AN OLD ALTAR PIECE.
Portrait OF Loyola In a St. Ig acc
(Gich.) Church.
Brought TO she New N'orld by Father
Marquette More Than Two Centuries
Ago-stoien by indians and
Used as Il Cagg

A picture with a romantic history
and that found its way from old 10
new France and across the waters of
Lake Alichigan; that has been through
battle, flood and wanderings in the
forests of the great northwest, is the
altar piece of the Church of St. Ignace
in the village of that name in Michi-
gan. 1t was brought over by Pere
Marquette in the early days of his mis-
sion and presented to the church OF
the Hurons The picture is evidently
the work of an ecclesiastical painter,
such as hourished in those days, and
of Spanish origin. 1t represents st.
Ignatius Loyola renouncing the pleas
ures of the world. In artistic value it
is of the modicum generally possessed
by contemporary works of this stamp.
AS far as the coloring is concerned,
says the Chicago Tribune, the original
artist can scarcely be held accountable.
With that spirit of pictorial house
cleaning that has affected church
works Of art more frequently than
those of any other class, it has been
retouehed. Part of the picture is dim
and part of it starts out with dis
tinctness that the paint supply of the
original artist perhaps never allowed.
But from the point of view of historical
worth it is quite another thing.
AS the legend goes, this picture of
the founder of his order was brought
over by Pere Marquette to New France
$50 years ago. He brought it with him
in his westward journeyings through
the wild new country to Three Rivers,
to Sault Ste. Marie, and finally, with
his faithful followers, the Hurons, to
st. Ignace. There it was put in the
Temporary church to he later carried

GOT THE WRONG HAT.
The Accident Due to a Curious Lon
don Custom.


A resident of Brooklyn who spent
the summer in Europe has a London
experience to relate, which until
now only his intimate friends are
acquainted with. At the London
restaurants many of the women
diners take off their hats and hang
them up as do the men They also
frequently wear the hats that we
call derbys when they ride their BIZ
cycles. Our Brooblynite went into
restaurant and hung up his hat as
usual. At table near him was
bright young woman, hetless like
himself. Finally the young woman
rose to leave and sort OF mechanical
ly she reached up and took of the
rack the derby which belonged to
the man and put it on In place OF
her feathered one. A moment after
the BroolIlynite started to leave and
found only the young woman's
hat on the rack. He started with
the teathered head-cover after the
fair one, who was already out of
sight. He hadn't gone half block
before vigilant bobby caught him
and refusing to accept his peculiar
explanation dragged him to the
nearest station, where his story was
repeated and the restaurant keeper
brought in 10 prove 1t and he was
released from the charge of having
run off with o woman's head gear.
He got away all right, but it cost
him new hat, as the woman never
came back, at least, while he was in
London. He Is thankful, he says,
that this was the only thing he was
elikely to get mixed on. Brooklyn |

Fame he got on to the shoulders of
the Ancients, appears to have sug-
gested one of the most ingenious o:
modern expedients. This consists
of getting up" a memorial to some

Some labor, some ability and some
learning are involved in the more
cumbrous device Of Bentley But
here all is simple and very easy.
You are on the shoulders OF your
great man at a bound, and stand
side by side with him in trice.
There is nothing which rebounds to
his credit which does not rebound to
your own. AS the red Indian is un-
der the impression that in possess
ing himself of scalp he possesses
himself Of the virtues belonging to
the former owner Of the scalp, so
this tribute Of enthusiastic admira-
ton quietly assumes withC, trouble
all that enthusiastic admiration
naturally implies. Is the object of
your homage a poet, a critic, q
scholar, the very fact that you pay
him homage is in itself testimony of
your own right to one or other of
these honorable titles. If, more
over, it should happen that you
know very little about the writings
of the author whom you have elected
to honor, this is Of no consequence;
for Of all the DISCUSSES which ig-
norance can assume, enthusiasm"
is the most effective. Nor are these
the only advantages of this particu-
lar method of getting reputation.
The collection Of subscriptions and
the formation of q committee bring
you into contact, or may, if judicious-
ly managed, bring you into contact
with all your distinguished contem-
poraries; and we all know what the
proverb says-''Noscitur a sociis"
a man is what his companions are.

INFLUENCE OF ATHLETICS.
Founder of the Mod srn Olympic
Games Tells of Their Value.


On the world at large the Olyrn-
pic games have of course, exerted
no influence as yet; but | am pro-
foundly convinced that they will do
so, Modern athletics need to be
unified and purified. Those who
have followed the renaissance of
physical sports in this century know
that discord reigns supreme from.
one end of them to the other. Every
country has its own rules; it is not
possible even to come to an agree
ment as to who is an amateur and
who is not. All over the world
there is one perpetual dispute, which
is further fed by innumerable week
ly, and even daily, newspapers. In
this deplorable state of things pro-
fessionalism tends to grow apace.
Men give up their whole existence to
one particular sport, grow rich by
practicing it, and thus deprive it of
all nobility, and destroy the just
equilibrium OF rlaa by making the
muscles preponderate over the mind.
1t is my belief that no education,
particularly in democratic times, can
be good and complete without the
aid of athletics; but athletics, in or
der to play their proper educational
role, must be based on perfect dis
interestedness and the sentiment of
honor.
If we are to guard them against
these threatening evils, we must
put an end to the quarrels of anna
teurs, that they may be united
among themselves, and willing to
measure their skill in frequent in
ternational encounters. But what
country is to impose its rules and it's
habits on the others? The Swedes
will not yield to the Germans, nor
the French to the English. Nothing
better than the international Olym-
pic games could therefore be de-
vised. Each country will take its
turn in organizing them When
they come to meet every four years
in these contests, further ennobled
by the memories of the past, athletes
all over the world will learn to know
one another better, to make mutual
concessions, aud to seek no other re
ward in the compe tition than the
honor Of the victory. One may be
filed with the desire to see the col
ors of ones club or college triumph
in a national meeting; but how much
stronger IS the feeling when the
colors OF ones country are at stakeI
l am well assured that the victors
in the Stadion at Athens wished for
no other recompense when they
heard the people cheer the flag of
their country in honor of their
achievement.
1t was with these thoughts in
mind that sought to revive the
Olympic games. / have succeeded

Mosquitoes and Water,

Mosquitoes cannot multiply where
there is no standing water, and
their numerousness may, In some
degree, be curtailed by covering
ponds, barrels and other places
where stagnant water is found with
a thin layer of oil. Even coal oil
win answer the purpose, for, dis
ytributingi itself over the surface OF
the water, it prevents the larvae
,from bresbhing, and thus, in Q few
minutes, kills every wiggler in the
water,
