SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY.
Its Preparation In Modern Theaters
an Intere sting Process.

The preparation for q new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned is most
interesting. A complete model In min
nature is made, about the size Of one
of the German toy theaters seen in the
shops. The picture is carefully painted;
the rocks, if there be any, and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard, and if the
scheme be an interior there are real
curtains in miniature, flights Of steps,
and the hangings, all seriously worked
out. It is something that would de-
light the heart of a boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced, and are then put away
on shelves, alas! only to warp and be-
come covered with dust.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per-
Torrance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; SO there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers Of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may be
obtained.
When every detail has been settled,
then the great acres Of canvas are
spread on the paint frames, and the
drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are filled
with paints, which are mixed with
water and a size, and enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas. 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist, who dashes on the paint with
no apparent care and who has to work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries, which it does quickly

COOKING VERSUS MORALS.
Perfect Meals Are Il Saving Grace to
Many Men.

When q man does not get the stimu-
lating nOurishment which his nature
Graves, he resorts to liquor to supply
the want. With this fact staring one
in the face, is it not wise to teach that
unfailingly good food, with all the ele-
mcnts that stimulate and nourish the
body and the brain, has it's moral as
we'll as it's physical benefits?
There are cases on record proving
the benefits of public school cooking,
where the domestic sky has been per-
fectly cleared Of clouds because good
food was offered where before it had
been badly cooked, and consequently
did not properly nourish. In one home
the substitution of a we'll cooked cup
of cocoa for the sloppy, herby tea that
had become component part OF every
morning meal, and a nice Indian cake
or plate Of mullins for the dry bakers
loaf, began q work Of reform. The
father was proud Of the daughters
skill as a cook; the mother, who had
grown careless and shiftless and in
different, was shamed by it. The con-
sequence was better provision on the
part of one or more care in preparation
on the part of the other.
The mother was by no means above
turning to account some Of the prac-
teal knowledge the daughter had ac-
Quired under such competent training,
and she began also to brush up her
own knowledge that she had carelessly
allowed to fall into disuse. The re-
suit is a happy home, united family,
a cheerful, contented, busy wife, and a
man who puts into the family larder
what formerly went to the saloon.-

THE RED SHIRTS.
C4snvicts Who Wear Them In the
Penitentiaries of California.

There are men in the penitentiaries
OF California who are favored with
red shirts, but they are not made par
ticularly happy thereby.
When a convict has once worn the
crimson shirt, he hopes as ardently as
a convict can hope for anything that
the warden will never make him wear
it again. 1t means that he has tried
to escape and failed.
But that is not ALL Henceforth he
is a degraded man in prison circles.
His time credits are gone. Solitary
confinement, dungeons and bread and
water may be his portion. He is
watched, suspected by the officers,
pointed out and ''eXplained' to visitors
and newcomers. Among the 700 con-
victs in the jute mill his req back may
be distinguished at a glance. If he be
away from there a moment, the guards
know it. Then the prison bell rings.
the officers assemble, bloodhounds are
unclaimed and the hunt begins.
Some of the red shutters at San
Quentin are among the most daring
fellows that ever scaled a prison wall,
and every man of them has run the
gantlet Of guard and Calling gun. Any
body in stripes who breaks for liberty
is liable to be riddled with lead within
60 seconds. The convicts know this,
but they also know that beyond the
gray stone walls there are green hills
and deep ravines d-possibly-free
dom. The man who is sentenced to die
on a prison cot is willing to stake his
life for liberty. His days and nights
are spent preparing for the game. If
he wins, the ICONS" he leaves behind
are jubilant, and many are the tales
of pluck and luck they will tell in
memoriam. AS a rule, no class Of
people stand by each other like veter-
an "cons."-San Francisco Call.

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
It's overwhelming Effect Upon an
American Tourist.

There is no doubt that Gibraltar is,
from the nature Of it's location, the
strongest fortified spot on earth,'' said
a recently returned tourist, but the
English officers who are on duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it. They have very NONSENSE
cal rules and regulations governing the
fertilization, and one of them is that
no American can be admitted to the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed to wander all around the outside
as long as they care to.
Il do not think the combined guns Of
the rest of the world, all working to-
gether and for II hours each day, Sun
days and public holidays included, for
one year, could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock q quarter Of q mile thick, and
such q thing as doing any damage in
q military sense would be simply nom
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
sarily have to be exposed in making
it's attack This exposure would have
to be within range of the guns Of the
fort, even if they are so years out of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns,
for with all that is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are out Of sight Of each other.
"While all this is admitted by mill
tary men of all countries, it seems
funny that there should be anything
of secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect as freely as the
people of other countries are. Eng
land may be whipped some time in the
history Of the world, but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar, I as
sure you."-Washingt Star.

On Ian ding TrOOpa.

In landing a force on a hostile shore
q great deal more has to be provided
than the vessels to carry it. There are
people who discuss an invasion, and
who seem to have an idea that the mat
ter is limited to crowding a number Of
soldiers on a ship and directing them
to be landed at certain place. There
is no consideration Of how they are to
get on shore with their arms, guns and
ammunition; that merchant ships have
only a few boats, and that artillery
cannot be transferred from ship to
beach without any previous prepara-
ton When we consider that, notwith
standing the support and resources of a
large combined fleet and the presence
Of transports, more than a month of
hard work was required before an ar
my of 80, 600 men could be landed in
the Crimea, we are justified in doubt
ing those who assert that the invasion
of our shores with $50, 900 or 900, 900
men is not only within the bounds Of
possibility, but by no means so difficult
an undertaking as is often stated
