truth is that with some few amend

How to Split Paper.

"Oh, dear! have picture printed on one side of this paper and some reading matter on the other, and wanted to save both, said a young lady recently, who was pasting scraps into book.
 "Wel, you can save both," said her friend.
 "Why, how can do that?'
 "ThcPe era two ways of splitting 8 piece of paper. One is to lay the sheet of paper on 8 piece of glass, soak it thoroughly with water and then press it smoothly all over the glass. With a lit tie care the upper half of the sheet can be peeled off, leaving the undsr half on the glass. Let this dry and it will come of the glass easily; of course the glass must be perfectly clean. The second way is better one, but it requires some good practice. Paste piece of cloth or strong paper on each side of the sheet to be split. When it has thoroughly dried pull the two pieces of cloth apart sud denly and violently. The paste can then be softened with water and the two halves of the sheet easily taken of the cloths. ."-New York Mail and Express.

A Don That "Blinked. !"

It is a queer psychological fact that highly bred settlers and pointers, with their instincts well developed, often be- come frightened at the first real opera tion of the pointing instinct and never recover from it. A local sportsman had a well bred, fancy pedigreed setter which he raised with due regard for his future usefulness in the field, and at maturity started out to give him trial on game. True to his nature the dog galloped over the fields in the merry style of his trained ancestors, and coming suddenly upon a large covey of birds he stopped at the scent of the birds in obedience to his pointing instinct.
 The dog had never seen game bird, and the odor of the cover rose so thickly about him that he was fairly intoxicated with the delightful sensation of the point" He shivered in his excitement, and so pronounced was the effect upon him that his hair rose with his sepsa- tions. Presently the birds began to rise with a noisy whir, and the unexpected sight of quails and the noise they made getting away so alarmed the dog that he turned tail and ran of to hide in the bushes. Since that time the dogs fear of birds has been so great that he always runs away from them. He will hunt diligently to find birds, and he will make his point after they are found, but the moment he stops to point he recollects his first birds, and with the most abjeot expression he steals away from the object he has worked SO hard to find. This peculiarity is by no means uncom- mon, and sportsmen have named the act blinking. g."-Chicago Tribune.

How Etchings Are Made.

No branch of art within the past few years has attracted such universal atten- ton as etching. The art of etching is not, as is popularly supposed, a new in- vention, but the revival of an art in which Rembrandt and Albert Durer excelled. The process by which an etching is made Is both delicate and difficult. It Is ac- complished by coating a copper plate with preparation of wax, upon which the artist traces with sharp instrument, called the needle or point, the lines of his picture. The plate is then immersed in acid, which eats into the lines laid bare by the needle, and the acid bath is repeated. The lines when sufficiently bitten are stopped up with fine French varnish.
 This process has been repeated more than fifty times in some plates before the proper effect of light and shade was obtained. Etching is really a drawing on plate, thus giving the genuine work of the artist as much effect as in an oil painting. It is this absolute quality of art possessed by etchings, as distinguished from the purely mechanical methods of engraving, which gives to them their value. The ink used in printing Is thick; the plate is warmed by placing it on a heated marble slab, so that the ink will flow freely enough to fill up all the lines. After mixing the plate is rubbed clean, leaving the ink only in the lines, except ing where certain effects of light and shade may be desired, not represented by the lines. These can be obtained by the skill of the printer, who can produce beautiful effects by his manipulation of the ink on the plate. There is great difference in plates in this respect, some requiring much more skill to print than others. After the plate is ready the paper, having first been dampened, is placed on it and then covered with felt.
 The press consists of an iron bed, per fectly true and level, for the plate to rest on, and an iron roller which passes over the plate, exerting great pressure, so that the paper is forced into the lines of the plate. After each impression the plate is cleaned and linked again, and the same process gone through with, so that the printing of etchings cannot be hur- ried. To insure uniformity, a sample print is before the printer to look at. This is either printed by the etcher or superintended by him. So great is the skill required to properly print etchings that less than half a dozen printers in the country have won @ reputation as being first class.
 Etchings are quite expensive, and often bring as high as S1,0O0.-New York Evening Sun.

Canxon7of tho GunnIson.

Beyond Gunnison City the railway runs through the valley of the same name, closely following the river. Soon the well worn channel grows narrower, the cliffs mount higher; vegetation is less abundant, and suddenly the sum- light is entirely shut out by broken sum- mits, and the black canyon of the Gun nison. holds us fast in its embrace. This gorge Is grander, deeper, darker and more beautiful than the Royal which we passed through earlier in the day. It is thrice as long and much more verdant, and although it's walls are of red sand stone they are sufficiently dark hued to give the place it's name. At times the canyon narrows and is full of sharp curves, but again it has long, wide stretches, which enable one to study the steep crags that tower heavenward two or three thousand feet above us. An open observation car is attached to the train, and the lovers of nature feast upon the charms of this wonderful locality.
 Currecanti Needle, the most abrupt of the towering pinnacles, stands like 8 grim sentinel, watching the canyons solitudes. It is red hued from point to base, and has all the grace and symmetry of Cleopatran obelisk. The sunlight which bathes the pine tops in golden halo never reaches down the dark red walls. Huge powders lie scattered about and project out many feet above the travel CTS heads, as though about to fall. Somber shades prevail; fitful winds sweep down the deep clefts; the rushing green hued river fills the space with sullen roar. Everything is on a scale of grand propor- tions; detail is supplanted by magnifi- cence, and ones feelings are stirred to their very depths. Cor. New York World

4 Keeper of the Truth.

4 man, dressed ill greasy overalls, went into a newspaper office and asked to see the editor When asked If the city editor or some other man on the force would not do as well, he replied that he had come on very i'm portant business, and must see the editor-in- chief When at last his persistence had forced an entrance into the room where greet policies were outlined the editor said:
 "You were determined to see me; now, as quickly as possible, state your business"
 'All right, sir. I like your paper, and want you to have chance of saying some thing that win startle the country. For some time have been engineer at Grayson's mill"-
 Well, but what have to do with that."
 Just hold on a minute. This morning the boiler exploded"-
 Go to the city editor if you want to hand in piece of news"
 q thought that would give you chance to write a startling editorial"
 Editorial the deuce! We have such acci dents nearly every day"
 No, you don't. Just give me a chance to get done, and you will thank me. No one was killed when this boiler exploded"
 ''Thats nothing strange"
 "And,n continued the visitor, mo one would have been hurt had the boiler exploded five minutes before it did"
 A strange expression settled upon the editors face. twill you please repeat that| he asked.
 q say that no one would have been hurt had the explosion occurred five minutes before it did. All other explosions that I ever heard of would have been five times as dis astrous if they had occurred a short time before, for party of young ladies or com mittee of gentlemen, or some important per sonage had, of course, just left the mill when the explosion occurred"
 The editors eyes had grown wonderfully bright. My dear friend," said he, "dear because you have chosen me to be the orig inal recipient of this great piece of intelli- gence, lead on, and I will follow you. A man with such glorious appreciation of the truth is a rare jewel Come, sit down be- side me, that may feel your presence as write. Stay by me, gentle keeper of the truth, for my mind is stirred up, and 1 fain would muse "-Arkansaw Traveller.

The Duchess.

"The Duchess" is the pseudonym of Mrs. Margaret Hungerford, an Irish lady, now living in London. Hunger ford is the name of her second husband. The story runs that her first husband, Mir. Argles, committed forgery shortly after their marriage, was convicted and sent to jail. His wife, thrown upon the world without any source of livelihood, turned in despair to literature and pro duced her first novel, Phyllis" which proved great success. Ever since she has maintained herself handsomely by her pen.-Notes and Queries.

The most gorgeously dressed woman at the court of Spain is the young kings nurse. She always wears a dress of rich black velvet, with broad bands of gold round the skirt, an apron of blue velvet, also trimmed with gold, and black vel vet bodice fastened with silver buttons. This bodice is open in front over a che mise of fine lawn. Round her neck she has five or six rows of coral beads, and upon her dark hair is arranged hand kerchief of rich silk. Her long earrings are also coral.-London Life.

The Rabbins, who have a story for everything, say that before Jacob men never sneezed but once, and then imme- diately died. They assure us that Patri- arch was the first who died a natural death, before him all men died by sneez- ing: the memory of which was ordered to be preserved in all nations by com mand of every prince to his subjects to employ some salutary exclamation after the act of sneezing.

Dog Flesh for Consumption.

Since Maggie Donnagher began the
dog-hesh treatment for consumption
seven weeks ago, says a Shelbyvllle,
Ind, dispatch, her condition has been
watched closely Dy scientific persons.
Hundreds of letters have been received
and answered within the last few weeks.
There is much discussion as to Its
merits, and within day or two the be-
levers in the dog treatment theory
have been greatly Inundated from the
fact that Maggie has been compelled to
take her bed. For several weeks she
gradually increased in strength until
Friday, when she was attacked by the
grippe, and had to take her bed. She has
eaten on an average a dog every week
for seven weeks, and she SO far re-
covered that for the last -four weeks she
has been able to perform her house
work without inconvenience or fatigue.
So great was her improvement IN health
that many persons in the community
and at various points in the state are
now eating dog flesh and taking the oil
as a remedy for the dreaded disease.
Another dispatch from Anderson,
Ind. saws: '"rhis is the tenth day
since young Sam Burnett, of this city,
began eating dog flesh as consumption
cure. He gained strength the first three
DAYS and then began to gradually grow
weaker He is unable to raise his hand
and his physicians say he can live but a
few DAYS longer. Charles Fisher, a
wealthy young man who tried the same
cure, has abandoned it."
