TRUQUAGE.
The Art of Mnlcliitf New Tlilnus Look
Old- rtirultuio Thnt llnr to
Date rroiii tlio Slt
tociitli tviitury.
Trii(iiiaxi, although a torni probably
uiil'ainiliar to many of our readers,
never! lieiest! deserves to rank ainonj
the liner arts of modern civilization,
Mich is the industry and skill and in
jienuity with which it is carried out.
Rums' cottar mother was eliielly ad
mirable, for tlio skill witli which she
'Tar'il anld tilings as well as new,"
but the truqucur dovotes himself, on
the contrary, to the art of making now
things look quite as good as old. Tho
connoisseur of furmtitru of tho pres
ent day is well awato that, for certain
important qualities of soundness, good
workmanship, and good taste, that tlio
"old is better," with valid reason also
for his opinion. Rut tho crowd, who
have neither his leisure, his knowledge.
nor his experience, naturally fall into
the hands of tlio scientific experts of
truquage an easy prey to the spoiler.
Tlio stock in tnulo or tho French
truqucur and his English congoner
quite as expert as he need not bo
large. Walnut juice which jrives an
agreeable mellowness of tone anil
nitric acid aro nuitlier of thorn expons
ivc. The latter imitates pretty closely the
ravages of ants, and holes bored witli
a tine auger easily give tho wormeaten
appearanco which appeals to the love
of the antique in carved furnitun
Tho writer was informed by a work
man s wife that her husband was one
of those solely employed in the boring
or anger business; but in Paris live
worms aro kept to do the work, and do
it oven better, ami to order, which
more surprising. New oak can bo
stained by a solution of old iron in hot
vinegar, which darkens it to a deopo
tone: it is then carefully oiled and
polished. Tiie price demanded, how
over, is such that "bargains" can be
boasted of by the inexperienced, while
really lino work always commands its
value in the open market.
The unhappy pieces of furnituro
which have to date from tho sixteenth
century aro sovorely beaten witli heavy
bludgeons, which serves to give them
tiie worn appearance necessary to three
centuries of existence. A common do
vice is to paint tlio panels of cupboards,
roughly carved on tho promises, witli
wnite paint. I noy aro tlion dried in
tlio sun, and, after keeping some
months, aro washed in potash, which
removes the paint in patches, and the
exquisite finish of the carving beneath
is apt to bo taken for granted by tho
buyer, who is aware that in the last
century much good panelling was thus
pauueu, aim preserved to our genera

lion in consequence in all its pristine
lreslinoss in cutting and outline. Hulil
I of a very ordinary description is orna
mented by I-iencli dealers with brass
I scroll work, after the designs of (Jiliot,
who succeeded isiiiu. i nose who can
betaken in by those mechanical re pro-
I ductions must be left to liio'r fate. In
porcuiain and iaienco one can only say
caveat emptor, so clover aro the trieki
by which even the learned aro do
ci'ivcd. At Cage's manufactory at Ver
sailles tho faience de Seven is repro
duced to perfection; but here all is fair
and open dealing. If tlio buyer pro
fers his purchase "antique, M. Cage
will bake it for him until the glaze
crackles. It is further mellowed in
manure heap, and a slight extra charge
is imposed. Tlio special marks of fav
orito potters are easily imitated, and as
much pains is taken with tlio spurious
wares, witli intent to deceive, as would
sullieo to give value to real specimens.
Tlio character of the early decorations
is carefully preserved the oven white
of tho Moustiors ware; the dead dull
white of tho Mnrsollai.se, and tlio care
ful finish of the old Delft potters.
At Venico the reproduction of tho
old palatial furnituro is a thriving in
dustry, and the same at Florence, but it
possesses little or no arlislic valuo.
Tlio ebony Is black stained wood; tho
stipi aro bono and not ivory; tho shapos
and patterns are, however, carefully
copied, and tho prices aro not exces
sive, and good patterns are a distinct
ive gain in furniture; but tlio modern
production will not have tlio lasting
qualities of the old. Ivory triptychs
are manufactured at Versailles. Tho
golden tint is gained by lulling in oil,
thon plunging into boiling water, and
drying before a hot fire, which cracks
tho ivory to perfection. Those require
a very skillful eye to detect, as tho carv
ing is often meritorious. F.vou works
of tlio highest art do not escape tho tru-
quorur. Clodlon, the late ominent
French sculptor, discovered that a
group bearing his signature had boon
sold for -1,600 francs. Legal proceed
ings wero instituted, nnd it was
brought to light that the work In ques
tion was duo to ono Lobroc, who h nd
mnde it his study to imitate Clodion,
Nevertheless, threo eminent judges
Millet, Chapu, and ( ; tiilhiitnu. -after
careful examination and in so.te of the
signature, decided that in their opinion
it was not the handling of Clodion. So
the sales wero annulled and damages
wero not allowed by tlio court. Clod
ion's real name was Michel, and some
of his earliest and lino-t works are thus
signed. The arts of truquage extend
themselves even to literature. As long
ago as the seventeenth century we liud
the printers of Lxonsand Rouen simu
lating princcps editions of Racine and
Moliere. The typo, tlio paper, the
colophons, all being reproduced with
unscrupulous accuracy, and then palm
ed oil' as genuine upon the unwary
purchaser. Tlio manufacture still
prospers, added witli the photogravure
processes and the art of the facsimile. So
also aro old letters and autographs
successfully lloated, signed by Cardinal
do Retz, or Colbert, or whom you
please, fetching a good price and al
most challenging scrutiny. The his
tory of the Shapira forgeries of tho
Pentateuch aro fresh in tlio recollection
of our readers. Tlioy were olio red at
the modest price of one million ster
ling. So also the famous venis Mar
tin can still bo bought at Paris, very
like, but still not genuine; and clover
painters, whose work is as good its
LaniTcts, can bo found to figure as
Watteaus with no moan success. Rut
at present the secret of the real Martin
vernis remains as impenetrable as it is
exquisite.
in buying old oak furniture the buyer
should notice the presence of absence
of tlio "ties" or cross-bars near tho
lloor, which aro invariably in tho con
struction of tlio seventeenth century
joiners. The forger is apt to forget
this, and thus himself brand the work
as spurious. Decoration was formerly
tlio proper art, of a guild of Florentine
artists in tho fourteenth century.
Painters, jewelers, engravers, and
metal workers lived in a happy stato of
co-operative harmony, so that a coder
or casket might bear the successive
impress of many clifvor hands; as the
enamel, the setting, the lock, the jewel
work, would each bo executed by an
arlisl-craftsnian, skilled at Dello, or
Cellini, or Ghiborti. It will scarcely
do to contrast the revived mode of
painting on furniture, as wo behold it
in tiie shops, with this delicate and
masterly work. Vet many of our
young painters might bo worse employ
ed than in spending real thought and
putting real good work on articles of
daily use, which wo have to regard, un
happilv, as necessarily ugly because
utilitarian. London Queen.

it is remembered that in laWJ a conn
try preacher somewhtwe in central Mis

preacher demanded a bill of particulars
Ho was told in an abrupt way that lie
must pray for tiie president, and, to tlio

witli tlio order. On tho following Sun
day morning his church was crowded

In tho opposite corner wore tho doa
cons ot tlio congregation. J ho white-
haired preacher was hidden from view
hub nd the pulpit longer than usual
that morning, but at last the services
begun and a breathless hush fell upon
tlio assemblage as it solemnly knelt for
tho prayer on which tho fato of tho con
gregation was hanging.
"O Lord,' said tho preacher, break
ing tho painful sileneo which had fol-
owed his introductory of thanks.
"Rless this waiting congregation.
HIoss Thy servant who shall address
them this day and may ids words bo
fruitful to Thy kingdom. O Lord, in a
special manner wo pray Thy richest
blessings upon the president!"
"Amen! said tho kneeling militia
ofiicers, nudging each other violently,
while groat drops of prespiration stood
upon the foreheads of the deacons.
There was a brief and awful pause.
-Lord," shouted tho preacher famil
iarly witli sudden animation. "Thou

Young Men in Society.
As a general tiling joung ladies are
much more sclf-pov-csscd when they
first go into society than mtng gentle
men, and while the girl of -ixtion is
helped out by the kindness of other
women and Die att ntion men always
pay to the rosebuds, if they aro pretty
or pleas'ng, the boy of eighteen or
nineteen is left lo do the be.-t he can
for himself, and if he is modest, well
bred and not conceited, lie often retires
from society after a few brief plunges
into it. Vol, after all, hollow as society
is. in many professions it is necessary
for a young man to hold his own ami
appear well on social orea-dons.
It is also a relief lo any one whose
feelings aro strong anil who is apt to
grow melancholy in solitude to have
somewhere to go." I presume many
originally able men who have become
oddities, and grown careless in their
habits and oHensivo in their manners,
might have been comfortable and well
liked if they had taken a little pains to
know a few people, and to bo sought at
least in some small circles of society.
Long ago Lord Chesterfield said to
his son: "Vour ligure is like other
people's; I hope you will take care to
dress so, too. Why then should jou
be ashamed? Why not go into mixed
company as freely as into your own
room?" And he adds:
"I remember that when, witli all the
awkwardness of college about me, I
was introduced into good company, 1
was frightened out of my wits. If I
saw people whispor 1 was sure it was
about me, and thought myself tho ob
ject of tlio cencure or ridicule of the
whole company, who, heaven knows,
did not trouble themselves about me.
In this way I sullercd martydoin, and
should certainly have renounced polite,
society forever if 1 had not been ab
solutely convinced of the necessity of
forming my manners. I remember at.
last gaining intrepidity "enough to go
up to a line woman anil tell her that I
thought it was a warm day. She ans
wered mo very civilly and said she
thought so, too; upon which the con
versation on my part ceased, until she
remarked, good naturedly lcsiiining it:
'1 see your embarrassment, and I am
sure tlio few words you said to me cost
you a good deal; but do not be dis
couraged. All you want is manner,
and you do not want that as much as
you think you do.' "
Lord Chesterfield was supposed to bo
one of the most elegant men of ids day;
and the bashful boy who made an ef
fort to say, "It is a warm day,
madam," became ambassador to tho
Hague, viceroy to Ireland, secretary of
state, and member of the cabinet. Ho
had all tho elements of social sitccesa
within him, and yet, no doubt, ho
might have gone to the wall but for that
determination to form his manners in
good society. And what was said so
many years ago to a bashful English
youth a bashful boy of any nation may
read with benolit: "Do not be dis
couraged. All you want is manner,
and you do not want that ns much as.
you think you do." Harriet Trow

Why Thoy Had to Kill Another
Chinaman.
Ono of tlio best known mining
engineers in the United States, in fact
tho man who built many big mines and
tunnels oh the Paeilio coast, and whom
wo will call Smith for tho sake of the
story, told tho Casual Observer the
otherday that while superintending tho
construction of a mine at Virginia City,
on which mostly Chinese labor was
employed, tlio foreman of one of tho
tunnels came to him one morning nnd
said: "Mr. Smith, u Chinaman was
killed this morning by a fall of rock In
the tunnol. We'll have to kill another
buforo night." "Why so?" was tho
Inquiry in reply. "Well," said tho
foreman, as he took a fresh chew of
tobacco, "It's easier to carry two dead
Chinamen out of camp than one."
The engineer got mad at this and pro
hibited any reckless exposure of life.
Rut siiro enough before tho night fell
another Chinaman had been gatli red to
his fathers. Tho manner of carrying
tho dead Chinamen out of camp was
to hang one body on each side of a
mule. If Jiero was only ono dead
Chinaman it took two men to carry
him oil', one nt his head nnd another at'
his heels. New York Graphic.
