Wanted q Good Foot.

Models are an important part of q
sculptor's need. | doubt whether in
this particular we differ from oul
Greek predecessors. for We read oi
choice presents, such as peacocks, given
by Phidias 10 his models, showing how
much he valued them, presumably be-
cause ii was as difficult then as now tG
get good ones. To be model is 4
business of itself and, when we remem.
ber the number of art schools there are,
even in London alone, and the many
artists who are entirely dependent upon
them, it may be realized what large
body they must be.
The men are mostly Italians, chiefly,
j am told. from the neighborhood OF
Naples. The women are, as rule,
English, and have often sat from babies.
To find well-formed foot is almost an
impossibility among the best Of them.
owing to the long cramping in boots,
but friend once told me that he had a
cast of the foot of an Indian woman that
was as beautiful as the foot of a Greek
statue.
Our English models lack often the
suppleness of figure that distinguishes
more southern races, such as the Italian,
which is partly accounted for by the
heavy, cumbersome clothes our climate
uecessitates. But such as they are we
have TO make the best of them and q
really good one is eagerly hit after.
Good Words.

The chameleon is said TO live on air,
and il is supposed that the live lizard

feeding it. This is all buncombe. The
chameleon lives on the kind of food

he finds in his native woods. it is

has 10 have food to live. OF course il
can 90 long time without visible food,
living off the notes floating in the At
mosphere. but it grows thin and finally
starves to death on that kind of diet.
In its wild state it lives off small gnats,
plant lice.ilies and tender plants. When
well fed they glisten like different shades
OF gold. In foul atmosphere full OF
floating germs and living animalculae
the lizards and chameleons may exist

brought into pure atmosphere they
starve and die, and starvation and the
blight of the chilly air is the death doom

oSightning and they can jump like a
frog. One will sometimes jump yard
and grab fly on the wing.
