For working the designs in painting, the
outlines are traced with sepia, the solid
black parts filed in with lampblack and
the ornaments with light shade Of sienna,
the veining being carried out with sepia
and burnt sienna on pale sepia back
ground. Another color combination is
dark brown for the solid black parts, olive
green for the leaves, bright yellow for the
scrolls and rosettes, burnt sienna for the
background, and carmine mixed with
black for the veining. The same color
scheme holds good for staining and imita-
ton inlaying. After the decoration has
been finished in any of the ways described
above the surface has to be waxed. TO
this end ordinary yellow beeswax is cut
into small pieces. placed in glass vessel
and just covered over with turpentine un-
til the mixture forms, by stirring, semi
Hnid paste, which is then spread thinly
over the surface of the wood, and, when
nearly dry, polished with a stiff brush

THE GEMTNATION OF LINES.

any one else, only one ordinary black line;
but If the line slopes, as at No. 2, / see two
lines, the lower one being decidedly less
black than the other. AS now hold the
paper-the bottom toward memo. ap-
pears as single line; No. 2 as double one,
like No g. If now turn the side Of the
page toward me, revolving it through an
arc Of 80 degs., No. l shows double and No.
single.
IF draw set of single lines, as at No.
4. and look at them with both eyes, or with
my right eye alone, see only so many sim
gle lines; but if close my right eye, then
with my left I see ten lines, each original
line being geminated bya fainter one ex-
actly parallel and pretty close to 1t, as in
No. s.. II now turn No. 4 to the right or
left the double images will approach each
other, and at the same time slide by each
othera little until have turned the paper
90 degs., when the images will coalesce,
each line appearing sharply defined, single
and very black, except at each end, where,
for about asixteenth Of an inch, the color
will be fainter and the line less sharply de
fined.
1.-THE application to the lines in Mars Is
very simple. If person possessing an eye
with this power should see the planets
image in the telescope and be able to per-
ceive the Schiaparelli lines, he would see
each accompanied by twin line Of the
same length, but not quite so sharp and
distinct.
II know from my own experience that
one may possess this power without being
conscious of It, discovered it only when
experimenting on single vision. In ordi-
nary use-i. e., with both eyes-I cannot per-
ceive any indication of it. One can easily
test his own eyes by making black dot on
piece of white paper and examining 1t with
one eye st a time. If he possess this
power he will see two dots pretty close to-
gether, ona much darker than the other.
Then let him reyolve the paper-the paper
will 60 around, but the dots will retain
their relative position. If, for example,
the second dot is to the right Of the other Il
will stay to the right"

The waters of the Dead Sea.

The waters Of the Dead sea have been
popularity supposed to be absolutely devoid
of living organisms of any description
whatsoever. Recent Investigations by a
French scientist, however, appear to prove
the fallacy Of this belief M. Lortel claims
to have found in these waters innumerable
species of micro organisms of a very malev-
olent character. Animals inoculated die
in few days from the blood poisoning
brought ON through the agency Of these
minute bodies. The River Jordan, which
Is so popular with pilgrims for bathing, Is
said to be full Of these micro-organisms to
bathing, and for drinking water almost
perilous.

who Named tho Flowerss

"Who named the fowerss" asks Walter
Besant, and proceeds to answer his own
question thus: Eve perhaps, after Adam
had named the creatures. think, dear
ladies, that Eve must have named the
flowers, because her daughters are 80 fond
of them. They were named before the time
Of Solomon, as we know. But how comes
1t that so many flowers have the same
fancy names in moro than one language
Thus. to take some common wild flowers,
quinsy wort is in French herbe l'esqui-
nance; clematis is called by country folk
beggars' weed. in French it is herbe aux
gueux; mignonette- little darling herbe
d'amour; scurvy grass, also called spoon
grass, is herbe aux cuilleres; herb paris is
herbe paris; money wort Is herbe aux
ecus. How did these names come to be
alike in both languagesi On the other
hand, some of the French names are not In
the least like our own. Black briony, for
instance, is herbe aux femmes battues;
centaury is herbe aux mile forms; adders'
tongue is herbe aux mile miracles; goose
foot is herbe du bon Henri, and willow
herb is herbe Saint Antoine"

IN extreme cases, physicians have

THE FAMOUS PORTLAND VASE.

The vase was placed in the museum by
the Duke Of Portland in 1910, and in 1876
was maliciously broken by man named
Lloyd. The pieces, however, were collect
ed and cemented together, but the vase has
not been on exhibition since that date. It
was at one time known as the Barberini
vase, and was owned by Sir William Ham
ilton, who found it in the BarberEi pal
ace, and purchased it in ITO. I time it
passed into the possession of the duchess
Of Portland, and was disposed of rs related.

A Novelty in Pincushions.

This cushion is intended to hold only hat
pins, and which is made to resemble roll
Of paper or music. Make the pincushion
itself cylindrical in shape, about inches
long and ~ inches across Instead of
making the ordinary bran filed case, it is a
good plan to use long strip of flannel. and

other convenient scraps. The cover may

business document as possible. or may be,
on the outside at least, sheet Of music.
It should be rolled round the foundation
Of the cushion several times, SO that there
are at least six layers of paper, the edge
being fastened down with paste or gum.
The ends OF the roll of course are not COW
cred with the paper, as the bonnet pins are
pushed into the pincushion in that place.
Round the middle of the cylinder is tied a
piece Of wide pink tape, loop being also
made by which the pincushion can be hung
to the handle of the dressing glass;

way the stuff runs in the various pieces.
It will take four yards of a 48-inch mate
rial for slim figure. For a complete
skirt four pieces are requircd-two straight
ones without seams for the front and the
back, the latter being on an average three
inches longer, and two triangular pieces
for the side cores, which are each made
from a straight, narrow breadth, with the
edges cut of in point toward the waist.
This skirt, which barely touches the
ground, is likely to be popular for outdoor
wear. The new tailor dress skirts are
lined with silk throughout, with q silk

plated. for balayeuse. Many Of the
skirts are left quite plain, others show
rows Of stitching, while others again are
trimmed at the foot Of the skirt with mar

suffered from the rascally misappropria-

was great wealth and plenty of dividends
in the mine If the ore bodies were half
honestly managed. In all probability the
case will be appealed 10 the Supreme
Court. but there the decision cannot but
be sustained, for the evidence was clearly
against the defendants. This stealing
has been going on for years, and also in
