A FAyoR1TE Srn1EcT

A FAvoRTTE SUBJECT. CATHOLIC PRIEST.
So il is that Miss Elizabeth Jane Gardner,
the Boston artist SO long associated with the
artist BOugereau, paints so like her master that
her works might well be mistaken for some of
his minor compositions. 1.-THE Farmers

feeding chickens is one of the gems OF the
American Exhibit at the Exposition.
John :. Sargent, an Italian American, who
excels as n portrait painter and who ranks
among the second medalists of the Paris Salon,
exhibits a number Of portraits, and was for
tunate enough to be awarded gold medal by
the jury for a group of four children seen
standing in an arlistically furnished interior.
Another conspicuous group of works are
those of Julius l.. Stewart, of Philadelphia, q
native American, who. though still young, has
achieved great success in painting large can
vases. Early evinciug artistic talent he was
taken by his father TO Paris TO imbibe some
thing of the art spirit of that modern Athens.
The elder Stewart was an art connoisseur aud
a great admirer of Fortuny, whose works form
ed conspicuous part OF his extensive art col
lection. Fortuny was "A Spanish. Partisan, aud
Mr. Stewart desired his son TO express the same
spirit of color, of beauty and artistic fervor.

To the left of the Washington picture are
two small canvases, in which the irrepressible
negro boy of the Southern States is the promi-
nent figure. These, with four or five other more
ambitious exhibits. are about the only compost
tions, out OF nearly five hundred oil and water
o0lors which indicate that the artists repre-
sented had ever so much as seen the United
States Of America.
Taken as 8 whole. and without comparison
with the splendid exhibits of France and the
distinctiEely strong National contributions of
the Germanic and Scandinavian countries, the
American department is creditable aud full of
promise FOR the future. IL is not the fault Of
our artists If the absence Of great National gal
leTies and art schools ia our new country COM
Pels them to study aud reside abroad and paint
the things they see there, TO the neglect of
those at heme.
The American art taste is more akin 10 the
French than il is to the more sober German
and English Americans are more like the
French, from climatic causes, if no other.
Bright skies and clear air give to both France
aud America a grace unknown 10 either the
Teutons or the Britons. The American feels
himself in his native element in Paris, with all
the added privileges that centuries of art cul-
ture have provided.

OLD WlNDER's TRIUMPH.

He Shows a German Artlst How to "PIay
 Congregation Out"
 The celebrated German artist, Martin Gsau, while on 8 visit to this country, chanced one day to attend Dr. Robbins church, in company with friend and countryman, who was a member of the choir. Tho character of the visitor. says the New York Ledger, became known to the singers and they were eager to hear the German play. The chorister whispered to the old organist, Winder, that he must let Usau "play the congre gation out" This was simply volun- tary which the organist was in the habit of performing while the congregation were retiring at the close of the serv. ices. Tho old organist turned up his nose in disdain and disapproved, but the pressure became 50 hard that he al length gave ill, and the German good naturedly consented to give taste oi his quality.
 Tho closing anthem had come to s conclusion, the benediction was pro nounced, and Windcr reluctantly arose from his seat and allowed Qisau to take his place. The people had risen in the pews below, and were making for the aisles on their way out. But hark' W naC new sound was that! new voice had burst from the organ. 4 harmony unknown before was in the throbbing air.
 The throng stopped where they stood and listened. Even the good old doctor. halfway down the pulpit stairs, stood as one spell-bound. Old Winder saw the situation. The congregation had been seemingly petritled. and theil powers of locomotionususpended.
 ''Pooh!'' he shouted, 'that's what comes of meddling! You can'tplay 'en out. Let mo show ye how it's done."
 And, with an unceremonious push, he busted uIsau from his seat, seated him self before the keys and struck into ono of his old theological voluntaries. Very quickly the people below dropped their heads and moved onwards, and, when the church was empty, old Winde' rose from the organ in triumph.

How Old Man Applegute Got Even with
 Genteel Fraud.
 ''This thing of trying to crowd big gold pieces onto street-car conductors by people who hope to ride free because the conductors can't always give the proper change reminds me how that kind of game used to be worked in early days" said Captain George H. Mo- Bride, of Portland, to a San Francisco Examiner man.
 "Old Man Applegate lived on the road between Oregon and California in those days, and just for accommodation he would provide meals and lodgings for such travellers as chanced to travel his way. It was an annoying custom with certain class of stock dealers who fre- quently went over the road to offer $50 slug in payment for a nights entertain ment, and if the change G uld not be given they would settle in full the next time they stopped.
 "One day a fellow whom Uncle Apple gate had spotted offered slug in the usual way, saying he was sorry, but really that was the smallest coin he had about him
 I'm sorry, too.' said the host. for I haven't bit of change in the house.
 "'Oh, never mind,' replied the guest. 'I'll hand it to you as come back
 "'But may be I'll never see you again. suggested Applegate, ignoring the hand outstretched for the eight-cornered coin.
 "'Yes, you will. I'll be along here in about a week. said tho other.
 "'Oh, we'll, in that case I'll just keep the slug, and when you come back I'll have the change for you,' replied tho old gentleman, and putting the piece in his pocket he bade the stranger good morning, with best wishes for pros- porous journey and safe return.
 "That man didn't try to fool with old man Applegate any more."

M. PAsTEURs reported remedy for the influenza is for men and women to quit smoking tobacco and smoke camphor in stead. This recalls the advice of the physician who told one of his patients to smoke one cigar a day for awhile. and see how he came out At subsequent visit the patient told the doctor that he had tried the prescription, but that it made him sicker than ever. It turned out that the patient had never smoked before. M. Pasteur appears to be pro- ceeding on about the same assumption that this physician did in making his prescription.

A CURED HEARTACHE.

Oh, dear lost heartache-sweetes st pain, When hours were weeks and weeks were yearA And eyes had always room for tears. How blest it was to pine and sigh, To wait for letters, sick at heart Of hope deferrcd-to kiss and part On dim street corners in the rain; To win smile or madly feel A frowu divide the soul like steel. Oh. loveliest misery! Why, why Did we curtail that happy grief, Or mako one darling paug more brieff For now the days are simply-days. We part each morn. each night we meet; We kiss and yawn, we talk and eat Tn married life's calm peaceful ways. But oh, for those dear woes abjured, And the sweet heartache that is cured!

An Honest old German Who Didn't Want
 the Earth.
 When the oil excitement spread from Pennsylvania to Ohio, German near Liverpool began to sink we'll in his back yard. All the work was done by hand power, and his drills were of the cheapest make. He hammered away for week after week and month after month, until he was pretty near the roof over China. Then a few of us, writes New York Tribune correspondent, planned to give him surprise and make life worth the living, or at least few hours of it. We got a gallon of crude oil and poured it into and around his we'll, in which the drills were still at work. This was done at night, and next morn ing when we got around there, accord ing to agreement, Hans was sitting on bench, arms folded, and his pipe alight.
 "What! Struck it at lasty' exclaimed one of the boys in great astonishment.
 "Yaw, haf struck her," was the calm reply.
 'Really got oill Old fellow, let us con- graduate your'
 We all shook hands with him, got down and tested the oil and inspected the we'll and finally one of the crowd in quired: .a
 "Hans, do you want to sell out?''
 "Yaw, sell out," was the complacent rejoinder.
 ''Well, we are here to buy if we can get satisfactory figures. You know as well as we do that your we'll will prob- ably prove a hummer. It promises at least thousand barrels day"
 ''Meype two tousand," said Hans.
 "Who can say? Now, then, give us your lowest cash figures, right of, quick. We want tho we'll only. You can still live in your house. Whats your fgure?"
 "Vhell, take feefty dollar"
 'What!
 "Vhas she too highP Vhell, make it forty dollar. Dot pays for my tools und makes me all right"
 "Why, man, do you mean that you only ask forty dollars for this thousand barrel oil well?''
 Dot vhas who mean, und if she vhash too high make it fife dollar less. Shall we make oudt some paper?'
 And we had to back square down and back out of that back yard feeling that we had been left. As the matter turned out the well would have been dear at forty cents
