The Venetian painter Giovanni Bel
lini ideallzed Virgin of a type quite diff
ferent from others. His many Madon-
mas are refined types of womanly beauty,
types of dreamy but glorious maternity,
familiar yet supremely noble, thus con-
trasting with the Madonnas of the Flor
entines, in which the character of vir-
ginity is given the preference over that
Of maternity. Bellini's pupil Titan
painted his Madonnas in the same spir-
it, accentuating their maternity rather
than their virginity.
PERUGINO'S FAMOUS FACES.
Perugino was the inventor of type
of beauty in his virgins which has been
elaborated upon by many of the sue
ceeding generations of painters. He
took as a model local type of beauty
still common in his native province of
st. Francis of Assist. These women
have round and grave faces, with deli
cately pencied eyebrows, somber eyes
and plainly arranged hair. Perugino's S
Madonna has been the model of many
Of the later artists of repute, and today
is the generally accepted ideal. 1t has
strength and sweetness, and shows a
world of feeling in the tender melan-
choly of an inclined head, in the dreamy
languor of the eyes and the pathetic
grace of the silent lips.
RaphaeIs Madonnas show many types
and several of them are not unlike Per-
ugino's, and this is but natural, for Per-

MISSION OF AN OLIVE LEAF.

While Bismarck was Prussian envoy
at Paris he made short Pyrenean tour
and at Avignon made the acquaintance
OF young couple named Luning, who
were spending their honeymoon in that
romantic spot. One day the three set
out together for a drive, but they had
scarcely seated themselves in the car
riage when telegram was handed Bis
,, marck. 1t was message from King
William, summoning him to return to
Berlin and assume the post of minister
president. The Pruscian chamberlain
| had rejected the estimates for reform
ed army, which was the first condition
of other reforms, and the king was in
despair
Bismarck made no secret of the con-
tents of the telegram, and frankly eX-
pressed hope that he might succeed in
reconciling the government and the
chamber. But he would not interrupt
the drive, and they went on along the
bank of the Rhone until, reaching the
vineyards and olive groves, they got out
of the carriage for a little STROLL Sud-
denly Nine. Luning stopped, and, break
ing double twig from a young olivo
tree, offered it to Bismarck
May this help you to make it up with
your opponents" she said.
Il will accept half of it," he answered.
twig. May the other half, with this
rose, bring you dear madam, constant
peace in your happy marriage"
Four days later he was in Berlin, and
there he found the king with his abdica-
tion signed and ready. He refused in
those circumstances to take Office, and
when the king asked him If he were pre-
pared to govern against a majority of
the chamber he answered Yes" with
out the slightest hesitation. The abdi-
cation was torn up, and Bismarck ac-
cepted office. 1t was during this strug-
gle that the king said:
II can see far enough from the palace
window to- behold. your head laid on the
scaffold, and after yours, mine"
Well" said Bismarck, "for myself I
cannot imagine a nobler death than that
or on the battlefield. Surely your ma
jesty as captain of company cannot
think of deserting it under fire!'
"Never!" was the reply. and the king
sprang up ready for action.
But the olive leaf had not yet fulfilled
its dramatic mission. At his first speech
before the budget committee Bismarck
urged military reform, but only to be
met by the objection that it would be
much better for the government to de-
pend upon moral conquests by the aid of
liberal policy He took out his pocket
book and produced from it little with
cred twig.
Il brought this olive leaf with me from
AvignOn," said he, ''in order to offer 1t
to the radicals as a symbol of peace; but
l see am much too soon with It,"
This assurance was met with smile,
and he reused himself to sterner speech.
Germany" said he, does not look to
liberalism, but to the power of Prussia,
and Prussia must pull herself together
so as not to miss the favorable moment.
Not by speechifying and resolutions can
the great questions of the time be decid-
ed, but by blood and IRON"
And blood and iron decided them

afflicted as / was to give you a report of
what your No. belt has done for me. Five
months ago I was badly troubled with
seminal weakness of long standing, which
brought on lame back, emissions, impoten-

cradle, instead of comfort and pleasure. 1
saw your ad. in the local papers, and con-

first weeks wearing 1 began to improve
and have kept on improving up to date, and

the above complaints have disappeared and

Whatever may be the merits in law or In
fact of the controversy now in progress at
the District building concerning the public
lighting contracts for the ensuing fiscal
Year. one fact stands out prominently as
the chief deduction from the situation.
There is the most pressing need for definite
legislation on his subject of supplying il
Illumination to the streets of Washington,
ard it should he one of the first duties of
Congress to clarity the complication by
making a specific and unmistakable decla-
ration OF intention in this regard.
But congressional action cannot he had
for at least seven or eight months. There
is a present situation which must be dealt
with at once. The question, which is a
legal one. of the proper construction of a
law. will undoubtedly be taken into the
courts at once through an injunction pro-
Cseding which will prevent any excavation
OF the streets until the court decides that
sUch excavation would be legal or until
Congress has made definite statement of its
plans as TO the artificial illumination of the
city's thorougnfares and has directly legal
lied such excavation. To accura tely con-
strue congressional utterances Is a task
likely to strain the intellectual faculties of
any body of men. but in view of Judge
Ringham's previous decision and of the
failure of the efforts at the last session of
Congress 10 secure a direct grant to the
Potomac Company of the right to excavate
the streets and lay conduits the public will
be inclined to expect a decision of the
court sustaining the construction placed
upon the law by the attorney for the Dis
trict. and by the president of the board of
Commissioners, who Is himself learned in
the law. The general belief. irrespective of
IL dviGual wishes in the matter will doubt
less be that. notwithstanding the decision
of a majority of the Commissioners, the
Potomac Company will need to secure fur
Their legislation before it can be permitted
by the courts TO excavate streets and lay
conduits in the city or county east of Rock
creek.
Washington is awkwardiy situated in this
imbTGgliO on the one hand is His Satanic
Majesty; the other side is the deep blue
ocean. We do not.want our streets torn up
under doubtful legal authority as they un-
d0uhtedly will be if the Potomac Company
has half d chance 10 do il. On the other
hand We do not want the municipality to
he fstrered hand and foot and turned over
helpless TO existing illuminating corpora
tons which can ignore entirely the wishes
of the municipality as TO specifications and
prices, ana AT their own pleasure leave the
city in darkness or illuminate ii as imper-
fectly they fit for the full amount of
the appropriation. If there is no possibility
OF competition in the case.
For the present the courts will deal with
the legal question involved. but there will
be more or less disturbance. doubt and dis
satisfaction until the lawmakers the
Capitol make specific statement as to what
is desired and expected Of the Commits
sIOners and the competing corporations in
promoting the general welfare by satisfac-
tory public illumination
