Unfair to the Artist.

Sir Frederick Leighton thinks that the
custom of photographing and reproducing
the successful pictures at exhibitions is
most unfair to the artist. By the time the
picture is ready for sale every one is so ac-
customed to the haokneyed counterfeit of
1t that they have no further use for the
original. The more popular an artist is
the more is this true. He suggests the fol-
lowing remedies for protecting the artist 9
interests: In the first place, to vigorously
exclude the facsimile reproduction Of his
work from all illustrated catalogues and
return to the pen, pencil or charcoal sketch,
SO excellent as mere memorandum of
his work and in itself SO absolutely safe;
in the next place, to meet with steady
refusal requests to have his works repro
duced by facsimile process in an illus
trated periodical or any publication what
ever, or it, after due consideration, he finds
that he can afford to lend his work for that
purpose, at least to prohibit publication
till after the close of the exhibitions -

COlors.

A writer in The Zeitschrift fur 1nstru-
mentkunde Is quoted as presenting some
views on the subject of color blindness not
quite in accord with those generally cur
rent. He assumes that, in the strict sense
of the word, there are no homogeneous col
ors, provided that homogeneous light is
regarded as consisting in reality only of
the rays of one wave length, for on en-
ploying the usual media for deoomposing
white light-that is, the prisms or frame
and slit-a superposition of the individual
wave lengths arises, owing to the disper-
sion and to the marked breadth of the
slit in comparison with the size of the
wave lengths.
Tho inference drawn from this Is that a
marked sensitiveness of the eye to color is
not caused by any one wave length, but
by a certain kind Of combination of sew
eral wave lengths, this, therefore, doing
away with the prevalent idea of making
purple an exceptional color. Again, pur-
pie is not present in the spectrum, as red
end violet, being situated at the ends of
the spectrum, are not able to superpose
their wave lengths, but If these no longer
visible red and violet rays be brought to
convergence purple will result, or, on the
other hand, gazing through prism at n
dark object on light ground one of the
objects edges will be seen bordered with
red orange yellow and the other with blue
violet. Green however, is conspicuous by
its absence, as no superposition can now
arise between blue and yellow; hence pur-
pie is Just as much, and, in the same
sense, a component part Of white light, as
other colors.

tell what manner of woman had designed
and planned it.
Brunettes seem always to choose dark,
rich oriental colors, warm crimsons, dark
velvety green, golden brown and deep
orange, while blonds invariably choose
white and gold, pink, pale blue or sea
green. or faint rose lilac. If literary be
her tastes, her big oesk will be in evil
dence. and piles of books and magazln es
will be in easy reach of the soft, pillow ed
lounges il of domestic turn. her work
basket, with dainty bits of fancy WORK,
will have the post of honor. If she be
musical. q little piano will fill one corner,
for it would never do to practice on the
grand white and gold affair in the parlor
down stairs.
No matter what the tenor of our lady S
mind, she will have a tea table in her
china to match the color scheme of the
room. ana little enameled spoons. cur
ious old tea caddy and q funny fat little
kettle of hammered silver.
To be admitted into this cosy corner
of the house, argues that either you are
an old, trusted friend. or else you are soon
to be one. for tu no one else is extended
the privilege of admittance.
Mrs. Stephen Van Rensselar Cruger is
at one and the same time a shining light
among the Four Hundred and a most
successful novelist. Under the name of
Julien Gordon she has sent out books and
novels which have made her famous One
would expect something out OF the ordi-
nary in this woman's boudoir, and they
would surely find it. The walls are hung
with bright, crimson silk damask, re-
leved by dado and frieze of gilt; the
velvet carpet is of the same shade of Grim
son. and this color is repeated In the up
Ill. a lol,o -,
the hangings of the windows.
The desk at which she has done m ost
of her work is larger than those chosen
by Fashionable women, and 1t has the ap-
pearance of being used onstantly. The
wood is dark mahogany, lnlaid with
mother of pearl and faint traceries of
gold. All of the appointments, from the
tiny little porcelain candlestick which
holds the taper for sealingwax down to
the curiously wrought pen. are in the
blended colors of crimson and gold. Just
after the bun ming of her house at Oyster
bay. when she lost many of her most
valued heirlooms and collections, this
pen was sent to her. 1t is quill of ex-
quisitely wrought gold. bearing the ini
tials J. 6. in flaming rubies.
Mrs. Elisha Dyer Jr., who is as fair and
slender as any gold-crowned easter lily,
has little boudoir which is a dream in
rose color, white ani gold. The walls are
hung with white silk, tlecked with gold.
The carpets are snowy white, and the
downy-pillowed conches, big easy rest
chairs. even the frames of the dainty
water colors which hang here and there,
are repetitions.of the rose, white and
gold. To preserve the harmony Mrs.
Dyer always chooses her negliges with
an eye to the coloring of the dainty little
room in which she is to wear them. But

bugs frequently leave it, running around
without apparent reason. They are, how
ever. searching for good place of de-
post. The hole in which it finally rests
is several inches, ard often a foot or
more, in depth, and in order that the
bugs may be able to excavate 1t the dig
ging" must be good.
When the site is once chosen queer
method of making the hole is resorted
to. The way of rolling the bail is COM
monplace compared to it. You would
naturally think that the bugs would first
dig the hole and then push the ball into
it.. No such thing. They quite reverse
the ball and digs with his hind legs,
throwing the dirt out around the edges.
AS he gets lower the ball sinks with him,
and when the hole is deep enough he
digs his wav around the ball. which has
followed HIM all the way. and then pushes
up through the loose dirt to the surface.
What he does for fresh air during this
process j! som methlng that no man can
find outs
When the egg matches in its subterra-
near abode the larvae feed ON the mate
Iial Of their envelope. In course of time
they surround themselves With the same
material, cemented together with gela-
tinous substance exuded from their bo-
dies, and later emerge as perfect insects.
The ancient Romans esteemed the larvae
of the tumble bug as great delicacy.
They were eaten after being fried deli
cate brown. Modern epicures have taken
to snails.
The Egyptian variety of che tumble
bug, which is also found all over Africa
and Southern Europe, is just the same as
that found in the United States, except
that ii is twice as large. In shape, color
and habits it is identical. It's shell is
very hard, and the legs, particularly the
hind ones, arr, very strong. This makes
the insect well adapted for digging. The
sense of smell is wonderfully developed,
and tor this reason the tum ble bug is ex-
ceedingly valuable in its particular work
for mankind. 1t was created for scav-
enger.
BY man this renowned insect has been
exempted from the humble lot of most of
its tribe. The ancient Egyptians consid-
cred it sacred and paid it divine honors.
They represented it on temples, obelisks
and statues, and enclosed it in collins
with the embalmed bodies of the. dead.
1t was favorlite deity. representing the
sun. AS typical OF the luminary which
likewise to be regarded as the em blem
OF fertility. and it is eaten by Egyptian
women to this day, under the idea that
it is efficacious
1t is not difficult to see how the tum-
BILE bug should come to represent the sun.
Inc oail Is roued backward Dy tne lnseCt,
inst as the large bali (the earth) IL by
the sun. In its arduous and incessant
labor the tumble bug Iesembled the sun.
It's legs have five joints each, or thirty in
all. This is equal to the ber OF days
the sun remains in each sign of the To-
diac. There are dozen other reasons
given by ancient writer's explaining why
the tumble bug was chosen to represent
the sun. Whether they are true or OF we
do not know. OF tho fact that 1t was so
chosen We are certain.

Stage people are profigate with money;
their rowing manner or life is not con-

against so many temptations that even a

longing to blow IN the coin OF the realm

army OF friends. Take Hopper at any
season of the year when his money is
coming in fast and heavy, and it's doubt
full if his balance in the bank amounts to
more than very few hundred dollars.
He is spender from very early in the
morning until extremely late at night.
His love of the national game costs him
