his fingers out in the ring and held it off
admiringly. ''They are ladies' garters.
Very handsome and tony. Leather
garters are very fashionable with ladies
now. Haven't you observed-but oh!
of course not; excuse me. The leather

the calf and stay always the same. The
regular size is eighteen ipches-they
never 60 beyond that, and generally
they have to be buckled up very much
smaller. 1t is very seldom a lady re-
quires the full length. You see they
are lined with soft red flannel. They
are buckled close until they sink lit
tie into the soft flesh. They don't
make ridges like the elastic will upon

comfortable. Sometimes they are
worn above the knee. Yes, men wear

1t was the Revolution that gave free
dom to journalism. The censorship Of
the press ceased in 1926. and several
periodical publications Immediately ap-
peared. just at this time the art OF
wood cutting was at its lowest ebb;
and SO, at the end of the seventeenth
century, illustrations in newspapers be-
came both rare and bad. The eight
eenth century saw great increase in
the number and excellence of carica-
lures. The trial of Sacheverell pro-
duced great many, and the South Sea
bubble was even more widely lam
pooned. Papers now began to appear
in ever increasing numbers, and some
Of them. such as the well-known Grub
Street Journal, published illustrations
from time to time. The best illustra-
tons, however, continued to be copper
plate engravings; but. as they involved
two printings, the engraving and let
terpresS being on the same page, it
was impossible for much advance to
be made till they were discarded. The
Daily Post of 1740 was one of the first
daily papers to give illustrations of
current events. During the central 10
years of the eighteenth century news
papers seem to have published no illus
trations whatever. The Gentlemdn's
Magazine, started in 1871, had an oc-
casional engraving or woodcut, but
none of any merit. 1t was not till after
the revival of wood cutting by Bewick
that the ObserUer-.'thep pioneer of mod
ern illustrated journalism made its
first appearance. Sunday, Dec. 4,
179D. That paper, abandoning engrav-
ing, availed itself of the art of the
wood cutter, and so did the Times in
the early years of the present century.

General Keller was interviewed this morn
ing upon the subject of the new government
building. The substance of the interview has
already been published from time to time.
As to the method by which the location will
be chosen the general professesses ignorance, as
yet, but will be better informed within a very
few days. When a site for the building has
been fixed upon. the next thing will be to get
the State to make over 20 the United States
all right and control over the premises, ex-
cept the right to enter thereon to enforce law
and order. These preliminaries being fin
ished, work upon the building itself will be
begun Immediately. The appropriation
which has already been made is intended
to cover the entire cost of building and
ground, slthough, the general says, another
appropriation may. perhaps, be gotten for
use in furnishing the building. This, how
ever, is problematical. General Keifer prom
ises further particulars in few days.

one OF Mr. Cushman's very DIST efforts, and is
indeed most picturesque and faithful repre-

A Japanese House.

In describing the Japanese village at
nightsbridge, the London Telegraph
says: The houses are built of wood
and bamboo. and stands on posts rails
ing them about eighteen inches above
the ground. The floor is composed of
thick rush mats called tattams, each
five feet ten inches long by two feet ten
inches wide. The size of the house is
invariably determined by the number
of these mats used. and a Japanese. in
giving an order for the construction of
a house, would at once indicate the
kind of structure he required by saying
that it must be SO many mats in area.
Thus. an ordinary house will have the
floor covered with three or four mats,
whereas that of wealthy person might
have twenty. Commonly the buildings
have only one floor, but sometimes an
other is added and one of these is
erected here. Access to the second
floor is obtained by ladder inside, and
there is small balcony running round,
intended however for ornament and not
for Use. The fronts of the houses con-
sist of sliding frames filled with paper,
and all the windows are also of paper,
and very thin texture. Each house
has its shrine inclosing agod, and some
of these shrines are very elaborate and
beautiful pieces of workmanship. The
internal decorations usually consist of
paper. printed or painted with flowers
and various designs, but in some cases
there are also most ingenious and beau
tiful effects produced by means of en-
oossed paper and silk.

A Lucky Escape.

Saturday night about o'clock the patrol
wagon was summoned to South Factory
street. where a man had driven bis horse and
buggy down the steep embankment on to the
Little Miami railroad, at point about halt
way between the Factory and Mechanic street
bridge. At the station house the man en-
tered the name OF DR.. John Wilson, although
he is no more John Wilson than he is Presi-
dent Cleveland. In reality, he is a well
known country doctor who, once in a while,
takes little too much of the stuff which
"biteth like serpent and stingeth like an
adder" 1t appears that the doctor had been
out to see some patients, and, after making
his professional visits, started for town in a
condition which may have been blisstul but
certainly was not dignifed. When he
reached the south end of the Factory street
bridge either the horse scared and SHE'D, or
John Wilson pulled him sharp round to the
left, and the doctor proceeded to tske drive
which in all probability has never been taken
before and which the doctor could not ac-
complish again. He drove along the left side
of the track, occasionally taking little slide
by way of variety, until he had accomplished
upward of half the distance between Factory
and Mechanic street bridges. Here the bank
became too steep and horse, driver and buggy
rolled and tumhled head over heels and
brought up in confused heap on the railroad
track, twenty-five or thirty feet from the
starting point. The buggy was totally de-
molished but horse and driver escaped almost
uninjured. The horse was taken to Brenner's
stable and Wilson to the station house,
whence, after putting up $40 bail, he started
for home on horseback, wiser but to all
appearances not a whit sadder man. The
only damages sustained were a scratched
hand, bunged head, broken buggy and a
lost medicine case.

Decision in the Lasonda school Matte,

Decision in the Lagonda school Matter.
The county commissioners met at their
room at ten o'clock this morning, present
Rawlings, Kitchen and Stsrrett, for consulta-
ton and to render their decision in the mat
ter Of the Lagonda school district transfer,
submitted Friday. The following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the action of the board of
education OF Moore6eld township in trans
terrine certain territory to the school district
of the city Of Springfield for school purposes,
and the action of the board OF education OF
Springfield township in transferring certain
territory to the school district OF the city OF
Springfield for school purposes, and the ac-
ton of the board OF education OF the city OF
Springfield in accepting the same, be and the
same is hereby approved:
Notice of filing of exceptions to the de-
cision was given on the part of the protesters
but il is understood the action is inal SO far
as the Commissioners are concerned. All
that is now done must be through the courts,
in the way CT injunction proceedings. The
strong point with those who signed the pro-
test was that the people OF at least the re-
motest sections OF the sub-district would be
deprived of some school facilities, but the
Commissioners considered that, if the city
failed at any time to furnish proper facilities
action could be brought before them compell-
ing it, as was the case not long since in Ger
man township. They further considered that,
as matters list, additional room was neces-
ssry, the Lagonda building being already
over-crowded. That the whole township out
side the city would be taxed to provide this,
while in the nature of things it could not be
long before the city controlled the territory,
even though possession were not given just
now. The Board held that the several school
boards had fairly examined the matter and
had acted for the best
