Oil Crayons.

Recently at Paris NJ. Raffaelli, in a
lecture, showed that his newly in
vented oilpaint crayons are superior to
the palette, oiltube and brush. Il
have always been struck, and almost
irritated," he said, ''at the incon-
veniences and complications which
arise in the practice of oil painting.
AS long as an artist paints in his
studio these inconvenience are not so
numerous. The painter has his
brushes, his oil colors, his palettes, his
eraser and all the utensils necessary
for his work. When the prepared
colors begin to run on account of the
oil with which they are mixed the
palette can be wiped, the brushes and
the painter is accustomed to do this

time, but this is all. When, however,
you paint landscape or make por-
trait at the sitter's house or in the
tails break the utility of your thought,
sc that you have to reconstitute your
original conception, and the Interrupt
ton generally becomes perceptible in
the finished work. The pastel has
not this inconvenience, but it has a
much greater one; the color falls off
and loses in tone. Even if you put a
glass over it, it rarely, after a time,
retains its original beauty and luster

The Electric Telepher.

The electric telepher has been the
first practical solution of the baggage
smashing" problem, and seems to be
satisfactory. This telepher is in
fact nothing but an open trolley car
suspended from an overhead track
upon which the trunks can be loaded,
and from which they can be taken
without difficulty or tossing. The
telepher floor can be raised to the
level of the car floor, and when one
row of trunks has been loaded upon
il the telepher can be lowered to
permit another row or rows to be
placed upon it, conditions being re
versed when the telephers are to be
unloaded. The telephers can de-
liver the baggage to chutes at either
end or side of the station platform
with a minimum amount of delay. Any
number of baggage cars may be un-
loaded or loaded at time with num-
Der of telephers. The sides of the
telepher hinge downward, so they can
be used as platform upon which the
baggage can be moved between the
cars and the trucks. The system has
proved to be such a success that it is
only a matter of time when it should
be used in all of the great railway
stations, and with the extensive sup
ply of electricity there is no reason
why it should not be applied at all
stations of any size.

THE TRAILING ARHuTUs.

Divinely fair, thy waxen cup
From sodden forest leaves looks IN.
Pure as an infants dimpled face
And with an infants fragile grace,
Thy goblets. fit for fairy wine,
with rosy sunlight seem to shine:
And to my waiting heart they bring
Assurance of the present spring.
From dripping mold and persisted
leaves
Mysterious life thy beauty weaves.
And sets thee on the woodland slope
To give the winter-weary, hope.
What is thy wondrous alchemy
Transmitting clay to roseate dye,
Which finds in every wind that blows
A perfume sweeter than the rose?
would that could learn such skill
To mold existence to my will;
To take some tint of heavenly sky
From common life where dead hopes
lie;
And gain from sorrows frosty wings
The fragrance of diviner things.
How can | live life like thine?
Fill up my soul with life's best wine,
Walk stainless through the foulest
way,
And keep Hopes light, though dark
the day?
| know not. But thy tender grace
In memory shall keep its place,
And DER winffy thoughts shall bring
A brightness like the glow or spring.

Not long after his return to China,
Pi Cooke, or, Liang Shung, as he was
then called, was appointed interpreter
at the legation in Washington, under
Minister Chang Yen Hoon, the martyr
of the boxer movement. AT the close
of the Chino-J Japanese war. L'a2g
Shung, or, as he may have been
named then, Chentung Liang Cheng,
was one of the secretaries who carried
on the peace negotiations and drew
up the treaty. He was a member
of the special embassy sent by the
dowager empress to congratulate
Queen Victoria at the time of her
diamond jubilee. But it was as Sec
rotary and confidential adviser to
Prince Chun, upon the famous ex-
piatory mission to Berlin after the as
sassination of Baron Won Ketteler,
that Sir Liang's ceverness and tact
brought him to the notice of the dow
ager empress. By his advice Prince
Chun preserved a dignified attitude
which resulted in the discontinue of
Germany Another honor that is
highly regarded in China is Sir Lang's
position as tutor of Prince Chen, re-
puted the brightest member of the i'm
perial family. Sir Liang Cheng has
been favorite of the dowager en-
press, and to that, as well as his ex-
perience as secretary to Ii Hung
Chang, Prince Chun and Prince Chen,
his appointment as minister to the
United States is ascribed.
A Washington writer says that he is
favorably remembered in Washington,
where he was a number of years ago
official interpreter at the Chinese
legation. Since that time, however,
he has developed from the rather
slender but jovial young celestial to
6ignified and solidly built diplomat of
SO. He has created an excellent i'm
preston in London, where as secretary
to the imperial Prince Chun, special
envoy to the coronation from the Chi
nese court, he spent several weeks.
Sir Liang Cheng is very fond Of So
ciety, and it is predicted that he will
participate even more in the social
events of the capital than his predeces-
sor. AS his wife has recently died,
the wife of the first secretary of the
legation will be the hostess of the le-
CATION. Whether he will be as popu-
lar as that dispenser of Chinese wit
and wisdom, WI Ting-fang, our candid
friend and critic, and for several years
enc of the most interesting figures in
Washington life, remains to be seen.
While Sir Liang Cheng is likely to
be a good and capable representative
of the great oriental empire, he is not
apt to attract attention because of his

sor, WI Ting-fang, for his training has
made him too thoroughly acquainted
with American life, and Minister Wus
Unsuitable curiosity will be lacking
Sir LANG Cheng is a man of presence
and character. He is more than six
feet tall, and has an intelligent and
expressive face, as is shown by the
accompanying portrait, but any China
man that can curve a baseball, as Sir
LANG Cheng is reputed to be able to,
can hardly be regarded as wholly or

trapper of the old regime. once told
me he had watched a lion stalking a
bull elk. 1t was a Teton mountain
cougar of tie big variety. 1t went
from cover in headlong rush, but
missed its neck stroke as the bull
lunged ahead, catching him at the
point of the shoulder and going under
his belly. Both animals were bowled
over in mixup of hair, hoofs, claws
and horns. In a brief struggle, as
they rolled over together, the cougar
was thrown into the air as if hoisted
by a spring trap, by a convulsive kick
from the bulls hind leg. The mad
dened elk gained it's legs and chased
its enemy off the field. An unlocked

The cougar does not leap upon its
big game nor drop upon it out of tree
tops. but sneaks close or lies in wait
upon the level, and goes from cover
in a straight rush like Tie tiger or the
hunting leopard. 1t endeavors to
seize upon the lower throat or shout
der with its teeth, and to twist tho
quarrys head against this purchase"
in its powerful forearms until the
neck is broken. Failing in this at
tempt, yet making good its catch-hold,
the cougar will, to put it modernly,
go in and finish in any old style. 1t
will usually finish once tooth and
claw are engaged, but sometimes it
fails and even gets the worst of an
encounter.

Midsummer brings us the most lus-
csous of native fruits; among these we
have plums, ranking next to the peach
as general favorites, although Ameri-
cans do not esteem this fruit as high
~ as our English neighbor, from
whom we may obtain a great many
delicious ways of serving them other
than au naturel, or preserved.
When the plum is to be eaten UNI
cooked it should be fully ripe and in
the most perfect condition. For can
ming and preserving and also for jelly
making the plums should not be fully
ripe: in fact, for jelly they should
be only just turned.
Compete of PIums.
Put three-quarters of a cup of sugar
in a saucepan with two cups of water
and boil five minutes; skim well; then
put in one and one-half pounds Of

skins of the plums to break. When
| they are done let them cool in the
syrup, then put them in a glass dish
and pour the syrup over them.
