PHOTOGRAPHY IN coLoRs.
Successful Process for Reproducing tho
Ifucs of Nature.

And now. II is said the problem Of
photographing in colors has been
solved, aud test picture actually pro-
duced by a French artist His process
Is an interesting one. He lays upon
q sheet of glass 4 very delicate. trans
lucent film Of chloride of silver, and
against the iilm he places u vessel con
tanning mercury, so that the latter Is
in contact with the film. The glass
sheet and mercury thus arranged are
placed in the camera like an ordinary
sensitive plato. Exposure being made,
the image of the object to be photo
graphcd is projected upon the glass.
Tho light conveying the image passes
through the glass, on through the trans
lucent film, and Is reflected back by
the mercury behind. The action of
the light splits the silver in the film
into thin layers which through the
operation of Il curious law reproduce
the tnts of the object photographed.
The one defect in the process is the
long exposure of the plate that is re-
qulred--that Is to say, from five min
utcs to half an hour. But in order to
overcome this difficulty II Is merely
necessary that the film shall be rem
dcrcd more sensitive to light. There
can Dc no longer any uOuDt tnat urSC
rate portraits in colors will eventually
be made, supersedlng perhaps the
work of the portrait-painter. Such
likcncsscs will be very different from
the dead things in black and white
which are the best that artists of the
camera produce to day They will re-
produce the tints of the complexion

life itself. Great paintings, too, will
be copied by the camera, to supersede,
let us hope, the cheap chrome; and
doubtless the same methods will be
utilized for making the sun himself

eye, with all the tints of nature duly

How to Mal.a Ecg Outlets.

A good way to make egg outlets is to
boil three or four eggs for ten minutes
dip them in cold water for q minute or
two and strip of the shell: cut off the
ends of each egg and divide into four
slices, dip each picce in the well-bcatcn
yolk of an egg, then in broad crumbs
rather highly seasoned with pepper,
salt and teaspoonful of very finely
minced parsley; fry in boiling butter
until brown, serve with potatoes sliced
thin and fried to light browui gar-
nish with parsley.

Out of Court,

Men who are wise will do much to
evade a tedious lawsuit, and the law
yer who is successful in settling cases
out of court has numerous clients.
Many of the most famous lawyers in
the country have at this time on their
hands perhaps twice as many cases in
dispute TO settle out of court as they
have in. Each great corporation now
has its own attorney, to whom all legal
suits or differences are referred. He
meets the attorney of the opposing
party, they two talk the matter over,
each trying to get the better of the
other. They are their own advocates,
judge and jury, and generally come to
a compromise on the dispute. This
they offer each to his client, who usual
ly accepts Ii, and thus the matter ends,
certainly with great saving Of time to
the client. 1t is not so certain that
there Is a saving of money, however,
as in this case the attorneys fees are
apt to be high enough to cover all the
costs IL the matter had been settled
before the courts. Immense fees are
thus earned by leading lawyers, the
earnings of a single legal firm in Il
few cases reaching as high as Il mill
ion dollars year,

Tea tables continue to grow in favor
and to multiply in design. The two

sense and provide for the convenience
of the hostess as well as for the beauty
of her room. One, the larger of the
two, is combination of bamboo frame

How to Preserve tho Table Cloth.

THE custom of brushing tablecloth
instead of shaking it as formerly has
two good points. 1t does not scatter

old tin- method Of clearing the table.
