MUMMIES MAKE PAINT.

Ground Up and Prepared, They Supply
a Beautiful Brown.
From Stray Stories.
Not many persons are aware Of the fact
that the best brown paint used by artists Is
made from human bodies. Brown artists
color Is made Of mummies taken out Of the
Egyptian mausoleums. When q person
died in the east century or two B. c. he
was preserved in the finest bitumen. The
remains of a body treated thus in those
times, on being unwrapped today, present
an appearance similar to light-colored
leather. The bitumen and the leatherlike
remains are ground down by machinery and
turned into a beautiful brown liquid paint
the delight Of all artists. The big color
dealers generally keep a mummy locked
away in an alright case for use when re-
Quired A single one will last for years,
and make a stupendous amount OF color.
In the manufacture of artists colors ami
NAL, vegetable and mineral substances are
carmine are all obtained from the cochineal
insect. Sepia Is the dark fluid discharged
by the cuttlefish to render the water opaque
for its own concealment when attacked by
a larger fish. Prussian blue Is made by fus-
ing the hoofs of horses with impure potas-
sium carbonate. and ultraz.arine is OBJ
tained from the precious mineral known as
lapis lazuli Gamboge is the yellow sap Of
a tree which grows in Siam, and raw sienna
Is the natural earth from Sienna; when
burned 1t becomes burnt sienna. Turkey
red Is made from the Indian madder plant.
There is only one color that English people
do not know how to produce, and that is In
dia ink. Only the Chinese can make 1t, and
they refuse to divulge the secret of it's COM

"OUEEN" LII AT HOME
OLD RETAINERS WELCOME DUSKY
DAME TO HAWAII.
Natives of the Islands Do Homage to
Woman Who Once Ruled
Them.

From the Honolulu Star, July 1o
The diving embers Of the old feudal 10y
alty of Hawaiians to their chiefs and mon
archs leaped up in response to the return
Of Queen Liliuokalani from washington
last evening Hundreds Of the old retain
ers hastened to Washington place to per-
form homage and knee service to their
queen and to leave fully rewarded and
with their fealty redoubled by being gra-
c,ously permitted to kiss the hand OF their
monarch ex-Queen in reality, but Still
queen In the hearts Of the older generation
Of Hawaiians.
The return and departure OF the queen
to and from her various Journeys to wash
ington where, as they believe she awaits
her rights, which in the belief OF many
seems to include restoration, has always
been made the occasion of reviving many OF
the old customs and ceremonials with
which the Hawaiian monarchy was wont to
vest itself. Liliuokalani is an ardent be-
lever in the dignity of the royal office and
receives homage that might embarrass
many q European throne room with a
savoir faire that makes the servlity OF her
subjects seem regular and respectful duty.
While In Washington the ex-queen con-
forms in part with the customs OF Ameri-
can independence, at home she insists upon
the ceremonial Win WHICH Sic 10 Willingly

Greetings to Ex-Queen.
Aside from those who expected to per-

natives assembled on the wharf last night
to see the arrival Of Liliuokalani Prince
Kalanianaole left an important political
meeting fraught with great possibilities for
the young ALI, and with his wife hastened
to greet the queen. Present also were Del

A rawhide whip then descends upon his

TO escape. But when his head is wrenched

The horsebreaker has waited for this mo-
ment.
Firm in the Saddle.
With reckless laugh he sets his knees
hard against the great knee pads of the
saddle and waits, his body swaying like a
reed. Suddenly the colt springs into the
air, arching his back as he rises. He comes
down on his forefeet and lashes viciously
out with his hind legs. The breaker sits
like rock, using whip and spur like an
engine and laughing like devil. The colt,
now mad with rage plunges rears swings
round and round, then, finding all his
efforts fruitless, commences to buck in
earnest.

colt, exhausted with his terrible exertions,

CHESTS FOR LINEN
THEIR OLD IMPORTANCE AMONG

Collecting Household Goods Against
Wedding Day-Task That Appeals
to All Women.

From the New York Sun
The linen chest is once more assuming
Importance in american homes. House.
wives have always had their household
linen. but the linen chest as an institution
means more than that. In Europe 1t has
always kept its prestige, but in modern
days the linen of the American bride has
been bought in wholesale fashion at the
same time with the trousseau. Perhans 1t
has been because the modern girl Is less
prone than her great-grandmother was to
consider matrimony and a home of her own
as the great essential things toward which
all girl-life moves.
Hallowed by Tradition.
1t may be that the linen chest was ell

and that higher education rooted out the
old-time feminine taste for boarding fine
linen against a day Of home-making If
all that is true. then the new fad for linen
chests may be a harbinger of a welcome
reaction. The day Of golden feminine

A Fine Antique.
Nothing but a fine antique will do for
some young women, and genuine old chests
whose heavy wood is finely carved and rich

not sold for song. limitation antiques are

enough If one buys them for what they are
and does not pay the price of real antiques
for them.
There are fine old inlaid chests, chiefly
Italian, and one recently imported for the
