that during the 81 months the borrower

Tho Future of Art in America.


It is the fashion to believe that art
cannot thrive in our trading democracy,
says Robert s. Peabody, in HGTpeT'S
Magazine. Our cultured society speak
of art with solemnity and awe, as men
speak of one that has fought the good
fight, and who rests from his labors.
Indeed, we have lately been told by a
professor of great distinction that there
Is no hope here for real literature or
art, SO hopelessly vulgar and sordid Is
American life. Surely those burghers.
of medieval Paris knew nothing Of
culture. and doubtless they were vul-
gar, but they thoroughly believed in
their religion, and their vulgarity did
not prevent their originating the
Gothic cathedrals.
Doubtless those Florentine traders
were mercenary, but they loved their
city with fervor, and gladly gave their
wealth to build its public monuments
Neither Frenchman nor Florentine had
art critics to tell him his motives, but
they applied to their everyday work
vigor, courage, and energy, and, with
out their knowing it, their work i'm
mortalized them.
Now, why should we not believe in
our own possibilities? We have doubt
less seen q great deal of ostentation
and vulgarity built into more or less
permanent form, and doubtless we are
very far from having produced great
works of architecture. Our distance
from the great works of antiquity has
always permitted here freedom from
authority in art which, if it frequently
leads US into license, presents to us at
the same time our unique opportunity.
In the best work, Influenced as it is
by the books and photographs which
now familiarize us with all that the
world has done before us, there is even
now to be seen a reasonable restraint
controlling this liberty. AS our ma
tionaI wants are new, and inventions
daily increase which revolutionize the
art of construction, it seems to me
that the problems will daily be solved
! in better manner, and we may hope
for period of building that will en-
phasize our good, rather than our bad,
points. Why should we not, in looking
at such examples as have quoted, In
sist that there is far from being any
thing in the existing conditions OF
American life to hinder the progress OF
art? Evidences of the reverse exist on
every side. While dilettantism may
discourage, for myself I have enthu-
siasm enough left to believe that the
hope of the future in art, as in many
other fields of human endeavor, lies,
as the years go on, with our ambitious.
prosperous, and appreciatiye democ'
racy.

Grandma,s Fright.

My grandparents came to Michigan
about fifty years ago. At that time
the country was new and settlements
were few and far between, and only
paths through the woods connected
them, for there were no roads. The
woods were alive with wild beasts,
such as bears, deer, wolves, wildcats,
and panthers. My grandparents were
obliged to locate in an unfinished
house, which had neither doors nor
windows, and only a very small por-
ton of which was foored. Blankets
we're substituted for doors and win
dows, which afforded but the slightest
protection against the intrusion of
wild animals. A large hole in the
roof. made to allow the escape of
smoke when a fire was made, was an
other means by which unwelcome Wis
itors might gain admittance.
At the time of which I am writing
grandpa was away purchasing articles
to make the house more comfortable,
and one evening, after he had been
gone a couple of days, grandma and
the children were sitting alone before
the fire, thinking about the pleasant
home they had left to brave the hard
ships of a frontier life, when grandma
happened to look up at the aperture in
the roof, and she thought, "How easily
some wild animal could get in there,
and the very next moment she heard a
scratching noise, and pair of glisten-
ing eyes peered through the opening.
In less time than it req uires to tell it
grandma and the children were on the
bed, staring at the creature overhead.
After a moment she concluded that it
might be one of the neighbours cats.
Then she called, PUSSY, pussy" and
the pussy answered meow" and took
its departure as suddenly as it had
made its appearance. Next day grand
pa returned and the house was made
more secure. Detroit Free Press.

The year 1890 is not the hum
dredth anniversary OF 30 many
famous events as the year 1889, but
it has one distinction peculiar to
to itself. It is the centenary of the
"stove-pipe hat" which had its first
recognized beginnings among the hat-
tiers of Paris-who then, as now, setl
the civilized worlds fashions in head-i
gear-in the year 1890. According to-
the French authorities on this subject, i
the tall hat which has, in one form or
another, for nearly hundred years
been the mark of elegance and con-
formity to fashion, had its beginning I'M
Benjamin Franklin's modest Quaker
broad-brim.
When Franklin went to France DUR
ing the American war of Independence,
he became, as is well known, an OBJ
ject almost of alteration on the part of
the Parisians. His simple, homely,
honest manners quite captivated a
people who were heartily sick of the
friyolity, the pretense. the profigacy,
the dandyism of the old French court.
Franklin's wise and witty philoso-
ply and serene amiability won their
minds and hearts as well; and he
presently became the emblem and
type of republican simplicity.
Even his Quaker hat came in for a
share of the general admiration; and
| during the years which preceded the
French revolution, the Partisan hat
tiers began to initiate it in their manu-
features, but, to adapt it in some de-
gree to French tastes, they narrowed
| the brim and heightened the stiff,
| fiue-ike crown.
With the breaking out of the revo-
luton and the downfall of royalty,
! there came q sort of rebellion against
| the manners and even the dress of the
old court The ancient Greeks and
Romans were drawn upon for models
in women's garments, and a head-gear
was demanded for men.
At this juncture nothing seemed SO
| fitting to the republican hatters as the
modified broad-brim of Franklin; and
| in the year 1890, therefore, the regu-
lar manufacture of it was begun, and it
was put upon the market.
1t soon came into general use. John
Bull, " the typical Englishman, adopt
ed it, and its primitive form is still
preserved in his conventional portrait.
But the "elegants" soon heightened
its crown into the semblance of an ac-
tual section of stove-pipe, and mar
rowed its brim until it became next to
nothing.
The hat has remained in fashion ever
since, though it has undergone many
notifications of form in obedience to
the caprices of changing years. 1t still
changes from year to year; at one time
it's brim extends outward and rolls up,
ward. and its crown flares, bell-hke, al
the top and again the crown recedes
into itself and becomes mere cylin
der, and the brim is a rim and nothing
more. But any old "stove-pipe" i
kept long enough, will come in fashion
again.

Jack, the Boy Missionary.

NOU long ago some SUNDAY SCnOOl
children in London placed over a small
grave a tablet to the memory of Jack
Hore, who was known as the boy mis-
sionary, and who was only years old
when he died, OF course, he was not
really a missionary.
He was born in England. and was IA
nous as the only white baby ever seen
in the region of the great lakes; and,
after passing unscathed through all
the dangers of Equatorial Africa, he
fell victim at last to measles in his
native land.
Jack was the. son of wel1-known
missionary, Captain Hore. He started
for Africa with his parents when he
was only IL weeks old, and the story of
the baby's trip to Lake Tanganyika,
which was written by his mother, made
Jack very well known. When the
party started inland from Zanzibar,
they trundled Jack in a wheelbarrow
The softest possible bed was made
for him in a wicker basket, the sides
padded so that he could not hurt HIN
self. The basket was placed in a
steel whee1barrow frame, and in this
conveyance Jack made very comforta-
bic journey to Mamboia, a hundred
miles inland.
There were reasons, however, why it
was not thought best for Jack and his
mother to go any further that year.
and so the baby was wheeled back to
the coast again. and he returned to
England, none the worse for his novel
journey.
The year following, Jack and his
mother started for Africa once more,
and his father rugged up another sort
of conveyance for the baby passenger.
This time bamboo poles were fastened
to the sides of the basket, and four
porters were detailed to carry Jack.
AS they swung along the path, the
supple poles gave to the basket q
springy motion, which was very pleas
ing to the little fellow. Along the BAN
boos was stretched canvas awning,
/ impervious alike to sun or rain, with
ened up or down at pleasure. His
mother was carried in a bath chair
rugged up in a similar fashion.
After Jack had been carried far in
land, African fever tackled the little
fellow, and then he insisted much o.
the time upon being carried in hi
mothers lap: but happily he did not
suffer long from the formidable foe o
white men in Africa.
When the caravan halted for "a
MONDAY lunch, the first duty of thu
men was to pitch tent to shelte
Jack and his mother from the scorch
ing sun.
! One day a porter ran away with
canvas bag containing nearly all o
Jacks wardrobe The calamity, how
ever, was easily remedied, for Mr.. Hor'
had lot of cotton cloth to pay his wa.
through the country, and Jack sooI
had new wardrobe.
Many of the marches were weari
some, and Mrs. Hore wrote that sh'
and Jack often presented very drag
gled appearance when the halt wa
made for the day.
The journey lasted ninety days. A
last Jack and his parents embarked Oh
the. beautiful waters of Lake Tan
ganyika, and negro boatmen, singing
at their paddles, took them to tn
Island of Kavala, which was Jack
home during all his babyhood in Cen
tra1 Africa.
Friends In England sent him man,
p1aythings, which he shared with hi
Waguha playmates, and he lived il
Africa very happily indeed. It is
pity he was not allowed to live there
