Whistler's Frank Criticism. A Paris letter says that Whistler se riously criticised one of Damiat's pic rnres in a Paris art exhibition a week oi so ago, and the next day a mutual friend mischievously introduced the two men. Meantime the censorious ex pressions of the former had been widely related. "Glad to meet you, Mr. Whistler," Dannat is reported as having said, "particularly glad at this moment, as I hear you have been running down my pictures behind my back." "Yes," returned the adept in the gentle art of making enemies; "I did say something rather harsh about it, and it was behind your back, as I nevei before had the pleasure of seeing you face to face. "Now that I do see you, I will do you the favor to tell j-on the contribution you have sent to this salon has no busi ness here. This is a collection of pic tures, and you should be informed that half a dozen figures outlined on a wall do not constitute a picture. Something of intelligent composition, some attempt to represent an idea, some respect foi the truths of nature are prime requisites, and your flat drawing over there does not embody any of theso qualities. Good uiomins. iIr.Dannat!" A Starve 1 in Book Publishing. A curious look, in .which the text is neither written nor printed, but woven, has lately been published in Lyons. It is made of silk, and wa3 published in twenty-five parts. Each part consists of two leaves, so that the entire volume contains only fifty leaves, inscribed with the service of the mass and several prayers. Both the letters and the border are in black silk on a white background. -Boston Globe. AltEMAJtKAliLE JU3ir AN INCIDENT IN EMPRESS THE LIFE OF OF AUSTRIA. THE Her Home Took Hie Itlt liilnrrn Ills Teeth and Made a Terrible Itiui An Almost Miraculous I.eii Over ait Open lrawlrhlge A I'lucky Woiuau. Many years ago I was an eyewitness to an accident which befell the empresfl of Austria, and which was so terrible that her escape from death seems to me even now a miracle. Elizabeth of Austria, as she liked to call herself, was at that time not only the most daring but idso the licst rider in tho world. No man or woman ever knew better how to take an obstacle than this most charming of all crowned women. Though her majesty was th(jfi already a grandmother, on horseback she could give odds to the best Hun garian and English riders. The party at the event of which I am writing con sisted of the empress and a large num ber of Austrian and foreign gentlemen riders, who seemed to have gathered to gether from all parts of Europe. Most of them were known as prominent horsemen. This was not surprising con sidering that the empress would never take tho field in company of poor riders. On this occasion the empress rode a very spirited young horse, which she had obtained in Lancashire when on a visit to England, and to tho training of which she had personally attended for nearly a year. Everything went well after the start until we crossed a high way leading to a small Hungarian country town a short distance off. Pass ing a white painted milestone the em press' horse shied, and suddenly be coming uncontrollable it dashed down the road in the direction of tho town. From appearance it waa evident that the animal had succeeded in taking the bit between his teeth and that no earth ly power could stop it on its mad run away. Although we all followed the empress, none of us seemed to gain upon her. Flying we passed through the little town, much to the amazement and the terror of tho few people in the streets. A short distance bej-ond the town was a shipping canal, and to our horror we saw that the drawbridge spanning the canal was open so as to permit the pas sago of some boat. In a moment we realized that tho empress was running straight into the jaws of certain death. Faster and faster we went on in pur suit, but faster and faster also seemed the empress' horse to fly. Now it had reached the open bridge. Would it stop? Before we had time to think we saw the animal dash up tho incline of the open bridge like a flash of lightning. For a moment we could not but close our eyes and a shudder convulsed every man in the cavalcade. It was a terrible moment a moment during which fear and horror alternately kept 'us merci lessly in their pangs. When we opened our eyes again, still riding as fast as our horses could go, the fair rider and her runaway had disappeared. We had no doubt that the inevitable had happened and that Elizabeth of Austria was drowned in the slow and turbid waters of the canal. The idea was a terrible one. . My pen is too weak to describe the . confusion among us and the agony- ofi suspense that followed and seemed to make each rider quiver in his saddle. Almost un consciously we had stopped our horses just before reaching the incline to the open draw. As a matter of fact our ex citement was so great that we did not even notice that one of our number, Count Szepany, if I remember well, was also missing. All our faculties natural ly had followed the empress only. There we were, halting before that terrible bridge like a pack of cowards, with nobody among us plucky enough to ride into death with an empress. A few seconds later the inclines of the bridge were lowered again, but nobody of our company seemed to even attempt to pass it. From the pangs of fear and horror we had passed into those of amazement. Several hundred yards beyond the bridge we beheld riding toward us a lady on a foaming steed. It was the empress, and at her side the only gallant man of the crowd, Count Szepany. Her majesty firmly sat her horse, and appeared as cool and collected as if nothing had hap pened. bmihngly did she make fun of us and our anxiety. Her fine raillery was just as much justified as it was inoffensive when she saw the pitiable figure we cut in her exalted presence. The empress' horse was very lame. and closer examination showed that it had dislocated its right hind fetlock. In jumping the open draw between the wings of the bridge the hind feet of the empress horse had caught one of the iron rails at the edge and torn off one of its hind shoes. The most extraordinary feature of the accident was how the horse ever could have gone down the incline without" breaking its own and the rider's neck. The only explanation for this small miracle, however, might be found in the fact that the empress never lost her presence of mind for a minute when on horseback, and that, though the animal was uncontrollable, she must have sat it to perfection. With regard to Count Szepany, he was unable to give any account of his escape. More over, he did not even remember whether his horse made the jump before or after the empress'. He simply said that dur ing the jump he closed his eyes for a sensation as inougn tne water wero dud bling over his head. Harper's Young People. A Scythe as Old as Moses. An Egyptian scythe, dug up on the banks of tho Nile in 1890, is exhibited among tho antiquities in the private museum of Flinders Petrie, London. The shaft of the instrument is of wood set with a row of tine flint saws, which are securely cemented in a groove. This discovery answers the oft asked ques tion, How did the stone age man har vest his crops? St. Louis Itepublic. Itatbing Suits Are Shorter. P.athing suits will be worn shorter this year. This may apiear startling to the fair sex, but as it is intended solely for the man of fashion, with whom I be lieve myself on "speaking terms," the shock in the first sentence must be for given, as it was altogether uninten tional. But in saying that bathing suits will be worn shorter, I have reference only to the lower half. Last year they cov ered many an ungainly knee. This year they can be worn cut to just above the knee or just below, and the shape of a man's limbs will have much to do with his choice. As a man is never an ex cellent judge of his own physique, it might be well to ask a friend for advice. Bathing suits will be worn as tight as ever. This is another bit of agreeable information for the host of well shaped men who enjoy the two or three months in the year during which they can dis port themselves on the sands of Manhat tan Beach, Long Branch, Newport and Atlantic City. But society permits this show of shape, in fact enjoys it, and so the man of fashion has simxly to bow obeisance and pose. When you buy your bathing outfit this year be sure and do it properly. Buy them in one piece of worsted or silk, and if you are stout get vertical stripes, and if you are thin follow the Sing Sing design. That is very much in style this year. Boston Herald. Treatment of the Czar's Consumptive Son. Tho Grand Duke George, the czar's second son, who ever since his enforced return through illness from his Indian tour has been under medical treatment for pulmonary disease, has been passing the winter at Abbas-Tuman in the Cau casus. A private letter from that place states that his imperial highness is under going a most remarkable course of treat ment. The walls in his apartments are bare and nnpapered, the furniture is of plain wood or cane without upholstering or stuff covering of any kind, and his bed consists only of the thinnest of mat tresses. Throughout the winter only very moderate nre nas been Kept up, while the windows of the grand duke's rooms have been continuously open. His attendants have suffered dread fully from the cold, but his medical ad visers hold that this low temperature is very beneficial to their imperial patient, as it tends to destroy the bacillus and prevent the formation of tubercle. They maintain that the progress of the disease has been arrested, and express hopes that, if the treatment which they pre scribe is persevered with, the grand duke will m two jears' time have com pletely recovered. Pall Mall Gazette. A New Way to Catch Fish. Mr. David Pickle, of the Cuba district, Blakely, Ga., has a new mode of catch ing fish. The plan is this: The fish are baited for some daj's with a mixture of flour and magnetized steel filings made into stiff paste or dough. When they begin to take the bait a magnetized iron or steel rod, coated with the same kind of paste, is let down to them. They soon attempt to suck the paste from it, and m doing so stick hard and fast. It is not unusual for Mr. Pickle to haul out at one time a long string or rod of suckers in this way. This plan of fishing, combined with Mr. Cal Odom's method of frightening or setting fire to the fur of raccoons and burning them .out of the highest trees with roman candles, is bound to revolutionize hunt ing and fishing in this section. Atlanta Constitution. An Equine Ostrich. D. F. Barrett has a horse that is both herbivorous and carnivorous. That is to say, it not only eats corn, oats, hay and other things that equines should, but it devours rags, nails, scrap iron, barb wire, etc., with a relish. Friday its queer stomach hankered after meat, and Dave had a hen and chickens running in the yard, and that horse gulped down seven of the little chickens quicker than a wink and smacked its lips for more. The horse ia in good condition, is sound as a dollar, was raised in the far off state of Washington, and, aside from its strange appetite and peculiar gastro nomic 6tomach, ia all right. Laddonia (Mo.) Herald. Having False Teeth Palled. Going twelve miles to have a set of false teeth pulled and being obliged to take gas in order to undergo the opera tion ia something new in the dental line, but it was the experience of a Kenne bec county woman the other day. The teeth were new and were such a snug fit that she couldn't get them out. After enduring the discomfort for two days she went to Augusta for relief, and by the time she reached there her mouth was so sore as to make the taking of gas necessary. Lewiston Journal.
