Materials the Painter Uses and His
Methods of Work.
Chinese painting is very frequently
described as cal!igraphic-that is to
say. closely allied to or derived from
handwriting. InaSmuch as Chinese
handwriting is brush work Of high
order. it follows that every Chinese
who can write well has the making OF
skilled mechanical artist in black
and white. He has Il fine delicacy and
flexbiity of touch. so that, if he pos
sesses any bent for transferring tc pa.

LAYING THE TABLECL0TH..
II Was Almost Work of Art In the
Sixteenth Century.

It Was Almost a Work of Art In the
Sixteenth Century.
In the twelfth century tablecloths
were very large and were always laid
on the table double. For long time
they were called "doubliers" for that
reason. The cloth was first placed so
as to touch the floor on the side at
which the guests sat; then all that re-
mained was folded so that it just COW
cred the table.
Charles V. had sixty-seven table
cloths which were from fifteen to twen-
ty yards long and two yards wide. He
had one cloth thirty-two yards long,
which had the arms Of France en-
broidered on it in silk. All these were
fringed.
In the sixteenth century ''doubliers"
were replaced by two tablecloths, one
of which was small and was laid just
rs we lay ours today. The other, which
was put on over it. was large and of
beautifully figured linen. 1t was skill
fully folded in such way that. as one
chnnicer tells, lit resembled a wind
ing river. gently ruined py httlo
breeze. for among very many little
folds were here and there great bub-
bles."
II must have required much art and
care to make dishes. plates. saltcel-
lars. sauce dishes and glasses stand
steadily in the midst Of this undulat-
ing sea and among those bubbles
and puffy folds. However. the fashlon
had only short existence. and toward
the latter part of the century single
cloth laid fat and touching the floor on
all sides Of the table came into general
use.-New York Tribune.

The North American Indian usually
