ASTOR CAN'T ESCAPE.

American Citizen.

New York. May 16.-The commission
ers Of taxes and assessments have fled
their return to the writ of certiorari
obtained by William Waldorf Astor for
review of the assessment made by the
commissioners on his personal property
for the year 1899. The assessment was
fixed at 81, 100000 and Mr. Astor appeal
ed against it on the ground that he was
nonresident. He has since became
British subject
The commissioners say that prior to
1899 Mr.. Aston regularly paid his as
sessments and that although he de-
clared that he had changed his resi-
dence at the time the 1899 assessment
was made. they were unaware whether
such change was temporary or perma-
nent. He was then an American citi-
zen and they say they see no reason to
review the assessment

Use of Waste Slate,

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate, just as it is dug from
the EARTH but pencils so made We're OBJ
jectcd to on account of the grit which
they contain and which would scratch
the slate. To overcome this difficulty an
ingenious process has been devised by
which the slate is ground to very fine
powder. all grit and foreign substances
removed, and the powder bolted through
silk cloth in much the same manner in
which flour is bolted. The powder is
then made into n dough, and this dough
is subjected to very heavy hydraulic
pressure. which presses the pencil out the
required shape and diameter, but in
length of about three feet. While yet
soft the pencils are cut into the desired
lengths and set out to dry in the open
air. After they are thoroughly dry the
pencils are placed i'll steam baking kilns,
where they receive the proper temper.
Pencils made in this manner are not only
free from all grit and of uniform hard
ness, but are stronger than those cut out
of solid slate. For these reasons they
have superseded the old kind.-Cement

CUTS AND BRUISES.
How to Dress Ordinary Wounds.
Dirt In the Eye.

Clean cut wounds. whether deep or
easily heal, should be washed with an
antiseptic lotion. and then evenly and
smoothly closed by bringing both edges
together and securing them in that
position by adhesive plaster. Cut the
adhesive plaster into thin strips and
fastcn on one side of the cut; then,
ringing the parts of the wound to-
gether, edge to edge, faSten the loose
end. Ordinary cuts are easily dressed
in this way. but if the cut be large and
the edges difficult to hold together
some assistance from a second person
may be necessary.
For bruises or "black and blue spots"
put on hot water cloths, or, if there is
much pain. hot poultice, renewing
the same every two hours.
Dirt in the eye generally adheres to
the upper or lower lid. AS the lower
lid Is the more easily examined it is
well to see If the dirt Is adherlng to
this part. This Is done by standing In
front of the person. and pressing the
finger upon the flesh on the cheek bone
and drawing down the skin. Then if
the dirt is in the sight, 1t can be re-
moved by the moist corner of hand
kerchicf. If the dirt Is not on the
lower lid, place match or a knitting
needle over the upper lid and by press
ing downward. and at the same time
raising the upper lid, 1t will be turned
inside out. This will expose to view
the offending particle, which may be
removed as before. The eye should
then be bathed in cold water and the
light excluded. If the Inflammation is
severe, put on cold tea leaves or
scraped potato, or battle in salt and
water.
Painting Is caused by lack of blood
to the brain. which has been caused by
the stoppage of the heart or the blood
going to some other part of the body.
Place the person who has tainted on
the back. with head low; loosen the
clothing about the neck and chest;
sprinkle cold water in the face and APP
ply smelling salts to the nostrils. DO
not raise the head higher than the body
unless the face is red or dark colored,
which is an indication that 1t Is not
an ordinary fainting fit and should be
treated differently. In cases of this
kind raise the person on n seat and
put cold water on the head immedi-

Spokane and Seattle papers have con-
tanned wild and woody accounts of the
gun play on Sunday last of desperate
Indian chieftain, who is known as Wen
atchee jim. The correspondents tell of
how he was accustomed to amuse him
self by shooting at women and children
to see them dance, and to ride fran
tically through the streets of Yakima fir
ing off his revolvers. About all the truth
there is in this story is that Jim got lit
tie more fre-water under his skin than
was good for his health. The police run
him in and when searched he had gun
on his person but no cartridges or even
empty. shells, and the chambers indicated
that they hadn't been nsed for long
period of time. The officers wanted to
make state case against him for carry
ing concealed weapons but finally con-
cluded to substitute the charge OF drum k

TO the present generation Of playgoers,
but ii Ireland's chronicles we may
read or many representations Of King
Henry "" The career or such fas-
cinating rake as Falstaff's boon COM
panfon, Prince Hal, after he attained
the dignity and responsibility of king
hood makes an interesting study.
There is scarcely in all Shakespearean
drama such another opportunity for
splendid pictures and pictorial pag-
eantry as in King Henry "" Mans
field has this in mind and has wicely
begun early the planning Of his produc-
ton. He has made his cwn version CT
the play, for never yet has the King
Henry v" OF the library been the
king Henry w of the stage. Mans
field has also comprised the formida-

els were passed or and accepted before
the conclusion of the winter season In
New York. During the stay in Wash
inston the models of nine other set
tings were brought him, and practi-
cally all of them were accepted.
1t is to Mansfield mainly that our

little reason to doubt the assertion OF
his confldants that his production OF
king Henry w." viii be the finest
