TRADE SECRETS GUARDED.
Chinese and Syrian Workmen Must
Make Oath Not to Reveal
Them

'"There are two trade secrets" said an
artist, according to the Chicago Chron-
icle, that the outside world, it seems,
will never learn. One is a Chinese Sc
cret-the making of the bright and
beautiful color called vermilion, or
Chinese red. The other is Turkish
secret-the inlaying of the hardest steel
with gold and silver.
Among the Chinese and among the
Syrians these two secrets are guarded
well. Apprentices, before they are
taken for either trade, must swear: a
strSng oath to reveal nothing of what
passes in the Workshop. These appren-
tees. furthermore, must belong to fam
lilies of standing, must pay large sum
by way of premium and must. furnish
certificates Of good character and hon

JAPANESE AS PAINTERS.
Framework of Their Designs Reflect
the Fundamental Principles
of True Art.

The Japanese, with their natural.
view of life, have ever
sought in their art to mirror what 4
great painter and critic has termed
mems primordial predictions. Art,
however, writes w. M. Cabot, in At
lantic, that seeks to t9kb0ay pleasures
founded on the unchanging properties
of human nature must have past as
we'll as future, must be able to look
backwards as we'll as forwards. Not
one LIES labor, but that of many gen.
erations is required. No people have
better understood this than the
Japanese. They have also clearly per-
ceived that no art that is not true to
the changeless element In man can en-
dure: while on the other hand any SUBJ
ject, however trivial can be made
eternally attractive, If only treated in
accordance with aesthetic law.
Japanese painting delights us by its
delicate fancy, It's poetry, it's freedom,
its spirit; but what gives these quail
ties special and enduring charm, what
makes the play of fancy never weari-
some, the liberty never mere license.
is that they find expression in and
through framework of design so fine
ly conceived that In it we see reflect
ed as in a mirror the fundamental
principles which govern all true art

GENEROUS WITH PENSIONS
One Was Paid in Russia Two Genera
tons After It Should Have
Stopped.

A curious fact in regard to Russia
came lately to my knowledge, says q
writer in Vanity Fair. An old Russian
baron died whom I had known for
years, and with him died his pension,
so that his widow was left with a
very small provision for her old age.
She was by birth German, and had
no relations who had influence in Rus
STA.
On making inquiries it was discov-
cred that the greater part of the bar
ms pension had not really belonged
to him, but had been inherited from
his aunt, who, in her turn, had in
herited it from her father. The orig
inal pOssessor of this pension had
earned it by doing excellent service for
The empire, and the pension ought to
have died with him, but interest was
used, and the sum was duly paid out
to his daughter.
When she died it was discovered
that her nephew was in very unfortu-
nate circumstances, and though he

MY OLD CLOTHES.

All rags and paint and dirt:
What luxury it was to wear
A suit I couldn't hurt!
Secure within this wreck Of clotl
I groveled on the ground;
In garnet, stable, garden, yard.
Primeval. bliss found,
It waxed familiar with the woods.
Tho thickets, marshes, brooks.
It carried rents and burrs and mud
From all the forest hooks,
got down close to Mother Earth.
My spirit seemed to root
And spread Its filaments and grow
Within that moidy suit
But all, my wife In vandal mood
One hapless cleaning day.
In valiant fit Of tidiness,
Gave my old suit away!
And now I weed the garden walks
At length Of formal hoe,
And keep within the proper paths
When to the woods I go.
I've lost the sense of sweet, warm dirt.
The kinship with the ground;
I must be careful of my clothes
Whene'er tinker round.
I do not own a single suit
But claims my constant caro-.
Nor shred Of blessed cloth that1

Before my Oldest suit is fit
For either work or fun,
A solemn year-at least a year
Must circumspectly run.

And purity Of mind;
But, oh, with heavenly perfectness,
Your graces will be grit
II you will let happy man
Just wallow In the dirt!

terrific report. The corridors were i'm

explosion expecting to see part of
the massive wall blown into the light

The explosion occurred in the office
of City Chemist A. D. Meads, who was
engaged in testing the liquid to see if ii
was the real thing. Only one drop was
exploded, and the report was loud
enough to be heard in every corner Of
the large building. Several bottles in

shelves and some Of them were broken
The result Of the experiment is that
Mr.. Meads will be able to testify that
the suspects carried enough nitro

Winnipeg, Man., June 28.-The usual

a series Of loud explosions was heard in
the gallery and intense excitement
reigned in the pit. Flames leaped fierce

a hideous pandemonium prevailed.
There was wild rush for the exits,
women screamed and tainted, and sew

upon. Men in uncomfortable fear
jumped over the seats and little chill
dren called out in terror. The specta-
tors dashed thru the orchestra, smashed
the instruments and jumped upon and

It appears that the kaleidoscope films
caught fire and the whole machine blew
up with series Of terrifying explo-
sions. The fire was soon suppressed,
however, and only a few persons were
injured. It is remarkable that more
were not injured. The incident caused
sensation thruout the city and a big
crowd gathered in the vicinity Of the
