Mos Popular of Pictures.

The best known picture in the world,
it has been said, is Vandyke's portrait
Of James II. Of England as an infant,
popularity known as Baby Stuart. Two
million copies of it are said to be in
American homes, and it is equally
popular in England and continental Eu-
rope. This is not because it is a por-
trait of child who became king, but
because it is a mastery piece of in
FAINT portraiture. The plump, round
cheeks and tiny nose, surmounted by
a tight fitting cap, appeal to every lov-
err Of children. The figure with which
the world is familiar is the central one
in group Of the eldest three children
of Charles l. painted in 1886, when
the baby, afterward known as the
Duke of York, was only two years old
and barely able to stand alone.-Y Youths

How Tea Lead Is Made,

Tea lead for lining tea chests is SUI
perior at least from the standpoint Of
cheapness to any other metal. Accord.
ing to an article in the Brass World,
the method practiced by the Chinese in
the manufacture Of tea lead is to press
molten lead between two fat stones.
The excess Of lead is melted in an iron
kettle by direct fire underneath. Rice
paper is carefully smoothed down over
the surface of the stones to supply a
nonconductor Of heat and thus pre-
vent the chilling of the lead. The
stones are now placed fiat upon the
ground and the upper one raised a
short distance, with one edge resting
upon the lower stone. In other words,
the stones are opened like a book. A
ladle full Of melted lead is now poured
in between the stones, and the top one
is quickly dropped. The lead is squeez-
ed out until only thin layer is left.
Tea lead usually runs from .OO5 to 10
inch in thickness.

An Untamed Marr1i,ie

The father Of the Marquis Of Butte
had an amusing experience in the
neighborhood Of Rothesay. He met a
cockney traveller who asked to be d.
rected to a certain place. Deceived
by the marquis accent, the visitor took
him for southron and took occasion
to make supercilious remarks about
the barbarous islanders Of Butte. He
said, "Blime me, 1 suppose you're like
me, an Englishman?
NO." responded the marquis; :'I"m a
native of Butte, this island"
"Good gracious!" exclaimed the Lon
doner, in amazement. '"Then who in
the dooce tanned yer?"
Lord Butte assumed a fierce express
sion and, raising a ponderous cudgel
he was carrying, said angrily, "Who
says I'm tame?' The alarmed cock
ney turned and fed.-Pall Mall Gazette

MURDERED BODY FOUND.

Dug Up In Rowland Monday
Supposed TO be Body Of q Ne
gro Murdered Three Weeks
a0O-Three Negroes Arrested
on the Charge of Committing
the Crime and Lodged I'm Jail
Here.
The dead body of a negro was
discovered buried in a field with
in the corporate. limits of Row.
land Monday, and as a result of
that discovery three negroes
June Mccoy, Frank Jacobs and
Berry McLean-were lodged in
Jail here yesterday. They were
arrested in Rowland Monday
evening by Deputy Sheriff ]. B.
Mcleod and Policeman Robt.
Blake, of Rowland.
AS far as can be learned the
facts of the case are as follows:
Some three weeks a strange
negro who gave his name as
Alex. Mccoy went to Rowland
and he sported on his coat a but
ton or badge which excited some
suspicion on the part of some Of
the negroes of the town. One
night shortly after the advent Of
this negro, June Mccoy. while
under the influence Of liquor. Was
seen With a brick in his hand
and two or three bricks in his
pockets and was heard making
threats to the. effect that if he
found the stranger he would fix
him. Ona the morning following
this some blood was observed on
the sidewalk in front of a colored
mans store. Mccoy and the
other two negroes were arrested
and hauled before the mayor, but
there was no evidence against
them for anything except caus-
ing some disturbance, and they
we're released upon the payment
of fines of five or ten dollars.
The strange negro was not seen
after the night when Mccoy
made his threats, but it was not
known that he had been killed
until his body was discovered
Monday. On that day a son OF
Mr.. John Leach noticed soms
fresh earth turned on bis ia
theirs land within the town lin
it's and be and others went tC
work to find out what had beer
buried there. As soon as the
body was discovered the negroes
we're arrested again. Their,
we're evidences of the negro hav-
ing been beaten to death with
bricks or rocks.
