SkETCHlNG.
Its Practice Essential to the Success of
the Student In Art.

the Student In Art.
Originality and skill in inventing or
telling a story and in expressing the
passions depend, like everything else in
art, on a painters powers of observa-
sion, and the difference between the
greater or less painter results very much
from this-that the first thinks of his art
everywhere and ut all times, the last i'll
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, land Stothard' s sketch
books Were filled with groups of figures
and scenery made without selection, but
merely of what chance offered to his no
tlce while travoling-sometilne objects
which the windows of an inn presented
while horses were changing, and some
times what he saw from the top of a
stagecoach.
Students should be assured that the
practice of redeeming spare moments of
time by sketching whatever is thrown
in their way is an invaluable one. Those
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 in art. Among the
drawings by Raphael collected by Sir
Thomas Lawrence were many evidently
of what chance presented to him. One
i'll particular was singularly elegant, of
three or four young men i'll the dress Of
his time sitting at a 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 inn
mcdiately 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 i'll nature which is fitted to the pur-
poses of art, and which ordinary OBJ
servers would pass by or reject perhaps
as tritling OF unworthy. Burns turned
up mouse with his plow 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.

Animals In Laibach's Earthquake.

An observer of animal life has col
lected (our Vienna correspondent says)
number of notes upon the behavior Of
animals during the earthquake at Lai-
bach. A railway guard observed that
some minutes before the first shock was
felt his owl, chained to Toulouse,
cried as if for help, and he was with it
when the earthquake began. Some for
est guards observed hares running, as If
for their lives, up hill before the first
shock, Partridges flew long distance.
A gentleman who spent the night of
Easter Sunday in carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on tower flying
round it every time that shock was
near. Sparrows and rcdbreasts also flut-
tered about and seemed to overcome
their fear of men. The most excited of
all We're the horses. They trembled long
before shock occurred, and some fell
on their knees and sides. The dogs
howled the whole night When shock
was near, their cries were so strange that
they struck the ear as something not
heard before. London News.

MARRIAGE IN KOREA.
Simple Ceremony, but With 1t Comes
the Dignity Cf Manhood.


Korean girls, according to Mr.. H. S.
SaundersOn, after enjoying freedom till
they are s ye;r.' Old, arc consigned to
the women ) quarters. Whero they live
i'll secluSiun til they are married at Is
or l years After marriage the woman
IS allowed to see no man bat Lcr huS-
band. The boys on tie other hand, are
taught that /; Is uud; SniGctl for them to
enter the Wumcn'S part of the house.
They never see their brides till the we'd
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
The marriage ceremony is very sim
pie. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them i'll dressing their hair in the man
ner betttiEg their new estate Then the
bridegroom mounts white pony, which
is led by two servants, while two others
on either sido support the rider in his
saddle Thus he proceeds to the bride S
house, accompanied by his relatives At
their destination they find pavilion
erected i'll the courtyard Of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival A goose (the
Korean symbol of fidclity), which the
bridegroom brings with him, is then
produced.
The bride, who has to cover her face
with her long sleeves, and the bride
groom then bow to each other until
their heads almost touch the ground.
This they do three OF four times and are
then man and wife. A loving cup is
passed round, and then the bride is
taken off to the women's apartments Of
her husbands home, where she is looked
after by her mother and mother in law,
while the groom entertains his friends.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect.
Marriage is the great event in Ko-
rean's life, for he then attains man s
estate. Before marriage, no matter how
old he may be, he is treated as boy,
and has to maintain deferential atti-
tude toward the married men, even
though they be only half his age e-Pop-

The Widely Distcnded Skirt.

heavy, widely distended skirts will very
soon be a thing of the past They arc
an abomination and ought never to have

DO FISHES TALk7
Here Is Testimony From n Man Who
Thinks They DO.

We have heard of the language of
monkeys, and of the language Of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
of ants, but it will be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
q language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr.. Basil Field, has been
making some Investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr., Field carried on his experiments
i'll the tishponds of Mr. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full
of trout, which, at the time when Mr.
Field first visited them, We're so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw a baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight--a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put i'll a freshly baitcd hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these be caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
trout in this pond
However, by experimenting in anoth-
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait
If, Mr. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called % language. "-Fortnightly Re-

BAALBEC'S RUINS.
They Are the Grandest Monuments of The
Past In the Orient.

The rains 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 "wondcrful city of the east. ~
IA good idea of the immensity of
these ruined temples may be gained
when it is known that there are several
stones i'll what remains of their founda-
tions which are 60 feet long, 10 feet
wide and l3 feet thick, and what is
still more remarkable some of these
giant blocks Of limestone We're raised to
u 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 800
feet long by 1G0 broad and was sur
rounded by Corinthian columns of gran
ite rs feet high and feet 3 inches in
diameter. Six only of these immense
columns now remain standing. The
ruins of the Temple Of Jupiter stand on
n 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 230 by 1870. The circular
ruin, almost us imposing as either of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is supposed to have been the
chief seat of tie sun wOrshipers of very
ancient times. TIE gigantic blocks of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines Of this once most
famous circular temple wcro so scatter
ed about by the earthquakes of S22, 915
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 u wonder within
itself, many of the separate blocks which
formed it being 30 feet long, 10 feet
wide and II feet thick. st. Louis Re
