CAMEO CARVING

4 New and Artistic Accomplishment
for Clever Beauty-LoyinG Women.
Gravers and seoopers and other mys-
terious little instruments have crept into
the modern maiden's den.
It sounds quite formidabIe-cameo carv-
ipg-but in reality 1t fs quite simple
First you provide yourself with a working
J table, ii need not be large; then, at any
art STORE buy half dozen gTavers and
scoopers OF varying degrees OF fineness;
the next outlay is for q shell upon which
you are TO cut the cameo Black, red and
yellow "belmets, as the Shells are called,
are required, and they cost from three to
five dollars each, but from a good shell
several ovals or rounds can be cut.
After it has been cut the required
size and shape, it is then fixed with hot
cement upon q holder-a little block that
can be held in the hand. The upper sur
face OF the shell is made sufficiently
smooth to take the design, which is then
traced upon it, as one traces on china:
all the white part beyond the design is
cut away, leaving the pattern on the
| dark GROUND to be, by degrees, cut into
form. The thickness and quality of the
white stratum cannot be known until
the shell is cut. 1t varies a good deal SO
that sometimes the figure will stand out In
much higher relief than was at first an
! ticipated
Sometimes when a particular design ia
TO be made several shells are cut before a
suitable one is found
The skill of the artist is shown in the
arrangement of the design so as TO make
the best use of the shell. For instance
the foliage must be arranged to come
where the white is thinnest and figures
where the thickness of the white will give
| rounduess TO the limbs
1t naturally follows that the one who
understands thee arts of drawing and paint
ing and all about lights and shadows,
will make the greatest success as a cameo
engraver.
To take out any scratches made by the
graver. the cameo or shell must be polished
by rubbing ii with pumicc stone and water
| after which tt must be washed in warm
water, when second polishing follows
with pumice dust and oil, and with q small
lockwood stick. Then it must be washed
again. The third and last finish is given
with fine rotten stone and sulphurfc acid.
very high degree OF polish is thus OBJ
tained anu behold your cancel Perhans
not, at first, the success you dreamed. but
still fairly satisfactory, while with prac-
tee You go on 10 perfection and in time
have choice bit to offer a friend.
What cameo, and you cut ft?"
Yes; oh, that's nothing I've done
dozens of them" and so forth, and so on.
while you in turn initiate your friend in
the mysteries of cameo cutting aud feel
sufficiently rewarded for your labors in
her exclamations of surprise at your great
clevsrne6s.

We asked her why she wept, and she told
us her life.
She was soiled dove. Deceived by the
man she loved and by whom her life was
blasted, she was now trying to work out
her own salvation. She had tried in many
ways during the two or three days pre-

One or the officers took her in charge

Secretary Gresham's funeral, arrived at

The members of the party said they ex-
perienced little discomfort on account of
the excessive heat 1t had been a quick
and comfortable trip.
None of the cabinet would express any
opinion as to who would be the late Secre-

been mentioned.
Carriages awaited the party at the
station and they were driven to their homes.

Jersey Farming and its Future.
THE TREND AWAY FROM THE CITY
NOW ACCORDING TO A NEWARK
PAPER.

NOW ACCORDING TO A NEWARK
,.prp
| A Newark newspaper, the ''Senti-
mel of Freedom" sees bright future
for the New Jersey farmers. 1t
says:
Ever since the war there has been
a steady movement OF population
from-the rural sections of the towns
and cities. Farmers sons and daugh-
ters are no longer content to take up
the occupations of their parents, and
many of them, as soon as they are of
an age to leave the paternai roof,
seek homes and occupations in the
loses by these desertions is i'll sup
or by such tramp labor as the farmer
can pick up on the highway In the
rural sections of New Jersey, the con-
uitions as Indicated have long been
apparent In many sections the
population has remained stationary
or dw.ndled and there has been
decline in farm values. Farms that
in 1885 were worth $4,000 to $25, 200
represent to the buyer now no more
than $4,000 to $S, 900,
But there has begun from the cities
a movement TO the suburbs and ru
raj districts that is as marked as that
of country young people to the town,
and it seems to be the beginning OF a
new era of farm life that promises
immense advantages to our State,
situated rs it is between two OF
the greatest cities of the United
States.
Improved land in New. Jersey is
already higher in value than in any
other State of the Union. Last year
the total product of our farmers and
dairymen brought $2S, 997 ,349, repre-
senting an average value per acre of
improved land OF $l451 This lnprov-
ed land constituted 75l per cent. of
the total area OF the State, including
mountains, salt meadows, pine bar
rens and sand dunes. The total av-
erage value per farm in New Jersey
is $5,91S, and there are 30, 828 farms,
of which q, 442 are worked by their
owners.
Now, the largely reduced values of
farm lands since the war are bound
to be the best factor III the restora-
ton Of the farming industry. The
reduced value makes the plant cost
only one-half of it's former price,
which is a great saving of capital to
a purchaser now. Then, again, farm
