NEW WATER-COLOR PROCESS.
Harvey Young, the Artist. Discovers
Method 20 Preserve
Paintings.

Harvey Young, the artist of Rocky
mountain fame, has discovered n new
process for the preservation of wa
ter-color paintings. Mr.. Young's
process appears to be as simple as
1T is wonderful, and he claims that
he Is the sole possessor of the new
system. says the Chicago Record.
When treated by the process the
paintings have every appearance of
oil paintings.
This effect is produced by the use
of ordinary pigment or colors m.xad
with water instead of oil. put on
very thick and then vanished over
several times with an alcohol varnish.
The moisture of the pigment is en-
sirely evaporated before the varnish
is put on and then the ground work
cannot be reached or affected by cor.-
tact with the elements. Water-color
paper is used instead of canvas, and
it is pasted on thick pulp board. The
pictures, ii is said, can be washed
at any time without injury

THE WEALTH OF TIME.

Time is the one universal possession
and is the nonsalable property of all man
kind. 1t is the property of prince and
pauper, tramp and millionaire. 1t is
owned by children and grandsires, by all
ages, both sexes, and everywhere. No
trust controls Time. No monopoly les
sens it, and none can acquire or accu-
mulate it. The distribution of Time
is equal. Even water is sold and air
for breathingspace denied within some
crowded city quarters; but Time is
each individuals inalienable belong
ing. Nor does one have more than
any other. Each has the present
moment for employment to the full
Yesterday is dead and tomorrow not
alive. Yesterday is wealth expended
which is poverty and tomorrow is riches
unattained which is poverty. Eternity
is before and after-Time is only now.
The past was, the future may be, the
present is. And folks have this fortune
and no more. Time is the great healer
and had it no other value, no. other
wealth, the possession would be chief
because of this fact. AS grass comes in
the spring time to cover with its blessed
benediction all the sore spots which
cruel winter leaves, so Time unfolds its
coverlet upon the sore spots of the
human heart. Blessed be Time for its
balm for evermore. The sorrows of life
are unaccountable. The sea-sands are
not more numerous than the sadnesses.
From the travail of birth to the tragedy
of death the march of man is procession
of pain. The bearers of suffering, the
grand army of the wounded ones, are a
host innumerable. Except for the heal
ing art of Time the burden would crush
the afflicted to the ground. But Time
draws curtain over the past and the
pain of yesterday becomes forgotten in
the new incidents of today. Time des-
troys monuments and men, but it also
blots out pain and alleviates suffering
Life would be otherwise tremendous,
titanic tragedy. The accumulated woes
of one year would come upon the next
and thus continue until man fell under
the piled-up burden. But Time brings
forgiveness and forgetting. The sorrow
of the night endures not in the morning
hours. If all things pleasant pass away.
so do all things sad. Ecstasy is tenn
porary, and agony is the twin of ecstasy
in continuance. 1t is the soul of man,
not his suffering, which is immortal.
There is no balm which equals this,
which is all mems without the. asking.
"Of all mans wealth Time is the most
precious property"
