New Method OF Producing Pictures.

Art students in this city are devot.
ing a good bit of attention to a new
method of producing pictures. The
giant fungus that is found growing
from the sides of trees is gathered and
allowed to dry and then the yellowish
growth that covers it is scraped away.
This leaves the face of the fungus Gov
cred with an ~ivorylike substance that
cuts clearly under a graver.
A design is sketched on this face OF
the fungus and cut through it. The
deeper the cutting is made the darker
the color of the heart exposed, and
this variation in tone lends the artist
the degree of light and shade essential
to make a picture.
The results gained in this class of
art work remind one of the first cut

OLD CONFEDERACY'S CAPITAL.
Recollections of the Beautiful City of
Richmond.

Recollections of the Beautiful City of
Richmond.
1t may be that nativity in Virginia
and many years of residence in Rich
mond have inclined the mind of the
writer to idealize the city's loveliness,
yet he knows no city in the United
States more beautiful. 1t is not that
the houses generally are handsome,
but there are sections of the city where
the yards, filed with trees, look like
bowers, and the public squares are
among the most beautiful in the coun.
try. '"The Capitol square," with it's
leafy slopes, its fine old Capitol lifting
itself on it's eminence with the simple
grandeur of an old temple, and with
its broad walk, with the splendid Wash
ington monument at one end, and the
impressive old Governors mansion"
at the other, is perhaps the prettiest
park of it's size in the country. 1t is
certainly so to a Virginian, for many
proud or tender associa tions cling about
the place. For hundred years and
more the city has been associated with
all that Virginians are proud of. In
old st. Johns church assembled the
great Virginia convention which pre-
pared for the public defense and led
the way to the independence of the
colonies. Here in Richmond sat the
great convention for the ratification of
the constitution, when Kentucky was
district of Virginia; here have assem-
bled her lawmakers, her jurists and
all that have contributed to make the
Old Dominion renowned and great.
Here met, year after year, the old Vir-
ginians, with their wives and daugh-
ters, to enjoy the gay life of the capital
of the Old Dominion, which they
adorned by their presence. Here sat
and deliberated the secession conven-
tion during the period when Virginia
stood as the peacemaker between the
two sections. Here she finally declared
her decision, to secede from the Union
Here Lee received the command of the
Virginia forces, and here he was ap-
pointed later to the command in chief
of the armies of the Confederacy. Here
the Confederate government passed it's
life, and from here the southern side of
the war was fought. To Richmond the
armies and energies of the north were
directed, and for it they strove. Whilst
it stood the Confederacy stood, and it
fell only when the south was ex-
hausted. Thomas Nelson Page, in Har.

THE WEARlNe-oUT PROCESS.


Intemperance in Work as Bad as ANY Other
Kind of Intemperance.
Has a person any more right to in.
dulge in intemperance in working than
to drink or eat to excess? This is a
fair, honest question. Each is injuri.
Gus; each, in it's injury affects not only
the individual, but the entire family.
The person who drinks to excess is a
recognized nuisance to the community,
an evil to his family and bane to
himself. The penalty is loss of men-
tai power, poverty and degradation.
In over eating we have a similar con-
dition, and Moses recognized that fact,
though perhaps in quieter way, but
the result is equally bad, for in the
train of gluttony we have gout, and
victims of that disease are not agree
able companions.
While overwork is thought by many
to lend sort of halo and beatifica-
tion to the one who INDUCES, it is an
unmitigated evil, all the more per.
nicious by it's CLOSING over with senti-
mentality Abusing our bodies by
over working is as much worse
than abusing an animal as the hui
man is above the lower order Of
animal creation. The worn-out horse
has humane society to care for it in
its day of need, but the overworked
man or woman has nothing. Being
possessed of average brain power they
are supposed to be able to look out for
themselves. The wearing-out process
is a most disagreeable one, engender-
ing sour manner, peevish super-sensi-
tive disposition and many kindred evils
that reflect, not alone on the individ-
nal, but also upon our neighbors who
are unfortunate enough to be in our
vicinity.
Again, we cannot wear out in silence;
we must let the world know how we
are getting along in the process, how
soon we expect to drop in our tracks,
and all the narrowing details that are
expected to arouse sympathy. If we
insist on wearing out, the least we can
10 is to refrain from wearing the few
friends out with the melancholy de-
tails; we should save the itemized ac-
count for our enemies, wreck ven
geance that they never dreamed of on
their benighted heads. But the best
way is-don't kill yourself. for you will
be a long time dead. and few the wiser
for it.-Susan Bancroft, in Woman

years later Capt. Harris found it still
numerous, encountering scores in the
course of days ride. But as the
number of European huntsmen in
creased, the number of these great
brutes decreased, and when firearms
came into general use among the ma
tives the work of destruction went for
ward at a fearful pace. OF dull per-
ception and sluggish habits, the white
rhinocerous fell an easy prey to the
Bechuanas and Matabeles, who slaught-
cred thousands merely for their horns
and for their humps, which were fa-
vorite article of food.
A few years ago the animal was be-
lieved to be extinct. Then group of
six were discovered in swamp in
Mashonaland. These have now all
been killed, and there is no reason to
suppose that single specimen remains
alive. No one who has not visited
South Africa has ever seen white
rhinocerous, since no living specimen
was ever taken out of that country for
exhibition. No complete skeleton. nor
entire hide even, has ever found it's way
to Europe or America, and we are
therefore in the curious tuation of
having more satisfactory relics of some
prehistoric animals than of one of the
greatest and most interesting of ou1
own time. The skeleton and hide of
one of the last killed are, however,
said to be under shipment to England,
where they will form an impressive
memorial of one of the greatest crea-
lures that have vanished from the
earth before the destructive power of
