CHINESE CARVINGS.
Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nuts and
Tiny Fruit Stones.

The most curious objects which are
made subjects OF the carver's art In China
are the various nuts and fruit stones.
Among the latter class may be named the
stones of the olive, plum, peach, cherry,
and Of he former tho most common are
made upon the shells OF walnuts and cocoa
nuts. These seeds and nuts are collected
with great care and carefully cleaned and
dried before being taken to the carver, who
has an invariable standard of size, proper
ton, weight, hardness, etc. When every
detail has been carried out to the satisfac-
ton of the artist, n nut or seed Is selected
by the designer, who roughly traces upon
It's surface an outline Of the future picture.
This Is handed over to apprentices, who
block out the design by cutting through
the ligenous tissue along the lines drawn.
The crude carving is again passed to the
designer, who sketches second and more
intricate series of outlines when 1t again
goes forward to the subordinates, who cut
out the indicated channels. After this the
designer gives the object its finishing
touches, and the assistants prepare 1t for
market by polishing, oiling and waxing
the carvings. These nut and fruit stone
carvings are shown in the shape of buttons
watch charms, sleeve links, earrings and
brooches. Collections Of them strung on
silver, copper or gold wire are also used as
bracelets, anklets, necklaces, rosaries and
official ornaments.
The carvings represented upon these seed
and nut ornaments are frequently of
very high order OF conception and display
much of the carver's cleyerness and dex-
terity. The writer has seen single cherry
seeds upon which were plainly and artis-

THE csRsMONlouS DINNER.
Brief Besaut Essay Holding One or Two
New Points.

Dinner above everything illustrates the
conquest of the savage But dinner as
served go or 20 years ago presented points
In which the conquest was incomplete.
Thus men had to carve the food on the Ia.
bic. This led to shame and misery and the
exposure of incompetence Besides 1t left
the door wide open for talking about food.
Moreover, though men no longer ate as
much as they could, they still drank as
much as they could.
In illustration Of this history, can any
one tell me, asks Walter Besant In the
London Queen, first, when the custom of

and the oumbrousness of the custom and

sition to 1t. But common sense and handi-
ness prevailed
My correspondent informs me-a thing
which l did not know-that when dinner
was all put ON tho table at once there used
to be set number of dishes, according to
the number of guests-e e., to 12 guests;

THE TRlLBY FASHION.
Pretty Women Will Go Barefoot to Baths
III the Sea Next Summer.

Pretty Women viii Go Barefoot to Baths
In the Sea Next Summer.
It is said that fashion next summer
will kindly permit ladies at seaside re-
sorts to bathe without stockings. and
stylish young women are already having
their feet prepared for next seasons
campaign. Many feet which look just
too captivating for anything in shoes
and stockings are not altogether lovely
when exposed to view. and feminine
owners of such Observation-Disclosures are
now invoking the aid of the pediourists
to make them presentable. Civilization
and high shoes have inflicted many
wrongs upon the human understanding,
and many ladies recognize that IL they
are to make Impressions upon the mas
culine heart MS well as upon the sand
with their feet next summer they must
put themselves upon better footing
There are comparatively few Trilby
feet in real life, few which are perfect
in form and entirely free from blemish
Nevertheless Du Maurior's rhapsody
over tho beauty of Trilbys foot may be
to n certain extent responsible for the
general noto Of preparation for the OK
hibition of feminine feet next summer
Many women who have read his novel
may be anxious to prove that they have
something in that line not entirely un-
worthy Of admiration. And why should
not pretty foot inspire the poet and
tho artist quite as much as hand or
lady's eyebrow?
Great execution has been done with
the feminine foot through all the cen-
turies Even with its charms concealed
by shoes and stockings it has proved
one of the most formidable of womanly
weapons. With it woman has lured man
on and on and on, and with it, when
she has wearied of playing with him,
rho has administered the coup de grace.
But when it shines forth next summer
in all its loveliness, unadorned by any
thing but its own beauty, it will be SIM
ply irresistible. No bachelor will be safe
at the seaside The most hardened and
cynical will capitulate at tho sight Of
the thousands of snowy feet pattering
over the sandy beach in unconventional
freedom or demurely presented for mas
culine inspection and approval -Balti-

The figures OH the sheet lie directly
