Velasquez' last great picture. known
in Spain as LAS Meninas," or 1.-THE
Maids of Honor" represents the royal
family, with the maids of honor, the
dwarfs, O sleeping hound, and the art
list himself standing before the easel
with pencils in hand. Doubtless the
great master was very weary Of repeat
ing again and again the faces of the
king and his children, and the idea
came to him to make this picture some
thing more than a portrait. 1t gives
the whole scene precisely as it was, and
is thus historical. 1t represents one
moment in the life OF all the notable
people whom it reproduces exactly as
it was passed by them; the faces of the
king and queen are seen in mirror,
for the special purpose Of the work
ives thought to be the portrait of the
little Infanta, or princess, who is stiff
ly placed in the center, with her little
maids around her.
When Philip saw this picture, he said
it wanted but one thing; and he took a
brush, and in the most unskillful man
ner painted a red cross upon the breast
of the portrait of Velasquez. Thus
was the artist made Knight of the Or
der of Santiago. and the manner in
which the knighthood was conferred
was the highest compliment ever paid
to a painter.
This famous picture is not beautiful.
The color is dull, its whole tone being
an olive-green gray; the persons rep
resented are not beautiful, Velasquez
is the only graceful figure there; but
in spite OF this it has great power, it
is picture that one can not turn away
from hastily.--Clara Erskine Glenn

North Wales. in Devonshire, on the I'd day OF
May. 1914. He lived in Devonshire nineteen
years, and emigrated to this country in 1888
with but one friend accompanying him. He
stopped at Prairie Ronde, where he remained
six years, marrying Lucy Heath in 1889, and
shortly thereafter removing to what is known
as the Jones farm in Bangor. Three chill
dren were born to them, one of whom died
in 1864. His wife died in 1862, and in 1868
he removed to Arlington, and, in January OF
the next year, was married to Melissa John

IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE NEEDED.
Fourth-We are permitting 10 pass by us into
the sea one of the great sources of wealth TO the
state. All our great valleys are susceptible OF
irrigated agriculture.
In 1852 your PRESIDENT H. N. LaRue, ex-
pressed it as as his solemn opinion that, while
diversified agriculture is highly desirable and
in mot countries is Indispensable to success ful
fHming, he felt bound to say that greatly diver
sMed agriculture is not possible or practicable
in this State that the only practical diversity to
farming IN the great wheat growing areas OF the
san joaquin and Sacramento valleys, except
when irrigation is resorted to, relates to grow
ing stock. Now that we are confronted with
the fact that wheat can no longer be grown at q
profit and that stock growing alone could not
be made profitable On these high-priced lands,
this opinion leads to very serioais reflections.
My opinion Is that Mr.. Lame has greatly
understated the fact; that certainly in most of
the sacramento valley lands fruits of many
kinds may be grown without irrigation, and
that diversified farming may be entered upon
safely sac profitably: but the Introduction OF

Line of Cure for Suffering.

Suffering is purely nervous diff
Guilty. The vocal muscles are able to do
perfect work, but, from deficient inner
walton the mind can not command them
fully, and the trouble of speech COM
mences, and soon the habits formed,
and generally grows worse and worse.
The mind fears that the words will fail,
and as the result they do fail. If the
fear could be removed, the trouble would
in large part cease. A cure can be ac-
complished in no way but by the per-
sistent and determined effort Of the suf-
ferer himself. Others can accomplish
little for him. If his attention and his
fear can be removed from the muscles of
his throat while speaking, If he can for
get that any trouble is there, he will
soon improve in his power. This is the
one line in which his efforts must be
made, and with persistent patience it can

The Cars and Buses of Paris.

The great feature of the cars and
buses in Paris is that they are never
crowded. The conductor has no right
TO allow any one to board his convey
ance after the seats are all taken, and if
he has a platform no more than three,
or at the outside four, are on this. The
conductor always rigidly enforces the
law against overcrowding. When all
the seats are full the driver touches a
cord which communicates with little
signboard bearing the word 3complet,
which Immediately shows itself, and an
nounces to the public the fact that a
seat on that conveyance is not to be had
for love or money. Should the con-
ductor's sweetheart then come along
adorned in the heighth of Partisan
fashion, she could not secure ride with
out rendering her lover liable to severe
penalty.-New York Times.

Cheap Books published in England.

The publication of cheap books in Eng
land, as well as here, has led to a mar
velous improvement in the character of
the works issued for popular circulation.
Instead of the familiar penny dreadfuls
and shilling shockers, the cream of Eng
lish literature is now found in the book
stalls and on the railway news stands at
a price accessible to all. A strange
feature of the change is that American
writers now compete in England with
the home authors-Hawthorne, Holmes,
Whittier, Howells and James, not to
mention Longfellow, being almost in
variably found beside Dickens, Thack-
cray, Disraeli, Blackmore, Collins, Black
and Tennyson. 1t is a good thing for
the public, but we fear the authors lose
by it.-New York Graphic.
