It was evident that something had

BOGUS OIL PAINTINGS.

Supposed to Be Little Gems, but Are
Really Cheap FraudR
Small oil paintings on wood, or what
appear to be oil paintings. are being
displayed and sold In many Of the
downtown stationery shops at prices
that appear to the inexpert to be very
reasonable, says the New York Mail
and Express. Many of them are by
artists of recognized prominence and
are admirably executed. Rosa Bon
heur, Meissonier, Hamilton and other
painters Of the same school and reputa-
tion are represented. and the paintings
sell for $3.50 pair. They are exc
cuted on a panel Of wood about 4 by
6. AS a matter of fact, the pictures
are not oil paintings at all. They are
made i. Paris. A work of some we'll
known master Is photographed on the
wood and then a couple of skilful
young women dab on some color in oil
and use the varnish brush freely after
ward. 1t would require an expert to
detect the difference between these al
legged oil paintings and the genuine
article. The cost OF production is not
more than Is cents, SO that the profit.

A Young Lady wipes Her Knife On

One of the most common mistakes
that people make at dinners is to use
fork or spoon at the wrong time. I
was at dinner last week and noticed
that a great many people began at the
wrong end of the silver, and before the
dinner was over some were eating
Strawberries with a knife and others
were stirring their coffee with table,
spoon. One young lady was particu-
larly mixed up, and began to wonder
how she was going to get out of her
scrape. She, too, saw that something
was wrong when she found that she
would have to eat steak with a tea
spoon or give away her secret by ask
ing for another knife and fork. Final
ly her face frightened up. and she had
evidently found an easy way to get out
of her dilemma. She waited until she
thought no one was looking and when
she saw good chance she slipped n
lot of the things she had used under
the table. When she brought them to
light again they were bright and clean,
but when the guests had left the host
noticed that where the young lady had
sat there werc several large grease
spots that looked as II someone had
used the table-cloth for dishrag.

Commander Booth Says None Shall BE
Permitted In the New Building.
Some newspaper men and women got
an impressive glimpse of the aims Of
the Salvation Army one day last week,
says the New York Press. Commander
Booth was showing the party over the
new building Just before 1t was opened
for public inspection. On each side OF
tho stage in the auditorium Is a large
window and both give light enough by
day with the glass roof over the top to
make artificial lighting before sundown
unnecessary. These two windows are
SO situated that ones first thought Is
what a magnificent effect could be cre-
ated IL the windows were filled with
stained glass. A young chit of wo-
man, a dinty little thing who does art
work for one Of the city papers, voiced
what was probably in everybody's
mind when she said: "Of course you
hope that somebody will give you
situated windows, Commander Booth?"
To the surprise of everybody the COM
mander replied to the young woman:
ND, never, never, never! we don't
want stained glass there nor anywhere
else. The aim of the Salvation Army
is to keep down near the lower strata OF
society. Stained glass is beautiful to
look at, but 1t removes religious or
ganization one or more steps from the
people. We won't have 1t because we
want to be as plain as the plainest and
as homely as the homeliest. We aim to
reach the great human family. the very
dregs, you may say. Of humanity.
Never forget that. We are pleased to
have the rich and wealthy patronize
us and even good-naturedly coddle us.
We thankfully accept your dollar. not
only because 1t does you good to give It,
but it helps us to get down nearer to
those we want to reach. We do not
want to rise. We want to go lower in
stead of higher. No stained glass for
the Salvation Army as long as live

quent cases OF blood poisoning are
among our employees, and the cause in
most Of these instances would doubt
less surprise you more. A scratch on
the hand from q calfs head or q pigs
foot often disables man for week,
and, strangely enough, in most every
case that has como under my notice
almost imperceptible.
"The first intimation the man has
OF his injury is swelling of the fore
arm, accompanied by smarting pain.
Both swelling and pain generally ex-
tend to the shoulder, under which a
large lump sometimes forms. Even
after the presence OF the scratch has
been in this manner demonstrated it is
often impossible to detect it. 1t is
usually caused, in the case OF the calf's
head, by the sharp edge on the bone
OF the neck, due to the carelessness of
the butcher who sewers tho head from
the carcass. II he does his work well
and his cleaver has severed the Join,
perfectly, all is we'll, for there is no
sharp edge to cut, but if he has missed
the joint by even q hairs breadth,
which happens in five cases out of ten,
there is an edge on the bone that will
probably work mischief.
"Of course, none of these cases has
ever resulted seriously, as prompt
measures are always taken, and as we
always insist that a man SO injured
Immediately consult physician. This
rule we never vary, for we feel bound
to retain q man on the pay roll while
suffering from such an accident, even
though he be untitled for work, and

rely, or the even less satisfactory
methods Of home surgery, would only

About three years ago had miser.

paralysis extended to my arm ana

Forest. whitfield Away.

A notable example of a big result
produced by small means is found in
the fact that lead-pencil users have
whitfield away several big forests Of
cedar trees in Europe and the supply
of wood suitable for lead pencils is
practically exhausted in the old world.
An order has Just been placed by a
noted German firm Of pencil makers
with a California lumber company for
a large quantity Of sequoia wood, which
is found to be the best wood now avail
able for pencils. The sequoia is the
big tree of California. 1t seems too
bad that the grand old giants should be
sacrificed, and especially that their end
should be lead-pencil shavings.

avoid danger to man or beast there was
need of, and a demand for. barbless
fence.
The proprietors Of this company
having spent more than ~ years in the
manufacture of wire fencing, recog-
nized this fact, and have produced the
best lines Of smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now In use. The success Of
this company Is due to the managers
adopting the true business principle OF
making good what they make, putting
enough material in their lines to make
them both strong and serviceab1e. in
stead of producing cheap fimsy ar
ticle only to meet the price Of a fence
that has never given satisfaction. This
Is what has made their fence SO popular
and in such great demand and to-day
they have over 40 special machines.
with capacity of over 20 miles Of
fence per day, and their fencing il used
in every state in the Union. The fence
most used is their Cable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing. Gable Poultry
Fence. Steel Web Picket Fence. and
Park and Cemetery Fence. and to COM
plete same they also make gates of wood
or steel frames to match. and also fur
nish iron posts. All of their styles Of
fencing are strong, neat. durable and
economical in price.
