DELUDED BOOMERS.
They Go Into the Promised Land Under a
MisapnPs hansion.

Misrepresentation.
ARkASsAs CITY, KAN. Der. 25.-The
rumor prevailed yesterday among the
Cherokee Strip boomers that the presI-
dent has issued his proclamation an
nounoing that the United States land
com missioner had arrived at an agree
ment with the Cherokee Indians for the
purchase of the latter's lands, and de-
ciaring them open to settlement. Some
200 families camping just this side of the
border moved over then and staked
their claims. Late in the day Commits
sioner Jordan arrived from Tahleouah
and disillusioned the boomers with 40
uouncement that the commission had not
concluded its negotiations, and that the
government could not sell the lands.
The boomers spent Christmas il the

Manual training in SCHOOLS,

The Manchester Union makes a
strong plea for manufacturing schools.
In recent issue it said:
"The apprentice system, which form
erly afforded the means of trade educa-
doned, and is now hardly anywhere in
practical use in this country. It is a
thing of the past, and the fact that it
has been abandoned would seem to be
conclusive evidence that its day of use
fulness mas ended. Something, how
ever, must take its place. SkilIful
workers in wood and skilled workers in
metal will be needed as long as the
world stands and men live upon it, and
skill does not come by chance, If en-
ployers no longer care to take the trou-
bic of imparting instruction to youth, if
carpenters no longer find it profitable
to keep boys at work for months with
the fore-pIane and the splitfing-saw,
and if blscksmiths no longer need APP
prentices to fashion horseshoe nails, it
is still necessary that proper proper
ton of the youth of the country should
have careful training of the eye and
hand for the prosecution of these and
other mechanical industries. It is al
ready pretty clearly demonstrated that
this training must come through the
manual school, and that the results will |
be superior to those attained under the
old system. That has gone anyway.
now does the work which |
once made the apprentice profitable to
his master, and it may not be wholly an
evil that it does 80. Manual training
in combination with the work of the
is destined to be fully rec
ognized very soon as the most practical
form of education for the great majority
of the youth of the nation"

or Course Tom Laughed.

Some people appear to be born SPELL

may, never become masters of the intri-

Unable gentleman living in q Massa-

He had brother Of whom he was

The brother, who was an excellent

expression in one of his brothers letters,
he went to friend and said:

Finally an idea seemed to strike him.

Japanese as Metal workers.

The japanese are past masters in the
treatment of alloys both in texture and
color, and no better guides exist. They
achieve their grand results by the
simplest means-a judicious blending
of various metals, inlaying and pick
ling. Copper is the basis of their chief
alloys, and by incorporating with it GER
tain proportions of gold and silver they
obtain remarkable results in color
through the picking process.
But not only do they get striking eff
fects from their alloys and picking
their mode of working up the metals is
thing to be studied. For instance,
they will take six or seven plates of
different metals and alloys, weld them
together, and then, by drilling, punch
ing up and filing, get surface in
which all the metals show in a manner
which is truly wonderful. By the
range of tints at their command they
can work out on metal surface scenes
of animal life, landscapes, etc., with eff
feet never dreamt of by metal workers
in the Western world. Among some
examples recently shown in England
was q knife handle on which was q
representation of duck dipping its
head under the water of stream on
which it was swimming, the arrange
ment of the different alloys by which
it was composed, and the picking being
so well arranged, that the neck of the
duck was seen as under the water when
the handle was held in certain light.
Another example was a sword hilt on
which. some minnows not more than
one-sixteenth of an inch in length, and
each having a pair of gold eyes. were
swimming upon a gray stream, the eff
feet of their being actually below the
surface of the water being suggested
with marvellous skill. limitations of
wood, grain, and marbles were also
shown.-Je1reLeT's RepielC.

THE Parliamentary Art.

"There is no class OF artists" said q
renowned thief, who in their calling
are as dexterous as pickpockets. This
is due to double incentive. Not only
does your pickpocket find bait for eff
fort and exertion in success, but has
the added spur of fear of failure. Sue
cess means as much to pickpocket as
to any man, and failure means a great
deal more. A vocation in which the
slightest slip means loss of liberty, and
perhaps of life, will ever be apt to have
degree of expertness in its followers
not present In more reputable and safer
avenues of trade.
%Pickpockets, like poets, are born,
not made. Their nerves must be iron
and yet as sensitive as instinct. Their
hands must be as complete in makeup
and accomplishments as Herrmsnn's,
and strong as steel while light as down.
Out of the vast army of humanity who
are soldiers of the shadows only one
fourth of one per cent. can or do become
pickpockets. These form the nobility
of thieves. and are reverenced by the
burglar, The footpad, the sneak and the
CON man as of a higher class than
they. The practice of a pickpOcket
while not really at work is as constant
as that of some famed professor of the
viol or the harp. He keeps pace with
the procession. No sooner does some
jeweler invent new fastening for dia-
mond pins or studs than these men of
finest touch devise the motion which
evades its purpose.
The chief object of spickpocket, after
certainty. is speed. He cannot daily
with his victim by the hour. What he
does is to be over In q fash. Speaking
Of pins and studs, there has never been
q fastening so complex but the expert
thieves could defeat it In q motion.
They do In their business as fine work
as any Roudin, and the thief himself
could not analyze or explain its detail
His powers of execution have gone far
beyond his power of perception or re-
lation.
"A pickpocket consults his own nerv- |
Gus condition constantly. No fine lady |
ever has such time with her nerves
as this aristocrat of the outlaws. If he
does not feel right he won't work.
When he does, I've known one on the
impulse to take a car on some we'll
dressed and wealthy street, and, seating |
himself side to the window, survey the
shirt-front of every would-be passen-
ger as he came up. The moment one

With pride ami adulatiun.
And his jaunty presence did they hail
With shouts of admiration,
Just because Of the whirl

Like little pork;
They tried to imitate the whirl-

Who went and asked the pig with fear
If he'd explain the nature.
The twirl and the whirl

Then they returned in sef-disgust,
The whole brute legislature,
To think they had put their trust
In something so by nature
In q natural whirl

Every one knows about Pearline, almost

the housekeepers who use it know half that
can be done with it. We wonder if they all
know what some of the bright ones have dis
covered, that those mountains of dish-wash
lng-the greasy pan and kettle-may be re-
duced to molehills of the smallest size by the
judicous use of Pearline. Fill the roasting
pan, as soon as the gravy is poured from it,
with cold water, shake in little Pearlihe
and set on the stove. By the time the rest of
the dishes are washed, all of the grease is dis
solved and the pan can be washed as easily
as plate. Treat the kettle in which any
thing greasy has been boiled in the same
way, and beside clean utensils you will have

Notable Application Of Mater Pow.

notable Application OF water Power.
Some interesting features are noted
in the power equipment of the Tread
well mill, Alasks-the largest quartz
mill In the world, consisting of 2z0
stamps, 96 concentrators, II ore crush
ers, ETC., and requiring about 500 horse
power. ALI of this machinery, covering
several acres OF ground, is run By q
single wheel 7 feet in diameter, operat-
ing under a head of 400 feet, making
235 revolutions, and using $50 cubic
feet of water per minute, this being dis
charged through q nozzle 3-31 inches In
diameter; with q 4-inch nozzle this
wheel will work up to 735 horsepower.
Regulations is afforded by the use of q
DETECTING nozzle operated by q by
draulic governor; the nozzle is about
four feet long with q ball-joint at the
butt end, and to the discharge end is
attached by lever connections an auto
matte hydraulic regulator, which varies
the amount of water applied to the
wheel as may be needed to adapt it to
varying loads-a device which affords
peculiarly simple, sensitive, and salts
factory regulation. With such an ar
rangement, and in such location, the
advantage Of water-power is conspicu-
GUS. Thus the wheel above mentioned
weighs but 800 pounds, and the entire
equipment, embracing shafts, boxes,
driving pulley, etc, only about 1900
pounds; on the other hand, a steam
machinery plant, to give the maximum
capacity of such wheel, would not
weigh less than 200 tons, and the ex-
pense of running such plant would be
almost immeasurably greater.-Mini111

Eugenie's Son Was Shot In the Back By
Zulu Savages.

Zulu Savages.
have recently had very interesting
interview with an English gentleman
who was present In Zululand at the
time of the death of the Prince I'm.
perial, and who knew the young gentle
man well, besides being personally &C.
quainted with all the details of the
catastrophe. He was not much inn
pressed by the character and manners
of the Inflated Prince himself, describ-
ing him to me as q very full-fedged
specimen of the most obnoxious type of
fast young Partisan society man. Be-
sides which, he was possessed with an
overwhelming idea of his own import
ance, and insisted always on taking the
command of every expedition in which
he was included.
The fatal fray in which the unfortu-
nate youth lost his life owed its whole
success for the Zulus to the fact of the
Princes party being taken by surprise.
Everybody ran away on the sudden at
tack of the savages, and it was owing to
a broken girth that the Prince failed to
make his escape with the others. There
were only five Zulus concerned in the
attack, and they all belong to one
family-a father, his three sons and his
son-in-law. They stripped the body of
their victim, leaving nothing behind
but a gold locket suspended around his
neck, and which the Zulus thought con-
tanned a charm.
My informant told me that, for him,
the most trying part of the whole bust
ness was the interview which the EN-
press Eugene insisted upon having
with him after his return to England.
She asked the most minute questions
about the Princes death. being espe-
cially anxious to know if the fatal
wounds were not dealt him in front.
But, unfortunately, they were all in his
back. Then she wanted to be told that
he had died fighting for England, and
the Englishman was compelled to assure
her that such was not the case. But,
at least, Mr.. x, you can say 1t was"
was the unhappy mothers suggestion.
1t did not occur to her, poor lady, that
an English gentleman has a natural OBJ
lection to telling lies on any subject
whatever.-PariS letter to Philadelphia
