Insects Now Have the Pull In Certain
Kinds of Decorating.
Brilliant winged insects are the
fad at present in china decoration,
und the idea of reproducing is a
pleasing variation from the (lower,
figure and symbolic type of decora
tion that has held sway so long a
time. Not only brilliant und gauzy
winged insects appear in these de-
(igns, but. also such little denizens
of the swurd and the small group of
katydids on a Blender tree branch is
the design 'of a vase with shadow
background of olive green. One of
the prettiest designs shows a bar of
music, on which the notes of the fa
miliar erv, “Kuty did, Katy didn’t,”
appear, the words being written be
neath the staff—a pair of katydids
sitting on a twig apparently settling
this disputed question. This design
is used on small pieces such as ash
trays or calendar frames, says the
Brooklyn Jingle.
Grasshoppers arc utilized in some
unique decorations for milk cups
and bread and butter plutes. As
decoration pure and simple, without
any suggestion of association with
the field, as the katydid and grass
hopper, brilliant bugs and winged
insects arc considerably used now
adays in ceramic work. A bowl
shaped vase recently completed
shows a dark clouded blue back
ground over which are 'dragon Hies.
Their wings and bodies are almost
overlapped in a somewhat conven
tional design, which shows up well
against the dark toned background,
the delicate beauty of the dragon
flies’ wing3^appcnring to special ad
vantage on the deep supphire sur
face.
A11 excellent effect is produced by
a design of brilliant bugs upon a
background of grayish blue luster.
Bowl shaped vases decorated in this
way are old and pleasing additions
to the ceramic display of the day.
A GREAT MANJVORSTED.
In an interesting case where Ru
fus Choate and Daniel Webster were
both retained by a Boston shipping
house Mr. Choate examined the wit
nesses. He had before him in the
witness box one of the shipowners,
whom he wished to confuse, and
consequently he began by asking a
long and complex question.
George Francis Train, who tells
the story, says this question wound
all round the ease and straggled
through every street in Boston.
“You say,” asserted Choate, "that
you did so und so, that you went to
such and such a place, after this you
did so and so and then thus and
so.”
But tho man was an Irishman of
perfect nerve and unshaken cool
ness. Mr. Choate went on coiling
up his question and tying knots in
it, and when he hud quite finished
the witness merely looked at him
and said calmly:
“Mr. Choate, will yez be afther
reputing that again?”
The bench and the spectators
roared. Air. Choate was worsted.
Yet he won his case.
Broke Into the Jail.
Second Warden E. A. McPherson
climbed tho penitentiary wall at Sa
lem, Ore., the other night to test
the vigilance of guards. McPher
son’s feat was performed at the risk
of his life. Had lie been discovered
lie' w°idd pcobably have befcn in
stantly shot, lie placed a ludder
against the exterior of the wall,
climbed up, lowered bis ladder into
1 he jailyard and descended. He
went through the prison shops and
as a final touch carried away flic
coat and hat of one of the guards.
It was from this jail that tho fa
mous Tracy escaped last summer,
and it is supposed that tho rifle with
which lie fought bis way out was
taken into the prison over the yard
fence.
Car Etiquette In Cincinnati.
We are told that in Cincinnati the
street car straps are hung so high
that women of average inches can-
rot reach therii. This obliges them
—the women, of course—to hang
o.i to tire scuts or tTie men passen
gers. Of course, the seats can’t ob
ject, but the Cincinnati men nre
very indignant over such a flagrant
disregard for their dignity. They
don’t like to be grabbed by the hair
or yanked around by (he collar. In
'.'act, some of them are disposed to
be so much disgruntled by it that at
times they have thought of getting
up and resigning their seats to the
impertinent women. But they liavo
lmt done it yet.—Clevcluud Plain
Dealer.
Convict!’ Advertisement!.
In a recent issue of the New Or
leans Picayune the following adver
tisements, brief and to the point,
appeared:
I. am applying for n commutation of
acntence. GEORGE THOMPSON.
I am applying for a commutation of
sentence. JOHN BATISTE.
I am applying for a pardon.
JOE BELL.
The explanation is this: These
men are convicts who nre upplying
for pardon, and under a law that
seems to be peculinr to Louisiana
(we never licnrd of the like else
where) they must give notice in
some paper of their intention so
that any person or persons having
cause to oppose or to fuvor the ap
plications mny have an opportunity
to be heard before the pardoning
power-takes action. This is, in our
opinion, a good law. — Richmond
Times-Dispatch.
Radium.
Radium is self luminous, shining
with a bluish light. It, like Roent
gen rays, makes a sensitive screen
phosphorescent. It shows the bones
in the hand and is so vigorous that
it has produced sores on those who
have incautiously carried it about
their persons. Tho radium crnit3
negatively electrified particles with
a velocity in some cases approach
