PAINTERS OP ROMANT1QI8M*
Corot* Chauoroati, Camilla, Roglar gad
Marllhat la Tholr Youth*
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 bohemians, 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
in mouth, the peintres romantiques
produced masterpieces of genius. On
narrow panels high above his head,
Corot produced two exquisite views of
Italy; below him Chassereau designed
a Diana bathing, where was already in
dicated the almost savage grace and
freedom of his later works; Camille
Rogler covered the celling with oriental
fancies; Marllhat, Celestln 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 OP THE WORLD,
Four Honored and Three Gifted With
Lone Life.
Miss Margaret Creaswell receives
$3,500 a year for acting as postmistress
In Gibraltar. The Gibraltar mail can
not be very heavy, for Miss Cresswell
at the same time acts as superintend
ent of all the postofllces on the North
African coast. The first woman who
has received the permission of the min
ister of public instruction to attend
lectures in the University of Munich
is Miss Ethel Gertrude Skeat, daughter
of Professor Skeat, the eminent philolo
gist. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, for
mer president of Wellesley college, is
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
ary Service.” Three active spiritualists
in San Franciseo 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 has
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
bella Macomber Reynolds is the only
woman who was ever commissioned
regularly in the United States army.
She distinguished herself conspicuous
ly in the late war, but now lives in a
quiet little town on the Pacific coast,
where she is known as Major Belle
Reynolds.
Thins* Ware Going lo Tarn.
In front of a Dakota sod cabin sat a
man about 50 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
wagon 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?”
“Indeed, they do, sir. What's been
the matter with you?”
“Billyus fever.”
“Where is the wife?”
“Inside the house with the same
thing.
"And the children?”
“Out thar behind the haystack ahak
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.”
x suppose you are aeaa broke on top
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’iie over the situation.”
“Who’s a feelin’ blue?”
"Why, I 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 Jist sot yere cal

“Then I can’t aid you?”
“Jist a pipe o’ terbacker and a nip of

SAVINGS OP COt. NORTH.
Bo Wanted Bout Haw Words for Hta
Vocabulary.
The late Col. North, the nitrate
king, had a ready, if 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 Juxtapostilon 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 backed the animal
out of harm’s way. "Let him graze,”
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. "I
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, but
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 the fair mother's cheek.
NEW YORK FOOD SUPPLY.
Eioi|h on Band to Wltkitoad s Four
Months’ Slogs.
If the city of New York and the
neighboring district were to be be
sieged or in some other way entirely
cut off from the outside world, and
tnereiore deprived of the rood 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, for the reason that there are
such Inequalities of purchasing capac
ity in New York society that some go
hungry In timea 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 at 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 Freneh 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.

about “autocephalous" distinctions—
the Armenians do not belong to the
church at all. They are monophysite
heretics, and though the peasant prob
ably thinks that it might be 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

A writer in the New York Ledger
says:
“I think the superb health of my fam
ily is to a great extent due to the hab
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
devils, and puts us all in good humor
and health. I cannot Imagine good
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.”

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy Condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre
quent desire to urinate, or pain iu the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WtfAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder, and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine aqd
scalding pains in passing it, or bad
effects following the use of liquor, yrine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most destressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may bave a

Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, W. Va., and one
of the most widely known men in the
state, 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 physicians told me that
nothing could be done for me, and my
friends were fully convinced that noth
ing but death would relieve me of my
suffering. In June, 1804, Mr. Evans,
then salesman for the Wheeling Drug
Co., recommended Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm. At this 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
UBing the Pain Balm the swelling began
to decrease, the pain to leale, and now I
consider that I am entirely cured. For
