REMBRANDT AND VELAsoUEz.
Said to Have Been the Greatest Portrait
Painters That Ever Lived.

Rembrandt and Velasquez are the great
est portrait painters that have ever lived.
Like all great artists, Rembrandt's work
underwent gradual evolution His early
style is rather smooth and, although broad
in treatment is marked by great delicacy
of detail In the portrait of himself at our
National gallery, at the age of 33, there
are separate hairs at the end of the mus
tache drawn with the utmost flneness
Then he gradually adopted the very rough
and vigorous method of mis- later years
But in each style he was admirable The
celebrated Lesson of Anatomy at The
Hague is the finest example extant of his
earlier style 1t was painted in 1889, when
he was only %.
We find in it already fully developed his
mastery over light and shade but it is
perhaps hardly so skillful in arrangement
as some of his later works.
What is very noteworthy in this early
work is that the heads, although smoothly
painted, are quite as vigorous as in his
later and much rougher style. OF course
the reason is, though this is often over
looked, that vigor of effect depends on
truth of tone and strength of light and
shade and not on thickness and roughness
of paint Rembrandt's later style was
finer than his earlier because it gave more
truly the impression Of texture; also the
work was done more rapidly and with
more ease Consequently it was more
mastery, but it was not more effective.
1t is this essential truth and vigor that, to
my mind, constitute Rembrandt's chief
claim to be one of the two greatest portrait
painters of the world. For his mastery
over chiaroscuro l think he has been over
praised. This mastery he undoubtedly
had, and in many of his pictures 1t is used
most worthily to enhance the general ef-
feet, but in others it is employed in an ex.
aggerated and unnatural manner and de.
generates into something very like trick.

thoric full blooded people have feared to
Indulge in this tempting settling of heavy
feed, several English practitioners having
made severe attack on the siesta as tend

Medical Press declares this idea is founded
on a misapprehension of the physiological

this is what it says, answering the ques-

is merely physiological one and as such

one that offers new development in the

after tossing off the pousse cafe, to recline

modern fashion? Would these heavy diners
be able to restrain the shores with which

What Willie Said.

The minister, it was expected,
would spend the evening with the
family, and Mrs. Williams was most
anxious that her little boy should
appear at his best. "Now, Willie, "
she said, "Dr. Schultz will ask you
your name, and you must tell him it
is Willie And he will ask you
how old you are, and then you must
say, Five And he Will want to
know where bad little boys go, and
you must tell him, They go to hell.
Do you understand" Not content
with repetition once or twice, Mrs.
Williams drilled him again and
again in the answers.
DIR. Schultz came as expected,
and, after a short conversation with
the hostess lifted the little child on
his knee, and said: "Well, my lit
tie fellow, can you tell me your
name?n Imagine the surprise of the
reverend doctor when, like flash,
came the answer: willie. Five
years old. Go to helll"-London

When any part of the body isn't doing the
work that nature intended it to do, IL puts
the whole system out of tune-out of har-
mony. Sickness in one part of the body is
likely to run into all parts of the body.

setting one brick. That is exactly what
happens to the health when the bowels fail
to perform their proper function. Consti-
patton makes trouble all along the line

kidneys-bad for the stomach. 1t holds in
the body poisonous matter, and because IL

What Was Heard at Meeting of the
Owl Club.
One night last week, Immediately
after change Of officers at the city
hall, the members of the night owl
club met in front of the fire depart
ment, and the subject turned to dis
secting rooms. Here was the first
story, which was vouched for as be-
ing true: ar ... u.r
A young man living in Louisville,
KY, having determined to become a
physician, entered medical college
in one of the large Northern cities.
Soon after his entrance there he re-
ceived a telegram stating that his
only sister was very sick. Hereached
her bedside before she died. After
the funeral, in few days he re-
turned to the medical college to con-
tinue his studies. The head profess
sor invited him into his room and
spoke very kindly to him about his
trouble, and shortly afterward asked
him If he was ready to continue
work. Replying in the affirmative,
he was told to meet the class in the
dissecting room that evening. AS the
professor had taken a great liking to
the young student, he informed him
that he intended to give him a beau
tiful subject to dissect, and, taking
him to one of the tables, he told him
to go to work. The young student
made the necessary preparations,
such as sharpening his dissecting
instruments and putting on his
apron. He then started to remove
the cloth which covered the dead
body. He had scarcely thrown the
cover to one side when he gave a
most unearthly yell and fell fainting
to the floor. The dead body was
that of his sister. After recovering
from the shock he ordered the body
taken back to its first resting place
in the cemetery at Louisville, which
was done. He then left the college,
never to return, and gave up his in
tended vocation.
