scTNE PAINTING.

The painting of a scene is a long and labori-
Gus process. When a manager decides TO
bring out something new he has consulta-
ton with the painter as to the scenery. Then
the artist must read the text in order TO ia
miliarze himself with the dramatic action,
the locality of the different scenes
and the time of their enactment. He
then makes his sketches in crayon or
ink, and the parts to be used IN the
wings or foreground are cut out. Should the
scene represent a street, two or three houses
on both side are separated from the picture
for wing pieces The stage carpenter and
mechanics are given these fragments 10 use as
models ia constructing the frames on which
the canvas is 10 be stretched. The artists
work in this manner into the perspective
until the back drop is reached. To paint this
canvas successfully requires great Skill Tor
the actual perspective of the stage has
to be carried into the canvas. When
viewed from near range during the day
the canvas produces the effect of the most
barbarous crudeness. but viewed from the
proper distance when all the lights are lit the
harmony of cOloring is most enchanting. The
frst-class scene painters in America hardly
number twelve, yet the demand for their
work is so great that they are often called
long distances TO paint scenery for special
productions. The remuneration, too, IS so
liberal the heads Of the profession making
from $4,000 TO $4,000 a year, that 1t seems
strange the profession IS not overcrowded. A
school of scenic art would no doubt prove
highly successful.

For Substance of Doctrine.

The numerous prosecutions for "heresyn
with the numerous OutcrleS against clergy
men who are alleged to hold theological doc
trines at variance with the creeds of their
churches make pertinent some fundamental
study OF what may be called thelethics OF creed
subscription. There are two questions, closely
connected with each other that are constantly
recurring. The first is this: Can a man
honestly assent 10 a confession of faith unless
he positively believes every line and letter or
il in its strict and generally understood sense!
The second question Is tins: Can
man. particularly a clergyman, honestly
remain in a church after he has ceased
10 agree at all points with the doctunal basis
of that church? 10 assent TO a creed insln-
cerely. by twisting language and conceallng
the actual state of ones mind, is thoroughly
unmany and unchmstian. To remain IN
church after vital faith in what the church
teaches and its members and ministry pro-
fess is repugnant TO moral Sc nse. But BIT
must be remembered that all human creeds
are in their very nature and Of necessity
imperfect They do not as q rule pro
fess 10 be infallibe or infinite. They
are ayowedly based upon the superior
authority of a divine revelation, which
they undertake to epitomizesEand inter-
pref. Provision in many instances IS made
for some scope and leeway of private ludg
ment. and it is provided that subscriber may
accent the creed for substance of doctrine"
This cannot fairly be taken to afford Hood

thing pertaining TO belief or unbelief can
come in. ON the other hand, it does fairly.

must not stay in a church if he disagrees with

ART OF srARTINa HoRsEs.

John A. Morris, the millionaire founder of
the Westchester race-track. is one Of the most
ACCOMPLISHED starters in this country. lie IS
6aldwels only rival. Starting. like the max
no of violns, seems to be a lost art, for
out of the countless numbers OF
horsemen there is only one man who
has the requisite qualities for getting
a field of thoroughbreds away on even terms
and who is willing 10 do it for a salary. The
most experienced hOrseman when they at
tempt the feat soon give up, though there are
amateurs like Captain Conner, who possess a
natural aptitude for the work. Mr.. Morris
has an inherited love for race horses. He
comes of a family that have been interested
in the sport for many generations, and the
MAGNIFICENT track at Westchester was partly
built to interest his son, who does
not enjoy very good health, in open
air sports Notable men like Morris are
often the subject of aimless talking but 1t
would be profitable investment TO watch
them closely. The Westchester course IS the
greatest track in abe country and its success
seems marvellous, but this was oil foreseen by
Morris. who invested nearly two million IN
the venture. After it was improved the As
tors, who have been buying all the property
that they can in that section, offered
him II per cent. more than he had OK
pended on the entire track. The Rhlnelander
estate owns considerable property in that
neighborhood. and it is being improved
rapidly. The city grows in that direction,
and every year increases the value or Mr..
