How to Become an Artist.

Holman Hunt began his art labors
when at the age of four he cut off a
lock Of his own hair to make paint
brush. It is rather a serious matter
for the young artist rightly to choose
some picturesque and as far as posi-
BILE inadequate means of beginning his
career. We all know the story of Ben
jamin West and the cats tail. Aliston,
being colorist, is supposed to have
squeezed the luscious hueS from flow
ers to make his paints. AS there are
probably many young artists contem-
plating career, why not suggest a
few new ways of beginning?

uncle's chin whiskers, from auntie's

A New Phase of Biology.

A widow recently came from Albany
to live with relatives in Brooklyn. Her
new neighbors discovered that she was
given to romancing about small mat
ters. On her own behalf she claimed
to take the poetic view" Of life. But
one of her neighbors was inclined to
use shorter and more ugly word
in describing the trait. Among other
things the woman from Albany stated
that her late husband was biologist
in the states service, presumably at
Albany. Later on it was learned that
he really had been in the states serv-
ice, doing time at Sing Sing. for small

Says Congressman Jenkins, IL We
Would Avoid Clash Between
State and Nation.

Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, Aug. Con
house Judiciary committee, has issued
statement relative to the North Caro-
lima road rate imbroglio. He says
there has never been any event since
the civil war that calls for so severe
condemnation as the recent senseless
TRADE on behalf of states against the
nation. He adds that it is humiliating
that the matter has been compromised,
and that the nation has to some extent
surrendered.
1.-THE civil war was the result Of
such agitation, and we may have
earlier than we want another civil
war, he said. ''TO avert such a
cala .ity and preserve the nation we
must conform to the law, obey the law
and have the law enforced according
to the framework provided in the con-
stitution.

tinued. "other states have had similar
troubles and did not make fools Of
themselves or declare war, and the
questions involved were decided by the
supreme court and no bad results fol-
lowed. If all state authorities are GO
ing to usurp functions of the supreme
court and Judge what federal act shall
be nullfied, no one can tell where it

Mr.. Jenkins calls attention to the
fact that the state has the remedy il

Plaster of Paris.

For experimental purposes and where
but q few castings of medium and
light weight are required plaster OF
paris has many good advantages as
material for pattern making. 1t is
light, it can be given smooth surface,
it is easily given any required shape
and it can be added to indefinitely.
While it is brittle, this is more than
offset by the saving in first cost and
the quickness with which the pattern
may be prepared. Plaster of paris sets
in from three to six minutes, but if for
any reason it is desired to keep the
mass plastic for a longer period one
drop of glue to five gallon mixture
will keep it soft for a couple Of hours.
