drawn In the illustrations materially
help the figures.
It will be noted that all these curves
that give roundness to the figure are
built upon the squares as first given.
This makes the construction COMPARE
lively easy, as the big proportions are
given in the first two parallelograms.
Strict adherence to the block forms IS
not necessary. Freedom from constraint
in this direction is only governed by the
child's ability to approach the perfect
ly.drawn figure.
AS the block figure is only symbol
and not a drawing of man, there is no
need of the child's being drilled in it's
production beyond familiarizing it with
it's general proportions and giving some
practice in it's possibilities of action.
Such subjects as a woman walking with
a little boy, a seated man, man carry
ing stick or gun, woman with basket
on her head, will serve the purpose.
These practice subjects should be done
without the complication of background.
Keep the Work Simple.
AS the requirement of this new pic
ture form opens up large field of SUBJ
jects, the interest of the child ought to
be proportionately increased. The
teacher in his own efforts to find subjects
should at first be governed by the limita-
tions of the block figure, at the same
time recognizing it's possibilities. It's
field of action is sufficiently large with
out attempting foreshortening or other
difficulties that have kept the work so
far out of the skilled draughtsman's
province. The three-quarters view of
the human figure may be tried later, but
it stays with questions of perspective
that would better wait than be answered
now. The child should be occupied with
what it can do with it's medium, end not
with what it cannot. The subjects that
will follow are chosen on these lines,
and lead to use of the human figure in
storytelling where more complicated
use of it can be reasonably required.

ST. PAUL IN BACKWOODS.
CLERGYMAN Makes a Hit with Ora
ton Supposed to Be
Original.

The other day clergyman suddenly
was called upon to go to backwoods
district in a neighboring state to read
the funeral service over the body Of
a friend who had died while on
visit to the farm which he had left
many years ago as small boy. 1t
was a wild region. Within miles of
the abandoned farm there was no
church, and only one small red
schoolhouse," where there was teach
ing for three months in the winter
1t was a primitive community and
the people came to the funeral over
roads unmended and leading through
woods which had grown up in what
were once cultivated fields! All the
best blood of the region had been
drawn away in to the cities. The peo-
pie who remained were the survival
of the unfittest," says the New York
Press.
In his hurry to catch the train which
should take him to the nearest rail-
road station the clergyman caught up
his hymnal instead of the prayerbook,
and when he came to conduct the
funeral service found that he must go
over the Episcopal burial service from
memory as best he could. So without
book, he repeated from memory the
beautiful words of that service, the
whole thing having to the eyes of the
assembled farmers the appearance OF
an extemporaneous effort on the par
sons part Now, the lesson always
read at such services is that magnifi-
cent. essay on death by st. Paul
First Corinthians, 15:2O-beginning.
''Now is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits of them
that slept" 1t is the longest single
part of the service, and the congrega-
ton listened breathlessly to it. AT
ter the funeral delegation of farm
ers and their wives came to the clergy
man, and the spokesman said:
"That was the best funeral sermon
we ever heard We want to thank you
for it"
They thought it original.

man: sit has been preached before and

DISCOURAGED INVENTOR.
He Had a Unique Device, But There
Was Serious Draw
back to It.

1T is a combination lawn mower and
snow shovel. By simply twisting this
knob to the left the grasscutting mechan-
ism is turned into set Of paddles that
literally sweep the snow to both sides of
the path. You see. by combining both
implements in one, together with per-
feet ease of operation, the great saving
of space and strength, and"
''I;m sorry" interrupted the manufac-
turer, "but it will never do. Don't you
see, by the end OF the summer the aver
age man is so tired of and angry with
his lawn mower that he halls the snow
shovel with Joy, and by the end of the
winter he feels just as bitter toward
the snow shovel, and is once more de-
lighted to push the lawn mower. But
If you combine the two, then he will
simply have the memory of one ever be-
fore him while he is operating the
other"
Realizing the truth of the statement.
the inventor took up his mooel and
went out, saying that perhaps he could
twist the thing around and convert it
into mop holder and dress filter for
women, as they would buy anything.

figure will be treated as other objects
have been, by reducing it to the simplest
drawn form that can stand for the OBJ
ject it represents. The block figures
given are but a variation of the many
ways devised for the simpli6cation of
the human figure. AS these ways ap-
proach anatomical completeness they
grow in complexity and difficulty. The
way here used is as far from such CON-
pleteness as it is simple. That 1t is so
far removed does not leave it incapable
of expression and lifelike action. The
human symbol stands in the same rela-
ton to man as the tree symbols to will
lows, pines or apple trees, and meets the
same superstition that the draughts-
mans knowledge is not present.
Easy to Make Stick Figures.
The natural assumption on the part of
the unframed is that the human figure
is beyond their ability to represent, yet
they would feel confident they could
place the letters o. W. II. in vertical
line where the result would not be far
from the stick figures by which the child
is taught to study action. Fortunately
for the child, it fears nothing and is
willing to assume its power where its
elder lacks courage. This courage is its
most valuable attribute, and this meth
cd relies more upon it than upon the
child's intelligence or perception. The
squares and circles that are used to
make up the symbols are no more COM
pick in their combinations than the
same forms combined to represent
house. The difference is in making them
cSRyey by inclinations and angles ideas

That the child naturally demands hui

TOLD OF PROMPTERS.
One Who Warned Against the VIII
lain and One Who Was
a Hunter.

The ex-prompter of the Coincide
Franchise had committed suicide.
The poor man had been an inmate
of Sainte Anne's lunatic asylum for
some time. At half-past eight O'Clock
each evening he fancied he heard the
three traditional knocks which, in a
French theater, herald the going up
of the curtain. He would become
very excited and declare that the
company was waiting for him. What
will M. Mounet-Sully say?" he would
exclaim.
Stories are told of other prompters.
There was one good man in SUBJ
urban theater whose own private
troubles were revived every time the
innocent heroine was carried off by
the villain of the piece. "Ah, the
scoundrel!" he would shout from his
box. Can they not see what he is
doing?" He would give audible warn
ings to the husband to keep his wife
clear from all intrigues against her
fidelity. These remarks "hors texte'
were a little embarrassing to the
actors and actresses upon the stage,
who were never quite certain which
belonged to the book and which was
the Invention of the ssouffeur.''
Another member of this humble
profession was a great Nimrod. His
days were spent in shooting. On
many occasions he arrived at the the
alter with his bag or cartridges and
ground game. In an evil moment he
brought also his retriever. The ami
NAL crouched quietly enough at bis
feet in the little box below the stage,
until he was agitated by the behavior
of the hero and commenced to bark
furiously. 1t was pointed out 20 the
dog owner that he was paid to prompt
and not to bark, and the spaniel came
no more to the theater.

GET RID OF THE GAS
Or. Williams Pink Pills Strengthen
the Stomach and Enable 1t to
Do Its Work.

When the stomach is feeble the food
lies in it undigested, decays and throws
off poisonous gases that distend the
walls of the stomach and cause inter.
ference with other organs, especially
with the action Of the heart and lungs.
These gases have other i'll effects. The
nerves and the brain are disturbed
and discomforts such as dizziness, hot
flashes, sleeplessness, irritableness and
dependency originate from this source.
Experience shows that these troubles
vanish lust as soon as the stomach is
made strong enough to digest the food.
In other words, it needs tonic that will
rouse it to do the work of changing the
food into nourishment.
Miss Minerva G. Ladd, of Ipswich,
Mass, says: 81 had q weak stomach
from the time was little child.
Whenever 1 took hearty food it would
cause terrible faintness, and I would
finally vomit what I had eaten. At
times there would be the most intense
pains through the upper part of my
body. For days i'll succession, would
have to lie down most of the time.
The distress was often so great that I
could hardly bear it, and the frequent
and violent belching spells were very
aisagreeable, too.
"My doctors medicines gave me little
relief and it was not until tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills that found a cure.
Within three weeks decided improve
ment was noticeable. The belching
spells were less frequent, the pains
through my body were not so intense,
my food was retained and after taking
the pills for few weeks longer found
that 1 was altogether free from the
niseries had so long suffered.

to Eat and How to Eat" Write the DIR.

COMMERCIAL cUL11Nes.

SwitZerland's exports of machinery
and implements in 1904 are valued at
about $9,5OO,OOO. Electrical machinery
and machines used for weaving. knit
ting and embroidering were the prin-
cipal items. AS this little country has
no iron or coal, but must import the
heavy materials by railroads, the ex-
portation of machinery speaks well for
cts Industrial skill.
The American financial condition
was so easy in 1905 that we were able
TO import S648,000,000 worth of dutia-
BILE foreign goods, an excess over 1904
of $1O3, 100000, and over 1903 of $685.
100000; at the same time our imports
Of free goods amounted to $3.50, 900, 900,
an excess over 1904 of $40,000,000 and
over 1903 OF $93,00O,0OO. Together,
those increases in 1905 over 1904
amounted to s143,000,000.
According to the government report,
the United States consumed last year
about one-fourth of the sugar produc-
ton of the world. Nearly all the
sugar brought into this country is pro-
duced from cane, and the United States
consumes fully one-half of the cane
sugar produced in the world. Cane
sugar is forming at present larger
proportion of the worlds sugar supply
than during 1890-1902.
There has been a remarkable in
crease this year in exports to Japan
In ten months the exports to China
have been $5O,OOO,O0O, compared with
$2O,OO0,OOO last year, and to Japan the
total for the same time has jumpe
from So, 100000 to $4,000, 900. Our Pa
cific ferriage to those countries is di-
rect and Europe cannot hope to COM
pete with it in distance and cheap
ness.
Our foreign commerce of the calen-
dar year just closed reached the gigan-
tic total of s2.SO6,O 100000, by far the
largest years business in the history
of American foreign commerce, and
g1,145, 100000 more than in 1896. Tha
balance of trade in our favor arising
out of our foreign commerce of 1905
was SAT-, sos, 900, and that for the last
four years exceeds $1,743, 100000, an
average of almost $436,O0O,000 year,
equal to nearly S1,50000 day for 300

of action, intention or condition. The
study of action has been reduced to SIM
pie methods by many of the masters, and
of these methods the use of the familiar
stick figures recommends itself as more
manageable for the child, because the
intention is SO quickly conveyed.
A few attempts with the stick man
will show his possibilities. He can walk,
run, jump, weep, rage or dance as his
lines are inclined. Gestures can readily
be translated by him, and a new field
of observation is found for the child.

haustive treatment of expression and
action by line DR.. Runners Elements

Stick Figures in Action.
The stick figure should be given the
child to use in the study of action along
with the block figures, of which its pic
