Now let us touch upon Ids theories on matters mtlstle and hoclal. which belong to the leading causes of Ids prominence. My dilTereut conversations witli him hav'o i.atlslled mo that ho considers it us much within tho at tint's sropo to render service to down tioddeu humanity ns tho clergyman's, tho writer's or tho professional philanthropist's. Ilodoes not say that w hen he started in to paint it was with a view to reforming mankind, but rertainly such would scent to bo the tendeiteV of his work. Ho is it realist, mid his realism Is of 11 canst ie kind. It Is n heroic medicine the use of which ho thinks instilled by tlio e.xtremelv diseased con dit Ion of tlio bod v social and politic. He limns war, for instance, in all Its naked horror. It is not glittering uniform 1 that wo see on hl.i canvases, not pretty ilgures on prancing steeds nor wounded warriors In theatrical poses. lie shows tlio reverse of tho picture tho wounded writhing In exquisite agony; tlio dying convulsed with tho last awful spasm, 'the dead rigid, dls memhered, hidcoun. Such workns this must necessarily i.pen tho eyes of tho un thinking mid diminish tlio natural lovoof tlio race for bloodshed and atrlfo Vcrcst chagln Is realistic In still another reuse. None of his paintings can bo called tho products of his Imagination, fur no depicts imlv Incidents witnessed by himself, nml when wo coutomplato 0110 of tho Central Asian scenes, for lit stance, wo feel it has been painted on tho spot. it Is in tlio domain ot religion Hint Vorestehagin's work has caused tlio most discussion. I'ollouing a logical iicmtouco, ho has not hesitated to depict i.ciipturul subjects, not as tradition tciulrcd, but ns ho understood them himself niter years of historical research mid 11 prolonged visit to the Holy Iind. Ho has departed from the lieatcu tracK 01 both nucletit and modern masters, and represents Christ with reddish locks mid strongly marked .Semitic features. Ho has also painted him In company with n family of brothers and sisters. In another picture, of which it sketch accompanies this letter, ho shows us the rtarlour In thu net of leaving tho tomb oil tho third day nfter tho crucillx Ion. The.so paintings wero exhibited In Vienna mid rnised n storm of opposition. Cardinal .Sanglbaur wrote it strong pas toral denouncing tlio "sacillego." Hut Veresteliagln bad an nnswer for ovory animadversion, and ho proved ho yoiid tho shadow of a doubt that the tombs of tlio Holy Iutul wero so con f,tructed that tho only means of egress was it liolo exactly largo enough to r.dmlt a supltin body. Still tho acrimoiilouu tin tureof tliodobatosecniBtoliavn Impressed him to some extent, for I seo thnt the 10 llglous paintings do not form 11 part of tho forthcoming exhibition. V. (Imuwr.DOFK. VIEWS ON 3ELF EDUCATION. I i:(tt Mlnil Mint Ho 111 Own f.tiinol limine. Ht I tlio All. After 11 youth has paawsl through the com mon school of country or clly, M-lf education Income not only Krlhlt but easy. Ho much dcK!tiih iihiii self that a eollego coum j valuable otilt s'lfaras Hut student exerts his own ni sonnl will tower nnd makes hitiixolf master of the situation. Colleges offer mi opiHirtttuity, but tliuy cannot mnko a M-holar ' cannot malso nil orator or n doctor era ttntcriiunii. Tho eollego professor feel hovr powerless ho It when the parent or guardian of a fashionable, 1 icli and Indolent lad intro duces tliU mortal to tlio teacher and ex presses a desire to have a man mado out of the well dix-sisst nnd woll fed tnntei I'll; hut when nn earnest, open faced, perhaps pov erty Mrlii.cn farmer loy has walked llfty miles to Hud 11 group of piofessors nnd 11 collection of Itoows, there Is Joy in the faculty, from tho president down to tho humblest tutor, because it young man hnscomo who can make n wiiolar out of himself. In tho llrst twelve years of life a school Is needed; In all tho remainder of life each mind must bo Its own school houso mid l.ccp Its ow 11 school. Theto nro many forms of human will and many Bindings of taste Often when tlio will power is great enough to bind a mind tj the dally tas't of a student tliero is not tneto enough In tho heart to call tho will power Into action. A Chicago man, who had ex hausted lovoaud money both in tho attempt to 11111I.0 his rou absorb in some manner tlio text Itool.s of tlio best Institutions, found at last, to Ids surprise and delight, that his son Hssessod 11 gieat tasto and talent in a drafts man ntul machinist. Ho eared nothing for Homer, but ho could mnko 11 locomotive. Hlneo this development took place the father has had a tcnccful timu of It, for his son Is running with great zeal along his own good path, t)no of tl.o finest surgeons hi tlio United Htntot went through 11 college, indeed, hut when ho graduated ho knew "httlo IjiMii and less Uivok," but them was not a medical work in tlio library ho had not had in his riHitn for steclnl study, and there was not 11 Itouo in tho room of anatomy which ho did not prl) nbovo it lesson in astronomy or surveying. Ono of tho ndvnntages of self education lies in tho fact that it permits a strong will to follow- 11 Krsoual tasto. An explanation of the grent succesj of tell of what are called self mado men may bo found in their free dom to follow tho path of most attractive ness. Many a mind U diverted by tho father or mother, or by tho dignity of a, college course or faculty, from tho channel for which nature lltted it, and thus a genius dies not of neglect but of too much attention. A writer In an American lot-low say..: "After 17 a recitation h a stultltleitttoa." Tlio writer evidently iitoins that when a stu dent has 1 cached that ago he should bo ah sorltcd In hi own business and should not tile, out to say a lesson In anatomy nr in cal culus when he hasou Ills table an untliilshcd e-way upon some themo in (tolitlcs or ethics. Whether this 1 enuirU nltotit the seventeenth year be true or net, it illustrates tlio thought that tlio best part of education is conducted by self nit her than by n tutor. If n man or n youth IIiuU hliuclf unable to go to college, he ntul not feci that nil is lost, or that half or n third Is lost. Self is the all. It Is that something which rimsiultovo tho schoolhoiiso. Professor David Swing lit Chicago Journal. Lonl DuUVrlu' Arlslnrrntlc ApiM-iinuicc.
