If not already sold, tho money is gladly accepted and tho tourist goes on his way rejoicing, and ever afterward telU tho talo of Lo-.t ho tucw a good picture when ho saw it.

It i.s a very cairious sight on a copying day tit any of tbo largo Eurojiean treasure bouses to wander about the galleries and observe tbo numbers engaged at their work. .Not leiid interesting is it to study the character istics of the crowd. Old men and maidens, young men aud a few children, with an occasional old maid or two thrown in, are all to le found there-. Here an old man maybe a disappointed artist with rusty clothes, is doing bu best to make a telling picture from a Ilaphael. Iloforo another great work a sprightly young artist has planted his easel and canvas, and by the vigorous work ho is doing shows that his life will not bo doomed to a perpetual existence of copying. He prolably, like that young girl over there transferring a Velasquez to her ennvas, is working two or three dnys a week to make money either to continue bis studies or supply models for bis own pictures which are to take hoaors nt .Burlington house, the Salon or elsewhere. Then there aro the regular copyists who make this reproducing cit pictures their sole occupation of life, having to sell mostly to the dealers, but ever ready to make a better halo with an outside purchaser. Children, accompanied by adults, are also to be found trying to copy 1:1 eiicil and occasionally in coior, and these, with those who study for pleasure or instruc tion by copying from the great masters, oloe the list of the many beings who tans pass souio of their time. A liirgo munlx-r of people think that to copy a picture ii comparatively an easy thing aud re piires no grezit amount of train ing. To give an idea of color and drawing in one's own stylo of painting may not bo so 1i:Ilc"ult, but to reproduce a subject in ex actly tl.e saino manner the original artist painted it means a great deal inure. There ire two ways of copying. First, by u-iing pigments which will give the color of the picture as ft now id ; and second, by trying to imagine bow th subject really looked win n it was fresh and new from the puint r's band und tri-utiiig the copy so, then ly meaus of gl:ua;s and varnishes, etc., naki::g it appear iuito as old as tho original. In the lirst instance many colors now in ordinary use have to be discardpd and the few known of in th'se days used. But knowing, or rather underM nditig, lxth thee method means but half tho liattlo. Tho copyist lias 1r study the tochr.iiiue of tho artist whose work he wishes to reproduce, that is, how be gt.-t hi.; edects, bandied his brushes and other minuti-e. Some few can imbibe so much of the original painter's technique that were they to paint a jrtrait or some such picture the IlnL-hcd work might almost be taken as coming fruiu the baud of a man dead long years ago. rOR A LIVELIHOOD. Among the tuauy copying fur their liveli hood there are a few who ppend the greater jvart of their tinio in reproducing one or two picture. They have acquired tho necessary 1-eculiar bmshworv aud color for these pict ures, aud their work when finished, except for its freshness and being on a smaller can vas, could hardly be distinguished from the original. Generally, these copyists are noted and their productions bring them good prices. But apart from the monetary side, their lives must be wautiug in intereft. Me chanically they draw, working alway by g-juares, mechanically they paint, ever using 1 lie same quantity of this or that pigment. js a machine, they take no notice of any one around thero, and if they are interrupted or questioned they mechanically reply. As directly opjosed to the old stagers, let us glance at the many ladies who come tc these galleries to study and to enjoy them selves. There are a few very regular attend ants, grim old maids, with whom, for the present, we will have nothing to do. Wha wo want to see are the pretty young girl , 'well dressed and wearing becoming little aprons, who wrestle with a Turner or strug gle with a F-aphael, and between whiles run off to caca others' places to have a little chat, T7uo lika to get into difficulties aDd have cliaimin young artists come and offoT to help tlieia out of their troubles, and flirt with them n little to repay them for their trouble Tco much of this sort of thing catmot bo iadu!ged ia, as there are guardians tJweys about who have to see that those who make us-3 of the privilege of copying in th3 gallery do not abuse it. It is undoubtedly a privilege, and not every one can obtain it. . To euable oe to do so an application, has to be m&da to the proper authorities, some specimens cf previous work submitted, and, f a foreigner, c letter from the embassador or cousul, asking admission on behalf of tha applicant. This permission onco obtained i3 Availablo for a vholo lifetime, subject, of course, to tho strici adherenco to ail rules cud regulu:ions relating to copying. Tho only one I uesd draw pi-tidlar attention to Is the oua in force all over i-urope to provide against; 0117 picturo being cpijd on a sirci lar sied canvass to the original. Many of th foreign galleries do not permit of more than ouo coyy being maJe from a picture, end this being CmsheJ tho ticiet i3 of no racro use. Loudon Cci San Francisco Circaiclo.

Mr. Kennedy took me in ohargo early, and r.n tho wharf tho hhudy nido of the shi-d pzivn mo the account t t he l.un ui.i lnisiinH t lint I fJiall try to reproduce. 1 cannot do lt'-tt'r than imagine that the n adcr isnlout t' settle in Jamaica to engage in raising buuanas, and that I m telling him what 1 liavo learned about the industry. The land tiM'd is likely to lie either 1111 un;:.-e 1 fcugar estate, or what is kiiouu in Jamaica n 'ruinate;" that is, land that hzis stoyl idle long tiint it ha3 loconie overgrown with tail buslies and f-iuail tree. The first cost of land of the latter sort is of course much lesx, but the exjieuse of clearing it i- s much greater that it is doubtful win ther good cul tivable lund is not cheajx-r in tho end. Tho ground having been cleared and plowed, banana "nickers'' are set out, tho distance lift ween them leiending very much tqion the quality of the laud. In from ten to fourteeu months after plant ing tho tree bus reached its full size, ten to twelve feet in height, the stalk then being alxjut eiht inches in diameter at tho base, au.l the bunch of fru it is ready to cut for shipment. The fruit is always cut while yet reen, and each ht.alk produces only one Lunch. When the fruit is cut that, is the end of that ttalk, and ttio stalk is cut down. Fruth "suckers"' are produced from tho roots, how ever, and several of these are allowed to Crow for the next crop. For the lirt few months a good deal of cultivation is necessary in tho banana field to keep it clear of weeds, but when the stalks gro and the leaves be gin to spread they effectually choke down tho weeds, and little more attention ts needed. From .10 to o0 un acre is a fair estimate of tho cobt of plowing, planting and cultivating for ono year, but where tho land has to be cleared of trees this increases tho cost con siderably. Onco started, the plantation is good for five or six years without much fur ther labor beyond keeping it clear of weeds at certain seasons. But the banana planter La3 a deadly foe in tho hurricanes and high winds that frequently sweep over tho West Indies. Tho bunnna tree has very small roots and is easily knocked over. Some times even with nothing worse than a lively "norther" an entire plantation is destro3"ed in an hour, and there is nothing for it but to start over again. As to the risks and profits, S r. iveunedy says: "From my experience I do uot think tho banana yields the planter a very large profit, though there are excep ' ions to the rule. A tropical hurricano will sweep a banana cultivation level with the ground in an hour. Besides these hurri canes, we usually have very strong winds, (northers) during tho winter months, that often blow down acres of bananas. Tho tree is easily blown down, especially when it has a largo bunch of bananas banging from its top. Were it not for these great drawbacks, planting bananas would bo a prolitablo in vest rucnt. It is important that a planter understands tho business, and kuows how to ft'ork tho Jamaica labor." William Di-ys-Jale in New York Times. The Ilurdoii of Criminal Exile. It is manifest, I think, that when a flood cf 10,003 vagrants, thieves, counterfeiters, burglars, highway rob! ers and murderers is pourea into a colony, the class most injurious to the welfare of tiint colony is the liberated class. If a burglar or a thief issent to Siberia and shut up iu prison, bo is no more danger ous to society thero than ho would bo if bo wcro imprisoned ia Furopcan Russia. Tho lace of his confinement is immaterial, be-:-au:i'j Lo has no opportunity to do evil. If, lio-.vovt.-r, Lo is sent to Siberia and thero '.urned loose, bo resumes his criminal activ ity, aud Incomes at once a menace to social order and security. For more than half a century tho people of ."Siberia have been groaning under tho heavy burJcn of criminal exile. More than two tLiriL. of all tho crimes committed in the colui'.y are committed by common felons who have been transiorted thither aud then set at liberty, and tho jieasaiits everywhere aro becoming demoralized by enforced asso ciation with thieve3, burglars, counterfeit ers and embezzlers from the cities of Euro pean Russia. The honest and prosperous in habitants of tho country protest, of course, against a system which liberates every year, at their very doors, an army of 7,000 worth less characters and felons. They do not ob ject to tho hard labor convicts, becauso the latter aro shut up iu jails. They do not ob ject to the political and religious exiles, be cause such offenders frequently make the best of citizens. Their protests aro a?med particularly at the compulsory colonists. Georgo Keunau in The Century. Danger of Malaria iu Cities. It is a common idea that greater risk is run from this cause of disease in the country than in towns and cities, but thero are strong rea sons for doubting that such is the case, so far as any unhealthy influence of tho country it self is concerned. If a farm house be placed tn a low, swampy situation and a town in a similar locality the dwellers in the one will be no moro liable to malarious diseases than the inhabitants of the other. In large cities, where the ground is being constantly turned up for the purpose of laying water and gas mains, constructing sewers or for any one of tho hundred other purposes for which a con tinual upheaval of the pavements goes on, diseases of malarial origin will almost con stantly abound. Some parts of New York city, or of Philadelphia, for instance, are nearly as full of malaria as are the worst parts of Florida. Thero is nothing, there fore, to be gained in this respect by a hasty re turn from the seashore or tho mountains to the pent up atmosphere of a large town in which excavations of some kind or other are at cer tain seasons of the year carried on with more than usual vigor. Dr. Wm. A. Hammond in New York World. Mental Effects of the Weatlier. It is curious to think how indifferent are same people to those atmospherical changes which so signally affect the health and tem per of others. You will seo one man of a rainy day, or a cold day, so transformed from good nature to acidity and bitternes? that Lis beat f rieDcls -would fain get out oi Lis way at least till the "wind changes. r Thoso of less sensitive organization hav Utile patience and less pity for what they cannot understand; yet this unfortunate class aro not for that reason to be shut out in tho cold till they "come to." A little sym pathy some cheerful topic of conversation adroitly introduced some pleasing b'ttlc personal attention at the right moment and lo I the mental clouds disperse, and all again is sunshine.

We whl not fall to keep our ledges because tl ey have broken theirs, or bcause their candidate has broken his. We therefore repea our declaration of Ixh-i, tovvit. : The reform of civil service auspiciously begun under republican administration .should be Completed by ji further extension of th reform svstem already established by law to all grades of the service low hieh it is applied. The spir it and purpose of reform should he observed in all executive appointments, and all laws at varience with the object of existing reform leg islation should be repealed, and that the dan gers to free institutions which lurk In the pow er cf offend patronage may be wisely and ef fet tivc.ly avoided. The gratitude of the nati -n to the defenders of the union cannot be assured except bv laws. The legislation of congress should conform to the pledges made by a loyal p"op'e. and be so enlarged and extended as to prov'de against the possibility that any man who honornbly w- re the federal uniform shall beeoiee sin In mate of an almshouse or dependent on rivate charlfv. In the presence of an overflowing treasury it would b" a public scandal to do less for those whose valorous service preserved the government. We Cenour.ce the hostile spirit shown by President Cleveland in his numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the democratic house of representa tives In refusing even consideration of general pension legislation. In support of the principles herewith enun ciated we invite the co-operation of patriotic men of all parties, especially of all working men whose prosperity Is seriously threatened by the free trade policy of the present admin istration . The first eoi cern of 11 good government is the virtue and sobriety of the People nnd the purity of their homes.
