of Portmlfa ,
When George D. Maduro Pcixotto , th
"Little nilleo" of Du Maurlcr's "Trilby,1
and the painter of physiognomies of dlstln
gulshcd men and women of two continents
was hero to go through the art exhibit o
the exposition and sco the gorgeous Ak-Sar
Ben parades and the gala Illumination of th
city's streets , ho managed to get In a foi
minutes' leisure time to talk of his par
tlcular line of art. Speaking of his erst
while next door neighbor In Parts on th
Hue Langlcr , M. Julo Ohcrot , ho eald :
"Yes , I was fortunate In having so grca
an artist In his way alongside mo as X
Choret. Chcrot Is the father of the moder
poster. Ho has made Bcardsloy posslbli
though , of course , other than his orlglnatlo
of the billboard poster there Is not much 1
common between their methods. Cheret Is
genius , and Is so considered throughout th
larger circles of Europe. "
His conversation then turned on the grca
Hungarian master , Munkacsy , to whom li
was wont , when a student , to take his el
forts for criticism , as well as to Mcls
eonler.
"Munkacsy was ono of the most modes
mon I ever saw In his criticisms , " ho re
marked. "Ho would simply ask If the pup
thought this or that would bo bettor. 0
the whole ho was as much a Parisian In hi
life ns any born Frenchman , and wlthoi
anything of the eccentric whatever , as I
usually expected in a man of genius.
"A Belgian baron left to his widow an
Munkacsy a largo fortune , which enable
him to put up a magnificent study at Noullli
a subilrb of Paris. Munkacsy married th
widow. In his moral nature he was Ilk
most Frenchmen , and this , with the coi
Rent entirely of his wife. When I was I
Paris last I learned that his study on tb
Avcnuo do Vllllors was to let. The grei
art dealer , Charles Scydelmeter , treated hi ;
as ho has done most other artists of grc ;
ability take half of whatever they got fc
their works , Munkacsy's picture , 'Chrt
Before Pilate , ' was bought by John Wnuz
'maker for $100,000 , and Seydeltnoler receive
a full half of the amount as his commit
slon.
Picture Cmmc * n Scimntlon.
"His 'Milton Reading Paradise Lost
His Daughter , ' which-is now in the Lone
library , was a flno piece of portrait wor
but the picture which first raised a sons ;
tlon all over Europe was his 'Lost Hours <
a Condemned Man. ' It represented a Hui
garlan convict in bis cell seated at a tab
surrounded by his guards and with bis roll
tlvcs looking nt him as though bo wcro
wild beast. Every line of the awful e :
prcsslon of the doomed man's countcnam
is brought out BO true to nature than It wi
tbo talk of all the salons.
"Melssonlcr differed from Munkacsy I
hs | trcntroept of criticism , yet ho was n
an academician , as were Jerome and Bonn
of the Beaux A rites , though ho worked sonn
what on academic lines. Ho broke awt
Irpm. the rules of tbo academy when a yout
man. The result was that ho never bi
came a professor of the Academy. A p
cullar thing about Meissonlcr was that e
his portraits were microscopic and this mat
him subject to a great deal of rldiculo fro
the savants of the Beaux Artcs. The hei
of Napoleon In the picture which Judge HI
ton presented to tbo Metropolitan museu
otfNow York is only about three-quarters <
nn Inch in size. There is qulto a lltt
story connected with this picture. It wi
ordered by an English admirer of Napoleo
Its title is simply ' 1812. ' After it w
painted thcro was eomo haggling about tl
price and A. T. Stewart hearing of th
cabled over the figure and ordered tl
picture sent 1o this country. "
Reverting to Munkacsy's methods of tcac !
Ing , bo said :
"It was a peculiar thing about him th
only ono of his pupils over took any col
from his genius. This was Vaslav Brozlc
a Bohemian. Dannot , the American , w
ono of his greatest pupils , though , but Dai
net's work Is original and does not she
any trace of Munkacsy's tutelage. "
Then Mr. Pelxotto went back to the ear
English days of portrait work"and compan
the products of Sir Thomas Lawrence , S
Joshua Reynolds and Hogarth with those
Rubens , Velasquez and Van Dyke on tl
continent. Bald he :

one with which wo are most familiar w
painted by Gilbert Stuart. This is t
Atheueum portrait in Boston. It is on
a medallion a bust In circular form. Y
co It on the n bills. Anybody comparl :
this with the face on the 2-ccnt posta
stamp can see the difference at once. T
latter has been engraved from the bust
Houdon , a French sculptor ; In fact , it w
made from a sculptured original. Washln

a life casting made , as Lincoln did lati
too , though some men of the present d
deem It on Indication of petty vanity
have a life sketch made of them. T
original casting of IlouJon's mask of Was
Ington is In the Metropolitan museum
Washington now.
"Tho reason for the variance of faces
the work of the old masters Is that thou ;
they were all academic In their treatme
they were not good draughtsmen. One hu
drcd years ago they were not so exact
the many details that are required for go

did not particularly require them to be i

Edouard Manet when he produced his figure

the exposition , called "Midsummer , " I think ;
at least It Is a midsummer scene.
"Then along came the Impressionists.
Their Idea was to sketch with n little dis
play of effort ns possible , though their
work required still more labor. It took labor
to conceal labor * Their products have a
Japanese effect. The main point was to make
It appear that tbo picture was drawn In an
Incredibly short period of time as an oft-
handed sketch , and yet be a perfectly true
likeness. "
On the point of rapid work , without par
ticular reference , though , to Impressionism ,
Mr. Pelxotto carelessly observed that his
.portrait of Secretary Gage , which was sent
here as part ot the government exhibit was
sketched In three and a half hours. Some
of hla portraits , like that of Nancy Allison
McKlnley , President McKinley's mother ,
have necessitated over a score of sittings.
The real orlgnator of the open-air system
of portraiture ho considered to have been
Edouard Manet. Bastion La Page's "Joan of
Aro" is a good demonstration of this kind
a of art , he said , as ho brought his comments
to a conclusion.
CATCHING THE : SAHUINE.
o
CurlonH ThliiKH About it Large anil
Profitable FUhcry.
The 1893 sardine is now on the market.
The fishing season begins early in Juno and
is now successful in places along the Atlan
tic coast and on Puget sound. V'ho ' coast : ot
Norway and Brittany , in France , are the
scones of the heaviest takes and the grade of
sardines obtained there are superior.
As soon as the fishermen notice shoals ot
porpoises or flocks of seagulls oft shore &al |
u Is inado immediately , for cue sardine Is
there.
g
; e A curious thing about this kind ot flshlni ;
Is that one rarely sees a living sardine out
of the water. The fish make a little squeak
when taken from the water and die In
stantly. Of the 250 or 30Q fishing boats fitted
o out at Belle Isle about 200 belong to I'alals
and the others to Sauzon.
' It Is In these two ports that the French
fishermen sell their fish. An ordinary catch
of sardines gives to each boat from 8,000 to
10,000 flsh and the price is regulated by the
quantity brought In by the first comers.
Seven francs a thousand is a fair price.
During the sardine season about 300
women and flf y men anxiously await the ar
rival of the first boats. If there are no flsh
there Is no work for them. When the news
arrives that the boats have their welcome
cargoes the women , In their picturesque cos
tumes , rush to tbo cannery llko a flock ot
frightened sheep and each takes her place
In the great room , where the flsh undergo
their first preparation.
Here the sardines are spread upon the ta
ble and sprinkled with salt. Then they are
cleaned and when the operation Is. finished
they are sorted by little boys and carried
Into another part of the establishment where
they are put In pickle.
After this the fish are washed and placed ,
one by one , with great care , upon wire nets ,
called "grills , " and put out to dry In the
open air. If the weather Is wet or even
foggy , this operation Is Impossible , and the
flsh spoil and become worthless , except for
fertilizing.
The tins in which the sardines are then
packed are carried into the oiling room ,
where the last manipulation consist * ot fillIng -
Ing them with oil. U la in this part ot the
establishment that tbo tomato sauce and the
spices are placed in the boxes which > slve to
the French preparation ot sardines their uni
versal renown.
In any one of the above Important estab
lishment ! the sardines are prepared and ex.
ported ten hours after coming out of the
water. Gourmets should never eat newly
prepared sardines. They have neither the
perfume nor the flavor of those which have
lain in the boxes for a year.

of the Ilcvolutlon.
On the 19th day of this month the stu
dents anil echool children all over thcso
United States will unite In doing honor to
ono of the greatest and moat beloved heroes
of all history , Governors of different states
have Issued proclamations setting aside
October 19th as "Lafayette Day" In atl the
1 Echools and educational institutions of the
country. This In compliance with a request
of the Special Lafayette- Memorial Commis
sion , organized by the United States Com-
tnlssloucr-Ocneral to the Paris Exposition
| and In response to the warm and earnest
persona' recommendation of President Me-
Klnlcv.
On this special day exercises of a patriotic
nature will be held In all the Institutions of
learning throughout the land , recalling the
} ) Df W T r-ARRI5 |
days of our early struggles for liberty and
the connection of generous and boyish La
fayette therewith , contributions to bo made
at the same time by the students and chil
dren to the fund which Is to erect a monument
ment to the gallant hero's memory.
Never before has a more praiseworthy
undertaking been adopted and , according to
reports received from Memorial headquar
ters , never had any such great assurance of
being so gloriously and successfully carried
out. School authorities all over America
have taken the matter up with patriotic en
thusiasm , and there Is not a hamlet or little
u'hlto school house In the land but what will
gather together Its small , but great con
tingent on the day mentioned and do Its
best to do the patriot honor , and contribute
its grateful portion to the fund which Is to
perpetuate his memory. Prom tbo great col
leges on the eastern sldo of our continent to
the little district school burled In the depths
of the western forest the day will be ob
served and the offerings of the youth of pur
country given over In the memory of Wash
ington's and America's friend.
PrcNlilent IJnilomeN the Movement.
President McKlnley has warmly endorsed
the movement and recommended It to the edu
cational officials and youth and school chil
dren of the countury.
"I havp read,1' writes the president In a
letter from the executive mansion to the
commission , "with much satisfaction the
plans already outlined for the proposed mon
umcnt to the memory of the great soldier
and patriot.
"The undertaking Is one In which I am
t'.iro It will bo considered a privilege to par
ticipate , and the Idea that the students In
the schools , colleges and universities shall
take a prominent part In this tribute will
not only bo of vast educational value as to
ono of the most important epochs In history ,
but will le p prominently before them the
inspiration of a high Ideal , of devotion to
great principles and of the public , recogni
tion paid to lofty purposes.
"General Lafayette was but a young man
when he espoused the cause of liberty and
Independence , overcoming well-nigh unsur-
mountable obstacles to do so. It Is alto
gether fitting , therefore , that the youth of
America should have a part In this testimo
nial to his goodness and greatpe.s.3 ,
"I am glad to note that your committee
has fixed a date when our people , In every
part of the country , may testify their inter
est in this proposed monument and their de
termination that the movement already be
gun shall achieve the greatest success. "
Lover of I.lherty.
What Lafayette dd | for America is familiar
to every school child. A boy of 19 , be , gave
up all his prospects of lyealth and high posi
tion in France to come to the aid of this
country when it was struggling for liberty ,
and that in Its very darkest hour , It was
when report came to Europe of great Amer
ican losses and reverses and English victories
that Laf .vette started cut , and in spite ol
the direct order of the French King and pro.
tests of wealthy relatives and royal friends ,
and notwithstanding arrest and delay and all
conceivable obstacle * which were put in his
way , set sail with eleven picked companions
far American shores , where ho fought until
American liberty was won ,
The battle of Drandywlne was the first cn-
cacemcnt lu which ho took port , and la
that bo was wounded in tbo Ice. As the
n > n retreated in disorder he threw hltrucif
on a horse , and riding Into the mldjt of iho
rout tried to rally the fleeing soldiers. Ho
dIJ not know ho was wounded until his at
tention waa called to the blood that
trickled from the bullet hole , and ho refused
to have the wound dressed until order had
been restored to the ranks. General Wash
ington commended Ills conduct to congress
and recommended that ho be given a sep
arate command.
Strong friendship had already sprung up
between the commander-ln-chlcf and the
young French volunteer , and It lasted
through life , Washington's enemies tried
to create a breach of the bond by placing
Lafayette in charge of an expedition to
Canada , but after waiting tuo months far
troops and supplies Lafayette was sent
south to guard Virginia. He had accepted
the Canadian appointment on the advlco of
Washington.
Ills conduct of the campaign In Virginia ,
While not brilliant , was soldierly , aiid the
retreat from Darren Hill was a splendid bit.
of military art. Lafayette played a principal
part In the capture of Corn wall Is at Yorktown -
town , which terminated his connection with
the American army. One of his chief serv
ices was In smoothing the differences which
arose from time to tlrno between the French
and American officers and troops.

Visits were made to the now republic by
