day meeting my ideal. About five wears

the glorious Alpine scenery, the natives
and the pretty women.
Zone afternoon journeyed, or rather
pllgrimaged, to a rich old burgher's
country seat, about seventeen leagues
from LuCerne, to sketch and to visit the
graves of some of Switzerland's fallen
heroes. While there met the owner, a
stern old Roman Catholic, who could
fuently speak french. He introduced
me to his daughter, the fair Emily, in
whom l found majority of the char

painted her correctly. While there l
studied her face closely, so as to be able
to catch the fleeing expressions and the
sentiment that l knew my picture
lacked. Then l returned home and
touched again the face with my brush.
After making very little change l
found that the picture was splendid

NEW ENAMEL FOR CAST IRON,

1t is stated that M. Bertrand,
who some time since invented a
novel magnetic oxidizing process
for the prevention of rust on cast
iron, a method now in successful
application in Paris and elsewhere,
has lately devised new system of
enameling. Its satisfactory charac-
ter is said to have become establish
ed to such an extent that the
Societie du Val d'Osne, we'll known
as the principal ornamental casting
manufacturing concern in France,
has not only adopted the method,
but has secured monopoly of the
market for art castings thus pro-
duced. The imitation of the most
variegated marbles by this means is
represented as being so pefect that
the illusion is absolute. Further,
M. Bertrand is able to enamel cast
iron, wrought iron and steet with
equal facility, accommodating shade
upon shade, delicately blending
these so as to produce the highest
artistic effect.
