Am Artist's Friends.
“Have you a friend in the world}
Wall, you might as well have none at
all. Have your friends got any money;
are they rich? Well, they will not spend
a dollar for you. I warn you that you
will find it so. I have been in this busi
ness a long while. I have told all my
other patrons what I now tell you, and
they have all found my every word was
true.” Thus spoke a picture auctioneer
to an artist who was meditating an ex
hibition to be followed by a sale of the
pictures. The two events followed one
another, and the prophet’s words did not
come quite true. At the sale there was
a notable absence of the artist’s friends.
Of the host of them only two or three
who were not among the rich ones
either came or bought anything. The
others stayed away, saying afterward
that they did not feel well or that they
saw that the artist got good notices and
was bound to do well—as he did. in spite
of them.
There is nothing extraordinary about
this situation. The probability is that
the personal friends of the artists know
them too well and like them too much
to be certain that their judgment is fair
and reliable when they come to exercise
it in determining the market value of
their work. Once an artist has estab
lished'this value to be great his rich
friends are apt to hunt around and se
cure some of the pictures they could
have got cheaper when their presence
would have been grateful to the artist.
The poorer friends must then go without
his work unless they have some that he
gave away when he was younger and
lees famous.—New York Sun.
Experimenting With Corn.
“I made a queer and a very interesting
experiment with a growing cornstalk,"
said Harvey Samuels as he settled in one
of the great rockers in the Lindell. “1
had always heard a great deal about the
effect of injecting medicines and food
into human beings, the method being pro
nounced preferable and more beneficial
in cases of extreme illness than that of
feeding through the regular channels.
My work with this corn plant was decid
edly interesting. I secured a small glass
syringe with a very fine point to it. After
the corn was two weeks old and only a few
inches tall 1 began to inject the unfer
mented juice of crushed apples. My first
injection was not quite a drop. Three
days later 1 repeated the dose, increasing
it slightly. In a little While the injection
was a daily occurrence and the dose in
creased proportionately. The cornstalk
waxed fat and tall. All along it gave
promise of great size and large fruit.
••Its height in July was fully 16 inches
above the tallest stalk in the field. Its
ears were much larger, while the silken
tassel was much smaller and lacked the
depth of color characteristic of the othei
plants. I took an ear home to steam
and eat. 1 can tell you that the quality
of that corn for eating purposes was ex
cellent. It smacked a little of apple,
just the slightest suggestion of it. and
not at all disagreeable as one might sup
pose. The grains were large and juicy.
In fact the quality of the corn was far
superior to anything 1 had ever eaten in
that line. 1 am going to repeat the ex
periment. ” —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Several Coincidences.
While the belief in talismans and
omens is confined to the less educated
portion of our population, even the most
skeptical read with interest coincidences
that simpler minds regard as prophecies.
President Garfield a few months before
his death related to a friend the follow^
ing incidents:
As General Garfield entered the con
vention the day of his nomination, a
man distributing leaves of the New Tes
tament handed one to him which the
engrossed politician folded and put in
his pocket. Long after the nomination
he took down the suit he had worn that
eventful day. and before putting it on
proceeded to empty the pockets. He
drew out a paper pressed into a narrow
fold, one verse only being visible. It
was this, “The stone which the builders
rejected is become the head of the cor
ner."
Again, at 1 o’clock in the afternoon,
the hour of the nomination in Chicago,
an eagle, coming from no one knows
where, lighted on General Garfield's
house in Washington and sat there sev
eral minutes. This occurrence was wit
nessed by many persons in the capital.
—Wide Awake.
A Naturalist and the Snake Charmer.
A story used to be told at Cairo of the
late Sir Richard Owen during one of his
sojourns in Egypt. The great naturalist
was seated in the shade on the veranda
at Sheppeard’s hotel, as is the postpran
dial wont of visitors to that famous hos
telry. when the inevitable snake charmer
came to him and produced from his bag
a lively specimen of the homed asp—the
deadly cerr.Btes. The professor gazed,
and nothing daunted stopped and
plucked the horns from the head of the
reptile wriggling at his feet, remarking
to a bystander that the man would prob
ably think twice before trying to palm
off upon any one else a harmless snake
as a cerastes by the aid of a couple of
fish bones. With anybody else *he
charmer would probably have r
He had tried it on the wrong —

Weapons of a Kindly Woman.
A regard for others’ feelings and a
gentle though not fulsome flattery that
stimulates rather than inflates are the
weapons which, when used by a clever,
kindly woman, make her a power among
any set in which she chooses to move,
though never for one moment does she
give any evidence that she is aware of
the influence she wields through the all
conquering scepter of her own gracious
womanhood.—Philadelphia Times.
