pictures and writes magazine articles
in time of peace, but when a war is
'on'he becomes a "war correspondent"
and is likely TO turn up in Soudan, the
T%ransvaaL, or the Balkans. But there
was a time when he was not known.
He sent picture to exhibitions, to be
sure, and good ones, but no one paid
any particular attention TO them or
said anything about them. One day
he conceived an idea. He painted a
picture of a lady in black sitting on a
bright red sofa standing against a Wv
id yellow background. The effect was
just q trifle startling, Friends who
saw it in process of production expos
tulated with him, and asked him what
he was going to do with it They
were simply astounded when he an.
nOunced that he was going to send it
to the exhibition. They labored with
him, but in vain. They told him that
the critics would wipe the floor
with him. They can't do that with
out mentioning me-" said Frank,
quietly, land they've never done that
yet" To the exhibition the picture
went. 1t killed everything within
twenty feet on either side of it. You
couldn' t help looking at it 1t simply
knocked you down and held you there.
The critics got into a towering passion
over it. They wrote whole columns
about it They exhausted the English
language in abusing il. They ridiculed
the committee that permitted it to be
hung. They had squibs and gibes
about it, but every time they spoke Of
it they mentioned Frank Millet. He
suddenly became the best-known
artist in town. Somebody, because of
the stir that it had made, bought the
picture at a good price, and removed
it to the seclusion of his own home.
When the next exhibition came of
Frank had another picture ready, one
of a very different sort, and very good
but no better than others which had
been exhibited before. The critics had
much to say about it and ''noted with
pleasure the marked Improvement"
that Mr.. Millet had made, IAN evil
dence." as they modestly put it, of
the value of criticism. even though
severe, 10 a young artist. And a ma
iority of them never saw that Frank
had simply compelled their attention

The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some of the birthmarks Pc
culiar TO the African race. The
new generation is showing the effects
Of a higher culture. Especially is this
noticeable in the towns where contact
with the whites shows its effect. The
fatnosed, kinky-headed negro is pass
ing away and becoming a unknown
race. All the colored children, no
matter how dusky in hue, show the
change. Among the females, long hair
of that peculiar woolly appearance,
hangs in long braids or curles down
their backs. Aquiline noses and smaller
mouths with thinner lips are the rule.
For years, and in fact ever since their
freedom, the negresses have endeavor-
ed to do away with the short kinky
hair bestowed upon them by their an
cestors. Much Of their spare change
is invested in various tonics and invig-
orators, and the long attention and
care bestowed upon it is shown in their
descendants The South Georgia me-
