Too Many Dogs Spoil the Coat.

The instinct of Newfoundland dogs
to save a drowning person has been
somewhat painfully tested by an un-
lucky Frenchman. He was walking
in the country with friend who pos
sessed a magnificent Newfoundland,
and incautiously questioned the truth
of the animals sagacity. The dogs
master, veXed at the slur cast on his
favorite, gave his friend a push and
knocked him into the shallow river.
Turk Immediately sprang in, and seiz-
ing one of the tails of the immersed
mans coat, commenced to swim for
land. Unfortunately, another New
foundland, trotting along the other side
of the river, saw the affair, and also
came to the rescue. Dog number two
seized the other tail of the coat and
wished to swim to his master. Turk
held fast and struggled for his side,
and the owner of the coat cried in vain
for help. At last the coat gave way
and each Newfoundland swan proudly
home with a piece of cloth in his
mouth, so that Turks master was
obliged to plunge in himself to save
his friend.

Foreign Minister'S Dress

Carp writes in Cleveland Ledder.
"The origin of this idea Of clothes
making the foreign minister dates
lack to Ben Franklin, who appeared in
citizens dress at the courts of Europe
about the time of the formation of our
government. Later ministers. how
ever, did not follow his example, and
in 1917 American ministers wore a
"blue coat, lined with white silk;
straight, standing cape, embroidered
with gold, single breasted, straight or
round button-hole, slightly embrolder-
ed; buttons plain, or, if they can be
had, with the artillersts eagle stamped
upon them, i. G., an eagle flying with a
wreath in its mouth, grasplng light
ming in one of its talOns; cuffs EN-.
broilered in the manner of the cape;
white cashmere breeches, gold knee
buckles, white silk stockings, and gold
| or gilt shoc-buckles and three.corner@d
chapeau, not so large as those used ty
the French, not so small as those ot
the English. a black cockade, to
which an eagle has been attached,
sword, ETC., corresponding"
Picture, if you can, how our minis
ters then looked; can't.
So the custom continued until,
think, the days of Andrew Jackson
who prescribed the following change
in the interest of cheapness:
american ministers at foreign
courts shall wear a black coat with {
gold star in each side of the collar
ncSr its termination, the underclothe!
to be black or white, at the option o
the wearer. A three-ccrnered chap
eau de bras, with black cockade anC
gold eagle, and a steel, ornamente'
sword with a white scabbard."

A Grand Deed.

"Did you ever accomplish anything
in your life that might be called grand
or wholesome action that would dis
tinguish you from your fellow men,
and to which you can now look back
with pleasurable emotions" was the
rather clumsy question put by visitor
to state-prison convict.
The poor convict unused for a mo-
ment and then replied:
"Yes, | have, l once did a grand
deed that gave me distinction OF GER
tain sort, but" he addel bitterly, 81
cannot say that look back upon it
with any pleasurable emotion.
"I am very sorry" returned the vis-
itor, who was good man, that you
cannot find pleasure in its contem-
plation. 1t might afford you blessed
consolation in this, your hour of trial
and darkness. May ask what this
grand deed was?"
"Yes, you may" replied the poor
| prisoner, while his voice became chok-
ed with emotion. at was grand lar

WHOLE NO. 2l6O.

The truth regarding the biscuits OF
which the farmer partook was, tha'
they contained four or five times az
much arsenic as the young chemist
swore they did.
The commonly-accepted version Oh
this famous story has always been that
Mr.. Van Arman ate one of the orlgl-
nal poisoned biscuits just as ne closed
his final argument, and that, after
making his bow to the jury, he has
tened out of the court room and sWal-
lowed a vast quantity OF emetlcs as
soon as the door closed behind hlm
This incorrect story is said to quite an
moving to Mr.. Van Arman, as it repre-
sents him resorting to a disgracefu
trick to secure the acquittal Of his Gil
ent.

FACTORY PAINTINGS.
How Pictures in Gil Can BE Made for
n Few Dollars.

How Pictures In Gil Can BE Made for
Few Dollars.
As a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter
and friend were walking along the
streets the other day their attention
was called hy a very handsome picture
in a show-window. They stopped to
look at it, and while they were doing
so the reporter said; "By the way,
now is it that pictures can be sold for
$40 or SIS if they are genuine oil
paintings, as they are alleged to
be-"
"Did you never hear of factory
pictures - asked the gentleman.
"No," replied The reporter, "but L
have often wondered if there was not
some way of making them very rap
idly, for | think artists woull have
to be very sorely pressed for money to
allow their pictures to be sold at such
runous prices. have looked closely
at them and thought they were not
very great works of art, but did not
know how they were made They were
got chromos, am sure,
"No, they were not chromos," said
the gentleman, yet they a1e factory
pictures, and made almost as rapidly as
chromos. And to sell them with the
assertion that they are first-cla5s oil
paintings by any particular artist is a
fraud on the buyer. The way thssa
pictures are male is this: In the estab-
lishment where they are manufactured
number of stretcherS with canvas on
ready to paint are placed in row on
a rack, which is just high enough for
man to conveniently reach them
with brush while standing, Tho
artist then starts at one end of the
row, puts in little blue sky on each
of the stretchers. lie goes over them
again, puts in the clouds; again, and
puts in the trees, and so on until he
has completed the entire row of pic
lures. In this manner it is said that
an artist can paint eight or ten pic
lures per day. Another plan is to have
a large number of artists at work, The
stretcher on which certain picture IS
to be painted passes through the hands
of one artist who puts in, say the sky.
1t goes to another, who puts in the
clouds, another the outline vi the trees,
another the leaves, trees, and so on
through the entire subject. Thus, it
will he readily seen that, each artist
has but the one mixture of color to
put on, and no timeis is lost in mixing
his colors.
Another method of making them is
with stencils. The artist, if he can be
so styled, has stencil for each paltic-
ular object or part of the picture, and
puts his colorS on with it.
Yet in spite of this it cannot be de
MED that frequently there are some
very pretty effects of colOring obtain
ed. A great fault among some ar
fists is that in mixing several colors
for one given color they get this one
color muddy" as artists express it
The putting on of the colors rapidly b.

"Oil paintings they are to be sure
but of such a kind as to be only ont

of the people are unable to tell any
more about them than that they ar,

Dutch Houses.

Inc lOunudLlOl VI aDuiNiiS -
land is commenced by digging out the
earth to depth of two or three 1ee''
The excavation thus made almost I'M
mediately fills with water, Whlchls
proof of the aqueous nature OF the
Dutch soil, and would present dreadful
visions of rheumatism and ague to the
minds of most Americans. Holland
ers have no such fears, and frequently
take up their residence in a new house
as soon as the roof is OH and the glass
in the window-frames, without q
thought as to the dampness OF iioorS
and walls. 1t has been facetiously as
serted that Dutch children are born
web-footed; but, joking apart, Neither
landers may be said to be almost an
phibious in their nature.
The next operation is to drivepiles--
the straightest that can be procured
thirty or forty feet into the ground, side
by side, few inches apart, in the lines
marked out for the walls. These are
forced perpendicularly into the earth
by powerful steam-halnmer, or BY
repeated blows from a heavy weight,
alternately raised and lowered by
means of pulley and ropes, worked
by gang Of twenty or thirty laborers.
When the requisite number OF piles
are driven in, the ones remaining
above the ground are cut off level with
each other, and horizontal beams OF
oak are laid over them.
The building itself is then COM
menced by placing the bricks on the
foundation thus prepared. The back
and front of the house are never built
until the roof is on, in order that
free current of air passing through
may cause the inner and side walls to
SET more firmly and dry quicker.
When the building is completed, coarse
canvas. stretched on wooden frames, is
fitted against the walls, and upon this
!. the paper is pasted; so that no matter
t how damp the brick work behind ma!
e be, the result is an appearance of dry
t ness, which is often very delusiye
Small tiles, instead of states, are uset

+ ternal decorations are completed will

. respect, in the arrangement of thel
L houses, the Dutch differ greatly from
