FRANK CONFESSION.
Sir Walter Scott's wsverIey Novels fo
NacatInn Recalling.

Vacation !tea:iing-
Robert Chambers, publisher, one
night appeared at his club, after a short
absence. and there delighted at least
one member-J c. Jeatfreson-bv a
deliciously frank expression OF opinion,
says Youths Companion. JeaffresOn
began the conversation by asking:
What have you been doing since
saw YOU IaSt?"
Il have jOost been spending the time
in Scotland with my ain people, and
for my diversion | have been reading
yet again Scott'S novels. / went de
liberately through the whole lot O
them What do you think Of a mon o
my years spending the greater part of
the long holidays in sic a way?''
1t was in that way that first made
acquaintance with the Waverley nov
els was the enthusiastic reply, lin a
broiling hot summer a nd autumn How
you must have enjoyed YOURSELF"
"Weel. weel. / Gamma say" returned
the Scottish publisher and man of let
tiers. Then he looked warily up and
down the room to make sure of not be
ing heard by any brother Scotsman,
and continued:
Il Gamma say | enjoyed the buiks so
much as did in my younger time. |
would not say it aloud in Adinbro, but
weel You believe me when | say that
Sir Walter isn't what he used to be to
me? TO tale you the truth" he added.
lowering his voice almost to whisper,
Ito tale You the truth | found him

what 1 said to you. 1t is the truth that

FAME OF FRENCH ARTISTS.
1t Is Increased by the Reproduction O
Their Paintings.

1t Is Increased by the Reproduction of
Their Paintings.
The proportion of artists in France
of wide fame. whose work is frequent
" seen in print. is undoubtedly greater
than in any other country; and one of
many good reasons for this is certainly
the exceptional skill and experience of
the French in their use OF reproductive
processes. and especially those which
not only translate the form of the orig
inal, but the color as well, says Scrib-
ner's Magazine. These color reproduc-
tionS. printed from metal relief plates
and not from photographic stones-the
method usually resorted to by the rest
of the world-are unique The secret
of securing, with but few impressions,
the marvellous combinations of color,
the effects of washes, tones and lines,
combined with a verve and character
quite indescriba BILE, is one of which only
the French printer artist is complete
master. Just across the border the
German printer has developed litho-
gTaphy with something of the same en-
thusiasm which the Frenchman has de-
voted to the relief plate, each practi
cally making few excursions into the
others methods of accomplishing the
same thing.
A still further reason for this great
superiority is the innate artistic sense
of the French printer, or, more prop
crly, the preSSman. In other countries,
where engraver and printer are looked
upon by the illustrator rs his natural
enemies. into whose hands drawing
is given grudgingly, the statement,
which is not infrequently made 10y the

translation of the original into printed
form is as effective in its way as the
drawing itself, calculated to excite de-

WHEN SMILES ARE IMPOSSIBLE.
woman's PitisbIe Plight q Wet and
Windy Day.


The utter absence of a sense of hu-
NOR from the average feminine com
position is never more clearly visible
says the Pail Mall Budget, than in a
busy thoroughfare on n wet and windy
day. y woman may be a philosopher,
she may have original ideas and bril-
liant theories on the fundamental ques-
tions of morality and ethics, but she
rarely rises superior to muddy boot
or a draggled petticoat. The woman
is an exception indeed who manages to
preserve smiling face in the teeth of
an east wind which plays shuttlecock
with her umbrella, and a dreary sleet
which bespatters her clothes and
freezes her fingers; young or old, fair
or plain-scarcely one of them who
does not frown ominously as she
hurries along, forgetful of other peo-
pies feelings and umbrellas and toes,
hustling and jostling, with never a
glance for the absurdity of the situa-
ton. For there is something unmiti-
gatingly ridiculous about pedestrians
on really bad day; nobody wants to
walk on the outside of the pavement
because of the splashing omnibuses and
cabs; everybody wants to pass every
body else, regardless of the limited
space afforded by the conglomeration
of umbrellas; everybody pushes and ell
bows and shoulders. and when an UNI
brella appears in sight all considera-
tions of gallantry or politeness or sex
or age are forgotten-it becomes
an object lesson in 1.-The survival
of the fittest" and free fight or some
thing near it ensues. in which the fair
sex undoubtedly manage to bear their
part with more than a tolerable grace

Tomorrow Night.
SUPT. FISHER HAS PLANS.

The Joint standing Committee on Edu-
cation, consisting OF Councilman Watson,
chairman, and Alderman Perrin, Coun-
cilmen Delany and o'Brien. met today In
the store OF Lyons Delany Il Co. to con-
slider the question OF High School facili.
ties for the ensuing year.
Chairman Tobie OF the School Depart
ment, as we'll as Committeeman Hartford
and Supt. Fisher, were present. Mr.. Tobie
explained the ituation.
Mr.. Fisher thought that 1t would be
advisable to transfer the kindergarten at
Cherry street to Garden street and
abandon the High street grammar school.
Then take the pupils who now attend
there and send part to Church Hill and
the rest to Cherry street and make new
grammar district In Hancock street.
In this way the High school could be
held for this year and possibly next In the
High street school In connection with the
Greene building and the addition OF a
or East avenue.
This will necessitste the building OF a
four-room addition to the Church Hill
school, a two room addition to Cherry
street and an addition or another new
building at Hancock street in the very
near future.
The committee will meet again tomor-
row evening To consider the matter aud
may report Wednesday evening.

A LOVELY HITTER"
Opium Joint Visited by
the Police.
GOOD LOOKING GIRL FOUND.
She and the Keeper Arrested But
Afterward Discharged.

Four or five weeks ago Chinese laun-
dry was opened In the lower end OF the
new portion OF the Merry Homestead
building on East avenue. The sign gave
notice that the laundry was run by Lee l..
Hoy. There were. rumors that Hoy had
been driven out of Providence for run
ming an opium joint.
About 8 O'Clock Saturday evening Of
hcer Watson was informed by young
man that young woman, who had been
seen going there before, had Just gone up
that lane. He hurried To the laundry and
rushed Into the back room, where he
found young woman. As he entered
the room she was crawling under cot,
while an opium pipe lay en- the cot.
The Chinaman made considerable ress-
tance, but was subdued. The woman at
first denied that she had been "hitting
the pipe" but finally admitted that she
had begun to smoke when she heard him
coming, and lay the pipe down. She was
respectable looking, about n years Of age,
and nicely dressed. Che wore a diamond
ring whi,b she said was worth t76, and
which she offered the officer to let her go,
saying she would give him 900 Tor the
ring Monday morning. She said her
name was Wilkinson; that she had "hit
the pipe" only a few times, having been
taught by young man who was to have
met hor, but did not. The call was rung
In for the patrol wagon, and the China
man was taken to the station In the
wagon, while the officer escorted the
young woman thereto, and both were
locked up. The police also secured the
opium pipe and other paraphernalia OF
the "joInt." The Chinaman tho was ar
rested gave his name as Ice Sing. The
"joint" is fitted up with two 'cots" or
"Dunks," which are screened off from the
rest OF the back room.
Both Discha rged.
Lilly Wilkinson, alias Ryder, the wo-
man who was found In the opium Joint
was discharged Sunday. She was kept at
the station until her parents called for
her and took her home. She gave her
residence as Providence street, Provi-
dence, and her name Ak Ryder, saying
that she had reason for giving another
name Saturday evening when she was
taken To the police station. Sing Lee,
the Chinaman who owned the joint was
discharged, there being no charge against
him.
