COPFERPLATE ENGRAVING.
The Art WAS Discovered Through the
Merest Accident.

Every one has noticed Oh his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines of
his name. and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things of use and beauty,
this art of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident
by the goldsmiths of Florence in the
fifteenth century. 1t is a historical
fact. however, that one day an engrav-
er on gold, wishing to take a proof of
his work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then filled up the lines with lamp
black, thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doing this it occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be OBJ
tanned by filling up the original en-
craving with lampblack instead of
making an impression of it and filling
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
it into practical use. and with a little
damp paper succeeded in getting fair
impression from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art, and they
hailed it with joy, as 1t saved all the
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
Of the discovery, and consequently the
art of plate engraving lay for almost
a century before its true import was
discovered and brought out in all its
great and beautiful results. Today col
lectors of plate engravings rave over
the crude results of earlier times and
search the world for examples of these
early masters to add to their collec-
tons. Many of these collections have
been presented to museums, where
they may be seen and appreciated by

The grange everywhere is in favor of
nature study in the common schools
1t is, however. noteworthy that there
is lack of unanimity in opinion as to
how best accomplish this much desired
end. a helpful suggestion comes from
the New York state educational de-
partment along this line. A syllabus
on agriculture for use in elementary
grades of the public schools has been
issued and no doubt will be furnished
to any one desiring to investigate the
subject.
One obstacle to the introduction Of
the study of agriculture in the common
schools is the unpreparedness of the
teacher for the work Asked If she
can teach it even in its most elemen-
tary branches, she throws up her
hands in despair. But the New York
state educational department approach
es her from another side of the sub
ject and asks her to tell her pupils
about plant growth and something
about fruits and vegetables and the
commonest methods of their culture.
She thus gives her pupils something to
think about and write about, and what
they write is made part of their En-
glish work. They are studying agricul-
ture and the teacher is teaching it-of
course in Its most elementary forms
and yet it is being done as work in
English quite as much as work in ag-
riculture.

The Farmers Union.

There is an organization known as
the Farmers union which is spread
ing very rapidly throughout the central
southwest. However, this organization
is more political in character than is
the grange, though possibly, If the po-
litical feature could be subordinated so
as not to conflict with the principles
laid down in the grange declaration Of
purposes, a union might be effected
between it and the grange There does
not seem to be any good reason for
rival farm organizations, in view OF
the fact thar the grange is attempting
to secure those benefits for the farming
industry which should characterize the
aims and purposes Of any farmers or
ganization, but If the union could be
effected It would materially strengthen
the grange In those states where now

Eating Ants For Dessert.

Savages, we know, indulge in such
luXuries as grubs and locusts, but for a
civilized white man to finish up his
dinner with a dish of raw ants seems
too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
it is the custom-and a custom adopted
by plenty of colonials and visitors. The
ant eaten is called the honey ant and
is perhaps as curious an insect as lives.
With a tiny head and legs, it has a
huge body as big as a large pea, and
this is yellow and swollen with excel
lent honey. In each nest there are 300
or 400 Of these honey ants, which are
attended by thousands Of others. The
honey ants hang on to the roofs of the
cells in the nest while the others feed
them. They are. in fact, living store
houses of winter food An observer
says that if one of the honey ants falls
from his perch worker will go and
pick him up and replace him. This
feat is equivalent to a man walking up
the face of cliff carrying a large buff
falo or cart horse on his back.

A Lover of RiRa.

For many years Lord Gardenstone
was one of the characters of Edn-
burgh and as such received q place
among the famous Rays portraits. He
was represented riding on an old horse
with dog IN front and a boy dressed
in kilt behind. A detailed account
Of the picture states that Kay por-
trayed him as. what he really was, a
very timid horseman, mounted on an
old hack. which he had selected for its
want of spirit, preceded by his favorite
dog Smash and followed 10y highland
boy, whose duty it was to take charge
of the horse on arriving at parliament
house. His eccentricity took the even
stranger form of q strong affection for
pigs. He became so much attached to
one that he allowed it to share his bed,
and when good feeding and rapid
growth made it a rather cumbersome
bedfellow 1t was still lodged in com
Portable quarters in the apartment.
During the daytime it followed him
about like dog. One morning a farm
and, being shown into his bedroo m,
stumbled upon some object. That OBJ
ject gave vent to an incorporating
grunt and squeal of complaint, and
from the bed there proceeded voice,

BOston's Name.

Boston owes its name to a Roman
Catholic saint. Early in the seventh
century a Catholic monk named Bo-
tolph founded q church in what is now
Lincolnshire, England.
AS the years went by a town grew
up around the church and was called
Botolphstown. This was shortened for
convenience into Botolphston. then to
Botoston and finally to Boston. John
Cotton came to America from that
town and named the New England
capital after his native village.
