Origin Of Wall Coverings.

Tapestry came originally from By
zsntium. where its weaving was brought
to high state of perfection. Its OK
pense, like that of all wall carving and
stucco, was very great. Stamped leath
er, which, in measure, superseded it,
was also costly and possible only to tho
very wealthy. This stamped leather
consisted ef the skins of goats and
calves cut into rectangular shapes and
covered with silver-leaf, then vanished
with yellow lacquer, to give the ap
pearance of gold. 1t was then stamped
with dyes sunken and in relief, ane
painted in various colors, Wall paper
had. in the meantime, been extensively
practiced by tho monks of Europe. From
the seventh century it had been the rus,
tom to decorate the walls of churches
and cathedrals with Biblical scenes and

Announcing a Royal Death.

A quaint ceremony is about to be per-
formed in the German court, the an
nouncement of the death of the late
Grand Duke of Hesse. Prince William of
Hesse will go 10 Berlin to hear the news.
The Emperor and his court, all in deep
mourning, receive tho envoy in a room
hung with black. The envoy enters with
a lugubrious air, and deiectedly an
nounces the demise of his sovereign,
while the Emperor deplores the loss and
makes suitable eulogy of the departed
one. Then an hour later the Emperor
and court, all in gala dress, receive the
envoy again, there is much jubilation and
Joy, and the old adage about "'the king
is dead; long live the king" gets new
confirmation. n.-[Picayune.

GLASS PAPER.
That Would Be "a More Accurate De-
signation than Sandpaper.


Sandpaper as now made Is false to
It's name, for it has no sand about IL,
the place of that material being now
taken usually by powdered glass, which
does its work with vastly greater effect
One of the most important operations
In the fabrication of sandpaper is the
pulverization of the glass into powder
Of the different grades of tineness. Com
monty an iron mortar Is used for this
purpose, a heavy iron pestle being the
crushing instrument. Stamping ma
chinery is better. 1t consists of stout
box, whose iron side walls serve as a
base for the stamping machinery. In
the box. which can be closed by wood
en- door to prevent waste of material
and also injury to the workman, are
two iron cylinders in which play the
stamps. These crush the glass, turning
on their own axles as they work.
For grading the powder several shift
ing cylinders are necessary, covered
with gauze of different mesh. Begin
ming with the coarseSt the workman
proceeds gradually to the finest, re
sitting each time that which passes
through the network.
The paper to be used in the manu-
facture must be good, strong and rather
long -fibred; it must also be free from
knots and Irregularities, and II there
be any such they must be planed on
If they should be overlooked, they
int Will a
the sandpaper; the knots would pro
trude through the glue, and little ridges
and channels would result, making it
impossible to smooth off surface
evenly with the paper.
The paper Is cut into large sheets,
spread on work tables, fastened down,
and then painted by means of a large
brush, with a thin. even coat of hot
glue. If the glue is too thin and the
paper of bad quality, the glue soaks
into the paper, so that which re
mains is not of sufficient consistency to
hold the glass. Thus results sand
paper from which the glass easily rubs
off, or which, in places, has no glass
ut all, or not enough. This Is notably
the case with the coarser varieties, in
which the layer of glue must be put on
with exceeding care that the relatively
large fragments of glass, which can in
no manner be soaked with the binding
material may be held fast in it. On
the other hand, If the layer of glue is
too thick or the consistence too viscous
the outer part hardens too quickly, so
that the glass powder cannot embed
itself in it.
When the glue has been spread on
the paper the powdered glass must be
sifted on through an appropriate sieve.
This operation also requires considera-
bic skill. through not so much as the
spreading of the glue. For the glass
must not be sifted merely in such n
manner as to use given quantity to
a sheet, but so that each sheet may be
covered evenly. Even then all the
powder will not stick, and some of the
particles lie upon others without touch
ing the glue; these can be shaken off
by slight movement of the paper.
When the superfluous glass powder
has been removed a wooden roller Is
passed lightly over the paper to press
the particles of glass as firmly as pos
sible into the glue and to form per-
fectly even surface.
