Hints ON Retouching.
Harpers Round Table)


II often happens that there are spots on
a negative-caused by specks of dust on
the plate, air-bubbles in the developer,
or unlucky scratches I'm the handling
which. If not covered in some way, make
a black spot on the silver paper, and mar
the beauty of what would otherwise be
q fine picture. With little practice, one
can learn to fill up these defects so that
they will be scarcely noticeable in the
print.
Take a drop or two Of the retouching
varnish on the end OF the finger, and rub
II lightly and evenly over the places
which are TO be retouched. Put TO dry
In a place free from dust; 1t will be dry
enough in three or four hours. Place
the retouching frame on table by a
window. with a good, strong light. close
the blind or lower the shade over the
unner part of the window, and place a
sheet OF white paper under the frame on
the table. Place the negative in the
frame. and over it put a piece OF Opaque
naner. with hole AN inch or two in di-
ameter opening over the place TO be re-
touched. This also protects the film,
and shuts Off all light except
from the points TO be treated.
Now. IL the hole Is large one.
take the brush and mo!sten II, and
rnb n little OF the lamp-black from the
&c of water-color on It. Then with the
rreat test care touch the spot directly in
the centre with bit OF the paint. Rinse
the brush. and turning II till a fine point
Is obtained, work the paint carefully to-
ward the edges of the spot taking care
that II does not touch the film. but comes
close TO Il. Let the paint dry. and II the
first application has not made the spot OF
an equal density with the surrounding
film. repeat the process. II the operation
is not successful. the paint can be re-
moved by applying little turpentine on
a soft cloth.

What Are OutportsR
QOstOn Herald)

Some Of the New York business or
CARNATIONS and New York newspapers
have adopted a Characterization for the
other Atlantic seapOrts than New York.
which. while Il may afford a gratifca-
tlon TO local pride. Is hardly exact as a
definition in the present, and stu less
likely 10 be one I'm the future. This is
10 refer 10 Boston. Philadelphia. Bait.-
more. Newport News. and other great
export points as Outports. The term
itself. If we are not mistaken. IS one
which had its origin in Newfoundiand.
For a great many years past IL has been
customary for the people OF ST Johns
TO speak OF all the other fishing ports
ON the south and east coast as outpOrts-
that is. they are the ports I'm NewfoIui-
land outside Of ST. Johns, but In this
case directly tributary thereto, since
commonly. the supplies for fishing yen-
lures in these small places have been
controlled by the sO-called merchants Of
ST. Johns. But II IL not customary in
london to speak OF Liverpool as an out
mort. and hence, the assumption I'm New
York of thus grouping trade rivals as
though they were provincial tributaries
IS doubtless characteristic OF our neigh
bors. but, none the less, somewhat
strained.

Lose Employment.

plant at the South Chicago works of the
Illinois Steel Company was closed to-day
for an indfenite period. Twelve hundred
workmen, who came to the mill this
morning for their usual daily work, were
surprised TO find the notice posted on
the big gates. The cut in the working
force of the company follows a readtust-
ment of wages of all employees except
skilled workmen. amounting to a decrease
Of from 10 to GO per cent, from the Presi-
dent down to the water-carriers. Re
garding the shutting down to-day, Presi-

Is merely that the orders received do not
Justify us in continuing to turn out rails.
No other departments Will be affected
and there will be no more change in the
