A Curious Exnerimens.


Mr. valerian Gribayedoff, the artist,
has been making q curiously interesting
experiment. The result shows that hair,
beard and dress have more to do with
the making Of mans physiognomy
than is gcnerally believed. Mr.. Gribaye-
doff placed the portraits of six old revolu-
tionary worthless side by side with the
licensees Of six noted men Of the pres
snt day Blaine, Edison, Sherman, Chaun-
.eey Dcpew, President Harrison and
Chamberlain Richard Croker. Of New
York.
Then thu artist changed them a. fol-
lows: He drew the face Of Blaine and
gave him the long, curling hair, high
collar and extensive white choker Of
Thomas Jefferson. To the face Of JefRer-
son he affixed the close cropped hair and
beard and clipper built neck wear Of
Blaine. He made Franklin trade hair
and dress with Edison, Chauncey Depew
change with John Jay, the Father Of his
Country with President Harrison, Gen.
Sherman with old Nathaniel Greene and
Alexander Hamilton with the modern
New York politician. Mr.. Richard Gro.
ker.
nr. Gribayedo6 expected 10 show by
this experiment that great men will look
both like great men and themselves un-
der all circumstances Tho roe,,lk -..
exactly the opposite of this, and aston
ished the artist more than anybody else.
The most thoroughly Insignificant look
ing Of the lot was no ether than George
Washington himself, after he had been
clothed with the hair. and beard Il
Harrison. Even his immortal nose was
lost. On the other hand, Harrison, with
the white hair Of Washington swept
back from his forehead, with the RULED
shirt front and velvet collar, looked
royal His picture would readily have
been mistaken for that of Washington.
In the hair and beard Of Croker, Alex.
ander Hamilton looks like a foxy poll.
tician. while in Franklin's hair and
dress Edison looks thoroughly the guide,
philosopher and friend. OF the whole
twelve, there are only two faces that
would be recognized uuder any circum-
stances. Those are both modern, and
they are James g. Blaine and William
Tecumseh Sherman.

With one who DER my heart had power
He wrote promise on the sand.

Dear one. from thee ! = ucycr str2y."
But as with f!uttering heart l read it,
A liilow washed the words away
A silf'n,i trenior shook my frame,

It was p-ophetic-for there came
A day when his devotion persisted
And now wander aim,cSsly.

And wonder why mans VOWS should be
Like sweet words written on the sand.
