Henry Henshall was in despair.
In vain he tried to Danish the shadowy
ideal from his heart by greater devo.
ton to his art. Whether he worked at
landscape or marine scene the face
of the beautiful girl he had seen on the
cars would appear in the foliage or rise
from the waters like another Undine.
A hundred times he would turn away
from the canvas, thinking by force OF
will to dispel the torturing illusion, but
A. it was the creation of his own brush
it would not vanish.
One afternoon he dashed his palette
and brushes on the studio floor, and,
sprhging to his feet, called out in a
voice Of agony:
'Merciful powers! Am never again
to paint anything but that face? Can l
never again think Of anything but that
facer

him, and in response to his nervous

Many Uses for Chinese Cats.

will meet with great reward and success
in life. Still, this belief does not prevent
beggars In some provinces from providing
round the streets to catch pet cats to sell
their flesh and fur, garments of cat skin
being costly and much priced. Cats flesh
Is much eaten in China, especially for lung

I. is not hard for the poor to hate the
zich, and in that regard the free traders
a1ave manifest advantage in their
attempt to work up sentiment among
the laborers and farmers against the
manufacturers of this country. The
proper answer to that sort of argument
ds to let the people see the nature OF the
European monopolies which would be
put in control of our markets by the re.
moval OF the protective tariff. The trusts
which control the tin, iron, salt and
wool industries in England do not seem
to excite any hate in the minds of the
free trade reformers who are directing
all their energies to destroy our home
industries for the benefit of foreign
trusts.

Tin plate, which figured so largely in
the Democratic campaign literature of
go, promises to be an important feature
of the coming contest of '9l, but this
time it will be used as weapon on the
other side OF the fight. Republicans
need not be afraid of harping too much
on the tin plate, for the Democrats gave
It no rest when they thought 1t was
9oing their way. There never was a
better stump speech argument than the
yell they raised about the way the price
of dinner buckets and pie pans would
90 up if the Mckinley bill should pass.
The bill passed and tin went down, and
the whole structure of the free trade
theory went down with it. The tin
plate arguments have already started
back to the Democratic roost.

WHY SNOW is WHITE.

All the Elementary Colors Arc Blended
Together In the Crystals.
The pure white luster OF snow Is due
to the fact that all the elementary
colors OF light are blended together in
the radiance that is thrown of from
the surface OF the crystals. It Is quite
possible to examine the individual snow
crystals in such way as to detect
these several colors before they are
mingled together to constitute the COM
pound impression OF whiteness upon
the eye. Tho snow Is then clothed
with all the varied hues OF the rainbow.
The soft whiteness Of the snow is also
In some degree referable to the large
quantity Of air which Is entangled
amid the frozen particles.
Snow is composed Of great number
OF minute crystals, explains London
Nt-Bits- More than q thousand dis
tinct forms Of snow crystals have been
enumerated by various observers. One
hundred and ffty-one were noticed
during eight days In February and
March, 1855, by Mr.. Glashier, which
were carefully drawn, engraved and
printed In paper attached to the re-
port Of the British Meteorological 90
ciety for that year.
These minute crystals and prisms re-
fect all the compound rays Of which
white light consists. Sheets Of snow

beautiful pink and blue tints under Ger
