what led to the invention of the
"Trilby gown" because Venus did not
rise from the wave for the sole purpose
of doing credit to the dressmakers. and
she did have high stomach. Now it
is clear why Trilbys arms are hidden
in this drawing. as well as in the two
others-that on page 3Sl and that on
page S77.
II would be rather fine to follow, in
all its details. the modernization of
this heroic figure, this ideal of tender
dignity. this impersonation of woman

innocently love, at the same time. For
who should he excluded when supplica-
tions are to be brought to the queen of
love herself? 1t would be rather well
to fancy how the artist could see the
statuesquely smooth wavelines of the
goddess hair disordered and fallen
down her back, with a modern unre-

be fancy-stirring thing to picture the
absolutely sincere artist, sitting before

to bring her nearer to our own times
and affections, yet never forgetful of
the pure white marble figure, "a thing
to sober Silenus, and chasten Jove him

quoted are written concerning Trilby,

thought that Trilbys beauty was ideal,
that she surpassed all other models as
Calypso surpassed her nymphs.' And
the other ideal fgure-the Greek ideal
has never been more justly charac-

thought, all for his own delight, what
a superb untutored voice would issue
from such columnar throat if she
should speak, and how, if she should
sing to him, 1t would be an "apotheosis
OF voice and virtuosity, il bel canto'

haps, he feigned his Svengali, and let
him say:
"IIimmel. the roof of your mouth is
like the dome of the Pantheon-and in
side of your beautiful big chest the
lungs are made of leather! and your
breath, it embalms-like the breath of
a beautiful white heifer."
AS for Trilby's foot, that would seem
to be just the last effort land perhaps
the only adequate effort to restore the
lost foot of the Venus 1t is familiar
thought that the imagination, if put to
it, will create unattainable projections
in the unseen the unheard, things lost
beyond hope of recovery. AS Keats has
said:
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those
unheard are sweeter."

toyable, fascinating, but solemn with

light and frame of mind
March seldom spoke as we trudged
along through the darksome swamps
and pine wood lanes, but every sense
was on the alert and his dark face was
a study, a. the yellow glare of the
light wood torch he carried flickered
over it. His dog Gumfa was always
close within call unless there was
urgent work to do. The other dogs
scurried along on every side, barking

Trnket and June and the rest of the
dogs would raise such an overwhelming

that thky really might have found

Gumfa, jogging unconcernedly along,
and shake his head, but he would call
that sagacious animal to him. Come
here, come here he would say, and
then he would deliberately spit in the

"Some of March's moves and motions
appeared most eccentric to the uniniti-

for what he did, although they might
not be explained until the next day.

Genesis of the Lightning Rod.

The first lightning rod was not con-
structed by Franklin, nor set up in
America, but by monk at Seutten-
berg, Bohemia, named Prohop Dill
wisch. His apparatus was made and
put together during the spring and
summer of the year 1854, and was first
set up in the garden of the cure of
Prenditz (Moravia), on June Is of the
year above named. The rod attained
as much distinction as that later made
by Franklin, and was the cause of the
inventor being presented with much
money and large estates. His enemies
claimed that the rod was the cause of
the great drought of 1857, 1853 and
1853, and upon the matters being re-
ported to Vienna, it was ordered to be
taken down

Mrs. Maud Duke and Mrs. Cooperider
with their little ones went down to
Doughty's Springs for pleasant time
Saturday and Sunday, and to bathe in
the mineral springs. 1t is beautiful
place and there are several springs
gushing from the hillsides. Sulphur,
iron, soda and alum are the compositions
OF the different springs and if the rail
road ever comes booming up through
the North Fork country, our springs
will boom too.
Prosperity abounds throughout the
entire North Fork country. The beau
tiful fields Of grain and alfalfa, and the
heavily laden orchards OF fruit are sights
that greet our eyes. We are proud of
our valley and mesa's and in a few years
from now we will defy any Of our neigh
bors to compete with us for beauty of
country, or quality and quantity of fruit
and crops Of any and all kinds.
