ROY IN GREAT PERIL.
Rescued from a Pack of Hounds by
n HOrseman.

A small boy playing the part of the
fox In an exciting chase on the Cedar
Hollow hills near Phoenixville, Pa. mar
rowly escaped being torn to pieces by
George Fulmers pack of hounds the
other day, says the Philadelphia Record.
The dogs had not enjoyed run for
weeks, and Mr.. Fulmer decided to give
them a little exercise.
Taking a bag from the box in which
he keeps several foxes. and which the
Reynard slept upon, he gave II to John
Rambo. He told the lad to drag the
heavily scented bag across the hills,
and he would turn loose the hounds.
The boy had had long start and had
tant knoll when Fulmer released the
eager dogs. Around they circled until
one Of them struck the trail, and then
away they dashed in pursuit OF the
bogus fox.
Instantly a great fear seized the hunt
er. IT dawned upon him that that, II 1.-The the
tear him to pieces. Without longer hes
itating he rushed to the stable. bridled
a horse, and galloped in pursuit of the
baying hounds. They had good start,
and Fulmer knew that the boys life
depended upon whether the HOUNDS or
the horsemen reached him first In no
ever ride more furiously.
1t was long, hard gallop, but he had
told the boy where to drag the bay, and
by a short cut reached him ahead OF the
hounds. The dogs were close upon him
and running madly. Fulmer seized the
horse beyond the reach of the hounds
which he could even then hardly pre-
vent from tearing young Rambo &c

JAPANESE STENCILS.
Made by a Method Admitting of
More Omen Cutting.

More Open Cutting.
The Japanese have a mode of prepar-
ing stencils which is better than ours, In
that 1t admits of a great deal Of open
cutting. In our method complicated fig
ures must be divided by broad lines of
paper, says the Art Amateur,
in order to glue the paper together
and make the stencil strong enough
for use, and these bands of paper
leave blanks in the design which must
often be filled by the hand. The Japanese
leave no such bands in their stencils.
They cut their stencils out of two or
tough paper; then between each OF these
two sheets they lay, crossing one
another in all directions, human hairs
or fibre of raw silk.
These are especially laid across the
open parts OF the design, and when the
several layers of the stencil are glued
together they serve the same purpose as
the bands OF paper left by the stencil
cutters, but they form no obstacles ia
I the application OF the color. and leave
no blanks In the design.
The same clever workers use rice
paste. applied with brush or with stem
painting with dyes. When the color is
fixed the rice paste can be washed away
They also obtain the opposite effect on
silks of European or American manufac-
| ture. Having found that these often fade
| quickly they execute r design on then
| in rice paste, then treat them with chic
| ride OF lime until they are bleached. The
| rice paste Is then washed away, leaving
the design In the original color.
