of rubber tubing, ft naphtha bottle pro

where there Is light or the smallest
anark of fire, aa it ia very Inflammable.
Tbe alcohol also should be handled
with care. To do a variety of poker
work an outfit of several points ia
necessary, but it l well for the begin
tier to bave at least two, aa illustrated
In Flu, c and d. The first of these, c,
la the more important, aa with It both
outllntnir and shading can be done,
but the second Is better for back
grounds.
He fore attempting a design tbe be
ginner should practice on smooth
nine board or a piece of wbltewood,
which is better, aa tbe finer grain makes
practice easier. To light the point put
some cotton wool In the naphtha bottle
and fill tbe bottle about one-third full
of naphtha. Connect the bottle with
tbe cork handle and with the bulb by
tbe rubber tubing, hold the point la
tbe flame of the spirit tamp until It la
thoroughly lies ted and blow gently, by
pressing the bulb until tbe point be
comes redbot Tbe point may now be
withdrawn from the flame, and lta
beat can be kept up and regulated by
tlie pressure on the bulb, which forces
tbe vapor of the naphtha through the
tubing Into the point, where It burns.
The lamp may now be extinguished.
The object of the cotton .wool In the
bottle la to gtve more evaporating sur
face. Fig. a shows the apparatus.
Sometime a foot bellows (Fig. b) la
used Instead of the hand bellows. Thla
la less tiresome and gives the oper
ator both hands for work.
Now grasp the cork handle, not too
near the hot point, and try to make
true, even lines on the pine . board.
This at first la very difficult, for an In
stont's delay tn the touch of the point
will make ft bole or deep dot In the
wood, and the line will resemble ft
smudge. To overcome thla first trou
ble bring the point upon the board
with ft sweep off the hand and lift It
off In the an me way. Keep this a weep
aa even and light aa possible until you
have a firm, clean line. The begtnned
will succeed more easily If the point

GRAIN PIT PERILS LIFE
Araurtiut of th Aorta. Ia tbe Penalty
of Indentation.
The same disease that carried off
rhllip D. Armour before hia time
threatens thoso who go down Into the
trading pita and stock marta to buy
and sell where tbe changes of a few
points In the quotations may mean
poverty or millions, says the Chicago
Chronicle. Aneurism of the heart-
more accurately aneurism of the aor
tas of tbe heart la the disease that
killed the wealthy packer. It la caus
ed largely by undue excitement, auch
aa la hrnuffht on bv the scenes of the
Board of Trade. For brief perloda ex-
traordlnary demands are made on the
ora-an that propels blood through the
organ that propels
body.
This was the gist of a statement
made by a renowned Chicago physi
cian. He discussed the prevalence,
f 9 AS
unknown to tbe lay world, of an afflic
tion often - erroneously classed aa
"heart failure." Not tbe heart Itself,
he said, but tlie aortas through which
tbe blood is drawn or expelled display
tbe real weakness. ;
Aneurism of tbe heart Is the abnor
mal awelllng of tbe aortas resulting
from the great demands suddenly made
titKra thein during momenta of excite
ment. Tlie tlnsuee are unable to with
stand the pressure of the blood preen
ing. Terhapa there h also a little nat
ural weakness, Tbe tissues yield and
when tbe next demand Is made upon
tbem tbey are still weaker. The en
largement of tbe blood vessels contin
ue day by day until at last tbe strain
becomes too great and they give way.
"Every man whose business or pro
fession forces upon blm momenta of
great excitement," said the doctor, "la
likely candidate for this disease. One
who has merely watched the opera
tion In tbe wheat pit or has spent an
hour in the gallery of tbe iew York
Stock Exchange must have felt bla
own blood flow quicker. How much
fiercer, then, must bave been thetbrob-
blncs of tbe hearts of those partici
pating In the battles to aave or dou
ble their fortunea!
"Such men aa these are the ones of
whom we dally read aa victims of
heart failure.' That la a compreheo
alve term which In many cases refers
to aneurism of the aortas, usually the
ascending one, through which the blood
Is expelled. Where there la a alight
weaknet s, resulting possioly from sick
ness, tbe blood vessels will swell In
their effort to avoid the pressure. It
la as if an engine were pumping Into
a pipe whose exit waa Inadequate for
the occasion.
"Allowlng for ft little exaggeration,
this disease might almost be spoken
of aa American, for the conditlona In
tbla country offer a most tempting field
for Its sproad. Nowhere else in tbe
world are men and women subject to
auch dally spasms of violent energy,

lt would not be accurate to state
that the men who spend a few mo
menta or hours each day In the excite
ments of grain or stock speculation
monopolise the perils of . this disease.

rounds calls Into play every resource

WHAT IS A THEATER TICKET ?
A Qnettloa tbat m Waablntrtoit Coart
Haa Paaa 1 Upon,
little attention haa been paid to ft
nxxwtlv decided at Waahlneton
theater and attended i performance.
During the evening the manager re
quested the negro to relinquish hie
place and leave the theater, offering
him the money that had been paid for
tbe ticket: "Thla waa refused and tbe
negro waa ejected. A suit for dam
ages resulted. The plaintiff in tbla cose
did not take action under the civil
right law, and only set forth his al
leged rights aa a citizen to occupy a
place in a theater upon payment of tbe
usual fee. Tbe defense took the ground
that a ticket for a reserved seat la mere
ly a UeeiMKt revokable at the will of the
manager In whose theater it ie sold
upon a return of lta price.
This contention, Which la generally
beld by managers and in many eases
put Into words on tbe tickets sold, did
not stand In court where It waa de
clared that a ticket-holder of a reserved
seat In a theater haa rights similar to
those of a lessee for a specified term,
subject only to the- manager's police
power to enforce order and maintain
decency on his premises. , Going fur
ther than this, the trial court cited an
opinion that prevails tn tbe United
States Supreme Court to tbe effect that
a manager of a place of amusement to
which the public Is Invited to come on
payment for places la not a private en
terprise owing no duty to Its patrons,
but a place "clothed with a public In
terest because used in a manner to
make it of public consequence and to
affect the community at large." This
disposes effectively of the Idea that has
come to prevail among certain manag
ers that the operation of a theater la
a "private business." Dramatic Mir

Horace Greeley's Prodigality.
Horace Greeley was lavish In his

monished on the subject by even his

of dollars to a scapegrace son of Com
modore Vanderbllt and, when Vander-
bllt appealed to him to stop It, Greeley
curtly, closed the conversation by say
ing he did not expect the commodore to
pay the loan. .
In one of the many conversations 1
had with him In his dingy office in the
old Tribune Building, I ventured to
suggest that he waa a more generous
giver than his means justified, to which
he answered: "Well, I guess that's so,

' Perhaps in no este where stomach
trouble was tbe ailment has the effi
ciency of a popular remedy been eo
t boron ably demonstrated as tn tbe cse
of W. E. Matbis, a prominent druggist
of Eldorado, 111. The story as told by
Mr. Matbis isaa follows:
"In tbe spring of 1894 I had very
aerions case of indigestion. My atom
ch commenced to give me great trouble,
and, while I knew tbe natare of tbe
pain, 1 did not at first use tbe proper
precaution. For some time I did not
pay any attention, but it gradually
grew worse, when 1 consulted phy
sician, who prescribed for me. I used
his medicine according to instructions.
1 began' to experience nervous spells,
became subject to congestion of the
stomach, and considered myself tn a
precarious condition. The physician's
medicine and other remedies I tried
failed to benefit me.
"One day a friend urged me to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lor Pale Peo
ple. I considered it a useless experi
ment, but as 1 had tried everything
else, I agreed to take tbem. That waa
three and a half years ago. When I
had used three boxes I could note very
plainly tbe change for tbe better.
When I had used the seventh box I
waa cured.
"Tlie pills have not only cured the
indigestion, but tney have also cured
I my nervousness, my blood is in perfect
condition, snd tbey have brought my
weight from 140 pounds at tbe com
mencement of tbe stomach trouble to
180 at present.
