CHEWING a Straw.

Grooms and hostlers are still par
tial to chewing straws, and in
France straw is put between the
ears of horse offered for sale, and
a French widow on the lookout for
a second husband is said to have a
"straw in her ear" Formerly at the
"mop" or ''hiring fairs" in many
parts of England stable boys and
grooms stood in the market place
with a straw in their mouths, while
the shepherds wore a lock of wool
in their caps. The custom of put
ting a straw in the mouth to show
that one is ready to be hired is not
extinct even now in the few places
where such fairs inger.-London

THE REWARD OF ART.
Sometimes II Is Munifieent and Some
times IL Is Pitiable.

In art, as in most other profes-
sions, the "plums" fall into the
hands of the few. A Sargent or a
Herkcmer may make his $25, 900 in
twelve months by his brushes. Mr..
"Dauber," who started his career
with equal promise, may barely
earn the check that pays his frame
makers bill.
Jean Francis Millet lived and
died a peasant, though he could
wear the ribbon of the Legion of
Honor. 1t was the proudest day of
his life when he received $3.50 for
the "Angelus," which a generation
later was sold for SIG, $50 at the
Secretan sale. John Crome was
glad to pocket a dollar apiece for
pictures, any one of which would be
snapped up today for hundreds of
dollars. George Morland parted
with many a masterpiece for the
price of an evenings carouse, and
Rembrandt's canvases are valued to-
day at $2O,OoO,OOo, yet he left moth
ing to his heirs beyond his clothes
and his paint brushes.
And who will say that these ma
gicians of the palette were less skill
full than the Orchardsons and Alma
Tademas of later years, whose can
vases, with the paint scarcely dry on
them, were exchanged for $4,000
or $4,000 each; than Frank Holl,
who painted 100000 worth of por-
traits in single year; of Landseer,
whose estate was sworn at $780,
600?
Today the painting of pictures
for nineteen artists out of twenty
is a costly hobby, which leaves lit
tie margin for even such a modest
luxury as marmalade. For every
score of canvases that are. fit to
adorn the walls of Burlington
House there is barely one purchaser,
and he has keen eye to a bargain.
Take two typical cases known to
the writer. Both men are highly
trained artists, whose academy pic
lures are seldom branded with the

fessed that he had barely $500 to
show as the net result of 1000
hours of industry last year. The
other, who had a canvas con the
line" before he saw his twenty-frst
birthday, was glad to sell his latest
picture, the fruits of six months
work, for less than it's frame cost.

DELHrs IRON PILLAR.
n 10 Made of Welded Metal Wrought
Fifteen Centuries Ago.

GheOou OSueettoo N9Os
The famous 'iron pillar of Del
hi" which stands in the inner court
yard of the mosque of Kontub,
about nine miles south of the mod
ern city, has always excited the in
terest of metallurgists and engi-
neers as well as historians. 1t was
probably made about 413 A. D. and
moved to its present site in 1862.
AS it is between twenty-three and
twenty-four feet high, sixteen
inches in diameter at the base and
twelve at the top and probably
weighs over six tons, its manufac-
ture at so early a period as the fifth
century partakes somewhat of the
marvellous.
And it was rendered even more
of a manufacturing wonder when
the discovery was made some years
ago that it was a solid piece of weld
ed wrought iron. The curious yell
lowish tinge of the upper part had
led to the belief that it consisted of
brass OF bronze The welding to-
gether of such a mass of metal in
those primitive days, centuries be-
fore the era of modern FORCES and
drop hammers. must have been
mighty troublesome job for King
Candra's ironworkers.
Some years ago Sir Alexander
Cunningham had a rough analysis
of the metal in the pillar made,
which finally proved it to be
wrought iron. Sir Robert Hadfeld,
a past president of the British Iron
and Steel institute, recently obtain
ed new samples of the column and
subjected them to a careful and
very thorough analysis, "the first
thorough analysis" he believes.
The result was as follows: Carbon,
0.Os; silicon, O.O46; sulphur, O.OO6;
phosphorus, OLA; iron, 99.72;
total, 1896.
1t is a really excellent type OF
wrought iron, says Sir Robert, and
much to be wondered at when the
date of its manufacture is borne in
mind. The small quantity of sui
phur indicates the use of an un-
usually pure fuel, probably char
coal. The absence of manganese,
an element usually present in
wrought iron, is also of interest.
The specific gravity of the metal
was found to be 7.81.-New York
Post.

When the motor ho-o-oted sud-

promptly bolted.
Jones hung on to the reins and
Brown hung on to the seat. Now,
Brown was making test trip, and
be thought of buying Jones' horse
and trap for $500.
:. On, on they went. Certainly the
horse was a goer, but where he was
going was quite another matter.
Dashing down a long hill, they
suddenly saw a road engine right in
the middle of the track at the bot
tom.
Nearer they came. It was a mat
ter of moments.

hoarsely, "when we get to the bot
tom I'll take $50 for the lot psf.

OUR EARLY MARKSMEN.
Il Took Muscles of Steel to Aim Their
Heavy, UngainIy Rifles.

Il Took Muscles of Steel to Aim Their
Heavy, UnsainIy Rifles.
The rifles of colonial and Revolu-
tionary days would stagger the mod
ern marksman to sight. Deckert, a
famous Pennsylvania gunsmith of
that time, made most of his rifles
sixty-four inches long with heavy
four foot barrel. 1t took muscles of
steel to aim such a weapon accu-
rately.
But to its owner such a rife was
often the most priced of all his
earthly possessions. He called it a
pet name; he kept it oiled and
cleaned to perfection; he gave it all
the credit of his successful marks
manship.
And largely he was right, for
the traditional skill of the Ameri-
can rifeman depended in no small
part on the skill that went into the
making of his weapon, handmade
in some frontier gunsmith's cabin
shop.
This long, heavy and slender
small bore rife was distinctly an
American development, and it
reached its climax when about 1850
some genius of riAeman hit upon
the device of wrapping the bullets
in a creased buckskin patch to
make it fit the bore tight.
1t was in no small part through
the craftsmanship attainable by
such weapons in the hands of the
New Englanders that Louisburg
fell; it was the accurate rife fire of
the Pennsylvanians and the south
ern rifemen under Morgan that cut
down the advancing French on the
plains of Abraham, and in the Rev
olution itself it was confidence in
the superiority of their weapons
that aided the Americans to cut off
Burgoyne in New York state and
Ferguson at Kings mountain, in
South Carolina.
The colonists were the greatest
weapon using people in the world
of that epoch. On his rife the
hunter, the pioneer and the settler
depended for food, for protection
against beast and savage and for Of
Tense in time of war. And the ne
cessity for the best produced the
best, something that the owner
priced next after his wife and chill
dren.-Boston Globe.

He Was Realistic.

A newly enrolled volunteer was
rather alarmed during his first ap-
pearance of sham fight, especially
as he heard the colonel in command
declare that everything was to be
done "the same as in actual war
fare" No sooner was the first blank
cartridge fired than the frightened
soldier dropped his gun and took to
his heels.
"Hey, why are you running
away" shouted the captain as the
man dashed by him.
'Tt's all right, sir. Pm doing the
same as would in actual warfare"

The Painter Won.

Often have painters and sculptors
discussed the relative merits of
painting and sculpture. A story is
told of an artist who resented the
disparaging comparisons made by a
sculptor and laid a wager that he
could within given time paint
picture which should display the
human figure as completely as any
sculptor could. The wager was ac-
cepted, and upon the appointed day
a painting was produced which full
filed all the conditions. 1t repre-
