Carriers.

There are certain strange super
stitions connected with carriers.
Some people consider that present
of an old garter is good omen. A
bride should always wear a blue silk
garter at her wedding. The wearing
of the garter does not end the ritual
concerning it. After the wedding
ceremony it must be either cut into
pieces or hidden. yellow carriers
are generally considered to be lucky

Her Opinion of Boys.

a little girl wrote the follow
ing essay on boys: "Boys are
men that have not got as big as
their papas, and girls are women
that will be ladies by and by.
When God looked at Adam he
said to himself, We'll, | think |
can do better if | try again. and
he made Eve. BOYS are trOu-
bic. They wear ont everything

was made, and on the seventh
day he rested. Women was then
made. and he has never rested

POWER OF ONE WORD.
Old Bismarck Said "NeIn" and Nego-
tiations Were Off.

l like to think of old Bismarck as
he sat by the window that opens on
the windy park of Friedrlchsruh, in an
old gray shooting jacket, a rug over
his knees, a pipe in his hand-simple
as a North German farmer, this man
who had almost held Europe in fee.
A little while before this February
day he had been deposed from power.
All the world knew that the old lion
was sulking in his den In no amiable
mood toward the young Emperor woo
had turned him out Of doors. 1t was
known that his memoirs were writ
ten and that his correspondence was
set in order. A New York publisher
though he might secure the papers in
which Bismarck had told the real
story of the birth of the German en-
pire-that strange story Of craft and
heroism, littleness and grandeur. 1t
was on this mission that | sailed for
Hamburg. l had two letters for Bis
marck. One was from a negligible
ambassador. The other had been given
me by a German statesman of some
note, with whom, in other days, l had
been student in the University of
Jena. My friend had been a familiar
of Bismarck's household and bespoke
me kindly hearing. l sent the let
tiers on from Hamburg and followed
the next day.
On the table at his elbow, as he sat
by the window, | noticed my letters.
The valet who had placed chair for
me took his stand by the door. said
what had to say, 1t was (permit me
to affirm IT'D an admirable speech.
For 10 days and nights had rehearsed
it as l paced tine deck of the stormy
liner; so-in tolerable German-I de-
claimed it. 1t was dignifed; it was
diplomatic.
When | had finished, Bismarck took
pipe from his lips, said 'Nein"-and
put the pipe back again.
Twas the shortest answer | ever
had in my life. l waited for mo-.
ment. The old man smoked and stared
out into the park. got up and bowed;
| had rehearsed that bow and did not
intend to waste it; bowed to his old
hairless head-the flabby yellow jowls
and big mustache-to the old gray
jacket and the pipe. 1t was like
salaaming to a stone wall. Then the
valet led me out. In the park | re-
gained my senses.-Vance Thompson

almost entirely by the use Of sand
paper and to make one understand
how tedious was the undertaking it IL
only necessary to say that the panel
was nearly an inch thick.
Months of effort brought the operas
tor near to the paint and the most
scrupulous care had then to be exer-
cised. AS the wood was reduced
the polishing away process became
slower. Finally only the thinnest pos
sible sheet of wood, thinner even than
the paint adhering to its under side,
remained.
Here came the crucial test A too
vigorous rub, slip of the hand,
failure to perceive instantly the first
appearance of the paint and coating,
might have proved fatal to the waltz
able masterpiece which it was desired
to preserve. But care, patience, keen
eyesight and steady nerve won the
day, and the last vestige of wood was
resolved into powder, leaving only a
thin layer of paint lying in a bed of
tissue paper
To have attempted to lift the tissue
matrix would probably have been fatal
to the painting. 1t was therefore nee
essary to secure it to a firm surface
before it could be moved. After smear
ing it carefully with some adhesive
substance, the operator laid on back
ing of heavy stiff linen canvas, and the
picture, matriX and ALL was placed
away to dry in room kept at an even
temperature. This drying process took
long time
When it was regarded as safe to
move the painting, it was again turned
over, the canvas backing being under
meath. The removal of the tissue pap
er was then begun, an easy task until
the small slips adhering to the surface
of the painting werereached. The parts
of these slips not pasted to the paint
were removed without difficulty, but
it was long and tedious operation, re-
curing patience and a gentle touch,
to take away the rest.
The painting was found to be un-
harmed by the operation to which it
had been subjected. The colors had
been preserved and there was no rub
bling away or soaring of the paint A
coat of varnish was then applied, and
when this was thoroughly dried the

As we sit in she freight slgleaming,
The sprite in the baekloglbrings dream

And we close our eyes to the dancing

Our souls with the thoughts of days

For under the frost there is breathing,
And in the dead branches is wreathing

IeISSIluS olOlJ'
Over the painted surface were placed
hundreds of tiny slips of the thinnest
tissue paper, these being held to the
paint by a watery paste with just
enough adhesive power to make the
tissue stick. The slips of the first
LAYER of tissue were pressed down and
worked so as to conform correctly
to what may be called the paint
wrinkles, for Botticelli knew the art
of making his pigment stand out In
relief ridges to accentuate certain
lines. More slips Of paper, hundreds
of them, we're pasted over the first
layer, and the fingers and thumbs of
the operator nodded them into and
over the reliefs and the depressions
which the foundation slips had fol-
lowed. Then more slips, then larger
sheets of the tissue, great thickness
of them, each carefully placed, pasted
and worked over. This done, the panel
was lifted, reversed and the matrix of
tissue placed upon prepared founda-
ton of more sheets of the same thin
material.
The really important and delicate
work was now begun. This was the
removal of the wood from the sheet
Of paint. The operation was performed

A WOMAN ON THE TRAIL.

My husband was always fisherman
and hunter, and, like other outdoor
men, never knows when to come home;
SO that despite my erltreaties and
'sfussing," as he called it, he was al
ways coming in long after dark. Usu-
ally he arrived with a basket of fish or
! aelot of birds about the time supper was
half over.
I used to waste a great deal of breath
trying to convince him of the error of
his ways, but it did no good and usual
ly ended in his describing In his own
fluent and convincing way the beauties
of the woods In general and the Joys Of
that one day in particular. He usually

time" SO at last did go along; and I

first trips. thought there was a bug
under every leaf, snake in every hole,
and thousand and one horrible things

and low shoes, and was as unconlforta-
BILE as it was possible for woman to
be. My skirt caught on every little
brier and bush, my face was red with
sun-burn and once annexed eight
freckles, five of which were on my nose.
