an abstainer from liquor, but drank
temperately, and his beverages were
champagne, burgundy and whisky and
water. His religious position he him

definition of a newspaper man is,

ink" A gentleman at the door with

" Send for Amos Cummings and tell

Pine Tree State Etiquette,

Distinctions Made In OmcfaI Titles by
Pine Tree State Etiquette,
There is a form of official etiquette
in the correspondence which goes out
from the secretary of states office
which is unlike hat followed in any of
the New England states. According
to the rulings of the secretary-and he
is simply carrying out the traditions of
his predecessors since Maine became a
state in 1s20-the judges of the supreme
and superior courts, the members of the
governors council, the senators, the
heads of all the departments and the
mayors of Names cities have their mail
addressed to them with the word Hon
orable" prefixed to the name in every
case, while the members of the house of
representatives, the judges of the mu-
nicipal courts in the cities-whose sal
aries in some cases exceed that paid to
the goyerpor-and all minor of1cehold-
ers must content themselves with the
term Esquire" following their names.
AS for the governor, he is always ad-
dressed as Ellis EXcellency."
Other New England states-Nlassa-
chusetts and New Hampshire in partic-
ular-are more liberal in the distribu-
ton of titles, for they prefix Hon
orable" to municipal judges, repre-
sentatives and aldermen in the various
cities. 1t is probable that Maine is the
only state where a municipal judge can
be addressed verbally as your Honor"
but is not entitled to the prefix of 'The
Honorable"

NEW TARIFF.
Trainers of the Law Expect It to
Yield a Big Revenue.
Expecting an Increase of at Least 100000
o Over the Wilson Bul-LArgest Rev
enue from Sugar-Proposed Tariff
on Agricultural

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The frameBs of
the new tariff law are counting upon
an increase of $50, 900, 600 in the reve-
nue. aboIe what is yielded by the pres
emit law. The exact elements of this
increase cannot be determined until
the new measure is more nearly COM
plete than at present, but a rough
calculation al be made of h sources
from which the increase is expected.
These may be stated as follows: Sugar,
S25, 600, 900; wool and woolens, SIS, 000.-
900; tobacco, So, OOO, 600; agricultural
products, 81, 900, 600; spirits, 81, OOO, 900;
fax, hemp and their manufactures,
81, 600, 900; cotton hosiery and other cot
tons, 81, 600, 900; chinaware and glass,
81, 900, 0o0; miscellaneous items, 5 S,000,-
600. A deficit of SIS, 203, 245 for the
fiscal year 1896 and a probable deficit
of $50, 600, 900 for the fiscal year 1897
would be more than wiped out by an
increase of the revenue by the mount
of SEQ, O0o, 900 annually. 1t is probable
that the surplus will be much larger
by the close of the fiscal year 1899 than
these figures would indicate.

tee has practically completed the aRri-
cultural schedule OF the new tariff bill.
except ON a few unimportant products.
The tariff on cattle is placed at IS per
head. Breadstuffs and rice, dairy
products, meat and meat products, po-
tatoes, eggs, poultry, salt, and all
vegetables are returned to the McKin-
ley rates. The Mckinley rate of 81
per ton on hay is also restored.

oRECo-EoYPTIAN PAINTING.

Process by which Very Remarkable Por-
traits Were Done.
The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in the
Monthly Illustrator and the methods
the old artists employed.
The methods of these ancient days
were totally different from those of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels of wood were
used to paint o-n-sycamore and cypress
also panels of papier mache, and oc-
c~asionally 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 sub
stances, and were of marvellous bril-
liancy and permanence-blue pow
dered lapis lazuli, green malachite, red
oxide of iron, etc. The colors were laid
on in patches, somewhat after the fash
ion of a mosaic. and afterwards blended
with an instrument called the cestrum,
which appears to nave bee n 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, eye
brows, etc.
The final process, which gives the
name e%ncaustic to this kind Of paint
ing. was the burning in of the colors.
This was done by the application of n
heated surface to the panel, though
Georg Ebers believes that in Egypt the
heat of the sun was probably all that
was needed to complete the artists

ayers for the insane asylums, eleemos-

Gov. Stephens will make in the selec-
ton of boards will be the appointment
of a management in charge of the
asylum at Nevada which will be favor
able to the school of homeopathy
and place that institution in charge
of the homeopathic physicians. Gov.
Stephens is himself a homeopath and
SO is most of his family connections.
But aside from this, with all due re-
spect to the old school of physicians,
he deems it but just and right that
they surrender this asylum to homeo-
pathic management.
