ern Work.
He Offers Some Suggestions That Might
Interest the Local Art
Association.

Daniel Baugh, president of the Phila-
delphia Art Club, arrived here YESTERDAY
on his way to Japan. He is accompanied
by Mrs. Baugh. Mr.. Baugh is we'll known
in the East as a patron of art and artists.
He has been president of the Philadelphia
Art Club for. three years and has done
much to increase the interest in art in that
city. He has offered number of prizes
to artists in Philadelphia and has had
much to do with the management of local
art galleries. Mr.. Baugh has splendid
residence on Locust avenue and recently
entertained there Benjamin Constant, the
great French artist who painted 1.-THE
Captive" the picture which Mr.. Searles
has Just presented to the Mark Hopkins
Institute of Art.
The Art Club has done much for art in
Philadelphia on account of the lines upon
which, and the purposes for which, it was
formed. Speaking of this yesterday at
the Palace Mr.. Baugh said:
''The Art Club was formed eight or nine
years ago for the purpose of fostering a
taste for art in theH city. Its mem bership
includes some 800 people who are not
artists and about 100 artists. OF course q
great many, when asked to join. particu-
larly those who really cared little for or
knew little about art and were willing to
join for social purposes, predicted that the
club would soon become simply social in
its character. But that has not been the
case. All the members have acquired
taste for art and take lively interest in it.
The club has an art gallery in which are
given three exhibitions a year-one of
water colors, one of oil and sculpture and
the third of architecture. Then artist
members are allowed to hang their pic
lures in the gallery under certain restrie-
tons at any time.
1.-THE Pennsylvania Academy of Fine
Arts has been in existence for fifty years
has given annual exhibitions, and has
done great deal for art. but Philadel-
phians are conservative, and probably their
Quaker proclivlties made them look with
considerable indifference on art. Since the
starting of the Art Club great deal more
interest has been taken in the exhibitions
and as consequence they have much i'm
proved.
"Of course, don't want you to under
stand that the object of the club is to
patronize artists and help them to get
start, but to help art by instilling in the
people knowledge of 1t and taste for il.

The Funnel Trick.

Jerry Lynch has finally learned
the funnel trick. He took it in two
doses-one on one evening and the
other the next. The Senator sauntered
up to the Bohemian Club the other
day and saw two or three of the
Younger members attempting new
feat, and he watched them with in
terest. One of them stuck funnel IN
the top OF his trousers, threw his head
back, placed fifty cent piece on his
forehead and tried to drop it in the
funnel by slowly lowering his head.
After oil had failed Jerry insisted on
trying it, though all had tried to dis.
suade him from attempting feat too
difficult for them. The funnel was
placed in the waistband of his trousers
and he threw back his head to receive
the coin on his expansive brow. At
that juncture pitcher of ice water
was emptied into the funnel, and by
the time Jerry had got through dane
ing the jokers had vanished. Tho Sen
ator's temper improved with dry raj
ment, and the next night at the club
he started to show a couple Of friends
the funnel trick.
"It's this way" he explained; "you
put the funnel in the top OF your
pautaloons, So, then throw your head
back 70, and-vow!"
Again Jerry was forced to change
his raiment, and he is not showing
people what he knows about the fun
mel trick. San Francisco News Letter.

Fruit as Medicine.

Why have people always eaten ap.
ple sauce with their roast goose and
sucking pig ? Simply, explains Professor
Sofshee, because the acids and pep.
tones in the fruit assist in digestlng
the fats 80 abundant in this kind OF
food. For the same reasonat the end
of heavy dinner We cut our cooked
fruits, and when We want their dlges-
tive action even more developed We
take them after dinner in their natural
uncooked state az dessert. In the
past ages, instinct has taught men to
do this; to-day science tells them why
they did it, and this same science tells
us that fruit should be eaten as an aid
to digestion of other foods much more
than it is now. Cultivated fruits,
such as apples, pears, cherries, straw
berries, grapes, etc., contain on an
alysis very similar proportions of the
same ingredients, which are about one
per cent. of fesh-forming albuminoids,
with over eighty per cent. of water.
Digestion depends upon the action OF
the pepsin in the stomach upon the
food, which is greatly aided by the
acids of the stomach. Fats are digest
ed by these acids, and the bile from
the liver and the acids and peptones
in fruit peculiarly assist the acids OF
the stomach.-Journal of Health.

IDEAL PARTY GOWN FOR A GIRL.

An ideal dancing or party gown is
here represented made OF pale reseda
silk and decorated with multicolored
embroidered chiffon. The front is ar
ranged over fitted Innings provided
with single bust darts to which the
material is applied at square yoke
depth. The full front is joined to tn
lower edge of yoke, the joining being
concealed by the pretty insertion that
forms pompadour effect in front ex-
tending over the shoulders and on
either side of the back. Three bands
of similar insertion fall from yoke.
The skirt.shaped front, side cores and
full straight back is particularly
adapted to sheer fabrics. The foot
trimming consists of narrow chiffon
edged frill with band OF insertion
above. The gown may be developed
in challis, crepons, taffetas, or cream
white alpaca, or fashioned in lighter
fabrics, as organdie, Swiss. or NOUS

trimmings of batiste edging and inser-

full skirt is ornamented by deep hem

feature is the pretty bertha, gathered

six years it will require four yards OF

Egg Sharpers.

A new and cunning scheme is being
worked by certain sleek sharpers and
unfortunately several farmers are the
innocent victims. The schemer in
this case appears at the farmhouse and
states that he represents an Eastern
grocery house. He offers to sci! the
farmer bill of groceries and accep
IN payment eggs. The schemer then
gives the farmer note promising to
pay the face value in groceries, while
the farmer gives his note agreeing to
pay face value in eggs. OF course this
seems to be fair deal, but the gro-
ceries fail to appear. The farmers
note appears at the local bank for col
lection and there is nothing for the
furmer to do but to pay the same. The
schemer has erased all reference to the
payment in eggs and the note has to
be settled in cash.-American Agricul-
turist.

Queer Animal Pygmies.

Pygmies are not confined to the hu'
man race, but are found among che
lower animals. One Of the most re-
markable of these dwarfs was species
of elephant which formerly lived on
the island of Malta and in various
parts of Italy, where its bones are
now found. This creature, Judging
from the bones which have been COL
lected, was about the size of a sheep,
so we can imagine the baby pygmies,
perfect elephant not much larger
than cat; an animal readily held in
the open palm Of strong mans hand.
Dwarf elephants are not unknown to-
day, and several have been brought to
this country, where they seem to de-
velop wonderful intelligence.
The Shetland and other ponies are
the pygmies among horses, and in the
early days there was horse hardly as
large as a fox, if we may believe the
evidence of the rocks which have pre-.
served the remains of various fossil
horses.
A very beautiful pygmy deer group
is found on the Sunda Islands. These
little creatures are not much bigger
than q cat, while the young are beau
tiful little animals, hardly the size OF
small rabbit, yet perfect in shape
and form. The ordinary musk deer OF
Central Asia is pygmy in every sense
of the word, and one of the most at
t-active of the tribe. To the natural
ist it is an undeveloped creature. 1t
is about three feet in length, twenty
inches high at the shoulder, and has
in the male largely developed canine
teeth that project, so that they are
very conspicuous, and are used as
weapons in the contests which the lit
tie creatures wage one with another.
The sperm whale is perhaps the
largest, or very nearly the largest, llV.
! ing animal, and in singular contrast
to it is the pygmy sperm that was dis
covered on the New Jersey sands few
years ago and forwarded as q rare
prize to the National Museum at Wash
ington. While the real sperm whale
is possibly eighty feet in length, the
pygmy speciman is but eight. This
little creature has the peculiar blunt
head, the toothed jaw of the big sperm,
but is very diminutive edition OF it,
especially when seen with the man
who found it. Its newly born young
are when nursing not much longer
than a rabbit, while the ordinary
sperm infant is thirteen or fourteen
feet in length. Denver Republican.

Seventeen Kinds Of Bears.
