Of Wiertz, the celebrated German ar
tist

the old aristocratic Countess de-
who pretended to be only thirty when
nearly sixty, she refused to accept tho
painting, saying that 1t did not look
anything, like herself, aud that her
most intimate friends would not re-
cognize single feature Of hers on
that canvass. Wiertz smiled kindly
at the remark, and, as true knight,
gallantly re,conductcd the lady to her
carriage. Next morning there was
grand disturbance in tho Rue dc 10
Madeline. A big crowd gathered be-
fore window, and the following
words were whispered from ear to
eur is the Countess de---really in
jail for her debts ?" Wier;z had ex-
erciscd littlo vongcncc toward his
noble but unfair customer. AS soon
as she had refused the portrait he sat
to work aud painted n few iron bars
on tho picture, with these words
In Jail for debt He exhibited the
painting in jewelers. window, in tho
principal street Of Brussels, and tho
effect was instantaneous. A few hours

high pressure to have exhibited her
likeness under such scandalous, ETC.,

THE MODERN BELLE.

She sits in a fashionable parlor
And rocks in her easy chair;
She is clad in silks and satins, .4t
And jewels are in her hair,
She winks and giggles aud shippers.
And simpers aud giggles and winks;
And though she talks but little,
It is good deal more than che thinks
She lies abej in the morning
Till nearly the hour Of noon,
Then comes down swapping and snarlina
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is still in papers.
Her checks still fresh with paint
Remains OF her last nights blushes,
Before she intended TO faint.
She dotes upon men unsbayen,
And men with flowing hair"i
She's eloquent over mustachcs,
They give such foreign air.
She talks Of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon
And, IL a mouse were to meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made Of cosmetics
Though this she will never own),
Her body is made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly Of stone.
She falls in love with fellow
Who swells with foreign air;

The Two NIaniacs.

More than City years ago, a party
of young men were in tho habit Of
meeting together, evening after even
iug, in tho village tavern, to enjoy
what they termed harmless pleasure,
chatting over tho table, and passing
round tho jovial cup.
1t was generally lato before they
separated, aud il is needless TO say
that they seldom returned homo so.
Der.
One, night when they had bceh par
ticularly merry, and had entertained
one another with tales of wonder aud
fear, ono of the party declared ho
feared nothing, neither God, nor man
uor devil.

yard said another, "stand upon a
tombstone, and cry ont, " Arise, yo
dead and come to judgement ~
Yes, l WILL" he replied and
iorwth proceeded towards th, graves,
while two Of his companions followed
to hear whether he would do as he
had said. Bold in his impious daring
ho walked halfway through tho
churchyard, and mounting on tomb,
cried aloud, "Arisc, ye doad, and
como to judgement !" Once more he
repeated the solemn words, when sud
denly a white object sproug up from
behind tomb, and shrill voice ex-
claimed, Yes, Lord, | come, | come !"
The wretGhed drunkard aol in ter,

much impressed with the solemn in

ways

the graves. Her head wandered, but
her heart was fixed upon Him who

their Judge, she gladly responded to
the summons for she was prepared
to welcome her Lord with joy.

one had his share-no small share at
that, One Of these gentlemen, q well
known bareback aud fourhorso rider,
while in the act Of putting on n pair
Of elastic knees, explained that the
most serious strain resulting from RI
ding and tumbling came upon the
kidneys, which were often badly in
jured. The breast was also strained

Opposition 10 great Inventions

Tradition says john Faust, one OF
the three inventors of printing, was
charged with multiplying books by
the aid Of the devil, aud was pcrsecu-
ted both by the priests and the pco
pie. The strongest opposition to the
press has, however, been presented in
Turkey. The art Of printing had cx-
sted throc hundred years before a
printing,press was established in
Constantinople. From 1926 to l740
that press issued only twenty.threc
volumes. 1t was then stepped and
did not resume its issues until after
an interval OF more than forty years
About 1880 press was establish
cd at Scutari, and between 1860 aud
1905 issued forty volumes, Again
its operations were suspended, and
were not resumed until tho year 1920
