The Word Silhouette.

The little black pictures called ''sil-
houettes" derive their name from Ell
enne de Silhouette. who was the
French minister of finance in 1859
His extreme economy in matters Of
finance was caricatured by all classes.
and any cheap mode or fashion was
sarcasticnlly called by his name
About that time these profiles were
produced by casting the shadow of a
face on the paper by the light of a
candle and tracing about it. Because
they were cheap they were called in
ridicule at the minister "silhouettes,"
and the name has ever since been re.
tained.-BostOn Globe.
