Ancient Artists.

Is 1t known generally that works Of
art were we'll paid for in ancient times'
A German review furnished recently
some particulars about that question.
Polygnote Of Thasos, who lived about
45O B. O., refused, it is true, any pay
ment for his works and declared that
he was sufficiently rewarded with the
title Of citizen Of Athens, which had
been conferred OH him. But such disin-
terestedness was seldom initiated. Thir-
ty years later the painter Zeuxis Of
Heracleum was called to the court Of
Archelaus /, king of Macedonia. He re-
ceived for his frescoes in tho palace Of
Pella 400 "mines. about %, 900. Nina
son Of Elathea paid $40, 900 for "Bat-
tie With the Persians," which he had
ordered from Aristides, the leader Of
the Theban school. Pamphilus of Syci-
one gave course Of lectures on painting

ceived 30 gold "talents, about $780,

IN A TURKISH HAREM.
There Are Women old md Young. Tail

and wrinisled.
An account of the visit paid TO the
zenana or harem of Mohammedan ma
wab in native state may not be with
ont interest.
A carriage and mounted escort of sol
diers were sent at o'clock one morning
to convey us TO the castle. A gate in
the immense walls of tho compound led
us into the i'll kept gardens Passing
from these into the courtyard and
through long colonnades and untidy pas
sages, we were conducted finally into
the zenana. A large and lofty room,
with walls on three sides and colon
made opening on to n courtyard was the
apartment in which we were received.
Chairs were brought for our accommoda-
tion, but with the exception of the mat
ting ON the floor the place was without
furniture
Women, some young and tall, others
old and wrinkled, passed and repassed
while we waited for the begun to ap-
pear. They were all dressed in the same
fashion. Trousers Of light colored dam
asks or satin clothed them from the
waist. These pentaloons were baggy
above, but so close fitting from the knee
downward that they have to be sewed up
after they are on. They are unsewed and
removed once week for the bath. A
short bodice, reaching just below the
breast, is worn, and then round the body
and over the shoulders and head is
wound the sari Of muslin or silk, which
falls in graceful folds from the hips and
shoulders The begun kept us waiting,
and we were told the reason was that
she was putting ON all her jewels TO do
us honor.
Presently she came ina small, young
woman, with an oval, immobile face
and smooth, black hair. She wore tight
trousers Of a rich green damask and
sari Of cloth Of gold. On her bare ankles
were anklets Of uncut emeralds and dia-
monds, said to be worth 10000 rupees.
On her arms were large number of
jeweled bangles and armlets, on her fin
gers rings Of beautiful rubies and dia-
monds. Round her neck were strings of
fine pearls, and, suspended by studs of
large diamonds in the outer rims of the
ears, she wore across the hair at the
back Of the head pearls, emeralds and
rubies, prettily set as kind of collar
cite. The ears were pierced in several
places to allow rings and jewels to be
inserted, and in the nose q small dia-
mond was worn. The little jeweled lady
did not speak English, and after we
had admired her jewelry conversation
soon came to an end
Her wee baby was brought in dressed
in colored silk, with gold laced cap on
its little bald head. The nawab Joined
us, and there was much lively chat over
the subject Of our visit to the state. In
such zenana the most rigorous seclu-
sion Of the wives is enforced-wives,
say, for in this zenana the begun was
the chief and the only wife and was
married the day after the death Of the
first begun. London Queen.

A City OF Champagne.

Epernay, France, is vast subterra-
mean "city of champagne. For miles
and miles there are streets hewn out Of
the solid chalk, flanked with piles of
champagne of all blends and qualities.
There is no light in this labyrinth Of
streets, crossings and turnings except
what the sputtering candles afford. All
is dark, dank and damp, with the tenn
perature away down about zero. The
largest champagne manufacturers in
Epernay have underground cellars which
cover 40 acres and contain 5000, 900
bottles Of wine. There is whole street

There Is one sin which IL seems to

looked in valuations Of character. 1t is
the sin Of fretting II is as common az

rises above its usual monotone we do
not even observe 1t. Watch any orlina-
ny coming together of people, and see
how many minutes IL will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes more or
less complaining statement or something
or other which probably every one in
the room, or in the car, or the street
corner, 1t may be. knew before, and
probably nobody can help. Why say
anything about iti II is cold, it is hot,
IL is wet. it is dry somebody has bro

stupidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted in discomfort There are plenty
Of things to fret about. II is simply as
tonishing how much annoyance may be
found in the course of every days liv-
ing, even at the simplest, if one only
keeps a sharp eye out on that side of
things. Even Holy Writ says we are
prone TO trouble as sparks fly upward.
But even to the sparks flying upward,
in the blacklist Of smoke, there is blue
sky above; and the less time they waste
ON the road the sooner they will reach
1t. FrettiDg is all time wasted on the

Absinth.

No intelligent person should have any
doubt about absinth being dangerous,
insidious and subtle liquor. Whatever
temporary service 1t may yield subject to
medical advice, the moment that neces-
sity ceases its further use is cruel viola
tion Of the laws of health and is not inapt
TO lead to the abandonment Of common
decency in appearance and department.
The practical and scientific conclusions
In regard to the use of absinth are
sumnxd up briefly In the statement
that The evil effects Of drinking alb.
sinth are very apparent. Frequent in.
toxication or moderate but steady tip
pling utterly dsranges the digestive sys.
TEN, weakens the frame, induces horri-
BILE dreams and hallucinations and may
end in paralysis or in idiocy."
Chambers says "Absinth is spirit
favored with the pounded leaves and
Towering tops Of certain species of ar
temisia, chiefly wormwood, together
with angelica root, sweet flag root, star
anise and other aromatics The aromat-
les are macerated for about eight days
in alcohol and then distilled, the result
being green colared liquor Adultera-
tion is largely practiced, usually with
the essential oils of others herbs, but
even blue vitriol is sometimes found in
so called absinth. Its effect upon either
man or woman not actively engaged in
manual work of some kind must be dan
gerous. 1t makes the brain dull and un-
reliable. Under its effects the merest
glimpses of mental sunshine are imme-
diately followed by prolonged periods of
detection. Sensible persons are safest If
they never touch absinth. ''-Brooklyn

An italian newspaper gives an ac-
count Of an amusing lawsuit which has
taken place lately in Russian city in
which German is the prevailing Ian
guage. One man sued another to recover
the sum Of 30 rubles, the debtor having
faithfully promised to return the money
ON st. Henry's day. But having failed
to do SO for q long time the lender dis
covered that the Russian Orthodox
church includes no such saint as st.
Henry, and the judge before whom the
case was tried was much puzEled as to
what verdict he should give. Happily
the idea occurred to him that, saint or
no saint, All Sa.ats' day included even
the most doubtful, so he gave Judgment
that the 30 rubles should be returned
next All Saints day.
