JaiIs for the PUPILS.

In some of the schools of Chilli when
a boy becomes boistcrous he is sent to
Jail, and for this purpose there are min
iature prisons. They are dark vaults,
each just large enough for a person to
stand in, where the student is locked
and left to mediate. After remaining
six hours in one position he is general
ly tractablc; if not, he is left until he
is. A large corner room is fitted up as
q chapel, with numerous shrines, con-
fcssionals, images, etc. There is also
a thcater, with elevated STAGE NOV
able scenes, footlights and green-room.
AS cocducation is not permitted, and if
q young lady should associate on the
stage with the other sex she would be
disgraced for life, the boys are COM
PEELED to don petticoats whenever the
cxigcncics of the drama require. And
great fun they seem to consider it

been focused. After these exposures
have been made the doors are closed
and the subject is focused with out,
stretched hands. After proper focusing
the kit, except the upper corners, is
drawn away and a full exposure made,
giving the result as it appears in the
illustration. A few days ago Capt.
Riker walked into the house and tossed
an envelope into Mrs. Riker's hands;
On opening it she found q picture of his
headless body standing upright with
arms outstretched and in each hand a
platter on which lay CHASTITY head
his own.
Capt. Riker said that while he had
known for many years the secret OF
making the pictures, he now desired tc
show simply what really is behind tho
making Of alleged spook and spirit pic
lures. The secret of making the pic
lures has been known for many year;
also by Prof. George R. Cromwell, who
recently delivered lecture before the
Society of Amateur Photographers O.

making doubles. Probably the mos

THE WIDOW AT THE SPRINGS.

Of all the women N tho world there's one
above the rest
Whom will openly avow heartily detest;
She's n tiny coaxing creature, slight tender

She is such q prudent matron-is this shy,
sweet foe OF mine,
Sho will say, with orbs uplifted, in manner
most divine,
That she never in her girlhood went TO ride
with men-oh, no!
Then she'll take drive by moonlight with my
very incest beau.
She will wonder, too, you haven't grown quite
weary of gay life,

Oh, 1t takes just such woman TO mink OF the

How 1 hate this little widow who outwits mo

She has such sweet ways of giving all ones

About tho sort of woman who's particularly
nice;
Not a giddy, silly creature, but woman who's
been tried
BY the deepest cares and sorrows, and who now
would put aside
All tho vanities and follies, and would know

MUCH LIKE RUSSIA
Outrages Upon Hebrews in a
New Jersey Town.
DRIVEN OUT FROM THEIR HOMES
Beaten With Sticks and Stones and Made
Wanderers in the Land.

Because the Hebrews Were Paid More
Wages, Crowd of Strikers Vows Gen
eral Vengeance Upon the Race - Many
Sympathizers Aid the Mob in its LawIess
Work. Disgraceful Scenes.
MELVILLE, N. J., Sep. 81. - Scenes
which call to mind the persecution of
the Hebrews in Russia have been enacted
in this place the last few days.
When the glass works of Whitall, Ia
tum & Co., employing over 5000 men
and boys, opened, there was scarcity of
young men, and as there were three colo
MES of Russian Hebrews near Milleville,
it was easy to obtain large boys of that
race to work in the factory. They were
paid 81 week. The smaller boys, who
were getting less, protested, saying they
ought to have as much, because they had
been there longer, not taking into con-
sideration the fact that the Hebrew boys
did more work, because they were larger
and stronger.
The Superintendent refused to pay the
| smaller boys more, whereupon they all
went out, to the number of 500. They
gathered sticks and stones, and soon
| they met q quiet and inoffensive Hebrew,
citizen of Millville for many years. He
was bounced upon, flung to the ground
and terribly pummelled. Not satisfied
with beating him the ringleaders hooked
stick in his long, flowing beard and
| twisted it until the hair was yanked
| from his face.
Other Hebrews who were encountered
| in the streets were captured and marched
to the depot and ordered to leave by the
first train, the strikers standing guard
over them until the train pulled out.
From of the incoming trains, two
| Hebrew peddlers got off and started up
| town with their packs. They were
| bounced upon and hammered with tin
cans and brickbats. Then they were
dragged back to the train, put aboard
and warned never to put foot again in
| Melville.
The strikers had by this time been
joined by many sympathizers and now
numbered nearly a thousand. The pro
cession visited every house in town in
which Hebrew wos thought to be hid
den. Notices were left commanding
every one to leave town before sundow1
on Saturday. Whenever Hebrew wa
encountered he was beaten nearly int
insensibility and ordered to clear out a
once and to tell all the members of hi
race to get out as quickly as possible o
they would be killed and their homes de
stroyed.
Since then there has been an exodus O.
Hebrews, some leaving by train, some b.
wagons, and many who had no means t.
pay transportation went afoot. Out Q
the hundred or more Hebrews in Mill
, Vile on Friday not more than half
J dozen remained Saturday night. Thes
were set upon as soon as their presenc
became known and driven from the tow
with clubs.

denied every employe admission. Th
town is quiet now.

Electricity as a Motive Power.

The tendency OF street railway com,
panies to substitute electric cars for
cable cars on their lines is on the in
crease, and the statistics of working ex.
pcnses and assets which from time to
time become available go to show If
every case that the change has been a
wise one. Another confirmation of the
superiority of the electric car over the
cable from financial point of view is
afforded in the statement of the last
years earnings and expenses of the
Denver Tramway Company, which
shows that while the operating ex
penses to gross earnings of the cable
lines in Denver stood in the ratio of Il
per cent. those Of the electric lines were
SIS per cent, clear 20 per cent. in favo5
of electricity.

More Power for Cyclers.

A distinctively novel feature in bi
cycle construction is the use of an oval
sprocl1et wheel to convey power from
the cranlSs of a safety machine to the
driving wheel. The cranks are placed
at right angles to the longer diameter
of the ellipse, and it is claimed that by
this arrangement the rider is giver
greater power. When the cranks arc
in the position that gives the rider the
least leverage under ordinary circum
stances, the elliptical sprocl1et whee
increases the purchase and gives great
err power. The resistance is made more
uniform than in the case of the or
binary construction.

DOUBLE PHOTOGRAPHS.


a scheme for Making Figure Appear
Twice Plate.
The making of double pictures on one
negative plate has been practiced by
photographers for some time. 1t has
been supposed that they were made by
using reflections from mirrors to double
the object to be photographed. Doubles
may be made that way, but the refcc-
ton of the glass always shows, while
the figures are invariably distorted
The most common way of making sue
cessful doubles is to extend the reach of
the lens with a small box of the same
depth of the focal depth of the lens.
The inside of the box should be smooth
and blacIened dead black, to prevent
its appearance in the picture. The
front of the box is then divided equally
by two small doors or flaps. In making
the exposure open one flap, draw the
slide from your plateholders and expose;
the plate. Then replace the slide, close:
the door that was open, let the person
being photographed change position,
open the door that was closed on the
first exposure, leaving the other one
closed, focus the object, draw the slide
again and expose the plate again, and
you have the same person in two differ
ent attitudes in the same negative,
without any line of demarkation show
ing in the background.
Capt. John N. Rilzer, the subject of
the illustration, goes further than max
| ing doubles. He makes triples, quad
ruples or any number wanted, in the
most grotesque and CHASTITY forms, on
one plate. His system of making
doubles on the same plate is more com
plicated than the one described. 1t is
done by placing kit or shutter over
the plate in the holder and exposing a
part at a time. The kit is hinged in
sections, the upper corners opening like
little doors on the side. The decapitated
heads are taken by opening the doors
and just exposing the part of plate di-
rectly behind, on which the head had

NIr. Blaine Believed to Be in Pre-
carious Condition.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 1.-AbOut
o'clock last evening messenger from
the Blaine household called at the Office
of The village physician, and together
they fastened to StanwOOd, Mr.. Blaine's
residence. The piazza, which an hour
before had been crowded with friends
of the family, was entirely vacated.
Everything portended that the secretary
of state had hal a bad turn. 1t was
learned that the attack was not very
severe, but it alarmed his family. This
morning he was a great deal better, and
as the day progressed seemed to recover.
Any Unexpected change in MI
Blaine's condition arOuses the interest
of the whole cottage population. He is
the chief and all-conspicuous figure at
Bar HarbOr. Just now he is but
shadow of his former self. His com
plexion is very sallOw. Part OF his
trouble is prostratiOn of the nerves.
His voice has lost its volume and stead
mess, and, after a short talk with one
of the family, he becomes hoarse and
chOked, and coughs quite frequently.
1t is very hard, so the family physician
says, to make Secretary Blaine under
stand that he must have perfect rest.
