| G. c. Mcbride, Of Little Elk, re-
ceived a carload of -four from H. F.
Fischer's. mill last week. Mac is
alive to the business interests OF
this place and is doing well in his
mercantile business.
John Hewitt received letter
from his brother, VIM. Hewitt, OF
Whatcom, Washington, stating
that be had sold out his interest in
the Wbatcom Lake saw mill, and
that ne aud several others were
coming to Lincoln county to inves-
tigate the reported undeveloped re-

OF building up lumber industry.
Chittim pealingis is becoming quite
a business. c. c. Mcbride is max
ing large shipments on each steam
er. He pays . cents per pound,
and realizes from 21a to 81 cents
for it in San Francisco.
John Hewitt has leased section
of railroad land from the land COM
pany's agent in Portland and will
use it mostly for pasture, He has
posted notices forbidding trespass-
ing thereon. This has caused some
of the chittim peelers to be iudig-
nant and are making serious threats
but John says he does not fear any
bodily harm, as it will require a
foot-racer to catch him to infict any
very serious damage. Never-the-
less he says the law governing tres
passing will be enforced unless dep
relations are discontinued.
Mr.. E. D. Young has purchased
quite a number of hogs and expects
to make hog-raising the most i'm
portant part of his business in the

NITDE sKETcHEs REMOVED.

The removal of some of the nude
male pictures which have formed a
part of the collection of the art school
ofthe Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences, on exhibition for the past
week in the art rooms of the Academy
of Music, has caused futter among
the instructors and pupils. The ex-
bibits of the life class of the school,
numbering over fifty, have been plac-
ed in q small room off the main gal
lery. The male sketches and the fe-
male sketches were pronounced IN
number until two days ago, when nall
a dozen of the former, which were con-
demned as being too pronounced, were
removed. Col. Harry Z. Chapman,
ir., the chairman of the exhibit COM
mittee, is responsible for the censor
ship which led to the disappearance
of the pictures.
Prof. Franklin W. Hooper said :
"The removal of these pictures should
not be consideted as 8 reflection upon
the artistic merit of the works. Some
friends of Col. Chapman told him that
certain pictures could be removed
without detracting from the value OF
the exhibition. The colonel agreed
with them and requested their re-
moval. Mr.. Joseph ID. Boston
who has charge of the life class Tor men,
though the pictures were entirely u1-
objectionable, but as Col. Chapman's
oninion was sufficient they had to come
down. There was no particular reason,
in the first place, for hanging the pic
lures, nor, to my mind, any particular
reason for removing them. They were
lust what is shown in every art exhlbl'
ton in the country"
Mr.. Boston said "The pictures Oh
gafs wGoss S 1sud drawings S 81 the IN ma.e
thing quite out of the ordinary for male
models to wear drapery of any kind il
posing before a mans life class. A
male model before class of wo'
men is generally draped, but nowhere
is this customary before mans class.
The production Of these drawings is 8
regular part of our work, and in select
ing the specimens that | did for exhibit
ton, had no other thought than their
merit as artistic productions. In de-
ference to those who might wish to
visit our exhibition without wishing to
see nude figures or life drawings, all
the work of this class was grouped in
a separate room adjoining the main
gallery. They were thus placed apart
from the main exhibition, and it was
not necessary for any one to view them
who did not wish to do SO. Similar
figures are seen at all art exhibitions"
No objection was made to any of the
female subjects.

A Double Row Of Japanese Duddhas
Which Cannot De Counted.
Close to this interesting pool is the
avenue Of images, representing tho
Amida Buddha. The idols vary in size,
but are similar in design. There are sew
eral hundred Of them altogether, and
they sit facing one another in two long
rows. We asked the little Jap who
brought us to the place how many Of
them there were. In an awed whisper
he replied, Nobody knows" Then he
told us how impossible it was to count
them. Each image was made unsightly
by having numbers Of little bits Of paper
stuck OH to it and chewed bits Of paper
which had been spat at it. The object of
this disfguration we failed to discover,
though our friend HOBO informed us they
were put on by the young priests, part
Of whose novitiate it was to attempt to
count the Buddhas.
There is evidently something wrong
with these idols, for no one has ever
been able to reckon them up the same
twice over, in spite Of sticking piece
of paper to tick each one off. OF course
two interpretations Englishmen were
not to be humbugged by native stories,
SO M. (my travelling companion) and !,
thinking the whole thing ridiculous, de-
cided to count the mysterious images.
We started on cooperative lines, each
taking side Of the avenue. Our efforts,
however, were fruitless, for we had not
numbered off more than dozen each,
before NJ. (whose eyes were not SO good
as they had once been) shouted across to
mo: II say, saw one Of them on your
side moving I'm certain Ibid. They're
uncanny. Let's give it up" This inter-
ruption Of course upset all my calcula-
lions, but we soon came on the moving
image, which turned out to be nothing
more than one of the old Frenchmen,
seated peacefully among the statues and
looking in his white clothes for all the
world like jolly, fat, old Buddha.-
