Resemblances in Married Couples.

At recent meeting OF the Photo
graphic Society of Geneva, Switzerland,
Professor IL. Fol presented paper on
resemblances in married couples. Ac-
cording to the British Journal of Pho
Biography, he stated that out of seventy
eight young couples autographed for the
purpose of his Investigations, he found
that in twenty-four cases the resem-
blance III the personal appearance of the
husband and wife was greater than that
of brother and sister, in thirty cases it
was equally great, and in only twenty
four was there a total of absence of re-
semblance.

There iia curious fact 10 Le noted in
association with the exhibition of 1.-THE
Angelus' ut the American Art Galleries
This is that that costly work was not in.
sured for cent The association had
fire patrol on hand night and day, and
in case of fire certain pictures, the chief
OF them The Angelus." would have
been carried to safe place in pretty
short order. There are Il great many
ways out Of the galleries. What with
windows on three streets and blind en-.
frances on Broadway and Twenty second
street, in addition to the main entrance
and scuttles leading to roofs that extend
without a break to Fourth avenue, a
great deal Of property might be rescued
if fire was discovered in time.
With an efficient Ere patrol CT guard,
the association could afford to take the
chance of insuring itself. | see some
western paper has printed the story of an
alleged plot to steal THE Angelus.
This is pure bosl. 1t would not pay any
one TO steal a picture so well known, be-
cause no dealer. collector or public mu.
scum would dare buy it, and any one to
whom it was offered, knowing that it
must be stolen, would be likely to put the
offerer under arrest. The attempt might
be made for the sake of IL possible re-
ward, but here also imagine it would
be failure, for the oWnorsare persons of
the sort who would rather eXpend double
the money to capture and convict a thief
than pay premium on his felony

Hebisso is the sculptor. and when a
committee recently inspected his work
entire satisfaction with it was expressed.
The statue represents the general sitting
quietly in his saddle.
The sculptor has shown appreciation
of the fact that Grant was not soldier
of romance, but q calm, stern man of
practical ideas. Gen. Joseph Stockton,
one of the trustees of the statue COM
mittee, says:
Il remember now that at the battle of
Big Black River Grant sat on his horse
beside pool of muddy water. looking
just as this statue represents him. An
officer rode up and said: General, they
have opened battery on us over there.
Put a brigade in and take it, answered
Grant, without showing the least ex-
citement."

There is a touchingly beautiful story
told of Maurice de Sully, afterward
Bishop of Paris, to the effect that shortly
after he had been appointed canon and
archdcacon an old woman, clothed in
druggct, with white staff in her hand,
entered the city and inquired Of any
whom she met where she might find her
son, DR.. Maurice. Some ladies, fearing
that the new dignitary might feel humili-
ated if he fell in with his mother so shah
billy dressed, attired her in rich habila-
ments, threw a costly mantle over her
and then conducted her to his residence.
But the archdeacon refused to recog-
nize her in those borrowed plumes. MY
mother, said he, "is poor woman who
never wears anything better than gown
of drugget." They were Obliged to take
her away and restore her original clothes,
after which they returned TO the house
of DIR. Maurice, who, at the time, was
the center of brilliant assembly. The
moment he caught sight of her he adj
vanced with the greatest reverence, and
embraced her, saying: "This is indeed
my mother" But precisely the same
story is told of Pope Sixtus V and his
sister Camilla, whom the cardinals had
caused to be decked out in magnificent
array, to be presented to the new pope
after his sexaltation. All the Year Round.
