4 lightning .Ar:5st J.'..o Keeps Up with
 the Auc.ioneer.
 The great American dcsideratur of speed is strikingly illustrated by a painter who has opened a studio and auction rccn on one Of the principal business streets, apparently to demon stratc that Lcngfellow was entirely in error when he wrote ''art is long, says tho Boston Transcript A man who happened to stray into the art gallery one morning chanced to speak Of Raphael, and was asked by the painter who Raphael was and if he be- longed in the 2:30 class. Before he could answer the artist had executed 1.-The Falls of the Yellowstone in oil the picture had been framed, sold, and the purchaser had gone out with the prize under his arm. The lightning cClorist hod his paints spread out be- fore hin 3n heaps on a sort of mortar board and ranged behind him in pails, while on one side of him are the thou sand canvas frames that he turns off before breakfast. Follow him while he produces 9 moonlight scene. First. he Cet5 out his whitewash brush with out the long handle, and, dipping it in the slate-colored ink, primes the sky of evening. But he is careful to leave small circle urscathed in the center: that i3 to stand for the moon. Then across the bottom of the canvas the brush is flashed, leaving behind it a heavier trail, while two big patches of black paint at each side form the shadowy hills. Then, with narrow brush of black, the trees and their bare branches are located, as if the artist were striping the wheels of an express wagon. Another dash of black answers for boat, and two irregular touches are the men propelling it. By this time the auctioneer is crying: "How much for this elegant moonlight scene in the north woods? Start mel Che dollar and sixty-fve cents do I hear? Soldn' And the buyer gets the colors on his sleeve in putting it under his arm. ''Little boys" said the auc- tioneer at this point, ''you had better go home and give the old folks show. But, boys," he cries after the slowly retreating forms, 'come down to-mor- row. I'll have some nice beds put up here tonight, so that you needn't go home to sleep" And the ''professor' has the lead by three pictures on the auctioneer, who begins to point out the merits of ''an elegant forest scene"

An Unusual Coincidence.

The Vienna correspond ent of the London Standard says that on one of the estates of Count Potocki in Galicia the very rare event of a mother, daugh- ter and granddaughter each giving birth to a son on the same day has just occurred. The mother is forty-eight. and the infant son is her sixteenth child. The daughter, who has just presented her husband with his eighth, isthirty-three years old, and the grand daughter, who was married last year, is not yet quite sixteen. All the three newborn sons are strong and healthy, and the same may be said of their mothers, who belong to the Polish peasant class.

India shawis at Windsor,

Queen Victoria $ store of India shawls IS failing. The shawls are getting scarcer and career every year. After the India mutiny tribute was laid upon certain princes and chiefs in India to their sovereign lady of divers costly stuffs, and for number of years the shawls, etc., arrived regularly; but of late years, owing to the deaths of some of the tributary potentates and the suppression of others, the stock has much declined. The precious articles are kept in sandalwood wardrobes at Windsor under the care of the queens first wardrobe woman.

 BALTIMORE, Aug. 9.-Ex- United States Shipping Commissioner l.. P. .Drydon, who, after refusing to resign when re- quested to do so by Secretary Carliele, was yesterday officially dismissed from office, says he will not ieavewithout fight. eff necessary will carry the case to the su- preme court of the United States, he said today.
 MT. Drydon has been shipping commis- sioner at Baltimore for three years. About a year ago Mir. Carlisle called for his res- ignation, but he flaty refused to resign, claiming that he had properly discharged his duties and the secretary had no power to remove him.
 The officials of the treasury department looked up their authority under the law and got an opinion from the attorney general. The department is convinced that Secretary Carlisle has perfect right to re- move shipping commissioner, and MT. Albert c. Kerwin, who was appointed yes- terday, received his commission this morn ing. He will attempt to take charge of the office Monday, when there will be prob- ably battle "royal.h

Joy of Building a Suburban House.

The ideal suburbanite has no time to fool with an architect. He supervises the construction of that house himself laud- able and loving ambition, for is it not his home? The workmen are pleased with this arrangement. It takes them about five minutes to ascertain just how much less than nothing it is possible for man to know about house building and yet be able to distinguish an auger hole frSll mortise. When he speaks of "jice\ as "joists," they take his measure And when he calls 'studd ms" "scanting," l" he is up to his knees in the consomme land getting deeper at every step But, blessed be the placid bliss of perfect ignoraAce, he doesn't know it. He is serencly Happy He prowls about that house gettinainto trouble at every turn. He falls through. the first floor jice' and abrades his hap py shins. He looks up to see what is the matter when the downtrod1en sons of toll on the second floor shout, Look out be- lowl" and catches a hatchct handle in his eye. He walks under the scaffolding when the plasterers are at work and gets gouts of mortar on top of his new hat and down the back of his neck, but what of thats The mocking laughter of the busy mud wasps" disturbs him not. He joins in it, merriest of them all. - Is it not his own hat and his own neck? And, oh, bliss of the blistered, is it not his own mortar?- Ladies Home Journal.

The Pose of 8 Moose's Head.

wish to call attention to what have concluded from personal observation is monumental blunder on the part of illus trators and especially of taxlderlnists in the position given to the head of the moose. Last year and this year 1 saw seven moose standing quietly in the open, and 1 took especial pains to note the posi- tion of the head Instead of thrusting it forward, as is invariably shown neither of these moose held it's head in any such position. Five of the seven were bulls, one of them patriarch All of their heads were erect-not so erect as deer's, but far from the horizontal position usual ly shown. After the moose gets in mo- ton he does thrust his head forward in the manner and attitude shown, but he docs not do so when standing, The same may be said of the caribou. It is mani festly absurd to mount the head of any animal in any other position than that of rest, and taxidermists would do we'll to take due notice of the fact and govern themselves accordingly. = Forest and Stream.
