On the afternoon OF July 6 we took

cocks, COWS and windmills. Amsterdam
is built on ninety islands connected with
two hundred and fifty bridges and has a
population OF about 322,UUO. Inc city Is
in general more modern than ROtter

objective point here is the Rijks museum.
This is magnificent building and con-
tains a collection Of upward Of thous-
and pictures, with many masterpieces.
The principal painting Of note is the
Night Watch. by Rembrandt, which is
regarded as one of the finest specimens
of bold and effective chiaroscuro ever
painted. 1t has always been an object
of enthusiastic admiration. We see
also the Banquet Of the Guard, by Van

We leave behind quaint Amsterdam

sea. 1t was the leading commercial
city of Europe, having thousand bust

have since broken its line OF progress.
In art Antwerp is second only to Flor

The Royal Museum of the Hague,
Holland. contains several paintings
which have been said to be pretty good
and which have given the artist more or
less fame. The name OF Rembrandt
van Ryn is a household word among
painters. He is considered, by those
who pretend to know, one Of the masters.
For your enlightenment l will add
that the masters are twelve in number
and all men. but now dead. They are a
class by themselves, with some doubt
expressed as to who stands at the head.
But we won't argue that question.
Rembrandt van Ryn was born,
which is the first we know OF him, in
1907 at Leyden, Holland. Like all great
men he was reared in humble surround
ings. and like our own Garfield, worked
on a canal boat. / take this for granted
as Holland is full OF canals. It's a nat

twenty-five. showing he had capacity to

of distinguished personages.
He discarded all themes Of : mytho-
logical and religious character and dove
into the question Of actual life. Conse-
quently we see in all his paintings little
Of poetry. He was strictly material
istic. His works number over 600 and
command a very high price. which you
can easily find out by attempting to buy
one.
I will quote what Mr.. Lubke says Of
his works:
His pictures carry one completely away
with their weird charm and mysterious
poetic force. There is, however, no
trace OF the ideal sense of form that
marks the Italians, but rather an art
full of intrinsic truth; masterful strength
and skill, compensating one for the lack
of beauty by sharply defined character
ization, life like individuality. warmth
Of sentiment and picturesque charm"
as you like. My only criticism here
would be that he neglected to state the
means by which Rembrandt produced.
the SHARPLY defined characterization"
viz: very strong contrast between
his yellow and black paint. He had
very forcible way of combining these
two colors SO that his figures stood out
decidedly on the canvass. And another
feature which Mr.. Lubke omits to men
ton is the amount Of paint, especially
a very black black and strong subdued
yellow. which is found in all his pictures.
These points to which / have called
your attention are prominent features
in al the Dutch artists. Take the por-
traits painted by Anthony van Dyck
for instance. Is there not strong re-
semblance in them to the paintings of
Rembrandt? Also compare with the
clever and unequalled candle and Ian
tern scenes by Gerard Dow, whose
works show a most remarkable manage
ment of light and shadows. BOWS
paintings are little gems. And as

sometimes called. DR.. Spahr, Of our
city, has copy Of it in his office, if
your curiosity is aroused to see what it
is like The original by Rembrandt is
rather the best of the two. but the Dr.'s
picture will give you good idea as to
outline, composition and the subject.
For those who have never even seen a
copy of this celebrated picture, l will
say it is of man on a table in recum

around him are eight doctors, one of
whom is telling the others all about it.
He holds in his hand a scalpel or knife
with which he is about to cut the tissues
OF the cadaver before him. The back

Such subject as this is not, in the
abstract. beautiful one, but rather
materialistic, which as have said, is
one OF Rembrandt's characteristics.

Women and Criminals.

1t is generally held that the exclu-
sion of any large class of male citizens
from suffrage without good reason
is an injustice. The injustice is more
marked when persons far less qualified
are freely admitted to the ballot-box.
1t is only in the case of women that
we are. assured no element of Justice
can possibly be involved. The differ
ence in the standard applied to men
and women In this matter was anus
ingly illustrated in the Massachusetts
Legislature few years ago. In the
debate on women suffrage, it was as
serted, as usual, that suffrage was not
and could not be a right of anybody /;
that it was matter wholly of exped-
iency, and that no one should be per-
mitted to vote except those whose bal
lots would benefit the State Soon
after, measure came up which pro-
posed that men convicted of Infamous
crimes should be disfranchised for a
term of years. Then it was rich, and
to the women a little exasperating, to
hear the same members who had de-
clared that suffrage could not be a
right of anybody, wax eloquent against
this attempt to tamper with the
'srights" of men convicted of infam-

and line growing weeks. Grain, grass.
fruit and vegetables all progressed
favorably. During the next week there
was severe frost in the Eastern Sec
tlon, and a light one in the Western
section. Considerable fruit was des-
troyed, and there was much damage to
winter and spring wheat by the late
frost IN May. The last two weeks of
May were warm and favorable, and
followed by needed showers, causing
much grain to germinate that other
wise would not have done so.
Throughout June dry spell with
parching winds prevailed in the E asst
ern section, which was unfayorable to
grain. In the West there were a few
gentle showers, and it was fine having
weather. The drought was broken on
July 4th and 9th by heavy general
rain storm. Fine haying weather fol-
lowed IN the Western section, which
was also favorable to the oat crop in
the Skagit river country, but IA drought
begun which was general over Wash
lngton until the first week in Septem-
per, ana which was considered
unfavorable to grain in Eastern Wash
lngton, and to vegetables in the West
ern part. The weather in the harvest
season was very favorable for the pur-
pose, though the very dense smoke
that prevailed was somewhat disa-
greeable.
Showers occurred during the middle
weeks of September, and a warm,
sunny period at its close. Though
dry September, the soil was left III good
condition cor fall plowing. The
drought of July and August is regard
ed as one of the most severe and
prolonged that ever occurred in
Washington.
