TWENTY LESSONS IN FRENCH CONVERSATION
(Copyrigh't. 1000, by Seymour Eaten.)
TKE.OREGONIAN'S.HOMESTUDY CIRCLE DIRECTED BY PROFJ SEYMOUR EATON
Jfote. Thee lessons have 'been prepared for
Tr-e Oregonl&n's Home" Study -Circle by Profes
sor Benno Klrschoaura, of Philadelphia- They
are intended primarily for Americana -who pur
pose attending the Paris Exposition. These
lessons will include (1) common French -words
and phrases, (2) asy conversation and (3) elm
pie reading lessons.
LESSON" SO. -XEUVIfiMIS
L.KQOT!.
A Ferr Useful Hints.
. 1. It is advisable that the study should be
carried on by two or three in a circle. "Words
and sentences must first be read slowly and
carefully. Try to make as much use of the
pronanciation jjiven as possible. Make the
foreijra Intonation clearly and naturally.
2. The intonation of the French is quite
different from the English. It has a pecu
liar accent at the end of every word and
phrase. It is a part of the lanjruase, a part
of the culture of voice; it hss a certain
sweetness in it, and we do not say it discour
apinglr. but as a matter of experience, that
very few Americans ever can achieve the
full, perfect pronunciation. Therefore, our
advice to students is- try to pronounce as
correctly as you can and make yourself un
derstood as well ns possible, improving by
degrees, according to the amount of knowl
edge you have of the language.
3. Although these lessons and sentences
may seem to be somewhat Irregular and dis
connected, we have made them so Intention
ally, our aim belu? to keep up the interest
of our students At the same time c give
only such sentence's and phraws as will be
required by those who expect to put them to
a practical use It will bo observed, how
ever, that each lesson lias a certain aim nnd
purpose and also that we try as much as pos
sible to refresh the minds of students by re
peatine combinations and words of which
the learner has already a knowledge, thus
ol viating the necessity of a copious vocabu
lary. French Adjectives.
Fine; beau; bow
Finer; pins beu.
Finest ; le pl-i-s beau.
Pretty, joli. zjo-lee.
Prettier; plusjoli
Prettiest; le plus jolt
Large, big; grand,
Bigcer, larger; plus grand.
Biggest, largest; le plusgrand.
As in English, in French, too. the adjec
tives can be compared. The comparison in
French is done, however, in the following
manner:
(r The Vr" of the English, as Injlner, is
renceicd by the word ju, more, as ,ljha
grmd,,, larger, or mors large
(b) Jf the noun is feminine, the adjective
has an e. as vue phix ijramle nuan a larger
liamt, or a more large hand; oon plooh grand
mang.
() While it is necessary to place tho ad
verb "piV before the adjective to express
superiority, the adverb "moint" mwo-nng;
lti. must precede the adjective, if inferiority
Is to be expressed, as:
A less big man, un molnst-roswhomme;
gro-jium.
A less big woman; une moles grots:
femme; groce .
(ef) In placing 'rt-i"; oh-ssee; as, before
an adjective, equality is expressed, as:
John Is ns big as Peter; Jean est-aui
grand que Pierre.
Mary is as amiable as Jane; Marie
estaussi aim able que Jeanne.
(e) if, la or 7s with either plux or moms Is
always required If the superlative Is to be
expressed, as:
Le plus grand cheval; the largest horse.
Laplusalmable fillc; the most amiable
girL
Les plus beaux tableaux; the finest
pictures; etc
() For adjectives ending in certain let
ters, such as Afurarz; happy; ; !ah;
tired; the same rules must be observed as in
the rules given for nouns.

V PItOCESS EXGUAVIXG.
In the older methods of producing en-
gravings on wood or copper or steel, for 1
really good results the engraver must be
to some extent an artist. An engraving
made entirely by hand has possibilities for

is principally because of this, and because
of the growing desire ror good copies of
artistic things, that the various photo
graphic processes have been developed.
These processes, moreover, are very
rapid. A picture that an engraver would
be weeks in doing by nand can be pro
duced In a few liours. and the photogra
phic, copy will be infinitely better than a
poor ' copy made by hand. The process

used, therefore, which would produce a
plate in which the portions to be printed

The effect of a photographic negative or
a print from such a negative. In which
the tones are produced by different den
sity of deposit, cannot be exactly copied
In punters Ink. The effect Is approxi
mated by the use of a "screen."
The Half-Tone Screen.
This screen consists cf. a great number
of lines ruled upon glass. Usually the
ruling Is such that the space between ad.
jacent lines is of the same width &s each
line, and the lines cress each other at
right angles. More complicated arrange
ments of lines are sometimes used, but
they present little If any advantage. The
ruling Is. of course, done by machinery,
and Is then covered by another glass as
a mechanical protection against Injury.
Such an arrangement of lines produces
curious effects. Look at. a street light
through an umbrella or a handkerchief
and it appears to be spread out in a kind
of checked pattern! This is not exactly
the effect of tho half-tone screen as It is
used In practice, but it is somewhat simi
lar. The fineness of the ruling on the half
tone screen is adjusted In accordance with
the work to be done. A plate which 1;
to be printed with care on special paper
may be made with a fine screen, 150 lines
to the inch, or possibly even finer than
that. The finer the screen the more per
fect the tones which It produces. For
newspaper work, on the other hand, where
the printing must be done without great
care and on coarse paper, a coarse screen
must be used, perhaps not more than 50
or CO lines to the inch. A fine plate would
simply fill up with ink. and none of its
fine gradations of tone show at all.
Tlie Process.
In making the photograph the original,
whatever it may be, is very strongly illu
minated either by arc lights or by sun
light, so that all reflections are avoided.
The grating or half-tone screen is a short
distance in front of the plate. The effect
can be varied by changing the distance;

(Showing gradations from dense shadow to high
light.)
but the distance must not be too great
nor must the plate and screen be in con
tact. The light forming the image, which,
without the screen, would produce an or
dinary negative, bends around the fine
lines of the grating and produces a neg
ative in which there are minute patches
of light or clear spots and of dense de
posit. The light from a very bright point
in the object will bend so completely about
the fine lines of the grating that their
presence Is not evident at all. A less
bright point permits the Intersections of
the grating lines to show as small dots
which may be connected by fine lines, or
may not, according to the brightness.
Still less light shows as small circles, op
posite the openings In the screen, and the
size of these circles depends also upon
the brightness. The cut shows the ap
pearance, very greatly magnified, of a
portion of a print by this process, ine
effect of such an appearance, without
magnification, is a continuous gradation
from dense black to clear white.
When the negative has been obtained In
thl3 way, developed, washed and dried
the film Is placed In contact with a sensi
tized ""plate of copper or zinc the copper
for the finer work under considerable
pressure and exposed to sunlight as in
ordinary photographic printing. After
treatment the copper plate shows an enamel-like
coating at the points, which
are finally to print black, and the spaco
between these points is clear. The edges
of the copper plate are then varnished to
protect them against the action of the
acid, and the plate Js ready to be etched.
This is done by rocking it in a bath of
acid, which eats away tho copper surface
wherever It Is unprotected and leaves the
parts which are covered with the enamel-

"Grcntly Mapnlflcd.
like deposit raised to the original level.
These raised parts will thus take the ink
from the roller and print black. The
plate is removed from the acid occasion
ally, If the etching is long continued, to
test it, and to protect the small raised
points from undercutting by the acid.
The general fault of a half-tone plate
as It comes from the acid bath Is a lack
of vitality or contrast, a slight muddlness
of tone or an abruptness at tne- cages.
This can be remedied in either of two
ways, both of them band work. Further
etching can be carried on In any desired
parts by the use of the acid brush, dimin
ished the size of the minute copper points
and thus clearing up the high lights or
softening tho edges. The second method
is the use of the regular graver's tools,
cutting the surface of the plate in lines
of greater or less regularity, to obtain
tho desired gradations of tone In tho dif
ferent parts. These engraved lines are,
of course, quite evident In the print. This
method In the hands of a skillful engraver
-nHncM the most artistic effects. The
best results are seen on the pages of
magazines of the higher class.

RAILWAY MEN TO RACEUo1oiaclSrTi? ; cocSon
WHIj RIDE IX A.REIAY BICYCLE
CONTEST.
Local Linen Will Be Ilepreacrited
Itcpabllcaa Meeting East
Side Affairs. '
There Is quite a flutter of Interest in the
coming bicycle race of railway men to
come oft on Uie Irvington track May 31.
Wheelmen from the O. R. & ?., North
ern Pacific, Northern Pacific Terminal
and Southern Pacific Companies will
take part. The contest is to be a six-mile
relay race. There will be six men from
each of these companies, and the race
promises to be the hottest that has ever
taken place In Oregon. There are many
strong riders In the employ of the com
panies, and the best of these will be se
lected. In order to pick the best men
from each of te companies, therp will
be a series of tryouts, and the best six
will be the ones selected. Probably about
12 of the strongest and most speedy riders
from each company will first be picked out
for tho tryouts, and the six best will up
hold the company they represent. In
this way the race will bo mad a speedy
one. Eacn man win nae a m:ie, wnen a
fresh rider will take up the Tace. It will
be for blood. In a short time the work
of picking out the racers will be com
menced. Messrs. Younyer, of the South
ern Pacific: Richards, of the Terminal
Company; and McDonald, of the Northern
Pacific, havo been appointed to select the
track. It is expected that the Irvington
Tacetrack will be secured for the race.
On any of the county roads near Portland
it would be very difficult to secure a place
that could be kept clear of the crowds
and that would be wide enough for six
riders. Road races have not proved very
satisfactory, and this event could be
pulled off at the racetrack in good shape.
The track there can ie kept free from
the crowd. The race will bring to the
from some of the crack riders who are
employes In these companies. Care will
be taken that all who take part are genu
ine railway employes. As the railway
men have the faculty of making whatever
they undertake a success, this relay Tace
will 110 doubt go all right.
Archbishop Chrlntle Open the Fair.
The fair of the Church of tho Immacu-'
late Heart of Mary, of the East S.lde, was
opened last night In Gomez' Hall. Rus
sell street, with appropriate ceremonies.
There was a great outpouring of the mem
bers and friends of the church. The hall
had been elegantly decorated with red.
white and blue bunting meeting in the cen
ter or the celling, while there was a pro
fuse dlsnlav of evergreen among the at
tractive booths. All articles were gay
displayed, and the booths were served by
handsome young women.
When Archbishop Christie and Mayor
Storey arrived the hall was already well
filled, and tbe two were greeted with
much applause. Father Charles O'Reilly,
pastor of the parish, mounted the plat
form and called for order. He then Intro
duced Archbishop Christie, who came for
ward and delivered an eloquent aaaress.
He congratulated the members of the par
ish on their efforts to build up its interest,
and wished them every possible success.
He said that efforts to build up the par
ish always strengthened the whole church
and promoted the Interests of the city.
"The great mother church," said the
Archbl3hop, "has always been the con
servator of education and Christianity,
and these fairs to promote and strengthen
the parish contribute to the cause of edu
cation and true Christianity. The Arch
bishop expressed the hope that the work
that had thus been undertaken would re
sult In great success, and he had no doubt
that it would. Following the remarks of
the Archbishop, a bagpipe selection was
given by Professor Moon, and then Mayor
Storey was introduced and talked briefly.
In which he commenaea me worn 01 uu
parish, and said that anything that pro
motes the Christian religion builds up the
city. After these addresses the fair was
formally opened. In the course of the
evening there were other exercises. Judge
Hennessy gave a solo, Mrs. Delia Ladd
recited. Miss Catherine Covach rendered
a vocal solo, Miss Elizabeth HoDen gave
a piano solo. Master Eddie Steel a solo.
Fancy- clubswlnging by a class of young
women In costume, closing the pro
gramme, was very pleasing.
Two Republican Meetings.
At a business meeting of the Multnomah
Union Republican Club last evening it was
decided to hold a general rally at the
club's quarters, corner Grand avenue and
East Washington street, next Saturday
night. On that occasion all the Republi

Mt. Scott and Johnson Crcelc Path.
The bicycle path commenced on the
crossroad southward from the Section Line
road, from Multnomah Hall, has been
completed to the public hall at Lents,
Mount Scott, and southward from the
Foster road to the Clackamas County
line. A path was asked for also from
Lents to Myer's mill, but It could not be
built at present. The path to Mount
Scott is a great advantage for that dis
trict. A great many people go to John
son creek on bicycles, and hence the
branch that follows the road south to the
county line will prove a great convenience.
It reaches Harmony and a large settle
ment, is a good route to Oregon City, and
there are few hills to climb on the way.
If Clackamas County will build a path to
connect with this one at the county line
SkinD
When the excretory organs fail to carry off the waste material from the system, there is an abnor
mal accumulation of effete matter which poisons and clogs the blood, and it becomes sour and acid.
This poison is carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, and upon reaching
the skin surface there is a redness and eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema,
Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas and many other skin troubles, more or less severe.
While the skin is the seat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions ana
powders, may allay the itching and burning, but never cure, no matter how long and faithluliy
continued, and the condition is often aggravated and skin permanently injured by their use.
The disease Is more
The many preparations of arsenic,
S. S. S., nature's own remedy, made of roots, herbs and barks, of great purifying and tonical properties, qpcldy and
effectuallv cures blood and skin troubles, because it goes direct to the root of the disease and stimulates and restores normal,
healthy action to the different organs, cleanses and enriches the blood, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous secretions.
S. S. S. cures permanently because it leaves none of the original poison to refennent in the blood and cause a fresh attack.
