Two Portraits.

Doubtless many of our readers
will remember the story of how Ho-
garth painted Fielding's portrait.
We are told that the painter tried in
vain to persuade tho author of '"rom
Jones" to sit for him, and that Ho-
garth was unable to paint the face
from memory. Mentioning this fact
one day to Garrick, the great actor
suddenly said, lis this like?" So
like to Fielding's was tho face which
Garrick made up that Hogarth seized
his pencil and drew the portrait of
tho novelist which he has given to-
posterity.
Now, the French have an anecdote
about the painting of the portrait of
Villele on all tours with the above.
Coulon, who united the Offices of
court jester and physician to Louis
XVIII, was famed for his powers of
mimicry. One day when Gros, the
artist, was complaining that no por-
trait existed which did Justice to
Villele Coulon answered, "None
shows the profound nobility Of his
character and his evanescent express
sion." While he spoke the words
seemed to come from Villele himself,
so like had the doctor grown to the
minister. Gros hastily sketched and
then painted Coulon's transformed
face, producing the best sketch of
the French statesman which, we be-
lieve, exists.-London Standard

COSTLY PATENTED ARTICLES.
Exorbltant Prices Charged For Utensils of
Very Simple Construction.

Exorbltant Prices Charged For Utensils of
Very Simple Construction.
A new article Of domestic hard
ware has been put ON the market
which is q staple in all families and
completes with a similar utensil
which is sold for Is and 20 cents.
The price of the new article Is 81.
Before 1t can be in demand and gen.
orally adopted to the displacement
of the old utensil a great deal of
work will have to be done, which is
very much hampered by the prohib-
itory price put upon the new goods.
The number Of persons who will be
willing to pay the price of four or
five Of the old style goods for one of
the new style will not be large, we
think, and wiser policy would have
fixed lower price.
This leads US to say that every
year there are large numbers of sim
liar articles put on the market which
would have a larger sale if they
were sold at mercantile prices. By
this we mean consideration of the
first cost Of the goods when ready
for delivery to jobbers, the jobber's
profit and the retailers as we'll add
ed, for these things are considered
by buyers, both wholesale and re-
tail, before there Is any demand for
the goods. Last week we went into
a store where filter was on sale.
Upon asking the price of one of half
a gallon capacity we were informed
that it was $50. twas plain cast
ing, with no fittings or fixtures, and
with some porous material inside Of
it of no particular money value. The
casting may have cost so cents, and
an outside figure for the cost of the
utensil would be 81, yet $50 was the
price to the buyer.
We demurred at the price and
gave the same reasons for so doing
that are given above, but the sellers
argument in favor of the high price
was that it would filter some fabu-
lous number of gallons of water per
day. This had no connection what
ever with the cost of the goods. A
frying pan will turn out 500 pounds
of cooked material day, and rs
cent faucet will permit thousands of
gallons of water to pass through it
daily. These are the functions Of
the articles sold. They arc expected
to be efficient, but there is no reason
in this fact for adding 1900 per cent
to the cost of them.
The fact that articles are patented
leads many persons to feel that the
public expect to pay stiff prices fol
such things, but we believe this tc
be erroneous. Nowadays those who
have money to spend consider prices
very carefully, and if they are un
reasonable they simply 60 without
the goods.-Engineer.
