NUDE ART.

Of the Two Glasses.
Nude art is divided into two
classes in san Francisco. Here is
something about the first:
Recently l sat for about ten
minutes in Market Street Art
gallery watching a wonderful
picture, and the people who passed
in front Of it. The picture repre-
sented a naked nymph lying by
dool of water, her itch golden
hair ripping down her back, which
was turned to the spectators. 1t
was q mastery piece of work ana
well worth close inspection, daring
in color, and perfect in composition.
There came waddling by first a
fat old lady, who passed the PIC
ture with a virtuous sniff and a
tip.tilted nose expressive OF dis
gust. A young woman leaning
on her husbands arm followed
She saw the nymph from afar,
and gazed in the other direction
as she walked with an ill-assumed
air of unconcern. Her husband
stole one quick look at the lazy
beauty on the canvas, and then
sheepishly glanced around to see
if he was detected. Next approach

ing of the sort: They stopped be-
fore it, ooh! isn't that beautiful"
said one. For a moment they stood
with admiring eyes and slowly
passed along with Inconsistencies
of manner not often seen. 1t was
the height Of good breeding.
Then came another man and wo-
man arm in arm. They paused to
view the forest sprite, and began

Runaway Of "a Harrow.

A few days ago d three-horse
team belonging to John McCue and
driven by an Indian, ran away
while left BY the driver. The team
ran in to a barbed wire fence with
full force. The center horse hung
back, escaping injury. The other
two were terribly cut about their
necks, breasts and legs, the gashes
in places extending to the bone.
At best the horses will not be fit
for use this summer. It was an
unfortunate affair for Mr.. McCue.

The greater part of roads in France are
macadanized; it is only in town that paw
ing stones are used. The layer of broken
stones composing the road is from twelve to
eighteen inches thick. This layer is placed
directly on ground that has been well
beaten. In exceptional cases layer of
sand intervenes or even stones of certain
magnitude in order to facilitate the drain
age. The materials destined for the making
of the roads are brought from the nearest
Quarries. In order that the full amount
contracted for may be delivered, the stone
must-be heaped in angular plies OF pris-
matte shape and fixed dimensions. These
heaps, placed at a given distance from one
another, are afterward inspected by an
official inspector, ana must III all cases
tit exactly beneath a skeleton frame
carried by him. The stone is usually mar
BILE, tlInt-stOne or gravel. 1t must be OF
the best quality and cleansed from all
foreign substances. 1t must be broken so
that rach piece may pass through ring ~
inches in diameter. 1t IS then spread
evenly over the road, the interstices being
carefully filed in with smaller pieces and
particles. so that the whole is smooth and
free from abrupt eminences or depressUns.
A steam roller then brushes and further
evens the whole, after which superficial
layer of clay and earth completes the work.
But when completed IL Is not left TO take
care of itself. The macadam is main tanned
by constantly filling up any slight depres-
sions with the small broken stone in order
to keep the level and to favor the regular
use of the road. When the road is worn
down quite thin an entirely new bed of
stone is spread over it and pressed down
and worked in by means of heavy rollers.
In bavaria the highways generally aver
age twenty-three feet in width, and have
upon either side foOtways varying from
three to five feet. The foundation of these
roads consists of hard stones, which are
never affected by the weather. They are
separately set one by one, points upward.
and are of length of eight inches. Upon
these is placed layer Of small pieces of
basalt or Jura limestone Of a thickness OF
about six inches. Small piles of these stones
for repairing purposes are constantly kept
upon the sides of the highways. The work
is done in the spring or autumn, when the
ground is soft and moist. The roadway is
constantly dressed until it becomes per-
fectly smooth. 1t is bordered on either side
by what are called frame stones" They
are very hard and are not influenced by the
atmosphere. Together with the footways
the profile of the road is about as follows:

INDIAN RECRUITS,
The First Infantry Wants a COM
pany of Red Men.

Lieutenant L. Fl. Strother Of the First H.
fantry, stationed at Angel Island, was at
the Occidental yesterday, having Just re-
turned from Fort Bidwell, where he had
been sent on regimental recruiting service.
The First Regiment is two companies
short. and orders have been issued that one
of tine new companies should be composed
OF Indian recruits. Accordingly, Leuten-
ant Strother went to Fort Bidwell, in the
neighborhOod of which live $50 Piutes.
The efforts of the recruiting officer were
not crowned with success. AT first the In
dams thought that an attempt was being
made TO kidnap them, and kept well out of
speaking range. When they were made to
understand that the enlistment was volun-
tary and saw the arms and uniforms of
soldiers in the United States army, they
acted like children delighted with the rlrst
glimpse of a new toy.
Inquiry developing the fact that enlisted
soldiers were subject to orders which might
necessitate their removal from the reserva-
ton, the military enthusiasm of the H.
dams collapsed as suddenly as it had been
created, and not man could be induced to
enter the service of his country
Lieutenant Strother left last night for the
southern portion OF the state, where he will
visit all the settlements of the Mission In
ardoT amongst them. 1t is foriorn hope,
for the Mission tribes are like the Piutes,
lazy, worthless and without ambition.
The NeZ PerceS make the best Indian
soldiers found on the Pacific Coast. The
Shoshones OF the Northwest have in many
instances furnished satisfactory aces sions
to the ranks, but the klamath tribes are a
military disappointment. The Piutes are
subject TO an affection which disqualifies
them for regimen,al duty. Loafng in the
sand and sagebruSh beside blazing fires and
smoking to excess combine to cause tempo
rary blindness, which is apt to recur unex-
pectedly.
Lieutenant Strother is not enthusiastic
cally in favor of having red men in the
ranks. He considers them valuable chiefly
as scouts, and as Indian uprisings are not
deemed probable in the future by military
men their enlistment would not be specially
valuable in maintaining order on the reser-
vations. They do not like discipline and
consider routine work as extremely irksome.
White privates generally dislike the idea of
Indian recruits exceedingly, and it seems
unlikely that First lnfantry's additional
company will be obtained from among the
red men of California.

" LOVES LABOR LOST"
A Peculiar Scene at the Receiving
Hospital.

Another Illustration of loves labor
lost" was seen in the Receiving Hospital
yesterday.
John McGrath, a seafaring man, residing
on Steuart street, fell down the stairs of his
home Saturday evening, broke his collar
bone and was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital.
Yesterday delegation OF his sailor friends
decided to pay him a visit and took him a
small lunch, in order that he might not feel
that he W as entirely frendless and alone in
the world
The lunch was brought in a large paper
bag, about three feet in height and Of pro-
pOrtlOnate width, upon seeing which the
steward thought they had brought the in
iured mans apparel in this manner in lieu
of the more weighty trunk or grp-sack.
When they had all filed in and surrounded
the patients bed they commenced TO unload
the contents upon the cot. There were
pretzels, currant buns, coffee-cake, dough-
nuts, pies, cakes, "Napoleons." and in fact
every shape OF pastry that sailors mind
could conceive of after a long cruise, and in
sufficient quantities to stock small sized
bakery.
The injured man was fairly covered with
the spread Of sugar-tinted bakery products
and with wearied and disguised look he
turned over, saying as he did SO: For
God sake take 'em away. it makes me sick"

Where the Best Evidence of Du.
ration Is to Be Found.
Some of the Modern and the Ancient High
Ages Of Wear and Weather.

The question as to how to make the best
roads is one that is becoming important in
various communities, whose inhabitants
have awakened to the necessity for i'm
proved thOroughfares, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. 1t is one of those questions
which can only be answered by those who
have had practical experience and whose
works have successfully stood the test of
years. If only that kind of road which has
been proven to last the longest is to be
taken as an example, then there are no ex-
amples in the United States The searcher
after information upon this subject mus
perforce go abroad, for it is there that the
best roads are to be found.
Ii examples are to be taken from the roads
of the present century. then the best are to
be found in Europe. where many years ago
it was demonstrated that economy was as
necessary through good highways 10 the
markets as it was in the improved methods
of farming. In France for instance, when
the people turned 10 agricultural pursuits in
earnest, they built roads which are to-day
competitors of the railways, owing 10 their
availability in any and all kinds of weather.
In that country, when the outline of the
road is fixed upon, the profile of the length
is exactly marked SO as 10 evaluate the

FACT AND FABLE.

Were the Ii biblical Miracles Drawn From
Mythology.
Rev. DR.. Stebbins Of the First Unitarian
Church last evening delivered his second
in the series of addresses showing the rela-
ton of mythology to religion. This course
is intended to demonstrate the absurdity of
a belief in the miracles of the Bible and to
show how mythology furnished basis for
the many improbable stories contained
therein. DR.. Stebbins commenced last even
ing with the story of creation, and in the
course OF his lecture treated the tales of
Sampson and the deluge and other fables
from standpoint of cold reason.
He said the mythical element entered
largely into all of the early writings. We
see il in everything produced in the child
ton to the rule, ard Is subject to the same
criticism as we would bestow upon another
work. The story OF creation is myth, but
teaches Tbeism, pure and simrle-the idea
of one and only one God. The story of
Sampson is another one of those contradic-
gin in the earlier legends. 1t is one of the
solar myths. The name indicates sun god.
Daniel In the lions den is another fable,
and it is well-demonstrated fact that no
such character as Nimrod ever existed.
The deluge is a myth, pure and simple. and
borrowed from the legends which told of
the worship Of nature. The sun and moon
have always been fayorite objects of wor-
ship.
Legend runs through all cur literature.
even the juvenile. The story Of Jack and
Jill can be traced directly to Icelandic nv
thology. 1 have pointed out some fables in
the Bible, but this no more impeaches the
truthfulness of the book than the story of
Washington's hatchet casts reflection upon
the character OF the Father of his country.

CAUGHT IN A BOILER.
The Strange Predicament of q New York


The Strange Predicament of q New York

The boiler from which the steam heat is
supplied to the Colonnade Hotel, New York,
recently needed cleaning out, and Daniel
Donlin, the engineer, crawled into it, as he
had often done before, through the man.
hole in the DOME In entering the boiler
his feet became firmly wedged between the
hues which run horizontally through the big
steel shell, and he found himself caught as
in gigantic wise. He was unable to get
further in or crawl in such predicament,
and he struggled frantically. But it was OF
no avail. Then Donlin began to cry for
help. He hated to do it, for it seemed hu.
initiating for an engineer to become impris-
oned by his own boiler. But help was
needed, and needed quickly, for his posi-
ton was more serious than even he>at first
supposed.
During Donlin's struggles his knees were
caught under the edge Of the dome and he
was unable to move his tower limbs at all.
IL was then that he began to shout loudly
Ior help. His head and shoulders were still
outside OF the boiler, but the dome smoth-
cred his cries.
Some of the employees of the hotel finally
heard him. and dozen porters, hall-boys
and clerks ran down to help the imprisoned
man. As many as could caught hold of his
arms and tried to pull him out, but could
not bulge him an inch. Donlin was so
cramped by this time that he was suffering
great agony.
Somebody went outside and called in Po-
