Artists Who Are "PecuIiar."

There are in this country a number
of men who sacrifice beauty Of color
for popularity Of color-to announce
to the world their individuality" that
they are here, on the map Of the earth,
writes r. w. Ruckstuhl In Art World.
They go either to the anemic n
bloodless, or to the redhot and vulgar,
or to the neutral and leaden, or to the
shocking and caoplonic color-to ere
ate a notoriety bringing sensation. Be
cause they know that the newspaper
and magazine art writers-who need
one sensation per week-will advertise
their work and annex them as fruitful
sources of mutual profit. Such vulgar
color mongers the layman can ignore,
for their fate is settled In advance.
They begin to pass into oblivion as
o as they are born, like will o the
wisps. The very constitution of the
human mind and soul insures that.

WETTING is BAD FOR WATCH
At Times II Is Less Expensive to Put
in New Movement Than to
Clean the Works.

When a person falls overheard or
gets/a ducking in any other way he
at once has trouble with his watch, I'M
less, of course, 1t happens that he be
not wearing it. If he is wise he will
send it at once to a matchmaker. What
the latter can do to 1T depends upon
the extent of the wetting and the
length of time that has elapsed since
the immersion.
The jewelers. Circular says the re-
pairer will take the watch entirely
apart If there be water still noticeable
he will place all the parts In alcohol
and then clean them. II they be dry
he will put all ordinary steel parts In
benzine and all plates, bridges and
brass parts in a solution of alkali and
soap.
A repairer receiving a watch several
days after it's wetting will immerse 1t
1t in coal oil. Then he will decide
whether 1t will be less expensive to
clean the works or to replace them
with a new movement.

Ancient Keys.

1t was formerly thought that keys
were a strictly modern invention, but
among the ruins of Thebes have been
found keys with straight shanks five
inches long and a bar at right angles
with three teeth, thus proving that the
Egyptians were familiar with the prin-
ciples of lock making. AS no locks but
only keys have been found among the
Egyptian ruins it is assumed that the
locks were of wood, only the keys be-
ing metal. The earliest mention of a
key to be taken from the lock occurs
in Judges 1923 :25. This was used to
fasten the door of the summer parlor
Of Eglon, king of Moab. "Ehud went
forth through the porch, and shut the
doors Of the parlor upon him and
locked them. His servants took a key
and opened them" The date referred
to here is about 1886 B. G.

EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low In Higher Forms OF In
telIieence, Tests Show.

II Is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire a certain amount of valua-
BILE education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
saws the Journal of Heredity, that such
children stand very low In all the Nigh
err forms of intelligence, and this might
have been suspected from an examina-
ton of the environment in which they
are brought up. Association with old
err people is one Of the most important
factors In a child's education; but In
the poorer classes the dwellings are
so small that a child must spend most
of his waking hours outside, and no
where does he come in close contact
with many older persons of ability.
No matter how much n may adj
mire the development of modern indus
trial society, he can hardly believe that
IL offers a full and rich environ
ment In which a child may unfold"
If a child had inherited ability (and
many of the children who roam the
streets have not) it could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
of a modern city street which, com
pared with the country, offers little
for a child to do. Much has been said
of the evils of child labor, but under
modern city conditions 1t Is conceiva'
BILE that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

NIKKO TEMPLE RICH IN ART
Great Shrine of the Japanese, Buiit
Centuries Ago, Is the Work OF
Forty Years.

What st. Peters is to Rome, what
Westminster Abbey is to London, what
he Pantheon was to Athens, that is
he temple at NikkO to Japan today.
II is the richest and most perfect ex-
preston of the art of q whole nation
in so far as that art can be gathered
into a single building. The japanese
have beer called a nation of artists,
and in their great temple they have
o n far toward justifying the term.
The temple was built centuries ago
as a setting for the tomb of the Sho-
gun Iyeyasu, perhaps the greatest ruler
Japan has ever known. 1t is the work
of forty years. of u~nnumbered scores
of patient and nameless artists, OF I'M
numbered thousands of forgotten work
men. a work that regarded neither
time nor effort nor cost.
The avenue of stately pines that
leads to the temple is 20 miles long.
Before the building rushes a boiling
river. spanned by two bridges, red and
green. The red bridge is for the mi
kado, the green bridge for common hui
mainly, but the red of the sacred
bridge is the exact tint needed to set
off the green of the pines, the gray of
the water and the brown of the hills.
1t may not be trodden, but its color is
there to complete the picture for the
humblest peasant.
The temple within is a riot of beauty,
with sculpture, mosaic lacquer work,
and beaten brass competing to catch
the appreciative eye. 1t takes many
days to see even hastily all the wealth
of art in this shrine.
Nowhere is the sure instinct of the
builders better shown than in the tomb
itself. Not in the carven and gilded
temple, but withdrawn among the quiet
pines, in a smooth casket of bronze
walled in with stones lie the
ashes of Iyeyasu.

pERSlANS FOND OF SHERBET
Much Time is Devoted to Preparation
Of Beverage, OF Which There Are
Many Varieties.

The great beverage In Persia Is
sherbet. which is plentifully supplied
and of which there are many varieties
from the bowl of water with a
squeeze of lemon to the clear concen-
trated juice of any sort of fruit to
which water is added to dilute IT..
The preparation of sherbet, which Is
done with greatest care, is a very I'M
portant point In so thirsty a country
as Persia, and one to which much time
is devoted. 1t may be either expressed
from the juice of fruit freshly gath
cred or from the preserved extract of
p-omegranates, cherries or lemons,
mixed with sugar and submitted to a
certain degree of heat to preserve
1t for winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drunk Is
called guzangebben; 1t is made from
the honey of the tamarisk tree. This
honey is not the work of the bee, but
the product of a small insect or worm
living In vast numbers under the leaves
of the shrub. During the months OF
August and September the insect is
collected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar and, although not so delicious
as that made from fruit, 1t makes an
excellent temperance beverage. Only
among the rich and fashionable are
glasses used; in all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drunk
from deep wooden spoons carved In

GAS AND ELECTRIC INQUIRY

. On the Recommendation Of the mayor, a commission
COMPOSED Of members of the City council and citizens at
afse has been created for the purpose Of conducting an
Inquiry into the facts relating to prices for gas and cleo
trio service. The step was prompted at this particular
time BY the advance in rates announeed by the Red
River Power company, which suppliesth city with these
utilities, and the Immediate purpose is to- ascertain
whether or not under the existing conditions. the, am
hohnced advance is reasonable and warranted. That in
ltseit IS a sufficient reason for Undertaking the inquiry,
as 1t - Certainly that our people have. information, biased
On lnono'tanie faets. as TO- the JUSTICE of the prices which
they pay for service of this nature. f
But aside from the special reason >that exists for
such an Investigation at this; time, the Investigations Of
the commission should be valuable, in enabling us to
reach conclusions based on solid facts as to the reason
and electric service here. The commission is composed
OF representative men. No man who glancess over the
Ast OF names, of it's members can say that it represents
any party. clique Or faction. There need be no doubt
that its studies will be conducted with the single pur-
pose of ascertaining the facts, andsit lis facts that fair
minded people want. If it develops that under all the

SPRING TO ARMS

The changes have often been rung on the nre-wa
statement made by Air. Bryan that in case of need a
nt1hon lnen would spriAg to arms in the United States
Wnhln twenty four hours ana that on this account all
the russ about preparation was unnecessary. But that
statement y frequently recalled, and will continue to be
recalled as from time to time the public gains informal

We may accept Mt. Hryan's view that plenty of
men would come forward immediately in order to re-

Just as NECESSARY as il she had her transports wtthin

clearly recognized there would be no trouble about the
