It would be impossible to state positively when this art *as first practiced. Burned panels have been found in various parts -of Europe, 'set into ancient furniture, chim- ney pieces'and wainscoting. In the muse- ums of Europe there are marriage chests, coffers and panels, dating from the fifteenth century or thereabout, upon which a species of low relief woodwork, not unlike the so called fret saw work of today, has been applied or chiseled out, the fiat sur- face being richly ornamented with fine traceries unmistakably burned with heated points. Some years ago a New York artist, while wandering through the seashore vil- lages of Wales, found in a. peasant's hut a rare panel Of burned woodwork of the Ital- ian renaissance. (about, the' fifteenth cen- tury). The fishermen had found it on the beach,` where it had drifted ,,from some wreck. In the sacristy -of the little oc- tagonal church of Sant' Ercolano at Peru- gia are some ancient chests which were quaintly decorated with hot irons some 400 years ago.—J.ili William Fosdick in Cen- tury. Pooling of Tips. "Yesterday morning," said a cosmopo- lite, "I gave a man a. tip after breakfast andhe promptly passed it to the head waiter. I called the waiter back and asked him why he passed over the money. He told me that it was the rale-- ofthe house • that the money should be put in a common fund and distributed every week equally among the waiters. He said that no other system had ever adjusted the differences in the advantages that position 'nd acquaint- ance gave some of them ever the others, while the plan of combining I the tips and distributing them at the and of every week i satisfied every man. This system prevails in Germany and France; but one rarely sees it here."—Philadelphia Telegraph. Barely. "Tommy is each a sweet child," said a doting mother, "that I often think 'it will- be illbe a miracle if Le lives to grow up." "It will, said the candid neighbor, with a baleful -gleam in' his -eye.—Detroit Frre' Fres. It is a fact, . but not well known, that Mary, queen of Scots, possessed a charming. voice.

The fad for collecting posters may be only a passing whim, but it is certainly a very active craze just new and advertisers seem wising with each ether to see who can get out the most artistic and yet striking pro- ductionsto call ttention to their wares. And there is unq estionably a great .deal of art displayed in any of the sheets which enliven the bill b ards nowadays, making it easy to t}nderstan that a good collection would h ve much interest to the 'owner. A really g od poste , to be a success either in the eyes of the a vertiser or the collector, must ha -e indivi ually enough to attract the atte tion of every passer by, the colors must b pleasint,ly harmonious and the poses gr ceful, and (tho' this matters not to the colliector) their must be some appro- pria.teness and connection with the goods or events advertised Among the best sheets Pasted up recently is thecc Fibre Chamois am013 Girls,” it is unique and attractive with its light blending colors and graceful figures, catching the eye at once and holding it by its artistic claim.
