same time
within the limit of a small income, display
a rare judgment in the selection of lower
priced wares possessing some of the desirable
characteristics of the higher grades. 1t is

alligators and all kinds offabulous monsters,
such as grifins, dragons, etc., are pressed
into service as motives.
A MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN.
At the store of Mr.. j. G. Grogan may be
seen what is doubtless the finest piece of
Louchet ware ever brought to this city. 1t
is q very large and handsome vase, of rich
design and exquisite workmanship. This
ware is manufactured at one of the smaller
factories in Paris, but it is unsurpassed for
beauty of design and fneness Of finish by
the products of any of the larger works. At
the same place may be seen very hand
some table of rich brass, highly ornamented
and with top formed of one large piece of
Mexican onyx, and also fine cabinet Of
the same materials. There may also be
noted, among other fine works, splendidly
executed figure of an American Indian and
an excellent bust of Beethoven, both in real
bronze.
Everywhere one may 60 throughout the
CITY, the same indications of rare taste and
judgment are displayed. Beautiful designs
in all kinds OF artistic manufactures may
be seen: Art pottery, fine bronzes, pedestals
in Mexican onyx, brass, bronze and other
materials, inlaid tables, desks, etc., all

CONTRACTS WITH rHEATERs.

One coifeur-that is to say, one house
will do the business of several theaters.
The larger theaters, such as the Grand
Opera and the Comedie Francaise, pay 200
francs a month, and for this two men must
be supplied every evening. The small
places of amusement pay only 150 or 125
francs, and there are some which even pay
as little as 100. Many actresses nearly
ruin themselves by their expensive and fam
tastic methods of dressing their heads.
Sometimes a wig costs as much as 1000
francs when an eccentric fabrication is gotten
up, such as the "Tour EiffeI" or the "Cap-
tive Balloon"
The Comedie Francaise has always given
great care to the wigs of its artistes. Talma
had his head-dresses designed by David, or
other painters of renown, and he spent long
hours with the coiffeur trying different
styles which he thought appropriate to his
personages. Although ne had a good nat
ural head oNhair, he often had recourse to
wigs to obtain desired effect. Miles. Con-
tat and Lange attached such Importance to
their head-dress that during their incarcera-
tion at the Madelonnettes and at Sainte-
Pelagie, they deplored above all the en-
forced neglect that their hair suffered.
Mile. Mars placed full confidence in the
coiffeur of the Comedie Francaise, and kept
to him, but several brilliant actresses went
over to the coifeur of the Empress jose
phine. Desmarets performed wonders to
make up the little hair lett on Mars head
at her Goth year. She would consent only
with regret to the addition of false hair, de-
clar1ng that it hardened the physiognomy,
and to avoid vexing her, Desmarets found
means to make band with a few scanty
locks which be slipped in false chIgnon
without her perceiving it.

A ArALENTED HAIRDREssER.

At the present time the coifeur of the
Comedie Francaise is Auguste Petit, man
of taste apd talent, who studies the old
s.vles, and is perfectly familiar with those
that prevailed in the reigns of Louis XIV
and Louis XVI. His men may be seen in
the Rue Richelieu, but on first night, or
at a revival. Auguste himself is there
ready to criticise and suggest any altera-
tions or improvements.
These sort of hairdressers made their ap-
pearance during the first years Of the 18th
century. Before then, gentlemen used to
have their hair dressed and beard shaved by
valet de chambre, while the head gear Of
the ladies was arranged by female atten-
dants. Only those who were of noble rank
or Princes were condemned to pass through
the hands Of wigmakers and professional
hair dressers. The first in the profession
who made himself worthy name was
Legros, who published treatise in quarto
on the art Of hairdressing. he, too, died
