In England, up to 1870, no pictorial
effort had appeared that would not
have made an artist writhe in agony
of spirit When, in 1871, Frederick
Walker designed poster in black and
white, advertising Wilkie Collins new
book, ''The Woman In White" so much
attention was attracted by it that peo-
pie began for the first time to grasp
the Importance of artistic beauty and
originality as' applied to commercial
purposes. Walter Crane followed, adj
vertising the promenade concert in
Covent Garden, the French Hippodrome
and certain champagnes by series of
colored posters which amazed and de-
lighted the public.
But the real home of the art poster
is France and it's real creator Cheret.
When the rarely effective designs Of
this artist first appeared the people of
Paris snatched them from the bill
boards or wherever else they startled
the eye with their destinations until
the authorities were compelled to call
the making off with a Cheret poster a
crime.-Mahin's Magazine.

A Queer Tug of War.

In Burma the Inhabitants have a
novel form of the sport that elsewhere
is commonly called tug Of war. In the
Burmese game there is a rain party
and a drought party, which pull one
against the other, the victory of either
party being considered to have imme-
date results as regards the weather.
The drought party, however, obtains
few victories, for the kind of weather
it represents is commonly not so much
desired as rain. In the face, therefore,
of a strong public opinion the rain
party is nearly always allowed to win,
the palpable "roping" in the popular
notion being generally followed by a
fertilizing downpour.

know he so we'll deserves, and

&c MOUND FORMS
AT NIAGARA FALLS.
dynamite Required to Remove Monster
Ice Boulder Which was Formed
by the Mist.

~ - SNiNAOAA1 mat LIN ~ SellAtNA :
It Niagara to the extent that It has
o be dynamited, but this year the
ormation at Prospect Point was 50
massive that it became a source OF
LANCER, and Superintendent Perry,
e the New York state reservation
thought best to blow the huge
Mound away in order that its fall
in time of tllaw should not en-
danger lives of people on the ice
fountain, ice bridge o. in the in
clined railway building in the gorge
This formation at Prospect Point
ill never be forgotten by those
who saw it. The oldest resident at
Niagara does not recall any similar
formation i'll the past, and it was,
indeed, notable. Prospect Point is
the spot from which the majority
of people who visit Niagara get their
first view of the great cataract.
Under normal conditions both falls
are in full view from there, but
when the big mound developed it
made a marvellous change in the
condition of affairs there. The
temperature kept near zero and
the wind howled out of the south
west, carrying all the spray from
the American fall upon the point.
As fast as it fell there it froze, and
the mound grew to mightiness at
the rate of two or three inches an
hour. Higher and higher it climb
ed. until finally, when the wind
changed and the spray was waited
by the zepllyrs in another direction,
it was 80 feet high above the water
that poured by and plunged over
The American fall on the upriver
side.
1t was strange, indeed, to stand
so feet above the rushing, tumbling
water of the waterfall and see it
bend over the brink. for it was
point of view never before available
TO man. In summer time the cur
rent speeds by almost in touch of
the finger tips, and the view from
the frozen elevation spurred all to
hurry to the point and gaze at the
great white wonder that had crept
up to such a height within few
hours. The trees that stand few
feet back in the park were half bur
led beneath the slope of the mound,
and only their tops were visible.
To destroy it, dynamite was ex-
ploded in holes drilled along the up
river side, but as the ice offered only
small resistance to the explosive, the
destruction was not great, the effect
being to open a small Crevice along
the top as the ice settled after the
blast. The following day, Februry
25, blasts were set off on the gorge
side of the mound and fair sized
chunks were blown into the gorge.
The work was continued later, until
Superintendent Perry was convinced
that the remnant of the Frost Kings
work would pass away under the eff
feet of the sun or aided By the shov-
els and picks of reservation en-
ployes.- Philadelphia Record.
