certain portrait painter, whose name Is

absolutely original WORK. His charge is
never less than s@UO, and sometimes,
when the customer is very wealthy, as
in the present instance, he exactS twice

never let tie sitter see the un nished
likeness. lie simply posed in the studio
before the painter, whose easel Is so
placed that the canvas is not visible,
and nj the conclusion o. the sitting the
incomplete picture is turned face TO the
wall At once.
This usage was honored with so much
evident solicitude this time that the
curiosity Of the customer was aroused,
and he too: sly opportunity TO peep at
the reversed portraiture. There he saw
an unmiStakeable photograph oil him
self, partially overlaid with paint The
distinguished artist had at the outset
managed 10 aim a concealed camera at
his postured patron, and from this sur
reptitiOus negative had made bigger

brown sugar. and the native would have

had bitten it in two and handed him the
smaller half. Twenty-Five rusty musket
caps were given for five beautiful white
fox skins; and went into mathemati-
