ENCAUSTIC PAINTING. T*ie Art Practiced by Ancitmi Greek* and Homan*. The use of paint brushes is of great antiquity. But as late as the fifteenth century it was customary to apply varnish by smearing it on with the fingers or with a bit of sponge, as the varnishes then used were too viscid to flow well with a brush and could be put on more thinly and evenly with the fingers. This practice was used in the earliest times of which there is any record. The Egyptian mummy cases bear evidence of having been varnished in this manner. The use of fresco, or water color paints, though the oldest, was not the only method known to the ancients. The Greeks and Romans especially practiced encaustic painting. Encaustic plaints were made of clarified beeswax. with which, when melted, pigments were mixed. These paints were applied hot with brushes or spatulae, and when cold they were given a glazed surface by holding a torch or a hot iron near them. The hot iron was called the “cauterium.” Another method is said to have been to melt the wax with rosin, and after the pigment was added the compound was allowed to cool to a hard and brittle mass, which would be pulverized. The colored powders made in this way were mixed with water, so that they I could be applied with a brush like ties- ’ co paint, after which they were melt- I ed by the cauterium. If rosins were thus used with the wax. a sort of var- I nish was the result. If the wax was used alone, the finished painting was sometimes varnished. These colored waxes were also used for writing. The red especially was used for royal signatures. whence the use of red sealing wax for a seal. And this “incaustieum,” as it was called in the middle ages, is the origin of our word ink.—Cassler's Magazine.

THE ALBATROSS. Curious and Elaborate Dances In Which it Participates. It is well known that many of the 1 cranes and other long legged wading birds indulge in curious antics that partake closely of the nature of the human dance, but it is not known to many persons that the albatross has the most elaborate and ceremonious dance of them all. Only very few have ever seen the albatross on land; probably nine persons out of ten who have seen the wonder- I ful birds at all have observed them only on the ocean. One of the nesting places of this great winged creature is the island of Laysan, in the Pacific ocean, and there at times the ground is absolutely covered with their nests. It is on Laysan that the albatross dance was first seen by a lucky scientist. The ceremony begins when a lot of the birds are grouped in a circle. Two will advance toward each other, bending and nodding their heads in exact imitation of the human bow. Then they spar 'with their bills, crossing them gently and still making funny little bows. Then one bird will lower its head and stand quite still in that pose, while the other throws its head back till the bill points straight into the air. It puffs out its breast and advances with a queer, fantastic strut, I uttering a curious grunt. The other bird begins to snap its bill till it produces the sound of castanets. So the two will alternate, advancing and retreating and bowing to each other by turns. Sometimes one will pick up a bit of grass or a feather and offer it to the other. Then a second couple will join the dance, and at last as many as forty of the huge birds may be engaged in the queer pastime. Startled the Englishmen. A London paper relates that an enterprising Yankee came over to England and decided to open a shop in Birmingham. He obtained premises next door to a man who also kept a shop of the same description, but was not very pushing in bis business methods. The methods of the Yankee, however. caused the older trader to wake up. and with the spirit of originality strong upon him he affixed a notice over his shop with the words, “Established fifty years." painted in large letters. Next day the Yankee replied to this with a notice over his store to this effect: “Established yesterday. No old stock.” Licorice. Licorice was once highly esteemed • medicinally, and its cultivation in Eng-1 land began early in the reign of Queen I Elizabeth. It was thought a sovereign remedy for coughs and at one time was a very profitable crop. Its name conies from two Greek words signifying “sweet root.” The root was first imported from Spain. The extract of ' licorice is still used in candy and lozen- i ges and, it is said, must be made from ! the dried roots, otherwise it is not so bright and clear in color. The Polite Formula. Little four-year-old Margie was a model of politeness “How is your baby brother this morning. Margie?” asked the doctor when she opened the door in answer to his ring. “Oh. he's dead, thank you!” she replied.—St Paul Pioneer-Press. Knows It All. “Bliggins is very opinionated. He thinks that nobody can teach him anything.” “Well.” answered Miss Cayenne quietly. “I guess he is about right”— Washington Mar. Time never drags, nor does life ever seem monotonous to those who are always working, thinking, learning anil growing.

' WORSHIP. The Custom of Throwing Prayers at an Idol In Japan. Along the saered road of Nikko, in Japan, is an idol about which centers one of the most curious worships in the world. Upon the surface of the statue are seen little pieces of what appears to be dried paper. If you stand by the idol for awhile and wait for a worshiper to come along, you will see what these bits of paper are. The devotee halts in front of the image, then scribbles a prayer on a bit of the paper. The wad he then chews up into a ball and hurls at the god. If it hits the face and sticks, the prayer is sure to be granted, and the pious pilgrim goes away happy. If the ball sticks to some portion of the body, the omen is not quite so propitious, and if it falls to the ground there is absolutely no hope. Such a mode of prayer is even more curious than the praying wheels of the Buddhists, who set the wheel revolving and reel off prayers by machinery. As John L. Stoddard, the lecturer, said: ■‘One sees, of course, numberless strange rites connected with religicu n traveling about the world, but Japan is the only land I have ever visited where deities serve as targets for masticated prayers!” THE BAD RUPEE. Bahram Got Rid of It. but Not the Way He Intended. “There lived in Rampur, India, a vender of sweetmeats named Bahram, whose wife had weak eyes.” said the story teller. “One day this man weut to see a friend at the bazaar, and be left his stall in the woman’s charge. 'Be careful, mind you. about the change.’ he said to her. But nevertheless when he returned home he found that she had taken in a bad rupee piece. He could hardly sleep that night for rage and sorrow. In the morning he arose early, and, determined to get rid of the bad" rupee, he set out through the town. Soon he met a boy. “ ‘Boy,’ be said, 'do you know the sweetmeat shop of All?’ (Ali was a rival vender J ‘Well, take this rupee, go to Ali’i shop and spend a pice for sweetmeats there. The sweetmeats you may keep; I want the change.’ “The boy departed merrily and in a little while returned with his mouth full. “ 'So you got the change without trouble. eh?' said the man as he counted it. ’And did Ali make no examination of the rupee?’ “‘Oh,’ said the boy. ‘I didn’t go as far as All’s. I got the sweetmeats at Bahram's shop.’ ” —London Modern Society.

ROCK FORMATION. In One Sense Stones Do Grow, and In Another They Do Not. Rocks do not grow in the sense that plants do. They may increase in size by means of accretion, and they may also undergo other changes. Old sea beds. lifted up and exposed for ages, become stratified beds of sandstone or limestone; volcanic ashes and lava strewn over hills and plains become tufa, hard enough for building stone, and the pebbly shores of rivers and smaller streams may sometimes change into conglomerates. The simple mineral, however, does grow, especially when it takes upon itself the form of a crystal. A sparkling prism of quartz increases from an atom to monster crystals of varying length and size by what geologists know as a “process of addition and assimilation.” This process is wonderfully slow, but with a mathematical exactness that is a surprise to persons even “well up” in the science of geology. In one sense stones grow; in another they do not. The crystal may become longer and larger, but the bowlder on the roadside will not increase a hairbreadth in length or width in the next 10,000 years.

Mont Horrible of AH Dream*. No words are strong enough to point out the danger of slow poisoning by drugs which are often taken to procure sleep, whether it be an alcoholic nightcap, morphine, opium, chloral or any other. The medical man has recourse with reluctance to these as a last and temporary resort, and only he can tell how many lives are wrecked by the ill timed use of them and their subsequent abuse. Os all horrible dreama none is so awful as those which assail people who habitually use these false comforters. Better than all the drugs in the world for procuring sleep are aimpie food, a regular life and a calm mind. —Cassell’s. It* Hurtful Sedentary Habit. “I think.” said the meditative boy, “that a wasp would be all right if it didn’t get tired.” “Eh?” replied his father. “Wheredid you get that idea?” “Why, one day I got a wasp on my hand, and while he was walking around he was all right He didn’t hurt till he stopped to sit down.”— Philadelphia Press. Hi* Impolite Query.. “Women claim that the way to get on with a man is to give him plenty of i nicely cooked food.” “Well,” answered Mr Sirius Barker Irritably, “why don’t some of them try it?”—Washington Star. Cutting. Miss Cutting — That dog of yours to be remarkably intelligent. Softleigh—Yaws, indeed! I—aw—could not begin to tell you ali he knows. Miss j Cutting—No. of course not—New Yorker. We cannot control the evil tongues of others, but a good life enables ns to despise them.—Cato.

Mrs. Bob Gregory and daughter arrived today from Kendal rille and are the guests of relatives. Miss Helen Gould was recently entertaining one of the girl’s clubs, in which she is interested, at her home on the Hudson. After the girls had walked about the grounds and conservatories for a time, she invited them to wander over the house and see the pictures and objects of art. While they were thus engaged she overheard one of the girls remark, confidingly, to a cornunion “Say, Mamie, even heaven won’t feaze Miss Gould after this place. ’ ’ Going to the World’s Fair?
