iron, and is Theoretically sealed. AsSits
lightness, compared with surrounding
water, would cause 1t at once to rise to
the surface, it is attached to a heavy
eight-wheel truck, which runs ON line

Some Paris Models.

Lucy Hooper writes from Paris to Ap
pleLons' journal: @'''' :.
| Does any lover of art, in an ecstacy
before some painting representing Eve.
| Venus, or some unuraped nymph, ever
| Question himself or herself respecting
! lhe probable fate of the model from
whose living beauty the artist has won
| the charm Of his picture?
| The trade OF a. model in Paris is O
| fourishing and lucrative one. Many of
the women engaged in it are perfectly
| virtuous, being always accompanied by
a mother or sister when they go to sit,
and being treated with the utmost re-
spect by the artists who employ them.
Most OF the celebrated painters will en-
gage a fine model for months, or even
for years, SO difficult is it to discover
one that at all approaches the IDEAL o.
the painter. They receive from i've 60
twenty francs a day for their services,
according 70 their beauty and celebrity /;
those who are capable of posing for the
entire figure receiving, OF course, the
highest pay. 81 -
a romantic but painful story connects
ed with one of these models was recent
| ly related to me by an American artist
Of distinction. A few months ago there
appeared in that capacity, in the ART Cir
cles of Paris, a young English girl not
yet fifteen, SO perfectly and so radiantly
beautiful that ner services were eagerly
engaged for months ahead at the rate or
fifteen francs day. She was under the
charge of an old Italian woman, ana was
g thoroughly naive and child-like crea-
ture, delighted to pose for the English
and American artists, because they
spoke her language, ana far more inter-
ested in the cakes and sugar-plums that
were literally bestowed upon her than
in the money she was making or in the
degradation of her position. One of her
own couhtrymen, by dint OF questioning
her, drew from her the story of her en-
trance into her questionable andperilousi
career. }. tl t'-.b bis, .a a4.l % 81 if
She was the daughter OF small shop
keeper 5in London. Her parents were
very poor, and the Italian woman had
offered to bring the girl TO Paris, TO feed
and ct0the her, and to pay her parents
one shilling day for her services, aver
ring that she was to sit in Italian peas
ant costume. TO the French artists as a
blonde cdntddind. Instead OF keeping
her contract, the wretched Italian had
hired out their poor child as model for
the entire figure, and was reaping rich
harvest from her services. The English
man laid the case at once before the au.
thorities, and the Italian was arrested,
tried for. that grave offense which is
known In France as detournement DEL

The FLAG OF Our UNIoN.-For nearly n
year after the Declaration of Independence
the new Republic had no national flag. At
first the "Union flags" were the red ensigns
Of England, with some patriotic motto, such
as "Liberty," or Liberty and Property"

sets adopted for its pine tree flag This
was the flag borne by the first ships of war
commissioned by Washington. The flag at
Fort Moutrie was blue with a white cres-
cent and the word "Liberty." The great
union" raised by Washington at Cambridge,
January ,, l776 consisted of IL alternate
red aud white stripes, with the crosses of St.
George and st. Andrew emblazoued. The Is
stripes are said to have been first used as the
banner ola Philadelphia troop of Lighthouse
in l775. On the 18th of June, III, con.
gress resolved "that the flag of the Ii United
States be IL stripes alternate white and red :
that the Union be IL stars, white in blue
field, representing new constellation" and
arranged in a circle. In 1894, Vermont
and Kentucky having been admitted into the
Union, the number of stars and stripes wa,
augmented to 10 and this was the flag used
in the war Of 1912. The stripes were re-
duced to the original Ii in 1918. There il
no arrangement of the stars prescribed by
law. In the flags Of the army they are gen
orally arranged in one large star-in thos
Of the navy they are set in parallel lines
