Wait TIL the Summer Comes

A good story is related of a small
tradesman in a Welsh town. A short
time ago a large lake e the town
became frozen over for the first time
in many years, and large numbers of
people from "a neighboring city came
over for the purpose of enjoying some
skating. AS this sport was a novelty
to the residents, they became also
DESTROYS of entering into it, and be
sieged the local ironmonger fol
skates.
Incredible as it may appear, this in
dividual had never heard of such ar
ticles, but, disdaining to admit his ig
norance, replied that he had not any
in stock. Wearied at last, however
by repeated orders for skates he re
marked to his wife:
"Mary, we must lay In a stock of
these skates, for, look you, if there's
such a great demand for them nov
what will it be in summer when the
tourists come! "--Tit-Bits.

The HlRCk Diamond.

There is a stone called black dia-
mond, and it is exactly what it is
called. Diamonds are seldom water
white, as jewelers. say, but are oft
ener tinged with yellow or brown.
When these colors are positive they in
crease the value of the stone, but
when they only a shade they cheaper
it. Blue. green, yellow, pink, and
brown diamonds are greatly priced
when they are deep in color and clear.
The black diamond is less of a rarity
and has little beauty, although it is
sought by collectors when it can be
had without flaw. In form, In weight,
in hardness, in composition it is the
same as the transparent diamond and
owes its ~blackness to bits of carbon
that have failed to crystalline. Usu-
ally diamonds that are black or spot
ted or otherwise off color or are too
greatly fawed for use as gems are
broken up into drill points and into
powder for cutting and polishing

A NEW ART PROCESS
The MOnOtype Craze In Paris il
Reaching Over Here.

The MOnOtype Craze in Paris IL
Reachin Over Here.
An effective departure in art is the
new monotype that is beginning to
find its way to America from Paris,
where it has enjoyed for some months
a violent popularity. The process was
discovered by Hubert Herkimer. The
artistic folk of Paris were quick to
see it's possibilities. and the fame there
of flew like wild fire through the in
fiamnIable painters quarters. Mono
type parties have been one of the lat
est fads of these a~ppreciative people.
Artists infected with the craze and
their curious friends gather in some &C
cessible studio in ardent groups to
turn out these pictures. The excite
ment lies in the fact that no one can
foresee quite how they will turn out,
the pleasure, not in the novelty, though
that, of course, contributes to it, but
mostly in the potent truth that in no
other way can the same effect of light
and shade be obtained.
To produce the monotype the artist
paints his study upon a zine plate,
which is put through a press. AS the
name implies. only one impression is
produced. Those that are done in one
color are the most successful as yet.
though some of the two-colored at
tempts are very charming. The sub
lety of certain delicate effects, as, for
instance, sunlight on water, is rem
dered by this new phase of art III a
truly marvellous manner Although
the cordiality of Paris may not be ex
pected. perhaps in America for the
monotype, there can be no doubt that
they will be warmly received here,
when they are once at home in our
art exhibits. aud when, too, the public
has learned TO understand them sutfi-
GENTLY to appreciate the fact that a
~favOrite study. produced in this way
will not be found duplicated in a
neighbours drawing room; this is now
the fear of the careless art patron. who
seems to have some hazy idea OF
etchings in his mind.
The practical wife of an artist who
has lately returned from Paris with
the monotype fever raging in his
blood. complains ruefully: "Why my
husband took the clothes wringer ava,
from the maids for a press to produce
those pictures.' She smiled with g
woman's superiority as she added
"He said they could have it bach
again! 1t would take at least three
hours to remove that oily paint will
%turpentiDe every time they used it,
With a sigh: 81 have bought q neN

even to such gems of art as this wifi,
displays with pride that must soften
if it does not efface, the domestic in
convenience.
The aesthetic side is Venetian scene.

A. Plague of Bees.

Some time ago It was announced
that bee farming had been taken up
at Gennevillers, n of the most loath-
some industrial suburbs of Paris. This
was treated as a joke, but the news
is. our correspondent says, neverthe-
less true, and the project of the Seine
has just received a petition from the
Inhabitants to abate the nuisance. The
becs live upon the sugar retineries of
the neighborhOod, clearing away all
the dust on the roofs and even land
ing on the bare backs of the workmen.
1t has been stated by a sugar retiner
that every hive in the neighborhood
carries away 20 shillings' worth of
sugar in IA year from the factories. He
does not, however, complain of this
loss, but of the irritation the perpet-
ual buzz inhicts on the workmen.

visible. and so on until 6 O'Clock is
again reached, when a spring and
lever attachment returns the entire
fan to it's first position. The enamel
painting on the fan is wonderfully
fine. and it is surprising that the wear
and tear of more than $50 years has
not spoiled the beauty of the painting.
The little gilt snake at the left lower
corner always points to the proper
hour and at the same time serves as a
rest for the fan leaves not in view.
Another clock from the collection of
Baron Groillier de Serviere is de-
scribed in a pamphlet Of 1719 as "a
tinplate upon the border of which the
hours are engraved as upon the dial
of a clock. When this plate is filled
with water and a small turtle made of
cork set afoat in it, the turtle will
always point with its mouth toward
the right time" From this design
Mr.. Planchon has constructed the
magnetic clock, which has excited SO
much curiosity at the Amsterdam eX-
position. III consists of two parts,

A New Electric Tricycle..

Charles H. Burrows of Willimantic,
Conn, has invented an electric car
riage which he is confident is the most
practical yet made. 1t is built in the
form of a tricycle., the forward wheel
being the driving wheel. This wheel
is constructed with two rubber-tired
rims, between which is what corre-
spends with the sprOcket in the bicy-
Gle. The electric motor is carried in a
box over the driver, and is connected
with it by a sprocket chaiDA The pow
err is stored in a battery between the
two rear wheels, and is carried to the
motor by flexible wires. A seat capa-
BILE of carrying from one to three per-
sons is over the small rubber OF pneu-
matte tire wheels. The guiding device
is similar to that of the ordinary bicy-
Gle. The frame is of the bicycle style,
and strong enough to do the work.

His Grandfather, a Re~volutionary Sol
dier, and His Father, Both Died of
Paralysis, Yet the Third Gener-
alton Is Cured Tho Method.
(From the Herald, Boston, Mass.)
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky,
a. stroke of paralysis came to Mr.. Frank
T. Ware, the well known Boston auc-
tioneer and appraiser, at 235 Washing
ton street. He went to bed one night
about six years ago seemingly In robust
health. When he awoke his left side
was stiffened by the deadening of the
nerves. The interview er sought out Mr..
Ware to get the facts. He gave the in
teresting particulars in his wi way
THE first shock CANE very suddenly
while l was asleep, but it was not last
ing in it's effects, and in a few weeks l
was able to be about. A few months
after, when exhausted by work and
drenched with rain l went home in a
very nervous state. The result was a
second and more severe shock, after
which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
my grandfather, who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War. and lost an
arm in the struggle for American indie
p~endence, died finally of paralysis. My
father also died of paralysis. although
1t was complicated with other troubles,
and so I had some knowledge of the IA
tai character of the disease which is he
reditary in our family. After the sec
ond shock I took warning, for. in all
probability, a third would carry me on.
Almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and 1 tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do n
good, electricity, massage n special
lists, but to no effect.
1.-The only thing I found that helped
me was DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
verify believe that If 1t hadn't been for
those pills I would have been dead
years ago.
Eyes, 1 still have a slight reminder of
the last attack six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
left foot drags a little, as the paralysis
had the effect of deadening the nerves.
But l can still walk a good distance,
talk as easily as ever, and my general
health is splendid. l am really over sew
enty years old, although I I'm generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
1.-THE Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and 1 believe that is why
am so well.
Mr.. Ware has every appearance of a
perfectly healthy man, and arrives a
his office promptly at eight o'clock ev'
cry morning, although he has reached
an age when many men retire iron
active life. He says that in hi:
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved If Pink Pills hat
been o~btainable at that time.

A Dutch Funeral Chr.

A funeral car in Holland is the
queerest and most Misunderstanding
of conveyances. Imagine the horses
entirely hidden under long, sweeping
draperies of black cloth, like the
steeds in the illustrations to FroiSsart.
These draperieS reach to the ground,
and all that is seen of the horse is
his solemn eye peering through the
eye-holes. The car itself is drien by
a coachman draped also in black, with
a perfectly huge shoel hat. rather like
that of Don Basillo' in The Barber
of Seville" only much more eXagge-
rated; while the coffin, or its absence,
is completely hidden from view by
the mass of heavy draperies that de
scend from the roof of the car nearly
to a level with the wheels. On the
whole. the car looks like a perambu-
latiug mass of black cloth, and is
neither beauteous nor imposing,
