tie by little these people are coming to
see the superiority of our medical treat

they will sometimes turn to our hospi-
tails for help. But they ask no other aid
from us. If Chinaman needs any mon

him without burdeniDg our public phi

men of one clan or friends from different
clans to band together to establish a
loan fund, every man giving so much
toward it week by week. This is loaned
TO needy men without security or inter-

and thus many man is carried through

were evidently in high spirits when
they entered an almost empty carette

the tubes which carry the fares along

CHESTER, Pa, Dec. "A fire, supposed
TO have originated from a partly extin-
guished CRATE fire in the library, destroyed
the summer house of Mrs. Mary A. Hatch,
widow of the late broker, Nathaniel Hatch,

Sanford Hatch, a son, and a friend were
on the premises before the fire and had
dinner in the vacated house, and Mrs
James kirkpatrick, wife of a farmer
built fire in the library CRATE Before
the young men left, the fire was extin-
guished, they say.
Flames were seen issuing from the libra
ry, and an effort was made TO save the val
liable furniture, but when the basement
door was broken in the interior of the
house was roaring furnace, and nothing
was takten out. The house was completely

sENEFELpER's DISCOVERY.
Tho Great Valus of Iithography In the
Wnrld Of Modern Art.

World OF Modern Art.
The full significance of Senefelder's
great discovery, just 100 years ago. was
not so much that q calcareous stone
may be bitten by weak solution Of
acid, so that the raised portion when
creased (the surrounding parts being
wet) may print in a press like q wood
cut-though with a scraping, not o di-
rect downward, pressure-but it consist
edin the demonstration, in the first place,
that prints from its surface may be re-
duplicated in vast numbers without Wis
ible deterioration, and in the second,
and still more important, that each such
print is practically IN original. Nay,
more than this. As N. II. p. Dillon re-
minds me in panegyric on his favorite
art, the greatest merit Of this method oe
preserving and indefinitely multiplying
q drawing lies in the escape Of the artist
from the traduttore traditore-from mis-
representations by engraver or by cam
era. Indeed, when the artist has made
his design upon the stone itself, each
impression from it is as much the
original as each and every photo
| graphic print taken from a negative is
an original and not "a copy Of any other
thing Even when the artist has drawn
upon transfer paper instead Of on the
stone proceeding for convenience sake,
which, in the opinion of some purists,
is held in a measure to invalidate the
name Of lithography as applied to it,
though not thereby rejecting in any de-
gree on the beauty Of the work itself,
the impressions taken are still originals,
inasmuch as the actual work, the artist S
own lines and dots, have in due course
been transferred bodily by mechanical
pressure to the surface Of the stone, and
this, after il has been linked and printed
FROM renders each proof then taken Of
equal excellence. And the point of it all
is this, that until the stone is linked ano
a print taken the artists work is not
complete; so that every print does really
become a genuine original -- NJ. II.

Of iron-and few like pieces are held

The Tumble Weed.

Tumble weeds spread themselves in a
wholesale fashion, Instead of sending
the separate seeds out into the world
with wings or hairs TO carry them, the
whole plant breaks off near the root,
when these are ripe, and goes rolling
along tho ground before the wind. The
bare, sun scorched deserts of the great
west produce several tumble weeds, and
there are some in the prairie region. It
is natural that they should be most
abundant where there are no hills nor
trees TO stop them IN their course. But
we have one tumble weed in the east
the old witch grass, so called maybe be-
cause it rides the wind like an old bell
dame In September this grass spreads
its head, OF paniole, with hairlike, pur-
pie branches in every sandy field. When
the seeds are ripe, the plants are blown
across the field, often piling up in masses
along fences and hedgerows. AS might
be expected, the hair grass, which has
so effective a way Of spreading itself, is
found throughout the United States
from ocean to ocean. Thomas II. Kear-
