INGENIOUS PIGMENT MAKERS
They Get coiors From Egyptian Mum
miles, Horse Hoofs and Other
Strange Sources.

The ingenuity Of the makers Of
pigments for the use of artists has
been drawn upon 80 heavily that
the manufacturers have been
obliged to employ for the purpose
all manner Of animal, vegetable and
mineral substances. Even the mum
mics of ancient Egypt have been
utilized by the color makers.
The corpse Of the old Egyptian
was reserved in the finest bitumen,
and the remains thus treated in the
centuries gone present on being un-
wrapped today an appearance quite
like that of light-colored leather.
Now it has been found that when
the bitumen and the leather-like re-
mains are ground down by ma
chinery there may be obtained there
from a beautiful brown pigment es-
pecially priced by artists who paint
portraits. This pigment is particu-
larly effective in depicting certain
shades of brown hair.
Among the other colors obtained
from strange sources may be men
toned Prussian blue. This is made
by fusing the hoofs of horses with
impure potassium carbonate.
Sepia is the dark fluid discharged
by the cuttlefsh to render the wa
ter opaque for its own concealment
when attacked by its enemies.
The cochineal insect furnishes
crimson and purple, lake and car
mine, while ultramarine blue is OBJ
tained from the precious metal
known as lapis lazuli.
Raw sienna is natural earth from
Sienna, and when burned becomes

HOW FOX cor MEAL.

The willy methods of the fox have
been described by resident on the
banks of the Murray river, Austria
LA, who has had occasion to watch
his work lately. The animal, after
walking along the branch of a tree
overhanging the river, dropped qui-
etly into the stream, leaving only its
head above water. A mob of wild
duck swooped down in the vicinity,
and, in curious bent, swan towards
the fox, who snapped up one, and
with it swan to the other side Of
the stream.

HOUSEHOLD REPAIRS
MANY BlTs or WORK womAN
DAN 90 AT roME.



There arc many small bits Of re-
pairing that a woman may do among
her household goods when she wishes
20 freshen home for the winter Up
holstery is by no means dificult, save
where ''tufting' is wished: covering
desks requires care rather than prac-
tice, and the veriest tyro can patch
mahogany veneer II she will but work
heedfully.
Upholstered chairs and even sofas
that have wooden frames need have
no terror for her who would recover
them. II the old cover 10 removed
20 that IL is not torn 1t becomes a
perfect pattern from which the new
may be cut. One must remember,
with the new, that the thread shall
run the right way, and always In a
straight line, and when necessary to
piece It, the pattern, II there 10 one,
must be made to match perfectly.
Stitching TO be firm enough to wear
well is to be done on a machine, and
the seam heavily and smoothly
pressed open. II is always better to
use wide material, when the stun is
equally satisfactory in effect, for then
an amateur obviates many seams and
consequent extra labor.
II the material Is such that the
edge will not turn under neatly and
smoothly gimp may be made to cover
a multitude OF sins in that direction
and there will be no difficulty in put
ting In brass-headed tacks evenly II
a tape measure is pinned along the
edge and the tacks put at regular in
tervals. II new springs or actual re-
pairing of the inner structure of
chair is needed this must be done by
a professional, but the furniture may
then be returned for the owner to
put on the covering.
Cloth or velvet to be put without
wrinkles on fiat-top desks may be ap-
preached without fear. The desk sur
face is first to be made smooth. The
old cover Is torn of and the wood
scraped and rubbed with coarse sand
paper until none of the old stun re-
mains. Then the wood Is washed
scrubbed, II necessary. The object
OF all this is to have a clean and
clear surface, without which the new
cover will not be a success.
The dampness thus put into the
wood serves TO make the coat Of
glue, which is next put on, penetrate
deeper. The glue must be as stiff
as will spread, otherwise II would
soak through the material, stiffening
II. Yet this consistency would be too
dry to adhere properly to the wood
we're it not that the dampness aids.
A fiat brush Is used for putting on
the glue, and one-half Of the wood
surface is smoothly painted. The
material then is put over, rubbing It
down smoothly with a fat piece of
board, which will press out all
wrinkles. An amateur will then do
better to fold back the rest of the
material and wait until that which is
pressed down has dried in place. This
will take three or four hours. Then
the other half Of the desk top is paint
ed with glue and the material pulled
and stretched over, cutting II finally
with a sharp knife, not with scissors.

Care Of Puppies.

If you have a puppy you know how
impossible il is for the little fellow to
drink without stepping on the dish,

the cone, and this cannot be tipped
