1t is Very Rare to Find a Face That
is Symmetrical.
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
Mr.. Phil Morris experiences have led
him to the conclusion that symmetrical
faces are very few and far between. The
sides Of the average face, he declares,
are unequal, and one eye frequently goes
up while the other is half closed. often
the nose is not straight, and many people
have a habit Of looking as if they were
asleep. The distinguished Royal Acad-
envy associate has been giving some ac-
count of the troubles and Vexations which
come of portrait painting. There is
touch of disappointment, he says, when
folk see their own portraits or those Of
their friends on canvas for the first
time. once he was engaged in paint
ing lady who had just become a grand
mother, and he had treated very deli
cately the ravages which time had made.
The ladys husband brought him another
portrait, which had been painted twenty
i've years before, and having expressed
some slight surprise at the new picture,
pointed to the old one, and said, That
was how he saw his wife" Nearly all
ladies' declare they don't want TO be fat
tered, but the artist who takes them
According 70 Mr.. Morris, artists who
devote themselves to portrait painting
are Influenced not by mere vision, but by
a certain preconceived idea as to how
they may treat a face The late Mr..
Frank HOl, he says, had a bOOk-Lav
ater'S 'PhysiOgnOmy containing pic
lures of human types like hawks foxes,
and other creatures, and when he was
about to paint a portrait he used to try
TO find out which one of these animals
or birds the sitter most resembled. For
instance he would enlarge the ears of
a fox hunter, and, by accentuating the
features, paint q most remarkable like
ness. 1t is advisable, in Mr. Morris opin-
ion, to let a sitter watch the progress
Of his portraft If this is done the art
list can tell by the look of disappointment
on the sitters face when, in his estima-
ton there is anything wrong. Moreover,
task Of sitting. II appears that one OF
the reasons rhe queen allows herself TO
be painted so often by Herr Angel IS
that she can see the work IN progress.
Some artists. unlike the Austrian painter.
are martyrs TO nervousness, and decline
10 allow the sitter to see the portrait
before It is completed.

But limited suffrage has its drawbacks.
In the summer of 1895, while / was in
Japan, there was an election for members
OF the Toxic city assembly. In the Hongo
ward there We're but three qualified vot-
ers besides the rival candidates, Messrs.
tlemen was confident of one vote and the
result depended upon the ballot of the
Marquis Asono, who happened to be alb
sent from the city. Both candidates
made every possible effort to cast his ball
lot, but he was detained away and the
election, being a tie, was declared null
and void The candidates each received
cast for themselves. A new election was
to be called as soon as the Marquis Asono
returned TO the city and was willing to
exercise his constitutional privilege.

A property qualification being necessary
for suffrage, the volume OF ballots cast is
comparatively small, but the inabinty 80

der to vote in Japan a man must pay at

his receipts at the polling places. They
have no ballots, like ours, but register,
which makes the election absolutely ac-

When a voter comes TO the polls he IS
handed long sheet of paper upon which
he writes his own name, his residence,
his occupation, the number Of his tax re-
ceipt and other statistical information,
with the names Of his candidates, so that
his vote stands in his own handwriting,

SOMETHING RARE IN EPITAPHs.
Curious Verses Found During Visits
to Country Cemeteries.


From the New York Herald.
Here are some epitaphs brought back
10 town by a summer tourist. The first
three were found in Clarksville, n. Y.
Mr.. Henry Cay had three wives-sop-
hronia, Emeline and Jane. Sophronia
died Nov. 5, 1890. Her epitaph reads:
Don't mourn for me; the die is cast.
Or life is like a fading rose.
Prepare for death and follow me,
And in your Savior take repose.
Emeline died Nov. 30. 1892 Upon her
tombstone was this verse:
Submissive TO a stern decree,
come. Sophronia, after thee;
To mingle dust, and join thy spirit
In that blest world that saints inherit.
May Henry and our progeny
Join US in blest eternity.
Jane joined the others on Sept. II, 1896:
The bonds of earth arc severed;
Thou art numbered with the blest;
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest.

Relief Badly Needed By the New
foundland People.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Feb. 21.-The
restitution arising from the finan-
cial crisis is increasing. In this
city between 5000 and 1000 persons
are regularly receiving relief. The
funds for this purpose are becom
ing low and there is yet another
month of hardship before the suf-
fering can end. The government
has heretofore been contributing
$1,000 for the benefit of the poor
but this has been withdrawn. This
money was given to the clerical
fund. The government intimates
it's intention Of starting relief
works. The opposition press &C
cuses the government of cutting
off its contributions to the relief
fund in order to devote the $ 900
weekly to the fund to be used in
the elections which occur within a
few weeks.
