FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
Custom That Dates Back to tn,
Reign of Hugues Cnpet.

Custom That Dates Back to the
Reign of Hughes Cnpet.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hugues Capet,
king of France in 9S7, says Vogue.
Once, as Hugues was arranging his
uncle's affairs, he found on one of the
estates servant who had grown gray
in the service of his relative. He had
been such a friend of his masters that
he was almost looked upon as one of the
family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was as old
as he, and also unmarried, and who had
been the most devoted and hard work.

praises of the two, he ordered them to
be brought before him, and said to the
woman:

that it became a fashion after a 2:

CHINA PAINTING HINTS.
Description of Some Very Popular

Description of Some Very Popular
styles of Decoration.
Within the past few years the art OF
china decoration has been a most pop
ular pastime and profitable business
to many.
che mode of coloring is simplified and
much improved with the advance in
this work, and the demand is for a bet
ter class of designs than formerly were
placed before the public, they being for
the most part decidedly crude and mar
tistic.
Here is conventional design for
decorating a set of plates; either break
fast, soup, dinner, dessert or fruit
plates, and design for decorating a
tea caddy, biscuit jar, rose jar, or even a
tray. The design for plates can be cas-
lily painted by an experienced person, as
1t requires simple tinting, and the shad-
ing of the cut will guide one in shading
the colors from dark to light.
One desirable scheme of color is car
ried out in painting the darkest scrolls
In deep purple. The next lighter is
carnation No. 1, and the lightest scrolls
in silver yellow. The scrolls should be
ell shaded, starting from the center
of the design with the darkest shade
and gradually fading out to pale
shade at the top of the scrolls.
Another style of decorations is as fol-
lows: Tint the darkest scrolls with
carmine, shading to light at the tips
of the scrolls. The next lighter scrolls
should be shaded with grass green, and
the lightest in a delicate tint of sky
blue. There are many other harmon
ious combinations of color which will
suggest themselves to the artist.
In painting the yellow narcissus de-
sign more skill is requisite in order to
shade the petals and cups to prevent
fat appearance. One must use his

Preachers who practise it will

No class OF people Is so Liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from a heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that a minister feels impelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "clergymen's sore throat
