Matrimonial Collisions.

The collision of husband and wife is
so frequent as to have literature to it.
self. In this case the man, though he
suffers also, suffers much the least. He
can, if he is severely disappointed, get
mentally away; he can form new
friendships, he can harden himself until
he is more or less apathetic, he can put
affect on, which makes the true string
of such unions, away from him. and so,
with his GOODNESS restored, can 90 on
and find life endurable. He is free to
strive, though the striving is useless.
The woman-we are speaking through
out of the good-can not ct away,
either from the house, or, what is more
important, from hers If, can not strive
without loss of snlf-;espect, can not en-
franchise herself from her own sense of
right, her own necessity to herself of
concealing her disappoint ncnt from her
own heart. She can mt be quietly DIS
contented, or coolly disappointed. or
patiently callous. The condition is
imperative and she must suffer
daily, hourly, perhaps through
life, from cause which even mental
change, possible to be made if duty did
not forbid, would either remove or, at
least, diminish to much smaller pro-
portions. A woman so situated can not
be either serene or genuinely happy,
can at best be resigned, feeling all the
while how harsh destiny is, yet how ir-
resisible, because it exerts its force not
from outside, but straight on her own
heart. Il must BEAR" says the hus-
band to himself, and he bears; II ought
to cure it, says the wife, and it is in
durable. The pain in the one case is
disappointment, the pain in the other
that of contention with the memorable,
which yet you know it is your duty not
to contend with. Patience is usually
the medicine; but Griselda, whatever
else she may be, is not serene, and
Griselda is but fairy tale.-LondoH

How Cheap Pictures are Made.

"Do YOU know how these pictures
are painted?' inquired an art connois-
seur of a reporter, referring to the paint
ings displayed in an "art auction
house."
The newspaper man confessed his
ignorance, and asked to be informed.
well will tell you story regard
ing their construction as it was told to
me by thoroughly reliable party. He
said he knew an artist in Chicago who
was good painter, but hal wrecked
himself by drink. Broken down, he
took to painting pictures for auction
GERS, and this Is how he did it: He
would spread long strip of canvas
along the room and then mark it off
into sections the size he intended to
make the pictures. Next he would mix
up about dozen pots of paint as
many colors as it was necessary for
him to use. Taking the brush from one
POT he would paint daub, a tree or
something on each section; then he
would take up another color and 90
along the strip of canvas daubing water
or houses on each picture, and so on
till he had turned out the whole string,
all alike, you know. In this way he
managed to paint about twenty pictures
a day. He received seventy-centS for
each picture. My inform ant assured
me this was all he was paid. Well,
that would be about Sl5 for the day S
work. This would be enough for the
artist to 90 off on a drunk with, and
that is just what he would do, and re-
main drunk for few days. Then his
funds would be out and he would GO
to work again. In this way he man
aged to keep atloat and be drunk the
greater part of the time. You can I'M
derstand how these fellows can sell pic
lures for trihe and yet thrive. If they
sell picture at all they make money
on it, as it costs them next to nothing.

In France Epiphany is called "KIng's
day" because of the alteration of the
wise men. The heather celebrated, at
the end of December and the beginning
of January. the feasts .of Saturn, and
during these celebrations the slaves
were COMPOUNDED with the masters.
Lots were cast for an imaginary king
dom, and if the lot fell to the slave,
everybody, even his master, obeyed him
for the time. Many people consider
these pagan feasts the foundation of the
celebration of the present "rOi de Ia

! originated in the thirteenth century, and
the tcte OF electing king, which to US

But during the whole year the nurses

certified to the Sta authorities that in
the northern portion of the drainage
district alone about $4,000 acres have
