AN ARTIST WITHOUT ARMA

pieces in Painting.

Drake's Magazine.1
Physical misfortune in itself is bad
enough, but when it attracts the attention
of the vulgar aud the thoughtless it is far
worse. For instance, Charles Felu, the
singularly gifted and unfortunate artist of
Antwerp, has had to give up painting on
the free days of the museum owing to the
curious sightseers that surround him and
interfere with his work.
Born without arms in 1880, at atWarmaerede,
in Flanders, his natural instincts led him to
throw over his employment and to take to
painting as the serious object of his life.
Overcoming with the greatest perseverance
the enormous difficulty of his wants of arms,
at the present day he may be seen painting
the most delicate subject, with Dutch-like
detail, with his feet. Standing, he is help
less; but sitting on stool in his studio, his

devote much attention to country roads
until they have exhausted their contracts in
Pittsburg streets
1t is just trife difficult to conceive the
amount of stone that has been taken out of
this quarry since it was first opened. Its dis
covery was an accident, but its operation
has bean golden harvest.

In the eighteenth century, Louis WV be-
gan to send important State prisoners to tho
Mont which for nearly 100 years had been
degenerating in its piety and good works.
There still exist oubliettes, narrow cells
cut into the solid rocks; oubliettes, those
inhuman inventions in which, as their name
suggests, prisoners were putt be forgotten;
deep wells and most horrible, perhaps, the
iron cage. Dubourg, the most famous priso-
ner which the iron cage Of San Michel ever
contained, was one, Dubourg. The tale
of this man, which the San Michel
guides and guide books tell.
is full of inaccuracies. The true story has
been published twice at least in the last
few years by the efforts of a French scholar,
but the old version is more thrilling and so
they stick to it. According to the popular
story, Dubourg was a Hollander, a fearless
journalist who dared to criticise Louis
XV.'s unjust acts. The King instructed his
secret police to secure his critic regardless
of nationality. 1t was done, and he was
confined at Mont San Michel in the iron
cage. He is said to have suffered untold
horrors here for five years. Once he sue
ceeded In getting letter to his wife, which
is often quoted with effect. He died at last
of starvation and his body was eaten by
rats.
The truth of the story is bad enough.
Dubourg was a Frenchman not Hollander.
He did criticise the king but it was not the
brave sort of censure represented. 1t was
rather venal on the contrary he having been
hired by foreign ministers to use his
knowledge of Louis baseness in their in
terests He had no wife. 1t was not five
years but one year ten days that he lived in
the iron cage. He did not starve to death
but died, horribly enough, of cold and lone
illness and terror of the barbarous system Of
Imprisonment. Finally he was not eaten
by rats, but buried decently at the Mont

rected but doubt if the rodents will ever
be abandoned.

Electric Eulrs-Eye Lanterns.

The experiment which has been tried in
London of supplying the Metropolitan po-
lice force with small electric lamps instead
of the ordinary bull's-eye lantern is said to
have been entirely successful The lamp
used weighs four pounds, and is guaranteed
to give a continuous light for seven hours.
1t has proved SO handy and effective that
the "tramway" companies have been led to
take up the question of permanently adopt
ing electricity for lighting. Ii is quite pos
sible that before long the storage battery
will come into use in England for train
lighting.

A Novelty in tho Electric Fan.

During the last hot wave man was seen
walking down the most crowded street in a
large city with unique load. He had in
his hand a storage cell, about the size of a
hand valise, and in his left he carried q
tripod on the head of which was fixed fan
motor. A flexible cord connected the
motor with the battery cell. and the fan
was spinning away at a rate that produced
a lively breeze all around. There are, per-
haps, few people who are desperate or
enthusiastic enough to carry their fan
motor outfit with them in their peregrina-
tions through q crowded city, but that the
thing is possible has not been demonstrated.

New way to Set Watches.

Nicholy Jensen, of Washington, has pat
ented simple device that greatly faciIi-
tates the accurate setting of watches. It
consists in lever which, when pulled out,
stops the second hand at the so point
After this the other hands are set, and
when the secondhand of the regulator
reaches the go point the lever on the watch
being set is pushed in. This releases the
secondhand and the other two at the same
moment The three hands thus march in
step.

the last census, has come out to meet him.
1t is not that an arrival there is novelty
since the Island claims 40, 1000 visitors
year, nor because of any QuiXotic notions of
hospitality entertained by the inhabitants.
The fact is that the people of San Michel
are either already in, or are trying to get
into the hotel business, and it is the custom
for each hotel personnel to come out en-
masse to coddle, worry. or compel the un-
lucky tourist to come in to its particular
hostelry.
Look Into Their Ncig ghbors' Chimneys.
Inside the rugged stone walls which zig
gag up and down and around the little
island one finds town of one narrow street.
When he stands at the foot of the street and
looks up he sees wall rising above wall in a
line hich is frightiuily near the perpln-
dicuar If he climbs to the uppermost
dwelling and looks down it is. into his
neighbors' chimney-pots If he leaves the
perching village and walks through the
great granite pile which tops the mount
and runs down its sides he finds himself be-
wildered by an ENHANCEMENT of buttresses,
towers, parapets, vast halls. a structure
which seems to have been built without
plan, which is without life, and which
seems 10 have no object for existence in the
present generation.
What is the meaning of this idle pile of
granite, this swallow-like town?
One must read long page OF history to
understand Mont San Michel, for it goes
back, SO the learned say, to the Druids who
worshiped there. The Romans knew it
and called it Mons Belenns The Mer-
ovingians built monastery there. But it
was not until the eighth century that it be-
came famous In a parish nearby lived q
good bishop, Saint Aubert by name. 1t
was his custom to spend many hours in the
grottoes of the mount in meditation and
prayer. One day Saint mich.l appeared to
him and ordered him to build him chapel
on the rock. Saint Aubert tried to escape
the task, but he had no rest of soul until he
had done the angels bidding. The chapel
became famous almost at once for the mira
cles done and pilgrims sought it from
all over the Christian world. In the tenth
century an order OF monks was installed,
and in the eleventh was begun the church
which is the center of the great pile 10
famous to-day.
It Was tho City of Books.

Independence Day Is Celebrated
On the New Plantation.

Independence Day Is Celebrated
On the New Plantation.
The uncommonly fine weather, to-
gether with the perfect Sunday-like
appearance, which hung around
Makaweli factory on the morning OF
Monday, November %, led one to the
foregone conclusion that there must
have happened something more than
is the common lot on plantations on
the Garden Isle, and later on in the
day the fact was realized by a goodly
turn out Of the plantation employees
to enjoy and make the most of the
holiday which had been given them
by an impromptu programme con-
sistihg of athletic sports.
Although no records were beaten,
yet, such as there was, showed proof
positive that the boys meant to join
in and pass an enjoyable day, which
was thoroughly realized, augmented
by the presence of the ladies and the
profound interest evinced by the
resident engineers, whose endeavors
to make the day a success, met with
the entire appreciation of their en-
ployees. The following was the pro-
gramme, and the fortunate owners,
to whom valuable presents as prizes
will be awarded to day from the
hands of Mrs. Morrison, as mementos
of the holiday on the 28th of Novem-
Der, 1892.

In the japanese camp close by,
the presence of bunting and a
wrestling ring brought the "tired-
footed" heroes, with the motley
crowd of spectators to witness the
japanese wrestling, which also passed
off satisfactorily.
About the most exciting event of
the day was the "tug o'war" which
consisted of ''picked up" nine-the
major part being English VS.. Ger
mans and Amerlcans-but as the
latter team had an anchor whose
corpulence was more than match
for the Britons' sinewy muscles, as a
| natural consequence after brief
struggle for q minutes the victory
was given to the Americans.

Mrs. Sarah M. Black of Seneca,
Mo-, during the past two years has
been affected with Neuralgia of the
Head, Stomach and Womb, and
writes: My food did not seem to
strengthen me at all and my appe-
tite was very variable. My face
was yellow, my head dull, and 1 had
such pains in my left side. In the
morning when I got up I would
have flow of mucus IN the mouth,
and a bad, bitter taste. Sometimes
my breath became short, and I had
such queer, tunbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. Iached
all day under the shoulder blades,
in the left side, and down the back
of my limbs. It seemed to be worse
in the wet. cold weather of Winter
and Spring; and whenever the spells
came on, my feet and hands would
turn cold, and I could get no sleep
at all. I tried everywhere, and got
no relief before using August Flower
Then the change came. It has done
me a wonderful deal of good during

! Tidal Wave Brings Stone
House to View.


A correspondent from KilaIea,
Kauai, writes to the ADVERTISER
that during the recent tidal wave
at Kauai, the sea washed off the
beach at Haena for a considerable
distance inland, bringing a big
stone to view. The stone is said to
be cut in the shape of a house,
every part being complete. The
stone was hollow inside, represent
ing sleeping apartments. The
writer, however, does not state
whether an ordinary man could
sleep in it or not. The sea is now
dashing upon the house, and it
may be totally destroyed if not re-
moved soon. The stone is situated
at the base of the Pail of Ke-e,
where the remains of the heather
temple of Lohiau now stands. The
residents of Haena claim the stone
to be the dwelling house Of Lo-
hiau, as it answers to the descrip-
tons of it handed down in history.
The neighborhood where the anci-
ent stone-house now stands is sup
posed to be the exact spot where
Lohiau's stood. Not far from it,
about three or four hundred yards
inland, are the wonderful caves of
Kanaloa and Kapalae, whose
strange waters have mystified the
Hawaiians since the days of Papa
and Wakea.
