The original Ecefs,eas club Of this city
was formed more than 100 years ago and
when there Were only Estates in the Union
1t was composed Of - members, each rep
rcsenting particular state. Nomore than
u ever belonged to it ct any one time, and
there is still pretense Of keeping up the
old org citation at the place Of its birth, il
tine old fashionA hostelry of Miller to the
third generation, at the corner Of Madison
and Monroe streets, where the club and its
guests sit in the common wooden armchairs,
with towels spread over their laps, watch
ing the cooking OF steaks sad chops in the
most primitive style on a big gridiron thrust
upon the live Goals in an old fashioned
square cast iron weed stove.
The steaks and chops are trimmed down
as fine Us the butchers art will admit, cut
in small strips, soaked in melted butter
which also saturates the toasted bread
upon which they are served to the expectant
and hungry throng, who must eat these
delicious morsels without knife or fork,
but float them down with good liquor.
The Tenderloin club is supposed to be some
thing OF the same kind and is presided
over by John W. Keller, who is also the
president Of the Press club. But no ordinary
beefsteaf is good enough for the Tender
loiner.-New York Times.

A cows age is indicated by her horns.
At the age OF 2 a ring Of thick material
forms at the base of each horn, and one
ring is added every year after this becomeS
apparent. To find the age, therefore, count
the rings and add two. In the case of n
bull, however, the first ring does not ap
pear until he Is years old, and one annual
ring appears after that, SO to the number
OF rlngs on a bulls horns five must be
aided The result attained Is, however,
only approximately correct. for not only ia
the time OF appearance Of the first ring un.
certain, but occasionally two rings aprear
in one year. and then again sometimes a
year Is omitted. no ring being formed. A
dishonest dealer can also change the appar
ent age of the animal by fling of some Of
the rings from her horns, so that complete
reliance on this sign in sometimes very de.

LAbOrer's Cork NIodelS

James Anderton, an agricultural laborer.
IN early life earned the sobriquet of Cranky
Jimmy from the fact that he devoted 10
years to the construction Of an exact model
Of Lincoln cathedral in corks, of which
more than ,o00, 600 were used. Anderton
used to engage in his self imposed task
after he had finished his days work in
the fields, and walked almost daily three
miles to the cathedral in order to perfect
himself in the details of the edifice. picking
up eorhs wherever he could find them.
In time corsis were supplied him in abun-
dance. and by dint of enormous patience he
was enabled to accomplish his work An
derton also worked similar model Of
SCOTS monument, which was deemed
worthy of place in the exhibition Of 1852
London Tit-Eits.

spent nine months in work and study
Paris has long been considered the one
place ON earth where an artist could nnd
exactly what no needed and desired. but
Mr. Gibson declares that In ono respect at
least Paris disappointed him-the models
to be bad there were no better than those
Of New York.
America, the artist believes, has u great
or variety Of types than any other coun-
try, despite the fact that the women OF all
nations arc niore generally represented In
Paris than In any other city OF the slobe.
Mr.. Gibson Is an ardent champion OF
American beauty, and after his long So
journ In Paris Is well content to utilize
native types for his future WORK In Paris,
however, the people are nearer to art than
they are In America, and for that reason
models in all walks of life are much easier
to procure. The proposition To pose Is
80 familiar to Parisians that IL does not
startle them. and money or vanity will In
duce almost any one In tho great French
metropolis to pose for such pictures as
Mr.. Gibson creates. During his stay there
two famous French actresses, Rachel Boy
er and the great Reiane, gave him sittings
Tho results were quite satisfactory, but
Mr.. Gibson came to tho conclusion that
Actresses are DOT good models for the rea-
son that go.,d model must be perfectly
natural and lick self consciousness.
As an actress entire training IA AN e.
fort to represent what she Is not, she Is
quite naturally anything but herself when
posing for q picture. Mr.. Gibson surpris
ell the Paris models more than they sur
priscd him. They invariably came pre-
pared To pose for nudes and were astound
Ell To learn that they were to sit with their
clothing on. One Of Mr. Gibson's most
useful models Is Miss Minnie Clark,
New York girl, whose graceful figure and
refined, beautiful face have Appeared In
many of the artist pictures
Mr.. Gibson, who has been called the
American Du Maurier-although Du Mau
rier's women are wooden beside tho tl,sh
and blood creations OF G1bson--was born
in Roxbury, Mass. He Is tall and athletic
and never talks shop unless asked to do
