to efface the portrait of General Boulapger
which appeared In the panorama among the
notables of Paris, or otherwise the panorama
would not be allowed to be opened. After
good deal OF parley on both sides the
portrait OF the brave General was at length
effaced. But Mr.. Castellani nursed his
grudge against the Government and as one
OF its members, NJ. Constants Minister of
the Interior, bears the soubriquet of saucas-
sou (sausage) NJ. Castellsni seized this fact
ior his revenge. He painted for the salon
| an immense canvas of still life, ieet by 4,
the most promiaent object being an immense
Lyons sausage, the city from which NJ. Con.
stans halls from.
The sausage in question was ten times
larger than life, and reposed on 10000, 900
francs, in notes and gold, which also carries
its story, obviously referring to some shady
history In the Minister'S career. In the
background an Indian god Is laughing
boisterously. The picture was carried pub
licly into the Salon, and the artist, already
famous, is much talked about at present,
and even though be does not get his paint
ing into the Salon he shall have succeeded
in getting himself advertised.
UNFINISHED MASTERPIECES.
In several Of the galleries I noticed .
score of artists who we're still at work on
their paintings by special permission. Sew
eral of the colossal canvases were hung on
the walls to get thein out OF the way. But to
return to the crowd outside. was very
glad to get away from the noise, dust and
confusion into the street The gang" by
this time, P. M, was largely augmented
and at the height OF their hilarity. One Of
their chief diversions in the intervals Of
cheering at the arriving pictures, was TO
form a ring with Sarah their queen in the
center and dance around her. They also
tried this on the passersby, but in one case
came to grief with an indignant female, who
broke her umbrella over their heads
The police rushed in when they endeav-
ored to circle another female, and arrested
Sarah and four OF the students, including
Canadian who has the reputation Of being

ruins. Once in Loretta you are out OF the
woods. The drive from there to Ebensburg
is on plateau, from which magnificent
view may be obtained reaching on fair
days, I am told, clear to Johnstown.
Ebensburg is a quaint old town well worth
a visit any time. There are summer hotels
there. at which the President will be given
a hearty reception. There are drives from
Cresson also TO the town of Gallitzen, to
Altoona and to various other places. You

artist pressed for time.
THE MODEL FREE AGAIN.
At $50 Sarah and her four companions,
who were all arrested, were seen coming
around the corner, having been liberated by
the police, and their appearance was the
signal for a wild ovation. The whole
business then rushed to the nearest cafe
singing and shouting with Sarah at their
head. Inside they mounted on the table,
made speeches, sang and in general con-
Quoted themselves more ip character with a
lunatic asylum than with Partisan cafe.
Tables were upturned, glasses broken, but
the cafe proprietor takes this as one Of the
yearly risks of his business and says
nothing. After paying the score the
students pushed out to the Avenue
of the Champs Elysees took possession
of the first dray that came along paid the
driver handsomely, putSarah into the dray,
and as many Of the students az could find
standing room piled in. Two of the stu
dents held umbrellas over the horses heads,
while two others bestradled the animals.
The remainder fell into line and marched
behind the dray, singing, dancing and
shouting as usual. They paraded up and
down the Champs Elysees several
times until stopped by the police.
They then marched to the Place
de la Concorde, and there took pos
session of an open cab, put Sarah inside
with three of the students, one being an
American. They paraded around the his
toric Place de la Concorde in the same style
as on the Champs Elysees until, as before,
stopped by the ubiquitous cops.
BOUND TO HAVE FUN.
Nothing daunted, Sarah headed the pro-
cession on foot, and thus they marched along
the quays with the usual programme of
singing and shouting. Those in the front
rank pressed their hanndkerchieis into use
as flags. Many OF the good folks along the
route wondered what was up, or perhaps
thought another Commune was on the
eve of starting. The cortege marched along
until it came to the square in front of the
Palais de Mazarin, better known as the
Institute de France, the home OF the 40 i'm
mortals. Sarah was then installed on the
pedestal of the statue OF the Goddess of
Liberty. The students formed ring around
her, and reciting harangue on things in
general, especially on the indignity which
she was subjected to in being arrested by
the m1nions OF the law.
After the harangue was over they Joined
hands, danced around Sarah and the goddess
until tired, singing choice collections of pa
triotic airs, including some Boulangist ones.
A parting drink at Mere Moneas, resort
well-known to Partisan art students, and
the days fun ended. A number of Sarah's
most intimate friends took her to dinner at
their favorite restaurant, where, / have no
doubt. they enjoyed themselves to. their
hearts content in the court of the Queen OF
the Models. DE WOLFE SCANLAN.

the quietest fellow in the quarter, and who
was only quietly looking on. Another
American who was laughing was grabbed
by policeman and asked ii be was laugh
ing at the majesty of the law. or course
he replied, no. The students then COM
menced to mimic the police and make mock
arrests, and 1t is needless to say the police
were boiling over. All the passers-by. es-
pecially the rich equipages of luxury with
their pompous coachmen and footmen, came
in for good deal of badinage from the
crowd.
THE REMARKS PASSED.
The remarks on the paintings as they ar
rived were spicy and highly original. When

Cressou is proverbial; but there is less of
that desuetude this season than ever before.
The mere announcement that the Harrison
family intended TO occupy cottage on the
botel grounds had a magnetic effect in fill
ing up the other cottages and Jammlng tne
big hotel.
IT gives any summer resort certain
amount of standing to be able to say that
Presidents have sojourned there. 1t ADDS
smack of official aristocracy and the glamour
of patriotic ehivalry to the pages OF hotel
register. One of the proudest boasts OF
celebrated old Bedford is the autographs oil
several of the early Presidents who came
there by stage coach Buchanan was the
last, and yet his picture is to be seen In all
the public buildings OF BEDFORD ior that rea-
son. White Sulphur Springs has the proud
distinction of being George Washlngtons

the door amid the cheers of their compan-

quickly backward toward the entrance,
while his mate with dishevelled hair and

in front of the doors for receiving the plct-
ures a motley crowd Of art students ana
models collects, the former OF many natlon-

schools of Paris. Their numbers are also
augmented by sprinkling Of artists, princi-
pally those who are on the border line OF

NAV be an artist in another country and
student in Paris, 50 high is the standard
here. .,
A great many of the general public, both
rich and poor, who have nothing to do, OF
which class, I suppose, there are more In
Paris than in any other city OF the world,
also come to see the students antics and see
the masterpieces arrive. The queen OF the
models, Sarah Brown, the most famous
model in PARIS, is sure to be there each year
in charming toilette, surrounded by her
student court. This year she was true to
her custom, and in spite Of her life OF gayety
and dissipation, she looked as fresh and be-
witching as in the previous year and sported
a very chic spring toilette. Her hgure
would have delighted the soul Of Rubens,
she has the grace and bearing of queen
and her hair falls below her knees.
HOW THE PICTURES COME.
The pictures arrive in all sorts OF convey
ances. The scene at the door Win oray-
men, policemen, artists, students ana
nainters struggling with immense sections
Of frames and colossal canvases is q sight
never to be forgotten. The frames for the
large paintings are carried to the salon in
sections and finished ON inside the build
ing.
But if the scenes at the door were lively
that on the inside was a regular bedlam.
The orders to let nobody in but those who
had business were very strict, but still many
got in who had very little business
but to guy the paintings and their authors.
The first thing that met the eye was inn
mense tiers of paintings ranged along the
val Is on tho dusty floors. A multitude Oh
porters in white blouses, blue pantaloons
and peaked caps were rushing wildly amid
a chaos of paintings and sliding them along
the floor as if they were SO much lumber.
There was as much risk of getting run into
as in big railroad yard in America. There
was also an utter disregard for the beautiful
gold frames, as / saw many OF them ruth
lessly mutilated and even some of the can
vases had daylight let through them. A
crowd collected Immediately inside the door
and cheered on sight each picture az it hove
into sight.
AN ARTIST BOLD.

a veriIable ovation and have no doubt it

1t seems to us that our farmers in this vi.
cinity could prodtsbly pay more attention
than they do to raising buckwheat. The
last crop the Eastern States is reported to
have been almost q complete failure. Buck.
wheat is not damaged by frost and dampneSs
in this locality, as it is in the east, and thus
can be raised successfully. As is well known
among our many apiaris,. the buckwheat is
one Of the best of honey plants, and also can
be used to advantage os fertilizer, turning
It under. the same as clover. With our
Delta FIGURING mill and the prospect as
good as it is for another mill being erected
somewhere in this locality before another

ought to turn out large amount Of buck.
