The HORROR Of HOOKING.
Degrading, Disgraceful
and Inhuman.
THE POOR HOUSE OVER

The Sentinel, for reasons, neither

The In6rmary is Che offspring of
the warmest impu'es Of. humanity,
| and the cardinal virtue of religion
-th harity. 1t Is an institution In
tended to be q home, a refuge, a
hospital for the poor, the helpless
and the afflicted.
Our money for its maintenance
is given as freely as God dlspenses
the dews and rain from Heaven
We even bond our county for the
purpose of obtaining the means by
which the poor and the orphan can
be decently taken care OF.
Now to the issue.
Is the spirit ard purpose of the
law in establishing an Infirmary,
carried out by the present manage
ment?
Is the tax We pay TO sustain the
institution applied in the interests
of huns nifty as designed?
We say not.
The butter, the apple butter. the
best hams, the choicest produces Of
farm and garden, are brought TO Lo
gan and soli, and the poor arc fed
on fat meat and dry bread.
This is mercenary.
A Ram belonging to The Super

of the Institution.
This is zALgar.
A woman wanders off and IS not
sought after by The Superintendent
under whose charge she was placed,
until after ten days, She's report

This is gross NEGLIGENCE.

A poor, blind woman chsttcrs

A Samoan Belle.

Hugh Romilly, in his work or New
Guinea, describes Samoan ballroom
belle. My partner at once rushed into
conversation in broken Englisll-''My
name Martha. What your name?" She
was dissatisfied with my first name,
but accepted the second on being told
that my friends never addressed me by
it. She said it would be agreeable to
know me by name which she would
consider her own property. Come" l
thought, "this is making the running. "
Her next remark was starter. 90,
deari'' she said, give me a glass of
lum" (rum). Though a beverage
seldom seen at balls, the Chinese host
knew the taste of his guests, and rum
was provided in ample quantities.
Martha seemed to enjoy hers, and she
proposed to walk in the garden after
ward; but first she made him take sip
out of her glass. Martha's affection,
real or assumed [ L fear the latter, now
took different turn. On reaching the
garden she seemed not so much affected
by the romanIc nature of the situation
as by a desire to annex my shirt-studs.
II beg OF you your studs" she said.
'sVery bad manners gentleman refuse
lady," 1 thought so, too, and handed
them to her, when they were slowed
away in a most business like manner In
the nightgown. 1 thought myself JUS
tiled after this in making the conven-
tionaI remark, 81 suppose you like the
balls?n She replied promptly: "1es.
No like dance; like talk, gentleman
make me present."

Fun With Flaminsoes.

"They re funny fellows, / can tell
you,n the captain declared. II met
a man down the coast who told me
that once when he was huntin' on the
Florida low-lands he came upon a
whole colony of famingoes among the
mangroye trees. He watched their
antics for some time-some standin' on
one leg, some with their long necks In
all sorts of curious positions, some
stalking up and down as solemn as
parsons-and he thought it wouldn't
be a bad idea to play a joke on them.
$50 he took fish-line, and when the
birds flew away he fastened one end OF
the line to the root of a tree and
climbed with the other end up into
another tree.
aBefore long the birds came back,
and then the fun began. As soon as
one or two stepped across the line, the
man in the tree gave it pull, and the
flamingoes began hoppin' and trippin'
and dancin' about, now fallln' down.
now jumpin' across and really seemin'
to enjoy it immensely. He actually
had 'em all a-skippin' rope, and there's
no tellin' how long they'd "a kept it up
if 1T hadn't been so very funny that
INV friend couldn't help laughin' out
loud: that frightened them of. That
may seem rather a brisk story" SAID
CAPTAIN Sam; "but, from what I've
seen of my specimen, fully believe

Early Venetian Azzimina.

The Venetian work differs in several
important particulars from Its forerun-
ners. The most striking popularity Of
Mosil and Mamluk work is the richness
of the silver land sometimes gold) inlay
which covers the greater part of the
surface, in plates of various shapes and
SIZES, which are let into the brass and
then chased on the surface with the
faces, fur or feathers, of the men, beasts
and birds, which the design represents.
In Mamluk work the large surfaces OF
silver inlaid in Arabic inscriptions, de-
manded Infinite care In fitting and un-
dercuttiDg the edges of the bed into
which they were let, to prevent them
from falling out. In Venetian metal
work this difficulty was avoided by re-
strlcting the inlay to comparatively
narrow lines and securing it in differ
ent manner. In the older Mosil and
Mamluk work the silver plate was held
only by the close fitting OF the slightly
undercut edgesof its bed. In Venetian
inlay the surface of the bed was toOthed
with little projecting notches which
penetrated into the silver, and helped
luc luluCtCut duu oilSulll SCIlANCA llLu
to keep it in its place. Another differ
ence between the Venetian and the
older Mamluk inlay is the mode of pro-
ducing variety In the effect The olderar-
fists trusted to the contrast of metals 10
produce this variety; but the Venetian
Siracens, employing much smaller
quantity of silver, effected the same re-
suit by relief. Tie main design is
raised. not by beating out from the
back, but by cutting away all the rest
of the surface. The raised design may
be inlaid or not; 1t the former, it con-
sists of thread OF silver let in between
two thin walls or brass, all being above
the general level OF the surface. The
designs of the Venetian artist were
mainly arabesqGe, for his teachers, the
Mamluks, had passed from the stage of
figure ornament to that Of geometrical
and arabesque decoration, before the
Venetians began to learn the inlayer's
art. But apart from the decoration
AMI the process Of inlay, the Venetian
work is semi-European. Its forms are
markedly different from the somewhat
crude outlines OF Eastern vessels, and
were changed to suit Italian taste, and
European coats of arms are sometimes
introduced in the eeentres Of salyers and
the like. !

Use of Roofs as Dormitories.

One OF the features of life in the tene.
ment districts in hot weather has long
been the use of the roofs as dormitOries.
The practice has extended to the French
ilat district, New York. The tenants
of many of these buildings turn their
roofs into moonlight picnic grounds and
eat, drink and make merry under the
stars rs gaily as if they were miles away
from town. They sling hammocks be-
tween the posts to which the clothes
lines are strung and make coucheS
against the chimneys. The pet pug
and the toy terrier chase the cats and
Irritation goes on right merrily amid the
twinkle of cigarettes and the popping of
champagne corks. A now extinct maga-
zine once published an essay on what to
do with our roofs, suggesting their con-
version into gardens, that the tenants
could enjoy life out of doors without
going to the country for it. The gar
dens have not been laid out yet, but
now that the charms of the roof have
been discovered it is not unlikely that
some builder will take the idea up. The
big Chelsea flats in Twenty-third have,
by the way, play ground for the child
ren of the house up where the windows
of the twenty-iifth story look out among
the clouds.
