Painting Points. When preparing paint remember that better results are obtainable from several applications of thin paint than from heavier coats. Of course, It takes longer to do the work. Paint put on In thin coats and allowed to dry, lasts much longer and will not flake off as is often the case when heavier coats are applied. When very fine results are wanted rub down each coat after it has thoroughly dried.

No. 1. 11S vntS writing to i ' tlea this ar. THE tiny, Independent state of Luxemburg has been almost lost sight of while Europe Is fighting Its great war. Vast war armies swept over ims iu- fant monarchy at the beginning of the war, passed beyond, and left it all un damaged far behind the battle lines. Luxemburg was in no position to op pose the passage of an empire's forces, and, therefore, quietly submitted to the passage of the German army. Hence it is still the possessor of a well-developed Industry, of smiling fields and meadows, and of a people happy in the security of their young men. When the kaiBer's army corps Btarted by way of this grand duchy Into France, Luxemburg had a stand ing army of 200 and about 150 police men with which to oppose the Ger man endeavor. Such of an army as the grand duchess had was above re proach, well-drilled, well set-up, well ted, and handsomely uniformed and caparisoned, but it might as well have Bet out to stay the tidal waveB of the sea as to have mobilized in defense of Its neutrality. Luxemburg is little known to the average European traveler. Though it lies between two great capitals Paris and Berlin It is comparatively neg lected by tourists, most of whom are unaware that it offers a multitude of Interesting details to the visitor, writes L. A. Pollock in the Philadel phia Record. A place of glorious r IS VIEW of LUXEMDURO mountains and lowlands, of sparkling rivers and magnificent forests, vener able towns, ancient castles, perched dizzily on altltudlnous crags, Roman remains and Druid relics, It holds within its narrow confines much to enthrall and move the visitor. It is replete with folklore. It had Siegfried for Its ruler and by many native students is believed to have been the birthplace of the Nlbelungen legends. A novel state it Is and ruled by the prettiest and youngest sover eign In Europe! Has a Mixed Population. The Inhabitants of Luxemburg speak French, German and a patois. But they are not French or German tiiey are Luxamburgers. French is the lan guage of the court. The patois, a strange mixture of many tongues, Is Bpoken by most of the poorer folk. It Is a queer conglomeration of languages and, to add to the difficulties of con versation, there are four varieties of the dialect. In traversing the very ex cellent roads in the duchy one is apt to be saluted with a German "guten tag" or a French "bon Jour." Agriculture is one of the principal occupations of the people, and .the di minutive state actually produces one fortieth of the world's supply of Iron. Many Germans have entered the coun try to work in the mines or on the rail roads, and, despite the traditional dis like of Prussians they are quickly made Luxemburgers. The same is true In a measure of many Italians who have made their way Into Marie Ade laide's domain. Besides its farms and mines Luxem burg Is made rich by its glove, pot tery, cloth, paper, beer and tobacco Industries. It has also produced in a good season as many as 1,250,000 gal lons of wine. Cattle also are raised in large number. Education Is highly developed, the schools even drawing many foreigners. The people reverence titles even as they love their grand duchess. Way back in the old days they sided with artstocratlo Spain against the more liberal Netherlands and favored Louis XVI when he combated the revolu tion, bringing misery down upon their heads for their pains. How It I Governed. The grand duchy has a parliament consisting of an upper house of 15 members chosen by the grand duchess and a chamber of deputies numbering 48, elected by the people. The grand duchess is aided by the consell de gou vernement of four members named by the monarch. The country is divided into 13 can tons, the people apparently being free from superstition in that respect. There is no trial by jury in the land. Each canton has its "justice de paix." A "tribunal d'arrondissement" sits at Luxemburg and another at Diekirch and in the capital there Is a high court of justice. Germans have done much to develop the country in the face of national ha tred. They run the railroads and many other enterprises, and Luxemburg still remains in the zollverein or German customs union. Luxemburg, the capital, a city of 23,000 souls, lies on the Alzette and Petrusse riverB, which join on the east side of the citadel. The upper town is high "in Sonne and Luft" (in sun and breeze), standing on a great rock. The low town is sheltered beneath it. The city is remarkable, among other things, for its profuse display of roses. The German poet Goethe spent a brief period in the capital, the Luxemburg ers commemorating it by placing an explanatory plate on the house where he resided. The poet was delighted with the city, asserting, "Luxemburg resembles nothing but itself." The grand ducal palace, open to the public when the ruling family Is ab- sent, is a beautiful structure of the Spanish Renaissance period, although Its splendor has been marred by the addition of the chamber of deputies, built in 1857, and not in conformity with the original architecture. The palace Itself was built in 1572 by Count Ernest of Mansfield. Under one of its doors may be seen the mono grams of Siegfried, who founded the city, and the Countess Ermesinde, who gave its municipal freedom. Louis XIV spent some time in the palace and Napoleon tarried there in 1804. Other points of interest in the city are the remains of the former forbid ding fortresses, the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the National library, the Casino, containing a good restaurant and reading-room, the new post office and the municipal palace. Town That Hugo Loved. To the students of Victor Hugo the town of Vlanden near the eastern bor der is sacred from the fact that the Frenchman deeply loved the town. He paid five visits to it, going there in his travels and his exile. The house where he lived in 1870 and 1871 is appropri ately marked. Centuries before the Romans made a protracted stay there, building a fort on a high rock, which was called Ruomberg. Later Attila, with his hordes, drove them out, and the vic tors also gave the name to one of heights there Hunnenley, Rock of the Huns. No description of Luxemburg could be called complete without at least a brief allucion to Echternach, scene of the Dancing Procession, a religious ceremony that dates back several cen turies, its actual inception being in doubt The practice, which takes place every Whit-Tuesday, Is believed to have sprung from an Incident in the eighth century. A strange epidemic afflicted the cat tle of the people whereby the animals suffered sharp paroxysms that gave them the appearance of dancing. The people rushed off to the tomb of Saint Willlbrord to pray for the recovery of the cattle. In their haste to reach the tomb they almost danced, as did the cows. Their herds got well. This start ed the ceremony. As many as 20,000 persons participate in the dance and an equal number are spectators.
