The policy OF paying Legislators by
the day is bad one and ought to be
abolished. Our law makers are of
course uuselfish patriots, but they are
human as well, and they never seriously
object to getting just as much from the
Taxpayers as the latter will reasonably
stand. a just return for labor, by the
term, will have the wholesome effect Of
putting through the business OF each
session with the same dispatch that a
man would exercise in his own private
busine ss.

Henry Savage Landor, the young Eng
lish painter who is doing so much in his
direction to sustain the great name made
by his grandfather, Walter Savage
Landor, in The direction of letters, tells
us that in Morocco the natives run away
and hide whenever they see an artist
preparing to make sketches. He says
that when he first visited that country
he one day drew forth his pocket sketch
box and innocently began sketching a
section of little bazar street, where
upon, much to his establishment, the
merchants all hurriedly bundled their
stocks into large cloth wrappers and
scampered away. He subsequently
learned that these Moors believe the
painter or sculptor who reproduces their
bodies invites their souls to occupy his
counterfeit presentments. The Moors
are said to have many stories of persons
who have lost their souls by reason of
portraits having been made of their
bodies If we could get the ear of the
MoorS a few moments we believe we
could allay their fears by proving to
them that it is only here and there a
painter or sculptor puts any soul what
ever into his work.-New York Star

Canvas, regarded from an artists point
of view. is the principal material upon
which oil paintings are made. Two kinds
are prepared for this purpose, of which
the best is called ticking. Before it is
put into the artists hands it is usually
primed or grounded of neutral gray OF
other tint. Certain sizes of canvas being
in greater request than Others are kept
ready stretched on frames Those used
for portraits are known by the names OF

Reatle's Realism.

Toward the end Of his life, it is said
Charles Reade was accustomed to dictat,
his compositions to a secretary while h
paced the room, suiting his actions to hi
words. In Love and Money" the re
mark occurs in the dialogue, "There's {
smut on your nose" The dramatist gave
the original exclamation with such per
feet intonation aud gesture that his secre'
tary was for once deceived. He rose anC
went TO the mirror, handkerchief in hand
only to be laughed at by his employer -

Bells Cunning

After Billy Bishop captured Bell aud

self walking up and down the room. Oa
a shelf in the room was a knife and
Bells keeu eye caught sight Of it. He
backed up to the shelf and got bold of
the knife and cut the rope that tiei him.
Bishop suspected something wrong anu
secured another piece Of rope 80 as TO
make assurance doubly sure. He told
Bell to step out and be would loosen
The rope; Bell said he need not mind the
rope cid not burt him. Bishop insisted
and Bell made dash and caught Bishop
around the waist but did not succeed in

"a rose by any other name would
smell just as sweet" When the Stand
ard theatre company gave compliment
tary matinees at the opera house few
months ago people would not accept
passes to go to the show and yet there
was nothing either in the songs or say
ings that would offend anyone. Had
the company been called the Jennie
Jones Megathorian Minstrels the house
would have been crowded. Cort's COM
pany lacked patronage when at the
opera honse because it was known that
they came from the old Palace, and just
here / recall to my mind the remark OF
the Swedish Nightingale when she sang
in hall that had once been used by a
circus company: "You may rake it, you
may scrape it,you may do what you viii
the scent of the horses will hang round
it still" So it is with the Standard
people; let them offer to sing in church
choir and half the congregation wOull
stay away because of the company's as
sociation with place that does not bear
the brightest of reputationg, not because
their ability to sing is not as good as
others who appear in high toned places
of amusement. The company which
appeared at the opera house last week
may be seen in most af the large eastern
cities doing the 10, 20 and 80 circuit

THE CHAP ON THE CORNER.

In 10 time during the history OF Port
Townsend have such preparations been
made to celebrate an event as there
have for the coming Fourth OF July
The cUum.t.cr. - arrangements have
proven themselves especially fitted to
the task and not stone has been left
unturned by them in the fuIfiilment of
the duties imposed upon them to make
the affair perfect success.

To resl.zc the vast improvements in
building that are going on here one
should 30 away for q fortnight aud
then take a stroll on the hill. That is
what the chap on the corner did and
when he walked around among the resi-
dences Sunday afternoon he Was sur
prised. Such changes are read of in
fairy tales but seldom found in reality
He found in the Mountain View eddi
ton, where few weeks ago was piece
OF woodland, number of beautiful
residences in the course Of erection.
And the same may be said of Tibbal's
Lake Park. Hastings, Pettygroves and
every other addition. The improve
ments are going on as fast as the work
men can ply their tools The few weeks
of dulIness has been followed by a Pc
riod OF activity such as our pretty little
city has never experienced.
