A DAINTY OPERATION.
Transferring a Valuable Painting
From Wood to Canvas.
From the Argonaut.

From the Argonaut.
A Madonna" by BotticelH, owned by
Secretary Hay and valued at $4,000, has
been saved by a most delicate operation.
The painting was on a wooden panel an
Inch thick, and owing to its age dhe
painting is about 400 years old the wood
began to crack, the assures threatening
to extend to the paint itself and ruin the
picture. 1t was decided to have the
paint transferred from the wood to can
vas, and the work was intrusted to
New York expert, who put in a year at
his task 1t being manifestly impossible
to remove the paint from the wood, the
only thing to be done was to remove the
wood from the paint. The first move In
this process was to smear the surface
of the painting with a thin, slightly adj
hesive substance, over which were pasted
tiny bits of the thinnest tissue paper
carefully made to follow the slight ridges
and bumps in the paint. Then layer
after layer of paper was added in the
same way until a thick matrix was form
ed. Then the really delicate work began
that of removing the wood from the
back of the paint. This was done almost
entirely with sandpaper. The closer the

only a thin layer of paint lying on bed

Prices of Japanese "HeIp."

From the New York Sun,
Japanese cooks are demanding from $40
to $50 a month, and those of special skill
get a good deal more. A yacht cook ex-
poets at least $75 a month, and when the
yachting season opens they will be hard
to find even at that price.
The only Japanese coachman in town
gets $50 a month. You may still have a
general homework Japanese who will do
everything for a small family but wash
at from sS5 to $40 a month. If the family
is larger than three or four, the Japanese
general homework man will have none

eruptions break through and continue until
the riotous, feverish blood has been restored

At this season the system should have
thorough cleansing, the blood purified and
all the bodily organs toned up and strength
ened, or you may look out for return of
your old skin trouble later on, for as long as
a remnant of the disease remains in the
blood it is liable to come back. The use of
lotions, powders, soaps and salves in diseases
of the skin do but little good for the blood
and not the skin is the real seat of the trouble.
1t is internal, not external. The humor or
poison in the blood is the cause of the erup-
ton, and blood purifier and not lotions or
salves is required in the treatment of these
skin diseases. Face powders and cosmetics
of various kinds cover up for the time being
the ugly blenlishes, blackheads and pimples
and glaze over the rough red skin, but the

Work Day and Night.

I'VE work night and day here-prepar-

In that way we have the pies fresher for
delivery than if we let them stand a full
twenty-four hours.
There are several big bakeries In
Washington now that do nothing but bake
pies The average daily output of the
four of them is between 10000 and 10000,

sumed in Washington. And of course,
that doesn't count restaurants and pri-
vate houses that do their own cooking.

Not quite half of them are women.
The men do the heavy work and the wo-

them about three months TO learn the
trade.
Making good pie is as much of sell
ence as making good beef extract. The
same accurate adjustment of the divi-

This is how apple pies are made IN the

From the washington rimes.

From the Washington Times
Pie is not going out of fashion in Wash
ington. If the statistics of bakeries prove
anything There is one factory in Wash
ington that sometimes turns out ten
thousand pies In a single day.
And there Is no reason why pie should
be tabooed. according to these same hak-
ers. Apple is good food IL properly made,
but a poor food If poorly made" said one
of the bakers who Is a member of a firm
which charges more for Its pies than al
most any bakery in the country and which
bakes nothing else.
In the first place, you have to be
clean" A glance through the factory
shows new and well-scoured wooden tubs,
with a small swimming bath for pie plates
as the most prominent feature.
In the second place, you have to get the
best ingredients"
The apples for the apple pies were big
rosy pippins, which must have brought
we'll about the average in open market
The apples for mnce pies were not nearly
SO good, being rotten in spots. The milk
was thick and the cream proved on testing
to be delicious, foamy on top, cool and
rich. The eggs were entirely fresh.
In the third place, you have to get the
proper receipts But that is our trade
secret We think they are right and
aren't looking for others. It's all in the
combination of the spices. l can't tell
you about that though.
Apple pies are the most popular the
year round. For example, here is a
typical days order: Apple. GOO; mince
800; lemon cream, 200. The rest are all
below dwindng down to a few dozens
In lent the consumption of mince is away
down, because of the meat in It, Christ
mas, Thanksgiving, and New Year it is
correspondingly up, though.
