Art in London.
rIonoas pando1,b in Rol+;r,oro An.

James RanQolpn ln BalLlI1Ore American.
 Art life and art work in London are things that speak of with certain reserve. Ar lists here are shy birds, and make themselves nests away from the jar and rattle of Lon don Philistinism, and it is not easy for the stranger to search out their hiding places. Yet, through the kindness of artist friends and through certain letters that brought with me, have had glimpse of the studio life that has been very enjoyable In Lon don there are many noble collections of pie tures The exhibitions show great deal of industry. But it does not seem to me that the English people love art in the way that they love cricket or horses; there seems to be no enthusiasm, no true veneration for it. It seems rather as though they said, FfGo to, and let US be artistic.'' And so they buy up priceless pictures for their national gallery and pile up Trajan's columns full size, and the alabaster rood-loft of the Cathedral of Bois le Due, in their South Kensington muse um, and say, "Now we are artistic" Brit ish pride will give to art no end of money, but that which is more precious than money love, sympathy and appreciation-it gives sparingly. Thus art seems fashion rather than passion in London, and such men oft

VTCT0US HORSES,
They Will TrampIe Person with Vie
 cfOus Intenfs

They Will TrampIe a Person with Vie cfous Intent.
 Prof w. H. Brewer of Yale college, who
 has made special study of horses and their habits recently wrote to pr. Chamberlain, of
 Hartford, to ask if the horse which threw Major North on Charter Oak Park was be- ieved to have trampled on him with vicious intent. He states further in his letter that so far he has never heard of an instance where horse purposely attempted to tram ple anyone under foot, and does not believe such case is on record. The letter was referred to Dr. Peltier, who is attending Ma jor North, and he questioned the latter. He said that the members of the Wild West show have had the fact demonstrated to them several times during the progress of their en- tertainment that a horse will trample per son viciously. The Indian who leads in the closing feature of the show (the assault on the settlers cabiD is sup posed to be shot when repeued by the cowboys and falls from his horse to add realism to the scene. It is stated that while performing this trick his horse has several times attempted to trample on him as he lay there feigning death and that once he was badly injured. A London sporting journal some time ago had detailed &C., count of 8 somewhat similar case. A groom who had the care of a blooded horse took special delight in worrying and tormentlng his charge One day when the horse had been placed in box stall and the groom went in to feed him as usual, he never came out again alive An hour afterwards he was found with his skull smashed in. The horse had tramp1ed him to death, and was revenged for the way it had been maltreated.

l en hoard costly works rather from pride of l possession than for delight in the works l themselves. A blunt sense of beauty shows itself everywhere. I thought that in Wash
 ington city equestrian incompetence in bronze had done all that was possible to
 hand down to imperishable unloveliness the
 heroes of the late war; but in London
 many of the heroes and sages of the past
 are held up to everlasting ridicule. There
 are statues in the public squares erected in memory of great and 1ovable men that are not fit to hold out wooden cigars at to- bacconists door to entreat the wayfarer to enter and purchase the very inferior cigars of British commerce. Nay, even in Vest minister Abbey and St. Pauls there are monumental marbles so hostile to art feel ing that single sight of them should be sufficient to place a sledge-hammer in the hands of veneratfon herself to smash them to atoms, as a pious duty to the past and to posterity Pure taste, true art instincts, do not show themselves so much by what they have as by what they reject; not so much by profusion of beauty as by severe exclusion of the coarse, the ugly, the sha1- low and the paltry. The artistic soul can be quite happy with bare walls, but not with bad pictures The musician is happy in silence, but he is wretched within ear shot of cheap music. When, therefore, one sees in the Royal Academy and the Gros- venor gallery many pictures of aggressive feebleness, pulling in conception and un- certain in execution, one can hardly enjoy the few works of true power of originality that are to be found there.

The Hot-Footed CentIpede.

ltrom the St. LOUIS GlObe-DemOcrat.
 Centipedes are composed of a body of from twenty to fifty segments, each provi- ded with two feet or claws. The front pair are more largely developed than the others. They form sort of ''foot-iaw,' 5 and are provided with poison glands. These are the apparatus by which the insect seizes it's prey, and when these jaws are brought together the pressure forces the ven om along the sharp points of the claws into the wound. The insect lives under damp stones and in old walls. If a centipede crawls over sleeping person (for it is night traveler), there is said to be enough poison exuded from it's claws to destroy the scarf skin, but not enough to do any serious dam age If, however, the sleeper should make some sudden movement that alarms or hurts the centipede, it prepares for war by extend ing it's claws into the skin of his involuntary entertainer. Of course the poison from the EEfoot- jawsp follows their insertion, and pain followed by efforts to remove the insect re- suit, so thrust after thrust of the poison bearing claws is made, and hence the idea that each of its feet provided with the same kind of weapon arises. Itching, fol- lowed by intense pain, is experienced; red spots appear at each puncture, which is red and becomes perfectly black at the center
 The inflammation travels along the lymphatic vessels of the part to the nearest glands, which enlarge and sometimes occasion ab- scesses There is great mental anxiety; pains in the head, back and limbs; weakness, fever and vomiting. In very rare instances con vu1sions, inconsistencies and death follow, sometimes within five or six hours In those who recover, troublesome sloughing of the skin and underlying tissues occasionally oc- cur. In some persons it is said that erup- tions appear every year over the parts of the skin affected by this kind of injury. The pede is the same as for spider bites It has also been advised to give chlora1 and carbolic acid internally. and to apply astringent washes externally in centipede bites

 A remarkable story comes from Woodland. A little child of that town, aged about two years, has been ailing for some time, and as the local physicians could not discover the cause the parents took the child to San Francisco, where it was examined by the leading physicians, who were equally as un- successful in their search for the ailment. It seemed that the infant must slowly die and the parents resigned all hopes of saving its life. But while the little one was receiving the customary morning bath a short time covered in it's side, which had formed very suddenly and seemed to contain some hard substance. A physician was called and de- cided to cut open the knot. Upon doing so it was found to contain china doll about two inches long, which the child had swal- lowed about 8 year since. The little one rapidly improved after the operation and is now as well and lively as ever.

The accounts published in several New York papers Monday of Hartford's experi- ence with Sundays earthquake had the true jingle of romance about them, and the city has undeservedly been pushed to the front as rival of Caraccas for earthquake honors. The ''specia1' despatches dated from Hart ford were more shocking than the earth quake itself, and journals like the New York Herald were badly bitten by them. Its un- official correspondent in his account told a remarkable tale of woe and devastation from which the following extracts are specimen bricks:
 At twenty-one minutes to three D. m. three long and convulsive shocks felt throughout the city dow down and in some cases badly bruised At the sec ond shock bells rung, houses rocked like cradles and all the crockery and glassware fell with a resounding crash. For some time the greatest of confusion reigned in the lower wards of the city from their homes with cries of consternation while the screams of women-many of whom falnted the streets One man was thrown from his wagon when the second shock was felt, hls ing trampling him under foot in their flight At the jail the greatest terror prevailed and for time it was feared that the panic stricken men cape. After the first conyusion their dismal howl thEe % blocks of the building Gsspated man bH the name of Doyle, who had been incarcerated there temporarily to await his trial, became per fectly crazy when the first shock came and raved like maniac. When he found he could not escape he retreated to a of the room and shiyering with terror hid himself beneath the coverings of his bed After awhile his means ceased and when they found him he dead from fright. At the State prison the same confusion prevailed, and the available force of the prison officials mustered to prevent outbreak It some time before order could be restored.
 The correspondent who loaded up out-of- town newspapers with cargoes of this sort of mush showed great genius, and becomes 8 formidable rival of Eli Perkins for the title of G. A L.-Hartford Courant

 NEW YORK, Aug. 12 The effects of yesterdays bank failure have al most entirely passed away and so far as the stock market concerned to-day exerted but little in- fuence on speculation. The fact that no other in- sttutions have been involved nor in any way crip- pied by the embarrassment of the bank in question has had the effect of restoring confidence to great extent, and although there was no great movement in stocks there was less disposition to sell than on yesterday. In fact neither element seemed disposed to make any ventures, apparently awaiting devel- opments. The day as a whole was dull one, little more than 200O00 shares changing hands. Business dragged along wearily and nothing worthy of note transpired in connection with the dealings. The changes were frequent, but rule confined with in narrow limits, mostly resulting from contests be- tween the various cliques for supremacy. The bears raided the leading stocks repeatedly, but every decline brought in plentiful supply of sup porting orders, and in this way every decline was not only recovered but at the close the majority of the stocks showed advance of 1s to 11S over the previous evening. The specialties were dull and neglected
