Y I fi0Fmll ' S J her kind imitation 9 a ISeatliia; Ills Way Around the World. An American from IJnhton has reached Paris on a voyage around the world, 'Ifrsonally conducted" by himself under entirely novel circniiiHlances. IIi avowed object is to complete the whole trip without the expenditure of any money whatever, and, according to his own statement, lie hart already crossed the ocean and vinited England and Ger many in accordanco with the conditions of hirt belf imposed task, which also con tains the tjtipiilation that he niunt do no work on the voyage. Needless to say that otir traveler's rather unusual methods do not meet with the approval of all the hotel keejer8 whom he honors with his custom, and in' Berlin he under went one mouth's imprisonment for fail ing to pay his bill. The only wonder is that this unnsual kind of traveler does not Kjiend most of his time in jail, but, needless to say, he is gifted with an unlimited supply of what may bo lest described as "self confidence," and is a past master in the peculiarly American art of "bluffing." As he himself puts it, "If I can only make a man laugh I've got him!" and certainly there is a sublime assurance about his system which must force a Binile even from his victims. Our cir cumnavigator has, of course, not set himself any particular route for his voyage, as ho is dependent on "free passes," and has to be content with what he can get in that direction. Thus, to reach Paris from Berlin as the railway companies declined to oblige him Mr. Cook traveled via Bremen and London, lie is now hoping to reach the Riviera, but what his itinerary will be is a mattei of conjecture even to himself. Paris Cor. London Telegraph. Killed by a Skyrocket. An impromptu celebration that was held in honor of the arrival of a delega tion of Turners from Freeport, Ills., was suddenly brought to a close by the al most instant killing of a man. A sky rocket, supjKj.sed to have been set off by a crowd of young boys, penetrated his forehead, and part of the stick was broken off and left imbedded in his binin. As the procession reached the cornel of Blue Island avenue and Polk 6treet Philip Knopp, who had lx;en watching the parade from the sidewalk, was struck by a skyrocket. The man's head and face were covered with blood, and Officer Halle, calling assistance, carried him into a neighboring drugstore. Dr. Lahey was summoned, and Knopp was sent at once to the county hospital. On the way Dr. Lahey extracted part of the stick, eight inches in length and three eighths of an inch square. It had en tered just above the right eye, and had gone through the brain until the end was blunted against the back of the skull. Knopp lived only a few moments. Chicago News Record. Cowboy Sailors Not Just the Thing:. Captain Hanson, of the new schoonei Spray, on her maiden voyage from the Suislaw river, in Oregon, had a lively experience with cowboy sailors. With six of this new variety the captain put to sea. Hardly had he got outside when a strong southeast gale came up. The schooner oiled fearfully and the cow boys became terribly sick and lay in a heap in the forecastle perfectly helpless. The captain and his mate succeeded in lowering the foresail, and with the main- ail and jibs set the schooner was driven before the gale at a terrific rate. Sev eral seas were shipped and one of tht cowboys was washed against the lumbei on deck, breaking his leg. When the weather moderated the captain put into Port Townsend, where the injured cow lioy sailor was sent to the Marine hos pital. Two sailors were engaged and the schooner made the trip down in twelve daj-s. The five cowboy sailors have decided not to go to sea any more. San Francisco Chronicle. Rig Rills for Witnesses. Dr. G. De F. Smith lias filed a claim against the city for $500 for services ai an expert witness for the people in tht trial of Carlyle W. Harris, the medica. student, for the murder of his wife Helen Wilson Potts Harris. Professor Witthaus, the chemical ex pert who made the analysis of the coa tents of the dead woman's stomach, has filed with the district attorney a bill oi $5,000 for that service. Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, anothei expert witness in the case, has collected a bill of $1,500 for his services, and other bills from expert witnesses have been filed which bring the total cost of the expert testimony for the people up to $ 9,000. - The bills of the medical experts who testified in the trial of E. M. Field ag gregate $4,000, and none of them has yet been paid. New York Evening Sun. A Queer Story of Two Apple Trees. About sixty-four years ago Thomas Carr, living near Medora, in Jackson county, set out an apple orchard on his farm, about one-half mile southwest oi Aliddleville, and having two apple trees left he gave them to his sons, John F. and G. W. The boys set these trees out ong the fence, near the orchard, and they both grew well. John was the first to die, and on the day he died hi ? tree fell. G. W. lived to be an old man, became known as a colonel, was chairman of the convention that framed the present constitution of Indiana and died only a few days aso at Crawfords- ville. It is a coincidence that his tree also fell on the same dav he died. Cor. Indianapolis Journal. Food for Hot Weather. The foods that are converted into heat that is, keep up the heat of the body are starches, sugar, and fat ; and those that more particularly nourish the ner vous and muscular system are the albu men and salts. The largest proportion of summer food should consist of green vegetables, cooked or as salads : white or lean meats, such as chicken, game, rabbits, venison, fish, and fruits. Dr. N. E. Ycrke Da vies in Popular Science Monthly. KngltaH and Aanerleao Land Owim ' There is a constant feud between the suburban residents and the Sunday ex cursionist". The suburban resident goes to New York in the morning and goes back in the afternoon, except on San day, when he stays at home. It would suit him if" the Sunday train service were almost entirely btopped, except one morning train out into the country and one evening train back to let hia per sonal friends go out and spend the day with him. The Sunday excursionist represents to him a concentration jot the destructive forces of mankind, so he goes to Tuxedo or Wave Crest or some reservation where excursionists are not permitted to go, and when he gets rich enough he builds a place in the midst of grounds wide enough to hide him from the road, and puts out watch men to prevent people he does not want from coming in and tramping on the grass. This is more an American than an English feeling. In England almost all of the show country places are open to visitors under restrictions which are generally observed. It would be re garded as an improper and unsocial thing for an Englishman with a tine country place to drive people off the grounds. Instead of that he welcomes visitors and provides guides to take them around and look after them. New York Sun. Big; Prices for Old Toys. Old toys so very seldom survive the rough work which their possessors give them that if by any chance they do weather the storm they become extremely valuable. A collection of old playthings, many of which belonged to royal chil dren, has just been sold at the Hotel Drouot, and some of the articles fetched prices which even their artistio merit and their strange survival of the vicissi tudes would hardly have seemed to merit. For instance, a little doll, rather less than a foot high, but clad in a pan oply of steel, "armed at all points ex actly cap-a-pie," but perfectly modeled, and made at the time when Louis XIII sat on the throne of France, sold for 615 francs; and even this price was eclipsed by that given for a tiny 6et of carriages carved in wood and accompanied by little wooden soldiers, made not consule plauco, but when Napoleon was first consul, which brought in neary 1,000 francs. A miniature kitchen, interest ing as being an exact model of that use ful houshold apartment, tempo Louis XVI, and a little jointed doll, sixteen inches high, dressed in a broche silk Watteau dress, fetched 840 francs and 110 francs respectively. Many other toys belonging to bygone epochs sold at almost fancy prices. Galignani Mes senger. Rat Exterminators. An old trapper has been bringing from the mountains for two weeks a number of peculiar little animals that have puz zled a good many people to tell what they were. They are about the size of a common cat and have large bushy tails like that of the raccoon. Their bodies are long and slender and well protected with a thick growth of brown ish colored hair. Their eyes are black and snapping and when teased they growl and 6pit like a cat, showing a row of teeth as sharp as cambric needles. The name of these little animals is the Bassiris, and they are a species of the civit cat, ranking between the fox and the weasel. They are better than all the pussies in creation as rat exterminators, and about twenty of them have been turned loose in different warehouses and livery stables in this city. San Francis co Call. Racing- on Wooden Legs. A race on wooden legs from Bordeaux to Biarritz and back, a distance of 803 miles, was begun yesterday. Eighty- one stilt runners entered for this race left the Hotel de la Gironde at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, being "played off' by a brass band. They were accom panied by a party of bicyclists, whose duty was to see that fair play was ob served. Among the racers was the Arcachon baker, Silvain Dornon, who traveled on stilts, or claimed to have done so, from Paris to Moscow. A quarter of an hour after the stilt racers naa set out trom tsordeaux a party of eighteen women and young girls, also mounted on stilts, left Bor deaux for Cerans, having undertaken to run there and back, a distance of fifty miles, m the day. London News. Hydrophobia and the Dog- Catchers. A great deal of rot about hydrophobia is being printed m the newspapers just now. It is done, we suppose, in order not so much to scare people into having their pet dogs licensed and muzzled as to give the dog catchers the sort of moral support they certainly need in the pursuit of their infamous business. So yarns about mad dogs and their depre dations are invented and published, a great many sensitive people are terror ized and the dog catcher drives a profit able trade. There is no truth in these blood curdling tales. There has not been a case of hydrophobia in Chicago this year, and it is a question whethe there actually ever has been any. Chi cago News. Renewing Old Straw Hats. "Don't throw away your straw hat because it is discolored by rain," said a hatter this morning. "Scrub it with wet cornmeal, and then hang it up for a few minutes in sulphur smoke. It will come out as white as a brand new one." Cincinnati Times-Star. Blaudyte is the name given to the new material made of Trinidad asphalt and waste rubber. It resists the heat of high pressure steam and lasts well in the presence of oil and grease. The harbor works in Lisbon are about to be abandoned, as far as improvements are concerned, as the contractor finds himself unable to carry on the work. A street in Germany, like a portion of an Edinburgh street, has been paved with india rubber. The result is said to be most satisfactory. . BUYING PICTURES. REPORTER CHATS WITH SEVERAL WELL KNOWN ARTISTS. The I'aluters Pretty Generally Agree , That One Should Buy the Paintings Wblcb Please Mini Judgment la Ca pable of Cultivation and Will Improve. "How do people buy pictures?" Colin Campbell Cooper repeated. "Well, I suppose the majority of collectors con sult the advice of a dealer or some ar tist, and - yet there are those, not pre tentious connoisseurs, either, that know a good thing when they see it, and evince unusual wisdom in their pur chases. To some, however, self reliance in investing on a large scale in paint ings has proved rather a disastrous ex periment. The other day a collection made by a man thirty or forty years ago was sold. There was hardly half a dozen good things in it, simply because he bought and he did not know what he was getting. "Art in this country is gradually wak ing up. Perhaps the Centennial might be called the American Renaissance. We know infinitely more about art than our grandparents did, and with oppor tunities increasing from year to year it Is fair to suppose our children will show a still more marked improvement in taste. Greater facilities for traveling have done much to bring about a change In our little world, and the tendency of our art is rather toward the cosmopoli tan than provincial. Naturally, time is required to educate the public taste along artistic lines. "I think people will buy more pictures when they understand painting is not an accomplishment merely a pleasure to the eye, but that it is a part of educa tion, of civilization. It will require time to realize this. Exhibitions are visited and the majority like to look at pictures with an admiration rather ephemeral. When the picture is out of sight the impression is gone. With a general diffusion of art paintings will be bought not solely because they ap peal to the senses, to personality, but for their artistic qualities; not simply because the subject illustrated is rather a pretty idea, but because the work is technically a good art production." Stephen Ferris said: "The world is full of good pictures to be bought for rea sonable prices, but unfortunately many thousands of dollars, many fortunes, are Bpent for nonsense, while good work re mains unsought and unbought Com mon sense is happy capital in picture buying as in any other business. One can hardly provide a set number of rules to be observed in buying. Many books have been written on military science, yet the world has seen comparatively few fine generals. Judgment rules the world, and in picture buying one person is more successful than another because a spirit of superior intelligence dictates his purchases." Thomas Eakins would like to have people buy pictures that please them and appeal to their taste. "The major ity are afraid to buy what they like; they must have some one else's advice. Well, if they start with bad art, per haps before long they will come to the good. Let people buy what they want." "I have not thought much about buy ing pictures," said Mr. Frederick Waugh. "We artists are more chiefly concerned veartistsare more chiefly concerned tryingto sell them. It is the privi- 'eof the artist to paint pictures which in lege of the artist to paint pictures which appeal to people; which they understand and want to have for their own. But he should have a high standard, and he cannot succeed if he lower it to cater to the popular taste. He is fortunate if in working out his ideas he pleases the public and yet does not lose his inde pendence nor forfeit his originality. His work may be appreciated by large numbers, but it is always certain that some few will recognize his endeavor and will want to buy it. "In the Old World art is accessible to all. The Luxembourg and the Louvre are filled permanently with the master pieces of all ages, the best that have been done. There, too, the spirit of union is strong among artists. They gather together and talk of everything pertaining to the art world, consequent ly they live entirely in a congenial cli mate and they grow and develop in an essentially art atmosphere. Impression ism? Yes, this is the great word nowa days. Many have an idea that it is a synonym for vaguely treated and par- ruuiy unnnisned pictures. Impression- Ism claims to record facts as observed by the artist. Sincerity to nature is its aim. After all, there is nothing so beautiful as truth, and the nearer we get to it, as we find it in nature, the better artists we are." "Many Americans buy pictures." Mr. F. de B. Richards responded, "because they have accumulated money, and pictures are the proper thing to have. Generally they know very little about It, and a dealer does the work for them. If people purchase pictures to flatter their vanity, let them spend big sums and buy high priced pictures. If they buy for pleasure, let them buy what in terests them. I remember meetine Ed win Forrest after a sale. 'I've bought a picture, said he. 'They told me not to do It, because very likely it is not origi nal. But it pleases me, and I should buy it if it were by somebody I never heard tell of.' A picture pleasing to the eye is a source of education for the time being at least. Adverse criticism mav lead a man to scrutinize it and study it more closely than if he had bought one he did not like half so well." "I think I should be inclined to buv what I liked personally," was the opin- on of Edwin Swift Balch. "not forget ting that the pictorial qualities should not be lost sight of in the desire to get a pleasing subject. Good handling, the proper placing of values and meritorious color, allied to a sympathetic subject, will tend to keep our interest in a paint ing alive." Philadelphia Times.
