CAMEO CARVING.
Brief Description of the Tools and the
Methods Employed.
(Ncw York Evening Post.)

All the tools used by the cameo car

worker sits before a wheel turned by
pedal: tools occupy small corner of
the table surface on which the workers
hands rest while he holds the shaped
stone or shell beneath the necde-lke
drill. The lite pointed instruments
which are used to drill resemble those
employed by n dentist, and. indeed. it
WAS from the cameo carvers' kit that
the dentists got many of their IDEAS
when the tools now in use by them
came to he manufactured thirty years
ago. The drills vary in thickness, ac-
cording TO the portion OF the figure or
design 10 be executed; some are as fine
as the point of n cambria needle. y
small china receptacle also stands
near, filed With oil and diamond dust,
and into this the workman frequently
dips his tool during the progress OF his
work. The cameo cutters occupa ton
is very eXacting. He can put in only
few hours work al Il time as a usual
thing, because of the tension on his
nerves. a quavering hand may he re-
6ponsible for stroke which will spoil d
weeks work. He must have an eye
almost like a microscope. and Il very
delicate touch he must know how 90
model and draw, and he must have {,
knowledge of chemistry. so as to re-
move offending spots. The work Is cx-
ecuted in relief on many kinds of hard
or precious stones, but essentially the
chalcedonic variety Of quartz. and on
shells. The cameo cutter himself pre-
ters onyx, because of its dark ana light
layers. which throw out in bold relief
q white head, say, against black
background. He evolves his picture by
removing all that portion of the white
stratum remaining after the head has
been completed. Sapphire blocks are
used. carneliaf. turquoise, amethyst and
numerous other stones. j takes about
p'e month 10 execute IL portrait on
onyx, while much less time is consumed
af the work is done on shell. There is
always great danger of the latter
breaking, and its durabilit%. too is not
great, so that shell. as n rule, is not as
desirable as the harder materials. A
portrait on onyx will cost 5000, while
one on shell may be had for $50. The
inquiries for these are rare ana build
Ing up a patronage is slow. and is ac-
complished mainly by satisfied custom

tSrrh. I havo tried it and know it. It

Hrb0r Ddg approaches.

The Arbor Day festival has become
an established institution. From
small beginnings it has come to be an
important educational agency. But
there yet remain many treeless school
sites in Wisconsin. The teachers who
are responsible for them ought to
make a good beginning this year. Do
something even if you plant but one
tree.
lnasmuch as bare and bleak eX-
terror is an almost unfailing sign of
a neglected interior, it is recommend
ed also that the teachers improve the
intervening time to make the school
room itself as pleasant and home
like as their taste and available means
make possible. Then prepare good
program for afternoon or evening, and
make parents day of the occasion.
See that the directors are present.
Make the aesthetic wants of the
school known to them. Tell them
plainly that the best kind of school
is possible only in a good school house.
Point out the needed repairs on the
house and the improvements possible
in the grounds. Ask for library, a
reading table, dictionaries. pictures.
and whatever is needed by the school.
The school-roOm ought to be the
pleasantest room in the district. Tell
the people that is the right way and
they will make it so, and increase
your salsry as well. Because ifyou do
these things,-if you clean up the
grounds. plant trees and flowers, and
beautify the interior, it will soon be-
come current and known in neigh bor-
ing districts that you are alive and
have energy, and that perception OF
the right thing to do under difficult
or unusual circumstances commonly
called 'gumption, and you will be
worth more Your services will then
be in demand, and you will no longer
have to go to the directors for employ
ment. They VIII come to YOU.
