One result of the hard times has been tendency to restrict club ered- it's. Most clubs have rule upon this subject that is not too strictly en- forced in flush times, and every large club expects to have some thousands of dollars owing to it from members who have enjoyed the good things of this life on credit. When hard times come arrears of this sort tend to swell to an embarrassing size, and probably every club in New York, save two or three of the richest, has been forced to put it's own regulations strictly in force within the last eighteen months.

to fancy how the artist could see the statuesquely smooth wavelines of the goddess hair disordered and fallen down her back, with modern unre- serve as he has drawn them. It would be fancy-stirring thing to picture the absolutely sincere artist, sitting before his image of the Venus, much too tall for her sex, and her day" clothing her to bring her nearer to our own times and affections, yet never forgetful of the pure white marble figure, "a thing to sober Silenus, and ehasten love him. self-a thing to QuiXotize a modern French masher!" eThe words just quoted are written concerning Trilby, on page 80, in a passage inspired by the thought that Trilby's beauty was ideal, that s'she surpassed all other models as Calypso surpassed her nymphs. - And the other ideal fgure-the Greek ideal has never been more justly charac- terized.) And then, after he had thought, all for his own delight, what a superb untutored voice would issue from such columnar throat if she should speak, and how, if she should sing to him, it would be an 'sapotheosis of voice and virtuosity, il bel canto come back to earth" why, then, per haps, he feigned his Svengali, and let him say:
 "Himmel! the roof of your mouth is like the dome of the Pantheon-and in- side of your beautiful big chest the lungs are made of leather! and your breath, it embalms-like the breath of a beautiful white heifer"
 As for Trilby's foot, that would seem to be just the last effort (and perhaps the only adequate effort) to restore the lost foot of the Venus. It is familiar thought that the imagination, if put to it, will create unattainable perfections in the unseen, the unheard, things lost beyond hope of recovery. As Keats has said;
 "Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter."
 Finally, please turn to page 101, where you may read:
 If our climate were such that we could go without any clothes on we probably should, in which case perhaps our bodies and limbs would be as those of the Theseus and Venus of Milo: who was no Venus, except in good looksl"

Open your copy of 'tTrilby" at paye 319, where Trilby is represented as singing ''Au clair de la lune" Her face is in profile, and you have the feeling that you are looking up at her, as though from seat in the stalls. Now place statuette of the Venus of Milo somewhat above the level of your eyes and turn it until the face is in pro- file.
 Can you have any further doubts as to the original Trilby? Compare the drap- cry as it falls away from the slightly advanced knee. See how slightly the head has been turned towards the right, and the chin thrown out to aid the full production of the voice. See what led to the invention of the 'sTrilby gown, because Venus did not rise from the wave for the sole purpose of doing credit to the dressmalers, and she did have a high stomach. Now it is clear why Trilbys arms are hidden in this drawing, as well as in the two others-that on page 331 and that on page SIT.
 It would be rather fine to follow, in all it's details, the modernization of this heroic figure, this ideal of tender dignity, this impersonation of woman liness that not one man only, but each member of company of friends las Taffy and the Laird and Little Billee and everyone else) might all love- and innocently love, at the same time. For who should be excluded when supplica- tions are to be brought to the queen o1 love herself? It would be rather well

Genesis of the Lightnlng Rod.

The first lightning rod was not con structed by Franklin, nor set up ir America, but by a monk at Seutten berg, Bohemia, named Prohop Dill wisch. His apparatus was made and put together during the spring and summer of the year 1754, and was first set up in the garden of the cure o1 Prenditz (Moravia), on June 15 of the year above named. The rod attained as much distinction as that later made by Franklin, and was the cause of the inventor being presented with much money and large estates. His enemies claimed that the rod was the cause of the great drought of 1757, 175S and 1759, and upon the matter' being re- ported to Vienna, it was ordered to be taken down

period before his loss. And. Ia recent visitor at the house in a quiet little street that leads from the open Aheath down to the township of Hampstead" (to be more precise, it is New Grove house")has just been telling you, in the pages of well-lnown magazine, that the house contains two models of the Venus of Milo, and that MT. Du Maurier speaks of his statue as s'his great ad- miration."
 How has the charm of the arnless Venus wrought in Mr. Du Maurier's mind?

so I asked him if he did not think such a woman would look well with her arms restored and slipped into modish gown, and her poor broken foot com plete once more and bien chausse, and her queenly head in a Ganesborough hat.
 By such irreverence his eyes were opened, and he saw; indeed, he began to invent, saying: "Yes, or at the head of dinner table, dressed like Mme. X, she would be gracious; and her new arms would be bare, beautifully bare, more beautifully than Mme. Xsl"
 And, afterward. he wanted to go with. me to the Louvre every morning.
 That was the way the charm of the armless goddess found its way into his mind Now, from the known, let us reason a bit about the unknown.
 Almost half century ago boy of the finest imaginable nature was re- ceiving the strongest enduring i'm pressions- impressions that the art of his maturity has transformed into ex- press images, to delight all people, everywhere, who read English books. An enduring impression of music, for one thing, because his father sang so well, better than the professionals. far better to the sons ear. An enduring (receiyed little later) of the whole delightful world of art, that one can never fully apprehend unless one has begun himself to advance along one of the avenues of art. Then, still little later, an impression of the life of art students in the Quartier Latin at Paris-this all the more enduring be- cause the experience included almost the last scenes that he beheld with both eyes. Then, and until to-day, renewed day by day by constant and loving ob- servatlon of the statue, an impression of ideal womanhood drawn from the same figure that Howard finally feared for'
 zOf course you will know that it was Mir. George Du Maurier's father who sang so divinely; that it was Mir, Du Maurier who, as q boy, would not be turned aside from the study of art, and who passed happy year in the Quar- tier Latin, just before there came the physical calamity which has notavailed i. to darlen the useful years that fol- lowed, but which, doubtless, intensi- fled the brightness of the remembered

The last Democratic preaSdent. Mr..
Buchanan, was not able to place 8
per cent bond of the United States.
After all the losses Of the great civil
war the nation under Republican laws
paid of its debt so steadily that obli-
cations Of the United States could have
been placed two years ago at IL per
cent. General prosperity was the basis.
A nation adding s. 200 100000 every year
to its wealth may very well borrow
money at 1-2 per cent. while the same
nation, II 1t is adding nothing to its
wealth, may borrow with difficulty at
3 S-4 per cent. 1t is altogether too
much the fashion at Washington to
ignore the condition Of the people. and
to think only OF the concise pharseology
Of the bond. Exactly the same bond
which Secretary Foster could have
placed two years ago at 2 IL per cent,
Secretary Carlisle is now glad to place
at rate Just so per cent higher.
