II have heard 1t said that, taken as
whole, people Of these days are not so
handsome as those of olden times" said
an artist to Washington Post reporter,
but have o theory go a 10y far excel
in beauty OF form and feature their an
cestors Of many hundred years ago. The
only way we have to judge Of such COM
parative merits Of the people of today
with those who are made known to us
by tradition and history is by the means
of statuary. We compare our modern
men with old works of art and pronounce
them inferior without taking into con-
sideration the deception that has been
practiced by the artists whose work was
done for those whose form and feature
they portrayed and from whom they
were to look for their pay.
1T was the easiest thing In the world
then, as Is done now, to smooth over
blemishes and defects. The art OF pho
Biography will not permit such deception

carried on"

much nowadays as was done of olds'

by great many, and that Is the reason
why many people will not sit for a photo

an artist. The photographers recognize

Sir John Bowring not only testified to
this perpetual outflow of Chinese immi-
grants, but he paints in vivid colors the
causes which lead to these results. He
says: There Is probably no part of the
world in which the harvests of mortality
aremore sweeping and destructive than
in China, producing voids which require
no ordinary appliances to fill up. Multi
tudes perish absolutely from want of the
means of existence; foundations destroy
towns and villages and all their inhab-
itants; it would not be easy to calculate
the loss of life by the typhoons and hur-
ricanes which visit the coasts of China,
in which boats and junks are sometimes
sacrificed by hundreds and by thousands.
The late civil wars in China must have
led to the loss of millions OF lives. The
sacrifices Of human beings by executions
alone are frightful."
1t is such a condition of things, and
such causes as these, that induce the
laboring classes of Chinese to immigrate
to other countries. Considering the in
centiye which exists in these densely
populated districts to escape from the
misery which marks their existence, and
to seek new lands where their condition
may be bettered, the dangers that
threaten from such inexhaustible sources
Of human supply become easy of appre-
ciation.-Willard B. Farwell in Popular
Science Monthly.

Targenienvs Dinners or

A habit of Turgeneiff, says The Fort
nightly Review, was to invite friends to
dinner and be absent when they came,
not deliberately Of set purpose, but be-
cause of the little value he set on his
pledged word and the very faint impress
sion 1t used to make upon his mind. He
once invited the famous critic Belinsky
and five others to dine with him at his
house in the country, where he had a
chef de cuisine whom he looked upon as
agenius. Twill organize banquet for
you the like Of which you never dream
ed of, he said.
He fixed the day and made each per-
son give his word of honor that he
would come. NDon't fear for us" re-
marked Belinsky. "We shall be there
without fail, but you must not repeat
the trick that you played upon us last
winter, when you asked us to dine and
were not at home when we came; but,
lest you should forget your invitation,
shall write to you the eve of the day of
our arrival.
twas sultry day when the whole six
of us set out for Pargolovo in an open
caleChe at IL o'clock in the morning, says
one of the persons invited. We were
thoroughly fatigued by the heat and dust
of the road. Arriving at Turgenieffs
country house, we alighted with joy in
our countenances, but we were all struck
with the circumstance that Turgenieff
did not come out to meet us. We
knocked at the door of the glass terrace.
The silence of death reigned in the
house. All our faces grew visibly long
er. ''Can Turgenieff have played the
same trick as last winterT' exclaimed
Belinsky.
But we all Gained him, saying that we
probably arrived earlier than we were
expected. sBut wrote to him that we
should be here at / o'clock, )" objected Be.
linsky; "what can it mean? If they would
only admit us into the room we could
wait, but here we are scorched."
At length a boy came out of the door
and we all piled him with questions
His master had gone off, he said, and the
chef dc cuisine was in some public house.
We gave the urchin money, sent him to
fetch the chef, who should let us in, and
meanwhile we sat down on the steps of
the terrace.
We waited long in vain. Belinsky
wanted us to return, but our hired coach.
man refused to take us back until the
horses had had long rest. So we sal
on, hungry and hot. Panaieff went tc
the public house to see If anything eata

nothing to be had. At last tn,

dinner for us today?" insisted the critic
HE did nothing of the kind" was the
reply. Amusement and terror were de
picted on all faces. Belinsky famed up
and, looking at us in his significant way
exclaimed: "Turgenieff has indeed giyer

Tom Jackson, the author of those funny stories of "Squatter Sovereignty" and the "Harlam Goat, was down in luck at one time and as last resort took to the min. strel business. The company turned out to be funny one. Jackson and his part ner, Welde, were the end men, and while showing at little Maine town the former hit upon the idea of putting ''poetry," as he called it, into the performance.
 He circulated number of blank cards, of the playing card style, among the au- dience and requested the holders to write some subject on the pasteboard, and he promised to compose rhyme for any one of their selections. The business was old to the minstrel stage, but new to the au- dience, and so all were bit timid about sending up subjects. After Q great deal of persuasion Jackson succeeded in con- vincing two of the auditors that they would not be feeced alive if they followed his re- quest, and these two returned their cards. On one was written the single word, "Dog. 7" The other bore this hint, "Pay for your washing"
 Jackson glanced at the cards for a sec ond and coming down to the footlights said
 Pay for your washing.

 Then he came to the other card, and this is what he said:

 There is a good story told of the econo. mical qualities of two wealthy gentlemen that is good lesson for those recklessly extravagant persons who are not possessed of the true spirit of economy. On a cer. tain night one of these gentlemen called on the other to transact little business at the formers residence. The host light ed g candle that they might examine some papers, but immediately blew it out again, when they were through, leaving both sitting in the dark.
 "Why did you blow out the candle P asked the caller.
 "Oh, we can talk in the dark as we'll as in the light, and it saves the candle," was the reply.
 They continued their conversation for short time, when the host heard some mysterious sounds coming from the direc- tion of the callers chair, and inquired whati his friend was doing.

T Hartford Times: Ralph W. Storrs, of Spring Hill. has lately purchased a flock of full blooded Southdown sheep, thirty seven in number, all ewes. He made the purchase in Woodstock, Vt, and they are all labeled with a metallic tag in the right ear and part of them register ed. They are uniform in model with dark brown faces and clean black legs free from wool. MT. Storrs is practical farmer, and says that the running briars and small brush are spreading in his pastures, and he knows of no better remedy than sheep. He anticipates more profit at less trouble and cost from sheep than from any othe, farm stock. The practical benefits arising from the keeping of sheep are not wholly confined to dollars and cents; for as an agent for the destruction and subduing ot small brush of one years growth, more es. pecially those that were cut the year pre-. vious, sheep have no equal among common farm stock
