WONDERFUL INDUSTRY.
a w,.eo.s,n Man Has Worked Tea Xsoso
- EtSf~en Cabinets.

a Wiseonssn Man Has Worries Tea xsoso
On Fifseea Cabinets
Out in the wilds Of Wisconsin in the
little rural village of Nartintown, Green
county, lives one of the most industrious
men of the century. says the New YORK
World. He IS Peter Haase. q cabinet
maker. Ten years ago he conceived tho
idea and perfected plans in detail OF iae
most ingenious and elaborate eomo'na-
ton bookcase and writing cabinetin the
world Having saved enough money to
support him the remainder of bis life.
he began the construction of not only
one of these cabinets but of Is. finishing
a certain part Of each at the same time
before advancing farther
The cabinets are inlaid with all OF the
native woods, the boards having been N
hts shop seasoning Tor over tS-vs-~
When completed the IS cabinets VIII
contain 4.ooo.ooo pieces of wood. Some
idea of the lime required for the COM
pletion of this undertaking may be lad
by knowing that IL would take man
working eight hours a day one year 10
simply sort and count a million pieces,
many Of which will have to be handled
20 times by Mr.. Haase before being per
manently adjusted. The top OF each
cabinet is TO contain 1900 pieces and
each OF the posts 1000 The aged
workman figures that il viii take him

pieces Of furniture viii be completed
At the same time.
Mr.. Haase is II years of age. but hale,
hearty and full of hope and determine
ton to complete this wonderful work,
10 which he applies himself enthusiasts
tically every workday. His patience
and perseverance are remarkable.
He counts on each cabinet being worth
s5.ooo-s75. 900 for the lot-when com
pleted. and believes that investing his
time in making them viii prove more
profitable than spending his money ON
life insurance would have been.

PORTRAIT PAINTING.
Great Advance Made by Sixtoenth-CSAr
I'm xirea

Great Advance Made by Sixteenth-CsA-
tury Artists.
The modern practice of having pcr.
traits of individuals seems to have
Aprung up naturally enough with the
popularity of easel pictures, and this
again was much Influenced by the intro
duction OF oil painting. Whether An
topello of Messina really acquired the
art from the Van Eycks or from Lucas.
Of Leyden, as some have conjectured,
IS very doubtful, but it was certainly
he who introduced the new art process
INTO Venice, whence it spread all over
Italy.
We have now come to the full de-
velopment of the art of painting that
sprang up toward the close of the 18th
century and which was chiefly en-
bodied in four great men, Leonardo,
Raphael, Michael Angelo and Titan.
All of those were great portrait painters
in the true sense of the term, with the
exception of Michael Angelo, who sell
dom condescended to easel pictures
ana who never worked in oil.
The great advance made by the 10Th
century painters over the pre-Raphael.
ties was in the much-fuller utilization
Of the resources of chiaroscuro. Up
to this time the colors used were mostly
clear and light, and only so much shad-
ing was introduced as was necessary
to give relief to the figures. The value
of shadow in itself was hardly appre-
ciated; in fact, the whole conception of
painting was to show everything as
far as possible in full light.
The great innovator in this matter
was Leonardo. Being, as he was, a.
much q man of science as painter, the
problems of light and shade intereste::
him in both capacities. and he invest;-
gated them in something of the mod
crn spirit. BY the aid of the knowl-
edge thus acquired he succeeded in Civ
ing to his figures a roundness and re-
lief that had been hitherto unknown.
In fact he carried it so far that they
are sometimes overmodeled. u Nine

materials ana Implements for Treating
the Finger Nails.
Hot water is the first requisite, and a
thorough washing or soaking of the
hands. This Is best attained by hav-
ing the hot water poured into basin
continually for two or three minutes.
The hands must be allowed to soak for
fully five minutes, and it is we'll, in
stead of soap, to wash the hands very
thoroughly in bran, which makes the
skin soft and white. After the hands
have been thoroughly cleansed the nails
should then be attended to. With a
piece of orange wood stick sharpened to

rolled around the point and wet with
the acid that comes for this purpose
every particle of dirt and stain should
be removed. The hands must then
again be washed, this time in warm,
not hot, water. Scissors, very sharp
and fine, must then be taken, and all
loose flesh at each side of the nails care
fully trimmed. The nails must lie
shaped in a pointed oval All roughness
must be filed away and the flesh ut

and firmly back. so that the half-moon.

good form to have so much polish on
the nails that they look as though
they had been buttered. as was the
fashion two or three years ago. But q

and the end Of tho finger, then washed

HELPFUL AUNT MARY.
NE Was Always Looking Out for Other
Peoples Interests

NE Was Always Looking Out for Other
Peoples Interests.
There is dear old lady who visits her
uepLews and nieces in New York occa-
sionally, whom we may call Aunt Mary.
and who, while expressing her appreci-
alton of the delights Of city life, finds
much fault with certain phases of met
ropolitan existence.
"You never know your nearest neigh
bors." she protests. The folks next
door may be robbers. and pickpockets.
and everything, for all You know"
But il they are, we don't want to
know them, auntie," returns favorite
nephew. Fancy calling on friend,
and when you go to leave your card
find that he has picked your pocket
of your card-case, not to mention your
watch and purse"
"And as for recognising that
stranger exists in public. why, it's a
crime" Aunt Mary will continue, warm.
ing up to her subject. "A body might
break his neck here, and no one would
speak to him."
But, auntie," goes on the incorri-
gible, "there are so many people here
that we can't go round with splints
and adhesive plaster and that sort Of
stuff in our pockets, and If we see a
strangers head wobble rush up and
offer the things to him with the idea
that he's just snapped Off his neck"
But recently, in returning home on
the train, Aunt Mary had a chance to
demonstrate her theories. In the seat
ahead of her was q young couple who
enlisted her favorable attention. She
conceived them to be newly married,
and her heart warmed toward them
without delay. The train soon stopped
at q small station, and they left the
car. She observed them on the plat
form outside, and just before the train
started she happened to spy a paste
board box tied up with a bit of string
in the seat they had deserted. "Goed-
ness" thought Aunt Mary, they're SO
intent on each other that they've for
gotten their luggage" She seized it
and looked out of the open window. The
girl stood by the baggoge-room door,
the man having apparently gone in
side. Aunt Mary waved the box at her.
She answered. but the clang of the
engine-bell drowned out what she said.
Again she waved the box; the other
shook her head. The train started;
Aunt Mary cast the box out violently.
1t struck the platform at the feet Of
the girl, the string broke, and out rolled
a half-dozen pairs of new socks, several
starched cuffs and collars, a pair of sus-
penders, and a couple of white shirts.
They've got 'em, ANYHOW" thought
Aunt Mary, as she settled back in her
seat. Lucky saw It. Curious how
forgetful young folks can be. But"
She looked up and met the reproach-
full gaze of the man standing by his |
empty seat.
Madam" he said, "the-er-young
lady stops at that station, but 1 go on |
to Buffalo,"
But how was body TO have known i
lt?" says Aunt Mary, when she relates |
the incident.-Harper's Magazine.
