The Rosa Bonheur of Cats.

Comparatively few animal painters
of note have made cats their specia
study, although puss is ever handy for
model, and the antics of kittens are
unsurpassed in grace and variety.
True there has been an artist who was
called tho Raphael of cats, for the per-
fection with which he portrayed the
feline tribe; and the heads of cats en-
graved by Hollar, as well as the rare
print of a cat sleeping with rat be-
hind her, by Cornelius Visscher-both
artists living in the seventeenth Gen.
tury-are still the delight of every body
who takes an interest in the domestic
tiger. But in more recent times it was
left to Dutch lady to become the
Rosa Bonheur of cats. Mrs. Ronner-
Knip, is the daughter of the landscape
painter L. A. Knip, and was born at
Amsterdam in 1921. Familiar with tho
brush before she was 8 years old, she
followed the example of her father and
devoted herself to the rendering of
landscapes and cattle. After having
married Feico Ronner of Brussels she
found that too much of her time was
taken up by household duties to con-
tinue her outdoor studies and took to
the painting of domestic pets as a
specially. Masking the cat her favorite.
Very soon Mrs. Ronner-Knip made her
mark in this branch of animal paint
ing, and her humorous rendering of
cats and kittens were eagerly sought
after by connoisseurs. Besides being
an expert colorist, she delineates the
characteristics of her pets with extra.
ordinary skill.

found that had been carried BY the
stream against the overhangine willow
tree, snd that tho tough and plant
branches had rescued him from dread
ed and all but inevitable death. He
climbed out Of the water, holding on
tight by the willow rods. They bore
his weight bravely; he stepped on land
and saw the huge trunk and broken
branches of the fallen elm tree. His
farmer eye could not help gauging its
worth. '.Not near 50 much wood there

often to come and sit by the riverside
under its Shadow. He did not speak;
he merely sat there quite still and sill
ent, looking into the water and
toying with the willow rods.
And when he died there was q willow
leaf found in the leaves of his Bible.

This is my story, children. / want
you to remember the old truth. that the
best things are often done by the SEEM
ingly weak. Strong men have run away
before danger, when weak women
have stood to face it. Proud. boast
full people seldom give the help we ex-
pect. 1t 1iay be pleasant thing to
associate with the rich and the power
full, but these often fail lis when we
most want their help, One, who was
not discontented man, but only .
wise one said: ''Put not your trust in
princes, nor in any child of man, for
there is no help in them.' One wise
man said that, aud hundreds of sad
men found it to be true. DR.. johnson
was a great man but he was
poor; Lord Chesterfield was rich,
and proffessed to be his friend.
But Dr: johnson found no help in him.
We are always thinking of the great
and rich as our helpers. But in times
of trouble it is often among the simple
and the lowly that we find our best
friends.
And, oh ! how true this is. When
sin is strong, or when death is coming,
we shall not think of kings and states
men, who have been lofty as tho Gins
and lifted up like cedars; but we shall
think of one who, though lowly and de-
spiscd and rejected of men, is the Sa-
viour from sin, and the Resurrection
and the Life.
And, children, lowly though you may
be, your little may be better than the
best, stronger than the strongest which
the great ones of the earth can do.

Stranger Than Fiction.

Herman Krause and Anna Eeschcn-
bach, each of whom was born in the:
little German town of Friederichsaw on.
the Rhine about hirty-eight years ago,
and whose peculiar outfit and small
acquaintance with the English lam
guage indicated that they were strang--
ers to these shores, were married yes,
terday by Mayor Whitney in his Office
in the City Hall, Brooklyn. The May
or and Secretary Phillips each kissed
the bride a1d wished the couple alE
kinds of prosperity. 1t was not.
until after they had gone that the May
or learned that the marriage was the
climax of long and romantic attach
ment. The story is that Herman and,
Anna, when a boy and girl together
in the little town on the Rhine. had
fallen in love. When the Franco-Ger--
man war broke out Herman became
soldier. and Anna, with equal patriot
ism. accompanied his corps as nurse;
in one of the Red Cross hospital wag-
ons. Early in the campaign Herman.
with score of his comrades, we're:
mown down by a French shell, and
being supposed to be dead, he was bu~
ricd with the others in a trench.
During the night Anna went to the
trench and dug up the body of her sup
posed dead lover. TO her surprise he
showed signs of life. He was sent to
the hospital and he recovered. Annals
grief, however. was intense when she
was informed that an injury TO his
skull was of such q nature that he
could never recover his reason.
Years rolled on, Krause remaining
in military hospital and Anna in her
native village. Her father had mean--
while come to this country, and nearly
two years ago, in despair of ever see
ing Krause restored to reason, she
joined him in Brooklyn. Last fall a,
German physician succeeded in per-
forming an operation on Krause's:
skull, which brought it back to its
normal condition and this restored his
reason. He then thought of the girl
who had followed him to the war and
saved his life, aud he never rested till
he found her in this country.
The marriage followed as matter
of course. Mayor Whitney, who be-
lieves the story, says it is not more im-
probable than other tales of love and
war which he has heard.

Warning BY Birds.

1t is said Chat the migration of birds
will foretell severe weather, and it is
we'll known by the bird-catcher that
when the larks and other northern
birds appear snow and hard weather
will follow the flight. These warnings
of migration birds, though apparently
insignificant, may be of vast political
and even national importance. If the
Emperor Napoleon, when on the road
TO Moscow with his army in 1911, had
condcscended to observe the tight
of storks and cranes passing over the
fated battalions subsequent events in
the politics of Europe might have been
different. The storks and cranes knew
of the coming on of a great and terrible
winter; the birds fastened toward the
south, Napoleon and his army toward
the north.
