rately decorated with bunting and flowers,
lanterns hung and the host and hostess,
with their guests, for the benefit of a goodly
contingent Of young people from a nearby
farmhouse, danced the fashionable So
ciety steps to the wailing of guitar and
violin. The next night the entire canal
boats company adjourned to a farmhouse
and had a Jolly supper OF lemonade, pies,
cold chicken and apple sauce, washed down
with cider, after footing IL In the old-fash-
ioned quadrille and Lady Washington's
reel. Almost fearful were the regrets ex-
pressed when the delightful vacation was
over, and the Drowned, well-entertained
young people exchanged the exceeding COM
fort OF their bicycle suits for conventional
clothing, and the lazy, wholesome, varied
existence of the canal boat life for the re-
straint and monotOny of their city homes.
To the hosts fell the log book full of pho
tographs of the lovely country they had
passed through, OF their guests, the friends
they had made along the way and OF the
boat itself. On their return the boat was
dismantled, but all the lumber used in build
ing the kitchen and house, along with the
fittings and furnishings, were stored against
resurrection next year. Then another boat
will be undoubtedly hired, another canal
explored, and there will be no difficulty
in collecting party of guests, for the canal
boat enterprise promises to become the feat
ure of autumn hospitality, and one hears
already of clubs on foot for hiring, fitting
and floating them among people ambitious
TO experience a new and profitable form Of
entertainment.

crafts for the space of three weeks, and,
at the building yards, labored to convert
their rented vessel Into accommodations
for passengers instead of freight.
Their more serious effort and bulk of
pocket money was spent In fitting the
central hall as sale a manger. and drawing
room in one. The divan seats they uphol-
stored in green denim, large green and
white jute square was spread on the floor,
dotted green and white scrlm curtains
hung at the windows, one of the cupboards
filled with the cheapest blue and white
china, the other stocked to bursting with
novels.
STOCK AND SERVANTS.
Like Noah, they had chosen two of every
kind of fruits, jellies, confections, meats
and cheeses, along with soap, matches, can
dies and such like which they had laid in
a full supply, and lastly engaged two capa-
bic, good-natured women to sign articles
for service as cook and housemaid on q
voyage OF twenty-one days up the Della
ware and Hudson canal.
All luggage had been unpacked into
lockers and bags laid away in the store
room below decks, while six safety bicy-
cles, of both sexes, lying in their trunks
on the afterdeck, were mute witnesses to
the assertion of the host that a god deal
of muscular sport would make up the pro-
Crane of every day.
Now what these healthy young people
did during the three weeks they were off
on their inland voyage is variously de-
scribed in an ascending scale of enthusi-
asm.
There was one day spent, pinned into
overalls of kitchen towels, painting the
house ouside, and decorating every one
his or her bedroom after individual and
peculiar taste.
Every day they were towed a greater
or less distance along the placid canal
waters, amid charming scenery, ripening
under an autumn sun, but directly unani-
nous desire prevailed the boat was tied
up, wheels, cameras, ETC., produced and
expeditions organized. II there was no

CLUMSINESS AND COMFORT ON
A THREE WEEKS TOUR.
Sailing, Fishing, Camping Out
and Ali Sorts of Innocent
Fun of a Merry Group.

There are more ways of finding amuse-
ment In September than by camping out.
That Is the promising assurance of q
young woman and her brother, who have
just come back from entertaining them
selves and a party of friends on a canal
boat The first precaution is to select
congenial party of picked masculine and
feminine friends, not exceeding six in
number, and engage them against the
ripenlng of the first harvest moon. 1t must
be explained to them that such luggage and
costumes as are suitable for Adirondacks
or North Woods camping, along with
bicycle suits, guns, and fishing tackle, Is
the equipment necessary.
The brother and sister who had selected
and instructed their future guests, went
next to one of the yards, near New York

use on the Erie and Delaware and Hudson

the Baltimore Sun. No man OF refined
taste will smoke q bad cigar. The philo
sophie smoker takes his comfort in lets
urely way amid proper surroundings and
is able to shut himself out from the world
and all Its, petty annoyances as he follows
the curling wreath into the dreamland OF
reverie.
The man who allows his cigar to go out
greatmaDy y times a nd relghts il insuccessive
spasms of fidgetipess may be usually set
down as an1ncoherentcharacter quite prone
to get off his trolley, 30 60 speak, and cer-
tainly lacking in tenacity of purpose. The
man who fumbles his cigar good dealand
manages to get the wrapper unravcled and
the fire all on one side may be dismissed as
q nervous person with a proclivity for un-
comfortablepess. Men who chew heir
cigars, leaving their teeth prints on them,
and do this for long time before lighting
them, are quite likely to be stern, deter
mined men, fall of grit and resolution. Gen.
Grant used to handle cigar in that way and
Bismarck is said to do likewise.
As an index of generosity or mcanness of
soul the cigar is quite trustworthy. The
generous man, If he smokes at all, is sure
to indulge himself and his friends when
they call on him with q good cigar. The
man who, with abundant means tosmokethe
best, deliberately buys the worst cigaB
and pretends to enjoy them, is capable of
almost any conceivable meanness. Per
contra, the man who can find solace and
refreshment from a cigar of good quality
or pipe filled with choice tobacco and who
is always ready to open his heart wide
and let his tongue wag the most merrily
when he takes his friend into the hos
pitalities of a mutual smoke talk is pretty
sure to be one whose instincts and impulses
are in the main honest, genial and right.

DANGER IN THE USE OF SLANG

Experienced in Brooklyn Shows Periiin
the Word Rats"
A new illustration of the dangerous
confusion that often is created by the
prevalence of slang is furnished, says the
Brooklyn Times, by the following Incl
dent:
A professional rst-catcher went to .
fashionable club on Tuesday evening and
at midnight he had bagged fifty rats.
With the fifty living rats In bag-for this
professional scorus to XII any rats on the
premises-he left the fashionable club and
started home. Then appeared an un-
known policeman. who said
where are you going?"
''None of your business" answ cred the
rat-catcher.
$50 that's your swag," said the police
man, sarcastically tapping the bag with
his club.
Mary swag," said tue rat-catcher.
"What have you in the bag, them"
Here we come to the first crisis of the
story, for the reply was Rats" The
policeman then punched the professional
for what he, perhaps reasonably, regarded
as his impertinence. Moreover he grabbed
the bag and thrust in his inQuiring Off
cial hand. Here comes the second crisis
Of the story, for at least seven rats grabbed
that hand. The policeman yelled and
shook off the rats, and the other forty three
ieaping from tue bag the street was soon
full OF rats. The poor policeman, with rats
TO the right of him and rats to the left of
him and rats in an indefinite vista before
and behind him, fled Into the night
This is not the first time that slang has
Indirectly created confusion In the world.
The rat-catoher had no-suspicion that the
policeman would take his expla nation
emiss. There is the trouble. The slang
that creates disaster is generally used
unwittiugly. May tue present picturesque
warning be needed.

One by one our artists are shouldering
their stools and easels and returning to
the city, after spending the summer in
Natures studio, where they were furnished
ample material for the winters work.
What delightful holiday they have had,
roaming through the woods and mountains,
and along the streams, catching bit OF
sunlight here, q shadow there-perhaps the
pretty face of summer girl, and little
romance, framing it forever in their mem-
ory, all that the purchaser of the canvas
will never suspect. Some of them will re-
main longer away to study the September
haze and the beautiful autumn tints of
October. Those who have come in to finish
some of the summer work or execute new
orders, may go out again, for it is hard to
tear ones self away, if he be a true artist
However, art is not all made up of beau
tiful dreams and summer romances and
fair skies.
1t means hard work and long study and
dishearteDing criticisms. with O little praise
now and then that makes the brush go
more happily.
So our artists will now-settle down to
work for the winter, and before another
season rolls around lovers of beautiful
creations OF the brush and palette may ex-
pect to see marked progress in the field
OF art, of which Americas Capital may
well be proud.

The day class this year will be very full,
numbering about 200 students.

Among our well known local illustrators
who have been very busy this summer, is
Mr.. Harry Bonnell Bradford, who has s.,
interesting and well-stocked den at No.
S04 II street Mr.. Bradford is a close
student and hard worker, and thoroughly
earn the progress he is making. Lately he
has turned his attention to comic Illus
tration, with marked success, having had
a number of his drawings accepted by
several New York publications, and has
been highly compiimented by the art editor
of the Century.
Mr.. J. L. Ridgway and Mr.. n. Hobart
Nichols have just finished a series Of
Illustrations for a work soon to be pub
ilshed by the Geological Survey in the
Monograph. Mr. Ridgway has done some
of the most wonderful fossil work in
color, representing the different geological
formations and strata, as they appear In q
polished surface, and with such accuracy
Of detail that one thinks he is actually
looking at the specimens rather than the
picture.
A number of very fine pen and ink
sketches of fossils and shells are also the
work of Mr.. Ridgway.
Mr.. Nichols furnishes the landscapes for
this publication, which offers a large
field for the artists brush. All who are
familiar with his success in this line, Will
recall with pleasure his exhibition of laud-
scapes at the Cosmos Club last spring.

Inasmuch as the development of art In
Washington depends upon closer rela-
tionship between the artist and purchaser,
It would seem that the duty of bringing
about that end devolves largely upon the
former. If the artist wishes to succeed
he must keep himself in the public eye, as
1t were. The purchaser viii not burt the
artist, the artist must hurt the purclas-
er.
He must have q suitable hall for the ex-
hibition of his work, which the public can
visit conveniently and compare and criti-
else the character and merits of the pic
lures offered for sale.
The only opportunity the Washington
artist has at present of coming In touch
with the customer is through the annual
Cosmos Club exhibitions in the spring
which the members of that club so kindly
open TO the society of Washington artists
and their friends Through these exhibi-
tions, which last only few days, few
Eales are made, and then the artist must
return to tile back ground for another year.
No city in America has a greater number
of tourists and sightseers than Washing
ton, and If we had an established gallery
or picture market which would attract
them there would, no doubt, be many more
sales made than at present, and the pur
ohascrs would carry our artists fame
into other fields.
No hall in the city suggests itself as suit
able for this purpose, except the soon to-be-
vacated Corcoran Art Gallery. Owing TO
some delay, through changes, the new
gallery may not be ready for occupancy
for another year, but this suggestion,
however may furnish food for thought
that may be productive Of substantial re-
suits.
The removal of. the Corcoran collection
to the new building at New York avenue
and Seventeenth street leaves a most ex-
cellcnt studio and exhibition building,
which the Society of Washington Artists
should consider as rare opportunity for
them, and not allow this historic old place
