this paper a ready market for ideas of
pictures. The usual price for a good idea
IS $40. and this will be given Without any
design accompanying the description.
The weekly and monthly periodicals want
more perfect and finished work than the
dailies. They have a certain artistic stand
ard TO maintain. Their artists have the
time to perfect their work, and this counts
with them as much as the idea. Grant

cartoonists of the day employed by the
comic weeklies. and mis- salary is $4,000 a
year. He halls from Ohio, as does Opper,
OF Puck, and he is yet a young man: he
started in as a house and sign painter,
making a fair living at this calling until he
took to painting cheap pictures. From this
he graduated to his more ambitious calling
as a leading caricaturist ON one OF the most
popular and influential literary week.-Mrs..
His salary is well earned, for his work Is
careful and conscientious.
zimmerman, or ''Zim." as he signs him
self in Puck. is not exactly d caricaturist,
but he is certainly the leading artist in this
country on grotesques and burlesques.
Everything hat comes from his pen is ex-
aggerated. Hands, feet, head or body are
all distorted or exaggerated IN his PICTURES,
and the results are peculiarly grotesque. +.
b. Opper, Of Puck, is a comedy artist more
than a cartoonist, and his pictures are all
neat and the figures of correct proportions.
His salary Is $1,000 a year, and his clever
little pictures are worth the money the pro-
prietors of Puck pay for them. His work
is performed exclusively for this paper.
Owing to the rapidly charging held of
good cartoons and comic pictures, a young

recognized. The foundation for success in
this work is a good knowledge of drawing,
a quick perception of the humorous side OF
public matters and events. and a close OBJ
servation of details and general nowledge.
Above all, however, the conception must
be good. There are plenty of artists who
can make good pictures after the idea is
given to them, but to originate iS just as
important for the artist as for the writer.
The caricaturist is the humorist whose pic
lures must tell the story just as effectually
as the writer who uses the words instead of
straight lines and curves.

How Nature Builds Rockeries.

p. E. ReXford, in Ladies Home Journal.
The fact is. the rockery, to be a success,
must be an evolution instead of a creation.
Attempt to construct one after any set
plan and you are sure to fail with it. The
most satisfactory one l ever saw was one
that made itself, so to speak. The stones
Of which it was composed We're hauled in
winter and dumped down carelessly in a
great heap. In spring the owner looked
them over and came to the conclusion that
it would be impossible for him to arrange
them in a more picturesque manner and he
had the good sense not to attempt il. He
worked earth in between them and planted
wild vines and ferns there, and his rockery
was a success. If possible, a rockery should
be located in a secluded portion of the
grounds. Rockeries as nature makes them
are generally in secluded hooks, where all
kinds of wild things feel at home. and We
should try TO carry out as completely as
possible the idea of the wildness which
prevails in natures haunts-to domesticate
wildness, so to speak. This cannot be done
satisfactorily where the grounds are close
to the street. If the grounds are too small
to allow you to give the rockery a place
at some distance from the house, and you
feel that you must have one plant trees
and shrubs so as to give II an air OF par
tial seclusion at least.
