Ru-r.t Wood Decoration.

The kind of wood you should use dc
ponds greatly upon the size and char&c
ter OF your decoration. For the frio2e OF
a room or large panel TO go over ;
chimneypieco soft wood would be best,
for it would allow of bold treatment OF
lines. But if you were intending TO or
nament a jewel box hard wood would
be best, because it lends itself 10 the
most delicate work. You can make
upon very hard wood a line as delicate
as the finest produced by an etcher with
his needle upon the copper plate.
Burnt wood decoration is rather slow
work 1t is more allied TO carving OF
etching than to painting. / go over and
over my work, as the etcher bites and
rebites his plate l deepen tone here
by returning, or work it off with my
emery cloth or sandpaper and reburn IT,.
This is a little secret of technique which
L have never told before.
The burning of wood seems to be one
of natures arts. The japanese employs
the hot iron for permanently tinting his
bamboo; even the savage uses it for
tracing designs upon his wooden domes-
tic utensils. Yet, although it is so sim
pie that the aborigines employ it upon
the handles of their weapons, it is sus-
ceptible of being carried as far as any
medium of expression we have in the
graphic arts. Think how wide, too, is
its scope-from the delicate traceries
for dainty jewel box to the bold frieze
or panel of a spacious library or altar
decoration. Art Amateur.

An American Song.

A good story was told on the ship by
a Boston man who was in Antwerp
while the preparations were in progress
for the exposition. Representatives OF
all nations were there preparing exhib-
it's from their respective countries. In
the evening all the visitors were III the
habit of gathering in large hall on
the grounds to listen to the band play.
Out of compliment to the visitors the
national airs of the different countries
were played and received an ovation
from the group of that nationality in
the hall. The night that our Boston
friend attended the band performance
this playing of national airs was ON the
programme. All were played, but not
a thing that could be twisted into an
air for the bird of freedom. A delega-
ton of the Americans went up to the
leader and told him that they felt
sighted; that their country had not
been recognized. With profuse apollo
gies the leader said it was clearly an
oversight and promised to give them
the American air at once. He dlstrlbut-
ed the music, and, waving his baton, the
band broke loose, not with any familiar
patriotic air, but 1.-The Man That Broke
the Bank at Monte Carlo. " Amaze
ment among the Americans finally gave
way to visions of Old Hoss Hoey and
his song, and when the band finished
the tumultuous applause from the Amer
lean delegation elected an encore

THE PATHOLOGICAL NOVEL.
a Medical View of the Latest specialty -
Modern Fiction.

Modern Fiction.
Among physicians 1.-THE HeaveLl y
Twins is looked upon not as lite :
venture to be judged by artistic stand
ards, but as a readable representation
of symptoms which suggest definite
pathological conditions.
''Ships That Pass In the Night" is
admirable as n pulmonary record, and
''Tho Yellow Aster" affords an insight
into the psychic phenomena resulting
from neglect OF natural instincts and
desires, which, surviving the appropri-
ate period OF life, subsequently assert
themselves in the form of belated mater
nal love and ex post facto philoprogen-
itiveness.
AS to Miss Harraden's book, while
we find it useful in the profession for
it's glimpses into refined sickroom con-
versation and pulmonary persihage, we
regret, from q medical point Of view,
that after giving such careful history
of the heroine's case the author per-
mitted her to be killed by an omnibus.
1t is humiliating, after following at
tentively tho course of the disease and
the method OF treatment, TO be told that
an omnibus was the cause of death and
to be dismissed without hearing the re-
suit of the autopsy. Moreover, we found
her style so delightful that wo would
have gladly followed the hero to the
last hemorrhage, but that, too, was de-
MED Us.
Sarah Grand's cases are open to the
same objection of incompleteness. She
starts out enticingly with such char
acter, for instance, as Edith's husband,
but leaves the latter and moro interest
ing phrases Of his pathological history
untold. AS general rule, however, she
comes up to the requirement Of modern
fiction; the cases of most of her charac-
tiers can be diagnosed, and with little
more clinical experience we have no
doubt that her future novels will be
above reproach.
There is danger lest in tho first stages
of the medical movement in literature
young writers will attempt TO cover too
wide a pathological area in their novels
and forget the memorable law of spe-
cialism that obtains in the medical pro-
fession itself.
To introduce a paretic or ataHic pa
tient in O archaeological novel would
noG only destroy the unity of the story,
but would justly expose the author TO n
suspicion Of q want of thoroughness. If
the writer has determined upon appcn-
dicitis as his plot, he should not waste
his energies upon irrelevant diseases in
his minor characters. He could gain
variety by introducing other forms of
enteric disorders, but should never eX-
coed the limits Of the abdominal region.
Until he has had thorough medical
training we think the course of a single
disease should supply him with all the
medico-literary material that he can
handle in an intelligent manner. A
blow on the head supplied the author Of
Goods Fool" with all the plot that he
needed. Ibsen's "Ghosts" is simply tho
decentralization of an Inherited brain dis
ease, and many a successful short story
is based upon a case of simple mania
with delusions. American Medico-Sur-
gical Bulletin.

An old tinker named Patrick Leonard,
undertook to leave a rapid moving electric

and was dragged for 20 or 80 feet. He was
uninjured, save for tho ~straining and
bruising he received.
The man who was suspected OF passing
the counterfeit money in Olneyville was
discharged yesterday afternoon from the
sixth Station, for want of sufficient evil
dence against him.
There were specimens Of what the hard
times are doing in the Eighth District
Cour this morning: Patrick Shanway,
John Coburn, James Regain and John Me-
Cartin. These men were arrested charged
with being Migrants. When arraigned
they gave a good account OF themselves.
III their statements are true, they are
in pretty hard circumstances. Their
home Is in Boston, and all were looking
for work here and had no money. They
were found sleeping in freight: cars when
arrested. This morning they were dis
charged with the warning IL caught again

Some young man broke the pump
handle at Olneyville square last evening.
As there was no flaw in the handle, Ii

the formality OF a judicial proceeding to
