Dread of Marble Portraits
One peculiarity of human nature
that I am reminded of daily said a
sculptor is the disinclination of the
average man to look upon himself re
produced in marble The sight strikes
him with positive dread It makes
him feel as If he were looking on his
own lifeless body For that reason it
Is difficult to persuade many persons
worth modeling to sit for a sculptor
Frequently I am asked why most of
ipy work is modeled after dead and
gone subjects The answer Is that liv
ing people refuse to give me a commis
sion The art of the sculptor differs
there from that of the painter Every
body likes to be painted The sight of
ones face ones figure ones clothes in
a picture evokes nothing but pleasura
ble emotions if well done but to see
oneself carved out of marble produces
such an overpowering sense of death
that many sensitive persons put off im
mortalization at the hands of a sculp
tor until they are really dead New

His Brothers
At the usual monthly petty sessions
court held in a certain provincial town
some weeks ago the following incident
occurred
One of the local police constables had
summoned a neighboring farmer on a
charge of having a number of asses
wandering at will on the public road
The defendant failed to appear but
his brother was present in the person
of the clerk of petty sessions who on
hearing the sentence of the presiding
magistrate Fined 2s 2d and costs
rose to the occasion by replying
Theyre my brothers your worship
Ill pay the fine
He was shocked when his becoming
exhibition of fraternal love for the
asses was rewarded with an outburst
of laughter London Graphic
Where the Shoe Pinched
It was easy for Mr Randall to bear
with his wifes remarkable decision or
character at all times but her obsti
nacy ho found most difficult to endure
I cant quite comprehend her he
confided to his brother after one try
ing experience Many years as we
have been married she still surprises
me Why all in the same day some
times in the same hour she will settle
a disturbance in the kitchen put the
children just where they belong adjust
some matter in the church and then
when her judgment ought to be at its
best display the most astounding ob
stinacy in attempting to regulate my
goings out or comings in Its its in
comprehensible
Moslem Prayer Rugs
Prayer rugs were evidently invented
for the purpose of providing the wor
shipers with one absolutely clean place
on which to offer prayers It is not
lawful for a Moslem to pray on any
place not perfectly clean and unless
each one has his own special rug he
is uot certain that the spot has not
been polluted It does not matter to
these followers of Mohammed how
unclean a rug that is on the floor may
be because over it they place the
prayer rug when their devotions begin
An Eye Experiment
The two eyes really see two objects
If the two forefingers be held one at
the distance of one foot the other two
feet in front of the eyes and the for
mer be looked at two phantoms of the
latter will be observed one on each
side If the latter figure be regarded
two phantoms of the nearest finger
will be observed mounting guard one
on either side

THE SCHEM1HL
Ho Is the Poor Fellow Who Always
Misses His Chance
The schemlhl Is easier to understand
than to define Many years ago a gath
ering of the wits at the Maccabaeus
endeavored to come to a decision as to
the real definition of a schemlhl They
could not agree as to the origin of
the word and they found It equally
hard to define what exactly a schemlhl
Is The nearest shot says the Jewish
Chronicle of London was that of Stu
art M Samuel M P who said that
ho could tell a story that would illus
trate exactly what was meant by the
term There was a poor man who
could not find anything to do What
ever he tried failed and when he
sought employment he could not ob
tain It Day after day ho sat schemihl
llke on a bench in the public gardens
waiting for some one to offer him
work but the offer never came For
a whole year he sat thus each day un
til at last he attracted the attention of
a merchant who said to himself I
want some one at ray warehouse and
I think I shall offer the job to that
poor man who is always sitting so pa
tiently and wistfully as though he is
looking for employment Tomorrow
I shall speak to him The morrow
came and tine poor man started for his
usuul walii to his usual seat As how
ever he was leaving his house he said
to his wife My dear I have been out
like this for a whole year and noth
ing has ever come of it Today I think
I shall stay at home And he did
And he missed the merchant That is

A LIFE OF THE ROOFS
Gardens -Flourish on the Housetops of
Florence Italy
Thero still exists in Italian cities a
life of the roofs that is distinct and
characteristic and of which the mere
foreigner and tourist is entirely un
aware Particularly is this the case in
Florenco Mount to the top floor of
one of those grim big palaces standing
in some gloomy sunless street often
approached by a stern forbidding door
way and dark steep stairs and you
will hold your breath with wonder at
the surprise that awaits you for here
before your eyes stretches an unfa
miliar city a red and green city of
wide expanse and varying altitudes a
city no less architecturally beautiful
than the one you have left below and
enlivened too most unexpectedly by
verdure
In the very heart of the city on its
topmost apex there is no trace of
grime The air is pure and whole
some Indeed its breezes are charged
with no small suggestion of sea and
mountain breath As for the smoke
one would expect to find hanging above
the roofs of a densely populated city it
is conspicuous by its absence and only
at the hour of meals does some faint
blue column rise for the briefest space
into the atmosphere Helen Zimmerns

Grant the Hero
When General Grant was seized with
his fatal illness in the autumn of 1SS4
he appeared before the world in an en
tirely new character From being view
ed as the stern uncompromising and
conquering military commander the
revelation of his simple resignation in
the face of great suffering claimed for
him new fame as a hero in another
sense His last battle with the great
conqueror destined him for grander
laurels than were gained on any of his
many triumphant fields It was the
purely human side of his nature that
then appealed to the general sympathy
of mankind Thus his last and only
surrender was his greatest victory If
it had been otherwise history would
have cheated itself of an example of
Christian fortitude the like of which
has been seldom recorded Dr G F
Shrady in Century
New York Church Choirs
Singing in a New York choir has
several advantages one of which is the
long contract said a soprano I sang
in churches in four different cities be
fore coming here and everywhere I
was hired from month to mouth That
is the custom in most churches in oth
er towns The trustees are afraid to
sign a years contract on account of
the hot water they will get into if the
choir proves unsatisfactory Congrega
tions in other cities are very finicky
and stubborn in the matter of music
They dont take things as easy as the
people do here The average New York
congregation is the most obliging hody
on earth Unless a choir is hopelessly
bad nobody interferes so the trustees
feel safe in hiring the singers by the
year New York Sun
