Shadows underneath thestFee

Playing Et their g2snes, nodoubt-

All day long together so
Lightly o'er.the ground they so;
Meet and separate and meet,
Scsnper down the shadow street;
For an instant here, and then
Just as quickly gone again
When with clouds the sldeSaare gray
In their house the sh6dowSsytay
With their picture books ard toys,
Like ali other girls and boysi
But as soon as shines the sun
Out of doors they gladly run
So for horTs they play Until

And the winds theircr2dlcs swing

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Here IS description
Of dish quite worthy of immortality.
found it in Russia. 1t consisted of chicken
rice and tomatoes. The chicken was
boiled and cut up and served on a large
chatting dish. Under each piece of chicken
was little mound Of rice, and over all a
sauce of tomatoes, boiled thick 1t makes
a pretty dish too.
A dish which / claim to have invented
myself and did, as far as | know, is made
thus: Take quart of nice onions, peel and
slice them. Have a quart of good ripe to-
matoes Canned will do and slice them
also Have box of small soda biscuit at
hand put a layer of onions, one of toma-
toes and one of crackers alternately, until
the deep basin is full, with cracker on the
top. Salt and pepper and a generous
quantity of butter should be added. Bake
four hours, adding a very little water if at
any time it would seem too dry. Let no
one think this is rank with onion, for it
isn't. Everything is blended into one har-
monious whole, and it is good, besides.
Among the famous foreign dishes is Turk.
ish pilaf, which is made very simply thus:
Take three-Quarters of a poe.ld of rice,
wash il and put it in a kettle with one
quarter of a pound of butter, and let it fry
until the butter has all absorbed into the
rice. Then set it aside few moments I'M
til you can rub through a colander one
quart of tomatoes, canned or raw. To this
juice and pulp add one quart OF water and
put it to boil, and as soon as it does, ado
your rice, with salt and pepper to taste,
and let it boil slowly. tightly covered, until
done without stirring being careful not
to let it burn. When done, brown another
quarter of a pound of butter, and pour
over 1t just as it is to bs served. l.. d.

The Study of Literature.

Cardinal Newman was one OF the many
eminent men who have used abstracts as
an aid to study. He drew up a summary
of every book he read, together, in many
cases, with a statement of his own views
upon it. Mr.. Gladstone, it may be added,
does something of the same kind. He reads
a book, pencil in hand, marking of on the
margin those passages which he wishes TO
remember, querying those about which he
Is in doubt, and putting cross opposite
those which he disputes At the end Of the
volume he constructs kind OF index Of his
own, which enables him to refer to what
he wishes to remember in the book.
Mr.. Gladstone is thus an advocate Of
marginal marking. The great Sir William
Hamilton was in favor Of underscoring
Intelligent undermining" he said, gave
a kind Of abstract of an important work.
and by the use of different colored inks to
mark difference of contents and discrim
mate the doctrinal from the historical or
illustrative elements of an argument or
exposition the abstract becomes an analy
sis very seryiceable for ready reference"
But this assumes, "a Mr. Morley remarked
in his lecture on The Study of Litera-
ture." that the book 20 be operated on Is
your own, and perhaps il is rather too
elaborate counsel Of perfection for most
Of US. Even Cardinal Newman's plan is
probably more than most people care to
adopt,

Oil Painting Factories.

NEW YORK, Oct. GA familiar peddler
is the man who comes upon you with a
huge oil painting in heavy gilt frame,
and who, after Offering you his art treas
ure for sl00, drops his prices step by step
until he reaches $40, at which, if refused,
he goes off in high umbrage. Sometimes a
bid of IS will be accepted, but not often.
The pictures are oil paintings done by
hand, and not chromos. While most of
them are villainous daubs few possess
considerable merit. Their cheapness is the
result of very ingenious system which,
started in Germany, now finds full devel-
opment in New York city. The picture
factories where thess works of art are
turned out are in the top lofts of high
buildings on or near the Bowery. These are
so high, hot and dry that the canvases dry
rapidly, and the rents are very low.
The factory manager purchases or hires
good oil painting. for which he is willing
to pay, and usually does, a very fair price.
An expert counts all the leading colors in
the picture, and with fine pencil traces
the outlines of each color upon a sheet of
transfer paper. These outlines are trans
ferred to stencil boards and cut ont with
sharp knife. The number of stencils is of
course that of the colors, and varies from
four to twenty. Thirty sheets of cheap
canvas properly stretched are laid one by
one upon a special table, covered with a
stencil, and the color brushed in As fast
as stenciled it is hung upon the wall by q
boy and followed by the next. BY the time
that the last canvas reaches the wall the
first is dry and ready for the second stencil.
In a wonderfully short time there are
thirty copies Of the original, whose pro-
ductiou has required tbs labor of one man
and one boy. The outlines, however, of
each color are ragged and blurred. An
artist" now takes the copies in hand and
'blends" the lines. They are then var
nished, framed in cheap gilt wood and plas-
ter holdings. and are ready for the mar
ket. The artist" is paid so, the man 50
and the boy e per week. The materials
are inexpensive and the other elements Of
cost very slight. The original picture, il
hired, is returned. and if purchased re-
sold. Upon this basis it is easily under
stood how the copy can be sold proftably
for $40, and how the peddler wakes crazy
with delight when he induces an ignoramus
70 yield up $50 for the treasure. F.

ANOTHER PACKAGE DECISION

PIERRE, S. D.. Dec 19-In the cele-
brated original package case of the state
of South Dakota VS.. George II. Chapman
and William Roller, writ of error, the su-
preme court rendered the following de-
cision: This was an action wherein the
defendants were informed against in the
county court of Lincoln county for keep
ing common nuisance by selling lntoXI-
eating liquors as a beverage. Defendants
applied for a change of judges, on the
ground that the judges were preJudiced
The application was denied. verdict OF
guilty was rendered. aud each sentenced
TO pay fine OF $50 and to be i'm
prisoned for sixty days. Upon the right
of the defendants TO have change OF
Judges on the ground of prejudice, the su-
Dreme court saws: 'The statute does not
allow defendant to change the judge unless
the court IS satisfied that the prejudice
and bias is so great that an impartial trial
cannot he had. " The fact of the sale OF In
toXicating liquors by defendant was clear
ly established by the evidence, but the eff
feet of our state constitution and the laws
regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors
WAS alleged by defendants to have no force
or effect on them because they were sell
ing in original packages. After full re-
view of all the evidence in the case, the
court, in well considered and elaborate
opinion, holds that in order for the defense
the supreme court of the United States in
the case of Lucy VS.. Hardin, commonly
known as the original package case, they
must show: O) That they are foreign i'm
porters or the agents of foreign importer
of beer or liquors; ~ that as such
agent, they received an importation
of beer or liquor from another
state or foreign country; (3) that they are,
AS such importers or agents, selling this
importation by the original, unbroken
package in which it was imported; a.
that they are not making their house of
business a tippling concern or rendezvous
OF persons, bringing it within the police
power Of the state 20 declare 1t a nuisance
All these facts must be fully established
by the defendants in order TO make the
transaction legitimate under the decision.
The failure TO establish any ofthese propo-
sitions makes a seller of intoxicating liq-
uors amenable to this state law The
court further holds that when bottles of
whisky or beer, each sealed up in a paper
wrapper and closely packed togetherin un-
covered wooden boxes marked TO the ad-
dress of the agent and shipment from one
state to another, the wooden boxes and
not the bottles constitute the original
package within the meaning of the decls- !
ion of the supreme court of the United |
States The court finds the defendants
have failed to establish such facts as will |
entitle them TO any immunity from the |
penalties of the state law, and orders that |
the judgment of the court be enforced

At an annual meeting Of the American
Antiquarian society Mr.. Fl. B. Staples
read paper in which he discussed the ORR
gin of the names of several Of the states
He said: New Hampshire gets its name
from Hampshire, England. Massachusetts,
IS derived from an Indian name, first given
to the bay, signifying near the great
hills" Rhode Island has an obscure ori
gin; the island of Rhodes, the Island of
the Roads" and Dutch origin, Red Isl
and" were mentioned, the first seeming to
have the best historical support. Connecti
cut is an Indian name, signifying land on
long tidal river" Virginia, the Carroll
mas and Georgia have a royal origin
Maine was named from the fact that it
was supposed to contain ''the mayne por
ton" of New England Vermont has no
especial question except that it is claimed
to have been first an alias-New Connecti-
cut, alias Vermont.
Kentucky popularly signifies either
dark and bloody ground" or "a bloody
river" but its origin signifies ''the head oi
river" or "the long river" Tennessee
comes from its river, the namo being de
rived from the name of an Indian village
on the river-"Tanassee Ohio is named
after an Indian name, signifying "some-
thing great, " with an accent Of admiration
Indiana comes from the name of an early
land company. Illinois comes from the
Indian-the name of g tribe. Michigan is
claimed to mean lake country" it proba-
bly, came from the name of the lake, "Great
Lake." which bore this name before the
land adjacent was named. Louisiana is
from the French. Arkansas and Missouri
are Indian, the former doubtful; the latter
is claimed to mean in its original muddy
water" which describes the river Iowa
is also Indian, with doubtful meaning.
Texas is popularity supposed to be In
dian, but may be Spanish. Florida is
Spanish, "a fowery land" Oregon has
conjectural origin. 1t is probably Indian.
but Spanish origin is claimed
California comes from a Spanish ro-
nance of 1910 Nevada takes it's name
from the mountains, which get theirs from
u esemblance to the Nevadas of South
America. Minnesota is Indian, "sky tint
ed water" Nebraska is variously rendered
