A certain, picture painted during tho laat years of the second French empire by the artist Schenck, has lately been bought by an American gentleman for a considerable sum. This picture was shown at the Salon. It represented simply a lot of donkeys deliberating gravely around a table covered with preen cloth. It was a very olever and amusing picture, and took the public fancy. The Princess Mathilde, sister-in-law of the emper or .was pleased with it and had made arrangements to buy it, when It w*b noised about that the painting was intended to satirize the privy council of the emperor. This stepped the sale of it at once, either to the princess or to any other of the rich people of the time who were in sym pathy with the court. After this the picture went from pillar to post, and finally brought up at a sale exhibition in Munich. Here it was seen by the empress of Austria, who was so much pleased with it that she began negotiations for its purchase. At this stage of the proceedings, how ever, it was whispered to the empress that the canvas represented the royal eouncil of Bavaria. “In that case,” said the empress, “I shall not buy it; I do not want any political pictures.” It is not known how many more royal councils the painting of the donkeys was taken to represent; but after more than twenty-five years of vicis situdes it has come to America under the name of “Napoleon Ill’s Privy Council” THE IDEAL lARM. ■VrailnniH, u Wail as Beauty, an Important Bnt Bare Feature. “I find great difficulty in getting a model with good arms,” said a well known sculptor recently. “It is as tonishing how few women there are with arms that conform to the stand ard. A perfect arm, measured from the wrist joint to the armpit, should be twice the length of the head. The upper part of the arm should be large, full and well rounded. There should be a dimple at the elbow. The fore arm must not be too flat, not nearly so flat as a man’s, for instance. “From a well-molded shoulder the whole arm should taper in long, graceful curves to a well-rounded wrist. It is better to have an arm that harmonizes, even if the parts do not conform to the generally ac cepted lines. For instance, a full, round upper arm which is joined to a fiat or thin arm has a very bad effect. Perhaps it is only a little worse, how ever, than a graceful, well-molded forearm tacked to a thin, scrawny upper arm. “Correctness of form is not the only thing necessary for a good arm. The owner must possess the power of ex pression with her arms. 'American women are deficient in this as a rule. Those nationalities which show the most expression in their arms are the Spahish, French and Italians. The warmest admirer of Sarah Bernhardt would not claim that she had beauti ful arms, yet no one can say that the divine Sarah ever appears ungainly in consequence. Much more lies in the faculty of arm expression than is gen erally supposed.” GENERAL GRANT'S TOMB. U the Work Is BrogreMlng Slowly It Is Being Bone Well.

G. Graham of Chicago. “I have a watch of the old-fashioned typo, which I always carry with me wherever I go; first, because it's a curiosity, and secondly, because it is a gift from a muoh be loved friend. Well, thiB watch has a habit of running ahead of time. In my own city, or in St. Louis, for ex ample, it gains five minutes in every twenty-four hours. This is notice able, because it means nearly two hours a month. I have a way of let ting it run for a length of time, say six months, so that it regulates itself praotically in that time. It manages to make abont twelve hours, and when a timepiece is that much ahead of, or behind, time it is just as good as if it were perfeot. A short while ago I was compelled to visit Philadelphia, from which city I am just returning. During my stay there the watch lost five minutes a day, and the loss was as regular as the gain was in Chicago or in your city. I have a theory npon the subject. I be lieve that the movements of a man have more or less effect upon a watch. Now, almost every man read ily falls into the ways and gait of his fellows. In Chicago or in St. Louis every man likes to be five minutes ahead of time. In Philadelphia everyone says, “Well,- there's no hurry: five minutes behind time will make no difference,’ and from this follows that slow, easy gait which is the most striking characteristic of the Quaker city. It would seem the watches keep time in the same fash ion, as if in sympathy with their owners. So you Bee there is pretty good reason for the allegation with regard to Philadelphia's proverbial slowness.” JAPANESE PATRIOTISM. Homely Incident Showing on Old Wo* man's Love for Her Country. A homely incident is related in one of the Japanese journals which is not without a touch of pathos. Kuriso is the name of one of the lesser stations on the northern route, the nearest village of any importance being known as Higashi Nasu-no mura, a little place of less than 500 inhabitants. As many trains have lately been bringing soldiers down from the northern provinces, and as these trains have invariably to stop a while at Kuriso, the people of the above-named village thought this an excellent opportunity to turn an hon est penny by selling articles of food, tobacco, etc., to the soldiers en route. There was one old woman, how ever, who had a bigger conception of her duty and what was owing to the defenders of her country than any of her fellow villagers. Parting with everything she could spare she spent all the result in buying a large quan tity of chestnuts. These were then made into that kind of cake known as kachikuri This done, the old woman carried the cakes to the trains whenever they bore soldiers south ward and presented each man with some of the sweets she had sacrificed so much to procure. She accompanied each little gift with a bow and the wish.“Conquer in battle and come back to Japan .vic torious and nnwounded.” The sol diers were much touched by her sim ple words and artless demeanor and wonld have given her money, but she positively refused to receive anything in return for the loyal offerings. A Tongue Twister. Among the literary curiosities of which Boston is justly the proud pos sessor is the following jawbreaker, framed and hung in the old South church in that city: “Wutappesittuk qussunnookwehtunquoh.” This word, so far as known, has never been pro nounced by a white man, but occurs in Eliot’s Indian bible, and is found in Mark’s gospel, first chapter and fortieth verse, and according to that means “kneeling down to Him.” If the brave red man had thrown such chunks of wisdom at the forefathers instead of dull arrow heads and way side stones, probably American his tory wonld have been written in a different key. Stevenson's Kovels Are Mescaline. It is a noteworthy fact that the late Robert Louis Stevenson’s stories are almost entirely lacking in the femi nine element Women plays only the most insignificant part in his plots; they are the merest supernumeraries on his stage, and it is one of the many striking proofs of his genius that he is able both to create and sus tain an intense interest without the aid of a heroine, an adjunct usually regarded as indispensable in fiction. In “Prince Otto" Stephenson made his almost sole attempt to portray the complex character of a woman, bat without marked success. Live Snake In Solid Stone. A live snake in a cavity in a solid, stratified stone is an oddity reported to have been found by a railroad con struction gang in charge of Matt Mc Laughlin of Beaver halls, Pa. The snake was of some unknown striped variety, about ten inches in length, and unusually lively and vicious. The geologist who examined the egg shaped cavity in which this particular ophidian was found, and who declares that the cavity had no possible com munication with the outside world, assigns it to a period which would make the snake at least 10,000 years old. __ 7 he Vegetarian and the Lady. “Meat eating makes one irritable and unreasonable.

Th* Log1 Q*bln Colltga SottlmMI to to* HotaUlu of North Carolina. The latest movement in feminine philanthropy Is the log- cabin col lege settlement proposed for ereo tion In the mountains of North Caro lina, not very far from the famous Vanderbilt eastle. Miss Chester, a sister of the organ master of St. George's church, and who spends the greater part of evory year in the North Carolina wilds, has offered her idea for development among the earnest young women in New York who would be interested in the men tal and moral advancement of their mountain sisters. She has found them, she says, as needy In spiritual and intellectual elevation as the wo men of the slums. Education and the refining influences have not yet pen etrated to those barren but beautiful regions, where ignorance unhappily does not produce the bliss of sim plicity or a wholesome, robust, and pastoral existence. Therefore the necessity of carrying some light to the women of the isolated uplands. The plan is to build a flue, large log cabin, fill it with good books, pictures, and the suggestion of what the mountaineer’s wife and daughter could do in the way of softening and refining even her crude surroundings. The gospel of teaching through friendly Intercourse is to be closely adhered to as in the slums, with a broader soope for the best sort of phil anthropic work than has yet been found anywhere in this country. The mountain women are, first of all, Americans; they are not unintelli gent, they have strong and correot principles of.duty, and if rightly ap proached, Miss Chester and those who share the log cabin have every prospect of finding more rapid response to their improving sugges tions than the foreign-bred class in the city ever gave. compressed wood. A Practical and Inexpensive Substitute for Certain Sorts of Hard Wood. The advance in the price of some of the hard woods required in various special branches of trade has directed attention to the possibility of produc ing some less expensive material as a substitute, and in one branch of trade this has been carried out with very successful results. For the manu facture of loom shuttles boxwood has hitherto been very largely used, but the price of this kind of wood has be come almost prohibitive, and it has been found that by compression of cheaper classes of timber—teak being about the most suitable for this pur pose—a substitute meeting all the re quirements can be obtained. For carrying out this purpose a Manchester firm has just com pleted a powerful hydraulic press to be used in compressing timber for loom shuttles. The press consists of a strong cast iron top and bottom, with four steel columns and a steel cylinder, with a large ram. In the center of this ram is fitted a sim ilar one, with a rectangular head, fit ting into a die which is placed on the top of the large ram. The timber is put into this die, and a pressure of fourteen tons per square inch is ap plied. The pressure is then relieved, and the large ram descends. The top pressure block, which fits the die, is then removed, and the small ram, rising, pushes the timber out at the top of the die. The timber so treated: is made very dense and uniform, and so close grained that it is capable oC taking a very high finish. For the manufacture of shuttles it has been found as good as boxwood, and thes»e is no doubt it will be applied to otiME branches of industry where expetHi sive hard woods have to be used. Hop Bad!. In the good old colony times, and even later, the hop pillow was pre scribed for sleeplessness, and now it is a hop bed which is to cure insom nia, to use the word exhumed from Plantus to serve the needs of pathol ogy. The hop bed is about as com fortable as the corn-husk mattress of the country farm-house, but it is fondly supposed to bring slumber. Hops and skips are natural compan ions, so it may be proper to say here that a London doctor introduced skip 1 ping as a form of exercise especially adapted to professional women who have not much time. Imagine a com pany of teachers, actresses, female doctors, artists, with a stray female minister, perhaps, skipping merrily through a public street! Cleopatra’s forty paces of hopping would be a trifle by comparison. A Chanco for larantora. “I dare say,” remarked Mr. Bill tops. “that sometime somebody will make a fortune by inventing1 some thing that will enable us to get a straight part in our hair the first time. Everybody knows that often though we try and try again the part still looks more like a zigzag streak of lightning than a straight part, and we lose much time in this way, and sometimes we lose our temper. What a blessing the hair parter will ,be, a simple and inexpensive contrivance that will need to be passed over the head but once, giving a straight part every time.” A Sadden Rise la Prices. Maurice Thompson tells of a certain buyer of sheep who went into the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, where the following dramatic inci dent took place between him and a grim mountaineer who had one ewe for sale: Buyer—That ewe is worth about seventy-five cents.
