Buffers Bravery.

Colonel Charles L. Fuller of State
street has often testified to his
friends of the great esteem in which
he held General Butler as a soldier.
That General Butler was physically a
very brave man is affirmed by Colonel
Fuller, who was in the generals com
mand during the war.
During a reconnaissance of the en-
emy's position one morning the gen
eral with some followers was cornered
by body of Confederate troops. To
escape it was necessary for the gen
erals force to travel across a piece of
open country which was swept by
the hostile guns. Every officer dis
mounted or crouched low on his
horses back, but General Butler alone
rode calmly across the open erect on
his horse and scowling complacently
at the firing troops. He was almost
the last to secure a place of safety

The Subject of the Mule.

IDEAS, if they are TO be expressed in
graphic or plastic art, must be in
calnated, and the human figure is the
one great medium of expression for
abs tract ideas in the arts. That the
figure should be nude if il is to ex-
press great and simple ideas seems
almost natural AS Adam and Eve
were naked and were not ashamed. p"
SO the gods and heroes of all people
have been the glorifed natural man
clothes were an impertiEence to
Jupiter or Apollo. If one figures a
human incarnation of some great
idea-force or love or glory or beauty
it seems natural that the artificial
trappings of civilization should be
discarded, and one does not see what
costume could have to do with Micn-
ael Angeles might" and Morning"
Truth is always naked, and the
golden age had no need of clothes.
In this sort of work drapery may
indeed be used, but for ornament, not
for covering. In ideal art the func
tons of drapery are to give mass and
dignity to what might otherwise be
divided, to contrast multiplicity and
intricacy of small folds with the
broader forms of the naked body, to
give variety of color to a composition
that would otherwise be monotonous.
Michael Angelo was, above all,
master of the nude, but in lis earlier
work he uses drapery magnifcently
for these ends.-Kenyon Cox in

Telling Trees by Steam.

England comes to the front with a
new invention of value. A Chelsea
manufacturer has brought out an i'm
proved form of steam tree telling
and prosecuting machine. Since the
original patent was taken out for
these machines number have been
sent to all parts of the world. They
are mounted upon strong axle, sup
ported on pair of wheels of such a
diameter as to enable the saw to cut
through tree at height of about
three feet from the ground. This
skeleton carriage is fitted with a pair
of shafts, which renders it readily
transportable through the forest.
After the tree is felled the entire
machine can be partially rotated
upon its axis so that by simply turn
ing hand wheel the saw can be set
to cut in a vertical direction, or at
any angle between the horizontal and
vertical position. 1t generally hap
pens, when large tree falls, that it
does not lie fiat, as its branches holds
the upper part of the trunk off the
ground, and so, in order to crosscut
trees lying in such positions, it is
necessary to incline the saw some
what from a direct vertical line,
which is readily done by the adjust
ment.-Duluth NewSTribune.

Two Bright Minds In Collision.

General Butler had charge of a bill,
and in the time allotted to him for clos
ing the debate he was answering seriatim
the members who had opposed him. He
treated them all with respect until he
came to Mr.. Cox, whom he answered
last.
"And now," said he, "as to the gentle

and very simple. 1t is whistled by the
bootblacks on the street; it is sung by
the chambermaids in the hotels; it is in
everybody's mouth-'Shoo, fly; don't bod

Butler suited the action to the word
by drawing his right hand rapidly acros:

and took his seat amid the laughter Of

Fashions In Disease.

| There are fashions in maladies as
well as in dress, and frequently the
maladies are as little new as the
--latest novelty" in dress, only they
are both new to our attention, and
therefore of special Importance. We
are inclined to think that in the mat
ter of disease nerves are especially
absorbing attention at the present
and are considered quite feature at
the present age. We ourselves are
inclined to think that modern nerves
are very much like their older breth-
ren. We have only to open the
pages of the lighter literature of less
than a century ago to read, with a
mixture of amusement and contempt,
of the ''vapors, ''swOons" and sob
bings" of the female element of So
ciety and of the nervous ilritability
Of the stronger sex.
Under the light of oul. present
knowledge we trace the prevalence
of neurOtic and hysterical conditions
quite unconsciously placed before us
and treated very much as a matter
of course. Bearing in mind that we
live in an age of pressure and hurry,
that nervous tendencies are detected
and classified in an unhesita ting and
relentless fashion, quite unknown
when ''vapors" and "swooning"
seemed to have the correct char
acteristics of truly ladylike beings"
and the broken head of a postboy was
but mild indication of irritation on
the part of young men, we consider
that modern minds may with reason
abate some of their nervous" fears

Indian Legends to Order.

The American Folklore society charges
that college students who serve as wait
ers at Maine summer resort hotels are
trying to supply the demand for Indian
legends connected with each rock, hill
and stream by manufacturing them,
making the legend fit the name instead
of the name fit the legend, and proposes
to see what can be done about it. But
college students should not be charged
with monopoly of this business, even if
they are guilty at all. 1t was long before
the days of student walters that the alb
surd story of the derivation of monhegan,
from the pigeon English, ''man-he-gone, :"
instead of from the real Indian words,
''menahan," an island, and "kigan,"
land in the great sea, was circulated,
and the other equally ridiculous attempt
to translate mooselucmeguntic into
''moose-he-look-my- gun-tick.
AT the meeting of the Folklore society,
where the charge against the students
was made, one speaker noted that Beaver
island in Maine was so called because a
beaver crawled out of a lake on that is
land at the command of the great spirit.

BEARDED PARSONS,
Reflections on the Tendency of CIcrgymen
to Hirsute Adjournment,

to Hirsute Adornment.
An attack has been made in the col
umns of a religious contemporary upon
the growing tendency among clergymen
| to adorn themselves with boards. The
author of the spirited onslaught admits
that he is a layman, and he treats the
matter from purely lay point of view.
| Being present at a recent ordination, he
declares that the gentlemen presented
| for holy orders ''could in nowise be ac-
Cused of being a company of 'beardless
boys ON the contrary, every hirsute
facial adornment possible was to be
found among them, from flowing mus
tache to luxuriant side whiskers and
beard" He further wishes that the
clergy could hear their lay critics on the
subject of ''hairy parsons" as in that
case he fancies that they could not con-
tinue to treat it as a trivial matter, and
he finishes up his letter by the extraor-
binary remark that the wearing of
whiskers and beard "just makes the
difference between looking like a gen
tleman or the reverse"
This is certainly rather hard on the
hundreds and thousands of gentlemen
who have abjured the use of the razor.
Would the critic maintain that they
have all suffered fatal degeneracy of
appearance by this conduct? No doubt
there may be people who still hold to the
superstition that a gentleman ought to
shave, just as it was believed by our an
cestors that persons DESTROYS of being
considered to belong to ''the quality
must wear wigs. The custom of wearing
the hair on the face, however, has be-
come so general in every profession that
it might have been imagined that it had
won an established position by this time,
secure from the ouslaughts either of cler-
icals or laymen.
The critic obviously forgets that it
may be just as damaging to clergy
mans influence over his parishioners to
be called a 'be2rdless boy" as to be
called a ''hairy parson." And, after ALL
it is hardly the most manly and earnest
section of churchmen who think that q
clergyman's principal duty is to look
nice in a surplice. 1t may somewhat al
lay the discomfort of this friend of the
barber if he remembers that not all the
gentlemen who are ordained become at
once rectors, or even curates. Perhaps
when they take upon themselves active
spiritual duties they may see fit to alter
their facial appearance, and thus their
first shave would Immediately precede
their first sermon.-LondOn Telegraph.

In the Same Chair.

In the years of his highest reputation
Daniel Webster was favored with a de-
gree of personal adulation and ''toady-
ing' which was not altogether agreeable
to him. 1t is related that on one occa-
sion when public reception was given
to him at a hotel in Boston particularly
obsequious old Office seeker was intro
duced. The man fattered Webster and
ground his own ak, bowling and scraping
until the great man was tired of him,
and bidding him good day settled down
heavily into the nearest chair. But the
man, instead of passing on and giving a
chance to the next conner, fingered near
and seemed to have something still on
his mind, though he looked very blissful.
Webster observed this and said not
very good naturally, MAY I ask you,
sir, if you want anything more of me?'
"Oh-oh, nor said the man, Sinking.
"Only perhaps may be permitted to re-
mark that am proud to say that my hat
