JAPANESE sTENc1L1Ne ART.
Graceful Beauty Added to Crude
Work of Old Masters.
'om Good Housekeeping

From Good Housekeeping.
During the last few years we find art
stenciling. as best taught us from jap
anese examples. a real art of inestimable
value in home furnishing.
Stencil work occupies an important
place in the arts and crafts movement.
The possibilities are unlimited, art object
growing in popularity owing to the SIM
plicity OF preparation and application.
Practically any kind of surface can be
stenciled. The Japanese make stencils of
every variety. though largely OF conven-
tionalized designs of both animate and
inanimate objects. This intense conven-
shows Chinese influence but
the Japanese have added graceful
beauty and fineness to the rather crude
work of the old masters. Their quaint
characters are often interIningled in the
finished designs. They are the first ma
ton to recognize stenciling as national
art. for in Japan we find that stenciled
goods have been in use for household
and decorative purposes for the past three
hundred years.
Stenciling as taught us by the Japanese
is simply the application of ornamental
design to any surface by means of a stem
ell plate. usually made of strong null
berry paper which has been treated with
persimmon juice and oiled to make it
waterproof. The design of the artist is
pasted on and then cut out by a sharp
chisel-like knife. The paper is previously
doubled and after cutting can be sep
arated by dampening.

A Literary Remonstrance.

Edwin Markham in the Los Angeles Examiner
1 have noticed in the papers of late sev.
erai statements in the form Of interviews
attributing to mo certain literary opinions
which fail to represent my. position. For
instance. 1 am represented as saying that
Bret Harte will outlive Hawthorne; also
that the writer's of the west have done
more significant work than was done by
the great Concord school,
Now 1 do not belittle the west when
say that this scale of values is not ac-
curate l do not belittle the immensely of
the Yosemite Falls by saying that might
Ter still is the white plunge OF Niagara
Hawthorne stands in solitary eminence in
his special field of psychological romance,
while Bret Harte is unique in his more
obvious and objective domain of the adj
yenturous, unconventional west, Haw-
thorne rises to the universal, while Bret
Harte is narrower. more parochial
circle-Emerson, Lowell, Longfellow and
the rest-represent the most important
group of writers in our literary history.
The western group are as distinct from
them in form and aim as they are distinct
from the English pre-Raphaelites.
But this weighing of writer's in the bal
ance-man against man, school against
schools usually as futile as was the
weighing Of pigs in Posey county, Ind, in
my grandfather's day, when hey bal
anced a pig against a stone and then
guessed at the weight of the stone.

Tennyson and the Princesses.


Tennysons egoism showed itself I'm his
inordinate fondness for reading his own
poetry aloud to any one and every one
who would listen to him. There is a
story of his having been invited by the
Princess Of Wales to be her guest on the
royal yacht. A sister Of the princess, Tn.
Czarina Of Russia. was also one of the
party. Tennyson was much overcome by
the high rank Of the two royal and i'm
perial ladies, and could do nothing but
fidget about, except when they asked him
to read aloud to them; whereupon he
would take out volume of his works
and declaim by the hour. gesticuIating
and now and then moving backward and
forward from sheer joy at the sound of
his own words. This was all very we'll
for while. but after a time the czarina
tried TO get him away from his poetry
and into general conversation. Then the
laureate grew very awkward He fell
that he must bow to each of the roval-
ties whenever he replied to one of them
and he became badly tangled in his effort
to address them with the proper forms
of speech. Finally. the czarina, vino wa 6

MOTHER SAVES HER BOY.
Catches Him When Thrown From a
Window.

BALTIMORE, October 27.-To escape
from what seemed certain death one
woman jumped and a child was thrown
from the secondstory window of burn
ing house at S14 St. Peter street early
yesterday morning. Mrs. Addie Risley
climbed out on the roof of bay window
next door and reached the street by going
through her neighbours house.
Mrs. Cordelia Sheppard daughter of
Mrs. Risley, was awakened by the smash
ing of window glass and discovered the
house was on fire. She Immediately call
ed her mother, who was sleeping in the
back room on the second story. The
flames had already reached the second
story and the occupants were in danger.
Mrs. Sheppard cried to her mother TO
throw her son. James, from the window.
Mrs. Sheppard then jumped through the
closed window, inf1icting painful cuts.
Mrs. Rsley threw the boy from the
window and he was caught by his moth
er on the street below. He was not hurt
and seemed none the worse for his close
escape. Mrs. Risley was burned on the
hands and face. Her hair was badly
singed and she was unnerved by the
shock. Mrs. Sheppard sprained her foot
severely.
The furniture in the house was COM
pletely destroyed.
