COPPERPLATE ENGRAVING.
The Art Was Discovered Through the
Meresf Accident


Merest Accident.
Every one has noticed on his visiting
card the extremely delicate lines Of
his name, and almost every one knows
that they are produced by printing
from an engraved copperplate. Like
many other things of use and beauty,
this art of copperplate engraving was
discovered through the merest accident
by the goldsmiths of Florence in the
fifteenth century. 1t is historical
fact, however, that one day an engrav-
er on gold, wishing to take 4 proof of
his work, made the usual sulphur cast
and then filled up the lines with lamp
black, thus enabling him to see exactly
how his work looked. While occupied
in doing this 1t occurred to him that
possibly the same results could be OBJ
tanned by filling up the original en-
craving with lampblack instead Of
making an impression Of it and filling
up that. Struck with the idea, he put
it into practical use, and with a little
damp paper succeeded in getting a fair
impression from the engraving.
The discovery was communicated to
other workers in the art, and they
hailed 1T with joy, as it saved all the
arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
of the discovery, and consequently the
art of plate engraving lay for almost
century before Its true import was
discovered and brought out In all its
great and beautiful results. Today col
lectors of plate engravings rave over
the crude results of earlier times and
search the world for examples of these
early masters to add TO their collec-
tions Many Of these collections have
they may be seen and appreciated by
the people.

TIE BEsT SLEEP.
II Is That which One Cannot Avoid
without Struggle,


without Struggle.
When debating the question, How
much sleep is needed? one must keep
in mind that the best sleep, indeed, the
only healthy kind, Is that which one
cannot avoid without a struggle. 1t is
the sleep that always follows on weari-
ness; it Is not that which is obtained
by difficulty. If person slept for three
hours right away and then awoke re-
freshed-that is, with no further in
clination TO sIeep-he would not then
be in need of 1t. His proper course
would be to arise and engage in work.
But he must be prepared to sleep at
any time In the day when the longing
occurs. To the latter rule there is one
exception. Let US suppose that one
has acquired the habit Of sleeping half
the night and lying half awake during
the remaining half. Such a habit can
be best broken by rising after the first
sleep and refraining from a nap In the
day. When the bed hour arrives the
chances ara that the victim Of insom-
MIA will be 80 sleep hungry that he
will not wake until the proper pouy for
rising.
In any case it is great mistake to
turn over on the other side ana remain
IN half conscious state. Indeed 1t Is
a more serious mistake than many
would believe, says Home Notes. The
brain Is now in peculiar state. more
closely resembling the hypnotic than
would be possible under any other nor
NAL conditions, Quite lot might be
written about the peculiar dangers and
powers Of this half waking state.

ssThe Little She-devils."

Anent the ThRw shooting, lot OF the
rankest kind Of nonsense La being writ
ten and printed about the alturements
and temptations to which the poor, In
nocent chorus girls are being subjected
by the men Of wealth and sensuality.
Editors are moraliZing on the degener-
acy OF morals and ministers are shout
ing themselves black in the face over
the wrongs perpetrated ON the little she
devils back of the foot-lights. in all
human probability much OF this
sympathy Ia undeserved. One chorus
girl, who was interviewed on the sub
1ect, after exacting promige that her
name would not be mentioned. as 1t
would cost her her job said: The
principal fault is with the girls them
selves. Most OF them are anxious to
have millionaires introduced to them.
Temptatioas9 Nonsense They are
hunting for such temptations. Chorus
girls run no more Tiek Of being led
astray than girls in any other walk OF
life. There are certain men to whoa
theatrical managers cannot deny GER
tain privileges. Stanford White was
one of these. He built Madison Square
Garden and was vice president OF the
company that owned it. Consequently
he had a right to 60 anywhere he liked.
Most chorus girls considered it a great
feather in their caps to be seen with
Stanford White or any of hts associates.
He was generous to an extreme. Ii he
had pet IN the show she nould enter
tain the entire company at his expense.
Every girl knew what his attentions
meant, and most OF us would have
given up years pay to get those at
tentions. On ono occasion he gave a
litter dinner to lot OF girls. each of
whom found $50 gold piece under q
box of candy at her plate. There was
not a girl there who did not know what
delicate hint as hidden in that gold
piece, and when they were given to un-
derstand that things would come pretty
lively before the night was ever, and
that any one who did not care to CON
tribute her share might leave her $50
gold piece and go, those who stayed did
so because they wanted TO stay, "-Ex.

THE gold output of the Rand district
In South Africa has steadily increased
since the Boer war and is now consider
ably above the highest production be-
fore the war. But at the same time the
market prices Of shares in the Rand
mines have fallen over one-half, or a
shrinkage OF about $3.50, 900, 600 This
incongruity 10 not explicable by market
conditions. The Boer war was brought
on by the mining interests because the
Boer Government would not frame it's
labor laws to supply practically en-
forced labor OF the natives in the mines
After the outrageous aggression has
been pushed to completion at over
whelming cost to the British taxpayer
the Rand mining companies are finding
that the British Government will 20 no
further in enforcing contract labor in
the mines than the Boer Government
did. Various propositions for coolie
labor have been advanced and some
even experimental with. But when
they had to stand the light OF parlia-
mentary debate the support OF the Gov
ernment had to be withdrawn from
them. In essential features the matter
liz similar to the troubles OF the Hawai-
ian sugar planters, only ON a larger
scale. The mining interests grossly
overestiEated the gains that were ex-
pected from the war, and the deprecia-
tion Of their shares marks the acuteness
of their disappointment.

THE funny man has been vindicated
again. Every once in while we are
surprised to find the time-honored jokes
that were jokes because they were alb
surd reproduced in real life. Genera
tion after generation has been supposed
to chuckle at the supposedly fatal ef-
feet OF bath upon tramp. now the
West India natives at work upon the
Panama Canal are proving it.
If the official report can be believed
the very perfection of sanitation and
cleanliness which yas TO make life on
the igtbmus as safe as anywhere o!se
is proving more deadly than yellow
fever itself. The argument Is that the
Jamaican negroes, accustomed TO do
without fresh air and well ventilated.

transition much as the tramp was sup
posed to in the ancient joke when con

lungs cannot stand the pressure, 1t is

A Terrible Revenge.

For fiendish ingenuity the murder OF
Frank Getzner, an employe or the j. b.
King plaster works at NeT Brighton,
Staten Island, who was killed early last
Saturday morning by being tied to
revolving shaft by his companions. mas
probably never been surpassed
Fifty men employed in the factoiy
have been arrested, pending the invesu-
COTTON OF the Coroner and police
The body of GetZuer was found ey
the dav workmep, stripped Of its cloth
ing aud beaten TO a pulp by being
whirled aud threshed against the beams
OF the roof and the machinery beneath
Ii was almost unrecogniZable.
Gatzuer was in charge IT the night
shift. whose duty il is TO clean up the
mill each night and have it ready Tor
the day force to begin work. His force
consisted Of about 30 Poles and Italians
About a week ago Getzner reported one
OF the men. who is only known as No.
2O3. to Superintendent S. w. Fancher
for being lax in his work. The super
intendent reprimanded the man before
his companions. GetZner was told 70
see that No. 203 performed his full
share Of the work GetZner CARRIED
ont mis- instructions and during the last
week he had narrowly escaped Geatn
three times by accidents caused by
the carelessness of his fellow workme n:
That night the night shift gathered
ND the short bits of rope used TO tie salt
| bags and made rope Of about % or ~
feet by tying the bits together. Sad
denly Getzner was seized by his com
| panions and, while he was held. some.
one tied the rope about his feet and
ankles.
The room showed that he made ter
rife struggle for his life.
| The free end of the rope was then
passed over the revolving shafting a
couple of times Slowly the shafting
began to wind up the slack rope, the
| men holding Getzner, the Coroner says.
while il was taut
Then on the next turn GetZner was
| ierked from his feet and suspended IN
the air until he was drawn up to the
shafting. He was then beaten against
| the beams and machinery until dead
The mans left leg was torn from hif
body
Five or six of the night shift were
questioned by the Coroner about tne
death of Getzner, and as their storie:
did not agree he ordered them all under
arrest The man known az No. 2O3 was
not among those arrested and the ponce
sent out general alarm for HIM
