A oEsrUs' WIZ.

Millet was not Indifferent to or in.
capable Of working from nature or of
APPLYING it TO his pictures in progress.
His son has frequently told me Of his
desire to make more studies from the
living model and his regret at not being
able to do SO. 1t seemed to be difficult
for Millet to approach people that he
wanted to have pose for him, and this
Office of asking a present man or wo-
man to sit for him always fell upon his
wife. But these sittings were never
long nor tiresome; he wanted only the
few facts of form or color which that
particular model could give him. For
a detail or a special quality he would at
times take the greatest pains.
Madame Millet has told me of having
worn the toughest Of peasant dresses
about the house and garden for weeks,
that when it pleased him her husband
might call upon her to pose for some
part of a picture upon which he would
be at work, and of Millet compelling
her to wear the same shirt for an un-
comfortably long time; not to Laint the
dirt, as the early critics of Millet would
have us believe, but that the rough
linen should simplify its folds and take
the form of the body, that he might
give a fresher and stronger account to
those qualities he SO loved-the gar
ment becoming, as, it were, a part of
the body, and expressing, as he has
said, even more than the nude, the
larger and more simple forms of ma.

PAaANINI's GRAVE.
In the Mediterranean, not far from
the town of Cannes, lies st. Ferreol, a
naked rock, bristling with stony spines
and points, and evidently bidding de-
fiance to any one who would dare seek
a foothold. A little earth has accum-
ulated in its hollows, and affords nour-
ishment to beautiful lilies and blue iris.
Here for FIVE years lay the body OF
Paganini, the great musician.
In 1910 he was on his way home to
Genoa, accompanied by his son, and
died at Nice, where the cholera was
raging. The son Immediately took his
body on board ship and set sail for
Genoa, but On his arrival there the au-
thorities refused to give burial to the
musician, whose we'll known peculiari.
ties had given rise to a general belief
in his insanity.
Moreover, the cholera was also rag.
ing at Genoa, and it was pretended that
the presence of the body of one who
had died where the disease was prevail
ent might increase the alarm of the
people.
The son then returned to Marseilles,
but entrance to that port was refused
him for the same reason, and he went
on to Cannes, which was also closed to
him. His plight was a desperate one,
and when he ct last CHANGED to sight
st. Ferreol, a new thought suggested
itself. He effected a landing there,
with the greatest difficulty, and buried
his fathers body in the center of the
islet.
In 1845 the body wa removed, and
taken to Genoa for burial. One car

An automatic toll taking device has
been invented TO bs attached to tele-
phones at public or pay stations. The
mechanism in the telephone box Is so
arranged that the telephone will not
operate until a coin Of certain size and
weight dropped into a slit In front acts
upon a switch lever, thereby making
electrical connection between the trans
mitter and the line wire. The act of
hanging the receiving telephone, after
use, in the place lrovided for 1t, drops
the coin into a till and releases the
switch lever, thereby breaking the
electrical connection and "setting the

written on the features OF the little

birds at play, and for several minutes
he stood there INDUCING in q constant

one bird attempted TO force his mate

gentleman betokened only an ordinary

and shook the hand OF the newcomer.

Il was an interesting group-Dr. Oliver
