WnlTBwAsHING AN OLD ART.
Medieval London's P;idc Was in It's
Spotless Purity.

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries although painting was ap.
piled to some interiors, whitewashing,
the reproach of modern church war
dens, was in immense reputc and CON
tinued to be all through the Middle
Ages. Whitewashng was the delight
Of the Edwardian period, as the united
reigns of the three Edwards is called,
the period which comprises the most
complete and brilliant development
of painted architecture Several
writs arc eXlant of Henry ILL.,, direct
ing the chapel in the tower to be
whiteWushed. Westminster hall was
whitewashcd for the coronation of
Edward l., and many other instances
might bc cited.
The masonry Of this period it is i'm
possible to surpass in accuracy and
hrmncss, andthis excellencewe find in
the domestic as well as in the ecclesi-
astical buildings. Mr.. Hudson Tur-
ner shows that the whitewash was APP
piled to both where painting could not
be obtained. The stone and other
rough materials were not allowed to
appear; in fact, The clamp of truth"
was not burning SO brightly, in the
MONDAY of medieval art, as to offend
anyone's love Of cleanliness. 1t is
more proper to allude to this, since
certain stereotyued terms of adj
miration are frequently applied
to the Middle Ages, calculat-
ed to convey quite wrong i'm
pressions of them in comparison
with our great and powerful nine
teenth century. Ignorant or indis-
crirninate admiration is folly. Com
bincd with the work of the best art
lists of the purcr times of Italian art,
great puerilities of decorations are to
be seen, and wrong practices are to be
found in many of the best periods of
past art; did not the unapproachable
sculptors of antiquity descend to
glass eyes and other denominations?
The more we investigate the middle
ages the less surprised we shall be to
find whitewash one of the hxuries.
The Londoners continue Jealous
of coal for fuel lest it should impair
the purity of their whitewash, which
appears to have been especially the
pride of London. There was civic
law compelling even the thateh to
be whitewashcd; but this was prob
ably precaution against fire, thick
layer of plaster preventing in some
measure ignition from falling sparks
occasioned by wood fires. When
coal succeeded wood as fuel the white
was varied by different colors on the
houses, still mostly built of timber

WANTED TO TRADE BACK.
A Rural Youth Who Snapped Cow
for Wheel.

1t appears that Mr.. Bassett is quite
a bicycle rider and spends considera-
bic time on his wheel. As he whirlcd
along the country roads near his farm
his riding was greatly admired by a
supplemented youth, who frequent
ly laid aside his hoe and gazed at the
flying wheelman in open-mouthed
wonder The boy finally got the bicy-
Gle fever and one day offered Mr.. Bias
sett a COW for his wheel. The offer
was accepted, and the exchange made.
The next day the verdant youth
initiated himself into the mysteries
of learning to ride the bike. Tenn
porary success emboldened the young
man, causing him to grow reckless
while showing off before the neigh
bors, He finally lost control of the
bike, and with a blood -curdling yell
went over 20-foot embankment.
The bike was completely demolished
and the boy went home in a dilapi-
dated condition. The next day he APP
peared at Mr.. Bassett's house with
the remains of the wheel carefully
nailed up in a box Depositing his
burden on the ground he said "he
guessed he'd take back his cow" Mr..
Bassctt told him he was a bad guesser
Failing to get the COW and realizing
that the bicycle was permanently dis
ablcd, the boy wandered sadly home,
declaring that life had lost its charm.
