out. Some of the Ilri‘tt'.‘\s‘\‘ employed
are PICIIlIlII' to these nmnutiictuu-rs, and
the upper story, \\ Illl ll is the “studio,"
or workshop. is cilia-Hilly guarded against
intrusion. The doors are kept locked.
nnd no one c\cept tho~e employed in the
c~tubliduu~ut is allowed to enter. A
I'l‘lilt‘\t‘lllflll\t' of the Vail .rml Iii-frets,
liowcia r, obtained admission, witncsscd
the methods of Illdllllfdt‘lllls', and saw
:thc pictures glow to t‘uliipleliuti uudrr
‘the hunds of the busy “artists." The
first step in the production of the brill~
inn! landscape in II guilt future which is
to be the subwct of the auctioneer or the
picture ‘peddler is tlu prepiu'ntiou of the
cuuvuss. This is dom- by tuciina of a
machine which nulls ,‘I long strip of col~
ton cloth with n m \turc of glue and
whiting and giu's’ i: sum-thing of the
firmness und .rp; mm: «c ofciinviis. The
cloth is then Illtlli‘il.‘lil_\' dried and is
then rcndy for the stretcher or inner
Kftnme. 'Ialt‘fll‘rli‘ltt'h‘ are produced by
inn ingenious m whine which shapes,
joint-sand fastens them with great ra-
pidity, And by it third machine, which is
tcndui by it small boy of artistic pro-
clivitius, the cloth is quickly fastened
upon the stretcher and made ready for
the coming lnndwnpe. Next comes the
work of the “studio.” There one findso
line of girls, their dresses slashed with
point, and their general appearance, in
other respects, lllllIt‘ in contrast with the
young women at the Art Students
.cugue or the ideal woman artist in o
well appointed studio. 0n the walla,

rious puttcrns '- the

known as ‘l heorem painting, and also as
I‘oounh, or Illlt‘llllli pointing. Iiy the
use of it kind of stencil the outlines are
one after another put upon the cloth, and
the picture then pits‘cs into the hands of
c more ndvutu ed painter for completion.
A few skilful touches with her brush
‘sup
of t o stencil, and after ii plentiful cu
ply of varnish, and it suitable expmure in
the drying-room. the picture is ready for
market. The frames are made: by
machinery in the story below the
1 “studio.“ They ate muvh thinner than
, they spponr to be, but, although so un~
substantial, are quite ornamental in de-
sigu, and after being cm cred with a
l'QCIIll ic preparation known to the tunic
no “ utch metal.“ or “Dutch gilt,“
which closely resembles gold loaf, but
has not a particle of gold in its composi~
lion, they nre dazzling enough to
sulisfv the most exacting purchaser. So
it will be seen that in these “genuine Oil
paintings“ the oil which i~ tislwi is about
, the only thing to justiiy the term. Little
» else is genuine. The cnnvus is cotton
cloth, smeared with glue and whiting;
the frame, amwreutly sosulwtsntial, is s
mere shell, nnd the. shining..- gildiu ' has
no gold about it, The result of a I this
cheap artistic labor is that these “genuine
, ail lmintings,“ measuring 23x36 inches,
, lllt‘l‘olllldt‘l with glittering gilt frames
_ sud boxed for shipment, are sold at, from
$15 to $50 It dozen.
When the auction sales of these pic-
: lures by gnslight are held during tho
. Icy, as was the case in New York a few
. years since, and is still the custom in the
l smaller cities, the pictures are hum: upon
, the mills ofu room, which is lighted by
, rows of gas jets so as to show this tawdry
, canvnscs to the best advantage. As each
‘ picture is reached in the catalogue, it. is
laced on ts brilliantly lighted eiISt‘I, and
l he glib-tongued auctioneer expntintes
2 upon its value and points out its many
beauties. By means of by‘biddcrs the
rice is sometimes run up to a high figure.
’ictures that cost tit-tile factory $40 to
, 860 adozen occzisionnlly bring $85 to #40
i each, and sometimes even a more ridicu~
g lous rice. This is the sort of traffic
, whic the law against selling pictures by
1 gaslight was intended to reach. But
unfortunately the prohibition affects the
i business of the hopest dealers as well a!
that of the trickstels in this trade.

The Home of Washington.
Mount Vernon, under the management
sf lady~ regents, is now a model farm. In
I the dimng~room is the sideboard used by
. the family and returned to Mount Vernon
by Mrs. Robert E, Lee, the great- nd-
daughter of Mrs. Washington. gm'l‘he
room in which Washington died is fitted
up throughout with the original furni-
ture. The vice regent: for Vi inia is
Mrs. Emma Read Bull, whose bus d in
\ grnndson of Washington‘s niece. The
estate, which includes 200 acres, is kept
in a fine state of cultivation. The revenue
comes from the sale of flowers and sweet
milk, which latter is sold by the glass in
the family kitchen. Under the condi-
tions of transfer the mansion mustbc
, kept in repair, but it. must not be
changed. In the flower garden the box
plant. which edges the walk: is preserved
tn ‘hc exact design of she hedges planted
by Weshington. The four big swcct

still grow in beauty where they were

The following letter from Artenius
Ward to «little Elmira girl, and recently
published for the first time, is in the pos.
‘ session of an Elmira (N. Y.) gentleman:
Suxn, MASS., June 18. mm.
MY DEAR AMELIA—I utmot tell you how
much I mig you.
It seems as though I had lost: all my rela-
tives, including my grandmother and the
cooking stove.
Why didn‘t I put you in a bottle and bring
you down here with me! But I am always 3
orget ling something. The other day I Went. ‘
NT and forgot my aunt: Sarah. and she‘s a 3
good deal bigger than you are. Mr. Ramsey ;
is also it very forgetful man. He It's-.1uetitly
)0: ofl and forgets his \vnsherwonmn. r. I
Ramsey is a very flue-looking man. He ro
minds me of M r Green, the Maiden murderer.
“'hen Mr. Ramsey goes to the penitentiary.
which will be very soon, we must send him
doughnutsmafigzines and other literary docu- .
merits Mr. uisey can Md print. very
well.
Ilikc you vorv much. I should like on
'ust as well if you were twelve years ol er. i
am very singular about some things. ‘ ;
You s Ike to me about a boy who IS my
rival. {should feel very sorry to lzill tlint. _
boy, but he mav drive me to it. I am in ,
hopes that he will tnke Ilium-if inton prenin- :
tum tomb—that he will choke himself with n .
large slice of pudding. but if he does neither
1 shall be forced to load him with chains
and road all my lectures to hint. 'I‘Int wall '
finish him, his boats may remain, but the mt
will have perishcd nitsumbly Ion; era I get; «
thnuigli.‘
You must be n good little girl. and always .
mind your mother. Never let your excellent
mother feel sorry tlint she is acquainted with E
You. If it hadn‘t boo-u for her you might
l“ e drowuc l in is soup slate long a o And
if you hadn‘t. ever but any mower you
might Im a Turkey with the Turkeys. In
fut-t. my door Amelia, so conduct )‘Hilr‘t‘lf
that even on dark an I rainy days the bright ,
sun may shine wherever you are, and that
the slurs uvhich are riextto the sun in bright
llt‘Snl may never flush so brulitlv but. that you
can always look steadily and hon-fully to
ward them. '
