Training of the Partisan Artisan.

In Paris the highest perfection of the
building trade is attained. The city,
as building centre, Is the queen of
the world: Every thing is artistic, from
the beginning of the building to the
last stroke of the painters brush.
Every artisan and mechanic in Paris
is an artist. He has every opportunity
to develop his taste for the beautiful
III art, for Oh every side he sees every
thing done with a view to the artistic
and the beautiful For the French
mans benefit and education, the state
maintains museums, art galleries and
gardens which are free to all corners,
and the Partisan workman avails him
self to the fullest extent of these oppor-
tunities AS IA consequence he be-
comes not only better mechanic, but
an artist. American methods of build
ing compare favorably, however, with
those adopted i'll Europe, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, that there the solid
ity of construction is greater, and that
pains are taken to carry out the idea
of the architect, even in the smallest

The other day, while the rain was
pouring down, citizen left the post
office to encounter an acquaintance
who was also sheltered by an UNI
brella.

"Heyl"
Raining, isn't it,"
''I'd like to see you moment" was
the reply. Come upstairs"
The two passed up, traversed the
dark hall to the darkest corner, and
then No. 2 turned to No. 1 with:
do you take me for an Internal i'd

Ever since the establishment of the
United States mint at Philadelphia the
law has required the government Of
ficials in charge of that institution to
render a strict account of all dies en-
graved, used, broken or damaged, and
a complete detailed list of every die in
their possession at the end of every
year. These dies are taken in boxes
to the FORCES below the mint, and there
every one of them, from that which
has coined the humble copper" to
that which has created the aristocratic
golden eagle, must, according to in
structions from the treasury depart
ment at Washington, ''be utterly de-
stroyed by forge and sledge."
This process, which involves consid-
cradle time, as all the dies used, either
at the mint in San Francisco or Phila.
delphia, must be handled separately
and all destroyed here, is watched
closely by designated officials, the su
perintendent, chief coiner, assayer and
chief engraver
The dies are of steel, circular in
form and about four or five inches in
length. These are placed in the fir
at the FORCES, and when at a white
heat are taken out, placed upon thu
anvil, and then the beautifully en-
graved faces smashed into dull, bat
tered mass by the sledge hammer. =

Major or Minor?

Corelli was leading the performance
of composition of Scarlatti's, when,
in a passage that was probably not
we'll written for the violin, he made a
very conspicuous mistake, while Pc
trillo, the Neapolitan leader, who was
familiar with the passage in question,
executed it correctly. Then came a
piece in the key of G minor. Corelli,
already disconnected, led it off in G
major. 'Ricominciamo!" Uet us be-
gin again. said Scarlatti, with his
usual politeness, and poor Corelli
started once more in the major; so
that Scarlatti was at last obliged to
point out his mistake. Corelli felt this
incident as a great humiliation and
left Naples Immediately. Returning
to Rome, he found that new violinist,
Valentino. had won the admiration of
the public, and, considering himself
sighted and superseded, took it so
much to heart that his health began to
fail.-Sir George Groves Dictionary

Treatment of Cancer.

A new treatment of cancer advoca-
ted by DR.. J. Mortimer Granville con-
sists in very frequent administrations
of papain and thallin and their COM
bination in the form of pills. The aim
is to get absorption of the drug, not
local action on the stomach. In can
Ger of that organ DR.. Mortimer Gran
vile gives, besides the pills, papain
suspended in water with thallin and an
alkali. The patient must be fed ex-
clusively on vegetable diet. The
vitality of the morbid growth seems to
be depressed by saturation with the
thallin and papain, locally, and this is
effected by applying a strong paste of
the two drugs in combination, or,
where practicable, by their Injunction.

The Corpse of COnjusal Love.

The corpse of conjugal love is an
awful corpse. Not long ago married
woman asked me for SO. She said her
husband had money, but she wouldn't
ask him for dollar if she never got
any. There is a corpse i'll that house.
The husband is stingy and tyrannical,
the wife is proud and sensitive; and
SO love got sick soon after the mar
riage and fingered and languished and
died. A man ought not to force his
wife to ask him for money. 1t does
humiliate woman. 1t makes her feel
her helplessness, her dependence and
smothers her equality. The husband
ought to anticipate her wants if he is
able. The money or the bank account
ought to be at her disposal at all times,
for she will spend less of it foolishl y
than he will. A very considerate wife
told me that it was her greatest trial
t. ask her husband for money. though
ne was always kind and never refused.
And l suspect there is many good
wife who is Inundated in the same
way.-Bill Arp i'll Atlanta Constitu-

Photographic Records of Temperature.

A novel method of determining the
temperature of the air at great heights
has been proposed by German physi-
cist and is to be adopted by the Berlin
Society for ballooning. Small balloons
are sent up at night, each provided
with thermometer arranged to give
flashes of light by the closing OF an
electric circuit when certain tempera-
lures are reached. A SO called photo
theodolite' is effected by the light and
gives a Photographic record of the
temperatures, while the corresponding
attitudes are indicated in mechanical
way. A more accurate idea of the rate
of decrease of temperature with height
is expected with this method. New
