The)- are the work of Colonel .llm Triinilmll 11 ml liutm on the e.'iNteri: wall of the rotun da of tln eil:!ttil. The luili;;lii; tvei-e put In place In 1S under the MipcrvlHlnn of theartlxt lilinst'll. tint nut without iiineh hesita tion nntl oliJectliiiiN on 1 1 1 h part liecmise of the thinipncKM of the walla anil nlr In the rotniidn nt that time. The fears of the artist were proved to be well founded, for four years Inter the changes on tbo surface of the pointing beenme no apparent that conKress piiMsed a resolution iiutliorlzlnn their removal from the walls of the rotunda by Colonel Trumbull for Inspection and remedy If possible. It was nt this point that Colonel Trumbull's knowl edge of the preservative chemical com. pound was drawn on. In n letter to congress, dated Dec. 0, 1828, Colonel Trumbull explains tn de tail his treatment of the paintings nt thnt time, and nn inspection now of these four pictures shows that they fire In a perfect state of preservation both as to brightness of color and con dition of canvas. In the letter referred to Colonel Trumbull says: "All of the pointings were tnlten down, removed from their frnnies, taken off from the pnnels over which they were strained, removed to a dry, warm room and there separate ly nnd carefully examined. The mate rial which forms the basis of the paint ings Is a linen cloth whose Htrength nnd texture arc very similar to those In the topgallant soils of a ship of war. The substances employed In forming a proper surface for the artist, together with the colors, oils, etc., form n suffl vlcnt protection for the face of the can vas, but the back remains bare and ex posed to the deleterious effects of damp air. The effect of this Is first seen In the form of mildew. It wns this which I dreaded, and the examination showed that mildew was already commenced and to an extent Vhlch rendered It manifest thnt the continuance of the same exposure for a few years longer would hare nccompliehed the complete decomposition or rotting of the can vas and the consequent destruction of the paintings." Colonel Trumbull then explained how be first thoroughly dried the canvases and prepared them for the preserva tive. On this point ho continues: "1 bad learned thnt a few years ago some of the eminent chemists of I'ronce had examined with great care some of the ancient mummies of Egypt with a view to ascertaining tlio nature of the substance employed by the em bn liners which the lapse of so many ages bad proved to possess the power of protect ing from decay a substance otherwise so pcrishnble as the human body. This examination hat) proved thnt, after tho application of liquid nspbaltuin to tho cavities of the head nnd body, the whole had been wrapped carefully tn many envelopes or blindages of linen prepared with wax. The committee of chemists decided further, after a care ful examination and uualysia of tho hieroglyphic paintings with which the casings, etc.. are covered, that the col ors employed nnd still retaining their viytd brightness had also been pre pared and applied with the same sub stance. "I also (enow that toward the close of the last century the Atitliiunrliiu (Society of England bad been permitted to open oud examine the stone cotlln deposited Id one of the vaults of West minster abbey and said to contain the body of King Edwnrd I., who died In July, 1307 On removing the atone lid of the coffin Its contemn were found to be closely enveloped In 11 strong lin en cloth, waxed. Within tills envelope were found splendid robes of silk en riched with various ornaments cover ing the body, which wns found to be entire nnd to have been wrapped care fully In all Its parts, even to em ir sep arate finger. In burning! a of flue linen which had been dipped In molted wax. and not only was the body not decom posed, but the various ports of the dress, such us a scarlet satlu luuntlo nnd a acarlet piece of sarsenet which fan placed over the face, were In per fect preservation, even In their colors." Colonel Trumbull then states that, with this knowledge, he melted com mon beeswax and mixed with nn equal quantity of oil of turpentine, which mixture was applied hot with brushes to the bucks of the paintings and aft erward rubbed In with hot Irons until the cloth wus perfectly saturated. Tho niches In the walls were backed with cement and the pointings so placed In them that air could circulate behind the cnnvuHj-a. Spring doors were also ordered placed In the eutruuees to the rotunda by Colonel .Trumbull Since that treatment these paintings have bad nothing done to them, uud from present appearances they need noth ing Another peculiarity In one of these pictures Is pointed out to persona being shown the capltol under the cure of a guide, and that Is In the scene of Washington resigning his commission.

These smnll, rascally rodents have found that t ho feet of the elcphmit are excellent eating and have no hesitation in gnawing at them when the animal lies down, when, owing to Its con lined condition, it is not very well able to defend itself against Its puny enemies. To protect these vast creatures It is found necessary in most menageries to keep terriers about the cages. Theso little fellows very soon dispose of tho pachyderm's tiny adversaries. It was recently discovered In u well known nieuagciio that the mice ami rats had been very busy with the hide of a rhi noceros. A Scotch terrier, I-'imny, was put Into tho cage of the huge beast, and in tho first night she had killed no few er than twenty-seven rats. In a few days there were no rats left to nibble tho bldo of the poor rhinoceros. The Arab of Ryrln. Among the Arabs of Syria a man changes his name after the birth of IiIb eldest son, assuming the name which has been bestowed upon tho heir, with tlio prefix Abu, mooning "father of." Thus, If the sou Is called Futile Allah, "Hod's Iloiinly," the ra ther will be henceforth known as Abu Futile Allah, "Father of God's Motility." In like manner the mother would be come known as Em KmlloAlluli. "Moth er of God's Bounty." This custom Is not merely one of common speech, but extends to all occasions and even to legal documents. Still more strangely, even when a man though married has no sou the courtesy of oriental soci ety demands that ho should be ad dressed us Abu Salhn or Abu Mall tiioud, after an Imaginary son whom politeness confers upon hlin.

A Very Queer Cueluui. ' A curious custom takes place In vil lages of tho Luxembourg district, Mel glum, in May. After Sunday, service numbers of lads cluster round the church entrance and as the girls como out seize them one by one, one hid grouping a girl by the shoulders and the other by the heels, tho two lifting her well up while a third bumpkin passes under tho human bridge thus formed. This Is done In the presence of the par ents, who themselves have passed through tbe sauio ordeal. The Way He Cam.

Fruit trees und fruit require potash for 4heir best development With house plants all extreme cbnuges of temperature should be avoided. Too many trees prevent rapid growth and extend tbe time when a grove Is well shaded. Grapevines llko their roots to be near the surface, and the food for them should not be placed at too great a depth. Small growth and too much small fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur nishes a few large and line specimens of fruit. There Is no use In growing a tree very tall. Tho top limbs are apt to be come slender and break If fruit is pro duced on them. All members of tho poppy family nrw hard to transplant My choosing a rainy day and not exposing the roots one can sometimes munage a trans ference.
