THE PAINT MANS STORY.

the Detroit Free Press.

working with a mortar and pestle,
| asked him about the house and
most particularly about the
paint. He told me that he was
an inventor; that ten years ago
he had invented what he called
asbestos paint-a paint that
would not burn. He built a
house and laid on a coat Of his
lewly-found preparation. Short
ly afterward the interior of the
house caught fire and burned up
entirely, leaving the paint stand
ing. After he had cleared away
the debris, he spread a large
canvass where the single roof
had been and lived comfortably
inside the four walls Of paint 70,

lated enough money to build uI
the house inside the paint again
He did so and nailed the pain
on to secure the interior of the
house from falling down. "

Circuit Judge A. B. Grace gave
the pistol toter a rap. Refer

nearly 10000 homicides in the
United States last year, and
there were only 1853 legal execu-
tons. There we're 270 unlawful
executions-the death penalty

That there arc FIVE thousand theatres
in America, and that one million and a
half people attend them each weekday
night, spending seventy millions of
dollars annually on theatre-going, are
the surprising facts with which Mr..
Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor of
the New York Sun, will open an i'm
portant series in the next issue Of The
Ladies' Home Journal. The series will
be called 'The Theatre and Its People,"
and will run through seven numbers of
the magazine, lavishly illustrated with
pictures made by twelve different art
lists. The articles will treat of every
phase of the theatre, the play and the
actor, from the inside. and will tell bow
a theatre is managed; the actual money
which plays have made; how an actor
is trained and what the actors are ac-
tualIy paid how play is written and
what the authors receive; how a play
is rehearsed; the first night of a play;
how the actresses make up" and what
they use; and in minute way the two
last articles will show what goes on be-
hind the scenes on the stage during a
performance 1t is curious fact that
this will be the first time that the
theatre and the actor have ever been
exhaustiyely treated in a magazine, and
there is no book on the subject in ex-
iSteuce.

Pension Rulings.
Minneapolis Tribune,

Minneapolis Tribune
A correspondent. referring TO the re-
port of the proceedings of the recent
q. A. r. encampment at Philadelphia.
as published in The Tribune, asks:
"WEat is rule 2o5, so earnestly con-
demned, and what is rule 1854, so ear
restiy commended by the pension COM
mittee?"
The resolution, adopted by the en-
campment, to which our correspondent
refers, is as follows:
Resolved, Tha; this encamnment re-
snectfully presents to the pre- sident its
earnest conviction that rule 225, now in
practical effect in the adjudication of
claims for pensions, under section 2,
Of the act of June 81, 1890, in the pen
sion bureau, works grave injustice to
worthy ex-soidiers and ex-sailors, and
we express the hope that you will find
it consistent with your duties as an ex-
ecutive officer to abrogate this rule and
re-estahlish this principal as defined in
rule l6f. Under the operation of rule
1Gi, formulated and put into effect soon
after the passage of this act, unqres-
tionably responsive to public senti-
ment. and based upon sound legal
propositions, in word, the simple ex
preston of the letter and spirit of the
law, 4O0, 600 names were added to the
pension roll of the republic and to
which no objection was heard for years
after its PRONUNCIATION.
Rule 225 is to the effect that in order
to draw pension under the act Of June
II, 1890, man must be physically in
capacitated for manual labor. Under
this rule decisions have been rendered
TO the effect that deafness in one ear or
blindness IN one eye do not so disable
Il man from TIE performance of manual
labor.
This rule was softened by the applica-
ton of rule 1854, which is to the effect
that pension under the act above
specified should be adjudicated at the
same rate as if the disability was of ser
vice origin. Commissioner Lochren set
aside this rule on June 8, 1898, claiming
that it was not in accordance with rule
225. Under rule l64 the loss of an eve
or of TIE hearing OF one ear would en-
title man to a pension rate of $40 per
month, but under rule 225 he might be
cut down to 81, or rejected altogether.
1t can easily be seen why rule 225
should be condemned and rule l64 com
mended 10y the comrades of the q. A.
Il. Rule 1911 is the more humane. Many
an old veteran stands in need Of pen
sion. even if he is not utterly incapacit-
ated from manual labor.

The elaborate gowns of Miss Julia
Dent Grant, who is to be married Sept.
% at Newport, TO Prince Michael Can
tacuzene of Russia, is the talk of East
ern society. The following are among
the many gowns which haye been made
in Paris for Miss Grant:
A black silk gauze, to be worn at
court, is brilliant with threads of pure
gold wrought into a rich design of Flor
entine iris. Two trails of this gold work
pass up the front of the gown, while at
the lower part of the skirt it widens out
considerably SO that all the bottom of
the gown is weighted by its rich burden.
On the softly-gathered waist bodice
there is similar gold embroidery. A
solid gold narrow girdle, with a gold
buckle of Russian design, will be worn
at the waist
Another ball gown of Miss Grants is
made of white crepe de chine and
broad Brussels lace insertions, made
over white peau de sole. The long
trained skirt is striped horizontally
with bands of the crepe and lace, and
meets a simple little waist bodice made
entirely OF fine tucks of crepe, with a
band of Brussels lace at the decolletage
The feature of the gown is wonderful
embroidery of green leaves, starting at
the left shoulder and reaching to the
foot of the skirt. This is exquisitelv
fine handwork, and between the leaves
are sprays of orchids in shades of pink
and purple, green and white. These
flowers are made so we'll that the curled
petals of silk, velvet and chiffon deceive
an expert. There is a girdle of mauve
velvet, and the houncing of white tuIle
between the skirt and it's separate I'm
ing makes soft billows about the feet
A fish scale sequin gown is another
evening novelty in this trousseau. The
closc-fittlng princess robe is entirely
formed of overlapping greenish scales,
and falls upon tiounces of black NOUS
seine de sole. The decolIete bodice
and tops of sleeves are finished with a
wide putting of seafoam green mousse
line

Lunacy shows an alarming growth in
England. Statistics just published give
1G5.GS6 as the total of certified lunatics,
an increase of lila over the preceding
year. This is the greatest annual in
crease recorded by over 1000. The
rate of recovery also shows a backward
movement, from 1881 per cent to S6.S7.
Agricultural laborers provide the larg-
est proportion Of lunatics, attributable
to low standard of life and the use
of strong, cheap Indian teas. Clerks
furnish the next greatest proportion OF
lunatics. Here also hard. wearing, I'M
derpaid work and insufficient food is
the leading cause. 1t is contended that
the increase in lUnacy is more appar-
ent than real. and is due chiefly to the
law regulating the notification OF lu-
natics. but experts agree that the stress
o. modern life is the prime factor in
promoting lunacy.

The Oceanic, which is the largest
