No. D. It has occurred to the writer that possibly come of the boys think we are giving a course In mechanical drawing. This is far from the truth. Such a course would require a long series of articles, which, we fear, would prove tlrecome to most of our young readers, especially the girls and, by the way, these talks on tools and drawing should be.

of just as much use to tho giirls as to the boys. The woman of the hons is very often the one called upon to use the tools, as sho is there so much more than the man. And, heside, if we must say it, they do it quite awkwardly sometimes. So, you bright, rosy cheeked girls who are going to be new women in a few days, or weeks, must keep your end up in that direction as well as In the other. If we are not giving a thorough course In mechanical drawing than whit are we giving? Simply a few ot the Important general principles, to Inspire young people to look deeper into the subject, which they will, of course, do by looking up text books on drawing.

Beside this, we want to help. our busy boys and girls with an explanation occasionally that we hope will be plainer and more simple than text books sometimes give; then you know It sometimes take3 a great deal of precious time to look through a catalogue for the book you want and still longer to pick out from the book the exact piece of information you need. Often it is necessary to read several chapters through and then the result Is not satisfactory. If I can get you to realize the importance of drawing that will be valuable in itself; most business men do not. Commercial people do not realize that 50 per cent, of our population is not engaged in trade at all, but In the manufacturing industries.

A very well known committee of prominent men said recently in a report: "Drawing is a universal language. The punlic a largo does not realize its omnipresence in every day affairs. The clothes a man puts on in the mornings were made from drawings or patterns. The keys and smali coins in his pockets were made from drawings. Tho chair in which he sits eating his breakfast was made according to drawings; so were tho carpet and wall paper, the table and objects upon it.

The stove on which his breakfast was prepared, the system of water pipes that bring his drinking water, the staircase that he descends to get to the street, the raiiroad station, the car in wtiich he rides down town, the illustrations in the newspaper which ho reads on the way and the printing press that, duplicates them ali involve skillful drawing somewhere and by somebody, in order might exist for his convenience and pleasure. Drawing is a necessary factor in the larger part of all productive Industries. It is practically ffle universal language of Industry. If this were more generally understood to be the fact teaching of drawing In the schools would have a stronger support on the part of the conservative and "practical men of the community." This is surely expressed clearly enough, so let us begin at once. Here is the mechanical drawing of a work bench, such as anybody may be proud to possess: Too I rack 4L.5i' 'oitr, 3o soys I give this wit'a all necessary dimensions, so that' anyone may make a working drawing and have it constructed toy a carpenter.

Do not try to make it yourself, as that would be like attempting to swim across tho ocean before trying the East River. Try something easier at first. If any one of our readers should he fortunate enough to have one of these presented to him we envy him. The lower frame work should bo made of ash and the top of maple. Notice ttiat 'the front part of the mapie top, which is heavier than the back part, is 'built of six separate pieces glued together; this is prevent warping.

A detailed view of the tool rack is shown here, looking down upon it: If one does not care to encumber his bench with tools, yet wants them to be within easy, reach, an arrangement like this is very convenient fixed on the wall directly back of the bench and in front of the worker: ninil1 Ju prrjL ru 20 UFflJlfWrJj are eo long, or do they play them several times over without stopping? I confess I never know, except when the musicians have the music before them, and when they do, I am much occupied in reckoning the pages they have still to piay, and if I have the optical delusion that they are putting pages back td play them over again, I quietly slip out of the room. However, there aro a few matinees and soirees which cannot be dismissed with a gape or a sigh of relief, and those are principally tho ones in which the stars, who have spent tho winter season In America, deign to appear in the programmes. Paris can no longer afford to keep these songstresses under contract and It Is only in between two seasons of America and England that Parisians can hear them, now and then in private matinees. Molba and Eames have eutlrely regained their health. Tho larynx is certainly the most curious organ cf the body; it is always in trim and ready for work when It has nothing to do.

I never heard a singer say she had a cold or a sore I throat when there was no immediate prospect of filling a contract. A throat is like a naughty child, for it will keep persistently silent when told to show off. Mme. Eames before going to London sang in several matinees, given by her friends, and she never looked better nor was in better voice. Do you not think it somewhat surprising that American girls, after a long sojourn In Europe, never go back to their native country to settle and live there permanently? For instance, there is Mme.

Eames, who married an American, who. has, had her greatest successes in her native land, who has hosts of admiring friends who are ready to fete her in every city of the Union, and yet, like many others, she has chosen her abiding piace in Paris. She has a lovely home in Place des Elats Unis. She has probably chocsen that square not to appear too ungrateful to her own country. Still, for all those women, America seems good enough lor the making of the money, which they hasten to go to spend elsewhere.

Just before the burning of the bazar, Melba sang in a soiree at her teacher's, at Mme, Marchesi's. She was also in splendid voice, and sang several of Bemberg's songs, among them a baliad from the opera "Elaine," with a chorus sung by Marchesi's best pupils. I cannot imagine why Melba is thought cold, In her singing. She may not have the fire of acting like a Calve, but is Calve's art the highest of lyric art? Is there not artifice studied there to skillfully hide defects of lyricism? Melba's art of expressing feeling is perhaps too fine to be noticed by tho gross public in a large hall, but when you are very near her in a private house, she has accents of feeling; she has ways of underlining phrases, which, to those who look lor more feeling in singing than acting, are thrilling. For instance, in the song Passa," of Bemberg, there Is a passage which describes lovers passing in the woods in April, and she ang it with so much true accent that you had the woods before your eyes, and you heard the sylvan notes of spring through them, and you saw the young, beautiful couple singing hosannas to love.

It is reported that is going to play impresario with Dam rosch In America next season. Let us hope that they will have a more financial success than tho directors of this year. Mr. Sehlesinger and his two charming daughters. Miss Sehlesinger and the Baroness on Reibnitz, from Philadelphia, have set tied iu Paris, and in their well appointed apartment of the Boulevard Maiesherbes, they, this winter have had some fine matinees.

Mr. Sehlesinger himself has lyric talent, and he is also a composer of baliads and songs, which ot only amateurs but professionals think an inquisition to music. All the noted singers 'f Paris. England and America have been icard at various times in Ms artistic matinees. iis daughter, the Baroness von Reibnitz.

After having spent years teaching America, he has come to Paris, and lmme iiately after having settled in one of the most 'eautiful quarters of the city, pupils began to flock to him.

During his first season he al endy obtained some fine results, and in his afternoon matinees tho professor and omposcr has had some remarkable singing. Mr. and Mrs. Xeidlinger have gone to London 'or the season, but I believe they intend to make Paris their home, and establish here a regular school for singing. The pleasant o'clock tea given by Mr.

Hol tnan Black and Mrs. Black will especially interest you because it was given in honor of several Brooklynites. in honor of Mrs. Henri ette YValden and her two sisters, the Misses Baldwin. Before the tea was served, which was presided over by Mrs.

Morss, the wife of the retiring American consul to France In the cozy diningroom which looks out upon a garden whose cascade murmured a sweet tune of dripping water, the guests were regaled with quite a number of songs. You are acquainted with Mrs. Adele Baldwin from Now York, for she sang in a number of concerts in her native city before she sailed for Europe. She is now very busy studying singing with one of the competent French professors. Mrs.

liaiuwin is ot iM ench descent and she therefore sang "Lo Chevalier Belle Etoile." by Augusta Holmes, without a flaw in her accent. I was pleased to have the opportunity of hearing Hathaway Baldwin from Brooklyn. You know she Is one of Mme. de la Grange's efficient pupils, and that she sang on several occasions in Paris during the last sojourn to the applause of her numerous hearers. She is now here with her mother and her two sisters, and has resumed her musical studies with her teacher.

Very effectively Miss Baldwin sang an air of Gounod's. "Philemon ct Baucis," and "A Violet in Her Hair," by Campbell. Mrs. Collins is also hero for tho perfecting of her voice. It is her intention to make a French career.

She has a most beautiful voice and will be an acquisition at the Grand or Opera Comique. She sang a duet with Mr. Tlolman Black, "Un Ange Est Venu," by Bem berg, and "La ci Darem," from Mozart's "Don Juan." It Is always a great pleasure to hear Mr. Hoirnan Black anrl the pleasure is doubled when he sinirs "The Arrow and the Song." dedicated to him and composed by Wilmarth. What a number of pupils Mr.

Holman Black would have if he deigned to turn professor' and teach his gend method and impeccable pronunciation. It is almost a sin for him not to consent to inculcate his art to others. At Mrs. Twyeffort's tea it was again my pleasure to meet several Brooklynites. Mrs.

Twyeffort was assisted by her daughter, Mrs! William Kennedy Wardner, who is here with her husband spending several weeks with her parents. Mrs. Elijah Robinson Kennedv Miss Susan Pratt Kennedy, Miss Lucv Brace rrati, nil were present looklnc most hnnnv tn be tn tho French capital, all having a good time in their sojourn of several weeks.

IS GORGEOUS RECEPTION AT THE FRENCH CAPITAL. Grand Gathering of the Classes President Faure Absent American Singers in France Interesting Groups ol Brooklynites Some Noted Afternoon Teas Interesting Gossip About Live Paris Topics. Eaglo Paris Bureau, May 30 After the mourning ot a fortnight, which was occupied with tho burying of the dead and the tailing care of the wounded, together with tho weeping and the mourning tho gay world of Paris again turns upon Us social axis. Theaters are again filling with people unmindful of the danger of fire or other causes of panics; cinematograph shows are crowded; it is already forgotten that it was one of them which caused tho fire and destruction of the bazar, and that accidents almost daily are happening with the lamps or other apparatus.

Invitations to dinners are sent out and the usual five o'clock teas are as much frequented as ever. The French saying that one cannot live with the dead is fully demonstrated by Parisians who will now need more diversions than ever to obliterate the poignant impression left by the horriblo catastrophe. For the renewal of festivities and social gatherings last week, the reception of tho apostolic nuncio was the grand affair. Indeed, it was the event of the season, for I do not remember if any open receptions given to the diplomatic, official, social and religious authorities by the representative of the Pope has ever before taken place. In the defini tion of nuncio, it says that ho is an ambassador from the Pope to an emperor or a king.

This definition ought to be lengthened to suit the times, for there is also a nuncio sent to Republican governments. 'Whether it is from policy or personal affection, the Pope and I think it is because of the latter is always ready to give preferences and be lenient to France. Who knows but what his liberal views, for which ultra Catholics might censure him, if they were not taught that tho Pope, like the king, can do no wrong, have not been Inspired by his ardent desire to conciliate mutable France with immutable religion, and add to its device that the Pope as well as God protects it. Whatever the motives, one of the finest receptions ever given in Paris, since the days of the empire, was the nuncio's, for it had all the ceremony and paraphernalia of the ancient feasts given by the princely officers in ancient Home. The entrance in the court yard all ablaze with electric light was transformed into a winter garden composed of gigantic palms and other tropical plants, which would have cut a good figure in their native countries, and between them bloomed globes of azaleas mingled with bushes of marguerites whose size and profuse blossoms are seen only in this country.

The artistic baluster of the wide marble staircase was lined with blooming plants which made but one mass of blossoming verdure with the trailing vines that covered and run along the balusters, and all of this verdure and blossoms were thrown into further relief by the deep red carpet that covered the stairs. All the balls were equally made resplendon' with floral decorations and myriads of lights Imagine all the spacious halls filled with all the apostolic cortege dressed in gala costume: mingled with the diplomatic corps also costume and women in their most magnifi cent decollete attires covered with all tin Jewels they possessed. The reception begat at 9:30 with the coming of the cardinal, arcr bishop of Paris. Cardinal Richard. a grand man, dressed in his gala robes, slowly advanced accompanied by his general vicars and hi.

secretaries and was officially received at th' entrance by the nuncio's suite and his secretaries, preceded by six footmen each carrying a lighted silver candelabrum. At tho top the steps stood the nuncio. Mgr. Clari, followe by three secret chamberlains of the Pope the Count de la Salle do Rochemaure, in a re; court costume, the Count de Polignac, in blaci, dress and wearing the chain of the pontifica'. secret ante chamber; Count de Marcillae, ir.

the fine Henry II costume, which he wears in the hall of the papal throne. The cortege which was a revival of the magnificent one; seen in Rome during the papal days, slowly mounted to the second story of the palac where the reception took place. The nuncio took the place cf honor in the enter of the salle du trone, Cardinal Richard sa; at his right and behind the nuncio and the car dinal stood, all the resplendently dressed suite of each apostolic dignitary, together with the chief priestsof the important churches of Paris. "When all were in place the master of ceremonies, M. Crozier, came forward to introduci the members of the diplomatic and official corps, who, as I have mentioned above, had all donned their gala costumes.

Whether from curiosity or from other more serious motives, all the people who had received invitations, of whatever creed or standing they were, filed before the august dignitaries of the Catholic church, made their profound bow, whether of courtesy or obeisance. The president, Feliz Faure, was not present, the iaws that govern the social and official actions of tho chief of state probably forbade his attendance. But Mine. Faure and Mile Lucie Faure were the first to be presented. The wife of the president has learned to make a most dignified if not graceful bow.

In the time of queens it was said that it was they and the female members of the royal families only that knew how to incline the head and bend the bcly just sufficiently to show their royal condescension But later it has been proved that democrats could put just as much condescension into salutes as those who had royal blood flowing in their veins. When Mrs. Grant was presented to the crowned heads of Europe it was said that no one had over bowed with more grace and dignity. Mme. Faure bows equally as well, although she is a very stout woman and although she has the plebeian blood of tho wife of a tanner running through her veins and these facts show that everything lies in education ami not in blood.

But 1 am forgetting the august assembly before which we are standing. Mine. Carnot and her son were next presented. Then several of the heads of the small factions of Imperialists and of Oricanists. Afterward, came all the members of the cabinet, the presidents of the senato and chamber of deputies, die whole army of republican officials.

One person, standing back of two socialists, I mi gin say atheistic, deputies, overheard one of them say, "Cost une reception conimo uric autre." "It it only a simple reception." He was doubtless Justifying himself tor being seen in such a clerical assembly. Tho other said that ho had cumo out of curiOvsity; he was very fond of studying ancient customs. Well, whatever aro the motives and reasons for whlcn each man and woman was present at this grand occasion, those of the bests were of a pacifving, cordial nature; and if they aro willing to appear and receive those who. make war upon thorn they do it with the same ceremony, with the same dignity that the church demanded when tho world was on its knees before It. They make no concessions.

Spring not only awakens birds ti sing, but all human songsters who have or have no voices, and for whom It is a much greater pleasure to hold forth than for the poor victims of society to listen to thorn.

EDWIN W. FOSTER. At an interesting christening In the village of Heras, near Santander, although the. parents of tho babe belong to the lower orders, the priests donned their most magnificent robes and the altar of the village church was one 'blaze of light. The alcalde and the other local authorities were present, for the Infant was the queen's godson, child of Maxi mlna Pedraja, the nurse of Alfonso XIII.

Queen Christina dressed the peasant of her son with great splendor, fashioning tho gay, rich materials into Maximina's native costume a short round skirt of scarlet velvet, black or a dark blue bodice with fine lawn chemisette, tiny silk apron with flowing sash, her hair in plaits with a large silk bow on her head something like those worn by th Alsatian, peasants. As a finishing touch tha queen decked her with a coral necklace and earrings. Sometimes on state occasions Max imlna appeared with triple strands of beads oj solid gold around her neck. Maxlmina Is net a pretty woman. Her features are sharp and hard.

She has occupied a most prominent place in great palatial cere monies. She has stood uy the throne, the first person next to the queen; she has driven to the cathedral, sitting in the glass carriage. She carried the pope's godson to be christened. She stood with him in her arms under the dais In the houso of parliament. Sho has held him when great foreign princes have kissed his baby hand.

She taught him his first word, and how to call his mother. He learned from her to make the sign of tho cross, to lisp his first prayer, and from her arms Alfonso Xltl took his first steps. King Alfonso was not weaned readily, andjt was no little trouble to persuade him to use a spoon. In fact, that was quite out of the question until Maximina was by degrees taken from him and sent to other apartments In tha palace. At first the king cried terribly for his nurso and often refused to be comforted even by his mother, whom he adores.

"Ama! Ami ta!" he would sob and call until the soft hearted Spaniards around him would hava sent for her immediately, but in that the queen was firm. "The king Is 4 years old, and must learn to live without his nurse." By degrees he dried his tears, but he often speako of his ama, and sends her presents and no end of messages. Maximina returned to her home In Heras. She is a rich woman fcr one" of her class. Sha has built a pretty cottage, where her fortunate husband sits and smokes his pipe and pretends to be looking after "his own property." Maximina receives 10 a month from the queen, beside other bounties, and her children will never lack patronage as long as Maria Christina lives.

Her old fashioned chests of drawers are full of fine linens. Her necklaces and 17' 8' a IS o. 3 earrings will be heirlooms for her little daugk ter, the foster sister of King Alfonso. Queen Christina was much pleased when Maximina's son was born. She wrote that sha would be the child's godmother, and that it should be Alfonso, after the king.

That is why the village of Heras witnessed such a grand christening. octorj in lljjia. Slovo of Kiev reports some curious instances of popular doctoring in south Russia. The rural dentist places his patient upon a little stool and examines him. If an upper tooc.ii Is to be pulled he performs tha operation with a simple pair of tong3 Ilka that used by cobblers.

But If a lower tootll Is to be extracted the operation is more com' plicated. The tooth is tied very skillfully; with a violin string. The other end of tha string is fastened to a hock in the celling. Then the stool is removed with a jerk from beneath the patient, who falls, his tooth remaining on the string, sometimes with the flesh around it. Intermittent fever Is cured either by live frogs or by fright.

When tha sickness breaks out tho patient is made to carry about him as many live frogs as can be put In his clothes. If that treatment does not help the patient his fellow villagers try to frighten him. The most popular method of doing that is known by the name of Li kanlye. A crowd of men and women come into the house and raise a quarrel with the patient. They treat him to tho loudest and most offensive terms of reproach.

That naturally Irritates him, and he answers in similar terms. The crowd takes offense at his rude expressions and resolves to lynch him. A rope Is put around his neck and he is dragged about until he is insensible on account of the fright. rjint for B0Y5 ancl irlj.

Tell The brownie of which you read and hear so much nowadays is not a new creature, not at all. Mr. Palmer Cox, who has made so many verses and pictures about him, did not Invent him, by any means.

The brownie Is the old fashioned fairy of Scotland, both of the highland and lowland countries, and his name and adventures have been known and celebrated in song and story ever since songs were sung and stories told. For hundreds of years brownies and fairies and elves have been written about. An old Scottish poet, Gawaln Douglas, in the fifteenth century, published a book, of which he said: "Of Brownys and of Boggles full Is this beuk." And many a tale he tells about them. The jolly, good natured Scottish household brownie was "a personage of small stature, wrinkled visage, a head covered with short, curly brown hair and wearing a brown mantle and hood. He lived in the hollows of old trees, ruined castles, and often in the abode of man." He was attached to particular families, with whom he was known to reside even for centuries, threshing the corn, cleaning the house and delighting to help everybody in a general way in all kinds of work.

The shoemaker sometimes found an unfinished pair of shoes completed in the morning, or the maid found an untidy room swept. It was always the dear household brownie who did these good turns for his friends. He was much loved on account of this dear little way he had of doing other folks' work for them. And sometimes one of his grateful admirers would leave a nice little bowl of cream or some fresh honeycomb behind the door for this useful friend. These gifts always disappeared, and of course it must have been Brownie who got them.

But Brownie was of a sensitive nature, and did not like gifts made him without discretion. If a present was left in a conspicuous place, or he was loudly called to take it, he became greatly offended, and often left the house, and abandoned the care of the family who had so greatly insulted him. Anything intended for Brownie must be left in a secret place, and much caro was taken not to hurt his feelings by trying to bribe him in any open way. You will find many pretty stories of brownies in Keightley's "Fairy Mythology" or In "Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales." Mr. Cox has lately written some pleasant verses about brownies, but the best stories about them are to be found among the records of the people to whom they have for so long a time been dear.

EVA LOVETT. Making a SroWnie Band. One of our girl friends has become much interested in making brownies, says Frances Courtney James in the Inter Ocean. She now has a whole family of them from the dude to the Chinaman. In the following letter she describes in an interesting way how she does the work; "I always loved brownies," she says, "and I almost think my invention must have come from my dreams, in which so many times the queer little people played their midnight SUM.

pranks. Nearly five years ago the idea of making brownies occurred to mo. First one was made; then another, to keep that company; and since then they have scampered from my hands to California, Kansas, Ohio, and even to a studio of far off New York, where a dude brownie gazes through his monocle in goggle eyed amazement at the well known artist who rescued the brownie band from oblivion. "To make the brownie's inner man, cut head, hands and shoes from chamois skin, in two pieces each, like the diagrams, and sew the edges together.

Each child who answers correctly all the puzzles of the week has his name placed upon the Roll of Honor. Beginning with the list of May 16 each child whose name is printed there four times will receive a merit card.

Three merit cards entitle the holder to the prize of a book. Each child must keep the lists containing his name, cutting them out to include the heading and date, and send these lists, with name marked and address inclosed, to the editor of the puzzle department, when a merit card will be sent him. These prizes are offered to all who work for them up to October 1, 1897. Many children sent in their lists this week in order to obtain merit cards. Some others are entitled to cards who have not yet sent for them.

It is best to send for your card as soon as you have earned it. Try to keep the lists together and send them promptly, but if you lose any, send what you have, with the dates of the missing ones, and if your name is found, the card will be sent you just the same. The first batch of merit cards will be sent out on Tuesday, June 15. There may be some children whose names will be upon tho Roll of Honor for the fourth time to day, instead of last Sunday; so they will have a chance to send their lists in time to have a card sent them by Tuesday. The number of cards needed to obtain a prize has been made only three instead of five.

If any boy or girl has any objection to making the number less they had better write and say so as quick as possible, for they might win enough cards to get a book before they had time to object. Think how dreadful that would be! Mabel French. It was probably as you suggest. Use this item as credit for June 6. Percy Sackett Use this item as credit for May 23.

This letter and story come from a little reader: Dear sir I have written this story and would like to have it published to surprise my papa. MARION ROOT. STORY OF A ROSE. I am not a very large thing, yet I give pleasure to many people. Some people think me very pretty and I rather think so myself.

I begin with a very small seed. I was put in the ground and watered; by and by I got tlrel of lying In the earth, so I shot up tiny leaves and nlowly I became a large bush. One beautiful Saturday morning two little glrln came out in their garden. I heard one say: "Ob! Grace, see that lovely rose: let us pick It for poor grandma, who is so sick." They picked it. In the afternoon they went to see their grandma.

They ynve hur the rose and told her where it came from. Every morning the poor old lady would greet it with a smile. About .1 week after the rose awoke, but did not see the dear smile. Never more the kind hands did It feel. The poor old lady was dead.

She then was burled and the little rose was planted on the grave and lived happy in the warm sunshine. MARION ROOT (aged 11 years.) ESM: Vernon avenue. Only a 1in. Only a pin from his mother's store, Placed In his father's easy chair, Only a man who was angry and sore; Only a pin from his mother's store; Only a hoy who'd be good evermore. If only his father this once would forbear.

By Robert Louis Stevenson. At evening when the lamp is lit, Around the fire my parents sit; Thoy sit at home and talk and sing, And do not play at any thing. Now, with my little gun, I crawl All in the dark along tho wall, And follow round the forest track, Away behind the sofa back. There, In the night, where none can spy, All in my hunter's camp I lie, And play at books that I have read. Till it is time to go to bed.

These are the hills, these are the woods, These are my starry solitudes; And there the river, by whose brink The roaring lions come to drink. I see the others far away. As if in flrelit camp they lay, And like to an Indian scout, Around their party prowled about. So, when my nurse comes in for me. Home I return across the sea, And go to bed with baokward looks.

The lower part of this arrangement is a shelf, on which rest such things as cannot very well be hung up, as the oil stove, oil can, small planes, etc. Now, on the supposition that each boy or girl has a limited set of tools, a limited knowledge of drawing and a limited amount cf money to buy wood, nails, glue, we will take up the drawing and construction of a simple pine box, without a cover. Somebody says: "Why, anybody can make a pina box." Yes; that's what every boy thinks when he leaves tho school before graduating time, and goes into a business offlce "anybody can go into business." Very true; but, unfortunately, statistics tell us that 96 per cent, of the men w'ao go into business fall.

Anybody oan make a box after a fashion; but there Is only ono way that I will have anything to do with the subject, and that is the right way. Instead of 95 per cent, coming out wrong, 100 per cent, must come out right. The box, we will say. Is 8 inches deep, 1 foot wide and IS Inches' long, the wood uied to be 1 inch thick and the parts to be nailed together. First make a mechanical drawing, which you know how to.
