OUTLINE WORK.
Good Drawing Essential to Successful Art
AllstOn's Advice.

AllstOn's Advice.
From Scribner's
painter may be blest with every gift of ma
ture, but unless he has acquired the art of de-
sign he can never express himself. If you
would not be tormented by a consciousness Of
having noble and beautiful conceptions to
which you cannot give birth, you must give
much of your time to drawing. For this pur-
pose 1 should recommend course Of study
somewhat different from what is generally
pursued. 1 would devote nv attention prin-
cipally to outline. 1t is perhaps we'll enough
to learn how to make finished drawing, but
when you have once done that your time had
better be spent in making drawings of
the figure in highly studied outline
only. My own practice is to make a
finished outline always before touching
the brush to canvas. l draw the out
lines of such figures as intend to drape max
ing out the figure as nicely as il it were to be
painted naked. l take a large, rough piece of
common chalk. which makes a broad mark,
and then with my finger or a bit of bread can
rub out a portion and thus get little more or
little less much better than by using a fine
point. When l have arranged the contour of
my figure or head trace the final outline with
lumber. l would recommend your studying
your outline as highly as if 1t were not to be
disturbed, but when you paint use your brush
as freely as if you had outline to go by.
Ills Is the only way to avoid the hardness of
effect which Is apt to arise from a close study
OF the outline. frequently pain: my figures
over the outline and let my background en-
croach upon the contour of the figure again
several times i'll the course of the painting.
The process of shading with chalks or PEN
ellis is, more strictly speaking. painting, but it
is painting with the very worst OF materials. l
know of no better exercise i'll drawing than the
study of Faxmans .Illustrations;' and would
make it rule to copy two or three figures from
them every day. This, of course, l recon-
mend as an initiatory study. After YOU have
acquired readn OF giving the air and spirit
OF the figure. preserving the proportions, you
will then have recourse to nature and the an
tiquc with great advantage.

ON the rocks.
LABOR OASIS IN THE NORTH WOODS.
Quite group of capitalists, newspaper men
and others leave tomorrow night for DolgeviIle,
the picturesque little village on the south face
of the Adirondack wilderness where Alfred
Dodge has developed his wool-felt industry and
put into practice his famous views on the dis
tribution of surplus wages. Every year about
this time there Is notable gathering at which
Mr.. Dodge announces the result of the year and
distributes his awards with kind but discrim-
mating hand. For it is The very foundation of
the Dodge system that the laborer must earn
his extra wage by superior excellence in
the performance of duty. 1t is Just
here that Ar. Dodge carefully dlscriminates
between his own system and what is known as
profit sharing, he taking the ground that under
the latter system the indOent and ignorant
share in the rewards due to their more indus
trious or capable co-laborer. He has there
fore devised a science of wages which rewards
the laborer according to his record. and the re-
suit has been quite remarkable. The system,
however, does not depend entirely upon indi-
v!dual merit. as it is supplemented by commu-
mai features. such as public schools, museums,
and the like, which In Mr.. Dolges own phrase,
depreciation. The Adirondacks are scarcely
a pleasure resort in midwinter. yet this
annual gathering is SO unique and SO important
| as to collect generally quite notable company.
Mr.. Dodge himself is one of the most interest
ing of men. having risen by his own character
and industry from poor and obscure immi-
grant lad to place among the great captains of
labor. The location of Dolgevfile was partly
chosen because Of the superior quality Of the
spruce in that neighborhood, vast quantities of
which Mr.. Dodge manufactures for the sound
ing boards Of pianos, SO that il is true, as was
lately said, that often, did We but know it, the
winds OF the Adirondacks breathed in the
sounding boards Of the grand pianos which
give out harmonies in our drawing rooms.

Making Sunshine.

Herald and Presbyter: We can all
brighten the world little for others,
IL we will Even kind word will often
scatter the clouds that enshroud some
weary, respondent heart. On the other
hand, a petulant answer or cruel crit
icism may deepen the darkness, and
drive the respondent to despair. 1t is a
solemn thing to live in a world where
there is so much sorrow, and where
Satan is tempting the poor and the IN
fortunate to course God and die" You
and I, dear reader, may not be able to
do much to help and save the multitudes
that are walking in darkness, but we are
responsible for what we can do, small
as it may seem. The thoughtful little
girl who placed a candle in the window
saved a ship from being wrecked. We
can keep a tiny love-light burning
wherever we 60, and no one can tell
how wide-reaching and how blessed its

The Compost Heap.

How to fertiliIZe our fields thoroughly
and at less cost Is one of the problems
Of agriculture that demands solution
every year. The tendency is to reduce
the cost of production, and by so doing
we often beg1udge our land its proper
amount Of food. Study and expert
ment in this line are making it possible
to- fertilize at less cost The great
waste of the farm exists on every side
and how to utilize everything must be
solved before we can hope to make COM
posts of the right manure and at least
cost. The making of compOsts is as old
as the hills, but it is none the less capa-
bic of improvement. 1t is in this work
that we save direct OUTLAWS of money,
and improve the soil more than #
twice as much was spent for CONNER
cial fertilizers. All vegetable matter
contains the very essentials which
make Il good pile of compost and this,
fresh or decayed must all be gathered.
In Autumn, all of the vegetable matter
that is not needed for fodder, should
be gathered in one heap, moist earth
and lime mixed with it, and the Whole
mass exposed to the sun and rain. In
4 short time such Il heap will be so rich
in nitric acid that it would stimulate
plant growth to an abnormal develop
ment. Such Il compost enricheS the soil
beyond all comparison.
