Perhaps the most familiar form of all is
the dragon, that seems to have an es-
pecially strong hold upon upon the Chinese
as well as St. George. Some houses of
worship, called popularity Joss houses" D."
are known to true believers as temples of
the dragon King" The dragon in some
shape is seen about nearly every house of
worship. To it the Charleston laundry
men, if there were any, probably laid the
earthquake in August, and the San Fran
cisco devouts call TO mind this terrible
monster whenever any conyulsion occurs
here. The ordinary dragon would pass
for the American sea serpent as depicted
by the average landlord about September
l. Long and snake like, covered with
scales, painted red or gilded, its caudal fin
set of streamers, the dorssl like huge
saw, it presents an uncanny appearance,
yet is picturesque. The head is simply ap-
palling; the mouth enormOus-a red cav
ernous abyss, with plentiful supply Of
teeth, from among which extends the
tongue. Well made dragons generally
have mustache. Snakes of all kinds are
considered as the earthly manifestations
of the dragon and consequently occasion
ally are wOrshiped.-San Francisco

was court painter TO hllf the courts of Europe,
and how twice married he used his wife as
the naked model for his most celebrated pic
lures. All this and much more they will tell
you, and If You talk to them Of his art you
will find that they think him with Rembrandt
the greatest of artists. Undoubtedly he was
a great artist, but his pictures are too sensual,
his angels look too much like fat country

Both Belgium and Holland are largely

up, out the young man with the bayonet ds-
couraged them, whereupon the plucky Mrs.
Parsons walked up TO him and talked to him
in a way that so disintegrated his self-respect
that he retired into an anteroom and put
down his weapon Of carnage in salf-loathing.
Meantime the owner of the hall urged the
people TO step down and out, but instead they
stepped up and in. Then the city mar
shal and his able force were sent for.
they arrived, and began TO drive the audi
ence out, first rounding them into the center
of the hall, and then attempting 10 drive
them TO the door, cowboy style. Mrs. Par
sons again came to the rescue and energetic
ally put backbone into her listeners. She as
sured them that she had u contract for the
hall, and when the marshal realized the truth
and force Of this he desISted from eXpelllng
her audience, but stayed. with his men, to keep
the plucky little petticOated Anarchist from
picking up Orange and carrying it off into
some awful region peopled only by Anarch-
lists and reformers
Then Mrs. Parsons mounted a bench in q
corner of the hail. and as she stood there,
with burning eyes and blazing cheeks, the
most fear laden of her auditors admitted that
she was handsome. a dozen or more men
were so overcome with respect for her cour-
age that they invOluntarily took off their
hats and stood near her Some of the eN-
tremely respectable and nOticeably prominent
citizens present stood afar OFT, and couldn't
possibly be suspected of having the faintest
degree of sympathy with the fiery little
speaker The owner Of the hall moved about
uneasily, telling his side of the story to any
one complaisant enough 10 listen, while the
city marshal also explained his attitude
Meantime Mrs Parsons spoke TO the end Of
her bent, anil at last went away with victory
perched particularly high upon her banner.
Mrs. Parsons will remain here a week or SO
longer, and las promised to lecture a number
of times. She has engagements to speak in
Brooklyn, Newark, Jersey City, New Haven,
Bridgeport, Boston, Pittsburg and Cleveland.
In a letter to her husband recently she
spoke of the social fabric of the metropolis as
one which filed her with disgust, and that
the degradation of the laboring poor filled
her heart with pity. HOMER c. WIXON.

These Belgian peasants have among them
some very good looking girls, and when
young they make quite pretty picture in their
Shaker-like bonnets and their Puritan-likc
caps. l remember one, especially, who had
evidently come into Antwerp with her father,
doubtless a prosperous farmer, to do some
shopping. She was about Is and her cheeks
had the dark, rosy tint common TO these
people, who are ever favored by the breezes
of the North sea Her hair was black and
glossy, and it hung down in bangs over her
forehead, above two as gently beautiful soft
hazel eyes as have ever seen III any drawing
room. Her cap was of the whitest the rib
bons Of her bonnet bright cardinal and
black plaid. and her bright red dress was
filled in with a square bosom of white plated
linen, a large loose collar was clasped under
her chin by big breastpin Of gold, and
fine gold chain suspended jet cross over her
bosom Her lips were as red as those Of
Ruben's beauties in the Antwerp galleries,
and her form was as plump and round as tina;
of the moiels of this great Belgian master.
Spsaking of Rubens, Antwerp was his home
for wears. aud it was here that he achieved
his greatness The people of Belgium are
very proud of him, and there is great bronze
statue of him in the Place Neite, in Antwerp,
near the noted cathedral in which two OF his
greatest pictures hang. They show you the
mansion which he built in the Place de Melr
and lead you to his summer house IN the gar
den and to the yew tree under which he loved
70 sit. They will talk TO you about his Sareer
and his art They viii tell you that he was a
learned man, and that his father intended
him for q lawyer; that he did not like the law

Italy, and how he came back here to make
fortunes by his brush and to spend them
as fast as they were made. How be lived
