Hon did not entirely pac away with
the ahelving of the nhield and cmrusn.
Many English ofllcera Htill wear a par
tial armor when serving ou foroign atit
tiont. The commonest and moat usual type
of Ukvo protections consists of fine but
beautifully tempered single chains, in
closed in aoft leather, which run uloug
the thonldcr. down tlm outer aide of
the arms, and over certuin purts of the
body. Theae can either be aewed into a
particulur luuic, or they can bo adjusted
separately and put 011 like liurucss.
Hundreds upon hnndreda of these sets
are sold. The most valuable of all
chain in connection with aocoutermcnt
are those which guurd the lieud, and iu
ca?e where the regulation cup or hel
met in uot Bufllcieiitly protected in thia
way rpeciully uiutle clniius are sewed
inside the tame and covered by the lin
ing. Only those who have been in actual
conflict know how vuluuble all the
chains mentioned ure in minimizing the
effecta of sword cuts. An regurda pro
tection both from sword und bullet the
general belief nowadays seems to bo in
thoroughly tunned leather, and great
quantities are tuudo for officers, the fa
vorite pattern said to bo the invention
of the lute tiir Richurd Burton beiug
tbut which forma a uot too prominent
ridge down the center of the chest
Muny stories ure told by oflicem of bul
lets which have been averted in aoine de
gree by these leuther tunics, some of
which are lined with woven steel wire.
Of coursn none of these things ure suti
potted to be an absolute protection, but
only a sort of pulliutive.
A London gunsmith, who sells u great
many chaiu bisly protectors, which lit
luiost like uu ordinary vest und are
very cxs'iisive, nulla a largo number of
them to army men, and ho uot long ago
aent a grow, aa many uu ho could get
tuudo in tho time, to Japan, where they
were qnickly sold. He has made for in

From this is madua block and white draw

After the large drawing la approved It la
laid Hat upon two sheet of brown pna-r

this mny to appreciated when the gnat
number of tints used in stained gloss win
dow I considered In tho fine mosulo

nud to use them with Judgment.
Tho cutter engaged In cluswlngand rut
ting the glus has sometimes to pick over
a ton or more, of glass la-foro he arrives at
a piece, sultuhlo for soino purticulur tint.
Uy doubling a piece of glass or putting one

geneous glass metals and their different ox

Tho most cxH'tis!ve tint is ruliy, to ob
tain which gold is employed Tho excel

to tho liiiMTfoctions in tho glass which

CLUB FOB JILTEO MEN.
A Proapnrona Concern Whoan Hiabin

I aited an Invitation tho other day to
dine with a friend nt a club that ho assur
ed me waa unlike, In wmie n-specta, any
other club In the world, any a New York
correspondent of tho Cincinnati Enquirer.
We went to Tweiiiy-nlnth street and en
tonal a building that waa not inaterlully

that is, to make themselves as Inter-sting
as posslhlu to women, but never on any

heard of another nciiilulntiincowhoM.cn

me that tlio thing exist. It is enough for
me that tho w hole artist iu movement of
our time la going the same Mud, pursuing

octcristic. Let them call us Impressionist
If they wish n name that never lueiint
anything for unylssly, and certainly never

Impressionism has Invii a return to nn
tun-, a movement which has allowed to
each artist tlie complete development of
his teiiiMraincnt and of Ids imlividiialitv.
And In our essentially individualistic
epoch, Individuality is a dominating force
in art.
Impressionism Is, If 0110 nmy say so, a

It Is n school w here 0.1, h Is his own mus
