Fertile Are the Forge Equally With ! or Modern Master, Craft an Ancient On T While the faking of work' of ar has been brought to a high perfection by the methods of modern science the industry probably began man; thousands of years ago, when som cave man copied a rock sketch of mammoth and signed it with famou Initials. It is a sad fact that scarab wrapped up with Egyptian mummie centuries before the Christian er were often counterfeits produced fo the foreign markets by unprinciplei countrymen of Plato. The period o the Renaissance was fertile in imita tions. Michael Angelo himself begai his career by burying in the earth statue which he carved and thu turned it into a valued antique. An drea del Sarto copied Raphael's por trait of Leo X., and it is still a ques tion whether the picture now at Na pies is the original or the copy. Th younger David Teniers made it hi business to supply the world wit] multiplied Titians, and another abl counterfeiter kept the memory of Jai van Huysum green a generation afte the artist's death. The wise collecto reckons not only witn modern irauas but with the deceptions of the ol< masters and the ancients. It takes art to conceal art. Ther* Is a problem of production and of dis tribution. A favorite method of dis tribution is "to place pictures with i wet nurse," says Helen Zimmern. ii tfce National Review. A picture darl with smoke and dust is hung in som< peasant's house in a remote district The dealer informs his prey of ; great discovery and takes him to se< the canvas.

Bogus Marks of Age. It used to be considered an infallible test of old pictures to rub the surface with alcohol, which causes the varnish and colors of new paintings to run. But the art forgers have imported from Mexico the juice of a cactus, used by the natives as a weather preservative for their huts, which, being spiead on a painting, protects it from the attacks of chemicals. The test of looking at the back of a panel or canvas is met by the resourceful fairer xl' atto nVt 02 hv moane nf a . 6pecial paste his copy or pastiche to the canvas or panel of some genuine but worthless old painting. The hybrid product is baked in an oven to harden the glue and cause the beloved cracks of venerability. Wood ashes and smoke also impart age, while "that warm, golden tint that is the collector's joy" is gained by rubbing the canvas with liquorice juice. Authentic flyspecks are produced with beautiful simplicity. The operator stands a few feet from the canvas and with a fine brush dipped in a mixture of gum and China into or sepia flicks enough fiy marks upon the painting to make it look as if 11 had reposed on the walls of an American farm kitchen for several centuries. If these artificial certificates ol age are accidentally too numerous some of them can be removed before the liquid has set. When a copyist finds himself in a technical hole, as rarely happens among these skilled gentry, he blurs the painting at the difficult spot and applying a damp cloth, causes « PECULIAR SV Nomadie Life of a i With Primii Farmers are usually considered ; very stationary class of people no given to frequent removes; but in « little Swiss valley near the sourc< of the Rhone River are about tw< thousand peasant farmers, who fron the nature of their conditions ar< frequently on the move. There an groups of habitations wherever then is land to till or pasturage, and tht farmers live wherever there is worl to be done, leaving one house empt: to move into another, so that soin< families may own several houses. At any season of the year entin families may be seen either ascendin; or descending the valley with theii Viprdc nr household coods as thoug! they were leaving the country. A the head of each procession is a mul< carrying the farmer; the mother anc children follow, and behind then come the cattle, goats, sheep and pigs Throughout the valley, which is onl: thirteen miles long, are large num bers of houses ar»i barns seemingl: without a sing;e tenant.

Imi(, tated even are the modified lines y found in the masters' works showing e where the artists changed their cona tours. The forging of famed signas tures. old and new, is a specialty. A s neat trick is to place a signature uns der a moldy spot and let the happy a customer discover it himself wien he r has taken the painting home and subi jected it to amateur cleaning, f Modern artists of note are un- blushingly counterfeited in their lifea time. Sidney Cooper was so often a asked to decide whether a work was s from his brush that he charged a reg- ular fee to cover loss of time. Dia* - vainly disavowed the paternity of a i- picture whose purchaser insisted that the work was a genuine Diaz. The e Barbizon school has been especially s counterfeited. America is saia to De a crowded with false Corots, Courbets, e Troyons and Rousseaus. a Celebrated Cases of Deception. r A thousand tricks are used in the r manufacture of old prints and drawinps. The paper for antique engrav* ings is stained in a coffee solution. and if the connoisseur licks an edge e of the paper a white spot will appear, ' whereupon the dealer threatens to " sue for damages. A genuine antique 1 paper taken from the blank pages of 3 old account books and dairies makes r riotopfinn mnrp Photoerariby ' is used both in committing and de- tecting fraud. In the first case auto- ' 1 graphs are imitated by the photogra- - vure process and, second, the camera t reveals parchment erasures that are : invisible to the naked eye. The Brit- ? ish Museum once came near paying $5,000,000 for manuscript variants 1 of the Old Testament produced by a 3 gifted swindler named Shapira. Tho ? same man swindled the German Em- i peror out of a huge sum by the sale ! 1 of a collection of Moabite pottery. " The difficulty of detecting forged doc- 5 uments is shown by the fact that at ' the world famous auction room in Paris, the Hotel Drouot, a day is re- 1 quired for the verififcation of furni- i ture, but eight days to establish the r genuineness of autographs. A cele- brated case of deception was that of M. Michel Chasles, a geometer, who r bought a collection of 27,000 auto- j graphs, including letters from Jesus Christ, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, Ju- j das. Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, Alcibiades, Pilate and others, for which he paid a round sum. The counterfeiter got two years in jail and the purchaser obtained more de- ' rision than sympathy. j£\ uiuiiugx apun c^pci i was giau that he examined a rare old manu- script page by page, for he discovered one page not perforated, while all the rest of the pages were bored through by an assiduous bookworm. The for- ger had neglected to bore the false page which he inserted. Earthen- ware and porcelains are very much imitated. Bastianini, an illiterate but gifted Italian, made a fifteenth century bust which was exhibited in Paris in 18S7 and sold to the Govern- ment for 13,600 francs. It was placed in the Louvre, and Bastianini claimed the credit of the work, which was re- luctantly conceded to him when he proved that the bust was a portrait of a live workman instead of a long rtpppftcprt nnot. Robin's Nest on Wheels. A correspondent sends an account of a robin building in a child's motor car. The toy car stood in the porch of a house at Purley, and while there it was noticed that there was a collec tion of leaves in the hood, but it was not till the motor car was taken to the other end of the garden and put away in the summer house that the robin completed its nest undisturbed, s for the car was not used, the children being away from home. On their re> turn the motor car was taken out and i the boys were racing around the lawn, one pedalling the machine while the : other pushed behind, when to their t astonishment a robin flew out from : the hood. On looking in a nest containing six eggs was discovered, which in their I excitement the boys pulled out; but i happily the nest was replaced and the ; car put back in the summer house and although two eggs were taken i the robin did not forsake it but con5 tinued to sit on her eggs even though > the motor horn was sounded and , many a visitor came to see her.. i Country Life. /ISS FARMING. simple.

They move from c nlare to nlace not onlv for eonveni- f ence, but in OjMer to take their live * stock with tb'tm for enriching the soil. At each of the stations outside ' of the villages each family has a 9 house and barn with a stable under r it, a granary and a cellar. i These peculiar people are farmers t of the old-fsshioned type, raising everything ne.'.rly that they need on 1 their own lar.ds. The soil supplies i them with bre;ul, fruit and wine; they . build their own houses, make their )' own furniture, spin yarn, weave cloth a'nd make their own shoes from the i hides of their cattle.

WisR& * New York City. . Embroidery worked onto the material is being extensively used on lingerie blouses this season, and it is always charming in effect. This blouse includes a yoke which is especially adapted to such treatment, and which can be made N material is handkerchief lawn and the trimming is lace insertion, while the sleeves are cut off to three-quarter length. The blouse is made with the yoke and the full front and back portions, which are tucked and joined to its lower edge. The sleeves are in one piece each, with the seams so arranged as to be nearly invisible, and can be made either long or in threequarter length. When the high neck is used a regulation stock collar makes the finish. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and flveeighth yards twenty-one or twentyfour, three yards thirty-two or two and three-eighth yards forty-four inches wide with three yards of banding and two yards of edging. Wide Belts. What extremely wide belts are seen among the new models! Some of them assume the proportion of a bodice, and most of them are beautiful. Slits, in Sleeves. The exaggeratedly-long sleeve has a slit at one side of the part over the hand to allow the thumb to pass through. What Hairdressers Say. Some hairdressers say that the hair must be worn flat on top and very broad at the sides and back. The low, broad forehead is the effect which must be attained to be fashionable. Metallic Trimming. A bit of metallic trimming is the prettiest combination with colored nets, either by way of collar, small yoke, chemisette, narrow bands or a metallic gauze, for lining the whole or a uart of the waist. . . » Tp|k Wteiiw Larger Buttons. Buttons grow larger and dressiet day by day. Stenciled Shirt "Waists. Instead of being embroidered, the new shirt waists are stenciled in the most charming designs and colors. White Tulle Strings. It is said that white tulle or mulle strings will be seen on many of the spring hats for younger women. I Color Everywhere. It is as nearly certain as styles ever are that the coming season will not be an all-white one. Touches of color are everywhere. Nine Gored Skirt. The simple gored skirt is always a desirable one and always in demand. This one is novel in that the side gores are lanced over onto the front gore, but otherwise it is plain. The lines, however, tend to the fashionable slender effect, and, as the skirt can be made either long for the house or short for the street, it is adapted to every seasonable material. The skirt is made in nine gores and the fulness at the back can be laid in inverted pleats or the skirt can be cut off and finished in habit style. The quantity of material required for the medium size is one and threequarter yards twenty-four, eight yards thirty-two, five and threeeighth yards forty-four or four and a quarter yards fifty-two inches wide when material has figure or nap; I > .1 I iil seven yards twenty-four, six and three-quarter yards thirty-two, four and three-eighth yards forty-four Dr throe and a quarter yards fifty-two inches wide when material has neithi er figure nor nap. The Waist Lino. The waist line of most new models has crept down to its normal plac-o and a form of compromise much affected in the new models includes a lowered waist line, but keeps the loose fitting straightness. the result being a semi-fitting princess effect, suggesting the natural curves of the figure, but not defining them. Thus, if the short waist should be out of stylo, the .model will pass muster, and yet, if present lines retain their prestige, the loose straightness will affect the lonsthened waist. % ! INDIANS A PROBLEM IN PINE TREE STATE. Maine Has to Provide For Support of Eight Hundred Members of Her Three Tribes. The remnants of the once great tribes of Maine Indians are in a certain sense proving a white elephant on the hands of tne Pine Tree State. There are three tribes, the Abenakis, Passamaquoddy and Penobscot Indians, and under the terms of an agreement made at the time Maine became a State the State is bound to look out for the material welfare of the descendants of the red men, for it is hard to characterize the present generation as simon pure Indians because through intermarriage with the whites there is not aow a full blooded Indian among all the eight hundred who compose the membership of the three tribes. There was talk of introducing at the present session of the Legislature i measure authorizing the sale of the land comprised in the Indian reservations of the State and adding the proceeds to the funds already held in trust for the tribes with a view to turning the Indians loose to look out for themselves, but it was discovered that under existing agreements the State is bound to support them, whether they work or play, so It does not seem there will be any legislative attempt at this session to make them self-supporting. The abodes of the tribe are in the eastern section of the State, where comfortable dwellings, erected at the expense of the State, shelter the fam- Ilies and where subsistence is provided by the State. The lands are as good as there are in Maine for agricultural purposes, but the Indians show no disposition to follow farming or to perform any other productive labor. Outside of the allowance they receive from the State the chief source of income, especially among the Penobscots, is derived from fishing and trapping along the streams in undeveloped sections and the sale of Indian articles to summer visitors. During the War of the Revolution the Maine Indians remained friendly to tbe colonists and aided materially in the fight for independence. Their support was assumed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts after the independence of the colonies had become a fact, and when Maine was set apart from the mother State an express agreement was made binding the new State to assume this obligaMati In nomptllltv. Formaldehyde For Flies. It is not always possible to trace the origin of illness, but it is easy enough to give valid reasons why tho fly can be the introductory agent. Purely medical aspects apart, the fly is not particularly scrupulous as to its environment.it alights at one time on most offensive material and at another it is on the food in the kitchen and at the table. . One of the earliest experiments we remember to have seen showing the connection of flies and disease was that in which a common bluebottle was allowed to walk across a piece of freshly sliced potato. The potato subsequently developed colonies of micro-organisms all along the track taken by the fly, while elsewhere no development took place. The important question remains how best to get rid of the fly. Fly papers and sticky strings aro unsightly, and the struggle of a fly to release itself from a sticky substance is not an entertaining spectacle. In our own experience the best exterminating agent is a weak solution of weak formaldehyde in water (say two teaspoonfuls to the pint), and this experience has been confirmed by others. It would appear that flies are attracted by a weak solution of formaldehyde, which they drink. Some die in the water, others get as far only as the immediate vicinity of the plate of water, but all ultimately succumb; and where they occur in large numbers hundreds may be swept up from the floor. It is 'consoling to know that by this method the flies have died under a dose of a fluid which is fatal to disease organisms, a fluid also which is inoffensive and for practical purposes non-poisonous. The method at once provides a means of diminishing the scourge and of securing to some extent what is most desirable, the disinfection of the slain..Lancet. X-Ray For Warts. The very simplest way of getting rid of a wart is by a single application of the X-rays. The wart does not fall off during the actual application, but within a week or ten days afterward it simply dr jps off, leaving smooth and healthy skin behind it. The time occupied by each sitting i", something between fifteen and hirty minutes, and no dressings or Lher applications are required. The .ocedure gives a minimum amount >l trouble- *o the fstient, a maximum cf certainty of immediate cure, and no scarring. One kind of wart which is particularly annoying to its possessor is that which grows upon the scalp. These warts may occur in people who are quite grown up or even past middle life. It is as easily cured by an ap- plication of the X-rays as are the warts upon juvenilo hands. . The Hospital. Things in Women's Hair. Men who wonder how timid women can wear in her hair a thing that is called a rat.merely called so. will probably become speechless by the announcement that a London woman wears a live marmoset in her hair. Other women are wondering if this will become "the fashion."

As neat trick is to place a signature unsder a moldy spot and let the happya customer discover it himself wien her has taken the painting home and subijected it to amateur cleaning,f Modern artists of note are un-blushingly counterfeited in their lifeatime.

Tho? same man swindled the German Em-i peror out of a huge sum by the sale !1 of a collection of Moabite pottery." The difficulty of detecting forged doc-5 uments is shown by the fact that at' the world famous auction room in

Paris, the Hotel Drouot, a day is re-1 quired for the verififcation of furni-i ture, but eight days to establish ther genuineness of autographs. A cele-

brated case of deception was that ofM. Michel Chasles, a geometer, who

r bought a collection of 27,000 auto- jgraphs, including letters from JesusChrist, Lazarus, Mary Magdalene, Ju- jdas. Cleopatra, Alexander the Great,Alcibiades, Pilate and others, forwhich he paid a round sum. Thecounterfeiter got two years in jailand the purchaser obtained more de-

The for-ger had neglected to bore the falsepage which he inserted. Earthen-ware and porcelains are very muchimitated. Bastianini, an illiteratebut gifted Italian, made a fifteenthcentury bust which was exhibited inParis in 18S7 and sold to the Govern-ment for 13,600 francs. It was placedin the Louvre, and Bastianini claimedthe credit of the work, which was re-

Robin's Nest on Wheels.

A correspondent sends an accountof a robin building in a child's motorcar. The toy car stood in the porchof a house at Purley, and while thereit was noticed that there was a collection of leaves in the hood, but it wasnot till the motor car was taken tothe other end of the garden and putaway in the summer house that therobin completed its nest undisturbed,

s for the car was not used, the childrenbeing away from home. On their re>turn the motor car was taken out and

i the boys were racing around the lawn,one pedalling the machine while the

: other pushed behind, when to theirt astonishment a robin flew out from: the hood.

On looking in a nest containing sixeggs was discovered, which in their

I excitement the boys pulled out; buti happily the nest was replaced and the; car put back in the summer house

and although two eggs were takeni the robin did not forsake it but con5tinued to sit on her eggs even though> the motor horn was sounded and, many a visitor came to see her..i Country Life.

! INDIANS A PROBLEM INPINE TREE STATE.

Maine Has to Provide For Supportof Eight Hundred Membersof Her Three Tribes.

The remnants of the once greattribes of Maine Indians are in a certainsense proving a white elephanton the hands of tne Pine Tree State.

There are three tribes, the Abenakis,Passamaquoddy and PenobscotIndians, and under the terms of an

agreement made at the time Mainebecame a State the State is boundto look out for the material welfareof the descendants of the red men,for it is hard to characterize thepresent generation as simon pureIndians because through intermarriagewith the whites there is notaow a full blooded Indian among allthe eight hundred who compose themembership of the three tribes.

There was talk of introducing atthe present session of the Legislaturei measure authorizing the sale of theland comprised in the Indian reservationsof the State and adding theproceeds to the funds already heldin trust for the tribes with a viewto turning the Indians loose to lookout for themselves, but it was discoveredthat under existing agreementsthe State is bound to supportthem, whether they work or play, so

It does not seem there will be anylegislative attempt at this session tomake them self-supporting.The abodes of the tribe are in the

eastern section of the State, wherecomfortable dwellings, erected at theexpense of the State, shelter the fam-Ilies and where subsistence is providedby the State. The lands are as

good as there are in Maine for agriculturalpurposes, but the Indiansshow no disposition to follow farmingor to perform any other productivelabor.

Outside of the allowance they receivefrom the State the chief sourceof income, especially among the Penobscots,is derived from fishing andtrapping along the streams in undevelopedsections and the sale of Indianarticles to summer visitors.

During the War of the Revolutionthe Maine Indians remained friendlyto tbe colonists and aided materiallyin the fight for independence. Theirsupport was assumed by the Commonwealthof Massachusetts after the independenceof the colonies had becomea fact, and when Maine was

set apart from the mother State an

express agreement was made bindingthe new State to assume this obligaMatiIn nomptllltv.

Formaldehyde For Flies.It is not always possible to trace

the origin of illness, but it is easyenough to give valid reasons why thofly can be the introductory agent.Purely medical aspects apart, the flyis not particularly scrupulous as toits environment.it alights at one

time on most offensive material andat another it is on the food in thekitchen and at the table. . One of theearliest experiments we remember tohave seen showing the connection offlies and disease was that in which a

common bluebottle was allowed towalk across a piece of freshly slicedpotato. The potato subsequently developedcolonies of micro-organismsall along the track taken by the fly,while elsewhere no development tookplace.The important question remains

how best to get rid of the fly. Flypapers and sticky strings aro unsightly,and the struggle of a fly to releaseitself from a sticky substance is notan entertaining spectacle. In our

own experience the best exterminatingagent is a weak solution of weakformaldehyde in water (say two teaspoonfulsto the pint), and this experiencehas been confirmed by others.It would appear that flies areattracted by a weak solution of formaldehyde,which they drink. Somedie in the water, others get as faronly as the immediate vicinity of theplate of water, but all ultimately succumb;and where they occur in largenumbers hundreds may be swept upfrom the floor. It is 'consoling toknow that by this method the flieshave died under a dose of a fluidwhich is fatal to disease organisms, a

fluid also which is inoffensive and forpractical purposes non-poisonous.The method at once provides a meansof diminishing the scourge and of securingto some extent what is mostdesirable, the disinfection of theslain..Lancet.

X-Ray For Warts.The very simplest way of getting

rid of a wart is by a single applicationof the X-rays. The wart doesnot fall off during the actual application,but within a week or ten daysafterward it simply dr jps off, leavingsmooth and healthy skin behind it.The time occupied by each sitting

i", something between fifteen andhirty minutes, and no dressings or

Lher applications are required. The.ocedure gives a minimum amount

>l trouble- *o the fstient, a maximumcf certainty of immediate cure, andno scarring.One kind of wart which is particularlyannoying to its possessor is that

which grows upon the scalp. Thesewarts may occur in people who are

quite grown up or even past middlelife. It is as easily cured by an ap-plication of the X-rays as are thewarts upon juvenilo hands. . TheHospital.
