CORN-KERNEL PORTRAITURE.
Picture of an Indian Maiden in Cereal
Form at the Agricultural Department.

An art-work of queer and novel sort. in
mosaic, is to be seen Just now in the Office Of
the assistant secretary OF agriculture, Mr..
Willis. II is about four feet high bv three
and one-half feet in width, and represents an
Indian maiden called "Minnehaha." The pic
ture-for such it looks from a little distance-is
found, when one scrutiuizes it closely, to be
composed entirely of different species of corn.
| 1t is, in fact exhibition in small compass of
all the varieties Of corn grown in the state of
Missouri. The frame Of the picture is made of
large black corn, each kernel nailed to the
wooden surface, which the thickly-set grains
entirely cover, by a single tiny brad Indeed
all the kernels composing the mosaic-and
there are many thousands of them-are fas
tened on individually in the same manner
The sky IN the picture is made of white corn
and two or three trees Of red and black corn. SO
Judiciously combined, as to give the effect of
branches and foliage little way off, Beneath
the trees stands the Indian maiden her head
dress of brown and yellow corn her frock of
brown and dark red corn with an ornamental
edglng OF yellow and white corn, her stockings
OF red corn with yellow corn stripes Her
fesh-tints are well represented by a pinkish
corn with the grains set up on edge instead of
laid Hat, the brads being driven through edge
wise SO as to hold them in that position very
close together, the result being a smoother
effect The bow upon which Minnehaha leans
is made of kernels set up on edge also and the
| same device is used for most of the more
| elaborate features of the design, making q
contrast that greatly assists the chiaroscuro
The ground is made to shade of from fore
ground to background by an artful arrange
ment OF yariegated eorns in different tints. It
| Is superb exhibit. altogether of Missouri's
wealth IN eorns, though it is probable that no
Indian young lady in real life ever had so

Ii Did Look That Way.

The Lounger IN MI. Cr1tic-
A friend who has just returned from Paris
tells me an amusing and characteristic snec-
dote. During the recent exposition there was
a little railroad FIVE miles in length, running
around the grounds. The track ran in and out
among the trees and buildings and 80 near
them that passengers head or arm thrust out
of the window was in danger of being knocked
OF. To prevent accidents Of this sort warn
lngs were printed on large posters and tacke
up at intervals of few yards
along the entire track They were
printed IN almost every known language, in
cluaing Asiatic and African tongues, short
hand and yolapuk- Ny friend counted over
thirty languages and dialects You would have
supposed that none was omitted IN such q list
But there was one omission, and a very inn
portant one. Not single word Of warning was
printed in German! Some one said 20 the
manager of the road: 1t looks az though you
didn't care whether the Germans got their
heads and arms knocked Of or not" He
smiled q quiet smile and replied, III does
look that way, sure enough"

manship-Old Vessels in the Basin.

There are not many people here in Washing
ton who realize that within a few miles of this
city, with all its modern improvements and
nineteenth century life. there is an old
town redolent with airs and memories of a
couple Of generations ago, fragrant with relni-
nlscences of cOlOnialism, full of history. The
fact that Annapolis was founded in 1919, or 24O
years ago, Is sufficient ground on which to
Claim for 1t at least well-seasOned foundation.
Set IN the midst of the most valuable relics OF
two centuries Is one of the most beautiful, pic
turesque spots in this part Of the country, the
naval academy, an exponent Of the latest ideas
in science and art, in sharp contrast with Its
surroundings.
DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.
Not long ago the Secretaries of State and
Navy took down to Annapolis. the foreigners
who are now in Washington as delegates to the
Pan-American congress and the interna tional
maritime conference. and a STAR reporter with
q photographs apparatus at his side went
along 10 seek for new things, pretty things. and
odd things. Annapolis Is not at its best at this
time OF year. Ii looks "a little more common
place IN It's dinglness. perhaps. than when the
now naked trees are in full leaf. Leaving the
railroad station one turns into the musty old
town, where the bright uniforms of an occa-
siOnal naval officer show OF well agails. the
hOmespun of population which. so FAR the
appearance of the streets go, is largely Ethio-
plan. The walk 20 the academy is not long,
and Is through regions in which an antiquar-
ian might spend weeks OF time probably. The
state capitol looks Just bit disappOlntingly

part of the archaic ritual known only to the
priesthood. Even if the farmer buys the

CHEROKEE LIFE.
Chow do these people live?'
SIN the simplest log cabins, many Of them
without windows or floors, the people are often
very cold in winter, but they don't seem to
mind it. They are purely agricultural, and
corn bread and salt pork chiefly compose their
diet. Such game as they get-rabbits, squirrels
birds, and other small fry-is shot with blowguns
made of hollow fshpole canes with the joints
bored out. In the use Of this weapon they are
SO expert that they can bring down a small bird
from the top of a tall tree with one of the
light reed arrows feathered with thistledown
which they employ for projectiles. The canes
they need for making the blowguns are obtained
from brakes in South Carolina, mostly 100 TO
200 miles away. To illustrate the value set By
Cherokee upon his time, it occurs to me TO
mention that on one occasion, when / wanted
a blowgun-possibly worth 70 cents-I asked
one Of the Indians to sell me one. He sid he
