Pictures in tho Corcoran Gallery.


 Aghastly picture is the "Death of Moses, "in which angels bear the dead hero in their arms to the Messiah This is by Cabanel, and another picture which attracts a great deal of attention is Charlotte Corday in prison, in which the pale face of the enthusiastic girl looks with sad, determined face at you from behind the bars. ''The Lost Dogs," by Van Thoren, is another picture which has been widely copied. It represents two dogs in the snow hugging themselves close together, while the snow falls and the winds blows, and the cold surroundings are desolation personi- fled. This is a favorite subject for copyists, and nearly every other house in Washington has these lost dogs hanging over it's mantel- piece.
 Some of the finest of the pictures are small ones, and there is many pretty little gem in every out of the way corner. Some of the landscapes are very fine, and one of the larg- est landscapes is that of Bierstadt, being view of Mount Corcoran in the Sierra Ne vadas. Another fine painting is view of the waves rolling in upon the New Jersey coast, and in another painting Niagara Falls, with it's rainbow and the glisten of the water, is plainly seen. You see the mist rising, and you can almost hear the roar of the waters as they dash over the falls.
 Another fine painting represents an old sailor, with bronzed face, pulling his boat over the waves. His little 4-year-old daughter, whose fresh young face looks out of cap, sits beside him, and she has her hands beside his on the handle of the oar The old fisherman smiles as he looks down upon her, and the little girls face is full of eernestness. She thinks she is helping her father pull the boat, and the picture is en- titled ''The Helping Hand" It is an expen- sive picture, and it cost considerably more than congressman's yearly salary. There is picture of COW here, about three feet long and two feet wide, that cost s7, 900, and there are many expensive paintings.
 The greatest of American and French artists are here represented, and new pictures are being bought every year. The visitors to the Corcoran gallery are numbered by the tens of thousands annually, and the students who take advantage of it's opportunities for art study are hundreds. It will do more good as the years go on, and it will help us toward the becoming of an art producing and art loving nation.-Washingto Letter.

Revival of Roller Skating.

''There will be revival of the roller skat- ing craze this season." said we'll known dealer in sporting goods. "But of course it will not reach the proportions of couple of years ago, when it was impossible for the factories to keep up with the orders. People have not lost sight of tho fact that roller skating is healthy exercise, and there are already signs, judging from the orders we are receiving, that it has come to stay, as it should. ."-Chicago Tribune

Hint tn Honsekeeners.

Housekeepers who have been accustomed to judge of the age of turkey by the fexi- bility of the rear end of the breast bone will be grieved to learn that unprincipled poultry dealers pound the breast bones of aged tur- keys until the tip attains the fexibility con- sistent with youth, and thus render them marketable.

Emperor Williams Cook.

Emile Bernard, cook to the late Emperor William since 1858, always consulted with his imperial master in regard to the dishes of the day. The old monarch often asked the cook to explain the composition of certain dishes, and occasionally suggested an addi- tional aavoring, which indicated to the French chef that his majesty ''could feel his mouthfuls as we'll as swallow them."-Frank r

A widely known congressman was
called upon by a reporter whose paper
wanted to know what, in the congress
mans opinion, would and should be the
effect of an incident that had just occurred
at Washington and had greatly excited
the congressman's constituency.
Sorry, but | am too busy to give You
n moment today" said Mr.. -, as he
opened, slightly, the door of his private
Office; 'but look here, you are IA good
man and you know me pretty well. Sup
pose you go 10 the office and write up u
spicy interview and show me the proof.
l guess it will be all right
The reporter did SO, the congressman
changed not more than half n dozen lines
in the proof, and thc''interviewn when
published was quoted far and wide as the
valuable opinion Of a man especially quail
fed to speak upon the subject. Not only
did Mr.. - pay a high compliment to
the reporter for his implied familiarity
with current political events and good
judgment, but he showed that whatever
the reporter wrote-which, of course, was
subject to correction-it would be put in
such "a form that it would be interesting
to its readers.-W. +. Brigham in The
Writer.

One obstacle that has stood in the WAY
of planting that exotic, the telegraph pole,
in Chinese soil has been the widespread
belief among the %peasantry that the
strange whispering wires they support
when strung along near graveyards exert
q baleful influence upon the long sleep Of
their revered ancestors. AS nearly every
hilltop in China is crowned by the tOmbs
OF lamented forefathers, it has been very
difficult to select routes for telegraph
lines where the wires were not likely to
fall a prey 10 the popular prejudice against
them. 1t is noteworthy that the great
telegraph line which is to connect pekin
with Europe will take q short cut to the
Cobb desert, and will pass through less
than 800 miles Of inhabited country in the
BOO miles to kiachta, whore it will join
the Russian lines.-New York sun.

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The soft woolly sheep are knee deep In tho NEE
dow.
The clumsy old cows in the corn,
The little lambs blcat
As they list for your feet
Boy Blue! Boy Blue,
As they wait for your step in the morn.
The little bird swings on q bough by the window
And chirps TO her young IN the nest,
And the butteriiy's wings
Are the daintiest things,
Boy Blue! Boy Blue!
For he's dressed himself all in his best.
The little brown partridge, SO brisk and so saucy
Calls out TO bis neighbor, Bob White,"
And his poor little mate,
Who Is sleeping too late,
Boy Blue. Boy Blue,
Answers, Peas are not ripe-no, not gutter"
Why, even the leaves in the sunlight are dancing
And loud is the woodpecker's tap;
He shakes his small head
AT the wee one in bed,
Boy Blue. Boy Bluei
At the lazy boy taking his nap.
The roses are waiting, the lilis - are waiting,
So fresh from their bath in the dew;
Then open your eyes
To the light of the skies,
Boy Blue. Boy Blue.
For the whole world is waiting for you.

One sees many very beautiful women
among the Croatians and Slavonians. 1t
is quite surprising the number of lovely
faces that are to be seen in "A gathering Of
Croatian peasants.
The beauty of these countries inclines
to the passive, that madonna like style Of
loveliness i'll which figure dreamy, gazclle
like eyes and an expression of languOr
that, tells Of gcntieness personified. In
Servia and Roumelia, too, one finds this
type OF beauty prevalent, and in these
Balkan states, SO recently dominated by
the Turks, the women still possess n timid,
retiring disposition that causes them to 60
about with half yelled faces. The legacy
Of Osmauli dominion imparts TO the Serv
and Roumelian maiden the additional
charm OF mystery. One sees I'VE heavy
braids Of dark hair descending, perhaps,
well nigh To- the ground, and a pair Of
large, languishing black eyes lighting up
features that are half concealed behind a
veil of tulle ,-Thomas Stevens in CO.rier-
