OX COPYIXO DAT.
It i.s a very cairious sight on a copying day
tit any of tbo largo Eurojiean treasure bouses
to wander about the galleries and observe
tbo numbers engaged at their work. .Not
leiid interesting is it to study the character
istics of the crowd. Old men and maidens,
young men aud a few children, with an
occasional old maid or two thrown in, are all
to le found there-. Here an old man maybe
a disappointed artist with rusty clothes, is
doing bu best to make a telling picture
from a Ilaphael. Iloforo another great work
a sprightly young artist has planted his easel
and canvas, and by the vigorous work ho is
doing shows that his life will not bo doomed
to a perpetual existence of copying. He
prolably, like that young girl over there
transferring a Velasquez to her ennvas, is
working two or three dnys a week to make
money either to continue bis studies or
supply models for bis own pictures which
are to take hoaors nt .Burlington house, the
Salon or elsewhere. Then there aro the
regular copyists who make this reproducing
cit pictures their sole occupation of life,
having to sell mostly to the dealers, but ever
ready to make a better halo with an outside
purchaser. Children, accompanied by
adults, are also to be found trying to copy
1:1 eiicil and occasionally in coior, and these,
with those who study for pleasure or instruc
tion by copying from the great masters,
oloe the list of the many beings who tans
pass souio of their time.
A liirgo munlx-r of people think that to
copy a picture ii comparatively an easy
thing aud re piires no grezit amount of train
ing. To give an idea of color and drawing
in one's own stylo of painting may not bo so
1i:Ilc"ult, but to reproduce a subject in ex
actly tl.e saino manner the original artist
painted it means a great deal inure. There
ire two ways of copying. First, by u-iing
pigments which will give the color of the
picture as ft now id ; and second, by trying
to imagine bow th subject really looked
win n it was fresh and new from the puint
r's band und tri-utiiig the copy so, then ly
meaus of gl:ua;s and varnishes, etc., naki::g
it appear iuito as old as tho original. In the
lirst instance many colors now in ordinary
use have to be discardpd and the few known
of in th'se days used. But knowing, or
rather underM nditig, lxth thee method
means but half tho liattlo. Tho copyist lias
1r study the tochr.iiiue of tho artist whose
work he wishes to reproduce, that is, how be
gt.-t hi.; edects, bandied his brushes and other
minuti-e. Some few can imbibe so much of
the original painter's technique that were
they to paint a jrtrait or some such picture
the IlnL-hcd work might almost be taken as
coming fruiu the baud of a man dead long
years ago.
rOR A LIVELIHOOD.
Among the tuauy copying fur their liveli
hood there are a few who ppend the greater
jvart of their tinio in reproducing one or two
picture. They have acquired tho necessary
1-eculiar bmshworv aud color for these pict
ures, aud their work when finished, except
for its freshness and being on a smaller can
vas, could hardly be distinguished from the
original. Generally, these copyists are noted
and their productions bring them good prices.
But apart from the monetary side, their
lives must be wautiug in intereft. Me
chanically they draw, working alway by
g-juares, mechanically they paint, ever using
1 lie same quantity of this or that pigment.
js a machine, they take no notice of any one
around thero, and if they are interrupted
or questioned they mechanically reply.
As directly opjosed to the old stagers, let
us glance at the many ladies who come tc
these galleries to study and to enjoy them
selves. There are a few very regular attend
ants, grim old maids, with whom, for the
present, we will have nothing to do. Wha
wo want to see are the pretty young girl ,
'well dressed and wearing becoming little
aprons, who wrestle with a Turner or strug
gle with a F-aphael, and between whiles run
off to caca others' places to have a little chat,
T7uo lika to get into difficulties aDd have
cliaimin young artists come and offoT
to help tlieia out of their troubles, and flirt
with them n little to repay them for
their trouble Tco much of this sort of thing
catmot bo iadu!ged ia, as there are guardians
tJweys about who have to see that those who
make us-3 of the privilege of copying in th3
gallery do not abuse it. It is undoubtedly a
privilege, and not every one can obtain it.

THE BANANA BUSINESS.
rrpparliift iho Roll Put tine Ox:t
th
"Sii.-!;riV neiMlty Iws.
Mr. Kennedy took me in ohargo early, and
r.n tho wharf tho hhudy nido of the shi-d
pzivn mo the account t t he l.un ui.i lnisiinH
t lint I fJiall try to reproduce. 1 cannot do
lt'-tt'r than imagine that the n adcr isnlout
t' settle in Jamaica to engage in raising
buuanas, and that I m telling him what 1
liavo learned about the industry. The land
tiM'd is likely to lie either 1111 un;:.-e 1 fcugar
estate, or what is kiiouu in Jamaica n
'ruinate;" that is, land that hzis stoyl idle
long tiint it ha3 loconie overgrown with tail
buslies and f-iuail tree. The first cost of
land of the latter sort is of course much lesx,
but the exjieuse of clearing it i- s much
greater that it is doubtful win ther good cul
tivable lund is not cheajx-r in tho end.
Tho ground having been cleared and
plowed, banana "nickers'' are set out, tho
distance lift ween them leiending very much
tqion the quality of the laud. In from ten to
fourteeu months after plant ing tho tree bus
reached its full size, ten to twelve feet in
height, the stalk then being alxjut eiht
inches in diameter at tho base, au.l the
bunch of fru it is ready to cut for shipment.
The fruit is always cut while yet reen, and
each ht.alk produces only one Lunch. When
the fruit is cut that, is the end of that
ttalk, and ttio stalk is cut down. Fruth
"suckers"' are produced from tho roots, how
ever, and several of these are allowed to
Crow for the next crop. For the lirt few
months a good deal of cultivation is necessary
in tho banana field to keep it clear of weeds,
but when the stalks gro and the leaves be
gin to spread they effectually choke down
tho weeds, and little more attention ts needed.
From .10 to o0 un acre is a fair estimate of
tho cobt of plowing, planting and cultivating
for ono year, but where tho land has to be
cleared of trees this increases tho cost con
siderably. Onco started, the plantation is
good for five or six years without much fur
ther labor beyond keeping it clear of weeds
at certain seasons.
But the banana planter La3 a deadly
foe in tho hurricanes and high winds
that frequently sweep over tho West
Indies. Tho bunnna tree has very small
roots and is easily knocked over. Some
times even with nothing worse than a lively
"norther" an entire plantation is destro3"ed
in an hour, and there is nothing for it but to
start over again. As to the risks and profits,
S r. iveunedy says: "From my experience I
do uot think tho banana yields the planter
a very large profit, though there are excep
' ions to the rule. A tropical hurricano will
sweep a banana cultivation level with the
ground in an hour. Besides these hurri
canes, we usually have very strong winds,
(northers) during tho winter months, that
often blow down acres of bananas. Tho tree
is easily blown down, especially when it has
a largo bunch of bananas banging from its
top. Were it not for these great drawbacks,
planting bananas would bo a prolitablo in
vest rucnt. It is important that a planter
understands tho business, and kuows how to
ft'ork tho Jamaica labor." William Di-ys-Jale
in New York Times.
The Ilurdoii of Criminal Exile.
It is manifest, I think, that when a flood
cf 10,003 vagrants, thieves, counterfeiters,
burglars, highway rob! ers and murderers is
pourea into a colony, the class most injurious
to the welfare of tiint colony is the liberated
class. If a burglar or a thief issent to Siberia
and shut up iu prison, bo is no more danger
ous to society thero than ho would bo if bo
wcro imprisoned ia Furopcan Russia. Tho
lace of his confinement is immaterial, be-:-au:i'j
Lo has no opportunity to do evil. If,
lio-.vovt.-r, Lo is sent to Siberia and thero
'.urned loose, bo resumes his criminal activ
ity, aud Incomes at once a menace to social
order and security.
For more than half a century tho people of
."Siberia have been groaning under tho heavy
burJcn of criminal exile. More than two
tLiriL. of all tho crimes committed in the
colui'.y are committed by common felons
who have been transiorted thither aud then
set at liberty, and tho jieasaiits everywhere
aro becoming demoralized by enforced asso
ciation with thieve3, burglars, counterfeit
ers and embezzlers from the cities of Euro
pean Russia. The honest and prosperous in
habitants of tho country protest, of course,
against a system which liberates every year,
at their very doors, an army of 7,000 worth
less characters and felons. They do not ob
ject to tho hard labor convicts, becauso the
latter aro shut up iu jails. They do not ob
ject to the political and religious exiles, be
cause such offenders frequently make the
best of citizens. Their protests aro a?med
particularly at the compulsory colonists.

Danger of Malaria iu Cities.
It is a common idea that greater risk is run
from this cause of disease in the country than
in towns and cities, but thero are strong rea
sons for doubting that such is the case, so far
as any unhealthy influence of tho country it
self is concerned. If a farm house be placed
tn a low, swampy situation and a town in a
similar locality the dwellers in the one will
be no moro liable to malarious diseases than
the inhabitants of the other. In large cities,
where the ground is being constantly turned
up for the purpose of laying water and gas
mains, constructing sewers or for any one of
tho hundred other purposes for which a con
tinual upheaval of the pavements goes on,
diseases of malarial origin will almost con
stantly abound. Some parts of New York
city, or of Philadelphia, for instance, are
nearly as full of malaria as are the worst
parts of Florida. Thero is nothing, there
fore, to be gained in this respect by a hasty re
turn from the seashore or tho mountains to the
pent up atmosphere of a large town in which
excavations of some kind or other are at cer
tain seasons of the year carried on with more
than usual vigor. Dr. Wm. A. Hammond in
New York World.
Mental Effects of the Weatlier.
It is curious to think how indifferent are
same people to those atmospherical changes
which so signally affect the health and tem
per of others. You will seo one man of a
rainy day, or a cold day, so transformed
from good nature to acidity and bitternes?
that Lis beat f rieDcls -would fain get out oi
Lis way at least till the "wind changes. r
Thoso of less sensitive organization hav
Utile patience and less pity for what they
cannot understand; yet this unfortunate
class aro not for that reason to be shut out in
tho cold till they "come to." A little sym
pathy some cheerful topic of conversation
adroitly introduced some pleasing b'ttlc
personal attention at the right moment and
lo I the mental clouds disperse, and all again
is sunshine. New York Ledger.

the i obey ot the present administration ami
the democratic majority in congress towards
our lWhciicti as unfriendly ami conspicioio ly
initial riot ic and as tending to destroy a valuable
national industiy and an iudispeiisible resource
of defense against foreign enemy.
The name of American applies zilike to dl
eili.eiis of the rep.ibli . and imposes upon men

CIVIL SKUVK-K OJ-K'MtM.
The men w ho ab u;d. ;.! .; :. : ; aid lean p..r
ty iu lsst and continue to adhere to the demo
cratic party have deserted not only 1 lie cause
of holiest government, hut of sound finance, of
freedom -and purity of the ballot, but espec
ially have deseited ihe cause of reform ill the
civil service. We whl not fall to keep our
ledges because tl ey have broken theirs, or
bcause their candidate has broken his. We
therefore repea our declaration of Ixh-i, tovvit. :
The reform of civil service auspiciously begun
under republican administration .should be
Completed by ji further extension of th reform
svstem already established by law to all grades
of the service low hieh it is applied. The spir
it and purpose of reform should he observed in
all executive appointments, and all laws at
varience with the object of existing reform leg
islation should be repealed, and that the dan
gers to free institutions which lurk In the pow
er cf offend patronage may be wisely and ef
fet tivc.ly avoided.
The gratitude of the nati -n to the defenders
of the union cannot be assured except bv laws.
The legislation of congress should conform to
the pledges made by a loyal p"op'e. and be so
enlarged and extended as to prov'de against
the possibility that any man who honornbly
w- re the federal uniform shall beeoiee sin In
mate of an almshouse or dependent on rivate
charlfv. In the presence of an overflowing
treasury it would b" a public scandal to do less
for those whose valorous service preserved the
government. We Cenour.ce the hostile spirit
shown by President Cleveland in his numerous
vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the
action of the democratic house of representa
tives In refusing even consideration of general
pension legislation.
In support of the principles herewith enun
ciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic
men of all parties, especially of all working
men whose prosperity Is seriously threatened
by the free trade policy of the present admin
istration .
The first eoi cern of 11 good government is
the virtue and sobriety of the People nnd the
purity of their homes. 'Ihe republican party
cordial sympathizes with all wise ami well
directed efforts for the promotion or temper
