Thumb Nail Pictures.

In collections, centuries old, to be
seen in both China and Japan are
specimens Of the most remarkable
drawings in the world, pictures Of all
kinds drawn with the thumb nail. The
nails Of the thumbs on the left hands
Of the artists of these are allowed to
grow to an enormous length, some
times to q foot or eighteen inches, and
are then pared down to a pen shaped
point. Dipping this oddly constructed
pen in beautiful vermilion or sky blue
ink, the only kinds Of ink used in these
sacred thumb nail drawings, the artist
gracefully outlines his work.
Occasionally the bold touches from
the studio OF a master in this depart
ment of "high art" are life size and
are sketched by a few sweeps Of the
artists arm. Like other pictures and
sketches Of the orient, these sacred
thumb nail pictures are mounted and
rolled up like scrolls.

ALL ABOUT Il
TEXAS OIL.
Worth More Since Burt Refinery
Started
Production Diminishing on Spindle Top
but Sour Lake Field is Promising.

Some Sistersville people are
interested In the Beaumont oil
fields. and a few facts concerning
the wonderful development In
Texas will be of interest to oil men
all ever the country. The produc-
ton In the Spindle Top region has
diminished considerably during the
last few months, until now 1t Is hut
1900 barrels daily. When the
excitement began there the daily
production was over $1,000 bar
rels. The price of the fluid which
was, until a short time ago but six
cents per barrel. has decreased
wonderfully since the Burt refinery
began operations few weeks ago.
1t Is found that IS per
cent of the refined grade can be
got by the Burt process, which is
much greater part than was sup
posed to have been contained In the
crude fluid. The price of Texas
oil Is now IS cents per barrel.
Not few men are employed In
the fields In Texas suffer from an
affection of the eyes which results
from the gas that Is found In all the
wells, and for that reason a great
many of them remain there but a
short time.
The wells In the lower Pike re-
gion are not such big producers as
those In the Spindle Top but they
are more numerous and better
grade of oil Is found there.

Some Words.

According to the late Richard A
Proctor, says the London Chronicle
the phrase Il guess" to English ears
SO ridiculous, is really identical will
the old expression, Il wis" meaning
Il know" The word guess" has
changed its meaning entirely in Eng
land, but has partly preserved it in
America, where of course the native
says Il guess" when he is more or less
in a state of certainty. There are many
other examples of words that have
played fast and loose with "g" and
'w." such as guardian" and ward

FLAGS ON THE CAPITOL.
What 1t Means when They Are Fly
ing at Half Mast.

What 1t Means when They Are Fly
ing at Half Mast.
The flying Of flags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast 1t is
sure indication that a vice president,
senator or representative is lying dead
or that the action is taken IN response
to presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memcry or some
prominent Official Of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms or the
senate or house OF representatives
learns of the death OF member OF
either Of those bodies. he at once
orders that the flags OvI. the senate
chamber or hall of representatives be
half maSted. This is often done before
the houses of congress themselves are
officially notified Of the death. A good
deal of discretion is exercised In the
manner of placing the news Of death
of this kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment it is customary for the houses to
adjourn in respect to the deceased SEN
atcr or representative, and In order
that the current business may not be
stopped early in the day the announce
ment is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
Officers Of the senate and house
when they fly tie flags at half mast in
response to Il reclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one of
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power Of the president to order con-
gress to 90 anything except to assem-
BILE in extraordinary session. They
have always responded tG the requests
of such EraclamutiUnS. 1t would be
nice question. if one could imagine that
it could ever Up ri Sed. to Know 10
what extent the presidents authority
would allow hin To Greer fGGS 1t half
mast on the capitol. Will" his author
ity would not extend over tie en-
ployees of the senate and house, yet
the capitol itself for many years was
in fact controlled exclusively by him
so far as the care of the building Is
concerned, and the superintendent OF
the building is today appointed by him
without confrmatory action on the
part of the senate.
AS matter Of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct control
of the committees on appropriations Of
the two houses Of congress, but that
control has been accorded them by the
failure of the president to give any or
ders to the architect or more lately to
the superintendent Of the capitol. II
he should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed, he would
have power to dismiss him and appoint
some one else in his place without the
concurrence Of either branch Of con-
gress, except so far as the appropria-
ton for the officials salary would be
involved. These are practically moot
questions. but they occasionally form
interesting subjects for Preside talks
when flags are half maSted in response
to presidential proclamations.-Wash-
ington Star.
