A unique occupation for woman Is

a large brewery there received q request
from a Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements of the brewery.
After looking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has

tails of the pneumatic machinery IN the
malthouse, which proved to the brewer,
to his great surprise, that she was per-
fectly familiar with every detail of the
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
ouiry it was learned that the lady, a
Russian countess, had a large acreage
of barley growing on her estate, and IN
order to increase her revenue from this
source she had built brewery, which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much in the pneumatic mailing
apparatus because she could not get
skilled labor necessary for the produc-
tion of malt ON her Russian estates.
Tasting the product of the Berlin brew
ery. she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior to the German prod
net When a few days later the brewer
received some samples Of the lady 8

ARTISTS AND TRApEsMEN.

In the Early Days the Former Had a
Struggle to Live.
Among the artists resident in Glas-
Cow who had acquired before 1910 some
what of a reputation Graham Gilbert,
Horatio Macculloch and Daniel Macnee
are those most widely known to general
fame. To these men fell the prizes of
the profession such as they were at that
time. Prices were then on scale that
would not please the popular landscape
and portrait painters of today.
The smaller men-not very numer-
GUS, it is true, and yet some of them
most deserving-had tolerably hard
struggle for existence and had to exc
out their income by other work than
that of regular picture painting. Mac
culloch and Macnee themselves made
money in their younger days by decorat-
ing the lids of snuffboxes. The average
painter was frequently pretty much of a
bohemian, living from hand to mouth
and glad to clear off tradesman's bill
by painting the portraits of the worthy
shopkeeper and his wife.
One of our best known artists tells
how on occasion in the long years ago
when he was engaged at sitter's house
on the portraits of a successful clergy
man and his family the dinner hour ar
rived. He was not considered 'genteep'
enough to be asked to take place at the
table, but the mistress of the house
kindly sent to the parlor, where he was
working, a pate of stewed rhubarb to
keep him from wearying while the fam
