"What a magnificent development or tne
sternocldomastoideu
The wretched Jobinard, blown out
with pride, seemed like the frog in the
fable, ready to burst. And then he
proudly drew up the leg Of his neither
garment to the knee and exhibited a
muscular brown limb as hairy as that of
an ape.
"You will not refuse us2" we cried in
chorus.
"You will not dare to refuse us" added
Daburon.
"Gentlemen, yieldl l see that Art
cannot get on without me. When would
You like to begini" said poor Jobinard.
Tomorrow at noon, answered Dabu-
ron as he shook hands with the little
grocer reverentially, and then we took
our leave.
Next day a long procession filed into
the shop.
"This way, gentlemen, thisway, if you
please" said NJ. Jobinard as he indicated
the way to his back yard.
We must have been at least 3d. Every
body brought something's there were four
sacks Of plaster, some paving stones, bits
Of broken iron, bricks, and enough ma
terial to have walled up Jobinard alive.
A great mass Of moist plaster was pre-
pared, the limbs that had become nee
essary to the world of Art were denuded
of their covering and placed In the moist
mass, then large quantities Of the liquid
plaster was poured on them, then the
e IL H1rn havu Alaa orrinfr
stones and the bricks were carefully in
serted and built up into the still soft
mass which was at least yard high and
yard thick.
Don't move, dear NJ. Jobinard, +" cried
Daburon, "the plaster is about TO set.
We shall return in half an hour, by
which time the molds will be com
plete."
NJ. Jobinard, seated in the center Of
his back yard, bolt upright, bowed to
each of us as we passed out
In about a quarter Of an hour Jobi-
nard began to feel distinctly uncomfort-
able. "The molds seem getting terri
bly, heavy" he said to one Of his assist
ants, who kept him company. "They
seem on fire, and can't move"
At that moment the procession, headed
by Daburon, filed once more into the
courtyard.
"Its getting painful, gentlemen" said
Jobinard. II feel as though were be-
ing turned to stone"
"Try and bear it bravely. Nothing is
attained in this world, dear monsieur,
without a certain amount of physical
suffering. It will be set as hard as mar
BILE in few minutes. We will obtain
the necessary appliances for your re-
lease at once, Jobinard. Remain per
fectly quiet till our return" said Dabu-
ron rather suavely.
And then we each Of us kissed our fn-
ger tips solemnly to poor Jobinard, and
we filed out once more. 1t was the last
day Of the term at the Art school, and we
were all off for our holidays.
For two hours Jobinard waited for us
in an agony Of fear; then he sent for
stonemason, who dug him out. They
had to get the plaster off with ham
mer. We had, by the direction of the
Demon Daburon, omitted to oil the
shapely limbs of our victim.

Marion Harland once upon time In
the course Of a foreign journey chanced
to be dilating upon tho cosmopolitan
taste Of the American who would eat
haggis in Scotland, roast beef in Eng
land, bologna in its city, macaroni In
Italy and frogs legs in France. "And
what" said famous traveller who over
heard the monologue, sis the national
dish Of the United States7" Mrs. Ter
hume always laughs, but ruefully, when
she repeats this anecdote. II thought -
she says, "of telling him turkey. But
they cook that better in France than in
America. l Thought Of mince pie, but
that is English as well as Yankee. At
length replied, with an assumption Of
ease and pride that was far from feel

There are ways Of getting out Of the

or become a convict 10 find those ways.
A young man who recently Joined the

Mourning paper isa satire in itself. It
wears the deepest possible black margin
for the first six months, say. Then it
grows a little narrower. Is that a sign
that you are not mourning SO much as
you were during the first half year?
Next year it Is narrower still. The grief
is greatly mitigated The third year it
Is a mere streak. Your sorrow does not
amount 10 much nawl Tho next year
the black border has entirely disap-
peared. Does that mean that you have
forgotten your bereavement That would
be the logical Interpretation, and yet in
the case of how many whose stationery
has gone through this diminishing per
spective TO the vanishing point the sor-
row has been even more bitter after
years perhaps than it was at frst.-Bos-

For many centuries the growing Of
roses for the manufacture of perfume
has been an important industry in many
places.
In the south Of France and in Algeria
rose culture is conducted upon large
scale. Shiraz, in Persia, and Ghazipur,
in India, have long been important cen
ters Of the industry, and so has Medine-
tel-Fayoum, in Egypt. But, most noted
Of all, yielding the largest quantity and
the finest quality, is Kazanlils, in eastern
Bumelia-the valley Of roses.
This lovely valley lies on the southern
slope Of the Balkans, sheltered by their
towering sides from the cold north
winds, and is the center of a district
which yields ON an average nearly 200
pounds avoirdupois of altar of roses, rep
resenting a commercial value of $3.50, 900.

To
Owners
Of
Wagons,

would say that before you
lake your wagon to the shop for
repairs look over the painting ]
did last year, see whether I
use inferior Paint and Vanish.
Then compare prices, also in
the purchase of a new one, Buy
o. a Carriage Man! And buy
where you get the same article
for, Oh ! so much less money,
for my place is noted for that,
namely. to sell cheaper than
any other, because l sell for the
ready stuff you see.
