population is increasing rapidly. Il is now
certain that an additional room and teacher
will have to be employed If the welfare of
the schools is Of paramount importance. A

Was II a YisiOnf

We wers having a new home built
and my husband went to it every day
to see what progress was being made
One day, as he stood in the front room
upstairs his attention was attracted to
the street. Looking out the window
he saw funeral procession passing
from the door and out through the
gate. The casket was small, white
and covered with flowers. He recog
nized friends and neighbors in the
crowd, and through some lndetinable
impression, he understood that the
corpse was that of his son. His son,
though he had no son at the time.
SURPRISED and startled at the thought,
he saw the procession vanish. and ne
felt unable to account for the experl
ence.
Within a few months a little sor
was born to us, and before three year:
it was carried out the gate in Hover
covered, white casket and followed by
the same friends my husband he'd see1
that noontime long before. What ex

Horses Look Gawky In Pictures.

Instantaneous photography is a
nuisance" said an artist, whose bust
ness is to draw cuts for the magazines
and newspapers. Before they began
to take those blamed photographs all
YOU had to do was to draw a horse SO
that it looked natural and lifehke, and
the papers and public were satisfied.
Now. though, since that Philadelphia
fellow printed his book, and especially
since The Sun reprinted the cuts from
it, nothing will do but that we must
draw running horses just as they are,
and not as they look. Of course the
pictures don't look nearly so pretty,
and the horses are as awkward and
unnatural as donkeys, but they are
accurate, and that is the craze just
now. We have had to learn our ami
NAL drawing all over again, and have
to puzzle our brains by the hour over
cuts of instantaneous photographs,
trying to find some position that has
at least bit of grace and life In 1t.
For my part, think it is ridiculous
Compare the magazine pictures o.
horses a year or two ago with those
Scribner's had last month and tell n'
if YOU don't think the old ones gave
better idea of the beauty Of the ami
mails in motion. Imagine Rosa Bon
hours horses with their fore feet stucl
out straight like ramrods, or think o
Messoniers troopers charging befor
Napoleon on horses that had all fou
legs doubled up under them at tn
same time"
Whatever may be the opinion as
the business of the artists criticism
and complaints, there is no doubt thu
he is right on his facts. The hors
pictures in the magazines nevada,
nearly all show a: least an effort
make the positions correspond wit
those shown by instantaneous plot
graphs. The picture horse OF the pa
IS relegated to the circus poster al
the bills of the racing associations.

We were Just in the middle OF
TRAMP. tramp" when long, clear
whistle, with a crack like pistol
shot at the end, stopped us short. Sit
ting down on the roadside we listened.
and soon the whistle began again; then
follow ed the most exquisite mimicry OF
many of the sOngsters of the wood,
varied by sounds resembling the clear
tones of a distant bell, the rattle of a
-ickety wagon, raspings and gratings
that made the cold chills run down
ones back, whispers, means, cries
and laughter. l clearly distinguished
the coarse laugh of the giant king
fisher, the cooling of the dove, the call
of the black and white shike, the song
of the rusty-backed thrush, the scream
of the hawk, and the hoarse screech-
inc of the cockatoo. Sometimes the
song. with a volume like large organ
was loud and sweet, and it seemed as
II the musicians must be within a
stones throw, then again it died away
to the faintest whisper. There was
mellow richness in parts that reminded
me of the liquid notes of the clario-
net. We sat spellbound until the
sono had ceased. l have heard mos,
of our American sOngsters, and some
of them are very fine, with voices rich
and mellow, but the mocking-birG

In he older Egyptian mummles the

burial under the Roman empire por-
trait of the deceased was painted on
very thin piece of wood and then hSeo
over the dead face. 1t Is very re-
markable to find such fine colorlnS

late date. which must have been
turned out of an ordinary undertaker's
workshop. The portraits, both male
and female, are most vlvld ana lie

a purple garment and the men IN

some cases the coloring reminds
one of the Venetian school
from its rich depth of tone. A
