It will be seen that holding the instrument low produces fine lines; and by elevating tbe instrument broad effects are produced, and the artist can go from line to shadow without «topping, as seen in Fig. 2. Supposing tbe instrument moved from A to B, following lotted lines, the effect would be as seen on the paper from A to C. Everything about the operation of the air irush becomes perfectly automatic after a little practice, and the artist will handle it with the same ease that he now handles tho >ru»h or stump. In a word, it puts into tbe irtist’s bands at once many years of practical nanipulation, which few would care to invest tbe large amount of time and study to attain. It does not, however, imply the entire aban- lonment of any ot the methods now in use. It may be well to add that the committee on science and the art«, constituted by the Franklin institute of the state of Pennsyl vania, after due examination of tbe air brush, regard it as deserving of the warmest ■ommendation.

Horn plug Games Put to Ono Side—A Bit of Good Advice.^. Children's parties of late years have under gone a great changa Formerly, when young people were assembled together, it was thought sufficient to clear a large room and let them indulge in the old fashioned games of blind mans buff, postoffice, family coach, bunt tbe slipper, magic music, musical chairs and such like merry and romping games, which, with a good tea and Sir Roger de Co ver ley danced afterward, was supposed to form a delightful entertainment. But now all this is changed, romping games are put on one side. The little boys and girls of tbe .present day are too well dressed to risk tearing their pretty clothes. Children's parties are miniature copies of those of older people, with the exception that some form is adopted, either a Christmas tree, a bran pie, or any other vehicle for the distribution of presents, that each little one may have some thing to take home. When all the little guests are arrived tbey are generally enter tained first with either a Punch and Judy show, marionettes, a children's play, magic lantern or some quiet amusement of that sort. After tea dancing is resorted to, and the Christmas tree or its substitute ends the evening. Children like novelty, and any new form of entertainment is eagerly welcomed. Parties for young people should never be lengthy affairs, as it is impossible to keep them amused and happy for long together, and early hours are most desirable, after noon parties from 8 till 7 or 4 to 8 being far more sensible than later hours, when the eagerness of expectation tires a child before the fun commences. Refreshments at a juvenile party should be simple, but a num ber of bonbons and crackers should always be provided. It is a mistake to give children elaborate suppers before they leave to go home, often disagreeing with them and mak ing them ill tbe next day. Lemonade and cakes and sandwiches are quite sufficient and far better tor them. There is no prettier sight than to see a number of prettily dressed children assem bled together, and of late it has been much tbe fashion to adopt fancy dresses at juvenile parties, when tbe little ones wear much the same costumes, on a smaller scale, as are adopted by older people, and much amuse ment is caused by inspecting the various dresses and characters represented. Juve nile parties have a good tendency in forming children’s manners, causing them to be po lite to each other and to take an interest in each other’s pleasures and in affairs beyond their own family circle.—London Queen. *2» I»« »ear........ .-*« mouths...

The Hunting Hawks of Persia. Hawking Is still an expensive sport, and affords relatively little In the way of practi cal results. The breeding and training of hawks b the business of a certain class of men who earn a precarious livelihood In that way As itinerant tradesmen they wander through the streets of the larger towns seek ing whom they may sell one of their falcons to. There must lie quite a number of these men, I should guess about 1.000 in the whole country But when they make a sale, they can afford to live off the proceeds of it for a year at least, for, with their frugal habits, 50 to 100 toman '*75 to »I5O> are enough to keep a large family on for that length of time, and that Is what a well trained hawk costs. Birds are sold occasionally as high as 300 toman. These hawkers will stand at the entrance to a famous mosque or near the king’s or governor’s palace, having their bird (for they rarely have more than one to sell) on their fist, and thus offering him for sale to all passers by They will thus often watch and wait for weeks, and when they finally become convinced that they cannot sell them there, they will wander off to some other town. - Wolf Von Bchlerbrand in Co* mopolitan. __________________ Obltnary Poetry to Order.

I went to school until I was 18, and since then—that’s twelve years ago—I have been successively a lawyer's clerk, bookkeeper iu an importing house, clerk in a dry gcsxls store, driver of a delivery wagon, car driver, elevated railroad guard, waiter and poddlor. It’s four years since I found my true vocation, and I’ve done pretty well.” “Does a good peddler make much monoyf" tbe reporter asked guardedly. “Well, that depend* Now, I average *30 a week. Some, a few, make more, but the majority make less. Anybody that's a good peddler, though, should be able to make »25 a week without auy trouble and be able to go out on Sunday for a good time.” “What characteristic» must a good peddler possess!" “Oh, a great many. Belf-confldence, or ’cheek,’ as it is called, is the most essential. Without it no peddlor ever peddled with success. But too much of it is even more fatal for his prosperity, lor iu addition to failure he often gets a broken head. No, he must have self-confidence, but uot too much —just enough, you know. Then he must be a character reader—know just to whom ho can sell and whom not, who will stand a stiff price and who must be offered the goods at cut rata* “To be a good peddler you must also have a firm, yet gentle disposition. You must al low nothing to deter you when you see a per son to whom you feel you cau sell. No mat ter what he or she says, you must persevere. This is where the firmness comes in. Tho gentleness is necessary, so that you may, un der no circumstances, lose your temper. It doesn’t pay. If the door is slammed in your face, swearing will only make matters worse. Tbe people next door will only laugh at you. No, you must preserve a dignified silence and smile indulgently as you turn away. Then you can sell to tlie neighbor. Her sym pathy will be aroused, and by patronizing you she thinks she can administer a rebuke to the unmannerly woman next door and shine by comparison.” UP STAIRS AND DOWN. “Is peddling hard workF “Trudgingup stairsand down with this as sortment of goods isn’t as much fun as play ing poker, but there is more money in it for the average person; and, besides, it's no harder than many other things—soiling dry goods, for instance.

There are two things I never saw in my life—a dead mule and a doad peddler. Sometimes I think that when mules and peddlers die Old Nick carries ’em off bodily as choice bits of ‘cussednes*’ ” “Are all poddlers full of ways that load to Old Nick!” This wm rather a loading question, but the peddler met it unblushingly. “Well, generally,” he replied, nonchalantly. "Some save their money, but very few. I generally turn up with a big bead aud empty pocket* on Monday morning.” "Then how do you manage to buy your goods!

A Prisoner’« Little Joke. "I had a funny experience once,” said a young farmer. “When a boy, I confess, I was pretty green. I lived with my father upon a farm near Columbus, and used to haul wood into the city and soli it for him. One day I had entered town with my cus tomary load, when, as I passed a large building, some oue ¡ioked his bead partly out of a window and asked ii the ’wood wm for sale.'

Once upon a time a Harvard professor, wbils walking on a highway near Boston, halted to look at a gang of laborers plying their picks and shovels In repairing a rail- road. He pricked up his ears when he heard the gang jahliering Latin like old Romans. Ho introduced himself in the same tongue, when he found that the gang were Polanders, graduates of ths University of Warsaw, who, baring found out that they were about to tie arrested by ths Russian authorities on tbs charge of conspiracy against the czar, fled to thb country, where, being in a penniless state, they were glad to get employment as laborers on the railroad. Th* Harvard pro fessor interested himself In the cases of sev eral of the laborers, to their advantage, and even found a professor's chair for a bluo blooded memlier of the gang. The Incident was narrated the other day, when a reporter told of interviewing a group of three street pavers uptown, every one of whom was able to converse with him In five modern lan guages.
