Moi a PIeasurabIe Day.

The man was a wealthy and still young northern squire, selfish and self indulgent; childless, which was for tunate, for he was unfit to play fla ther's part, and suddenly widowed. It was to the funeral of the wife that my friend was professionally invited. It had not been a happy marriage. The man was gloomy not because of the be- reayement, but because of the solem- nity and seriousness it entailed. He would have gone away if he had dared and left her relatives to bury her; he did not like them, and swore. he would not be shut up in Q carriage with any one of them-he would ride alone. ''No," said my friend, who had great influence over him Gas indeed he had over most people with whom he was brought into contaet.) "You must not do that" There were good'reasons why he should not have gone alone. If you will not go with your relatives you must go with the clergyman" "The clergyman! Well, if I must, l must, but It will quite spoil my day."-Nine- teenfh Century.

The eye cannot be relied upon until aft CT considerable practice-until, in fact, it has been taught to see correctly. What the minds eye sees the hands can execute, and no more. What the stu- dent sees at the outset is not of much account; and it is only after he has dis covered this fact that earnest study and progress begin. The rate of advance ment depends upon the natural powers of observation, and their rapid or slow development.
 A strongly marked cast of hand or foot is usually considered the best thing 10 begin upon; then go on to the eyes, mouth and nose. The features of David are especially recommended for copy ing, being both large and sharp. The student may then undertake a mask from the antique. This kind of drilling continues for an indefinite period, until the features and the external anatomy are fully mastered. Every student of the National academies is required to take course in human anatomy to fa- miliarize him with the human propor- tions. This is called anatomy in art.

sash of turquoise blue were acces- sories not to be forgotten. A pale blue gauge embroidered with pink rosebuds was tempting. It was worn with white low shoes and rose pink parasol. Yel- low and white gauge draped over blue was one of the best combinations, worn with brown and white hat, blue and yellow lowered parasol and white shoes.
 Dotted null suits abound, as a mat ter of course, but split up usually in various combinations. For example g. pretty girl who is out one day in a bright silk bodice covered with gauge or chiffon and worn with a dotted null skirt will appear the next day with pink silk skirt and bodice of dotted ni@ll Grass green silk covered with embroidered muslin is the most popular wear of the moment, though white silk covered with black lace or net runs it hard for position.

An Unmertted Rebuke.

A well-known judge, noted for his tendency to explain things to juries, expressed in a recent case his own ideas with such force that he was surprised the jurors thought of leaving the box. They did leave however, and were out for hours. Inquiring the trouble, the judge was told one of the 12 was stand- ing out against the II. He summoned the jury and rebuked the recalcitranS sharply. Your honor," said the juror, may I say word?" "Yes, sir" saidl the indignant judge; what have you to say" Well, what I wanted to say is, I'm the only fellow that's on your side. flaw Notes.

TO BECOME AN ARTIST.
Some Points for Girls and Boys
 with Artistic Ability.
Encouragement Should be Given All Those Who show an Interest in This Line-Directions for Mod
 cling a Statue.
IConyright. 1Se7.l

Not every boy who amuses himself and the other members of his class by drawing funny pictures of his teacher may hope to become either great painter or a great sculptor. Neverthe- less there are plenty of brilliant exam ples of talent, displayed during child hood in just such ways, which has att tained the greatest fame for it's posses sor in advancing years.
 Frederick Remington, whose pictures of American Indians and horses have this country, used to spend hours trae- ing out images of horses with a sharp stick in the dirt of his grandfather's back yard.
 Paul Bartlett, a famous American sculptor, who lives in Paris, began his career by modelling likenesses of his grandmother in clay, one of which is now regarded as the best thing he ever did.
 Consequently, if @ boy or girl shows great interest in making likenesses of anything, in clay or with pencil or even penknife, the question is worth investi- gating, and with little encouragement the talent, If it is such, will soon de velop. In any case, children enjoy playing with clay just as they like to make mud pies and paper dolls.
 Any boy can make sculpter's outfit for himself, and then If he wants to amuse himself attempting to fashion busts of his father or mother or little sister, there is no harm done, except to the feelings of his models who may ob- ject to being caricatured.
 To such boys girls as are ambitious to become great sculptors, little ad- vice may not be unwelcome, and those who have no such dreams may listen, too, and go off and amuse themselves with the implements of creative art.

swer the purpose. A bowl of water standing underneath such a cover, will keep the work moist and in good condi- tion for several weeks.
 An easel for reliefs-a. common easel. but higher than usual; modeling- board, which is only a common board of any convenient width, with slats nailed across. a quarter of an inch apart, to keep the clay from slipping; to these things add few modelling tools, small and light, and the outfit is complete. It is neither intricate nor expensive. With these simple things, all the statues of the world have been modelled
 The modelling tools are very much ac- cording to the fancy of the workman. The best modelling tools are the ten fingers. Sometimes helps are needed, however, and for this purpose there are tools made of wire or boxwood. Wire tools for sculptors can be bought in any Tt furnishing store, but the boxwood implements the sculptor usually makes for himself.
 Some sculptors provide themselves with modelling costume. This Is apt to be long linen robe, reaching to the heels, to protect their clothes, and smoking cap or any old hat. Such sculptors as ]. Scott Hartley, J. o. Az Ward and others wear their old clothes as they would if gardening This is not at all necessary, however, and there aro many sculptors who abjure the old clothes idea entirely, William Clark Noble will work all day dressed as he would for an afternoon tea, and never soil his linen cuffs. He holds to the idea that a sculptor should never be so disrespectful to his art as to appear be- fore the masterpiece that he is creating in ungentlemanly attire.
 But after all these preparations have been made you have only your tools, a frame work for your bust or statue, and a lump of clay. This is all right as far as it goes, but you will find that your mechanical knowledge is of no use in sculpture without something higher. The first faculty to be developed is that of imitation. The student must first observe the relative proportions in the object placed before him; comparing for instance, finger to the whole hand an arm or the head in relation to the whole body. It is not only excusable, but necessary, for a beginner to take actual measurements with calliperss

One of the daintiest dresses seen on the lawn was of pink silk muslin pat termed with tiny punches of pink roses This skirt was finished at the hem with double frill and was worn over a white muslin slip hounced high with Valenciennes lace. Under this again was another skirt of white glaee silk. The bodice and long sleeves were GOV cred with white guipure applique in design of roses, the design appearing again as short rounded tablier on the skirt and as draped collar on the bod. ice. The shoulder puffs were of the patterned muslin and the broad sash of soft pink silk. A Marie Antoinette hat was the costume finish trimmed with garland of roses twined with broad pink ribbon.
 Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll was in beige-eolored grass lawn over mauye silk.

HOW TO MODEL A STATUE.

under your directions, but it is better to know how to do it yourself. The base is to be made of two slabs of half inch pine, about foot square, securely fastened together at the sides with two pieces of wood, each an inch thick and four inches wide. In the center of this you will insert an upright stick, nearly as long as your bust is to be high. Near the top of the upright you secure a cross piece, forming cross. This Is to be q support for the shoulder. You will now cover this skeleton work with clay until it reaches about half the required thick ness, and let it stand over night to dry and make a solid core or foundation for the artistic work of the outside.
 Should you decide upon making a statuette, your skeleton or frame work would be a little more complicated. For a figure two and half feet high, you should procure square iron bar about two feet long and an inch thick, with three legs or braces at the bottom con- taining screwholes by which the con triyance is fastened to wooden base Then take a piece of half-ineh lead pipe and with copper wires fasten it to the end of the iron bar, leaving it long enough to penetrate to the middle of the head. This allows the position of the head to be changed as desired.
 Now affix wooden brace where the shoulders are to be, and another at the widest part of the hips, and through holes in the upper braces arrange twisted copper wire or lead pipe so that it will extend through the arms. With similar attachments to the lower braces for the legs, and one or two ex- tra pieces of wood wired on to help support the weight, you will be ready to begin modelling. The skeleton for a large statue would be substantially the same; but many more supports would be needed, and they must be arranged with considerable mechanical skill to support the greatly increased weight.
 A modelling stand is necessary ad- junct at this stage of the proceedings. This is much like an ordinary office stool with revolving seat. For large statue, a very substantial revolving platform is needed. Have zinc-lined box or pail in which to mix and soften your clay so that you can work with it easily. Then do not forget that your statue must not be allowed to dry and crack over night. To provide against that, have Few old clotIs, rubber, wool or even cotton. Wet these thor oughly and cover your bust or statue when not at work on it, and, even when you are working, sprinkle it now and then, so that your modelling will be more facile. By many sculptors zinc cover is considered better than cloths, but any old rag well moistened will an-

BRYAN'S SPEECHES.

Examination of the complete. re- turns of the Ohio election disclose the fact that Mir Bryan's speech mak- ing tour in that state did not effect what it was intended to accomplish. When he was brought into the cam paign in its last week it was with the express purpose of trying to hold in the country districts the vote that was cast for the democratic ticket last year. The state democratic manag- ers felt confident of their ability to make. gains over last years vote in the cities; and Mir. Bryan was con- fined entirely Ito the rural districts
 In all he spoke in twelve counf tes What was the result? In those twelve countless according to the returns now compiled, the aggregate gain in dem- ocratic pluralities was 1,O53 and the aggregate gaf1 in republican plural ities was 2,050, a net republican gain of 907. Such a gain over the vote in a presidential year is rather re- m&rkable. While it is undoubtedly true that sympathy with B.yan's views is general among the Ohio far mars. it does not appear that his work as a stump speaker is particularly valuable except to his opponents.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are a few people in this town who imagine. that they can change the policy of a newspaper by stopping" their paper or withdrawing th,air ad- vertisememts in case the paper ex- presses opinions contrary to their own. To these we recommend the following story of Horaca Greeley An acquaintance of MT. Greeley got offended at ore of his articles in the Tribune, went to the office and stopped his subscription Later i'm the day he melt MT. Greeley and said: "I've stopped your paper" There must be some mistake,' replied Horace, flor I just came from the office, and when I left the presses were running as usual, the clerks were as busy as ever, the compositors were. hard at work, and the business was going om the same as yesterday and the day be- fore"
 "Ohv said the old subscriber, 'T didn't mean that had stopped the pa per; stopped only one copy of it, because I didn't like one of your edi- torials.'' "Pshaw!' reto.ted Grse1ey, s'If you expect to control the utter ance of the Tribune by the purchase of one copy a day, or if you think to find any newspaper WoIlh reading which will never express convictions at right angles with your own, you are doomed to disappointment

Tha: advantages of Phoenix as a win- ter home ought to be advertised ex- tensively in the east to the end that rich people who annually seek warm climate may know that there is a favored spot in Arizona. The time and money expended by the chamber of commerce in the last year sending out leaflets" and copies of "boom' editions of a newspaper might, in fhe opinion of The Republican, have been more prof1tably spent in advertising Phoenix in the eastern magazines and newspapers. The complaint already is heard that the most desirable tour iSts-thOse who rent commodious houses, patTonize the hotels eNten- sively and leave a wake of gold and silver wherever they go in town have as yet failed to materialize. Pos sibly they have failed to read the '1eafets,' and the Whltelaw Reid le..- ter on the back of tlhe chamber ot commerce letter heads, and the "spec- ial edition," and the soul stirring de, scriptiom of the dates grown in this | valley and shipped to the American I institute fair at New York.

 would reach the class that Phoenix ought to reach if it is ever to riva
