checks, drafts, bills of exchange, tickets for
railways, bridges and ferry companies; in
fact, they do all kinds of fine engraving
from a postage stamp to a $50, 600 bond.
First of all. in making bank note, a model
is made partly in India ink and partly by
pasting together impressions of small
pieces of leather work and cycliodal de-
signs This is almost an exact representa-
ton of what the bank note is to be; some
thing after the fashion that an architect
makes his plans for a building, only it is
made on heavier paper and executed with
the brush. These designers are so clever in
their art that you might well mistake some
of their designs for the engravings them
selves.
Each Man Has His Particular Post.
A bank bill is never engraved by one
man, but bv a number of men. Each en-
graver is skilled in his own particular
branch of work; one man may be expert in
engraving portraits, another in making the
old English and other fancy letters you al
ways see on the bills, another in the
s'script" or writing style of letter phrases
like: ''Will pay the bearer" or payable
to the bearer on demand"
The engravers all start on their respective
kinds of work so as to finish about the same
time Very much in the same style as a
railroad is built Several gangs of men,
working simultaneously on different sec
tons of the road, complete the enterprise
sooner than one gang of laborers engaged
on the whole route. So each engraver is
given a small part of the bill to execute.
He engraves it on piece of steel known as
die steel, not quite as large as postal card.
Each piece is hardened and afterward taken
up on the periphery of soft steel cylinder,
known as roll This, in turn, is hardened
like razor and the complete note is then

the boat and the lower part is the stern,
and in the best boats these timbers are now
generally of Eastwood. The length of tile
cross piece depends largely upon the amount
of sail to be carried. In one of the newest
boats built the runner plank" as the
cross piece is technically called, is 20
feet long, the length from runner plank
to rudder post is 10 feet 6 inches, the
length over all Cncluding the bowsprit)
sail is 445 square feet. A runner is i'm.
movably fixed under each end of the run
ner plank, and a movable runner is put
under the lower end of the cross, at the
stern and attached to tiller. This nova
BILE runner is the rUdder On this founda-
tion the builder can construct any sort of
platform or cabin that suits his fancy;
but as the larger and finer boats are usu-
ally built for racing, the upper works are
made as light as possible. The platform,
or deck, is never more than few inches
from the ice, and there should be sufficient
rail to keep in place the many robes and
blankets that are always necessary for COM
fort.
The sloop rig is the one most in favor for
iceboats-that is, one mast to carry the
mainsail, and bowsprit to carry the jIb.
The mast is stepped" where the two main
timbers cross, or if the boat is to be
racer, it may be put little further for
ward. Wire rigging is generally used, and
most good boats have two sets of runners
one set for smooth ice and one set for
rough.
Cost From Ten Dollars Up.
The runner "shoes" are usually about
three feet long, and the boat may cost any
where from $40 or SIS for the toughest up
into the thousands. The finest ice yachts
have hulls of hard wood, wire rigging, the
best duck for sails, brass cleats and blocks,
full sets of colors, expensive spars and
polished steel runners.
The method of sailing an iceboat is much
like that of sailing a sloop, and an expert
enced boatman soon finds himself at home
on the ice. The speed being very high in
a good wind, the boat answers her helm
and a too sudden shifting of the
tiller is likely to be followed by disaster.
In light breeze two passengers are enough
for most boats, but in a heavy blow six or
eight persons are necessary to keep the boat
down on the ice. Unless there is enough
weight forward the windward runner often

narlly successful method is to toll the ami

A great many bear are killed by trapping.

THE TROTTING NJ

A Missouri Scientist Places 1t at One
Minute and T~hirty-Three Seconds.
At present a lively interest is being taken
in the discussion Of tie fastest possible
%trotter, scientists, horsemsn and others
venturing all sorts Of wild opinions on tho
subject. This reminds me that the same
subject was up during the summer Of 1888.
when many Of the leading mathematicians
Of the country plotted curves" and adj
yanced theorles III a vain effort to deter
mine how fast horses will ultimately trot
and when this maximum will be reached.
One Of the most learned of these articles
was by Prof. Z. II. Nipher. of this state,
which appeared in tho July, 1888, number
of the American Journal of Science. Ac-
cording to Nipler's conclusions, the speed
TO which the American trotter will con-
stantly approximate, but never reach, is
one mile in ninety-two seconds, or
1:32. He also concludes that the time
of the t%rotting horse will be reduced
to within one second of his figure
in $50 years after the year 1S60-that is to
say, in the ysar of our Lord 1920. But it
must be remembered that eur great Mis-
souri, scientist WAS too astute to claim alb
solute certainty for his figures. He even
admits that the maximum speed may pos
sibly be as great as 100 seconds. In the
course of ten years, OR in 1893. he SAYS in
his article the limit can be definitely fixed.
He also remarked that he was quite sure
that eventually the maximum speed of trot-
ting md of running horses will differ only
by Il few seconds.
III an article following the ono quoted
from above Mr.. Nipher stated shat he had
made a new calculation based on marhe-
matlcal rather than on graphical methods.
The maximum time thus obtained was
oighty-one instead of ninety-three seconds.
The probable error of this deduction, &C
cording to the professors opinion. is not
over four seconds. From tho results thus
obtuined it is not likely that the running
horse will be able to surpass the trotter ut
the end Of She wear 22O0. 1t is Il curious
speculation. to say tho least, to even guess
that by an artificial gait the t~rotting horse
will finally be able to make better time
than one of his species who travels as ma
ture intended he ahould.-St. Louis Re

English Women Set the Fashion in the
Middle of the Sixteenth Century.
Personal adornment by means OF cosmetics
has been practiced from most ancient times.
Classical writers inform us that the danes
of Greece and Rome derived the custom of
using cosmetics from the Egyptians East

in painting and decorating" and it is
probable that also from the Egyptians the
Jewish women learnt the habit which, being
used by Jezebel on a memorable occasion,
has made her name for ever proverbial in
connection with the subject
In England, says a writer in Spare No
nac'ats, the use of rouge as a cosmetic COM
menced in the DAYS when ladies disfgured
themselves by patches of court-plaster
stuck on different parts OF the tace-that is,
about the middle of the sixteenth CEN
tury. The fashion as to patches and
abuse of cosmetics eliminated dur
ing the reigns of the two Charleses.
While the wearing of patches has almost
completely disappeared-althoughi it is i'm
possible to say it might not be revived-the
use of rouge, in perhaps more moderate
fashion, has continued down to the present
day. In the case of vegetable rouge, if
properly prepared, Its use is completely in
nocuous; but much that is sold is said to
contain preparations of lead, making it
highly dangerous to use.

is the trying on apartment of an exclusive

The room itself was such as to please the
fancy of the very fastidious The walls
were covered with Panels of quilted light
blue satin, draped with clear white French
muslin, while here and there long mirrors
reached to the floor, framed in ivory white
and gold. All the belongings were most

costly gowns rested on table, chair and
divan. Madame herself was caressing the
soft dainty folds of one of these with con-
siderable satisfaction, and was explaining
how some of the materials had been espe-
cially imported for this occasion, when a
tall. slim girl entered to try on the gowns
and to imagine herself for short space of
