Its Practice Essential to the Success OF
the student In Art.


the Student In Art.
Originality and skill in inventing or
telling story and in expressing the
passions depend, like everything else in
art, on a painters powers of observa-
ton, and the difference between the
greater or less painter results very much
from this-that the FIRST thinks of bis art
everywhere and at all times, the last in
his painting room only and at set hours.
Hogarth, describing his own habits,
says: BE where would while my eyes
We're open / was continually at my
studies and acquiring something useful
to my profession, and Stotbard E sketch
books were filed with groups OF figures
and scenery made without selection, bpt
merely of what chance offered to his no

which the windows Of an inn presented
while horses were changing, and some
times what he saw from the top Of
stagecoach.
Students should be assured that the

who adopt it will be sure to be reward
ed by often finding memoranda so made
of far greater interest than they had
imagined, and it will correct the habit,
always fatal to originality, of going to
nature for things only that resemble
what they have seen i'll art Among the
drawings by Raphael collected by Sir
Thomas Lawrence were many evidently
of what chance presented to him. One
in particular was singularly elegant, of
three or four young men i'll the dress Of
his time sitting at table, and their at
titudes but very slightly varied-an ac-
cidental group in all probability Of his
pupils.
In the works of Michael Angelo we
meet with very many attitudes that bear
the stamp Of being adopted almost i'm
mediately from nature, and indeed most
of the noble range of his prophets and
sibyls have this look. A subject happily
adopted from nature should not deprive
the painter of the credit due to inven-
ton, for indeed the mere faculty of in
venting an incident is far more common
than the nice and quick perception of
that in nature which is fitted to the pur-
poses of art, and which ordinary OBJ
servers would pass by or reject perhaps
as trifling Or unworthy. Burns turned
up a mouse with his pillow and was
heard to say by man who was at work
with him, I'll make that mouse i'm
mortal " And he kept his word. Lon

THE TROUT BROOK.

Half hidden by tall meadow grass that sways
with every breeze
And running through deep, silent pools and
under spreading trees;
Now stealing through the quiet ways Of soli-
tary wood,
And now beneath timbered arch where once
an old mill stood;
Across the fields and to tho brow where val
leys fall away,
Then over beds of shelving rock its waters
dance and play,
And now and then, as though in joy of such
delightful fun,
It springs into a waterfall that glistens in the
sun
And eddies round and round about in strange
fantastic gloe,
Then stoadies down and flows away sedately
to the sea.

man who has carved a niche for herself
in quite an unusual place. She is
"ooach" to the Wellesley boating crew.
She studies strokes" scientifically, and
it is confidently believed by enthusiastic
Wellesleyians that the Cornell crew
would have done well to study the art
of rowing under her. She was at Pough-
keepsie while the crews We're in train
ing there, and she also went to New
London to study her speciality. She

Apropos of woman g editions, here is
q pretty little story of Mrs. John G.

for the benefit Of charity. When the re-
quest was rendered the secretary's wife,
it was asked chat she should write upon

ject of finance with sufficient clearncss

with the cross were found. Some doubt
has existed as to relics bearing the cross

possession arctic from Nineveh clutched
from destruction by my own hand while
excavating a chamber in the southwest
angle Of northwest palace Of Nimrod,
one Of the most ancient OF Nineveh.
This relic cannot be less than 3, 900
years old. 1t has upon the upper surface
the Maltese cross and is surrounded by
buds of some flower. It is a lamp of
hard baked clay similar in material to
the cylinders wherein is recorded the
history Of the time. Its antiquity, how
ever, has been doubted because it bears
a cross. lean prove that the most ancient
relics found both at Nineveh and Baby

emblem Of the sun. 1t is seen IN the

BAALsEc's RUINS.
They Are the Grandest Monuments Of the
Past In the Orient.


Past In the Orient.
The ruins of Baalbec, the ancient
metropolis of Syria, especially those on
the "platform" where the temples stood,
are the grandest i'll the orient. The
platform referred to above and upon
which the largest Of the famous Baalbec
temples were erected is an artificial
mound about 80 feet higher than the
surrounding plain, which gave room for
immense vaults under the gigantic
structures which in ancient times graced
the wonderful city of the east. -
"a good idea Of the immensely Of
these ruined temples may be gained
when it is known that there are several
stones in what remains of their founda-
tions which are 60 feet long, 10 feet
wide and 10 feet thick, and what is
still more remarkable some Of these
giant blocks Of limestone were raised to
height Of 20 feet from the ground.
Three temples formerly stood upon the
artificial platform-the Temple Of the
Sun, the Temple of Jupiter and the
great circular temple. The first was 900
feet long by lG0 broad and was sur
rounded by Corinthian columns of gran
ito 70 feet high and z feet inches in
diameter. Six only Of these immense
columns now remain standing. The
ruins of the Temple Of Jupiter stand on
portion Of the artificial mound some
10 feet lower than that upon which
those Of the Temple of the Sun are now
scattered about. Its dimensions were
originally $50 by 1870. The circular
ruin, almost as imposing as either of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is supposed to have been the
chief seat of the sun worshipers of very
ancient times. The gigantic blocks of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines Of this once most
famous circular temple were so scatter
ed about by the earthquakes Of 1922, 975
and 1859 that its Dimensions in feet
cannot be accurately given. These three
temples and the platform upon which
they were erected We're once surrounded
by wall which was wonder within
itself, many Of the separate blocks which
formed it being 80 feet long, Is feet
wide and IL feet thick. ST. Louis Re

Our prayers have been answered ! The
heavy, widely distended skirts will very
soon be a thing Of the past. They are
an abomination and ought never to have
been allowed to become fashionable.
Why, it would take four hands to ma
nipulate the folds in such way as to
keep the skirt out of the dust, and when
a woman tries to accomplish the task
with two her gown in soon forgotten in
her cramped fingers and she gives it up
in despair How anything so totally I'M
fit to be worn i'll tile street ever became
a fashion is a mystery to every one, ex-
cept, perhaps, those who manufacture
the haircloth. But physicians have de-
nounced the heavy Innings as injurious
to health, and this, with the good sense
of long suffering and heroic women,
who have patiently tried to endure the
burden for fashions sake, has brought
about a decided reaction against them,
and the heavy skirt must go.-Philadel-

The States special correspon-
dent accompanying the Able
vile rifles, ordered to the scene
by Gov. Evans to suppress re
ported race riot, arrived at Mt
Carmel, a little town in Abbe>
vile, S. c., at 3 o'clock Friday
morning. The soldiers made
part of the journey on special
train and then took wagons for
ten miles. The town was quiet
when the troops arrived. The
trouble had been caused by the
killing of a negro who resisted
arrest by two white men. That
section being..thickly settled with
negroes, they became demon
strative, and made threats, but it
is not believed there was real
danger of a conflict. Upon ar
irving at Mt. Carmel the Sheriff,

were combined fun and fear The
two big elephants that led the
parade fell out over a peanut

each other trunpeting and
screaming. They beat each 9TH

noise of the contest was heard
squares away.

frenzied by the noise, added their
outcries and fought the bars of
their cages The elephant,

Diamond, and the noise and ex-
citement began intense. Patsy

feet away against box car, rem
dering him unconscious and
bruising him terribly. Kelley
was knocked down by Prince.

then called in to capture the two
rebels. They crowded upon
them, and after a terrible strug-
gle knocked the offenders down
and held them until they were
chained. They were punished
