STRANGELY FASCINATING.
Unpleasant Effect of Picture on Scores o
Women.

LONDON, Oct 1S-A sensation has
been aroused in Berlin by the exhibi-
tion of new pictorial representation OF
"Christ Before Plate" The painting
is by Russian artist named Nicolai.
Its powerful realism may be inferred
from the fact that scores of women have
tainted at the sight OF it The picture,
though humble, is strangely fascinat-
ing, and the salon where 1t is displayed
is continually crowded TO suffocation.
The subject is treated from an entirely
different conception to that OF Mum
kacsy in his famous painting bearing the
same title. The work is pronounced by
critics to be vastly inferior to the latter
from an artistic point OF view, but yet Ii
possesses remarkable power which
can hardly be attributed to simple
realism. t.

BEsET WITH MORE SNAKES
than any others 1 suppose it is just barely
possible that a long series of such expert
ments will occasionally throw man to the
surface who would naturally take to tIle
intricacies of statecraft and draw h1mseu
up to his position We would regard such
experiments as exceedingly dangerous, and
would never think of sending i man out TO
a foreign post without long training.
That is why the British diplomatic service
is the best in the world, and while its rep
resentatives can at all times be reached
even by the humblest Englishman they
maintain their dignided position with the
government and the people to which they
are accredited. That at all times commands
respect
These opinions about American ministers
are certainly interesting. Yet, my English
critic, l think, overstates the caprices OF
our countrymen. 1t is true that very many
Americans who come here expect attention
from our diplomatic officers that they
should never dream of, because as he truly
said that they have higher duties to per-
form, than looking after travellers from
their native land. But very large per
centage of Americans never go near our le-
who have little right to consideration who
are most exacting and make the loudest
growl about our representatives conduct.
1t is true that this condition of affairs
Weakens somewhat the position of our dip
lomats with the people among whom they
are living in an official capacity. 1t would
be well for all Americans travelling in a
foreign country TO remember that it is
GOOD THING TO HAVE SOME RESPECT
for it's customs and traditions. Don't abuse
your minister or consul because he blacks
his boots and wears dress suit occasion
ally. 1t is the mode of the society in which
he is required to associate. Take your
meals as they come to you through the life
long habits of the people among whom you
are travelling. 1t will save you any amount
of bad temper. and you will get something
to eat. Show some respect for your coun-
try by speaking well of its officials, and let
foreigners gee that we have some national
pride, no matter which party is in power.
The constant changes which politics makes
in our diplomats, naturally weakens their
influence in great country like this, but
travellers can do great deal towards rails
ing the standard of the service by having
some little regard for the conditions with
which their representative is surrounded.
All ambassadors are by no means great men,
and from an intellectual standpoint, Amer
lea has no right TO be ashamed of ner posi-
ton, but our democratic conditions of seem
ing disrespect for all manner of titles gives
the representative of almost any two-cent
government a better standing at court,
than far greater characters who are queered
by what we are pleased to call democratic
ways' which are often license rather than
judgment and right.
