PARIS, June 5.-As American art is we'll
represented this year at the two Paris sa-
Ions it may not be without interest to your
readers to learn who some of the most
prominent of these artists now are and
something about their studios.
Edward L. Weeks has a handsome little
villa at the corner of the Avenue Wagram.
The studio, large one, is up stairs on the
first floor. Its walls are covered with
sketches in oils which the artist brought
back from his rambles in eastern lands
Egypt, Morocco and India-most of them
being glimpses of delightful visions of
Cairo, Fee and Benares. The whole at
mospbere of the place is redolent of the
orient and things oriental Scimiters with
Jade hats and recurvated points, ugly
looking creeses, light and delicate sandal

FOR BRAVE LIFE SAVERS
ROBERT GRAVES WRITES OF MEDALS
OFFERED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Three Hundred and Twenty-Five of These
Medals Have Been Awarded Since Their

Them Have Been Won.
Especial Correspondence


WASHINGTON, June ia few days ago
Secretary Foster wrote letter to Curtis
Harrison, a corporal ia the regular army,
and inclosed to him a piece of silver. 1t Is
not often that cabinet officers write letters
to plain corporals, but Corporal Harrison
is hero, and the piece of silver sent him is
one which he will be proud to wear to his
dying day-the medal of the life saving
service, which is awarded in recognition of
gallant conduct. One day last November
Corporal Harrison was the driver of a
wagon in which Captain Schuyler, of the
Fifth cavalry, Mrs E. D. Thomas and Miss
Nellie Thomas (wife and daughter of Cap
tain Thomas also Of the Fifth cavalry
were passengers.
In fording Red river, Texas, the four
horses and the wagon were swept 100 yards
down stream by the dangerous current,
and all were in imminent danger Of drown
ing. The peril was greatly augmented
when one of the horses became cntangled
in his harness, floundering wildly, and
threatening to overturn the wagon into
the raging water. Without hesitation,
Corporal Harrison, though unable to swim,
sprang into the torrent, held fast to the
harness of the wheel horses, untaRgled the
drowning horses, disengaged the leaders,
and, mounting one of them, reached the
shore and rode rapidly to summon assist
ance This done, he returned. plunged
again into the stream, trusted to the cur
rent to float him to the right spot. and
managed to reach the imperiled officer
and women and to render valuable assist
ance in getting them and the remaining
horses to the shore.
Three hundred and twenty-five of these
life saving medals have been awarded since

Musical Cows.

That pigs arc not tho only animals who take n delight in musical sounds, may be proven by the following incl dent of which was witness on more than one occasion. Opposite to our house was large field in which some twelve or thirteen cows were put dur ing the summer monthA Ono day . German band commenced to play on the road which divided the house from the field. Tho cows were quietly graz ing at the other end of the field. out no sooner did they hear tine music than they ct once advanced towards it and stood with their heads over the wall at tentively listening. This might have passed unnoticed, but upon the musi- clans going away. ths animals followed them as we'll as they could on the other side of the wall. and when they could get no further stood lowing piteously. So excited did the osws become thak some of them ran round and round the field to try and ges out, but finding no outlet returned to tho corner where they had lost sight of the band, and it was some time before they seemed satisfied that the sweet sounds werc really gone. It seems a strange coincidence that both tho pigs and cows were charmed by music produced by German band American Naturalist

CHARMING AWAY WARTS.

 "Warts !" ejaculated the oracle to the providing member of the oyster convention in Main street grecssy stosc ia Lewiston. Saturday. "rvs had 'sm. Ysa, cir, I've had 'em but I charmed 'sm away" After thh statement the nssm- bsrs of the convention fell into silence, considering the departed warty days of youth. If man will write down tho number of warts that he has on hh hand on the hat band of tramp. without the tramp knowing 1t, the laster will carry the warts away with him." suggested George William, tho elderly oracle on warts, after long silence. @Warts used to give in," hs continued, @when you cut one notch on green elder stick for every wart you had. and then rub tho stick on each wart, and then buried it in the barnyard till 1t rots. That fixes 'en. Take a back snail, rub him on the warts and then stick him on a thorn bush. Do this nine successive nights and the snails and the warts will be dead to- SStuCt.

"A man of elderly mien and sad features was the king of the charmers. l went to him surreptitiously one day and he looked me in the eyes and said something that ,cunded like 'wobbIey, gobbley, gum,' and lot moro of the same interesting description. I've forgotten whether the warts went or not We used to think that to take as many pebbles as we had warts, touch them to tho excrescences, sew them in a bag, take them to tho four corners of the cross roads and throw the bag over the left shoulder, would do the business The only bad feature of this was that if any person should find the bag and open it. he would reap the warty treasure of the bag.

 ''Go you up to the town and fetch the best doctor you can find that will como immedl- ately."
