The school referred to was the Cooper Union Woman’s Art School, which is a department of the famous Cooper Institute. It is, as the name in dicates, confined exclusively to the in struction of females, though most of the teachers are men. It accomodates sev en hundred pupils, and as the advanta ges are of the best possible kind, and entirely free of charge, it is, of course, always full, with many applicants who have to wait for months before they can get admission. I went first through the wood engra ving department, where I learned a thing that I had long wished to know, namely, exactly how the pictures that adorn the pages of our magazines, peri odicals and all illustrated books are made. This is how it is done. The original picture—painting, crayon, pen cil sketch, or whatever it may be—is photographed by a peculiar process on a smooth block of firm, hard wood, known as Turkish boxwood. This block is then turned over to the wood engra ver, who, with sharp steel instruments, delicately carves out the picture in bas relief. But besides the block the engra ver must also have constantly before him the original picture, in order that he may get as perfectly as possible its lights and shades and other nice artistic ettecta that do not appear in the photo graph, lint which the engraver is expec ted to make appear in the wood cut. To do this requires not only great manual skill, but a high degree of taste and judgment, and thorough proficiency in the art can be acquired only by natural talent, joined with long and painstaking practice. After the picture has been thus carved on the block an electrotype cast is made of it, and with that it is printed on the pages of the book or peri odical where it appears as the familiar wood cut, whioh you may see by turning the leaves of any of the pictorial papers in your public library. No one can fail to have observed the difference in the merit of these wood-cuts; this is owing almost entirely to the difference in the skill of the wood engraving artist. The wood engraver, when at work, sits at a table with the block held firmly in a little vise before him, the original pic ture at his side, his sharp steel imple ments all around him, and a magnifying glass over his eve, just like a watch maker at his bench. During the last few years a number of ladies have learn ed this beautiful art at the Cooper In stitute, and are now making an excellent livelihood by its practice, a large pro portion of the work on the numerous pictorial publications of this city and elsewhere being done by their bauds. While I was in the room I saw one of these fair artists actually at work on a full page picture, which is to appear in the April number of the ‘‘Century Maga zine. ” fcihe told me that it took her more than a year of vety diligent study to learn the art sufficiently well to make it of practical use, but after she had once attained a certain degree of skill she found no difficulty in obtaining work from the publishers. To those who reach the hignest proficiency in the art it is an exceedingly lucrative employment, from the wood engrav ing department I went into what is known as the life drawing class. The sole aim 01 tins branoh of the school is to teach pupils how "to draw the human face and lorm. The full course consists of three grades rising one above the other, and to become a thorough adept in this specialty the pu pil must go through them al, which re quires two or three years’diligent study. Beginning with the first or lowest grade 1 passed through all three rooms and observed with much interest the char acter of the work in each. In the first that I entered a curious spectacle met my gaze. If looked like some hall of anatomy in which a class of medical students had been holding a high carni val of cutting and slashing. All over the room were strewn the disjecta mem bra of the human form divine—legs, arms, feet, hands, busts, torsos, and nu merous other fragmentary portions oi the mortal part of man—were piled up on tables, strung np on frames, posed on standB, and scattered pell-mell over the Boor, not in thereat flesh and blood, ol course, but in the best possible plas ter cast representations of the same. Among these ghastly ruins of the tem ple of the soul there sat some fourscore females of various ages—elderly .dames, nice old maids, young ladies in their twenties, and pretty little damsels with the roses ot sixteen on their cheeks, all with pencils in their hands, and easels before their faces, sketching away for dear life at these horrid legs, arms, etc. They were taking their first course of lessons in the art of life drawing. After lingering quite a while, watching them at their work, I passed into the apart ment of the next higher grade. And before each plaster-cast man or woman sat one or more flesh and blood females sketching away for dear life. Thu was the second grade of the life drawing school. 1 went lastly into the third and highest grade, winch is known as the living model class. In this grade the pnpils, instead of using plaster casts and lay figures, copy only from actual, living, breathing specimens of the genus homo. As I entered the room I was confronted lace to face by a hideous, grinning human skeleton. It was strung up on an inv.'sib.e frame right in Iront of the door like a grim and ghastly sen tinel placed there to challenge every in truder. I had almost precipitated my self on its gaunt and bony bosom before 1 saw it. stepping back aghast I asked my guiue il tnat was “the living model” • No,” he leplied, “ne used to be, but he is on the letned iut now; they all oorne u> tula sooner or later.” Alter re covering myseii, I took a leisurely glance over the room. It was occupied by about fitly ladies, ail sitting at easels witfi -charcoal crayons in their hands and large sheets el white pasteboard befoie their faces sketching, sketching mWay tor dear life. Sketching what? The skeleton? Oh, no, the living mod- ;aw there it is; and what a pretty s it makes! At the other end of n, in a big arm chair, on a raised m, sat a handsome, dark-eyed youth about 18 years of age, a __ t type of his bcauiiiul race, clad Mi a becoming, picturesque costume, and. “Bused” according to the strict miea ol high art. This was the living indut-i. it was tins besnUiui youth that tnipfdty iadies were tkeicning, sketch ing uWay tor dear life. I am told tnat ♦lure are quite annmlier of * 'profession al models’ in New York now who make » good diving by “peeing” lor the nu merous arlists in this city. They get lruin fifty cents to two dollars an hour, acoordmg to their physical advantages and their skill in posing. This latter is considered a very important matter, and, other things being equal, a grace ful poser commands a much higher price titan mi indifferent one. The Secretary of the United States Association of Charooal Lon Workers l«aa issued a notice to the effect that the fourth anneal meeting will be held at Detroit Minhigan,oopiinenring Monday, Aug. 13, 1883, AOBIO ULTUBE. KifBsixx Future.—Mr. Charles Gibb Mates that the names of fruits in Buraia are hopelessly confounded, so that it is very difficult to oe certain ts to the va riety by the name given to it in different parts of the country. He says thst the leading apple of the Volga is the Ams, dhich is highly prized and very largely grown. It seems to be capable of en during a climate of 68 degrees below zero, that in latitude 65 there are twelve villages where the peasant proprietors engage entirely m apple growing, and that the product of these villages in a good season amounts to fifty thousand dollars. This is the coldest orchard region known, and she Anis is their hardiest tree. This Anis apple seems to comprise a number of varieties, one spoken of as the pink colored varitey, another as the Bine Anis. The leading apple of the Bussian Steppes is Anton ov Va, In the climate of Tonia, latitude 54, some 480 miles further north than the city of Quebec,it is considered their hardiest apple as well as the most pro ductive. It certainly is a most produc tive tree,sometimes yielding nearly half a ton of fruit. He also found some varieties of pear sufficiently hardy to endure the climate of latitude 54 on the Volga. He found cherries of a hardy variety that were grown in great abundance; that in the cherry district of Vladimer there are many orchards comprising 15,000 trees each, and that entire trains of cars are sometimes loaded with the fruit and sent to the markets; that mdeed the chief industry of this section is cherry culture. The trees are bush form, and when they become too old to bear pro fitably, the old parts are cut away and the sprouts allowed to take their places. When rips the flesh of the cherry is a purplish red, the skin a reddish black, and the flavor a rich mingling of sweet and acid. Mr. Gibb sees no reason why these cherries may not be profita bly grown in the Province of Quebec. Be also found plums in Central Bussia, chiefly of the prune family. These plum trees, like the cherry, are very dwarfish in habit, more like busnes than trees. They are usually grown from suckers. Feed fob Houses and Cows.—1 am a lover of animals, and treat them kindly; but I also let them know that I am master, and do not spoil the animal by sparing the rod. They all love and fear me. A farmer told me that I ought to have a premium for keeping old horses. I have three; the youngest 16 yens old, the next 19, the oldest and best 26. Our Western farmers and especially our town teamsters, abase their horses more than they do at the East. The general feed at the West is com. I usually feed com. 1 have been in the habit of soaking it in water twelve to t wenty-fonr hours. Of late years I have had my com ground, and fed meal with wheat bran. Corn this year is fifty cents a bushel; grinding five cents. A bushel weighs fifty-six pounds, which makes the coet of the meal one cent a pound. Wheat bran is three-fourths of a cent, coarse wheat flour or middlings at the mill one cent a pound. I am now feeding If pounds of bran and three pounds of meal and middlings mixed, three times a dsy, with a handful of oil meal and a sprinkling of salt, some hay and more grass. I let^the horses out at night in the pasture, where there is plenty of grass and a brook of water. My work is light and my feed is usually less than the above given quantity. I have planted a quantity of early corn and sugar cane, whioh, when grown *o roasting ears, 1 begin to cut and feed PAknbpr cows, homes and bogs. There is, probably, more food for animals in an acre of com, and more especially ot sngar-cane, when green, than any other crop we raise. For some years past I have been in the habit of planting some sugar-cane,not only to feed when green bat to out up for winter. The stalks keep slightly green all winter, and the animals eat the stalks of the cane all np, especially when run through a cut ting-box; the cattle and horses eat the cane-stalks and leave the corn-stalks. The cows are fed twice a day one pound of bran and one pound of middlings with a sprinkling of salt mixed. I have planted pumpkins and winter sqnashes for the cows. We know that farmers often claim that they have no time to read. This is not always true. Indeed, it is true when they aou’t want te read. No work ingman has more leisure time than the farmer. There is not one day in ten even in the busiest season,that he could not find one honr to devote to study, and during at least one-third of the year he could spare at least two hours every day, and often twice as many. Fanners’ boys have abundant time for reading and stndy. This will seem mild language to some of onr readers, but we know what we are writing about. We know all about farm life, and we know that any smart ambitious boy ou the farm can find as much time for study as he needs, if he only tries. And we know that every farmer can find on an average more than one honr a day to devote to acquiring knowledge. Coen is popular as a diet, but it is very easy to feed too much of it, parti cularly to the larger breeds. All corn m. kes them too fat, and the great bulk of fat which sometimes accumulates about the internal organs,makes trouble in laying. When hens, in apparent health die suddenly on the nest,or drop from the roost at night, it sometimes comeB irom a disarrangement of the organs, oansed by too much fat. Wheat in its various forms is a safer diet than corn, Com once a day in winter is enough. A farmer observed a flock of quails ra uning along between the rows of com, whioh was just sprouting. Conceiving the idea that they were pulling up bis com, one of the birds was killed,and its crop examined. Instead of com it was tonnd to contain one cutworm,21 stripe- bngs, and over 100 chinch bugs. A valuable bird to the farmer is tne quail, and one that should be protected, in stead of being hunted and shot for mere amusement of sport-loving hun ters. A writer in the Scientific American sayt: We clean our premises ot the detestable vermin, rats, by making whitewash yellow with copperas and covering the stones and ratters with it. In every crevice in which a rat may go we put the crystals of the copperas, and scatter it in the corners of the floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since that time not a footfall of lither rats or mice has teen heard around the house. ” Lecturing on the sun, Prof. Samuel P. Langley said that if a column of ice having a diameter at its base of 45 miles and extending to the moon,T7ere erected on one of our western prairies, and ail the heat of the sun were concentrated suddenly upon it. it would melt and be- oome water in a single second.

She scooped me stone blind. I reckon she didn’t favor the Baptist religion." A frowst tramp who had got out of New York by way of the bridge, called at a farmer’s house, near East New York, to get something to eat, and was told to chop np some kindling wood in the yard. He worked for half an honr, and then he was fed. After he had finished he said to the farmer: “Now, give me a quarter for chopping wood, and we’ll be square.” “But I gave you your dinner,” said the farmer. “I don’t work for my victuals. I work for money when I work, and the victuals is a bonus.” “Well, I won’t pay yon.” “All right, boss; then I’ll sue you. I know the law. Work means money, not victuals. I can wait I ve got lota of time; but I'll have you before the courts, if you don’t fork over.” The farmer at length paid the quarter, but he angrily protested that he would never give another tramp a meal. “All right, boss,” said the trsmp hid ing the coin in his rags; “but, if you do, don’t ask your guest to perform manual labor. So long.” “Do yon ever make trunks to order ?” asked the reporter. “Well, sometimes, if the order isn’t too curious to undertake. There was a lady here the other day, and what kind of a trunk do you suppose she wanted ? Just this: She said she was going to California and she wanted to take her nephew three monkeys that she had bought of a sailor, and the best and least expensive way to take them would bo in a trunk. So she asked us to make her one with air-holes all over it, that would not show on the ontside, and to have the acoustic properties such that if the monkeys should squeal, no one could hear them. We told 'her we couldn’t do it, and she went away in dignant.” “I SHAnii not resent your insulting language,” said an Arkansas colonel to a man who called him a liar, “Yon are not my equal in social standing, and I shall pay no attention to yon.” The man slapped the colonel’s face. “I shall not resent any of yonr slaps, for 1 can not afford to lower myself to your level.” “Yon won’t fight me, eh?” “No, sir.” “You don’t challenge me because it wonld reflect discredit ou you to meet me ou the field ? ’ ‘•You are correct.” “Let's take a drink then.” “All, right I'm your man.

DOMESTIC. Cucumber Preserves.—Gather yotlflg encumbers a little longer than your mid dle finger, and lay in strong brine one week; wash them and soak them one day and night in clean water, changing this four times; line a bell-metal kettle with vine leaves, and lay in the encum bers-with a little alum scattered among them; fill np with dear water; cover with vine leaves, then with a close 'id, and gresn as for pickles. Do not boil them. When well greened drop in ice- water; when perfectly cold wipe, and with a small knife slit down one side; dig ont the seeds; stuff with a mixture of chopped citron and seedless raisins; sew np the incision with a fine thread; weigh them, and make a syrup, allow ing a pound of sugar for every pound of encumbers, with a pint of water; heat to a lively hoi), skim, and drop m the cucumbers; simmer half an hour; take out; Bpread upon a dish in the sun, while you boil down the syrup with a few shoes of ginger root added: when thick put in the cucumbers again; sim mer five minutes and pnt into glass jars, tying them up when cold. Cube fob Sciatica.—Skoke root, either dry or green, cut into small bits and put into an open-mouthed bottle or jar holding about a pint. Fill in looaely till the bottle is nearly full and then fill the bottle with good whisky or alco hol. After standing a few noun, shak ing occasionally, it is ready for use. Dose, 1 teas poo iif ul three times a day if the stomach will bear it. If not, take smaller doses. If the limbs cramp or muon pain is suffered, take the skin of a cod fish, put into a jar, covering with alcohol, ana after it has stored a few hours bath the limbs in the liquor, rub bing with the hand night and morning. A Muqiwnppi man has discovered thst an excellent quality of sugar can be made from siredt potatoes. If this proves true, a new hae haa been found for one of the beet and most prolific of Ameri can products. The Latent Bonanza in California. Umber, Cal —Hr. Thomas P. Ford, editor of the Mountain Tribune, of this place, publishes that the great pirn-cure, St Jacob’s Oil, has worked wonders in his family, and that he would not be with out it. He states that among all the people at. Jacob's Oil is the most popular medi cine ever introduced. Boiled Ham.—Boil it throe or four hours, according to size, then skin the whole and fit it for the table; then set it in the oven for half an hour, cover thickly with pounded rusk or bread crumbs, set back for half an honr longer. Boiled ham is always improved by set ting in an oven for nearly an honr, till much of the fat dries out, and it also makes it more tender. To Clean Maubt.w—Take two parts of common soda, one part pumice stone and one part finely powdered chalk, sift it through a fine sieve and mix it with water. Then rub it well all over the marble and the stains will be removed. Then wash the marble over with soap and water and it will be as clean as it was at first Fob Dropsy.—Eight ounces lignum vitae chips; 4 ounces Indian hemp root; 1 pint cracked wMte mustard seed; 2 single handfuls horseradish, braised. Pat all into 7 quarts sound cider, reduce to 4 quarts over a slow fire. Dose from j to a whole wineglassful. two or three times a day. If the patient requires a cathartic give jalap or rhabarb. Potato Jelly.—On a tablespoonful of potato flour pour half a pint of boil ing water, and when perfectly dissolved let it boil a moment Remove from the fire and flavor with nntmeg; add sugar to taste. This is nutritions and easily digested by invalids. Potato flour is obtained by grating raw potatoes into cold water. The raspings fall to the bottom like paste. These are rinsed thoroughly, dried and pulverized. For infants and invalids potato flour may be made into many agreeable forms. Cocoanut Ice Cream.—One quart of cream, one pint of milk, three eggs, one cupful and a half of sugar, one cnpfnl of prepared coooannt, the rind and juice of a lemon. Beat together the’’eggs and grated lemon rind, and put.with the milk in the double boiler. Stir until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the coooannt and put away to cool. When cool add the sugar, lemon juice and cream. Freeze. The First-Born.—A German writer has recently shown that the “first-born of the first-bom” yeach maturity at an earlier age than those of subsequent birth. That is, the first calf, colt and lamb develop a little more rapidly than did their parents, or than will thah own brothers and sisters. If the separation be kept np for a number of generations the difference often becomes quite marked. The following methods of mazing la bels adhere to tin are from the German: First. Soften good glue in water; then boil it with strong vinegar, and thieken the liquid during boiling with fine wheat floor, so that a paste results. Second, Starch paste with wMch a little Venice turpentine has been incorporated while it was warm. Third. Paint solution of tannin over the spot, let it dry.and then affix the label previously gammed oqd moistened. Another very good method is a dilate solution of wMte gelatine,or, better still, of isinglass. Its strength should net be more than one in twenty, and it may be applied by means of a pencil or sponge. It has this advantage that labels applied to the surface so covered do not adhere permamntly at once, but may be slid about long enough to permit their proper adjustment and strai^tytatiifc Tne bee ham long been a type of the industrious worker, but there are few persons who know how much labor the sweet hoard of the Mve represents. Each head of clover contains about sixty dis tinct flower tubes, each of wMch con tains a portion of sugar not exceeding the live-hundredth “part oi a grain.* The proboscis of the bee must therefore be inserted into 500 clover tubes before one grain of sugar can be obtained. I There are 7000 grains in a pound, and aa hon ey contains three-fourths of its, weight of dry sugar, each pound of represents 2,500,000 clover tubes i by bees. Projected Deep-Sea Lightkonses. W. O. Anderson’s plan for founding deep-sea lighthouses received neat at tention at a recent meeting of Hie Lon don Society oi Engineers. It is to con struct a hoilow cylinder of riveted iron work 200 feet long, to consist of two sections; the upper pait to bo 140 feet long and fitted as an ordinary lighthouse, wholly cut of the water, while the re maining? portion of the tube is to be bal lasted so as to sink below the water line and counteract the force of winds and waves on the exposed part. The whole apparatus is to be anchored in deep water by heavy steel cables. The in ventor claims that it would be easy to tow such a structure to the spot selected for it, and then by admitting water to the lower station it would assume an npnght position and ride the waves like a bottle. The idea of founding mid-ocean floating telegraph stations has long been discussed, but Mr. Ander son is tbe first to project a structure wMch would remain stationary, and if connected with the telegraph cables would not In stoimy weather endanger them. Sir John Herschel ascertained that in case of a wave a quarter of a mile in breadth and forty feet in height the displacement of the water at a depth of 1320 feet, in its passage over it would be less than an inch, and wonld be in capable of disturbing the smallest grain of sand. As Atlantic waves seldom at tain those oimm-ion. it seems to be ap proximately certain that the construc tion of a deep-sea floating station, which can be kept in a place In all weathers, ta not a difficulty too groat for the nesting of these days, ", Celluloid, which is a combination of pyroxyhne and camphor, is now made into very good imitations of ivory,ebony coral, amber, torquoise, etc. The pyr oxylins is prepared from cigarette paper and a mixture of nitric and snlpbnric acids.

Mass., wr.tes, April ST, lbSS. U I have been terribly afflicted :or a number of years with gravel and kidney disease. My urine con tained brlck-dost deposits, and at times I could not pass my water except in drops and with great pain; and have had to get np as many as fifteen times daring the night. I tried several physicians; they did me no good, b t a friend of mine, who had used Hunt’s Remedy, told me to get a bottle and try it. He had been cu r ed of a severe case similar to mine, and that others had used Hunt’s Remedy in Cambridge and pronounced it a medi cine of real merit. After being repeatedly urged I r archased a bottle, and before I had used all of it passed a stone as large as a pea, foil >wcd by smaller ones. I have used in all ten bottles, and it has completely cored me. My kidneys are in ex* eellent condition, and for one of my age (68) sixty- eight years, I can truly ?ay I feel like a young man with strength and vitality. My family use the Remedy, and would not be without It, and never fail to recommend it to our friends and neighbors in Cambr dge and Boston. Yon are at liberty to use my name in praise of the best kidney and liver medicine. Hunt’s Remedy.” “Did Wonders for Me.” The above words are from Mr. Lswis Keen, No. 9 Highland Avenue. Malden, Mass., April 28, 1SS3. He bays: U I rave been troabled for yeira wi h kid ney and liver complaint, followed by gravel, with severe pains in my back and groins. I nad great trouble in pass ng water, it be ng scanty, an J ac companied by terrible burn nz, 'the vessel belDg coated with brick-dust deposit. I was recom mended to use Hunt’s Remedy by a friend who had been completely cured of a similar trouble. I purchased a r>ot He at the druggist’s, and com menced to improve at once. I have us a d but two bo ties, and it has done wonders for me—no more kidney trouble, no more pain. It has given me uew life, ahd 1 would not be without Hunt’s Reme dy at any price. It is all that it is recommended to be, and 1 cheerfully give this testimony for the benefit of the many sufferers from kuluey disease and gravel.” Ihe French military engineers have suggested a scheme for extending the area of Paris by suppressing old fortifi cations, which cover 2000 acres.
