DAY OF THE DEAD IN PARIS.
Curious Scenes During the Pilgrimage to

Curious Scenes During the Pilgrimage to

Paris, it is said, thinks once a year of
those whom she has lost. The truth is
she thinks very much oftener of them,
for their touching devotion to the mem
Dry of the dead is one Of the finest sides
of the French character.
The day after All Saints is the "day
of the dead"-the jour DIES morris.
Then Parisians visit the great ceme-
teries - Pere Lachaise, Montmartre,
Montparnasse, Passy, Vanguard and
Saint Ouen. 1t is a curious sight to see
the crowds sweeping like torrent along
the boulevards of Bellevue and Menil-
montant between the two rows of booths
piled up with embIems of grief and
piety.
About half the number are simple
sightseers-badaubs, who are attracted
by any crowd, and who can be readily
recognized by their Indifferent and gap
ing air and empty hands
The others, in mourning habits, carry
in their hands wreaths of everlasting
flowers, sprigs of lockwood and yew, bou-
quets, medallions under glass, with a
weeping willow and some artless in
scription ma mere, notre pere, etc.
The cemeteries themselves present an
unaccustomed spectacle. The entrances
are guarded by mounted guardes de Pa
ris i'll full uniform; policemen are sta
toned to regulate the circulation in the
interior, and around the cemetery hawk
ers of all sorts spread out their wares in
tempting array-immortelles for the
dead, cakes and petit bleu-cheap wine
for the living
The exterior boulevards are too small
for the crowd Of mourners, and the inns
and wineshops too small for the Gus

Old Greek Painters.

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
10 paint on, sycamore and cypress, also
panels of papier mache, and occasional
ly they were formed by gluing three
thicknesses of canvas together. These
panels were usually about IA inches long
by 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 lazuli, green
malachite, red oxide of iron, etc. The
colors were laid OH in patches. some
what after the fashion of a mosaic, and
afterward blended with al instrument
called the cestrum, which appears to
have been lancet shaped spatula, long
handled, with at one end a curved point,
at the other finely dentated edge.
With the toothed edge the wax could be
equalized and smoothed, while the point
was used for placing high lights, mark
ing lips, eyebrows, etc.
The final process which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of painting,
was the burning in of the colors. 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 need
ed to complete the artists work.

Rossini's Laziness.

Rossini was one of the most indolent
of men, and in his younger days used
to do most of his composing in bed.
Once he had almost completed a trio,
when the sheet fell out of his hand and
went under the bed. He could not reach
it. and, rather than get up. he wrote
another. The lazy man, if he works at
all, does so by spurts, and Rossini, work.
ing against time, wrote 1.-THE Barber OF
Seville" in 10 days. When Donizetti
was told of this, he remarked, 1T IL
very possible-he is so lazy!" The over
ture to the "Gazza Ladra" was written
under curious circumstances. On. the
very day of the first performance OF the
opera not note of the overture was
written, and the manager, getting hold
of Rossini confined him in the upper
loft of La Scala, setting four scene shift
ers on guard over him. These took the
sheets as they were filed and threw
them out of the windows to copyists be-
meath.

A Floral detective of Long Ago.

In early times the Dutch farmers Of
the up river farms of New York had an
ingenious way Of recovering pocket
knives that might have been dropped or
mislaid while blowing or gardening was
going ON. Cutlery was not as cheap then
and abundant as in these days; so the
farmers took the thrifty precaution of
keeping two or three sunflower seeds in
their knife handles Then if the knives
fell upon broken ground and could not
be readily found, the owners would wait
until the seeds sprouted, and an isolated
sunfower stalk or blossom in field or
patch would signalize the possibility Of
a missing articles being at its root.
True, the owner did not always realize
the result of the scheme, because pass
ing boy who understood the token often
"got there" before the planter. New

Nansen's Fran.

Nansen invented the model OF the
Fran, making her hull round and slip
perry, like an eel, with no corners or
sbarp edges for the ice to seize upon.
She is the strongest vessel ever used III
arctic exploration. He said that pressure
would simply lift her on the ice, and SO
her bottom near the keel, was made al
most fat in order that she might not
capsize while OH the ice surface, and her
screw and rudder were also ingeniously
protected. The many experts who said
her design would not save the Fran
from instant destruction were mistaken,
for she met these resistless ice pressures'
and they merely lifted her out OF her
cradle. and she rested safely ON the sur
face.
