and walked back to the station. he was
perhaps 100 feet from No. II when he
heard the Long Branch train coming.
The engine doomed up out of the fog a
very short distance from him. He stood

shouted aud motioned to the engineer of
No. IL to pull out ahead. No. IL had just
started when it was struck by 800. 1t
WAS impossible for the engineer of Oil
to stop his engine after receiving the stop
signal, although he was only going at
about fifteen miles an hour. After the
collision he ran back to see If there was
any danger OF the cars taking fire. No.

he signalled to him to stop. Mr.. Milford
declared that the tracks were so slippery
that the wheels Of the cars OF No. 300 slid
along them.

NEW JERSEYS PRISON.
Reforms Made By Supervisor Seymour
in Prisoners Outfits.

Reforms Made By Supervisor Seymour
in Prisoners Outfits.
Until a year or two ago. says the TUen-
tdeth Century. the State Of New Jersey
provided each male convict on his dis
charge from the State Prison at Trenton
with an outfit consisting Of hat, shoes,
coat, trousers and waistcoat, costing
So 70. The soles of the shoes, as we learn
from the report of The Prison Super
visor, Mr.. James M. Seymour, con-
OF the outfit was about equally un-
serviceable. Moreover. the make,
material and color Of the clothes
were uniform. SO that the discharged
men wers at once recognized as ex-con-
v1cts wherever they went SO long as the
clothing lasted, or as long as they con-
tinueG to wear 1t. The same report states
that on the statute book Of New Jersey is
a law which requires the Keeper and the
Inspector of the prison ITO place to the
credit of the convict such sums as they
may deem just Crowded the earning
shall exceed the weekly cost of his
ma~intenance.C A humane act, every
one will say. and a wise one withal,
for thus the prisonsr is stimu-
lated to be diligent in his work: the
well behaved and Industrious convict
will accumulate, as In a savings bank, 8
moderate provision Of cash against the
day when his term Of Imprisonment shall
end; or he is enabled to contribute to the
maintenance of a dependent family or
relatives IL he have any. But the wise
LEGISLATORS who enacted that law forgot TO
cay what was to be done with the surplus
earnings of the prisoners (or rather with
the sums deemed just" by tho Keeper
and Inspector and plnced to the credit of
the convicts). and, therefore, as far as the
prisoners are concerned, the credits are us
il bhey were not. Neither while In prison
eau they draw one penny OF the sums
placed to their credit.
Mr.. Seymour has reformed in the direc-
ton OF honesty the prison practice in re-
gard to the discharged prisoners outfit:
now the shoes and the rest OF the cloth

Hjnts Go Araateur Artists

There is NO royal road to the mechanical
methods of artists; they can not be
learned like the catechism. Each has q
manner peculiarly his own of manipulat-
ing the pigments TO gain similar results,
which, beyond a few suggestions, cannot
be laid down In black and white.
In painting any sort of fruit or any kind
of flower, a common error is TO try to
match the local color exactly. This can
not be uone. The BEST thing possible is to
force the pigments up SO as TO approach
the strength of nature as nearly as may
be. 1t is advisable. in order to attain this
object, to paint the subjects a shade
or two lighter than they appear to
the eye, with the highest and purest
%colors, When this painting is partly dry.
drag over it a semi-transpareut color Of
a darker, richer hue. AS an example, a
crimson apple Ia painted ON the side no
which the light falls with pure vermilion.
kesping all the ordinations down to the
deepest shadow, In harmony with the
key. When this coat has become ''Gacky"
drag over it rose madden, or madden lake,
meanwhile keeping the harmony
as perfect rs possible. Some pigments
notably cadium aud French vertnilion
cannot have their shining quality en-
hanced except by violent contrasts, which
IN fruit painting are not admissible.
An important point to be remembered,
is to execute the picture In q higher key,
of color thar the model appears. It will.
not be the real fruit after 1T Is done, but 8
nearer representation of nature Is thus
achieved. An error into which young
artists are prone to tall, is the painting Of
the fruit without due consideration Of its
surroundings, Or as to how the balance of
the picture is to be arranged. The
result is sur to be vexatious disap-
pointment. Another stumbling block
is q lack of the knowledge of harmony
and contrast. True contrasting col
ors are not necessarily harmonious,
For instance, orange and blue are true
contrasts, so are red and green; but TO
paint an orange against a blue vase, or q
red apple against a gieen drapery, is SIM
ply atrocious In point of harmony. Sup
pose, however, that the blue vase be mod
flied to q g%reenish blue, or made a red
dish color. and the drapery be made olive,
II delightful harmony will result. The
vase and the orange, the drapery and the
apple will appear to bear some relation to
each other and giye pleasure instead Of
pain by che unity. Some lucky souls pos
sess an intuitive knowledge of the law of
harmony; others must study n learn it
as they do their a, b. c's.

ROD AND GUN.

1t was most unfortunate for the cotton
tails that a tracking snow fell last week,
and thousands of the Dummies which were
frisking around previous to the Sno wfall
are now hanging by the heels. Tn ere is
no law to proteob rabbits from crackers
in the shooting season. Old rabbits love
to jump around in the newly fallen snow,
but rabbits of the first season are SO
scared by It that they will sit In their

drives them TO seek food,
That cunning is a dangerous sport is
we'll recognized, but it will be generally
observed that accidents to gunners are
the result of cnrelessnes or ignorance,

Scotch Dress,

The dress OF the last century survived
to within living memory. DR.. Gregor,
the venerable minister of Pitsligo, thus
described to me his mothers preparations
for church: "On her head she placed a
skull cap to keep che hair up, aud over
that a fine linen cap. lying quite fiat. fol-
lowed by a broad ribbon going round the
head and fastened behind. Over all came
a band of thin cambric, drawn into a
ruching on the top and having a broad,
fiat border. showing the hair on the edge.
Her outer dress was a red cloak with Il
hood and made of fine wool. Her ordi-
nary errand going cloak was a dufel of
blush gray. My father at kirk aud fair
wore a long coat, with brass buttons, Of
blush cloth, and for a working dress
wore knee breeches. "-BlackWood's Nag
