These war panoramas are - mostly care? ful studies of locale and incident, in which photography and war reminiscence are blended. The ground is usually pho? tographed and sketched, and the import? ant figures, are drawn from models who stand as race types oras specimens of the personnel of the opposed forces. - The landscapes are sometimes painted from towers or 4*poft tops,-- and the types are found on their respective heaths. There is a general designer, who plans the pic? ture in its entirety and assigns it in por? tfons to his assistants, his draft being di? vided into say fifty or a hundred squares, each of which is thrown up, immensely magnified by thc camera. Each of these squares is then projected against the can? vas by a stereopticon, and the principal Unes of it are rapidly limned in charcoal on the surface to be painted afterward. Movable platforms nmning_ around the building on a railroad furnish the means of -transit from point to .point as the painting 'progresses, and, afterthe "whole is blocked" in, tiie specialists of the s taft* elaborate "the landscape, the sky, the trees, the water, the faces, the howes, the little details and tricks of realism-whatever they have^ liking and ability for-and the . designer in-chief then shapes the ground and adds the rubbish heaps, the broken caissons, the arms, flags,drums, dismantled cannon, equipments, ail the wreckage of a battle wherewith, the twenty or thirty feet of space between the platform and the pic? ture is strewn. Though full of slights and clever impositions the completed pan? orama contains a deal of art as well, and if Its historical fidelity is beyond dispute no doubt it serves an educational purpose. As an amusement lt is entitled to rank above many of the untruthful recreations of our city.-Brooklyn Eagle. The Descendants of the V?ndala? Among our interesting guests were a young couple from Tunis, the husband a Genoese by blood, and the wife a Neapoli? tan. Both spoke Italian and French with- " out provincial or alien accent, as is fre? quently the case in mercantile families of the Mediterranean, especially such as have long dwelt abroad. .This Tunisian had something curious tc tell me concern I ing races famed in history. He said that the Kremsirs, a wild people who live on the western frontier of Tunis-a swarm of mere savages without appearance of ; any religion-are reputed to be the de? scendente of the Vandals of Genseric, and in many cases have blue eyes and fair hair. Another strange brood of men inhabits a point on the coast; they too, although darkly sunburnt, frequently exhibit blue eyes and fair hair; and they-are supposed to represent tiie stock of the Carthagin? ians "Is it likely that the countrymen of Hannibal were allght-coraplexioned race?

New York Post. A Sien of Inward Nobility, j A .quaint physician was wont* to say that he knew a gentleman or lady after he had dined with them. Speaking of a new comer with whom he was not favora? bly impressed, he said: "I must have been mistaken. I have seen him dine, and I respect him." It might not be a good : ilan to trust a man who knows how to eat, without more tangible recommenda? tion, but there!? certainly an outward sign of inward nobility in the table com? panion who' knows how to handle his knife and fork so deftly that you must need your eyes tu know that those arti? cles are a part of the table furnishings! ba pours cream and drops sugar into' his corree* * Jc^; a "'quiet " ' manner; i rhe^ df*e* throughout fit a way that may ' "not Inspir? j cor^eacs/atehomrh~it -wins admiration.

He is not down in his chair till the hall fe aware ot his presence; he spreads out his napkin osten? tatiously; he .thrusts his elbows at right angles; he beats a tattoo with his knife" . and fork while waiting for his course; he ; takes bis glass of water at one gulp; he peppers and salts everything before him, and wonders why the neighbors sneeze; he comments on the victuals; he smack his lips; he tells where he was yesterday and where he is going to-morrow, and why. It takes iron nerves and a strong constitu? tion tov contemplate the possibility of his presence at a table three times a day for two weeks.-Kansas City Journal. Experience with a Pudding.Glace. Not long ago a certain well-known lady, who had come into a higher circle of so? ciety by the acquisition of an unexpected fortune, gave a dinner party po c coterie of her new associates. Desiring "dd a few extra delicacies to the fen&s ?he or? dered a number of dishes from a popular caterer. One of them was a pudding glace, and a few minutes prior to serving the dessert she caused it to be placed in the oven to warm. A few minutes later she opened the oven door, and discovered that the translucent solid, with its im? bedded fruits, had been reduced to a liquid, and the fruits floated serenely on the top. In other words, it had melted. The Argonaut Temperament of Young Californians. There are not materials at hand to form precise opinions in relation to the effect which environment has produced on the Californians of the first generation. That it has caused some modifications can not be doubted. Observation tends to estab? lish that the young Californian Is of a lighter temperament than his eastern cousins. That he is more temperate and at the same time more fun-loving ls be? yond question. The predecessors of the pioneers in California were the most ab? stemious of the human race. But most marked characteristics will be developed in the second generation of Californians that is now slowly coming up.-San Fran? cisco Alta. Kew Peat of Feminine? Audacity. The unassailable girls of Fifth avenue have a new feat of audacity in promenade manners. They whistle for their dogs. The fashion was to lead their pets by fanciful strings, or be led by them, but now the belle who desires to keep a little ahead of the general procession in stylish? ness lets her dog *go loose. Then if he wanders off she stops still, lifts her pretty head high, parses her lips bewitchingly and emits a clear, musical whistle. Each girl has a special call, understood bf her dog; and this amounts in some instances to a bar of music from* some opera. - ?Uncle Bill's letter."

Eating a Sermon and a Miracle? ***Every on??lvh^?a?8"hts m?tulima?egg I eat* A sermon and a miracle. Inside of [?that smooth, symmetrical, beautiful shell, lurks a question which has been the Troy town for all the philosophers and scien? tists since Adam. Armed with the engines of war-the miscroscope, tbe scales, the offensive weapons of chemistry and reason -they have probed and weighed and ex? perimented; and still the question ls un? solved, the citadel unsacked. Professor Bokorny can tell you that albumen is com [ j>ose? of so many molecules of carbon and nitrogen and hydrogen,, and can persuade you of the difference between active and passive albumen, and can show by wonder? fully delicate experiments what the alde? hydes have to do in the separation of gold from his complicated solutions; but he can't tell you why from one egg.comes a "little rid hin," and from another a ! bantam. You leave your little silver spoon au tour in your egg-cup, and it is coated with a compound of sulphur. Why is that sul? phur thereto Wonderful, that evolution should provide for the bones of the future hen! There is phosphorus also in that little microcosm; and the oxygen of the air, passing through the shell, unites with it, and the acid dissolves the shell, thus making good strong bones for the chick, and at the same time thinning the prison wall.-Professor Matthew-Williams. Discovery or "Gelatine** Dynamite? Mr. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dyna* mite and blasting gelatine, has recently introduced what be terms gelatine dyna? mite, which combines and gives effect to -the qualities- of the two-great explosives that go toiorrtiits name. It has gone lit? tle farther than the test stage as yet; but accounts of its use in mines, limestone and granit? quarries, tunnels,' f and col leries show" that it has advantages that the intelligent workman appreciates; that it does the work of dynamite in places that cannot be well ventilated, and that it leaves so little of an offensive smell that miners can go in almost immediately, feel no bad effects, and go on with their work. Form or a Newly Invented Kati? Tn a newly invented nail the shank is not made smooth, but formed in several- j taperings or conical sections, that is, from the point upward the nail widens for a short distance, is then contracted and again widens. In this way a series of barbs are formed, which, act as r?chet teeth and prevent the withdrawal of the nail except by great -force. The wire is prepared with projections ina continuous strip, and is then cut, headed, and pointed.-Boston Budget. A Workshop of the Stone Age? A workshop of the stone age has been discovered near the gates of Paris, and has yielded nearly 900 hand-worked flints, including pieces of polished hatchets, scrapers, blades, points and two or three little polishers.-Exchange. Two Ways of Looking' at lt. "Yes," said a physician, "poor Smith ls dead. I did all that medical science could do, but nature had to take her course.

Nothing but the most skill? ful treatment saved him from the grave." -New York Times. A Coat of Many Colon. The appearance of shirts of gorgeous color ?ad tho advent of the racing season are simultaneous this year. It is a curi? ?os freak which makes the most ex? travagant combinations admissible ac far as the shirt bosom and coffs axe con? cerned, but rigidly prescribes a white col* lar.
