FULL LENGTH
FIGURE WORK
All the Details Must
Be Exact
The Best Results Are Obtained
by Selecting a Natural
Httitude

In making full-length portraits it is
necessary to get resem biance in every part
of the body as we'll as the face. The re-
semblance exists just as strongly as in the
face, and if anything is easier to find. If
you see friend several hundred feet away
1t Will be easy TO recognize him even
though there is not a single detail of his
face or apparel visible. In many cases it
will be possible to recognize him when his
face cannot be seen, but is turned in an.
other direction. This is the result of his
character and the manner of his carriage,
all of which must be studied in order to
make figu portrait that is true to ma
ture.
Ii man habitually stands with his head
pushed forward, as though in deep thought,
1t would surely be a mistake to pose him
with his head thrown back like a dandy
soldier. The features would be there, but
there would be something lacking that
might not be apparent at once. Such a
picture soon grows tiresome and in time.
ceases to resemble the person at all. Let
the person take a natural pose. Or if you
want a real good picture make an effort to
get him when he does not know it. Catch
him in some occupation where he is un-
conscious OF anything else, and make
snap shot. Such a picture will grow on
you, and the more you see of it the more
you will like it.
The full-length portrait illustration is a
delightfully."- original bit of work that was
done by an amateur of this City, c. w.
Conlisk. The figure is that of Mrs. Con-
lisk, his wife, and the pose is so natural
and easy that one almost expects the lady
to speak. Every part of the figure is a
likeness and the pose is so natural thatthe
lady seems about to address you. There is
no effort at striking an attitude in this
picture. The lady is simply resting her
foot on the log in an easy position and is
as unconscious of posing as possible. But
the picture was not made without study.
Notice how the light and shade are ar
ranged and how free from conventionality
it is. See how the light strikes the face.
1t is soft and vet strong enough to pro-
duce all the contrast required. Every
feature shows perfectly. and at the same
time the artistic arrangement of the pic
ture leaves nothing to be desired.
The selection of the background is a
particularly good bit of work. 1t just
suits the figure and furnishes the required
amount OF dark to produce harmony.

however, equivocal or doubtful about the
language and meaning of that rule. It
was moreover unmistakably peremptory.
Nothing, therefore, remained to us as law
abiding people but either to give up our
trip or to 60 unarmed. AS we could not
entertain the former we decided upon the
latter, and to take our chances.

Before us lay the vast primeval forest
of the high sierras, with its arching and
sun-ighted vistas of magnificent trees,
its varied and fragrant shrubs, its bright

its anthem-singing streams and rills, and

and unearthly screaming howl broke
suddenly and sharply upon the still

such ear-piercing shrillness and volume
as not only to startle US but momentarily
to take away our breath. What could it
be? Such a terrifying and discordant

Santa Clara Hybrids That Upset
the Karmic Law of Cause

The law of balance and compensation is
a generally accepted scientific fact, and
out of it grows the idea that "like pro-
duces like" A good seed in good soil will
produce a good plant. This leads on to
the theory of harmony. A soft touch on a
piano will produce a soft note in re-
sponse The harmony theory even goes
further and holds that a gentle word will
induce a gentle answer. A command or
request in a kind, gentle voice is said to
be the most effectual to produce obedience.
And such should be the case according to
natural law, and undoubtedly is in most
instances
But such is not the case when it comes
to mules TINS may be the result of a GER
tain amount of inborn cussedness in the
most abused creature in the world, but in
dealing with scientific subjects it is best to
stick to facts. That mules do act con-
trary to all natural law was most forcibly
illustrated a few days ago on one of the
roads leading into Santa Clara.
Everybody down that way knows old

has had a span that he has driven for
three years, and he has always worked on
the theory of gentleness. He said that it
always was a success, but then those
mules had never had any opposition.
They had been driven over the splendid
roads of Santa Clara County and went
along as easy as on a city street. They
had never heard profane word.
The day the mules were put to the test
was an unusually hot one and the load
they pulled a heavy one. But they went
along willingly enough until old Joe
dropped half asleep. Then they con-
cluded it would be a good idea to rest
awhile unaer the trses by the roadside.
The first thing Joe knew was when the
front wheels ran into the irrigating ditch.
He thought he had fallen off the earth at
first. but il did not take him long to hnd
out the real state of affairs.
One of the front wheels was deep In the
1nire and the hind wheel was well on the
ROAD. The best thing to do was to turn
the mules so that they could pull the
wagon back to where it came from, which
looked easy enough to Joe, who thought
he would be delayed but short time.

They moved around, to be sure, but didn't
bulge the wagon an inch.
For over two hours Joe worked with
those mules. He petted them and called
them nice names, and even walked down
the road quarter of a mile to get them a
bucket of water. Kitty and Sally, how
ever, refused to move the wagon. It was
too much like work. The sun got hotter
and hotter, and after exhausting his en-
dearing terms Joe vigorously applied the
whip, but all to no purpose. He even
went so far as to call the mules stubborn

"Let me try 'em, he said to Joe when
he drove up.

Joe was sure he smelled sulphur, as his
friend got more and more profane and
cracked his whip loudly several inches

got down to business. They gave one

Judge Otis Hearing the Suit of
Heimbach Against Bruggemnnn.
Judge Otis is hearing the suit Of
Gottfried Heimbach against Martin
md John Bruggemann, which Is an
ction to have set aside a sale under a
mortgage for $500, and also to have
ct aside a mortgage for $4,000. Ed
ard Heimbach, the plaintiffs son, is
married to Martin Bruggemann's
laughter, and it appears he was
6 1arged with having received from the
iermania bank some $4,000 on forged
otes. In order to save him from pros
"cution, Martin Bruggemann settled
he affair with the bank, and induced
Ieimbach ST. to give him a mortgage
ior $4,000 on his place as part compen-
sation to him. Anthony Yoerg had a
mortgage for $500 on the place, and,
Ieimbach says, that Bruggemann
romised to take this up, and further
rromised to let the Heimbachs occupy
ne property as their home as long as
the old couple lived. But instead of
paying the Yoerg mortgage, it was
allowed to be foreclosed, the property
was bought in by John Bruggemann
nd he began proceedings to get pos
seSSlon. The present action was
Nrought to have this sale set aside, and
;lso the mortgage for $4,000, on the
'round that the sale was for the pur-
ose of defrauding plaintiff and the
mortgage was given under duress.

FOREIGN TROUBLES.
Gen. SanbOrn Thinks the Situation
Isn't Very Bright.

Isn't Very Bright.
Gen. J. B. Sanborn believes that this
country does not realize how critical
it's foreign relations are at present
Il can't see," said the general yester-
day, that Great Britain has officially
made any concessions as yet on the
Venezuela question. The secretary of
state received a very decided commu-
nication from the British cabinet to
the effect that certain important AM
erican claims would not be recognized.
The president then sends message to
congress, which practically intimated
that Great Britain was guilty of an
unfriendly act. He, in turn, suggests
the formation of a commission to set
tie England's claims in a manner that
would prove most offensive to Eng
land. The commission was appointed,
but it has received no official recog-
milton from the English government,
and all overtures for compromise Of
the situation on the part Of England,
so far as the newspapers explain, have
come from entirely unofficial sources.
II we are any nearer an agreement
with England than we were before, I'm
not aware of it.
"Then take the Spanish difficulty.
The queens cabinet has formally called
upon our government to disavow the
action Of the American senate in ref
erence to recognizing the belligerency
of the Cubans. The Spaniards express
ly stated that failure to disavow the
senates action would be considered an
unfriendly act towards Spain. But, of
course, no disavowal has been made
by us, and none can be made. It's true
Spain itself is a feeble nation, but
should we become involved in war, it's
more than likely that Spain would be
assisted by other and more powerful
nations. England is not the only coun-
try that is jealous of the increasing
commercial Importance of the United
States. Several nations would be glad
to see our progress receive set back.
"There was good deal of talk in the
senate comparing our action in refer
ence to Cuba with the prompt recog-
milton awarded by Spain to the bellig-
erent rights of the Confederacy. But
the comparison won't hold good. The
Confederates began the war by attack
ing an important fort with a battery
of 800 guns, trained by able officers.
When the Confederacy was recognized
by Spain the South had regularly
organized movement, a capital city, an
army of 100000 men or more, and a
treasury fairly filled. Between the Con-
federates then and the Cubans now
there was all the difference in the
world. I think Senator Hale, of Maine,
was about right when he suggested
that this country first find out wheth-
er the Cubans were much more than a
lot of guerrilla bands, armed rovers,
without organization.
people generally seem to make light
of our foreign troubles, but the stu
alton 1 have given is the way it looks
