4 Neu rhptnrraphIe Process.

An effective and greatly sirnplifed method of producing photographic representation in the form of an intaglio engraving, or as it is generally called,
 'photogravure," is being introduced The new method is intended to reduce the time occupied in the process. which usually takes many days to a few hours, and to dispense entirely with the supple mentary aid of the skillful engrayer Its essential feature lies in the fact that the picture. instead of being obtained from a graduated depth of the engraving, is produced from a sunken surface of uniform depth. the gradations of light, half tone and shade being effected by minute lines and stpples of varying thickness. but of uniform distance apart from center to center.
 The picture is made up of equidistant stipples, varying from microscopic point up to a size where they coalesce in a solid black, the half tones consisting of stipples about l-iO0th of an inch in di- ameter If a coarse stipple is used the effect varies from that of mezzotint and approaches more nearly that of line of engraving. the light shades being made up of perceptible lines and stipples, like the effects of 8 steel or copper plate en- graving Of equal texture. -Pittsburg NsuatCh

rbe Rl,e md ran of Families.

A family, like a race or nation, does indeed bud, flower and run to seed, and the seed must bc transplanted to new soil in order to bud and flower again, Now part of the foolish sncestorship of the past resulted in the creation of aristocracies built on the foundation of an illustrious ancestor. We are get ting wiser and better. We are putting our aristocracies closer to the primal source, We are learning no longer to respect a man because his ancestor was better than himself, but because he him self is an ancestor The farce of royalty is played out; the farce of rank and caste is in moribUnd condition. All men will soon learn to laugh at the claims of long descent, Many men laugh at them now And this in itself is an immense step in advance.

qhe Jewel. of a saint.

Tho idea of sanctity usually carries with it suggestion of poverty, and it may seem contradiction to refer to the jewels of saint. It has been customary for painters who choose for their sub jects saints or martyrs to treat them with the utmost simplicity. In ma io1ity of cases they are depicted as de- void of ornament or decoration, and in the few exceptional instances. as when the subject of the picture is ruler or king, the gems are few and purely sym bolic, being sufficient only to denote the rank of the individual portrayed
 Raphael, who was perhaps the great est painter of religious subjects the world las known, has in most of his works ad- hered strictly to this rule, but in the head of "St. Cecilia" is to benoticed de- parture from it.

An rnn,rdonable Osep,o.

A young woman condemns herself in the eyes of good society who is observed to enter alone with young man place for public refreshment, be the restaurant or tearoom ever so select. Bred under other conditions of society 50 neces- sarily varying as that in our broad America, a stranger visiting New York, for instance, might readily and inno- gently make mistake of this nature, and blush at finding herself condemned for it. In the same category of offenses is ranked that of maidens visiting places of public amusement under the escort of young men alone.
 Many parts of the south and west al- low this to be done with the smiling con sent of good society, but in eastern cities it is considered violation of the code of good form, and for the comfort, if not the convenience. of the girl considering it, had better be ranked among the lost privileges upon which social evolution may look back with fond regret.-AIrs.
