Sir Garnet Wolseley, who|has now come
to still higher honers and responsibilities,
hardly looks the strong commander that
he is. He has very slender figure, and

The story OF Regnaults celebrated pic
ture of Salome is an interesting one. It
was first simply an untitled head painted
from Roman model. One day Fortuny
entered Regnault's studio when he was
painting, and stood smoking and looking
first at the picture and then at the model.
Then silently he walked across the room,
took down from the wall great ibrass
dish and a Turkish dagger, put them in
the models lap, arranged the drapery,
and said: "Piece your canvas, paint her
that way and call her Salome." Reg
nault followed the great Spaniard's ad-'
vice, and Salome made success. 1864 pa

A youth, oven though he be a titled
ruler, finds it hard to resist ssgood clethes,' 2
and especially, regimentals. When
Prince Alexander, newly of Bulgaris,
called upon the Emperor at Berlin he
naturally wore the uniform Of his rank
second lieutenant in the Pfussian Army.
It was, of course, unreasonable that n
