this country.
Jules Castaguary, the art critic and Di
rector of the Ecole des Beaux Arts is to
have tablet placed to his memory on the
house in which he dwelt.
Daumier, the French caricaturist. whose

mier was alive, is to have statue In Mar
seilles, his natal town.

A crypt containing three sarcophagi in
stone and one in lead, finely sculptured in
relief, has been found at St. John of Acre
in Palestine. There are some fine vases
and the portraits of a man and woman
The walls are covered with paintings in
| fresco.
The Royal Institution of Manchester
has received from r. r. Ross fifty-eight
water colors by David Cox, De Wint, Cop
ley Fielding, Cotman, Prout, Cattermole
and other British artists, the only condi-
tions being that they shall be kept together
and shown without charge.
The latest legend with regard to the
manufacture of false masters" is that con-
cerning a fabricator of paintings signed
Courbet, discovered at his nefarious work
in Mariotte, a Belgian town. He imported
the raw article from Paris, added the sig
natures, and then baked the picture in an
oven to give it the requisite look of age.
| The "Wreek of the Medusa,n by Geri-
cault, at the Louvre, is in very bad con-
dition, the asphaltum used by the painter
having run and blistered. The " Assump-
ton of the Virgin" by Prudhon, has
| cracks an inch wide. The Enlevement
de Psyche" by the latter, has been very
successfully restored, and probably the
| others will soon be treated.

How to Talk " ell.

Learn to listen well, and very soon you
will find yourself speaking the word IN
season and surprising yourself, as well as
others, by the quickness with which your
thoughts will be expressed.
Read the works of great writers, think
them over and conclude in what way you
differ from them. The woman who talks
well must have opinions-decided ones
but she must have them well in hand, as
nothing is so disagreeable as an aggressive
talker. Say what you have to say pleas
antly and sweetly remember always thas
the best thing in life, dear, sweet love mas
often been won by that delightful thing
"a low voice" A..
Do not be too critical; remember that
every blow given another woman Is
boomerang which will return ana nit you
with double force. Take this into consld-
eration-it is never worth while making
malicious remark, no matter how clever 1t
may be-
Girl. the while here, which is, after all, so
Short and the while hereafter, which is,
after all. so long and sweet. 1t seems to
me that when you and | stand before the
GOOD God, it will be the little gossip, the
petty talks about others, of which we will
be most ashamed.
Never forget that mere idle talk isquite
as bad as gossip, for nobody is gaining any
good from it, and as no vacuum exists in
nature none can in every day life. Not to
be good talker, my dear girl, not to be an
interesting woman, quick in your sympa-
thy and ready always to give the word Of
gladness to those in joy, or speak your ten
der thought to one who is in affection, is
to be that most unpleasant of people-an
unfeminine woman.-Ladies Home Jour

comes into my Office simply because he has
no business there He tramps through,
enters the composing room, visits the
printers, twiddles the devil under the
chin with his finger, reads the copy on the
hooks, looks over the proofs, spits to-
bacco Juice on the floor, and finally goes
out another way and leaves the door
open.
All sorts and specimens of humanity
come into my Office. Now and then
somebody enters for the purpose of trans
acting little business, and once in a
little while man comes in and pays for
the paper, and sometimes an old friend
drops in and gives me few items from
his neck O the woods. They are always
welcome / wish they would come Of
tener, especially the man who wishes to
pay up.
1t is well enough for people who know
nothing about the art preservatlve to come
in and look at the press and other f1ings,
and then 60 home and tell the folks
about it. but to come gangling in and
dangling out every day in the year, with
no other notion than desire to parade
among the cases, disturb the printers and
hang over the job press, is the rankest of
all folly. And yet there are people who
do it, and imagine that they carry with
them the deepest, purest and most un-
utterable Joy, and have it hanging in
chunks on the furniture, to be stepped on
by the editor and diffused, as it were,
along the thorny pathway of his life.
And SO it is in my Office. If there is
another editor in the world who knows
that [ have written truth, l would fain
stretch forth my strong right hand, give
him cordial, fraternal yank, and sing
with him:
Rise, brother, rise
Let anthems ring
To be truly wise,
One must know everything

her acquaintance She has been hidden in
the night of exclusion, oriental sleep and
mental stagnation she is emerging into
the daylight of progress, and toward an
activity such as the modern world has
never seen. China has been ignorantly
despised; but China is worthy of all re-
spect, if not of the greatest of admiration.
She is quickly throwing off the clogs to her
progress, and is rapidly comingup with the
open world in the race of life, with advant
ages in her favor that cannot we'll be sur
passed. The man who can run for few
minutes in short race, and make very
fast time, is not equal to him who can run
all day the Chinese are all-day runners.
They who compete with them will need to
rise early and sit up late. China has un-
tiring industrial ability, unsurpassed stay
ing powers, and degree of patience which
no other nation can pretend to equal.
Friend and enemy of China alike should
know these facts. Few do know them.
They possess vital interest that will
soon be recognized.-Ihomas Magee IN the

The Land of Dixie.

The term, land of Dixie, as originally
used, was not intended to apply to the
South. In the last century there was a
New York land and slave owner named
Dixie, who removed with his slaves to
Georgia, some say, others say Louisiana.
In their new home his negroes were COM
PEELED to work hard and fare i'll, so that
they were always comparing their evil lot
in the South with the happy days they
experienced in that part OF the North
whence they came, which they, not know
ing the name, called Dixie's land. Hence
Dixie's land came to be regarded as sort
of Cannan, which flowed with milk and
honey, where all lived in idleness and
plenty. The name was not applied to the
South until shortly before the war. There
are many songs entitled 'Dixie's Land,p
but the only words possessing the least de-
gree of literary merit are those written by
General Albert Pike, native Of Massa-
chusetts, who settled in the South and
served in the Confederate army.

china,s Menace to the world.

Outside of China, beyond all question,
the Chinese must find room for themselves.
China is no longer shut China is open !;
and China's only grievance may be that
the world, in its turn, may build an anti
Chinese legal wall against the entrance of
her innumerable industrial armies. The
world does not know much about China
yet; il will soon, however, make more of

Mrs. John Drew is as efficient as stage
manager as she is eminent as an actress,
and no one in the profession has better
Judgment or can exercise it more quickly
than she. The following very character
istic story is told of her: At Frank
Drew's benefit at the Grand Opera House,
Philadelphia, some months ago, Henry E.
Dixey and Fanny Davenport's company,
which had been announced, failed to put
in an appearance. Mr.. Drew grew ex-
ceedingly nervous and walked up and
down in great agitation, puzzling over
what he might substitute in order not to
disappoint the public. Suddenly the idea
of appealing to Mrs. Drew, who was occu-
pying a box, struck him, and was forth
with acted upon. After hearing his tale
of woe, Mrs. Drew said in her deliberate
way: "You are not young man, be-
lieve?" Pm over fifty" replied Frank,
somewhat astonished. "You have had
some theatrical experienceT' continued

1t is estimated that if the tobacco used
in France during a single year were twisted
into a cord two inches in thickness it
would be long enough to encircle the earth
thirty times, following the line of the
equator.
