An old Art to Be Lost-A Wood Engrav,

Turns Restaurant Keeper.
 H. E. Sylvester tho talented cngravcr become a restaurant proprietor on Nort,. street.
 'How in tho world could you give IT your art for mere money making cn. terprisc?'' asked
 'sOh, it wasn't my giving up thc ar; so much as the art giving up mo and cv erybody else in that profession" " replied my genial host, with laugh. Wood cn- graving, like steel engraving, is destined to become a lost art. I realized that fac; somo years ago when mechanical processes began to displace my work. A first class engraver in past years earned 90 800 to $3, 800 year. The price paid simply for the engraving was from $3 ;o SI per square inch.
 How do I compare half tone with Il wood cngravingf Well, of course tho di rect product of brain and hand is superior to mechanical process. The halt tone only tells obscurcly how q thing looks-it gives no color us the term is used in engrav- ing, nor any texture. It does nat allow the direct impact of the mind of the artist upon the mind of the observer that makes the charm of art, and it is really only tho 'chromo' of black and white art.
 Ine Dalt tone, too, Will u0uDtleSS DO superseded by something better The pho togravurc is really preferable, but it is more expensive.
 What has become of all the wood en. gravcrs who have thus lost their vocation?'' l asked.
 Well" answered MT. Sylvester "many have taken up drawing or pen and ink work, as have George Moultou and McKcon; some, like Bartle, have turned painters; others, lko Penney and Philip Brown, are working on half tones: Clos son is decorating q house for wealthy man in the suburbs; Kingsley and Cleavos are making artist proofs for q limited number of special buyers; Colo has been abroad for series of years engraving tho works of old masters, a special arrange ment, but I don't know how much longer the arrangement is to last; Ncgric of New York, concluded MT. Sylvester, with laugh, lis the only one who, like me, has gono into the restaurant business IIo was established on Seventeenth street at last accounts.
 Many engravers have no work and nothing to do, but there is still opportu- nifty for making cuts for advertisements, tho details of which can only be brought out by hand. This, of course, is great fall from artistic work, but they have to take anything they can get. ''-Boston Adyer- tiSer.

uted to his guests when cigars are gen erally in order. This is because he prefers pipe to a cigar himself after dinner. The idea captivated the va grant fancy of Gotham's gilded youth and the innovation has so far been re- ceived with favor. The custom is to take these pipes home with one as souvenir of the occasion. At one of George ". Vanderbilt's bachelor din- ners, very fine neerschaums made their appearance and the idea promises to meet with the favor accorded the floss silk fad. DAVID WECHsLER.
