Jan Van Beers first great hit, La
sirene. representing a naval officer
helping a pretty girl into yacht gig.
underwent some strange vicissltudcs.
The picture, as we are told, was exhib-
ited at che Brussels salon. and having
been distinguished by royal notice the
critics and brother artists were soon IN
full cry. They declared that Jan Van
Beers could not have produced such
elaborateness Of finish and minuGencss
of detail had it not been that be had
painted over photograph.
The pugnacious young Belgian did not
sit quietly down under what he termed
this Infamous assertion. The head Of
the young yachtswoman had been spe-
cially assailed. and he offered TO allow
his critics to scratch the head out and
chemically destroy the colOrs down to
the white canvas. and should there be
found any trace of a photograph he
pledged himeelf to pay over el 900. On
the other hand. should it he shown that
the picture owed its art to the sole agen-
cy of brush aud pencil. then his critics
were TO pay "A like sum TO his pet home
for incurabls idiots or some such insti-
tuition.
Needless TO say, the challenge was not
taken up, but 4 short time after, while
the picture was still in the gallery. the
head of the lady was surreptitiously cut
out and the picture otherwise defaced.
Fortunately the painter was able to set
it all right again with few days hard
labor, and it now belongs to veal by
South American lady and is understood
to lie in London. The right Of teproduc-
tion was sold 10y the artist for l,OGl
francs, and he believes the publisher
who bought 1t made something like lO0,-
600 francs profit out of it.-Pall Mall

Omaha and for many years were in tho
majority at elections, when they held

The result of this immigration was a
strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in 1873, when Cen
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit to the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon, was just emerging from
tho garb OF a mining camp, but few
entorprising citizens with Ex-Governor
Hauser at the head determined 10 give
a fitting reception to tho visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
In a stagecoach several miles from tho
town and escorted them 20 the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon a
banquet was given in he First National
bank, located then IN the present gam
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly OF canned
goods. Jack rabbit meat and fresh game,

he arose with a wineglass in one hand

The Chances OF Three Pennies Failing All
Heads or All Tails.

The Chances OF Three Pennies Failing All
Heads or All Tails.
Supposiug a man to toss three pen
mics in the air, what are the chances
of their coming down oil heads or
tailsl That is a question discussed in
a recent number Of Nature by Fran
cis 0alton OF the Royal society. He
upsets a popular delusion regarding
the laws of chance. 1t is obvious
that at least two of the coins thrown
IN the mir must turn up alike, for
when the coins are on the ground
there must always be either two
heads or tails showing. The question
then is as to the chance of the third
coin turning up head or a tail. 1t
is of course AN even chance whether
third CON turns one side OF the
other.
IL it therefore an even chance that
all three coins will be alikel MIR.
GaltOn says it is not an even chance,
and that the man who bets his money
on such theory would lose in the
end. He says the relative chance of
all three coins turning up alike Is 2
to 8, and he figures it out in this way
There arO two differenC and equally
probable ways in which a coin may
turn up; there are four ways in
which two coins may turn up, and
there are eight ways in which three
coins may do 50. OF these eight ways
one is all heads and another all tails.
While it is an even chance whether
a third coin is heads or tails, it is not
an even chance that the third coir
will turn the same as the other two
In order TO test the matter bIr Gal
ton tossed three coins eight tunes
Only twice did they come upull alike,
while the third coin was equally di.
vided between heads and tails. Mr..
Galton then made 12O throws of dice,
with three dice in each throw, the
odd numbers counting as heads aud
the even numbers as tails. The l20
throws were divided into groups of
40 each and gave the result of al
alike-S, l2, 8; total, 28-as against
all not allle-32, 20, %; total, %
This seemed to settle the matter an(
indicated that the most probable ex
pectation i'll the case of the dice was
80 to 80.

The connection between the head
and ieet Is well known. A Lot head
is ordinarily relieved by a hot foot
bath. So cold feet tend to congest
the brain and other internal organs.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
tight lacing or tight fitting shoes.
But it is as much a suicidal act to
hasten death by COMPRISING the
lungs or the feet as by COMPRISING
the neck with a rope.
Sometimes cold feet are caused by
thin shoes, the owners of which must
be lett to ule as the fool dieth. Some
times they come from carelessness in
the matter of CvershOes and wet feet
"a Carelessness for which, in the
case of chiIdren, the mothers are

FAMOUS eAr5ls SONGS
IEo Instances w'hers the Tids Wa Turned
b. Singing Theni!

iEo tnstoncea Where the Iido Wa Turned
b. Singing Theai!
There are two instances on record
Of a battle being won by a war song.
In the fifth century Germaaus, bishop
OF Auxerre, and Lupus, bishop Of
Troyes. were sent into Britain to re-
futc the doctrines Of Pelagius. Dur
ing their stay IN this island the Picts
and Scots, hearing that the Roman
legion had been Withdrawn, com.
menccd hostilties and drove the Brit.
ons from the northern to the more
southern parts of the island. Ger
manus, at the request of the hard
pressed islanders. led them against
the Picts and Scots, who had ad.
vsnced as far as Mold, IN Flintshire.
The bishop. having been a military
commander in his youth. placed his
men in an advantageous pssition and
then started one of the songs Of the
church. This song began at the com
mencenent of the battle, and so vo
ciferUusly did the BritOns sing the re
fraln, "Halleiuiah." that tho hllls,
echoing with the sound, terrified
their enemies and caused them 70
fee in all directions. This was called
the Halleluiah victory. The date is
liked by all historians ct A. ID 429.
The second instance occurred on
the 9th Of November, 1902, when the
French. under DumOuiiez, encounter.
ed the Austrians at Jemmapes, IN
Belgium. The day was going dead
against the French, when Dumouliez
ran out to the front and raised the
'Marseillaise. Forty thousand voices
instantly took up the chorus, and in
spired by the magic of the battle song
the French rallied and fell so furious
lyupOn the Austrians that the tide If
battle was completely turned and
victory gwen for defeat. -Pearson's
Weekly.
