The entire inadequacy Of the space

According to RaffaeIi, who recently

authority in Europe, although most
of them have been educated, in part

This independence, this true artistic
instinct will make Chicago one of

The interest of the German emperor
in art matters is demonstrated in a
quite practical manner. S~culptors
often find a heavy tax laid upon them,
while executing equestrian statues, to
procure good models for their equine

now received permission to use for
these purposes the chargers in the
imperial stables, which are, if neces-
sary, brought to the studios.

70 PREVENT DAME WALLS
eimnIe Process which InvoIvea Bat
Little Expense and
Lnbor.


IS is unnecessary to dilate upon the
hanger and undesirable character OF
damp walls. Not. only do they endan-
ger the furniture, books, fittings and
dressings of the house itself. but a
much more serious matter is the peril
which they convey to the health Of
inmates. 1t is also known that in
many cases walls, as though gifted
with the power of voluntary perversi-
ty, win persist in proving damp, where
no recognized cause exists. In a re-
cent article touching upon this mat
ter the writer describes a very simple
remedy for this difficulty. He says:
I'M many localities there is a great deal
of complaint about damp walls. Ex-
pedients Of all sorts have been resort
ed to in. order to remedy this evil.
but in most cases they have involved
great cost and labor, and sometimes
the only alternative wa the tearing
down of the wall and rebuilding it
with a filing of Portland cement and
other impervious material. A simple
process is said to effectualIy do away
with all dampness. Applications are
made alternately of dissolved CASTLE
soap and dissolved alum. Three
fourths of a pound of soap is melted
in n gallon Of boiling water. The
liquid thus obtained is thoroughly
beaten, to aus a stiff froth. This
and the water are then completely in
~corporated by stirring and made boil.
ing hot. The time for preparing the
wall should be after a long dry spell.
and, as the wall must be as free from
moisture as possible. this condition
can be assisted by the iudicious use
Of fires. Then brush the surface to
be covered until as clean as possible.
With a wide. fiat brush coat the SUI

soap, the same as the first, must be

Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata-

were obliged to increase the size Of this

they illustrate many of their goods in natural

Gould Change ais Mind.

Prof. Hendershott is well known in Pitts
burgh as a man of affable temper, and it is
rare that he shows even impotence. One
car to call on a friend, he asked the con.
ductor to transfer him to the city street
cars at a certain point. Soon afterwafd the
car stopped and he was surprised to see out
side the very friend he was seeking. He
started to leave the car, when the conductor
accosted him. "You can't change for your
car here" he said, b%rusquely. The pro-
lessor passed him, taking no notice. Cant
change cars here, | tell you" snapped the
conductor again. The professor, deep in
conversation with his friend, merely waved
his hand to signify that the car might go
on without him. "Here," cried the man
in brass buttons, angrily, don't / tell you
that you can't change cars at this placer"
Then the good old professor answered with
severity: "But / can change my mind at
this station, can't I?"-Golden Days.
