 "CaIr, Sits on the Game.
 Without regarding the feelings of devotees Of golf. Justice Potts of Jer- sey City has brought the aristocratic game which cannot be played without cleeks, mashies, lofters, and drivers down 10 the level Of 'shinney.@ a game that only requires a crooked stick, any old thing that will serve as 3 ball, tough shins. and an opponent whom the player does not like. Mrs. Pauline SehaFn lives near the links Of the Jer- sey City Golf club, and has filed objee- tions to having her children swatted on the head by golf balls driven in an ec- centric manner by beginners at the game Despite the heat, Mrs. Seharff also objects 10 having the windows Of her home suddenly fall to pieces in a most disquieting way. IL was to stop these annoyanees that Mrs. Seharff caused Albert |. Drayton, president of the club to explain to Justice Potts not only how Il happened. but also how he would stop il in the future. The elite of Jersey City crowded the courtroom yesterday, and listened to MT. DTayton explain that the organi- zation; through late recruits, had made some of the most wonderful strokes on record. He added that In few days new course would be arranged. and the beginners quarantined nine miles from any sign of civilization. Mrs. Seharf was willing to compromise, and even went so far as to express her admira- ton of the game when played in an other state, and everything was set tied. "But the game is 'shinney,' just the same" was the decision given by Justice Potts, and which caused the elite to loft their nosessand foozle their glanees as they left the putting green bound for the next tee.

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER.
1t Took Time to Introduce It and Bring

It to Its Present Perfection.
 From the Paper Trade: While va rious kinds of printed fabrics were known to the people Of most remote antiquity it was not till the eighteenth century that wallpaper anywhere near it's present form came into common use in Europe, though it appears to have been used much earlier in China. 4 few rare examples which may be as early as the sixteenth century exist in England, but these are limitations, gen. erally in flock, Of the old Florentine and Genoese cut yeIyets, and hence the style Of the design in 10 way shows the date of the wallpaper, the same traditional patterns being reproduced with little Or no change for many years. It was not till the end Of the last century that the machinery to make paper in long strips was invent ed. Up to that time wallpapers were printed On small square pieces Of hand made paper and were very expensive. On this account wallpaper was slow in superseding the older mural deeora- tions, such as tapestry, stamped leather and paper cloth. A work printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wallpapers of that time: The method Of printing wall papers of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been. Wooden blocks. with the design cut in relief. one for each color. are applied by hand after being dipped in an elastic cloth sieve charged with wet tempera pigment, great care being taken to lay each block exactly on the right place, so that the various co1ors may register or get together. In or Ger to suit the productions Of the pa per mills these blocks are made in England twenty-one inches wide, and in France eighteen inches wide. The length of the block is limited to what the workman can easily lift with one hand-two feet being about the limit, as the blocks are necessarily thick and in many eases made heavier by being iniaid with copper, especially the thin outlines, which. if made of wood, would not stand the wear and tear of printing Tn flock and gold or silver printing the design is first printed in strong size, the flock 1fnely =eut wool of the required coloTl or metallic pow der is then sprinkled by hand over the paper it adheres only to the wet size, and is easily shaken off the ground or unsized part. If the pattern is re- quired to stand out in some relief the process is repeated seYeres times and the whole paper then rolled to com press the flock. Cheaper sorts Of paper are printed by machinery. the design being cut on the surface of wooden rollers under which the paper passes. The chief drawback to this process is that al the colors are applied rapidly, one after the other. without allowing each to dry separately. as is done in hand printing. i somewhat blurred appearance is usually the result

Prttey Girl is Rudely Awakened as She
 Is About to Take a Plunge.
 4 handsome young lady from Pitts burg, who is stopping at a hotel on Virginia avenue. Atlantic City. had al experience early the other morning that she is not anxious to repeat. While in somnambulistie state. @are- footed and clad only in her nightrobe, she wandered down to the Leach and would probably have walked into tho ocean had she not been stopped by Special Policeman Marmaduke Albert son. There were very few witnesses of the feat, and=sh is so thankful for it's happy termination that she has promised Afbertson q substantial re- ward. The young lady.s name fs Miss Belle English. Officer Albentsen de- scfibes her as being rather tall, deeid edly pretty with dark hair and lgs treus dark eyes. The affair occurred just before } o'clock in the morning. Mike Gampi. who keeps q fruit stand at the merry -go-r0und. was standing outside Of his place of business whea he WAS startled by the appearance of what he at first thought was a speeter gliding swiftly over the strand toward the ocean. He called Policeman AL bertson, who started in pursuit of the whitezrobed figure. When AlbertsoR came close 70 the figure he spoke. but received no reply. He then reached out his hand determined to know Nae worst, but instead of clasping empty air, as he feared he might he found his captive 10 be living. moving flesh and blood. A few vigorous shakes awakened the young lady. who gave q sharp cry of surprise when she found herself in the grasp of a strange maR. Then she realized what had happenea and became almost hssterical in her modification. She was reassured however, when she found that her cap tor was an officer. Atbertson called a carriage and placed the trembling girl in il, taking the precaution se throw blanket around her to protest her from the chilly night air. At her request he accompanied her to the hotel at which she was stopping. TAe guests had all retired, and with quick good night to the policeman the young lady disappeared, entering the house through an open window The appearance of the house indicated that the girl had escaped through the same window after everybody in the honse had retired for the night.
