The hard point for inscribing and en-
craving rare stones is doubtless older
than the lathe, and was certainly used
in engraving glass during classical and
medieval times. The Flemish, Dutch,
and Germans. within the last three cen
turtles, used it with great success, as ties
titled by examples of their work still re-
naming. Diamond or other hard stone
points-or steel points similar to those
used by some glass carvers Of the present
may be employed in engraving glass
and handled in the same way as ordin-
airy grayers for metal or wood. The
glass should be coated with a mixture
Of gum and milk, on which, when dry,
n pattern may be drawn or transferred
previous to engraving. Very fine line
and Matching and stipple effects can be
produced by this method.
Some. of the specimens in the Slade
collection of the British museum are ex-
quisitely done. The great drawback to
such engraving, when delicately finished,
is that it cannot be well seen unless it is
held close to the eye and in a good light.

4 LAuGHABLE thing occurred at the
state department in Washington some
days since. Llwellyn Brown, who is still
there as chief clerk, was showing a visitor
the sights Of the building. incidentally,
he pointed out the last treaty with the
Chinese government, the first page of
which has been framed and hung up in
one of the rooms. Alter dissenting for
some time on the Chinese, his knowledge
Of them and their customs and peculiarly
Of writing, the visitor, who is a student of
Oriental languages, remarked that while
il did not make much difference to the
ordinary sight seer, yet it would be better
if the frame was turned up side down.
Mr.. Brown stammcrcd about for a while,
but soon discovered, by asking an attache
Of the Chinese legation, that they had
framed the treaty up side down. Ii was
the first time any n had remarked it,
though it had been in Mr., Browns room
for over six years, and during that time he
had never lost IN opportunity to tell all
visitors ms little story about it, frequently
explaining the treaty half Il dozen times a
day 10 visitors.

performance Of 'The Faithful

Wales entered into conversation
with Mrs. Langtry; the Princess OF
Wales had turned her back and was
talking to some one else. The
Prince plucked the Princess by the

in quite loud tone, Oh! the

The Princess turned around, sur

THE LAWYERS AND THE PA
PERS
PERS.

The advertising rates of all re-
sponsible newspapers in Nevada
for legal advertising is the amount
fixed by law, $23 per square for the
first insertion and 81 for each ad-
ditional insertion. OF late, how
ever, certain lawyers in greedy
sndeavor to secure business have
pulled down the advertising rates,
and by thus chizeling the newspa-
pers, have been able to take bust
ness at a less rate than other law
yers who are above the petty dick
ering on advertising. A newspa-
per which has two rates for legal
advertising, does an unfair thing.
by the attorney who pays full rates
For instance, the APPEAL can cite
a case where a newspaper published
. summons for $50 for one lawyer,
and charged another $40 for the
same work. In a case like this the
paper assists the cheap lawyer in
undermining the frst-class lawyer.
Say a divorce case is worth 500, a
man who Is a frst-class attorney
and scorns to do cheap work, col
lects the fee of 800 and pays the
paper $50 for the advertising The
other lawyer bids to do the work
for $50, pays the newspaper SO
and pockets $50. In such a case
the discount comes out OF the
pocket of the publisher, the lawyer
makes no discount. He IS too
sharp for that. He makes a cats
paw of the newspaper, and the
publisher who lacks the sense to
see 1t, had better quit publishing a
paper. We have talked with first
class lawyers on this subject, and
they say that the legal business Is
being systematically rated by
lawyers and newspapers combining
on low rates. A lawyer who cannot
secure business without rcsortlne
to unprofessional tricks ought to
seek some business better adapted
to his calibre. The Newspaper As
ISOLATION will agree to publish the
names Of all lawyers who resort to
this method of practice, and the
Association will also furnish the
lawyers with the names o. all pa

ing at different prices for differen
