two pounds medium shade dry chrome

consistency with carriage rubbing

turpentlne, Just enough to have it
work with the brush. Do not make il
too thin. A good plan is to test the
paint on piece, of board. and add var
nish or turpentine until it dries with a
slight gloss-not too dead.
If red is desired, get the dry In dian

varnish and turpentine. as in the green
II brown is wanted. mix a little
lamp-black with the carriage-rubbing
varnish. add enough to the red in small
quantities to get the desired shade.
When ready to paint the implement

Velvet and NeIxetern.

The most convenient and probably

enriehes and agrees with every mate

dress-goods Either darker shade or
contrasting color may be used for en-
tire sleeves. deep cuffs or short sleeve
puffs, short jacket or jacket fronts.
Other accessories are in the form of
revers, pointed or full vest, collar. skirt
border and panels; in fact, many are
the uses to which these pile fabrics are
put. and they are universally becom-
ing. If a good velvet is beyond the
means. use a good velveteen. of which
there are many brands. Either velvet
or velveteen must be cut with the pile
running down, and above all the pieces
must be matched, cut alike by the
grain of the cloth or the material will

would average three-quarters of an
inch in diameter. Macadam was more
particular about weight than about
size. His idea was that each stone
should be six ounces in weight, and,
with that end in view, his help carried
balances with which to test the weight
of the stone.
In the Telford road it was evidently
the idea to put the large stones at the
bottom, in order to prevent the soft
ground from working through. BY moi
breaking this stone labor is saved, but
worn places may reach the rough rocks.

of the box, one six inches from the

A Young Portuguess's idea of what IL Il

Portuguese boy in a Malacca schoo
was told 10 write a composition telling
all he knew about the English. Thi;
is what he wrote, the spelling being
amended except in the one marvellous
word, "docut," which means dog cart
English is very proud and very
white. They are mostly governors
schoolmasters. policemen. magistrates
and a few are lawyers and doctors ant
banks and many other things. The,

and ride in docuts- Some English
goes to church. out only once. They
are clever tennis aud ball games anc

One Of their great delights is smoking

at all things NV father says Portu.

fish what Is caught. Father is black
and ugly, but making nets English Is
very fierce. If anybody does anything
they swear dam. English women is
few. They ride and play the music
and sing and make faces 1t is easy
no work nor little houses. I don't
know any more English. That is all

The small community of Englishmen
in Malacca looks upon the circulation
OF this composition as very bad joke,
but the residents elsewhere say that il
is so true that il this Portuguese boy
could only be taught spelling he would
prove a second Rudyard Kipling.-Chi-
