The British-Boer Conflict.

Mr., Henry Y. Arnett, M. S., read a
paper upon the "British-BOer Conflict, P"

character of the Beers; reviewed their
many conflicts; exposed the tallacy of
the alleged cause and pointed out the
real bone of contention of the present;
war; cited British and American au'
thoriGes and concluded that England's
greed for gold caused all the trouble.
he closed by saying; "The conduct OF
the Beers in clinging to their kinsmen,

This was accepted, but the people are

DR.. Rickets should not have accepted
any compromise. The civil rights bill

A NEW CATARRH CURE SECURES NATIONAL

Throughout a great nation of eighty millions it
is a desperate struggle to secure a recogni-
ton for new article, to say nothing Of achieving
popular favor. and yet within year Stuart Q
Catarrh Tablets, the catarrh cure, has met
with such success that today 1t can be found In
every drug store throughout the United States and
Canada.
To be sure large amount of advertising was
necessary in the first instance bring the remedy
to the attention Of the public. but every IA
miliar with the subject knows that advertising
alone never made any article permanently success
full 1t must have in addition absolute. undeniabIe
merit. and this the new catarrh certainly
possesses in Il marked degree.
Physicians, who formerly depended upon inhalers
sprays and local washes or ointments now use
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because, Of the
NEST prominent stated, these tablets contain in
pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient
catarrh remedies. such red gum, Guaacol Eu-

They contain cocaine nor opiate, and are given

be told In 1870 English words, could be mar
rated In eighty-fve Chinese written char
acters. To tell the story in spoken Chinese
would require 163 words
Written Chinese is practically uniform
throughout the empire, and has hardly al
tered during the entire course Of Chinese
history The spoken language, on the other
! hand, Is constantly changing, and pre-
walls in several dialects, some of which
are quite unntellgible to Chinese from
the different provinces.
But even the purest form of spoken Chi
fese Is almost fncomprehensible to a for
elgner, except by the most arduous study,
and after years of applicat ton the European
continues to make the most ludicrous blum
ders The reason for this is that the Chi
nese tongue has but 500 to 1000 elemen-
tary words. which form the base Of their
language-as the alphabet does of ours In
order to spin these out to their needs. they
pronounce them in different tones" each
tone" giving entirely altered meaning
In some parts of the empire many as
eight tones are in use. giving eight sig
| mica lions to words whose actual pronun-
citation Is otherwise the same. No wonder
the European jibs at the task!-the
| ninth meaning of Greek particle is moth
ing to the eighth tone" of Chinese noun.
Chinese has grammar as we know
grammar. According to its position in a
sentence a word is either noun, adjective,
verb or adverd-the word itself remains
the same In this respect Chinese is
baby among languages. But like so
many other things that the celestial has in
vented and left as he invented, the Chinese
tongue has never grown up. And yet, with
| all its drawbacks, the literary men of the
fowery land have contrived to make it
serve their purpose. But almost all the
classical. philosophical and historical works
OF the Chinese are written in the queer
characters that only mean something to
| the eye and cannot be made to mean any,
thing to the ear.
Where the Chinese language-written or
spoken-came from nobody knows any
more than they know where the original
Chinese themselves came from But it is
probable that the primary Chinese charac-
tiers existed 5000 years ago pretty much as
| they do today. They are written in vertf-
| cal columns which begin on the right of
| the paper. The instrument is a brush and
a thick solution of india ink is the medium

that stretches to our own A B G. The Tar

PORTRAIT CAMEO CUTTING.
Only One Exponent of the Art in This
Country.

FUN the IhicagO IlmeS-IleraId.
Chicago claims the only portrait cameo
cutter in the United States. There may be
other cameo cutters, but portrait cameo
cutting is as far beyond ordinary cameo
cutting as is portrait painting beyond pho
Biography. 1t is art in itself
The only portrait cameo cutter is A
Hylen, a native of Sweden where he learn
ed the art of engraving on metal which is
the basic art of cameo cutting He learned
cameo cutting in Vienna. Like other fine
arts, cameo cutting requires infinite pa
thence, besides artistic sense and it was
not until Mr.. Hylen had worked for some
thing like forty years that he considered
hlmsef competent portrait cameo cutter.
Cameo cutting is one of the oldest fine
arts. 1t probably originated in India but
was carried thence to Egypt, where it -four
1shed before the time Of Moses. 1t was
carried from Egypt to Persia In those
early days 1t is believed that the art of cut
ing precious stones was a part of the lit
erature of the times rather than means of
EXPRESS & the artists sense Of the beauti-
full, anG it was not until the art was taken
up by the Greeks that it attained that per-
lection which has since distinguished it,
With the decline of the Roman empire 1t
became a lost art, but was revived in the
Renaissance and became more prominent
than ever.
Up to that time the art had been one of
engraving on precious stones but the art
lists of the later period not only discovered
that 1t was possible to cut pictures and
portraits in shell. but they carried it to
such perfection that shells are now uniyer-
sally employed for the finest work
The shells used are the large conch shells
found in the Bahama Islands. Only one or
two pieces of shell suitable for canoes can
be cut from one conch. The pieces are
ground to an oval surface and then are ex-
amined for flaws and bad coloring If the
least flaw is discovered or a color which
would destroy the value of the cameo the
piece Is rejected. If the surface shows pure
white, the cameo cutter sketches an outline
OF his portrait or figure on the surface and
then examines the thickness of the white
part. He removes the superhuous parts of
the white surface outside of his outline and
then gradually works out his design TAX
ing care to work uniformly so he can COM
pare his figure with the photograph from
which he works. The work is so trying on
the eyes that the most powerful magnify
ing glasses must be used, and even then
the cutter can work only ten or fifteen
minutes at time. After those short inter-
walls of application he has to rest his ewes
for an hour before taking I'D the work
again Considering the slowness of the
process and the long time required for the
artist to become competent for his work

A Jamaican Experience.

For some years after my marriage l lived
at Old Harbor, small place about twenty
miles from Kingston. One day, when a
visit to my Kingston dressmaker was a
necessity, l ordered a young negro boy to
get upon the rumble and drive me to the
town.
L paid my visit to the dressmaker, and,
receiving my frock. a light summer thing
from her, placed it in the box beneath the
buggy seat and drove on to my sisters.
where l went in to escape the heated part
of the day. giving my boy sixpence and

o'clock

guage no alphabet, but it is actually true
that in it's purest form, though it could,
literally speaking, be read aloud the sounds
would have absolutely no significance what
