PAINTERS OP ROMANTICISM*

Marllhat la Thalr Inth,
No anchorite ever disdained the lux*
uries of life In better faith than the
enthusiasts of romanticism, says Tem
ple Bar. In the year 1832 a little band
of artists—true bohemlanB, long-haired,
cadaverous—extravagantly dressed in
all colors of the rainbow, encamped
themselves in a desolate quarter of
Paris. One comes suddenly from the
roar and turmoil of the streets into an
oasis of solitude and Silence; the ruins
of an old church make the place a sort
of sanctuary; the houses on each side,
once imposing, are dilapidated and
abandoned. In one of these an ample
lodging was found for those immoder
ate lovers of art to whom the consider
ation of personal well-being was quite
unimportant—who were more than con
tent to breakfast on an ode and to dine
on a ballad. One empty room of im
mense size, going rapidly to rack and
ruin, seemed especially fitted for their
needs and was soon turned into a tem
ple of the arts. Could the already
tumble-down place have possibly been
preserved to the present day, what a
mine of wealth, what priceless treas
ures it would have been found to con
tain, for the impromptu decorations
were undertaken by hands then quite
unknown but bound to emerge into the
full light of celebrity. Perched upon
ladders, a rose behind the ear, cigarette

Corot. produced two exquisite views of
Italy; below him Chassereau designed
a Diana bathing, where was slready in
dicated the almost savage grace and
freedom of his later works; Camille
Rogier covered the ceiling with oriental
fancies; Marilhat, Celeetln Nanteull,
Adolphe Leleux added their daring and
picturesque contributions, and, brush in
hand, these artists—themselves aspir
ing poets—recited verses from Hugo
and Alfred de Musset as a fitting ac
companiment to pictorial inspiration.
It was one of those scenes which mer
ited Carlyle’s fanciful description of the
Stirling club, *‘A little flowery Island
of poetic intellect.”
WOMEN OF THE WORLD.

Miss Margaret Creaswell receives

African coast. The first woman who
has received the permission of the min

lectures in the University of Munich
is Miss Ethel Gertrude Skeat, daughter
of Professor Skeat, the eminent philolo
gist. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, for

now in Venice. She has accepted the
invitation of the American Missionary
association to be one of the speakers at
the jubilee of the association in Boston
next October. Her subject will be
“Educational Equipment for Mission

in San Francisco recently held an in
teresting celebration on their common
birthday. Each one has a great-great
grandmother, one being 82 years old,
another 85, and another 89. None haa
lost a whit of her Intellectual ability
and all three drank gayly out of tea
cups 250 years old as they discussed
free thought and spiritualism with all
their old-time keenness. Major Ara

woman who was ever commissioned
regularly in the United States army.
She distinguished herself conspicuous

where she is known as Major Belle
Reynolds.
Thing* Were Going lo Tarn.
In front of a Dakota sod cabin Bat a
man about 60 years old who was
ragged and forlorn and hungry-look
ing. A few rods away lay the dead
body of a mule and beyond that was a
w agon with a broken wheel. There was
no smoke coming out of the cabin
chimney, no fowls or livestock about
and no other human beings to be seen.
“Well,” queried the man as I looked
about, “things look sorter lonesome,
eh?”
inaeea, iney do, sir. What's been
the matter with you?”
“Billyus fever."
“Where is the wife?"
“Inside the house with the —mn
thing.
“And the children?”
“Out thar behind the haystack shak
in’ with the ager.
“I see you’ve lost your mule.”
“Died two days ago, sir. Can’t
rightly say what ailed him, but he’s
gone.”
“I suppose you are dead broke on ton
of all?” I queried.
Haven’t got a red cent, sir, and
nuthin’ but cornmeal in the house,” he
replied.
“Well, I don’t blame you for feeling
b’/ie over the situation.”
“Who’s a feelin’ blue?”
“Why, 1 expect you are."
“Then you make a big mistake,
stranger. Things did look a little blue
last week, but three days ago I had
this ’ere farm cut up into 2,000 town
lots and arranged with a critter to
boom it, and I’m feelin’ like a steer in
a cornfield. Two thousand lots at $100
apiece, six railroads to cross yeare

churches, factories, parks, hotels—why’
durn my hide, but I list sot yere cal
kerlatin’ on startin’ five banks and
foundin' two or three orphan asylums

“Then I can’t aid you?”
“Jist a pipe o’ terbacker and a nip of
whisky, stranger, and you tell every
body down the road that ole Bill John

SAYINGS OF CPU NORTH.
Wanted Soma Now WoM* for Rta
Vocabulary,
The late Col. North, the nitrate
king, had a ready, it somewhat rough
style of wit peculiar to himself, says
the London World. The trap in which
he was seated being on one occasion
blocked In a crowded thoroughfare in
immediate juxtapostllon to a coster
monger’s cart laden with vegetables,
the coachman, finding that the horse
was about to help himself to the cab
bages would have basked the animal
out of harm’s way. “Let him grase,’*
said the colonel "I want to hear the
man swear!” The costermonger turn
ing his head around at this moment,
the colonel’s wish was promptly grat
ified by an exceptionally choice and ex
tensive selection of expletives. "Bravo,”
said North, as he threw the man a
coin that would more than have bought,
the whole cargo of vegetables. *T
thought I was pretty well educated In
your line myself, but hang me If you
haven’t taught me four new adjec
tives.” North, although fond of pic
tures, hated what one calls "doing gal
leries.” Once, being pressed to go and
see a picture after Rubens, he quickly
replied: "After Rubens! Why, surely,
Rubens was the brute they were after
last year when you dragged me in
here. Haven’t they caught the old cuss
yet?” The colonel loved children, bht
was not wildly keen on kissing babies
miscellaneously. Once, being implor
ed by a handsome lady to kiss an ex
ceptionally unwholesome-looking in
fant, of which the mother stated her
self to be the living image. "Well, here
goes for the image,” said North, and
he forthwith Imprinted a sounding kiss
on (be fair mother’s cheek. -
NEW YORK FOOD SUPPLY.
Enough on Band to Withstand a Wour
Voath*' Slag*.
It the city of New York and the
neighboring district were to he be
sieged or in some other way entirely
cut off from the outBlde world, and
therefore deprived of the food supplies
which in normal times come in dally
in large quantities, how long would it
be before the pinch of hunger would be
felt? That is a very hard question to
answer, tor the reason that there are
such Inequalities of purchasing capac
ity in New York society that some go
hungry in times of greatest prosperity
for lack of means, while the great ma
jority eat more than is good for them.
Undoubtedly the number of those who
always go hungry would be Increased
after two or three days of a siege, and
then day by day this number would in
crease until the public authorities
would feel compelled to take possession
of the food supplies and distribute them
among the people. With the exception
of milk and some other things the sup
ply of meat, poultry, hardy vegetables
and fruits would lant for two months
at the present rate of consumption. If
all the supplies were taken charge of at
the beginning of a siege—and this
could easily be done—the food within
New York could be made to last for
four months at least. The siege of Paris
lasted only four months. Before two
months had passed high and low, rich
and poor, had learned what hunger was;
And, as is well known, the French are
the most thrifty and economical people
in the world. In the arrangement and
disposition of food the Parisians are
especially distinguished. But the food
supply in New York could be made to
last as long as the Paris siege lasted,
and the people would still be comfort
able.—Ladies’ Home Journal.
Knulana Bait Armenian*.
The Russian people cared a great
deal about the Bulgarians; they do not
care at all about the Armenians.
Englishmen are apt to be puzzled by
this difference of attitude; they would
find it more intelligible if they bore in
mind the place that religion holds in
the Russian mind. The Bulgarians be
longed to the same church—the Rus
sian peasant does not trouble himself
about "autocephalous” distinctions—
the Armenians do not belong to the
church at all. They are monophyslto
heretics, and though the peasant prob
ably thinks that it might he better that
they should get their punishment from
the orthodox czar than from the Mus
sulman Turk, he is not greatly concern
ed that they should get it. This is an
example of Indifference originating in
religious diversity, just as the last war
with Turkey was an example of sym
pathy originating in religious agree
ment; but it serves equally well to en
force the paramount part that religion
plays in the formation of Russian
popular opinion.

A writer In the New York Ledger
says:
“I think the superb health of my fam

it we have of almost living in sunshine.
Every bright day all the shutters are
open, and the entire house gets the
benefit of sunlight. It drives away
dampness, mold, microbes, and blue

sanitary conditions and darkness. Even
my cellar is as light as I can make it;
and whatever fruit and delicacies need
to be shut away from light, I put in
close cupboards or covered boxes.”

There Is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s

Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of. the
Burton House, Burton, W. Va., and ntu
of the most widely known men in tin
stale, was cured of rheumatism after
three years of suffering. He says: "I
have not sufficient command of lan
guage to convey any idea of what 1
suffered. My physlciaus told me that
nothiug could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that noth
ing but death would relieve me. of my
suffering. In June, 1894, Mr. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. At Ibis time my foot and limb
were swolen to more than double their
normal size and it seemed to me my leg
would burst, but soon after I began
using the Pain Balm the swelling began
to decrease, the pain to leale, and now I
consider that I am entirely cured. For
