VENETIAN MosArcs.
An Old and beautiful Art Revived by
Modern Demands,

Modern Demands,
The revival at Venice OF the mosaic

artistic decoration Of private and pub
Tic buildings, goes on uninterruptedly
and working in mosaic is now Jour

large scale and with great success,
says the London Daily News, A mosaic
Is work framed by the use Of "tes-
serae" or small cubes of enamel, mar
BILE or other material and Of a gold
and-silver leaf between two films Of
the purest glass OF various colors
which are skillfully mixed on cement
so as to produce the effect Of a picture.
The composition Of human figures in
different attitudes, animals, draperles
or other objects requiring a careful de-
lineatlon are intrusted to the best
workmen and the execution of the
background to less trained workmen.
The splendid mosaics which are made
at Venice continue to be in great de-
mand in the artistic markets OF the
world for the skillful manner in which
the tesserae are arranged, for their ex-
IRENE beauty and delicacy of color, the
rich harmony of effect and from their
being nearly indestructble The man
ner in which mosalcs are now made
for decorative purposes is quite diff

by the ancients which consisted in fix

cement previously applied on the wall.
The modern method Of the Venetian
school consists In executing the mosaic

fixed with common paste on the section
Of the cartoon assigned to each work.

are complete they are put together on
the floor or on special wooden frame.
The mosaic, which is then a perfect
representation Of the original cartoon,
is again divided into sections on the
reverse side marked with q progress

be sent off to the place for which 1t is
intended. The surface Of the wall
where the mosaic Is to be fixed is then
covered with cement, into which the
sections Of the mosaic are uniformly
pressed according to their numbers
and the key-plan supplied to the fixers.

exhibited on the right side.

dress has sleeves almost as round as
football and over them revers of very
rich passementerie. Costumes with
skirt, deep cuffs and vest, collar and
revers Of one material and sleeves and
fitted body Of contrasting fabric, are
not uncommon. Braiding and silk en-
broidery are coming into use and are
seen on some Of the most stylish cos
tunes. One dress Of fine Endora has
an apron front, braided in elaborate
arabesques. The cuffs, which extend to
the elbows, are covered with en-
broidery and the vest is similarly fin
ished The collar and revers are per-
fectly plain. One Of the caprlces of the
moment Is the use Of braiding or en-
broideries on fancy material, narrow
line of this sort of garnlture trimming
the front Of the skirt and extending
part way around the hem and finished
with elaborate rosette bows Of wide
fancy ribbon. Another dress has grad
uated panels Of embroidery. There are
wide bands Of this garniture over the
shoulders and sleeve bands at the ell
bows are wrought to match.

on me. On my last trip to Germany
had to run down from Hanover to
Cassel, and after we had been jogging
along at sedate pace Of three minutes

we came to stop. l looked out Of the
window and saw that we were in the
midst of very pretty country scene,
meadows and gardens, but with moth

except some scattered farm-houses, So
l concluded that 1t was either a way
side station for some district or else
that an accident had happened. The
only other passenger in the coach, a
Lutheran clergyman l put him up to
be, knew Of no stopping place there,
so lowered the door sash to hunt up
the conductor or guard. AS l poked
my head out saw man that took to

Mr.. Hamlin was a true gentleman.
Punctilious himself in the observance
of all the requirements of gentlemanly
intercourse, he was equally exacting of
every courtesy due him from others.
He permitted no man to be rude to him,
or to assume the attitude of a superior.
On one occasion one of the able men
and leaders Of the Senate, distinguished
for a self-conscious, lordly air in his
department, in the change of seats
which occurs once in two years in the
Senate chamber had gained seat by
the side of Mr.. Hamlin, and began at
once to practice upon him those little
exactions and annoyances which he
had been accustomed to impose upon
others. After few days Of yielding to
these encroachments, Mr. Hamlin
turned, and in tone that did not re-
quire repetition, said, "Sir, if you ex-
pect to be treated like gentleman, you
must prove yourself one" There was
never occasion afterward to repeat the
admonition.-Exchange.

I found that there were stations
which were considered particularly de-

chief Of these was in front of the old

A novelty costume has the sleeves
covered with braiding either put on by
hand or machine. There is a tendency
toward setting in fancy sections at the
top of the sleeves. One dress is Of sill

silver embroidery in points set in at
the sleeve tops. There are similar
points falling from the belt. A stylish
