Greco Egyptian Painting.

The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt arc described in Tho
Monthly illustrator and the methods of
the old artists employed.
The methods Of these ancient days
were totally different from those of the
present day and were evidently vastly
moro durable. Panels of wood were
used to paint on-sycamoro and cypress
also panels of papicr mache, and oc-
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicllnesscs 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
pcrnanence-blue powdered lapis lazu-
H. green malachite, red oxide of iron,
etc. The colors were laid Oh i'll patches,
somewhat after the fashion of Il mosaic.
and afterward blended with an instru-
mcnt called the cestrum, which appears
to have been a. lancet shaped spatula,
long handled, with at one end Il curved
point, at the other finely dentatcd
edge. With the toothed edge the wax
could be cQualized and smoothcd. while
the point was used for placing high
lights, marking lips, eyebrows. etc.
Tho final process, which gives tho
mime encaustic to this kind of painting,
was the burning i'll of the colors. This
WAS done by the application of u heated
surface to the panel, though George
Ebers believes that in Egypt tho heat
of the sun was probably all that was
needed-to complete the artists work.

Living Beyond Incomn.

Many people are living among luz
urles which arc suited to their tastes
and their desires. but arc not suited to
anything else about them. Their cir
cumstances-would wo could thorough
~ apply thut word-aro not their real
surroundings, not those Of their proper
standing.
The false start is made with the we'd
ding presents. Foolish friends give to
the bride Of the young clerk or book
Keeper articles of luxury suited to an
establishment that should expend S1O.-
OO0 yoar. 1t would knock out great
deal of the sentiment no doubt for
wealthy and liberal vol wishers to
send check expressive of their inter
est, but 1t would give IL little freedom
to tho newly married folks to put it
away for future demanding more ex-
panso. OF course the foolish bride might
instantly spend it III some personal or
furnishing finery-might feel under OBJ
legations to the eiver to do so, when the
money should DO considered rather as a
NEST egg"
AS 1T is now, everything is mado hard
for them. They are expected to compete
III church and out of it with incomes
five times their own. They are asked to
contribute with the rich to every char
ity that is going. They have never
studied the economies of housekeeping
or cooking, and neither of them knows
how to save Goals or how to teach the
Ignorant servants who come into their
Seryice. Good Housekeeping.

CAR HORSES HARD TO GET.
Tho Demand Is Now So Small That the
Trade Neglccts Them.

Aruuc NcEIeCtS IhGm.
One of the most curious effects of the
general replacing of horses by eleotrici-
ty and cable traction for drawing street
cars Is being experienced by one of the
extensive Car lines III this city which
still uses horses. Ono would suppose
that, since tho only lines in the whole
country which continue to use horses
now form but IL very small percentage
of those which used them five years
ago, these lines would have Il much
wider range of choice and could get
horses of grade superior to tho 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 i'll direct competition with the
cable lines of the upper west side. and
its managers, who recently purchased
1t, determined as soon as they came in
to possession to place upon it superior
lot of horses, and i'll 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
i'll tho fact that since the demand for
street car horses almost ceased tho trade
machinery by which they were gathered
has fallen into disuse. a few years ago
tho street car horses wero ono of tho
most important features of the horse
market. They were animals of stand
ard grade and of almost stable price,
and every part of tho country contributed
its quota. Tho 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 i'll the service to
mako the question of few years more
or less Of any consequence. The demand
was constant, and the price never varied
i'll New York more than from about
$125 to $50 each. Dealers could always
count upon getting this price and get
ting 1T promptly, and US consequence
every horse which would answer tho
purpose was safe Investment at lit
tie smaller price, and clean profit of
$40 II horse was regarded as fair mar
gin i'll handling them.
Horses of all sorts. which lacked the
qualities OF speed, beauty or youth, but
possessed the other requirements, wero
quickly sorted ont from the markets of
the whole country, and every big dealer
WAS always able 10 gather droves of car
horses rs fast us the companies needed
them. The trolley has superseded the
car horses, and car horses arc 10 longer
quoted AS staples III the market. The
companies which still uso them are
obliged 20 30 out and search the narts
and buy them one 10y one instead OF
simply sending ont az orGcr for 100 or
