STYLES OF ENGRAVING.
by Which Designs Are
Cut from Metal.

Engraving in the strictest sense of
the word is 1.-THE art of scratching
marks or figures upon tablets of n
hard substance" In q narrower sense
it is used to designate the cutting of
designs upon metal plates or blocks
OF wood for the purpose of printing
Impressions from them upon paper or
some other like substance with ink.
The methods of producing these i'm
lpresslons nay be by engraving on wood
or on metal. The latter method is
uscF more extensively today. and cop
per is the metal most commonly used
to engrave upon. Steel has recently
been largely used on ccoun of its
hardness and greater durability, but IT
Is less easily engraved upon than cop
Der, and the resulting print is likely
TO be less free m artistic in its. lines.
Engraving as a means of reproduc-
ing pictures and illustrations in black
and white attained the height of its
popularity in the first half Of the nine
teenth century. For many years all
the more delicate work was engraved
upon metal. Line engraving, acqua-
tinting, etching and mezzotinting are
all methods of engraving on metal, the
first being the most common.-New

DETECTIVES IN BIG STORES.
Yearly Loss from Thefts Amount
TO a Large Sum.

Department stores suffer heavy loss
by theft every year" said a man on the
detective staff of a large local store.
For this reason the management is
continually spending large amounts to
check this leakage. which seems to
spring from every possible source. The
detective staff has to be changed or
modified every few months for several
reasons. For one thing, the profess
sional shoplifter who carries away in
concealment every day considerable
quantities of goods learns to spy out a
detective very quickly.
For another thing, the petty pllferer
who steals because she wants more
than she can afford, or the genuine
,kleptomaniac, are all equally clever In
spotting a detective. Then, again,
there is the dishonest employee. The
clerks naturally soon learn the store
detectives. OF course, the examinations
are conducted as much as a measure
of protection for the honest employee
as to discover the dishonest, and there
are. seldom any objections TO this neces-
sary system. but we are looking for
new ideas and improved methods all the
time, for the quantity of goods that
passes unpaid for out of q store in the
course of a year is almost unbeliev-
able"

VARIOUS BRANCHES
OF TRUCKING BUSINESS

t E. r
The extent of trucking in this city is
shown by the fact thai more than 300
firms and individuals are engaged in the
business. Many of these employ from
ten to fifty trucks, while not a few u
over a hundred. Thousands of men n
horses are therefore required to carry 1t
on. By far the larger number of truck
men are engaged in what is
known as the forwarding and
transportation branch Of the bus
mess, that is in handling mer-
| chandise for railroad and steamship
companies and large mercantile houses.
Still there are many other branches,
some of them separate and important.
One of the chief of these is express
trucking. Most of the big express com
panies own their trucks, nevertheless q
considerable part of the business is done
under contract by trucking concerns.
Another distinct branch of the business
and not n of the least important Is In
moving household and ONCE furniture.
Then there Is a branch devoted to
moving heavy machinery, requiring the
services of skilful mechanics and labor
ers. Safe and piano moving are also
distinct branches requiring skilled labor.
The handling of live stock is another
distinct line. Many business houses
find 1t expedient not to rely on the
street cleaning department for the re-
moval or refuse and ashes, but to con-
F.! tract With truckmen for that purpose.

INDIANS SUDDEN WEALTH.
Wanted Money from Sale Of
Land in Greenbacks for Display.

Wealth has suddenly come to the
French River Indians through the sale
of the valuable timber on their lands
near Lake Nipissing. For many years
the late chief of the Ojibways sternly
~repulsed the advances of the lumber
men, but his son has yielded to their
solicitations, and it is stated that alto
gether the band will ultimately be en-
titled to something like f200,0 00. The
distribution is being made by Indian
Agent Cockburn at Sturgeon Falls. The
assembled braves listened stolidly to the
explanations of the agent that the piece
of paper each received meant nat a
large sum of money was in the Quebec
bank to their credit, which could be OBJ
tanned when required. A short lecture
On banking and the convenience of the
savings department followed, after
which the recipients marched solemnly
to the bank and drew the face value of
the checks.
Burdened with wealth, they returned
to the agents Office, whereseach Indian
piled his money up on the table n
joyfully regarded the stat S of green
backs which spelled ease and comfor
for some time to- come. One Indian in
sisted on having bills of small denomi-
and was loaded up with a noun
tain of gr~eenbacks. With a grin he
staggered into the Office. money bulg-
ing out of every pocket. Slowly UNI
packing himself. he piled his treasure
on the table, making a bigger display
than any of his red brothers, which
afforded him the greatest satisfaction.
With difficulty the men were dis
suaded from carrying off their money
to the reserve, twenty miles across
Lake Nipissing, but finally, after max
ing generous purchases n paying
their bills, nearly all deposited their
wealth in the bank. 1t is stated that
the sale will mean an income to some
families of $500 a rel A not unnat-
ural result of this sudden acquisition of
wealth has been the frequent and prn-
|longed visits of young bucks from other
tribes, who are finding new atlfactiols
among the maidens of the Dokis fami-
hes. The matrimonial market has
shown quite a boom. One wedding has
already taken place and indications are
favorable for many more in the near
future, as every Dokis maiden repre-
sents an immediate cash value of about
1900 and a prospective yearly income

i SOME MIXED PROVERBS.

A fool and his money are soon dis

in the way you feel about an hour aft

balance sheet. Where there's smoke

tie widow is q dangerous thing. Train
up a servant in the way she should go,
and the first thing you know she's
gone. A bird in the hand is worth two

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF MOON
WILL BE SEEN HERE

For the first time within several
years there is to be a total eclipse of
the moon visible to Montgomerians at
seasonable hour. Astronomers state
that the moon will rise in eclipse about
Z o'clock on Thursday night. At first
the light will be almost totally OBJ
scured, and as the body ascends in the
heavens the more perfect will become
the eclipse. There will be. however,
small portion of the lunar body which
will not be obscured, but to all intents
and purposes there will be a total
eclipse visible to Montgomery. The
light which will be seen win be a dim
red, and not the bright silver of a
clear night.
The phenomenon win be observed all
over the United States, but those peo-
pie living east of the Mississippi VIII
be given more perfect eclipse than
those living In the western section.
Astronomers, therefore at the big East
ern universities will closely watch the
gradual darkening Of the moon through
the big telescopes, but there will be no
scientific observations In Montgomery.
Two weeks later there will be an
eclipse of the sun shortly before sun
set. There will not be a total eclipse
and the partial light will be little OBJ
served, In all probability, as the time
before dark Is very short.

TO ENLARGE GROUND
COUNTRY CLUE WILL PURCHASE
ADDITIONAL ACRE.
More TEAMS Court Are Needed and
Additional Ground VIII Prevent
Building Of Small Cottages
Adjacent to PRESENT

At the next or near meeting Of the
members of the Country Club Of Mont
geometry the directors will recommend
the purchase of about an acre and a
half of ground adjoining the tennis
courts on the west side. The directors
have agreed upon terms satisfactory
to themselves and the owners of the
1and-the lots rather-and it is prob
able that the deal will be consum-
mated very soon
Negotiations were undertaken with Ed
s. watts, representing the majority OF
the ownership, 1t is. proposed not TO
take funds TO be derived from the new
bond issue voted upon, but to float the
indebtedness by mortgage. The meet
ing to pass finally on the bond issue
for the erection Of new club build
ing and the retirement OF existing
debts will be held next Friday night
at the club quarters. The issue
amounts to 5000 of which no less
than $4,000 will be put into the new
structure.
The proposed purchase OF the new
real estate Is considered almost es-
sential to the freedom of the clubs
growth. It is especially designed to
aid the expansion of the tennis
grounds and should stop the ere0tion
of houses in close proximity to the
new club which might mar the pros
pect Of the grounds
1t Is said that the addition Of the
acre and a half to the grounds next
the existing tennis courts@means the
building within the next twelve
months of several more courts! Al
present there are four courts, but they
are not enough. There were out yes
terday more players than could be &C
commodated.
At the meeting next Friday night
the members will not only vote finally
on the constitutional amendments ne
cessary to floating the new bonds. but
the exact plans of the new building
may be taken up! The plans that
have been printed are Of course tenta-
tive and it'll is about agreed that they
Will undergo material change.
At the next or a near meeting also
will be considered the landscape archi-
tect's plans drawn several months age
when Mr.. olmstead, of New York, Wis.
tied Montgomery. These will be dis
cussed in connection with the position
and appearance of the new club house
