An Easy Way of Painting.

Here is an easy way of painting,
which any child can try. Buy . cents
worth Of spirits of nitre, pour little in
a saucer, and soak it in Il piece of white
linen. Take the leaf Of any plant you
fancy, lay ii on the piece of wet linen,
and put it between the leaves Of II
book, with Il sheet of paper to receive
the impression. Put a weight on the
book and leave it fora few days, When
opened you will find perfect print of
the leaf, both in shape and color, and
the leaf itself will have become quite
pale, all the tntS being gone In using
any drugs for any experiments remem-
Der that the bottles should be kept
tightly corked. and standing, when not
in use, on some high shelf, quite out of
the reach Of the poking little fingers of
Il baby brother or sister. In trying
this experiment don't leave any of the
Nitro in the saucer after wetting the
linen; pour any that may remain back
into the bottle.

Rise and Fan of Landseers.

A unique series OF thirty-thre ex-
amples came up for sale with the col
lection of the late Lord Cheylesmore
i'll May, 1892, and affords an easy me-
dium of comparison. The best pictures
appear to increase in the same ratio as
the less excellent eXamp es decline
"The Monarch of the Glen, so well
known through u. Landseer's very sue.
cessful engraving, is a masterpiece,
and is never likely to sustain any very
pronounced depreciation in value. In
the late Lord L ondesborough sale it
fetched 800 guineas, viii h amount
was increased by 100 guinea3 in 1892.
On the other hand, the Tanning Of
the Shrew," which realized l,430
guineas, now dropped to ,l50 gulneas
not serious drop, perhaps, con-
s!dering the number Of pictures by the
same master sold at the same time.
A much more serious fall, however,
was sustained by Lady Godivas Pray
err" which in 1874 was appraised at
5000 guineas, and wa now sold for 900
guineas. The Highland Cabin. (which,
the disper al of the Duchess of Bed
ford's collection in 1853, went for 1850
guineas, now sold for $50 guineas: "The
Sentinel, which sold in 1864 for 240
guineas, now realized $50 guineas, ana
"All that Remains of the Glory of
William Smith, which, twenty years
ago went for 320 guineas, was valued
in 1892 at 300 guineas. The majority
of the other Landseers in 5his collec-
ton were purchased from the art st.
AS further illustrations of the rise
and fall respectively in andseers, we
may mention Taking Buck" which
in the Manley Hall sale, 1888, realized
1850 guineas, and dropped in 1892 to
620 guineas, and "Braemar, which in
1868 sold for 1900 guineas, and had ad-
vanced at the Bolckom sale in 1885 to
g5, 1917. The celebrated work Chevy, "
for which | andseer is said to have re-
ceived $4,000, realized in the Hem
ming sale in April last 1890 guineas.

CHAPTER III.

That one hour of passionate pacing
up and down under the stars seemed to
have made man of him like the SOL
itary vigil which the young esquires of
old were lett to pend, previous to be-

quite early, long before day-break, he
was no llnger dreamy boy, but a
belted knight ready to go out and
fight, with his lady's token ON his helm
and his lady's love in his heart.
"The stars shall fall and the saints be
weeping
Ere 1 cease to love her-my queen my

of young Mr.. Jardine's visit to Switzer-

kind old professor, in dressing-gown
and slippers, Rode lex never could
