MiIlet,s Difficulties.

Two of Millet's famous pictures,
the "Sower" and the Binders, .
were produced in damp studio, in
effeetually warmed by tiny stove.
In order to keep warm he would
work with his feet in big wooden
shoes stuffed with straw, himself
enveloped in a heavy horse cloth
with a hole il its center, through
which he put his head! In these
pictures Millet had simply sought
to express with all his might one
of the phases of mans unceasing
combat with nature. But sHpelit-
icaI1 parties drew their conclusions,
The 1abor" party declared that
these pictures protested against the
misery of the Iaborer, while official
critics said that the artist sought
to set class against class. At this
time Millet willingly painted sign
board for a Partisan tradesman. But
then he painted it so well in the end
1t figured in On exhibition of his
works in the School of Fine Arts.

DUCK HUNTING.
The Way the Indians Get the Fowl
Without Shooting.

btAASAN SffNSeit6A
A tribe of Indians had come for
their annual trapping and hunting,
and as I knew many of them / spent
several days in their camp. One
bright, cool afternoon in October a
young buck said to me: "You come,
me show how catch duck alive. No
shoot" He gathered up a bunch
of long dried grass, willow twigs
and leaves and beckoned me to fol-
low We went nearly two miles to
the edge of a large lumber slough,
the banks of which for some dis
tance back were. covered with willow
and other brush. Cautiously and
noiselessly he made his way through
the bushes until a view of the water
could be had, ourselves remaining
unseen. A large flock of butterballs
were swimming near the lower end
of the slough. Going back, he di-
vested himself of blanket and what
little other wearing apparel he pos
Sessed. Picking up the hay bundle,
which was built around a sort Of
skull cap or head covering, with
openings for the eyes, and adjusting
it on his head, he slipped silently
into the water. Getting in a posi-
ton where. I could watch him, I
witnessed the gradual floating to-
ward the ducks of the small partly
submerged bundle of dried grass
and twigs, now stopping, turning
around, advancing a few feet and
then checking again, naturally and
deliberately, as if moved by the cur
rent until it was in the midst of the
flock without exciting any suspi-
cion on their part. Suddenly two
of their number were ierked under
water, the balance of the flock arts
ing with loud quacks and flying
away. In minute or so the In
dian emerged from the water, hold
ing duck in each hand by the legs,
shook himself and, shifting his
hands, wrung the neck of first one
duck and then the other, threw
them on the ground and with the

Brilliant Spectacle.

About $50 last night a meteor
passed over Brownsville from west
to east. Like a big arc light with
a tail of FIRE apparently a hundred
yards long its progress through the
heavens was a magnificent sight
When the burning mass had just
passed the meridian an explosion
occurred within the meteor causing
a shower of debris which made an
awe-inspiring spectacle. The parts
of the meteor thrown aside by the
explosion were almost instantly
consumed. giving forth white and
red lights like thousands of in
candescent lamps. The great mass
OF the meteor continued its majes-
tic fight across the heavens, car
ryiug a stream of FIRE in its wake
which reminded one of the retinue
of courtly knights attending the
triumphant march of king.

Whiskers.

"Whiskers" was word formerly
used to designate the hair on the
upper lip. Scott more than once
speaks of "whiskers on the upper
lip" and SO does Defoe in ROBIN
son Crusoe." johnson defined a
"whisker" as "the hair growing on
the upper lip or cheek unshaven, a
mustachio." 1t seems to have tax
en- its name from o fancied resem-
hlanee to small brush, to "whisk'
properly meaning to sweep, and e
'whisker" having been a particular
kind of feather brush; also, in the
slang of former time, switch OF
rod. In the seventeenth century a
"whisker" signifed, among other
things, a brazen lie, "whoppar."

ANCIENT INVENTIONS.
Articles of Modern Use That Were
Known to the Romans.


Known to the Romans.
Safety pins were articles of COM
mon use In Italy long before the
Roman empire attained the height
of its glory" says a writer "Some
of them were exactly like those of
today, utilizing the familiar princi-
pie of coIed spring and catch. But
the material of which they were
made seems always to have been
bronze. Many of them were quite
large affairs, ten inches or so in
length, and hollow, as if designed
to be attached to the gown in front,
and possibly to contain something
or other, conceivably flowers. Not
idfrequently they were ornamented
with gems. Another ancient inven-
ton was the collar stud. 1t is true
that the ancient Romans did not
use buttons to fasten their gar
ments, but for this very reason safe
ty pins were more urgently requir-
ed, and the latter seem to have been
supplemented by studs of bronze,
which were in shape exactly like
those of today. Of course people in
those times wore no collars, but the
little continuance in question was
utilized in other ways.
"The Smithsonian institution at
Washington has got together very
interesting collection of such an
cient inventions. Among other OBJ
iects in this collection are thimbIes
$500 years old. They are of bronze,
and their outer surfaces show the
familiar indentations for engaging
the head of the needle. The women
in those DAYS had bronze bodkins,
made just ike those in use now, and
for toilet purposes they employed
small tweezers of a pattern that has
not been altered in 1000 years. To
hold their hair in place they had
not hit upon the notion of bending
a wire double. But they used for
that purpose straight bronze pins,
made exactly like modern hatpins,
with big spherical heads. 1t is from
this early type of hairpin, in truth,
that the common hatpin of today is
derived.
"Other curios, from the old
Etruscan tombs, are strainers, la
dies, spoons and knives of bronze.
Such articles, as well as bronze dag
gers and other weapons and uten-
sis, were cast most commonly in
molds that were carved out of hard
stone, a pair of stones being re-
quired to produce the object, which
was afterwaTd polished and other
wise elaborated. Among the most
interesting of the contrivances for
the toilet is a fine tooth comb of
ivory, which in shape is precisely
like the fine toothed combs of to-
day. Of course the gentleman Of
ancient Rome was obliged to shave
himself, and he had to use a razor
which must have made the opera
ton very severe. 1t was of bronze
and somewhat like small sickle,
very broad in the moon shaped
blade and with a handle rigidly at
tached.
at is, well known that the ancient
Romans knew how to plate one met
al with another. They made and
some of them, ike Cicero, wore
false teeth. Every Roman gentle
man had a latchkey which fitted
the door of his dwelling. 1t was at
tached to a finger ring, SO that it
could not easily be lost and would
always be ready for convenient use,
no matter what the hour or the con-
dition of the owner" = Chicago

But it declined to carry gold dust
unless paid for at the rate of So
a pound. The company refused
to be held responsible for the loss
of gold dust by robbers, Indians
or other means.
The pamphlet also advertised
fast freight line between Atchi-
son and Denver, Colorado. The
round trip was made in the short
space of 20 days. To ship by
this method all merchandise had
to be wrapped in waterproof
packages. A package weighing
10 pounds could be sent by that
route for SIS, All over that
weight was sent at the reduced
rate of 81 for five pounds.
In its advertisement for pas
sengers to California the pamph-
let, as stated before, allowed
every passenger 25 pounds of
baggage. However, it advised,
that as many persons wished to
take more baggage than the
weight-limit, it would be safer to
send it to California by sea.
"And to think that we can get
on a train tonight and be in Den

said as he compared the time
