LONDON SQUARES.
Most OF Them Are Laid in the Dutch
Fashion.

Most OF Them Are Laid in the Dutch
Some of these are quaint and charming
enough, being mostly laid out in the
Dutch fashion. Golden Square, near Re-
gent street; Red Lion and Queen Squares,
in Bloomsbury, are capital specimens. The
first, though so close to Regent street,
might be dozen miles away; there is a
welcome unkemptness; the grass is rank
and wild; there are old trees ranged round
its border in systematical way. The
houses round are picturesque, because
each is distinct. 1t is given over to COM
mission agents, merchants and trade gen.
enally, yet within but a few years it was a
place of genteel residence, like usual
square, and we find the late Cardinal Wise
man living in substantial mansion here.
Dickens, it will be remembered, placed
Ralph Nickleby's house here, which is de-
scribed on the occasion of the party to Sir
Frederick and Sir Mulberry as having
almost palatial apartments and the richest
furniture. AS we wander round, we are
struck with the melancholy tone of the
Enclosure, yet everything seems brisk
enough; but it belongs to the old world.
The square itself is very attractive and
original, with sort of Dutch or foreign
air; we note the fine trees which shelter it
all around in symmetrical lines, and the
Roman warrior sort of statue in the center,
arrayed in full armor, and representing
George II. The grass and walks are laid
out with a certain free-and-easy careless
ness that is very acceptable, and contrasts
with the trim, shaven, soulless treatment
of modern squares. Altogether visit to
Golden Square will interest
Berkeley Square every one knows. Yet
it has an extraordinary sympathetic at
traction from its grass and fine shading
old trees. No one, We may be sure, has
noted that these leafy patriarchs seem to
range in two rows down the middle, like
an avenue. The fact is, it was the demesne
of the lawn in front of the old Berkeley
House, which stood at the back of Devon
shire House. The mansions round are
very fine, and the iron work, ratings, etc.,
are all admired and to be admired. There
are some queer things TO be told about
squares; for instance, that there was a
General Strobe who had mania for set
ting up statues in squares at his own ex-
pense. We have seen equestrian statues
in Leicester Square propped up with a
broomstick, with portions broken away

In fact the modern school has been in

CALL But have word or two yet to be said.
II DR.. Whitman had been at all a politician 1T
would have been talked of at the time. when
Americanism was redhot in the Willamette
Valley; but he is never mentioned in connec-
ton with any of the petitions and reports to
the Government which were frequently sent to
Washington by the Methodist missionaries. If
he had gone TO Washington to save Oregon
from the British lion, he would not have re-
turned empty handed as he did. If he had
done anything to influence the boundary
treaties, the volunteers in the Cayuse War
which followed the treaty of 1916 would have
had a legend setting forth the facts, the Oregon
Spectator would have been full of it, and the
matter would not have slept nearly twenty
years before it was ever heard of.
Only a year or two ago l was talking with
Major Magoun of Cayuse War fame, who in
formed me that among the letters and papers
found at the mission none of any significance
were discovered, and that the only ones which
were of interest were those letters from DR..
Mclaughlin persuading Dr. Whitman to quit
the Cayuse country for while to make the In
dams regret their misconduct and invite him
back again. Had he gone as advised he might
have avoided the tragedy which caused the
Cayuse War.
Lately nothing I have ever written concern
ing DR.. Whitman could be construed by a fair
critic as disrespectful or ungenerous l simply
treat him as a man and refuse to surround him
with nimbus OF glory because he was mis-
sionary and the hero of lost cause, and be-
cause he pitifully died when he might have
lived. l am sorry for his death, but cannot
deity him in consequence.

LOOK IN THE GLASS.

Curls denote a feeble sense of right and
wrong, gayety, vivacity, self-confidence.
Fine. scanty hair means weak develop
ment bad health, melancholy or childish
ness.
Coarse, dark brown, uneven hair, straight
or crisp, email curls, means innate vul-
garity.
Thin eyebrows are sign of apathy and
flabbishness. The nearer they are to the
eyes the more serious, profound and social
the character.
AS rule smooth, fine, softly waving
hair betokens gentleness, quietness, neat
ness. Unduly sleek, straight hair gives
warning of slyness, hypocrisy.
Hair and eyebrows differing in color are
said to mean untrustworthiness. They
indicate race mixture and bespeak a
wavering, unsteady nature.
Glossy black hair inclined to wave or
curl means keen perceptions and usually a
cautious, secretive nature. Black hair i'll
general shows stolidity, a wiry constitu-
ton, and curly, coarse black hair indicates
irritability and stupidity.
Straight hair indicates more power to
govern than curly hair. 1t accompanies
people who are straight, erect in walking,
whose bodies exhibit straight lines and
angles rather than curves and who possess
mental character to correspond.
Fine brown hair only accompanies ex-
cellent minds, and generally the owner
has intellectual tendencies. Beautiful
golden hair is rarely seen on persons of a
gross nature. It's owner loves fine ait:
and possesses exquisite sensibilities.
Curly-haired people are most sinuous. A
forehead and partly bald head with thin
black hair may mark the possession O.

invention. Straight, fair hair indicates 6
general amiable disposition of dull
phlegmatic temperament.
Red hair means entirety in character

owner will be very kind or very cruel, very
true or very false. 1t usually indicates
quick temper, though there are exceptions
Very coarse red hair testifies to animal
propensities. Auburn hair means kindly

nitric acid till it has slight relief This
operation is repeated till sufficient relief is
obtained. The plate is then nailed on a
type high block, when it is ready for the
printer.
The half tone is in many ways the same
as the line etching, only a photograph or
wash drawing takes the place of the line
drawing. The negative is made direct
from photo or drawing by placing screen
or ruling on glass in front of the sensitive
plate in the camera. This ruled screen is
cut with diamond point and the scratch
filled with an Opaque substance, making a
perfect grating of alternate Opaque and
transparent lines. The opaque lines inter
cept the rays of light, breaking up tie
picture into fine network of dots and
lines, which vary in size according to the
lights or shades in the original copy.
This negative is printed on metal plate
in much the same way as the line eng1av-
ing, and etched and blocked in the same
manner.
Some idea of the delicacy of the process
and the care of printing can be judged
when it is known that screens are in use
on cuts for the Traveller giving 30,625 dots
to the square inch and in some instances,
as high as 10000 to the square inch. This
process has been the subject of much I'M
deserved abuse on account of the quantity
of work turned out by amateurs, but when
handled by experts the results cannot be
initiated by any known method.
The latest invention in the line of en-
craving is what is known as the color or
prismatic process, demonstrating that
all the colors of nature can be obtained
with red, yellow and blue. For this
process a colored original is required.
The copy is photographed three separate
times, each time with a plate sensitized
for one Of the three colors, fltering out the
colors not wanted. By this means three
negatives are obtained, each having only
the color or portion of color wanted. That
is to say, if purple were in the original

they did the work was often stiff and out

By the modern means even the daily
papers can produce pictures of current
events which surpass the work of many of
the masters of design in the days of wood
cuts. The origin Of engraving is shrouded
in mystery, but it is known that the

and yellow. The varieties of shades are
obtained by one of the colors predominant

blue predominates we have cold green; if
yellow, warm or sunny green, and so on
through the entire list. The prints are
made by printing each block with its
proper color, one over the other, when
with the last color we have the perfect

lutionize color printing, and wonderful re-
