WAsHINGToE, Jan. 14.-There is very little
likelihood now that the bills providing pub
lie buildings for upward of fifty cities
throughout the country and additional
amounts for buildings which have been pro-
vided for, will be passed at this session OF
Congress-. Then 81 the work of considering
the measures must be done over again. The
cities which have sent representatives
here 10 work for buildings will have to Sc I'D
them back again. At some points where
there are disputes, growing out OF made
qnste appropriations, and work has been
stopped upon buildings, another year must
roll around before the WORK can be resumed.
Mr.. Randall has put his foot down upon
these measures. He says they are jobs and
can lot pass-st least some OF them, or ali

A Study of Flesh.

RI me Letter In San Francisco Chronicle.
The exposition of the French academy at the
Villa Medica this season, has caused quite a
scandal. Doucet one Of the pensloners--a quiet,
gentleman-like artist perfectly reputable and
excellent person-has painted for this exposi
ton, strange to say very coarse picture; not
lascivious but coarse. 1t IL called the "In-
terror Of Harem." The light is DIM three
or four indistinet forms of naked women are seen
sitting about in awkward positions. There are
no fine stuffs, no gorgeous decorations no dazzling
coors; the whole attention is directed TO the en-
tirely nude body of q robust woman of the Reu-
bens type who lies sleeping apparently on the
front plane of tho picture. Her face cannot be
seen, as her back is toward the spectator. AS a
study OF flesh, mere human flesh, the picture is
truly marvellous work of art but in every 9TH
err respect is not only unattractive, but absolute
ly repulsive
After all that may be said in defense of nudity
in art by artists, most of us shrink from the
sight of it in modern art; we accept it with
pleasure only in sculpture. especially ancient
sculpture. The Venus of Milo, the Venus
of the Capitol, the Apoxyomenos of the
Vatican, the Apollo Sauroktonos, the
Hermes of Olympia, are such divine per-
lection of human development that the
beholder forgets all modern artificial rules
of decorum when looking at them. They are
beings OF far-off age; exquisite forms mani
tested in a strange marble existence. But in
painting the nude almost always gives a shock
TO sensitive and refined nature. Titiau's
Venus, Rubens huge, rudy women, with all
their exquisite execution, and the beauty given
them by their creators, they are, to say the
least, most unattractive.

The horsewoman should sit so that the weight
of the body falls exactly in the center OF the
saddle, without heavily bearing on the stirrup,
able to grasp the upright pommel with the right
knee and press against the hunting norm" with
her left knee yet not exerting any muscular
action for that purpose. For this end the stirrup
leather must be neither TOO long nor too short
The ideal of a fine horsewoman is to be erect
without being rigid. square to the front, and,
until quite at homo in the saddle looking re-
ligiously between her horses ears. The shorl-
ders must, therefore, be square, but thrown back
little, so as to expand the chest and make
hollow waist, such as is observed in waltzing,"
but always flexible. On the fexbility of the
person above the waist, and on the firmness be-
low, all the grace Of equestransm, all the safety
depends. Nervousness makes both men and
women poke their heads forward IA stupid trick
in u man, objectionable in woman. A lady
should bend like willow In a storm, always re-
turning to an easy yet nearly upright position.
This seat should be acquired while the lady's
horse is led first by hand. then with leading
stick and finally with a lunging rein, which will
Give room for cantering in circles. But whore

A newly married couple were en- route to

Amateur Photography.

Uefnorest Tor June.
There is therefore, no reason whatever why
any young lady may not in few weeks produce
really excellent end artistic photographs. A
camera is simply a small wooden box having n
bellows at one side, and SO arranged that the
box can be extended at will In the front Of the
box is lens, and at the back sheet of ground
glass. On placing the box in the window with
the lens toward the light vague image or pic
ture Will appear upon the ground glass, BY
moving tho bellows forward or backward a point
will be found where the shadowy image ON the
Whatever Is to be seen out the window will be
found inverted On the glass. Every movement of
the camera, however slight will affect the pic

glass removed from tho back of the box We
have near small wooden box containing a
sensitive camera and a little slide in the box is
drawn out Now take the cap off the lens for n
few seconds. Return the slice TO the box and
take the box from the camera. This is the
whole Of the work. and any bright child ten years
OLD can be taught TO do it correctly in fifteen
minutes. Any lady can surely do this, and il
she does no more she is practically photogra-
pher.
The purchase of prepared plates, putting them
in the holders, setting up the camera, etc. are
merely matters OF detail that no one would be-
willing to admit they could not do. While this
work is extremely easy, it gives field for the
display OF the highest artistic skill The se-
lection of the view, the arrangement Of the
lights and shadows. the pose of the subject aud
