Many of the so-called applications of
chemical science TO the arts were first
made by persons who were entirely
ignorant of science and who did moi
know the meaning Of the word chemis-
try. Five hundred years ago tanners
who did not know that a raw hide con.
tanned gelatine and were ignorant Of the
fact that tannin would render it insolu-
BILE produced better leather than is made
anywhere in the world to-day. The
stonemasons of the middle ages who did
not understand the union made by
silicious sand and quicklime made NOR
tar that is stronger now than the rocks
it binds together. The ignorant Hindoos
on the banks of the Ganges and the wild
Arabs in eastern Asia made steel that is
worth its weight in gold.
Quite too much Is claimed for science
as a promoter of the useful and decora-
tive arts. 1t explains many processes,
but it produces very few that are new.
Medical science, if indeed there is any
such science, is little more than a classi-
fcation Of the remedial discoveries made
by empires.

Pioneer Establishment.

The holiday attractions at the business
house of Zehner, Jackson & Buechner.
Sixteenth and Ferguson streets, are daz-
cling and ~bewildering. Brilliant dia-
monds, sapphires, emeralds, and other
precious gems, fash in the most tempt
ing way before the eyes of the purchaser.
Gold watches Ct the most exquisite
workmanship, hut especially those charm
ing Swiss time pieces, made by Patek
PHILIPPE. of Geneva, are displayed at
prices running from 1925 down to $40.
Elegant jewelry sets there are in stock,
from a superb diamond and sapphire set
at 81 300 to more modest but handsome
sets at $l5. Diamond bracelets flash
their value from $500 to $50, and soil
taires from 5000 to 500. The ladies find
here silver tea-sets worth from $500 to $25;
French clocks imported by the firm, Paris
and Vienna novelties in bronzes. The
great feature ofthe house is its manufac-
turing department, the only one in fact in
the territory, supplied with the best mod
ern machinery for producing the most
elaborate and expensive designs at short
notice. This firm succeeded Joslin 4
Park. who established the house in 1867,
and their especial pride is the fact that
they sell nc snide goods, have no plated
iewelry. and no gold in stock under four
teen carat fine.

The Good Spiders Do
fBoston Budeetl

DIR. q. Keller, of Zurich, claims that
spiders perform an important part in the
preservation of forests by defending the
trees against the depreuations of
aphides and insects. He has examined
a great many spiders, both in their
viscera and by feeding them in captiv-
ity, and has found them to be voracious
destroyers Of these pests; and he be-
lieves that the spiders in a particular
forest do more effective work of this
kind than all the insect eating birds
that inhabit it.
He has verified his views by obserya-
tons on coniferous trees, a few broad
leaved trees and apple trees. An i'm
portant feature OF the spiders opera
tons is that they prefer dark spots, and
therefore work most in the places which
vermin most infest, but which are likely
to be passed by other destroying agents.

Mr.. Gladstone In Congcrsation.
49, Wal. W,-id HN

lNHtN AFff
NJ. Gladstone, having given up his
recent morning occupations Of reading
tho lessons In church and cutting down
a tree, is in splendid yigor on the old
stumping ground and is personally TO
ceiyed with all the old enthusiasm,
though Chamberlain's quick chariot
wheels are leaving his political doctrines
far behind. While Radical opinions
ripen everywhere. f~rost-nipped Wing.
gerry pines itself away. He is himself,
however, admittedly in full fettle-the
voice clear and resonant, the wonderful
face the same, strong, intense, full OF
force, but withal tender, delicately lined
and p%ensive.
We ha, o two portraits of him, n at
3l and n at ~, but no portrait gives
you an idea of it. No portrait can, for
II is a face in motion. The late Mr..
Samuel Ward, who WAS a guest with
him ut Dalmeny on his first stumping
pilgrimage, and for whom Mr.. Glad
stone at once conceived that affection
ate liking which that genial and accom-
plished American gentleman always
inspired, was never weary of dwelling
on that face. AS he converses in pri-
vata, he used to say, 1t speaks as elo-
quently as his tongue. AS he stood at
the end of the piano, slipping his after
dinner tea with us in the quaint old
Scottish drawing-room of Dalmeny,
nothing but a series Of instantaneous
photographs could have given the face
or rather score of Gladstonian faces Of
the ten minutes of conversation.
The facial expression varies with
c. cry thought of this many-thoughted
man. His thought WAS acted. Sur
prise, pleasure, interest, disdain, pity
called different features into play in his
Protean countenance. Eyes, nose,
chip, all spoke not only SO, but the
whole body, so that his conversation
was like a solo with an orchestral ac-
compartment. Hands, feet, the entire
man, accompanied the flute-like voice in
n conversation which was not epi5ram-
matte but sometimes involved; flowing
along at times like a level lowlard
stream, with many serpentine windings.
yet always forcible and clear. When
his face is serious, the inner lights seem
momentarily put out. He seemed then
to apply a brake to the thought-train,
and every feature was pulled up into a
portrait-like repose.

In the block Just below the corner of
Seventeenth and Ferguson streets, so con-
spicuous by the large gilt sign over the
doorway, everybody who wants to buy
new clothes can see displayed the large
and varied stock that Smith & H%arring-
ton have laid In for the holidays. The
particular thing about the stock is the ex-
cellence of the material and the reasona-
Bile prices. In addition to clothing the

In London you lind at rare intervals
a red post of cast-iron hat has a dial
at the top covered with plain glass and
behind the glass is a knob like a door
bell. There is a printed warning there
directed to you. 1t doesn't tell the
reader to postpone literary pursuits and
pull the knob as quick As he can, but it
places before him a formidable array Of
penalties that viii ensue if he happens
70 be wrong in his idea that a IRE is
breaking out. Aewgato and the gal
lows yawn ahead of him.
If he is willing to take all chances he
has TO break the glass and then risk
cutting an artery in getting at the knob.
How a Londoner breaks that glass |
have nevor been able to ascertain. There
is nothing on the street 10 do it with.
The probabilities are that he uses the
universal umbrella il he ever could
summon up courage to tamper with it.
What really happens, however, is this.
The man who discovers a fire doesn t
turn on an alarm. lie hunts up a
policeman at great loss of valuable
time. lie places his reasons for imagin-
ing that a fire is breaking out before
that officer and the policeman goes to the
nearest post, breaks the glass with his
club and pulls the alarm.

CURE FOK PILES

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or nelghboring organs. At
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
1atulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture IKE perspiration, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, nllaying
the intense itching, and ~effecting a per-
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

Some parties who have recently come
in from the North Park, Colo report
the finding of n dead body from which
the head had been severed or torn off by
the coyotes. The supposition is that the
body is that of a nnchman called
Yankee who disappeared more than a
year ago and who it was then suspected
was murdered by a man named O'Brien.
The body was found by cowboys and was
at the time lying on the bank of a creek
not far from an old cabin long since de-
serted.
