What the Independents wIH DO.


NEW YORK, June 12-George William
Curtis, Carl Schurz, George Haven Putnam
r p Bowker, Ex-Governor IA Il. Chamber
lain, ;and othel independent Republicans
have united in preparing call for meeting
on Tuesday next to consider what cours'
shall be taken with reference to the Repub
lican nominations Mr.. Putnam outlined tht
programme of the meeti ng as follows:
l. To make strong protest against the &C
ton of the Republican national convention
in the nomination of Mr.. Blaine.
2. To formulate suggestions to the Demo
cratic national conventionwith reference tt
certain reforms which we consider more i'm
portant than the existence of any party.
3. To suggest that the Democratic
national convention shall not only
put itself on record as favoring thest
reforms, but shall practically sup
port them by the nomination of some mar
whose name shall stand for such reform
measures.
"The reforms upon which all independent!
are practically agreed" said Mr.. Putnam
"are, first, civil-service reform, extending
into every department Of the government
second, reform to the extent at least of the
removal of the burdens of war taxation
third, an honest currency, good the world
over, and not merely the local currency Of
Colorado OF southern Illinois"
Concerning the names to be presented t.
the Democrats, Mr.. Putnam said: "In tn
order of availability they are Cleveland
Carlisle, Bayard. and Morrison. CLEVELAND
and Carlisle would be an ideal ticket, both a
matter of reform and as matter O
practical politics-that is tossreceive sup
port where it is needed"
Suppose the Democrats demand Tilden!
an that event they will throw away thei
opportunities so far as the independents ar
concerned

Many of you know about optical illusions,
and the curious mistakes which the eye some
times makes concerning an object at which
it is looking; but few OF US know how fire.
uuently we ourselves are victims Of optical
illusions OF one sort or another. The fact
is, we see nearly as much with our exper-
ienee as we see with our eyes. We know an
object to be of certain form in one position
and of a certain color in one light, and we
are too apt to fancy that we see it in that
form and color in all positions and lights,
regardless Of the fact that, seen from another
standpoint, the contour of it may appear en-
tirely different, and that a different light
may totally change the color Of it. We all
know that the actual color of clean boots is
black, and beginner in painting almost
always paints them perfectly black, whereas
the direct rays OF the sun or of an artificial
light NAV make them appear nearly white in
parts; while if they be placed near some
bright substance, such as orange peel or a
crimson scarf. they will reflect
the color Of that object, and
so become orange or red in
parts, and an expert painter would so repre-
sent them. We hear people speaking Of ''the
white of the eve" and beginners with the
brush often give very ghastly expression TO
their attempts at portraiture by painting the
white Of the eye pure white; whereas. owing
TO the projection of the brovs, the lids and
| the lashes, it is often thrown into deep shade,
/ and may be even darker than some of the
flesh tints. Now II eyes we're trained ike
those OF a skilled artist, they would know the
| true color of all objects they beheld. Bat
/ this is the very hardest thing an artist has to
learn, namely, to know really what he does
see.
In coloring, almost everything depends
upon the nature OF the light. A white hand
! kerehief is black in . dark room.
An excellent aid TO the study Of color is to
take white card, and with your paints Try
to match on it some tint in any oil painting,
chrome. or even colored fabric which you
may have Then cut q small hole in the card
adjoining your tint, and place the card over
the tint you have copied, so that you can sec
( it through the hole, side by side with your
own attempt. Then you VIII see at once how
nearly you have matched the tint-St. Nfoh-
