The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in The
Monthly Illustrator and the methods of
the old artists employed.
The methods of these ancient days
We're totally different from those Of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels of wood were
used to paint on-sycamore and cypress
ALSO panels of papier mache, and &C.
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicknesses Of canvas together.
These panels were usually about IA
inches long by Z inches wide. The artist
used liquid wax instead of oil to mix
the colors, which were made not from
vegetable, but from mineral substances
and were of marvellous brilliancy and
permanence-blue powdered lapis lazu-
Ii, green malachite, red oxide Of iron,
etc. The colors were laid on in patches,
somewhat after the fashion of a mosaic,
and afterward blended with an instru-
ment called the cestrum, which appears
to have been a lancet shaped spatula,
long handled, with at one end a curved
point, at the other a finely dentated
edge. With the toothed edge the wax
could be equalized and smoothed. while
the point was used for placing high
lights, marking lips, eyebrows, etc.
The final process which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of painting,
was the burning in of the eolors. This
was done by the application of heated
surface to. the panel. though George
Ebers believes that in Egypt the heat
of the sun was probably all that was
needed to complete the artists work.

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.

The Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Neglects Them.
One of the most curious effects Of the
general replacing Of horses by electrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars is being experienced by one Of the
extensive car lines in this city which
still uses horses. One would suppose
| that, since the only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but very small percentage
of those which used them five years
ago, these lines would have a much
wider range of choice and could get
horses of a grade superior to the gen.
eral run of those which used to be
offered to them. Remarkable as it may
seem, this is the exact opposite of the
truth.
The New York city line referred to
runs in direct competition with the
cable lines Of the upper west side, and
its managers, who recently purchased
it, determined as soon as they came in
to possession to place upon it superior
lot of horses, and in this way improve
its running until mechanical propulsion
could be introduced. Orders were sent
out to buy the needed horses. Much to
| the surprise of the managers, it was
discovered that there were almost no
street car horses of any kind to be
bought.
The explanation Of this situation lies
in the fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost ceased the trade
machinery by which they were gathered
has fallen into disuse. A few years ago
the street car horses were one of the
most important features Of the horse
market. They were animals Of stand
ard grade and of almost stable price,
and every part Of the country contributed
its quota. The street car horse had to
! be big and able and sound of limb and
wind, but it might be Of any age. Few
lasted long enough in the service to
make the question Of few years more
or less of any consequence. The demand
was constant and the price never varied
in New York more than from about
$125 to $3.50 each. Dealers could always
count upon getting this price and get
| ting it promptly, and as a consequence
every horse which would answer the
purpose was safe investment at lit
tie smaller price, and clean profit of
$40 horse was regarded as fair mar
gin in handling them.
Horses of all sorts, which lacked the
qualities of speed, beauty or youth, but
possessed the other requirements, were
quickly sorted out from the markets Of
the whole country, and every big dealer
was always able to gather droves of car
horses as fast as the companies needed
them. The trolley has superseded the
car horses, and car horses are no longer
quoted as staples in the market. The
companies which still use them are
obliged to go out and search the marts
and buy them one by one instead Of
simply sending out an order for 100 or
900 or 500 and getting them as readily
as they would SO many loads of hay or
grain. York Sun.

How Chewing Gum Is Made,


A walk through leading chewing
gum factory is interesting. Here over
/ 900, 900, 900 pieces of gum are annual
ly produced and shipped to every por-
ton of the world. Three hundred en-
ployees are engaged in the manufacture
Of the gum, the first step of which is
the importation of the raw chicle,
which is gathered by the poems in Mex
loo and exported in bales containing
about $50 pounds each.
The gum is taken from the bales and
chopped into small pieces These are
freed from tree bark and chips by steam
ing and picking. Then it is ground in
mills making 8, 400 revolutions min
ute. The ground gum is subjected to a
continuous heat of 14O degrees F. in
drying rooms. From here the gum is
sent to the white aproned cook, +" who
adds the purest sugar and the freshest
cream, granulated pepsin, powdered
guru or kola or other desired ingredient
to it and cooks it in a steam jacketed
caldron, where it is turned and mixed
by an ingenious double acting beater or
rotating paddle until it has assumed the
consistency of bread dough.
Now the dough boys take hold of
it and knead it in finely powdered sugar,
passing it to the rollers, where it is
rolled between steel rollers until it is of
the proper thickness, when it is whisked
away to the markers. The markers
Nre steel knived rollers which leave
their impress npon the long sheets of
appetizing gum before it goes to the

Now the gum finds its way to the
wrapping room. The nimble fingers
of 100 dainty maidens are here at play
Under their deft touch waxed paper,

gum quick as wink, and in another
moment the packers have the gum to

Trouble Caused by an ST.

Editor Clugston of the Spiketown
Blizzard looked out of the front window
of his Office, hurriedly grabbed his hat
and darted out through the back door,
says the Chicago Journal.
The last issue of The Blizzard had
contained personal item to this effect:
"Our young friend, George Corbin-
son of Thatchersville, was in town
again last Sunday. Rumor has it that
he will soon lead to the altar beauti-
full belle of Spiketown. George is one
of the sold young men of our neighbor-
ing city"
Editor Clugston had written it solid
young men,, but he knew it would be
of no use to try to explain the mistake
to the large, athletic young woman
who was approaching the Office.
And SO when Miss Euphorbia Lick
ladder, the acknowledged belle of
Spiketown, walked in at the front door
a few moments later and inquired in a
deep, tragic voice for the editor, Mr..
Clugston was emerging from back
alley az blocks away and making for
the open country.

The Story of a Stolen Watch and a Truly

The Story of Stolen Watch and q Truly
Penitent Thief.
Being rich and proud, the old railroad
magnate would give reasonable for
tune if this incident in his career had
never become public. He had left his
office one afternoon, and in front of the
building found a crowd, attracted by a
passing procession. He was pressing
his way through when stopped by a
brilliantly handsome young woman
whose face wore a troubled look. She
wanted to reach street in the north
western part of the city and was at a
loss what route to take. He calamity
helped her out of the crush, put her on
the right car and told her where to get
off. Wanting to know the time few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket, only to find it unoccupied. A
little profanity was followed by a
chuckle, for the watch taken was a
cheap affair he was carrying while his
timepiece was being repaired.

young lady, but the next day she ap-

money, had no one to whom she could
go for help and had yielded to mo-

gave her no rest until she repented and
made restitution. She had thrown her
self on his mercy, and the old gentle
man was deeply moved. He insisted on
her taking $50, to be returned if she

Remedy For the Melon Louise.

The only known remedy for the mel
ON louise, so destructive last season, is
bisulphide of carbon. Farm Journal
tells how to use it: Fasten a piece of
rag, sponge or cotton batting to stick,
dip it in the liquid and push the other
end Of the stick into the center of the
hill. Place over this at once tent of
paper or oiled muslin and let it remain
two hours. The liquid is volatile and
its fumes heavy. They will fill the tent
with deadly gas and destroy every
louise.
These pests usually appear at first on
hills here and there over field, and
from these spread in circle outward,
finally involving the whole patch. By
keeping a sharp watch and treating
these few hills the whole crop may be
saved. The presence of the lice may be
detected by the inward curl of the leaves
and their dirty, dark green color. The
lice being on the underside and shield
ed by the curl of the leaves, it is almost
impossible to reach them by any form
of spray.

THE RIVER OF LIFz.

Tis fieeting, changeful river,
Blent of calm and crusted wave,
Flowing in and out forever
Tween the cradle and the grave.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing, ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.
Forms of light and shapes Of shadow
Float upon its troubled breast.
Through the moorland and the meadow,
On; the waters will not rest.
Here bud, by churl hand wrested,
Flung into the angry foam.
There flower with blooms invested
Pluclked and ravished from its home.
Youth and age, and strength and weakness
Beauty, innocence and sin,
Pride and power, and love and meekness,
All in turn are gathered in.
Time and Death, two grand old warders
Watch it rise and mark it flow.
Death, upon the still seas borders,
Bids the ice wind ON it blow.
Changeful river fond hearts parting,
In that still and solemn sea
Joined to heal the grief and smarting
Bud and flower with stem shall be.
Eor DER Time and Death an angel
Gods strong angel-walks the waves,
Claiming with his trump, Evangel,
All that pass within the grave.
Claiming for his Lord and Master,
By the flaming cross he wears,
Although battered by disaster
All the sullen river bears.
Changeful river, ever flowing,
Narrower and broader growing,
Flowing, flowing, ever going
Toward the still and solemn sea.
