GOSSIP IN THE STUDIOS.

The arts and crafts committee of the Massachusetts Federation of Wom- , en's Clubs has planned to open com petition for an artistic signboard. Pratt institute, of Brooklyn, has ap- piled to enter the competition, and it is thought probable that other art schools will be included.
 A statue to Gen. Dumas has just been finished and will be erected in the Place Malesherbes, in Paris. The sculptor is Alphonse Moncel and he has been inspired by one of the stirring episodes of war in the Tyrol, where the negro general became the terror of the Austrian cavalry. It is said that the s.diable noir" defended . bridge single handed against a squadron of the en- emy, and this scene has been depict ed by the sculptor in bas-relief on the pedestal.
 An art journal suggests raw pota- toes to clean oil paintings. Have few potatoes at hand, each cut in halves; the fresh surface is dampened slight ly with cold water and used to rub the canvas; $ the potatoes show soil the surface is sliced off and the rubbing continued. This process will create a little lather, which should be wiped off as fast as it accumulates, with a clean, damp sponge. When the whole canvas is cleaned it should be washed over slightly with clean water, of which the chill is taken off, and, finally, the water lightly and carefully wiped off with an old clean silk handkerchief.

THE WORLD OVER.

In 1899 the inheritance tax in France produced the amount of 198,900,00C francs ($3s, 3s7,7oo).
 The fayorite instrument in Spain is the mandora, of the guitar family. It is usually provided with six pairs of wire strings.
 Tasmania's government does not permit any land to be sold by private contract within five miles of Hobart or Launceston.
 Iii the practice of London West End jewellers to loan magnificent tiaras and other articles of jewelry for special oc- casions. These things are loaned as a courtesy to specially good customers, while other people less we'll known must make deposit of the value of the jewels before taking them.
 Posters and advertising signboards in Belgium are subject to a state stamp tax, which varies according to the size of the poster or signboard, the mini mum tax being one cent, says Brus- sells correspondent. The minimum tax is aplied to posters and signboards the size of which is not above 20% inches in length by 131a inches in width; for every two inches square additional a tax of one-fifth of cent is levied. The sum total of state taxes on posters and signboards amounted in 1899 to $70,. 231.

If in these two lands everything were to be moulded by the form of the state alone, the final outcome would be the greatest possible difference in the national life of the two-one thor oughly democratic, the other thorough ly aristocratic, writes Prof Hugo Nun sterberg in the International Monthly for October. But the other possibility is open, that each land supplements those tendencies which are a necessary consequence of it's external form of public life by compensatory functions which reinforce the other side; if dem- ocracy counterbalances the evils of the crowd by social efforts of the aristo- cratic type, and if monarchy oyercomes it's intrinsic one-sidedness by demo- cratic reforms and impulses, the differ ences will be unessential, and both countries will show profound har- mony of national instincts. Exactly that seems at present, from day to day, more the situation of the United States and Germany. They become more and more alIhe, aIlQ IuG ldcU tllaI one Is DE birth, and desires to remain. mon- archy, while the other desires to re- main a republic. appears secondary ana unessentiaI. How is that possible? 4 hundred years ago the question of political government moved the world and determined the greatest differ ences. How has it become so unessen- tial that no one to-day seriously con siders the problem whether democracy or monarchy is the "better' form of state? And if the progress of history has abolished that problem. how does it happen that the new life in the two lands moves fnopposite directions, that on monarchiaI ground towards greater equality, that on democratic ground to- wards greater aristocracy, and both thus towards the same type of social existence, in spite of the important in- dividual characteristics and differ ences?

GRAIN MOVED IN STREAMS.
Thrilling Night Scene at the Big Lake Elevator When Ships
 Are Unloading.

Nowhere in North America will you come on a more thrilling night scene than the freshwater cargo tank un- loading at Buffalo, says Rollin Lynde Hartt, in Atlantic. Here she lies, be- meath the towering grain elevator, which thrusts long pumping pipe (called the ''1eg'') down through her hatchway. Mount the gangplank, lodging the spinning ropes that make your head reel; stumble about on the dark deck; look down, down, down, through the open hatch, and zounds, what a sight! The hold glows with electricity. It is misty with blown dust. It roars with me- chanica1 activity.
 An enormous steel shovel" big as the inside of house, and manipulat- ed by countless flying ropes, charges back and forth through the whole length of the ship, pitching the vel low grain before it, and heaping 1t up where the leg can get hold of 1t to whisk it into the bin that is some where up in the sky! Beneath, in the hold, an army of blue-clad men, with wooden scoops" barely dodge the deadly shovel as they swing the grain into it's path.

Sir Thomas Lipton can't get satis- faction out of the New York Yacht club next year unless he builds an other new yacht. This seems rather unfair on the face of it although it is in accordance with the rules, which says that boat once defeated must wait two years before challenging the victor again. Sir Thomas is worthy of another trial with his Shamrock IT,. and might perhaps make a better showing. He certainly could if he would only remove the Jonahs from the Shamrock, for it is pretty general ly admitted that he had at least one aboard the Shamrock, although he himself is saying nothing but kind worlds for the men who handled his yacht.

waterme1ons Are Fruit.

Some men have never been willing to class the luscious "watermillion as vegetable and on this point the United States government has been forced to come to the darky's point of view. The decision has been made by the general board of appraisers on case arising at Nogales upon the right to in port melons as veg etables. The board decided that 'sthe melon is known technically, popular ly and commercially as a fruit and therefore dutiable. The same view is taken technically by the depart ment of agriculture and we may now rest assured that the status of the watermelon, muskmelon, canteloupe and their whole kindred has been raised a few points officially and per- manently. Indio may now claim to be one of the most promising fruit sections of the state without a tree in sight.--Chicago Chronicle.

7 izen, it is the damnab1e murder of Mckinley, the president, that melts 75,000,000 hearts into one and brings a hush to the farm, the factory and the forum.
 "One of the many striking and touching incidents occurring at Buff falo was the meeting between the president and Mrs. Mckinley for the first time after the assault. The dis patches report that Mrs. Mckinley took a seat at the bedside and held the presidents hand. The distin- guished sufferer looked into the face of his good wife and said in low tone: We must bear up; it will be better for us both.' With tears streaming down her cheeks Mrs. Me- Kinley nodded assent.
 ''There is depth of pathos in this little incident that must appeal force fully to those who appreciate the strength of the ties that bind a good husband to a good wife.
 ''There may be some people who have no idea of the thoughts that were passing through the minds of this couple at that moment, There are, however, many others who can imagine what these thoughts were. There, on the bed of pain, lay the strong, powerful man. By his side sat the frail woman, whose physical weakness has been for so many years the subject of this husbands tender solicitude. In an humble way they began life together. Two little graves A.oI R+~,. prosperity and in diversity they had stood together participating equally in the joys and sharing equally in the sorrows of life. The wife had shared in the great honors that had come to her husband, and now, when the very summit of political ambition had been reached and political honors had be- come so common that the conven- fences of quiet, domestic life were longed for by the woman, in order, as she often expressed it, that she might have her husband to herself, the bullet of an assassin had done the work that threatened to blast the highest ambition of this woman's life.
 "'We must bear up,' said the presi- dent; it will be better for us both.' It matters not to what extent other men and women may have grieved; it matters not how many tears other men and women may have shed and how much other hearts may have ached. All of this grief and woe could not have been so acute as was the grief and woe which this man and woman suppressed in compliance with the suggestion: It will be better for us both.'"

Indian Time Reckoning.

The Indian method of reckoning time by the sun is worth remembering against time of need, when watches play false, but an engagement must be kept. The width of the palm of the right hand, with the thumb held close inside the index finger, represents the space covered by the sun in an hour. If, for instance, you would know just how many hours it would be before sunset, extend yourr fight hand against the sky until it reaches the sun. Meas uring by hand-widths from the sun to the edge of the western horizon gives the number of hours to sunset. So also in the morning, Measuring from the sun to the zenith, it is easy to calculate the number of hours remaining before noon
