The elections for the council general
were going on all over the island of Cor
sica. The canton of Soccia comprises
several villages, among others Gu1gnc,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of its people.
Tbe elections took place in each village,

ter the village that day.
The inhabitants of Guagno chose TO
ignore this order, and 60 of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi-
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two
gendarmes-not armed-had been placed
at the entrance of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were to
come no farther. The mayor of Guagno
cried "FireT There was n general vol.

stating that 1t was the mayor of Guagno
who gave the order to fire upon the gen.

Of all living things rats seem to be
among the most repulsive, and when
dead what can be their use? But even
they are the subjects of production in
the industrial arts. The fur is valuable
and finds ready sale. The skins make
a superior glove-the CANT de rat-and
are specially used for the thumbs of kid
gloves, because the skin of the rat is
strong and elastic. The thigh bones were
formerly valued as toothpicks for clubs,
but are now out of fashion, while the
tendons and bones are boiled up to make
the gelatin wrappers for bonbons.- -

him with me. having first borrowed an
apron and filed it with range This
he was to carry while accompanying
me in the stable, but the moment we
reached the door the herd set up a
trumpeting-they had scented the fruit

he dropped the apron and its contents
and scuttled off. like a scared rabbit.

door and began de novo as before.

Every elephant in the herd had his

A. the time of the influx of Ameri-
cans to California the Spanish general,
Vallejo, was literally monarch of all
he surveyed" His lands were of the
extent of a German principality: his
cattle roa1ned "a thousand hills" his
horses numbered far into the thou
sands.
He welcomed the strangers; he en-
couraged and assisted in the annexa-
ton of the country; he gave right and
left of his possessions. Many whom he
trusted robbed him, many whom he
benefited proved ~ungrateful; yet he
gloried in the progress of California,
and he was too proud to complain on
his own account.
II like the Yankees" he used to say.
II would rather be swindled by them
than by anybody else; they do it so
scientifically"

spirit, wished to give the world facts

had endured. he said:

Women Painters In Medieval and More Re-

In the general o~verhauling of rec

wonen of great talent in various ar

fists, something like a dozen have at
tanned greater honor than falls to the
lot of many ONE of genius even in
this, the woman's cycle. There was
Lavinia Fontana, daughter and pupil
of Prospero Fontana, who attracted
the notice and patronage of Pope Greg
Dry MIL, and vas appointed as his
painter-inordinary. Her portraits and
historical pictures gained her great
renown, and are still to be seen
in the church at Bologna and
in the Dresdan gallery. In 1890

the English nobility during the reign
of Charles |. 1t is said that she was az

little later, was considered a prodigy at
her fifteenth year, and left some hum
dred and fifty paintings, besides some
etched prints from her own designs.
She was poisoned by her servant Ii 1904.
In Bologna, about the same time, Pro-
pertia de Bossi executed a fine piece of
s~tatuary on the subject of the Passion,
and in Florence Sister Plantilla painted
the frescoes of the convent Of ST. Cath
crime Of Sienna. The first woman ar
fist Of the Dutch school was Rachael
Van Pool, whose pictures Of fruit and
flowers have rarely been surpassed in
excellence. She was appointed painter
to the Elector Palatine, and continued
to produce pictures up to her eightieth
year. In both Holland and Germany
her pictures are treasured up with zen

L Mothers WSy,

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
boy, he was very DESTROYS of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him, however, and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers in
general, found that if the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained a book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale, the
keynote and how to find it, and the time
Of the notes.
This was only book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use Of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon a species Of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, Observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as he
expressed it, ''soOn began almost to sing
with US"
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that bore no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
ont Of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had found
out the way.-YOuth's Companion.
