Pearl Oysters Do Engraving,

People very often marvel at the
cheapness of the engraved or etched
pearl shells which come from China.
They sell for little or nothing, and
the uninitiated will be apt to wonder
how it Is the work can be done so
cheaply The reason for it is, instead
Of craving the picture into the hard
shell, an operation that would be la
borious and slow, the Chinese draw the
sketch on little scrap Of tea lead and
insert it into pearl oyster shell when
1t Is tender. The inside Of the shell in
this manner gets an impression Of the
sketch from the tea lead picture, and
as soon as it Is sufficiently well printed
the Chinese take the lead out and in
sert 1t in another shell.-Cincinnati

OF interest to all students Of Greek
is the announcement from Athens that
the Clouds" of Aristophanes, para
phrased into modern Greek by the sa-
trio poet Souris, has been produced Ia
the national theater in that city.
Souris, who has been called for 30
years the "Modren Aristophanes," is
said to have surpassed all expectations
in his metrical rendering Of the play.
His work should be especially valuable
to philologists as basis of COMPARE
Son between ancient and modern
Greek. the language as 1t is written
today being said to be closer to that Of
Xenophon and Plato than is the Eng
lish Of today to the English Of Chau-
Ger.

The death blow to the hat law and
most of the other absurd regulations
was struck of one hundred years ago,
when Levi Hedge. who was afterwards
famous professor, threatened to
knock down senior who demanded
that he remove his hat. The trouble
was brought before the president of
Harvard for adjudication and he de-
cided in favor Of Freshman Hedge.
Although these regulations we're ear

them was kept alive and frequently
manifested itself in the mistreatment

English colleges, in which 1t was the
custom to make new students do me-
NAL work for the upper classmen. Tho
hazing which has been INDUCED in has
largely been practiced upon freshmen,
but occasionally other classmen have
been hazed. To haze means to disturb,
harass annoy, and 1t was in some way
figured out that this was just what
ought to be done to men entering col
eye for the. first time. 1t was decided
that they should be servile and that
they should do whatever they were
told by upper classmen. no matter how
absurd or degrading an act should be
demanded Of them. AS early as the
year 1850, sixteen years before the
breaking out Of the revolutionary war,
the following regulations were enacted
at Yale university:
1T being the duty of seniors to teach
freshmen the laws. usages and customs
Of the college, to this end they are en-
class or any particular member Of it to
appear, in order to be instructed and
reproved, at such time and place as
they shall appoint, when and where
every freshman shall attend, answer
all proper questions and behave de-
Gently.
The freshmen are forbidden to wear
their hats in the college yard until the
May vacation, and whenever a fresh
man either speaks to superior or IL
spoken to by one he shall keep his hat
OF until he is hidden to put it back on.
"A freshman shall not play with any
Of the members of an upper class with
out being asked.
Freshmen are required to perform
all reasonable errands for any supe-
rior.
Freshmen shall not run in the col
lege yard nor up and down stairs, nor
call to any one through college win
dow"
In the Ancient Laws and Liberties"
Of Harvard similar restrictions upon
the freshmen are found. Among them
are:
mo freshman shall wear his hat in
the college yard unless it rains, halls
or SHOWS, provided he be on foot and
have not both hands full
Freshmen are to consider all other
classes as their seniors.

HIGHWAYME EN-.
A Farmer of Lincoln County is Held
Up for $500.

Some days ago two strangers came to
this city and put up at the Pine house
for lodging They claimed to repre-
sent picture enlarging firm and made
a canvass of the town in quest of pic
lures to enlarge. Their methods of
operation was reported to the police to
be anything but honorable aud an eye
was kept on them. They left the city
and worked northward and Saturday
evening the picture business was not
drawing big enough returns to suit
them so they decided to take an easier
and shorter method of fattening their
pOcketboOks.
They drove up to the farm house of
Jim Finn, living in Lincoln county,
near the Marathon county line and en-
tered his house. After short CONVEX
sation with Finn they found that he was
alone. One of the canvasSers impaired
to Finn the knowledge that they were
hard pressed for money, and that they
were desperate characters and would
as soon take a mans life for money
as they would eat, and that if the farm
er did not produce some scadS in a very
brief space of time they would make a
seive of his brain box. The thoughts of
them letting his gray matter ooze out
of his Uranium was not to his liking so
he therefore dug up" He fshed
around and finally accumulated nearly
S. which he turned over to the hold-up
gentry and without any further parlance
they drove away coming toward Wau-
sau. This happened at about Z O'Clock.
Mr. Finn informed his brother who
lives near by of what had happened and
the latter jumped on a wheel and fol-
lowed the rig to this city, stopping at
meat market on north Sixth street and
telephoning ahead to the police. In
the meantime the farmer had gone TO
Merrill and got out a blanket warrant
for John Doe and Richard Roe, and
together with Sheriff Geo. Schroeder
started for Wausau. As soon as the
ponce learned the circumstances Ma
lone, German and DeVoe went to the
Pine house and there found their men
in the stable, just unhitching their team.
They were collared without any hest
fancy and taken to Jail and kept over
Sunday. Sheriff Schroeder returned to
Merrill with them yesterday morning
where they will be tried for highway
robbery.
The men do not look like vicious
characters and are Hebrews of the pack
peddler stamp. Finn does not claim
that they made gun play nor was any
weapons found on their person. The
police thought that Jesse James gang
was heading this way from the reports
brought in previous to their capture.

PICNIC AND SALE.

l.. H. JOhnSon's lot sale which was to
take place on the Fourth was postponed
until last Saturday. A large crowd
turned out, many out of curiosity to see
what improvements are being made at
that end of town and many going as in
vestors. Cones band turned out in
full force and after playing several
pieces at the Bells House corner
marched to the new johnson addition.
There tent had been arranged also
tables under the trees and those desir-
ing refreshments were served either in
the tent or at tables, as they desired.
Thirty gallons of ice cream and Il vast
quantity OF lemonade was thus dis
pensed to the crowd As soon as the
sale commenced the buying was quite
spirited, and the sales we're much
larger than either Mr., johnson or his
manager, Mr.. Dibble, had expected.
The sale continued until late in the
evening japanese lanterns hung in the
trees and bon fires helped to make it
pleasant for those present.
Up to Monday evening there had
been disposed of in this addition total
of 55 lots, which, on account of the low
prices put upon them, only brought
So, 600 to the owner Most of the pur-
chasers are men who intend to build
homes in that section of town, while a
few were purchased for investment. 1t
is quite evident that there will be great
strife among purchasers to gain the
prize offered by Mr.. Johnson, that of
an extra lot free to the builder OF a five
or six room house completed by
Thanksgiving Day, next.
Many more purchases would have
been made at this sale had the people
more generally known of the improve
mentS that have been made in this adj
dition. Many imagine it to be plat
of ground covered with stumps and
brush, but such is not the case. The
stumps have all been removed, streets

some nearer the centre of the city that
have been travelled. Another sale will

discount the one above mentioned.

left here about five years ago for a
trip to the Pacific coast, and strayed
from there to the KlOndike, where he
fought mosquitoes and cold weather.
and dug gold... Billy has probably as
many friends on the Wisconsin river
and tributaries as anybody, all of whom
are glad to have an opportunity to
again shake him by the paw. He was a
foreman on drives aud in logging
camps for a score of years or more in
this section, and IS respected by both
the business and laboring men Of the
valley We have not interviewed him
in regard TO his future intentions, but
we are willing to bet that during his
five years absence no grass has been
growing under his feet.

innings there was fairly good game
and then came the fateful fourth
There was fusilade of base hits, and
errors too numerous to De counted and
when the inning had ended Appleton
had six runs to its credit and practically
the game. In their half of this inning
Wausau scored their first run. From
then on the Wausau players We'd with
each other in making misplays. Wau-
sau had a chance to win out in the last
inning. Four men scored and they had
the Appleton pitcher on the hummer.
There were two men out and the bases
full when a rag chewing match was
commenced by the home players that
gave the pitcher a chance to rest up.
Then came Wolf to bat who succeeded
in making little pOp-up in front of the
plate, and the farce was over. Score
10 to 8, Appleton's favor
