who are in the cast of the play ION
PlutonEn Shores, - to be given in the

their parts.
Who is in the cast is Il secret. but
there is lots of surmising being done.
The strange weird noises which issue
from the auditorium when the Funny

stirred the other pupils at the school
up to The excitement pitch. All is
conjecture, but according to the SEN

will be worth waiting for and guessing

MODERN METHODS OF
PICTURE PAINTING.
Ridiculously Low Prices Faid A
fists Who Turn Out" Material
For the Dealers.

"Therc are between 400 and 500
artists in Chicago alone and many
more in other big cities who do piece
work for the big houses" said David
G. Kensington, of Chicago, at the st.
Charles Hotel. "A few months ago the
ing a plan to cut down the pay five
cents an hour and steps were at once
taken to organize the artists into n
union. The movement promised TO be
so successful that the dealers gave
up the idea, and the old scale of wages
was maintained. The painters work
in water cOlOrs, oils and crayon and
pastel and paint anything they are
told to. They work at their homes for
the most part and get orders every
few days for, say, 100 landscapes at
So each, or 500 water scenes at $40
each, or 200 animals pictures at $40
each. They give Just as much time and
attention to their work as they are
paid for. OF course they do not put
their names TO their pictures, but
sometimes the firm requires that the
firm name be affixed on some of the
better grades. The dealers ship the
pictures all over the country to the
smaller art stores, and the pictures
for which the painters get So or s.
apiece are sold for 500 or 500 TO the
connoisseurs of art who delight in their
private collections. Such scheme as
that of course takes all the artistic
temperament out of Il painter, but they
do it to keep the wolf from the door
and make living in the way in which
they think an Almighty Providence en-
dowcd them. Every one of these men
and women hope at some time to be
noted artists, but the chances are
hundred TO one against them. Most of
them will be shaving away at it all
their lives, giving what talent and am
bition and love of art they have TO the
traflickers for mere pittance. And
the joke of it all is that the buyers of
oil paintings and water colors and
other works of art believe that they
are getting the finest kind of work.
Not one in thousand who buy pictures
can estimate their value. ."-Milwauke

LESSONS IRON A ROAT.

4 boy who early learns TO handle a

his class in the city high school, writes
Mr.. Thomas Dixon, Jr., in THE Life
Worth Living" and gives his reasons
as follows:
A boat teaches him the first lessons
of life, law and obedience, in vital
ways. A boat says to him: Keep in
harmony with the law and I am your
swift and willing servant. But if you

Divorce in surmah.

There is something to be said for
Burmah. If the Burmese husband and
the Burmese wife come to the con-
clusion that they have injudiciously
increased the marriage rate their pro
cedure is simple and direct. The wife
does not go to her solicitor. but to the
tallow chandler. From him she OBJ
tains two little candles. These she
brings home, and she and husband
sit down on the floor, placing the
candles between them. One candle
represents the husband one the wife.
They are lighted at the same moment
and the owner Of the one which goes
out first leaves the house, taking only
his CT clothes, while the owner of the
more enduring candle remains, also
the owner of the house and all that
:herein is. Thus divorce becomes
simple and charming. 1t will be OBJ
served that the wife always selects
the candles.-Chicago Law Journal.

of able body and good record whose
names will be placed on the rolls of
the War Department as ready to re-
spond to a call and who will receive
pay at the rate of SO a month. This,
1t is calculated, will make a body of
10000 trained, disciplined men who
could Immediately raise the war,

There will be in addition a Nation.

call and who will in the meanwhile
be undergoing drill and discipline in
some form of organization, probably
mostly in the National Guards. These
Will receive n small sum yearly of,
say, 50. With other National Guards
and militia kept in readiness the to-
tai available strength of the army for
any emergency will be 250,000 men
This will give fighting strength of

Tribute to the Standard.

Even the Italian religious festivals
now pay dividends to the Standard
Oil company. At these festivals thou
sands of pounds of candles are burn
ed annually to the different saints.
These candles were formerly made by
Italians and they were really works
of art. OF late years, however, the
Standard Oil company has supplied
large part of them.
They are made Of yellow wax, but
instead of being cast in mould as
are ordinary candles, they are made
by flattening the wax into thin lay
ers and rolling the layers into candle
form. This gives them greater
strength than the nodded candles.
And as some candles weigh as much
as 100 pounds and are five or six feet
tall, they need extra strength to with
stand the melting of the hot July and
August weather in which most of the
festivals occur.
The plain yellow candles are bought
by the Italian dealers who do the
hand painting and decorating that
make these candles so pretty to look
at.-New York Sun.
