Methods Used by Artists Who Design
 Popular Grotesque Posters.
 People who dine late at night in certain uptown restaurant may have noticed weIl-drl ssed, wild-eyed, hag- gard-faced, dyspe !tic man devouring night after night with apparent relish dishes which orlv the ultra brave have courage to eat more than once month. That man is an artist, says the New York World, and eating indigestible food is a rart of his business, for he is a maker Of posters. Since the use of grotesquc posters. built on the lines of Aubrey Beardsleys phantom fan cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee Johanna's savage sketches, las become general as means of advertising news papers it is no more than right that the world should know how the de- signs are conceived.
 The case of this wild-eyed, haggard- faced, dyspeptic artist alone will be cited. His may or may not be the method used by all the better poster makers. Every night he goes to this uptown restaurant, eats a welsh rab- bit, cold broiled lobster, two cream rolls and dish of ice cream and drinks quart of cheap claret. Then he goes home, drinks two glasses of ice water, retires and the nightmare does the rest. In the morning he S tches the hor- TOTS he saw in his dreams and finishes them as the orders for posters pour in. He is making a fortune in the business.

Eye Changes Position.

It is not generally known that tle young fiat fish have an eye on each side of the body, and that it is only in the adult stage that the eyes are both on one side. There has been much dis cussion among scientific men as to the mode in which the change takes place, out in the founder the eye has been observed to travel over the 1idge of the head, while in some other fish it passes directly through the soft tissue of the young fish to the other side.

PROPOSED ROAD TO GLOBE.
A Proposition on Foot to Connect
 With the Great Copper Camp.

A Proposition on Foot to Connect
 With the Great Copper Camp.
 George Schornick of Mesa was in the city yesterday. He has just returned from a trip over the proposed new wagon road to connect this valley with the great copper camp. MT. Schornick says that the proposed road is far superior to the one surveyed some years ago and could be built at one-haf the cost of the one surveyed. The new route was discovered by Dud ley Craig, cattleman, who is thor oughly familiar with the topography of the almost inaccessible country surrounding Globe. He with MT. Schornick has been trying to interest the Copper Queen and Buffalo Mining companies of Globe to assist in build ing it, but since the Gila Valley & Northern railroad has been built the companies show no enthusiasm over the matter. A few years ago the Cop per Queen subscribed 0,000 towards building a wagon road from Globe to Mesa, but the price of copper went down and shortly afterwards the mines closed down and there the mat ter dropped. The old survey would have cost in the neighborhood of $40, 1000 to have made the road a practi- cable one, but by the new route one half that sum is all that is needed.
 The people do not realize the neces- sity of communication with Globe by a direct wagon road The town has a population of about 2,20O souls and all the produce is shipped in from Cali fornia and Kansas. The distance from Globe to this valley is only about eighty miles and yet all the produce used there is received from outside of the territory. To get the Globe trade would mean many thousands of dol lars annually to our farmers. The route of the new road as mapped out by MT. Schornick runs from Mesa di- rectly east to Huey's ranch; thence in a northeasterly direction to the sum- init passing within three miles of Sil- yer King. From the summit the road runs through the Haunted canyon to Bloody Tanks, from thence to Globe. It would only be necessary to construct about sixteen miles of the road over the summit of the mountains, the re- mainder of the road requiring little work. The Haunted canyon would be made easily accessible, as it can now only be reached by trails. It is a beautiful spot, there being plenty of water and trees, making an ideal sum- mer resort. The country surrounding the Haunted canyon is a rich, but un- explored mineral region owing to it's inaccessibility. With the outlay of a few thousand dollars this valley could not only capture the Globe trade, but could supply that entire section with produce. An effort will be made to interest enough capital to build the road

Rash Promise.

A story is told of a London magistrate who had a London lady up before him the day after Christmas whom the po- Hceman said he had found helplessly tipsy. He told her he would let her go, considering the festive season, if she would promise never to enter public house again. "But, your honor," said the lady, q was not drunk; I was drugged." "Well," said the magistrate, who saw that she was fencing, "I'll let you go if you will promise never to enter a drug store again." To save the fine she promised and departed. All her soda water is gone.

Apropos of the "new woman," some body resurrected an old story the other day about Mrs. Juliet Ward Howe tkat may or may not be true. At all events, it was worth resurrecting. The story goes that Mrs. Howe was one fine morn ton, when she met a friend who asked her how Dr. Howe was. "Dr. Howe ?" repeated Mrs. Howe, vaguely. Then, as if suddenly recollecting herself: 'Oh, he's quite well, Pm sure. I remember seeing in the morning paper that he presided at some meeting or other last evening"

MORRISON'S FAUST
To Be Presented at the Opera House on the 21st.-A Synopsis
 of the Play.

In brief the plot is as follows: Faust, a learned alchemist, doctor of philosophy, having reached that age when all the pleasures that this world contains fail, invokes the aid of the spirits to give him new emotions that life might be worth living. In response to his frenzied appeal, Mephisto appears and agrees to give Faust youth, health and passions, and all the pleasurable enjoyment to be drawn therefrom, upon condition that when the gamut has been run, his soul shall belong to Mephisto- Faust is dazzled and held spellbound by beautiful vision of Marguerite, wrapped in an angelic halo, which fades away as he passionately rushes upon it. He accedes to Mephisto's demand and compact is drawn between them The aged philosopher is transformed into a handsome youth, burning with pas sion and eager with anticipation. From this time forward his one thought is of Marguerite. Then fellow his meetings with her, their mutual love, his betrayal of her confidence, the poisoning of her mother, while seeking only to make her slumber more deeply, the return of Valentine, her soldier brother, whose anguish and rage know no bounds when informed of his blast ed home. He meets Faust and by the Devils aid is killed. Insidious Mephisto exeites the justice loving neighbors of Marugurite by in forming them of the seeming un- natural murder of her mother, and she is carried off to prison. Faust finds his way into Marguerite's cell, through the intervention of the Devil, only to find poor Margue- riet partially demented. He pro poses to carry her away to escape the dread consequences of her crime, but at this time the gentle spirit goes out and Mephisto claims Faust as his own, who is saved by the intervention of the spirit of repentance and remorse. This story made famous by the immortal Goethe(the Shakespeare of ofGermany) is standard, and as presented by Morrison's company is famous the country over. At the Opera a-house next Tuesday night

Extra large lowered or embossed paper shows love for show. and gaudy ruled paper is way out of date. The style is now plain white or a delicate tinge unruled, always envelopes to match, something similar to our Grecian Cabinet or Lenox Cabinet, a late one for acceptance to go to the theatre, ball or euchre.
