SOME RARE ETCHINGS.
Facts about these Treasures of Art
and Those Who Make Them.

'-The word etch is from the Greek
and means to eat," Etching in the
mo1ern acceptatiOn of the term signifies
an impression from a metal plate, the
lines in which have been eaten out by
aquafortis or nitric acid. The etcher
first has a perfectly smooth copper plate.
This he covers evenly anu carefully
with parafiine or other soft wax. a
needle or sharp pointed instrument,
sometimes called a stylus, is then used
by the artist 20 draw the lines cOnStitu-
ting the picture he wishes to produce.
The wax is thus scraped away IN lines
of varying magnitude, each stroke of
the needle laying bare the metal under
the wax. After the details of the draw
ing have been attended to with Just as
much mathematical and artistlcal ex-
actitude as is devoted to valuable
painting or water color, the plate as
prepared is placed in a bath of nitric
acid. In about half an hour it is taken
out and the sections where but light
lines and colors are desired are recover
ed with wax. Then the plate is put
back in the acid, which has no chemical
power over the wax. In short time
it is taken out again and those portions
where deeper lines than the first and
less deep than the second are desired
are covered with wax. So the process
goes on until the acid has eaten its way
into the copper to the desired depth in
every part of the plate. The wax cov-
ering the plate is then scraped and
washed off with the acid of turpentine;
the entire plate Is carefully cleaned and
examined. If satisfactory the etcher
has a plate from which numerous finish
cd works may be produced. The plate
is inkel with the finest engrayer's ink
and fine japanese paper is placed upon
the plate and by pressure reproduceS Tor
the public the results of the labor of the
artist Such is the process of etching
as universally followed today"
''Who are the greatest Of modern
etchers?"
My dear sir; that would be hard to
answer. There are many notable etch-
ers, both in Europe and America, but
on the whole, L think American etchers
are leading the world, just as American
wood engravers are acknowled to carry
off the palm for perfect work. The
New York Etching Club has enrolled
on its membership list most Of the nota-
ble living etchers. Among them may
mention: W. NJ. Chase, F. S. Church,
Frederick Dlelman, Henry Farrer, r.
]. Clifford, the MOrans (Peter, Thomas
and Mrs. J, J. E. Nicoll, G. A. Platt, X.
Van Elton, T. W. Wood and DIR. l.. NJ.
Yale. In addition to these Stephen
Parish, Pennell and Swayne Clifford
occupy high place. Parish, Pennel
and Plat are known among artists IS
the three strong men, but Henry Far
rer and several of the others L have
mentioned are little, if any, inferior to
them. AS to the value of their etchings,
their selling price ranges from S3 for q
rough sketch to as many thousands for
the production of a famous artist. This
collection comprises the famous New
York exhibitions of the last three
years.

capacity as our washerwOmen, for

Becky Jones Remembers Him.

: a lady mounted the steps leading to
Ludlow street Jail in New York, re-
Gently, and rang the bell. She carried
In her arm large parcel. and in reply
to the query of the keeper who an
swered the summons she said that she
wanted to see Warden Herman per-
sonally. The visitor was ushered into
the Office, and when the warden made
his appearance she handed him the
package that she had in her posses
sion. On it was written in q lady's
hand: "From Becky Jones for MIR. and
Mrs. Kiernan."
..Thls-this must be a mistake"
stammered the Warden.
is your name Mr.. Herman. and are
you the Warden here?" asked the lady.
"Yes," he answered,
"Well, then, there is no mistake
was her response. ''Miss Jones told
ne to give it to you personality" and
s"~ eft tho Jail official in g bewildred
state.
.Tden Herman has not deserted the
army of bachelors, as yet, and as his
eyes glanced over the writing on the
package he was inclined to believe that
he was the victim of joke. But he
mustered up courage enough TO open
the package, and to his surprise he
found that II contained q handsome
silver teaset. On each piece the init
ials IN. S NJ. E." were engraved.
During her forty-tiYe weeks soiorirn in
Ludlow street Miss Jones often told the
Warden that she would make him and
his wife a nice present. Mr.. Kiernan
thought her promises were worthless,
like thousands OF others made him by
prisoners, and he never regarded il
necessary to inferm Becky that Mrs.
KieFnan was a matter of the future.
While the Warden was showing some
friends his gift he received the follow
ing letter. 1t was postmarked Ballston,
n. Y, where BECKY has n comfortable
home:

The only provisio of Importance was

The only provisio of Importance was
that neither firm was to deal with an
other as regarded the American agency
To this l had no objection. About II
O'Clock we sailed forth together; he
offered to walk with me part of the
way. Happening to pass an American
bar, he said he would show me what
American drinks were like. We had
two or three for which lie paid.
We then had cab to Paddington.
from which station | had to start for
home. He wanted some fresh air so
can-e with me to walk back by the
park. He insisted on paying for every
thing that evening, so produced five
pound note for the fare, having no
change left.
Naturally the cabman had none.
Macfarlane would not hear of my pay
ing, but consented to my changing his
note for him.
| made an appointment with him for
next day, and returned home immense
ly pleased with my evenings work. If
things went well, i. meant clear profit
of many hundreds year to the firm.
When l was in bed, however, an un-
pleasant idea came into my head. Was
1t possible? But mol | dismissed the
thought. which, however. would not
be dismissed tinally. Was the note /

oneP
had heard of tricks of similar
kind often enough. Macfarlane had
not made a bad thing out Of me if he
bad palmed off a bogus note IN exchange
for my five sovereigns.

carefully. 1t appeared all right. /
was ashamed of myself for doubling
him.
Nevertheless, l went to the bank of
England next morning and had it ex-
amined. 1t was pronounced genuine.
Judge how ashamed l feltl What,
then, were my feelings when 1 caught
sight of Macfarllne standing at the
counter not two yards from me, filling
stout pocketbook with notes?
tried to slip out unobserved, fear
ful lest he had seen the transaction l
had been engaged in. But lie happened
to look up and caught sight of me.
My only consolation was the hope that
he had not seen the business on which
l had been engaged. responded to
his greeting and We walked away to-
gether.
He had received telegram that
morning from America to the effect
that his partner had started for Eng
land. So it was too late to instruct
him to bring the gold with him; for the
present Macfarlane would be obliged to
give his orders to us to lie executed
from our own stock. Fortunately, he
observed, his capital was large enough
to enable him to do so.
One point on which he insisted. which
| thought unnecessary, if not foolish,
was that no mention of his former
name should be made to my partners.
1t was mooted point with me for
some time whether had any right to
embark in transactions with him with
out informing the members of my firm

good, and the trans actions so profitable
that yielded to his condition.

combined, and are now seeking the
cooperation of earnest, unselfish
men and women in this work.
In all these towns the extension
Of the Ohio River Railroad is looked
for with dread as well as with graf
ification. The fear is expressed
that the sobriety and peace of
these communities will be dis
turbed by the influx of a more vic
ious population. Thorough organ
ization is necessary to ward off the
danger.
Is there not a pointer for capital
ssts and business men in the fact that
peace-loving localities look with
disfavor upon railroad projects, be-
cause they tear that the saloon evil
will overbalance the business ad-
vantages.

soon be power enough to pulverize
the saloon power of Parkersburg,

AT ST. MARY's / found that the
Lodge organized in October last,
with Is members, had grown to
40 in number, and / sew that the
good results of their work were
such as cannot be told this side of
eternity. Men who had been slaves
in the chains of vicious habit, have
shaken off the bonds and are now
gloriously striving to prevent 9TH
ers from falling. / struck hands
here with some who work in and
for the Lodge with the feeling that
the service of a lifetime will not
repay their debt.
These are men who can accom-
plish wonders, and they are even
now making ready to strike blow
for Gop, for HOME, for HUMANITY.

that the contiguity of the great, in
telligent, Christian State of Ohio
should be cause of alarm and re-
greet to people, rather than of
pride and graduation.
The former, however, are just
the sentiments felt by the good
people of the river cou mites of West

efforts for the peace and prosperity
of their communities, and their
patriotic endeavors to keep out the
Rum Devil that carries desolation
and ruin wherever he obtains a
footing, are in great measure baf-
fed by the unrestrained rum plum
dersrs of Ohio.
The work of the good people of
this State is rendered infinitely

Should not the Christian people Of
Ohio consider that

ought to respect?

river have done valiant service for
the redemption of West Virginia.
They are keeping an unceasing
WATCH ON THE RHINE.
And not content with this, they're
buckling on the armor to share in

ors who are carrying on their ne
farious work within our borders.
At Ceredo, Huntington and Guy

are battling in the good cause, and
at Point Pleasant there will soon
be a strong effort to arouse the ap-
athletic Christians who have for
years past allowed the whisky de-
mon to run riot in their streets.
