FRENCH OR ENGLISH LANDSCAPE

In France, English painters have,
broadly speaking. learned their bust
ness; they have imbibed Gallo preju-
dices, and learned TO treat nature in
the manner of French artists, and
dwell upon the peculiarities which
those artists have developed from the
study of a country which is essentially
different in color, atmosphere and sig
nificance from our own. And then they
have returned to England and, settling
at Newlyn or elsewhere, have en-
Geavored to see England through
French spectacles, and have produced
such a queer, hybrid hotch-potch of the
two countries as never yet mortal man
rejoiced in.
All this, am sorry to say. has been
hailed with the utmost journalistic en-
thusiasm. It was novel, it was foreign,
it was enlightened; it was. in fact,
everything which a writer, properly
Disguised with his country, and prop
erly regardless of the traditions Of his
country's art, would most admire. And
I concess that absolute success seems
at the present moment to have atten-
ded the propaganda. 1 walked through
the Royal academy with tolera Bile
care twice last week and, though l

fine and interesting, I hardly saw one

THE POETS AND sUNsHINE.

One might fancy there to be some
natural affinity between genius and
the sun, seeing that so many gifted
ones are attracted in such a peculiar
manner to the source of light and heat.
Shelley loved to expose his small
round head to it's intensest ardor, and
indited many of his burning strains
on the roof of his house, near Leghorn,
unscreened from the pelting rays of
an Italian sun-that sun from whose
supposed malign influence even the ma
tives shrink. Byron, whose early home
was in the bleak north of Scotland,
was no less of sun worShipper. Il
am always most religious upon a sun
shiny day" he writes, ''as if there
was some association between an in
ternaI approach to greater light and
purity and the kinder of this dark
lantern of our external existence" And
elsewhere he declares that he could
bear cold no better than an antelope,
and never yet found a sun quite done
to his taste" in full accord with Cole
ridges saying, uttered, however, in a
symbolical sense, that the poets soul
appears to crave for the sunshine
1t is as by some passionate impulse
of affection that our men of genius
are attracted toward the sunny south.
many of them being apparently more
at home beneath the clear blue skies of
Italy or Spain than under their native
clouds. Venice has won a lustre the
more from the devotion of Robert
Browning. while the memory of his
wife has shed an added grace on Flor
ence. The names of Keats, Leigh
Hunt and Lander are associated al
most as closely with Italy's image as
those of her own immortals.-Temple

THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE.
And the Interesting Notions He
Picked Up About His Old Home.

Mr.. Washington Plummerby, the
famous American writer and critic,
who has lived abroad for the past
weeks in the United States collecting
materials for great American novel,
four-act tragedy of Cherokee life,
and a series of essays on the labor
question in America and its relation
to divorce statistics. He was inter
viewed the other day by one of the
special hackmen of the Planet, who
was driving him down to the Lucania
to return TO his English home.
What do you think of America
now, Mr.. Plummerby?' the hackman
asked through the speaking tube, as
he exchanged his whip for a pencil.
TT has not grown any larger, ex-
cept about the head, since L was here
before. America is a fine country to
come to, provided you are not ma
tive. 1t is a good country to go
away from if you have a letter of
credit. But it has changed some"
For the better, Mr.. Plummerby?"
Yes, for the better. The chances
are all in favor of the bookmakers
now
What do you think of American
art?''
American what?"
american art
"Ohl American art is still in its
swaddling clothes. 1t will improve
when it can take off it's clothes and
go in swimming without fear of ar
rest"
How about our dramatic art?"
American dramatic art hasn't got
enough clothes on it; it should change
places with painting and sculpture.
We should take the nude off the
boards and put it in the canvas.
Painting hasn't a leg to stand on; the
drama has too many"
What do you think of American
fiction?'
There is great deal of it, espec-
tally in politics.
You misunderstood me. L mean
the fiction of literature. the novel,"
'Ah, yesi The American novel, Ell?
uni Well, 1t varies in degree and
kind, from Howells to the society col
umn. For my own convenience, I
divide it into three classes, the Exotic,

though some people add to it all the
odds and ends of fiction under the
head Of the Joblotic."
Talking of fiction, Mr.. Plummerby,

whatever to Summing. Bourget, 1

COST OF MOURNING, 1926.

did not look as black as Corsica. Nc

mourning was sent asa present by the

hangings on the walls. black coverings
to the beds, black carriers to the per
son, black coaches for everybody, If
the bereaved one was of sufficiently
high status to possess such things.
No wonder that a '-black bed WAS

funerals cost vast sums. Lady Sussex

EvADING THE PREssGANG.

1t was not an easy matter to get
married in pressgang times. Robert
Miller, a Kirkwau man, found this to
be the case. He returned from whale
fishing one autumn, fully resolved that
he should take unto himself a wife.
But the pressgang got on his track,
and he soon saw that if he was to get
his hearts desire he would require to
exert both pluck and perseverance. At
length the fateful night arrived The
company had gathered and the min
lister was in the house of the bride.
when the dreaded pressgang made its
appearance.
Ladies are not usually Of a belliger-
ent disposition, but when they saw, as
il this instance, the likelihood of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers,
they rose up in wrath against them.
They assailed the members of the
pressgang both with tongue and mis-
siles, so that these gentlemen were
glad to beat a hasty retreat. After this
little episode, q. back window of the
house was lifted and the bridegroom.
dressed in woman's clothes, bounded
into the room. The doors having been
barricaded to prevent a surprise, the
clergyman proceeded to perform the
ceremony, and surely no bridegroom
was ever married in such strange
garb! Miller was never captured. He
lived to a ripe old age. and was the
first beadle of the Kirkwall Free
church.-ChamberS Journal.

A CHINESE THEATRE

We entered the building assigned to
The Ascending Luminous Dragon" by
a small side door, and proceeding for
some distance along a very narrow.
WhlteWaShed passage, and down a
flight of steep and narrow wooden
steps, we arrived at the kitchen of
the establishment, where Celestial
cooks were busily engaged preparing
savory CO dishes for the performing
company. Our place, however, was
not there, so on we went up two more
flights of equally steep, dark and I'M
inviting stairs, Through door at the
top we walked unceremoniouSly into
the holy of the holies,' otherwise the
green room" Here the actors were
in various stages of personal adorn-
ment, some applying cosme tics, others
dressing, while many more, smoking
and chattering, were rehearsing their
peculiar parts, which, to our untutored
eyes, seemed to be composed of the
most absurd and extravagant antics.
Here and there were scattered small
tables, around and upon which those of
the performers whose parts were over,
listlessly reclined. HabilimentS and
garments of wonderful cut hung
around the walls, and were scattered
about the floor and tables in reckless
profusion, while huge chests contain
ing property were deposited at in
terVals around the room. From here
was the direct approach onto the
stage.
The artists were exclusively Chinese.
and, despite the deceptive makeup, ali
men. No woman is allowed on the
stage of Chinese theatre in any ca
pacity whatever. Strange as it may
sound, the omission is, however,
hardly noticeable, for the get-up of the
men impersonating female characters
is so perfect that it is with difficulty
one can really be convinced that the
unalterable law on the subject has not
been infringed. Nevertheless, in its
stern rigidity it is as unalterable as a
law of the Modes and Persians-The

Press Opinions.
London, June 23-The Graphic says
it is an old trick on the part of a
discredited ministry to resign office
in preference to dissolving parliament,
so as to leave the opposition the task
of winding UP the business of the
moribund chamber. But it is the
duty of the opposition to force Lord
Rosebery's government to dissolve.
There is no requirement, either of
personal honor or public convenience,
Obliging Lord Salisbury to attempt TO
govern with the present house OF
commons.
The Times says of the resignation Of
the ministry: The ministers must be
congratulated upon having rejected
the trickery and cowardly advice of
some of their supporters to remain in
Office. We believe Lord Salisbury will
feel it his duty to accept the task OF
forming a cabinet and that the next
ministry will be composed of repre-
sentatives of both sections of the
Unionist party.
The fancy of the radicals that a. long
time will be spent in angry scramble for
SpoilS between the two sections of the
unionists is q fond delusion. Recent
speeches of the unioniStS have shown a
perfect agreement respecting ends ana
means. Lord Salisbury may be expected
to resume the premiership. After Sails
bury the Duke of DeVonshire must be
recognized as having d claim to a cab

Salisbury should not become foreign Sec
rotary, the taking perhaps of the presi-
dency of the council, the position of for
eign secretary will undoubtedly fall to
mons the distribution of the principal Of
fees will be easily accomplished. Ral-
four Will become leader of the house,
probably with the office of first lord of
the treasury. Chamberlain position
gives him an indisputable claim to the
highest office next to Lord Salisbury, the
Duke of Devonshire and the Hon A j.
Balfour. By far the greatest opening for
lain'S ability and energy is the war Office
No man in parliament is better fitted to
grapple with the task of administrative
reforms ard reconstruction in the war
office than Mr.. Chamberlain. With him
at the war Office and Hon. George Co
schen ia the admiralty, we could rest
assured that the national defeDses and
the immense expenditures made in max
ing them would be IN the hands of capa-
BILE men Of both as well as staunch up
holders of the empire.

queen accepted Lord ROsebery's resigna-
tion as she accepted Mr.. Gladstone's,
without any expression of reluctance
with which she favored Lord Salisbury.
We believe Lord Rosebery and Sir Will
