Many years ago the manual labor OF
the artist in color was reduced 10
minimum; he no longer grinds his
colors, or makes his canvas and brushe 6
But up to the present day the artist in
burnt wood has toiled on with his rude
forge and burning-irons, with the de-
votion OF an old-time alchemist. Sim
gularly enough, relief from the discom-
forts of this crude mode of work has at
last come through the avenue which
brings relief from all physical ailments
that OF medicine. The thermocautery,
surgical Instrument invented for
cauterizing, has been adapted to the use
OF the artist so that he can work with
comparative freedom.
Formerly the fre-etcher employed
copper tools, not unlike soldering-irons,
set into wooden or other non-conducting
handles. These tools cooled rapidly,
and had to be constantly shifted, while
the oxidation of the copper necessitated
constant cleaning. What with feeding

naphtha gas, burning within. enables the
ARTIST TO work for hours, wholly indie
pendent of the forge, the bellows, and

another surgical cautery, is likewise
used in burnt-wood work, and cleo

means of heating the burning point.
With these facilities at hand, the (ry-

Not long ago Russian judge was
called upon to decide knotty point re-
lating to promissory note, which the
debtor had made payable on saint
Henry's Day" Now it happens tina,
there is no such saints day in the Ortho-
dox Russian calendar. Hence, how
could the court give judgment on =
bond in which it could not be said that
the debtor had made default? Yet
justice evidently required that tho
lender of the money should be repaid.
Then it occurred to the Judge, who had
a share of the shrewdness of Sancho
Panza or the wit of Joe Miller, that the
festival of "All Saints" must necessari-
ly include even the dubious saint in
question, and he gave Judgment accord
ingly for payment on that day.-N. Y.

after mis- arrival, sent the following tel

DR.. hansen replied to this message as
follows:

The Fran left Skjervo this morning
on her way to Tromsoe where DR.. Nam

Additional details received from
Skjervo regarding DR.. Nansen's Arctic
exploring ship, the Fran, are to the
effect that the boat drifted to a point
50 :95 degrees north. The greatest sea
depth obtained by sounding was Piss
fathoms. The lowest temperature noted
was 50 below zero.

expressing sentiments of the heartiest
welcome and congra tulating him on
the honor won for Norway. There is
great enthusiasm throughout the
town, bunting being everywhere dis
played. The decorations in the har-
Dor are especially fine.
a dispatch - the Aftenposten from
SkJerEo, says the FRAN reached Ouen
water about August Is. A member Of
the expedition expresses the opinion
that the Fran would have penetrated
much farther into the Arctic regions
and that perhaps the north pole would
have been reached if the Fran had not
been frozen in east of the New Siberi-
an islands. In the highest latitude
reached, S6.15 north, members of the
exploring party saw guillemots, full
mers, and narwhals, but no other signs
Of organc Fife We're apparent.
Professor S. A. 1Nadree, according to
reports received here, told Captain
Sverdrup who visited the aeronaut, that
it was too late to make the proposed as
cent and that he would probably soon
return to SptZbergen and make an
other effort to reach the North Pole in
a balloon next April.
The Fran, it is said, still has provis-
ions capable of sustaining her crew
in the Arctic regions for three years.
Fearing that the crush of the ice would
wreck the ship, Captain Sverdrup and
the crew were obliged after DR.. Nansen
left, to remove all the sledges provis-
ions, ammunition and light furniture.
Tromsoe, Norway, Aug 20.-The
Fran has arrived here. The town has
been decorated in honor of the event
and great enthusiasm is manifested.

So"
Oh. no. none of that in dealing with the
Cuban issue. The United States want no
concert of the Powers for the settlement
of this matter. Settlement by sucn
method would be a dangerous and unwise
precedent, and contravene a time-honored
policy of this country. That policy. in us
specific application to Cuba, was deilned
b. John Quincy Adams, and was broad
ened in the Monroe doctrine. Again.
about 1850. it was applied specifically TO
Cuba. when. in rejecting peremptorily the
invitation of England and France that
the United States join them in an agree
ment that no one of the three Powers
would attempt 10 gain exclusive controi
of the island. we declared that this gov
eminent considered the condition of cuba
as mainly an American question.
This declaration, which has several
times since been reaffirmed. was distinc
notice to the European Powers that no
proposition for joint interference in Cuban
affairs would be entertained or tolerated
by the United States. And 10 the credit
of MIR. Cleveland be it recognized that de-
spite the fragrant Inconsistencies Of his
course touching some other matters, ne
emphasizes the declaration and news 10
the line of our continuous Cuban policy
when in his message he says:
"Whatever circumstances may arise,
our policy and our interests would con-
strain us TO object TO the acquisition OF
the island or an interference with It's con-
troll by any other Power"
This is the safe and consistent attitude
the attitude our interests and our dignity
and self-respect as a nation demands That
we maintain. The European Powers are
now said to be seriously engaged in an
effort TO settle the Armenian question.
We wish them God-sDecd. We have no
disposition to question their right 10 IN
.terfare in the affairs of Turkey or any
other plague spot on the other side Of the
water. and we concede that joint action
on their part may be necessary and wise
whenever such interference is called for.
But the United States are strong enough
and independent enough Of other nations
10 settle the Cuban issue singie-handed'
and should the conditions on the island
reach stage at which we would be JUS
titled in interfering, we will make our
strength and our independence in the
premises manifest TO all the world.
