The mysteries of the Japanese lac have
never been mastered by European work
men. Their artists were craftsmen Of
untiring patience, and placed by the con-
dition of feudal life above the needs of
mere money making. They were often
ennobled and always esteemed. They
were the companions of princes. They
did not hesitate to lavish ON a sword or
an ivory toggle, a screen or a minute
decoration of a sword hilt, all their artis-
tic genius in design or pictorial effect.
The modern lac is an ephemeral produc-
tion-thin in texture, with OVERLAND gid
ing of effective but not solid character.
Its panels and cabinets, rich with in
crustations, are gaudy and ill-drawn.
There is nothing in which the collector
so often goes asrray. The old Japanese
lac resists heat and cold alike. Submer-
sion beneath the sea for months does not
spoil it. 1t is built up slowly and defies
centuries of wear Chicago News.

SIMULTANEOUS affairs" between pub
lie men at Washington and at Paris show
considerable contrast between French and
American methods. If Gen. LAIRD had
challenged the Baron de Cobb, the subsc-
quent proceedings might have been more
digni6ed and high toned, but there would
probably have been less bloodshed. On
the other hand, if the French parties had
confined themselves to natures weapon -
jaw and fist-the minister would scarcely
have waited for his adversary fire. 1t is
not certain, after all, that they do not
ARRANGE these things better in France"

COMMUNISM and the senate are strange
ideas to associate together, but when a
senator advocates the theory that it is the
duty of congress to provide employment
for the people by making enormous APP
preparations for public works designed
for no other purpose, he certainly profcs.
SEES a leading tenet of the communistic
creed. This was done by Senator Miller,
of New York, in a speech in support of
the river and harbor bill.

Much OF the news from Mexico is sem
s%ational rumor, but there is enough to
establish the fact that the elements of dis
content have gathered to a head and
threaten serious disturbance if not revo-
luton. The border states cannot be thrown
into such disorder without affecting our
own frontier. II the movement is wide
spread and well concerted, the reports
from the Southern states of the republic
may be expected to prove more ominous
than any yet received, as those states have
usually been the leaders in every revolt.

Prayer Machine In n Buddhist Convent.
Some 1,2OO years ago the business
manager of a wholesale prayer firm
in the Buddhist convent of Ganga-Nor
conceived the brilliant idea of address,
ing his communications to the eyes, as
well as the ears, of the patron saint, and
constructed a prayer-machine, which, in
default of n protective patent, soon ac-
CURED a remarkable popularity. The
prayers, written on minute strips of
parchment, and preceded by a movable
address, were pasted on a large cylinder
revolving like a peanut rooster, and en-
abling the manipulation to offer up cali
graphic appeals to any desired saint at
the rate of $50 dozen a minute. The
drop in wholesale quotations was unpre-
cedented in the history of the stock mar
ket.-Dr. Felix L. Oswald.

Rabbits Foot.

Rabbits Foot Oil is rapidly coming
to the front as liniment and cure for
the many aches and pains to which
man is heir. 1t is a proprietary medi-
cine, it is true, but it is wonderful
medicine for the cures it is intended to
make. 1t is not jumped-up cure-all
to run an ephemeral course, but is a
scientific combination Of the best
medicines used in liniments, and so
blended together that no other medi-
cine has ever equaled it in the happy
effects it produces. w. ii. Patterson
& Co. are its manufacturers, and it has
to be tried but once to satisfy one of
its true merits. Mr. Patterson took
the blue ribbon upon his Rabbits
Foot Oil and his display also-quite
an honor achieved and worthy his
wonderful medicine. tt
