The slab upon which the mosaic is
made is generally of travertine or d.
burtine stones connected together by
iron clamps Upon the surface Of this
a mastic or cementing paste ia gradu-
ally spread as the progress Of the work
requires it, which forms the adhesive
ground or bed upon which the mosaic
Is laid. The mastic is composed of fine
lime from burnt marble and finely
powdered travertine stone mixed to the
consistence Of paste with linseed oil.
Into this paste are fixed the "smalts''
Of which the mosaic picture is formed.
They are a mixed species Of opaque
vitri1ed glass, partaking Of the nature
Of stone and glass and composed Of q
variety of minerals and materials, col
ored for the most part with different
metallic oxides. OF these no fewer
than LOO different shades are in use.
They are manufactured in Rome in the
form Of long, slender rods, like wires
of various degrees of thickness, and are
cut into pieces of the requisite sizes,
from the smallest pin point to an inch
When the picture is completely finished
and the cement thoroughly dried ii is
highly polished.-Chambers Journal.

Tn. Ores. of the Hishland.r..

The highland dress, without a RI
val in picturesqueness, unique In it's
longevity and remarkable for the man
ner In which it has been employed to
distinguish the different families or
clans of one race, appears to be sur
vival of the ordinary Roman dress and
a relic of Caesars invasion Of Britain
From the time when 1t was first adopt
ed and while fashion has been busy
with changes in other parts Of the
world the costume seems to have I'M
dergone little modification. That this
dress should have been selected and
adhered to as the national garb is due
to its undeniable utility. Wrapped in
his plaid, the highlander was indiffer-
emit alike to soaking mist and violent
storm; he was prepared to pass the
night in defiance of the most inclement
weather, while the loose undergarment
would have been difficult to improve
upon when wading mountain torrents
or climbing the steep sides Of ravine
and glen.

THE RED SQUIRREL.
He Stores Very Little Food For Us
In

He Stores Very Little Food For Use
In Winter.
In Maine-in fact, all over New Eng
land-red squirrels do not put by great
boards of any kind for winter use.
When Maine red squirrel has filed
itself with acorns and beechnuts it
will hide a few here and hereunder
rifted trees and among stone heaps.
An average red squirrel, having the
run of an oak grove in the fall of the
year, may in the course of two weeks
hide away from two to four quarts of
acorns, though they will be in perhaps
twenty different places, and in no in
stance which we have noted has any
nut been shelled.
The squirrel which plans a hoard of
nuts and makes deliberate preparations
for winter is the little chipmunk, or
striped squirrel, which seeks winter
quarters soon after heavy frosts and
which remains in hiding all winter.
The chipmunks often hide as many as
two quarts of shelled beechnuts In one
place. Their storehouses are, as a rule,
under the ground, in sloping and sandy
soil, the burrows having been dug with
true engineering skill, so that no fresh
ct can drown them out.
1t is believed that most observing
woodsmen will say that the red SOUR
fels Of this vicinity seldom make large
caches of provisions for winter con-
sumption and never shell the stored
nuts In fact, the red species have no
need to pay much heed to such matters,
as they are abroad and active in the
coolest days of winter as much as they
are In midsummer, SO precautions for
food are not demanded. AS the red
squirrels subsist for good part of the
year upon the cones of pines and
spruces, which hang to the limbs, they
do not care how deep or hard the snow
may be, feeling secure in finding all
the food they want among the tree
tops.-Bangor News.

A certain Russian nobleman visiting
Paris was noticed to be constantly
plunged in deep sadness. He wore on
his finger very remarkable ring, large
enough for a bracelet, and which ex-
tended over his hand like buckler for
the ring finger. 1t was of a greenish
color and was traversed by red veins.
A lady, meeting him In public, ven-
tured to say:

quainted with q celebrated chemist,

solid substance which l could carry

sent for me and showed me the empty
coffin amid a horrid collection Of in
struments and alembics. The jewel
was lying upon the table. He had
through means of some corrosive sub
stance reduced and compressed that
which was my wife into this jewel,
which shall never more leave me-"

Leaning far out, he seized the other
struggling animal by the bits with his
left hand and pulled with all his
strength. The hoofs Of the frantic
horse struck fire from the embank-
ment edge. For an instant the whole
outfit trembled toward destruction, but
the pull to the right never slackened,
the nigh horse secured a foothold at
last, and the danger was over.
How did you ever think so quick

element had died down a little and
the rein was being mended.

who insisted on changing seats with
Gormley, and that brought Gormley
into place beside Miss Gerrish. The
engagement was announced next day,
all as result of the ride home after
the dance.
The betrothal kiss, given when the
waning moon was smothered by q
cloud, was doubIy sweet to Gormley,

Even when ones affianced has the
reputation of being, besides fairly rich
and more than passably handsome, the
most whimsically irresponsible prac-

At least Carol Merrifield 80 expected,
but she was disappointed, and that
started the trouble.
Hunter Johnston was in love with
Carol, thoroughly so, but the practical
joking instinct is like conscience and q
taste for olives-hard to forget when
once acquired. A brilliant idea in the
testing line came to Johnston the morn

he Immediately set about giving 1t to

was man of taste and refinement and
liked his employees to observe the

America can show many geograph-
ical names taken from novels. Califor-
MIA comes from the name of a fairy
Kingdom In Spanish romance of the
early sixteenth century. The Antilles
take their name from AntiRlia. an i'm
aginary island figuring in Italian leg
ends connected with the wanderings
OF St Brendan, and marked In the latt-
tude Of the Sargasso sea on Catalan
and Genoese Portulani of the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries. Mont
real Is by some said to take its name
from legendary castle mentioned in
French romances of very early date.
The island Of Barataria, lineally de-
scended from Sancho Panza's mag
mary governorship, also figures on the
maps Of Louisiana, while it is a moot
question whether the strait of Juan de
Fuca does not take Its name from a
historical geographical romance, q Ia
Rider Haggard, devised by a Greek
sailor of Queen Elizabeth's day for
the benefit of her majesty's resident at
Venice and his own pocket. Il Brazil"
Is found in early Irish legend as an
island in the Atlantic, and it is a moot
question whether the empire of Brazil
derives it's name from this creation of
the Celtic fancy or from wood from
which dye resembling in color burn
ing cinders was made.

The greater part of the courage that
is needed In the world Is not Of he
roic kind. Courage may be displayed
in everyday life as well as in historic
fields Of action. There needs, for ex-

the courage to speak the truth, the
courage to be what we really are and
not to pretend to be what we are not,
the courage to live honestly within cur

A young minister settled over a small

to charge the bill for rental to the sec
