“Tesla’s Glow” in England.
Tesla’s experiments with high fre-
quency currents before the Royal insti-
tution have laid such hold on the imagi-
nation of th® English, who, as Tesla
says in a recent letter to a friend in New
York, “are the most enthusiastic people
in the world in scientific matters,” that
crowds flock daily to the Crystal Palace
to see the high pressure demonstrations
given at the electrical exhibition. Many
people find it hard to believe, without
actually seeing it, that a tube carried in
the hand, without any wire connection
whatever, will fill a room with beautiful
light and high pressure discharges with
their dazzling and exquisite effects of
color and light, and the illumination of
wireless vacuum tubes promises to be
indispensable at any afternoon party.—

Mr. Matsuo’s Big Kite.
Jumatsu Matsuo, a native of Nagasa-
ki, Japan, now residing on Rochelle
avenue, Wissahickon, has built an en-
ormous kite, shaped like an owl, which
he intends flying from the hillside on
Manayunk avenue. The kite is made of
split bamboo frames, covered with rice
paper, and requires a tail forty yards
long to steady the aerial monster. He
has two miles of string an eighth of an
inch thick to hold the kite. After the
kite has reached the height required
he will send up on the string several
mechanical objects to within a yard of
the kite, which will again return to the
ground. If the owl proves a success he
intends on the Fourth of July to have
one made like a ship, without tail or
string, using gas balloons attached to
each mast, and when at a certain height
the ship will leave the balloons and
float gracefully in space.—Philadelphia

broke up a religious meeting at Sanger-
ville because the exposition of the Gos-
pel on that occasion was not according
to their ideas, and a day or two later at
a funeral, when the officiating clergy-
man remarked that the deceased was a
good woman and was then in heaven,
one of the brothers jumped up and de-
clared that she had gone in an entirely
different direction. That was the last
straw, and the evangelists will suffer
sixty days of martyrdom in a place
where more attention is paid to the
making of brooms than to theology.—

Bloods Help Fishermen.
The recent high water at Marion, O.,
and vicinity has afforded the fish in the
bigger streams a good opportunity to
ascend the smaller, and they are found
in abundance, and with little effort can
be caught with hook or hand. Catfish
of all sizes are found almost as numer-
ous as the English sparrow and are
caught with ease; also carp weighing
five and six pounds are found in the
'‘Whetstone river in that county. Along
the smaller streams and in ditches bas-
ketfuls of various kinds are reported to
i have been caught.

kicked, but jest giv’ up our stuff like
lambs.
“After the kid hed finished, he took
the sack outside, ’n that’s the last we
ever seed o’ him. Then the parson he
sez: ‘ ’N now, gents, I must say adoo, ea
I must be a travelin, for 1 hev anothei
meetin to attend this eve’. 1 want tc
say tho’ afore I go thet you’re the orner
iest gang of--fools 1 ever played
for suckers. A few friends of mine hev
taken the liberty, while yer’ve been tc
meetin this blessed Chris’mus day, uv
goin through yer cabins ’n diggin up yei
little caches uv dust ’n other val’ables
Yer stock hez all been stampeded, ’n yei
guns yer’ll find somewhar at the bottom
of the crick. My friend at the door will
hold yer level while I walk out, ’n we
will then keep yer quiet fer a few min
utes longer through ther winder jest sc
’s we can git a nice cumf’table start;’ T
so they did. What c’u’d we do? The
parson walked out, grinning all ovei
himself, ’n he ’n his pals they nailed ujt
the door ’n the winders (thar wuz only
two), ’n very soon after they hed finished
we heerd the clatter o’ huffs ’n knowed
they wuz gone.
“I must draw a veil over the rest of
that day’s proceeding, stranger. The
langwidge used by ther boys wuz toe
awful to repeat, but ’twas jest ez this
parson sed, when we got out o’ thet
meetin house we found every animal on
the location gone, ’n the only arms left
wuz knives ’n clubs, yet we’d hev gone
after ’em with nothin but our hands,
but we couldn’t follow afoot. How
much did they get? I don’t rightly
know, but not fur from fifty thousand.
The hull camp wuz stone broke, all excep'
Ah Foo, ’n he wuz the only one uv us aS
hed sense enuff not to tell thet durned
parson whar he cached his stuff. Pete
’n Five Ace wuz so everlast hurt at the
hull biznus that they shut up the Bird
o’ Prey, borrowed Ah Foo’s sack ’n left
for the bay to try ’n find thet parson,
but they never did find him, ’n nc
one ever heard uv him again.”—Cali-

Once Wealthy.
A third of a century ago Bob Gridley
of this place was probably the best
known and one of the richest gamblers
in the United States. He conducted a
place for years before John Morrissey
came to the front. Bob was character-
ized as an “honest gambler,” a scarce
article in the world of chance today,
and it was a common saying that “Bob
Gridley’s word is good for $50,000.” As
the years thinned his locks and bent his
form his luck changed and false friends
assisted in depleting his exchequer.
Step by step he descended the financial
ladder, and his continued misfortune
soured him to the pessimistic extent that
he believed everybody was against him.
Reverses drove him out of gambling and
the speculating fraternity soon looked
upon him as a “has been.”
With the small remnant of his fortune
he established trout ponds and sought
to obtain an honest livelihood. His wife
died and his family became scattered.
Two or three years ago he disposed of
his ponds at a loss and established new
ones a short distance north of the town.
Adversity continued on his trail. The
second investment cost him $11,000 and
his last penny. In a few days a mort-
gage foreclosure will wipe even this out
and leave him comparatively penniless,
friendless and abandoned at the totter-
ing age of eighty years. The present
generation has forgotten old Bob Grid-
ley. He smokes his pipe in his rural
chimney corner, and, while a stray tear
occasionally trickles down his wrinkled
face, he wonders how soon he will be
compelled to seek the refuge of the Sara-
toga county poorhouse.—Saratoga Cor.

Warnings for Writers.
The Society of Authors in England
has issued the following warnings, which
are timely:
Never sign any agreement of which
the alleged cost of production forms an
integral part until you have proved the
figures.
Never enter into any correspondence
with publishers (especially with those
who advertise for manuscripts) who
are not recommended by experienced
friends.
Never, on any account whatever, bind
yourself down for future work to any
one.
Never accept any proposal of royalty
until you have ascertained exactly what
the agreement gives to the author and
what to the publisher.
Never accept without advice any pe-
cuniary risk or responsibility whatever.
Never, when a manuscript has been
refused by respectable houses, pay
others, whatever promises they may put
forward, for the production of the work.
Never, without advice, sign a receipt
which gives away copyright.
Never forget that publishing is a busi-
ness like any other business, totally un-
connected with philanthropy, charity or
pure love of literature. You have to
do with business men.

o’ me. Pete said he was a high toned
Christian gentleman himself, hed been
born ’n raised a Christian ’n was a senior
church warden to boot, ’n that he’d
make a Christian of Ah Foo or spoil a
Chinaman.
“Waal, stranger, things run along
nice ’n smooth fer a couple uv months er
so till Chris’mus comes nigh. The boys
hed been a-keepin mighty straight; there
wasn’ a man in camp that drunked
more’n wuz hullsome fer him; there
hedn’t bin a shootin scrap fer weeks.
Pete sed things wuz gittin so allfired
ca’am ’n peaceful that he wouldn’t be at
all surprised to git up sum fine day ’n
find Ah Foo with wings ’n feathers on
his legs like a Bramah hen. Nary a man
packed a gun, ’n when a gent ’nd forgit
’n drop a cuss word he’d beg parding.
The parson was thick with all the boys.
He writ letters for us, advised us about
all our biznus,’n knew all about every-
body’s affairs. Lots uv ’em gave him
their dust sack to keep fer ’em, ’n he
knowed where every man hed his
cached.
“Along jest afore Chris’mas cum Pete
called a meetin uv the deacons ’n church
wardens down to his place, ’n after the
sexton (Ah Foo) hed brought in a round
of drinks he said: ‘Gents, ez chairman
exofficer in this yer layout I move that
we give the parson a little present fer
Chris’mus. Yer know he won’t take a
durn cent from us, ’n never has. Uv
course he has taken a few thousand
from time to time to send to orfings ’n
things uv that kind, but not a red for
hisself or pard, ’n I move that we make
him a little present on Chris’mus day,
’n it needn’t be so--little either.
Gents in favor ’ll say so ’n gents wot
ain’t kin keep mum. Carried, ’n that
settles it. Five Ace ’n rue’ll take in con-
tributions, ’n we won’t take any less
than fifty cases.’
“That wuz two days afore Chris’mus
day, ’n when it cum Pete ’n Five Ace
hed about five thousand in dust ’n nug-
gets fer the parson’s present. Pete as-
sessed Ah Foo a month’s pay, ’n he
kicked hard accordin, but ’twer’n’t no
use.
“The day was bright ’n clear, ’n at
’leven o’clock every man in camp wuz at
church. The little buildin looked mighty
tasty—all fixed off with pine tassels ’n
red berries we'd got in the woods, ’n
every man wuz dressed out in his
best duds. At ’leven exact the par-
son ’n the kid, who hed bin standin at
the door shakin hands ’n wishin every-
body what cum in Merry Chris’mus,
cum in ’n took their seats on the plat-
form. Pete ’n Five Ace ’n Bill Jones ’n
Alabam ’n me sot on a bench jest in
front o’ the platform. We wuz all
togged out in our best fixin’s, ’n Pete ’n
Five Ace they sported diamons till yer
couldn’t rest. Waal, ez usual, the per-
ceedin’s opened up with er prayer from
the parson, ’n then we hed singin, ’n it
seemed ter me ez if I never hed heerd
sich singin in my life afore ez thet kid
let out o’ him thet day.
“Then the parson he started in ter
jaw, ’n 1 must ellow he giv us a great
discourse. I never see him so long
winded afore, tho’, ’n Pete was begin-
nin’ to get mighty restless ’n oneasy,
when all uv a suddint we heerd the
door open ’n shet quick ’n sharp, ’n
every one turned around to find a great
big black bearded cuss at the door a
coverin the hull gang uv us with a
double bar’led shotgun, ’n jest a stand-
in thar cool ’n silent. ‘Face around
here, yer----fools,’ yelled some-
body in a sharp, quick, biznus meanin
v’ice, ’n all hands faced around to find
the parson holding ’em up wi^a another
shotgun—own brother to the one the
other cuss hed.
“ T don’t want a word out er yer,’ he
sed. ‘Yer see my game now, don’t yer:
Thar ain’t a gun in the house ’cept the
ones you see, ’n if any gent makes any
_ _____row in this yer meetin I’ll fill his hide so
‘Yes, We “ Will : plum frill o’ holes’t won’t hold his bones.
’n send us to Sunday school, ’n stand ’ The kid started out with a gunnysack,
at the door to watch us down street ’n : n went through the very last man in
call us back to ast if we were sure we ^lie crowd. He took everything, even
had our clean pocket handkerchur, ’n I to the rings on our fingers. The parson
tell yer, mister, thar wuzn’t a man with '
dry eyes in the crowd when he’d finished.
That young feller had a v’ice like a
angel. Pete he sed it wuz a tenner v’ice,
but Five Ace offered to bet him a hun-
dred to fifty it wuz more like a fifteener
or a twenty. Pete told Five Ace he wuz
a---old fool ’n didn’t know what he
wuz talkin about.
“Well, things run along for about a
week, ’n one day Pete come to me and
sez: ‘Look here, Ralters, this yer camp
ain’t no jay camp, ’n we’ve got to hev a
church fer the parson. He’s a jim dandy,
and won’t ask for nothing. He’d jest
natchelly go on prayin and preachin ’n
tryin to save a couple of whisky soaked
souls like yourn ’n Bill Jones’, which
ain’t wuth powder to blow ’em to---,
’n you’d let him go doin it in that old
shack of Sal’s ’n never make a move.
Now I’m goin to rustle ’round ’n dig up
dust enuff from the boys, and we’ll jest
build him a meetin house as’ll be a
credit to the camp;’ ’n in a few days the
boys hed a good log meetin house built,
floored ’n benches in it ’n everythin.
“The parson was tickled most to
death. Next they built him a house, ’n
he ’n his pardner moved into it. Then
Pete said the gals must go; sed it wuz a
dead, rank, snide game to work on the
parson ter hev to go down street ’n be
guyed by them hussies (’n they did guy
him awful sometimes, too); so the gals
they went. Then Pete sed the church
hed to be properly organized; hed to
hev deacons ’n church wardens ’n sex-
tons ’n things; so old Bill Jones ’n Ala-
bam wuz made deacons, ’n Pete ’n
Five Ace was church wardens.
“In a month every last man in camp
wuz worryin ’bout his future state. Old
Bill Jones came into meetin one night
with his face ’n hands washed ’n an old
black suit on, ’n sot down on the anx-
ious bench ’n ast to be prayed fer.
The parson knelt down ’n put his arm
around him, ’n how he did pray. Be-
fore he got through Lucky Barnes, Ala-
bam ’n me avuz on the bench too, ’n
Pete shoved his Chinaman up the aisle
by the collar ’n sot him down ’longside

The Painters Pretty Generally Agree
That One Should Buy the Paintings
Which Please Him—Judgment Is Ca-
pable of Cultivation and Will Improve.
“How do people buy pictures?” Colin
Campbell Cooper repeated. “Well, I
suppose the majority of collectors con-
sult the advice of a dealer or some ar-
tist, and yet there are those, not pre-
tentious connoisseurs, either, that know
a good thing when they see it, and
evince unusual wisdom in their pur-
chases. To some, however, self reliance
in investing on a large scale in paint-
ings has proved rather a disastrous ex-
periment. The other day a collection
made by a man thirty or forty years
ago was sold. There was hardly half a
dozen good things in it, simply because
he bought and he did not know what he
was getting.
“Art in this country is gradually wak-
ing up. Perhaps the Centennial might
be called the American Renaissance.
We know infinitely more about art than
our grandparents did, and with oppor-
tunities increasing from year to year it
is fail’ to suppose our children will show
a still more marked improvement in
taste. Greater facilities for traveling
have done much to bring about a change
in our little world, and the tendency of
our art is rather toward the cosmopoli-
tan than provincial. Naturally, time is
required to educate the public taste
along artistic lines.
“I think people will buy more pictures
when they understand painting is not an
accomplishment merely a pleasure to
the eye, but that it is a part of educa-
tion, of civilization. It will require
time to realize this. Exhibitions are
visited and the majority like to look at
pictures with an admiration rather
ephemeral. When the picture is out of
sight the impression is gone. With a
general diffusion of art paintings will
be bought not solely because they ap-
peal to the senses, to personality, but
for their artistic qualities; not simply
because the subject illustrated is rather
a pretty idea, but because the work is
technically a good art production.”
Stephen Ferris said: ‘ ‘The world is full
of good pictures to be bought for rea-
sonable prices, but unfortunately many
thousands of dollars, many fortunes, are
spent for nonsense, while good work re-
mains unsought and unbought. Com-
mon sense is happy capital in picture
buying as in any other business. One
can hardly provide a set number of rules
to be observed in buying. Many books
have been written on military science,
yet the world has seen comparatively
few fine generals. Judgment rules the
world, and in picture buying one person
is more successful than another because
a spirit of superior intelligence dictates
his purchases.”
Thomas Eakins would like to have
people buy pictures that please them
and appeal to their taste. “The major-
ity are afraid to buy what they like;
they must have some one else’s advice.
Well, if they start with bad art, per-
haps before long they will come to the
good. Let people buy what they want.”
“I have not thought much about buy-
ing pictures,” said Mr.Frederick W augh.
“We artists are more chiefly concerned
in trying to sell them. It is the privi-
lege of the artist to paint pictures which
appeal to people; which theyunderstand
and want to have for their own. But
he should have a high standard, and he
cannot succeed if he lower it to cater to
the popular taste. He is fortunate if in
working out his ideas he pleases the
public and yet does not lose his inde-
pendence nor forfeit his originality.
His work may be appreciated by large
numbers, but it is always certain that
some few will recognize his endeavor
and will want to buy it.
“In the Old World art is accessible to
all. The Luxembourg and the Louvre
are filled permanently with the master-
pieces of all ages, the best that have
been done. There, too, the spirit of
union is strong among artists. They
gather together and talk of everything
pertaining to the art world, consequent-
ly they live entirely in a congenial cli-
mate and they grow and develop in an
essentially art atmosphere. Impression-
ism? Yes, this is the great word nowa-
days. Many have an idea that it is a
synonym for vaguely treated and par-
tially unfinished pictures. Impression-
ism claims to record facts as observed
by the artist. Sincerity to nature is
its aim. 'After all, there is nothing
so beautiful as truth, and the nearer
we get to it, as we find it in nature, the
better artists we are.”
“Many Americans buy pictures,” Mr.
F. de B. Richards responded, “because
they have accumulated money, and
pictures are the proper thing to have.
Generally they know very little about lanaed in Bangor jail. On May 20 they
it, and a dealer does the work for them. _ Q
If people purchase pictures to flatter
their vanity, let them spend big sums
and buy high priced pictures. If they
buy for pleasure, let them buy what in-
terests them. I remember meeting Ed-
win Forrest after a sale. ‘I’ve bought a
picture,’ said he. ‘They told me not to
do it, because very likely it is not origi-
nal. But it pleases me, and I should
buy it if it were by somebody I never
heard tell of.’ A picture pleasing to the
eye is a source of education for the time
being at least. Adverse criticism may
lead a man to scrutinize it and study it
more closely than if he had bought one
ke did not like half so well.”
“I think I should be inclined to buy
what I liked personally,” was the opin-
ion of Edwin Swift Balch, “not forget-
ting that the pictorial qualities should
not be lost sight of in the desire to get a
pleasing subject. Good handling, the
proper placing of values and meritorious
color, allied to a sympathetic subject,
will tend to keep our interest in a paint-
ing alive.”—Philadelphia Times.

“Never heard how we got religion to
Angels, stranger? I thought uv course
everybody’d heerd that yarn. Tell yer?
Why, sure; but let’s liquor again, ’n I’ll
reminisce.
“Yer see, ’twas afore Angels got to be
sech a big camp as ’twas later on, but it
was a rich camp ’n a mighty wicked
one. There were lots uv chaps there
who’d jest as soon die in their boots as
eat, ’n every other house was a dance-
house or a saloon or gambling hell.
Pretty Pete ’n his pardner, Five Ace
Bob, was reckoned the wickedest men
in the state, ’n old Bill Jones, what
kept the Golden West hotel, had a na-
tional reputation for cussin.
“The idea of a parson striking the
camp never was thought uv, but one
day I was playing bank into Pete’s
game, when Five Ace came runnin in
’n sez: ‘Boys, I’ll be----, but there's an
ornery cuss of a parson jest rid up to
Jones’. He’s got a pardner with him,
’11 he ’lows he’s goin to convert the
camp.’ ‘The----lie is,’ sez Pete. ‘I’ll
finish the deal ’n go down and see about
that.’
“So we all walked down to Jones’,
’n thar, sure ’nuff, in the bar, talking
with Old Bill, wuz the parson, black coat
’n white tie ’n all. He was a big, squar’
shouldered chap, with a black beard
’n keen eyes that looked right through
yer. His pardner was only a boy of
twenty or so, with yeller curly h’ar, pink
’n white gal’s face ’n big blue eyes.
We all walked in, ’n Pete he stands to
the bar ’n shouts fer all hands ter drink,
’n to our surprise the parson ’n the kid
both stepped up ’n called for red licker
Ti drank it.
“After the drink was finished the
parson sez: ‘Gents, as yer see, I’m a
minister of the Gospel; but 1 see no
harm in a man drinking ez long ez he
ain’t no drunkard. I drank just now
because I want you to see that 1 am not
ashamed to do before yer face what I’d
do behind yer back.’ ‘Right yer are,
parson,’ says Pete; ‘put it thar;’ ’n they
shook hands, ’n then Pete he up and
called off the hull gang—Five Ace ’n
Lucky Barnes ’n Dirty Smith ’n one ’n
all the rest uv ’em. The parson shook
hands with all uv us, ’n said he was
going to have a meetin in Shifty Sal’s
dancehouse that night, ez ’twas the big-
- gest room in camp, ’n ast us all to come
’n we sed we would.
“When we got outside Pete sez, ‘Boys,
you mind me, that devil dodger’ll cap-
ture the camp,’ ’n he did. That night
we all went along down to Shifty’s ’n
found the parson ’n the kid on the
platform where the fiddlers ust to sit,
’n every man in camp wuz in the au-
dience. The parson spoke first. He sed:
‘Gents, I want to tell yer first off I don’t
■want any uv yer dust. I’ve got enuff
fer myself ’n my young friend, ’n there
won’t be no rakeoff in this yer meetin
house, ’n I’m not here to preach against
any man’s way o’ making a livin. I will
preach ag’in’ drunkenness, ’n I shall
speak privately with the gamblers: but
I want to keep you men in mind uv yer
homes ’n yer mother ’n yer wives ’n
yer sweethearts, ’n get yer to lead
cleaner lives, so’s when yer meet ’em
ag’in yer’ll not hev to be ’shamed.’
’n then he sed we’d hev a song, ’n the
youngster he started in ’n played a
concertina ’n sang ‘Teo, WD wxn, --------------------------------—
Gather at the River’; ’n there wuzn’t; The kid will now take up the collection,
