Tho scene at an operating t26ae In

oue Of the old masters OF surgery stare.
The operator himself and all his stan
are dressed like the old holy priests Of
solomon's temple, wearing white caps
and gowns, with the nurses standing
around like priestesses all In spotess
white, while every one about the table
has gone through as many additions as
BELTS the occasion Of q bloody sacrifice
under the auspices Of the immaculate
goddess Of cleanliness. A minute and
elaborate ritual has been observed Of
sterilizing everything towels, threads,
needles, forceps, instruments and what
not-while the floor itself is made Of
glass or glazed tiles rather than Of
wood. The surgeon himself does not
venture to cut the victim till he has
put on his sterilized gloves, because
he cannot possibly clean his fingers
enough. Should any onlooker take his
hand out Of his pocket to reach for
the gaping wound he would be elected
instanter for spelling the whole per

FRANCE is JEALOUS.
Looks on American Treaty Negot.
oationa With Dislike.

BY Associated Press.
Paris, March 27.-While the cam
paign in favor Of higher tarin duties
on French imports with maximum
aud minimum rates is primarily to
secure preferential concessions from
all foreign countries in harmony
with the system OF double rates gen.
orally being adopted by continental
countries, It Is impossible to deny
that n special campaign Is being
projected against America. French
commercial interests are convinced
that America has more to lose than
France in refusing to make a reci.
procity treaty, as they believe that
the peculiar articles OF French ex.
portation taken by the United States
cannot be procured elsewhere and
would be imported irrespective VI
rates On IN. other hand. American
exports, as in the case OF colt
seed OIL would feel the force OF
every increase OF duties. There Is
also, undpuhtcdly considerable re-
sentiment Of the seeming willingness
Of the United States TO make a re-
ciprocity treaty or commercial ar.
rangement with Germany. while the
claims Of France are ignored They
maintain that under every rule Of
equity France should be the first
country with which reciprocity ar
rangoment should be concluded, be-
cause france came forward after the
enactment of the Dingley bill in 1897
and concluded a treaty under the re-
ciprocity clause OF that act and then
from time to time extenoea It's life
in the hope that II would be ratified
Since its rejection the ardor Of the
French has cooled and they take the
position that they can now afford to
wait until the United States makes n
move, II is especially CALLING to them

Shadow SketcI,es

Nature was the first artist and a
shadow sketch was the first picture
made. She is still spreading her beau
tiful designs wherever a beautiful OBJ
iect stands in the sunlight, and we are
about to learn what she can teach us
of her method. In going along country
roads and paths have you not admired
the shadows that the flowers and all
graceful plants cast on the ground?
Those OF leaves and vines actually dis
play the outlines Of the plants to even
better advantage than can be seen IN
the objects themselves, because shad
ows have no perspective and no shad-
ing. An easy way TO arrange a vase
of flowers or of leafy twigs for draw
ing is to study their shadow ON wall
while the vase is slowly turned until
the shadow shows them to be suitably
placed.
AS a rule objects like large leaves
and birds nests are best for simple
outlining, while delicate and compli-
Gated shadows like those cast by vines
and by most flowers are best for the
blackened surface of the silhouette.
Shadow outlines make good records
of flowers and plants if accompanied
by the usual notes on color and habit.
