Charles Noel Flags Of New York tells
interesting stories of bohemian life in
Paris i'll the seventies.
Il was at Honfeur one summer"
said Mr.. Flagg, when the Daubignys--
father and son-were there. have al
ways thought Daubiyry the strongest
and sanost landscape painter in the Bar
bizon group, and it was interesting to
see how he worked and low he taught
his son. This son was Il man of brilliant
talent, who died soon after, unfortu-
nately. He would take an enormous
canvas out into the field and cover it in
an hour and half-this was to get
composition, massing of light and shade,
etc.-acd then his father would come
and critiCise 1t. Some of these big swift
things Were shown i'll the salon after
ward. The painters used to contribute
Ill one way or another to the fine Old inn
where we stepped, ard the landlord
wanted young Daubigny to paint the
panel of Il certain door. At last the
painter promised to do it The next morn
ing. resolved to see that thing done,
SO got up b'tCro dawn, planted myself
in the old dining room at q good point
OF view and pretended to sketch from
the window. Pretty soon young Dau-
bigny cane down professed to be not in
the least disturbed by me, SO I staid.
He sat down i'll front of the door and
looked at it hard for an hour or so.
Then he got up and viewed it from diff
ferent angles Then he gazed at it from
the end of the room. Then lie sat down
again. The hours came and went, and
still he was studying that door, with
scarcely pause for meals. By afternoon
l was nearly wild; if he didn' t open his
paintboX soon, would smash the door.
AT last, at the beginning of twilight,
presto!-I was too excited to see. All
IN minute Il few lightnings flashed out
from him, and there was the miracle!
And breathlessly 1 realized that he had
been painting that picture all day -

Skilled watci,ra.sers Will Not Work By
American Methods.
It is most interesting to compare the
different methods by means of which
the highest grade Of mechanical perfec-
ton is attained in various countries
Notwithstanding the high character Of
American watches, for example, the
finest Swiss watches will retain their
great reputation The Swiss workman
receives the parts from the manufacturer
in the rough, takes them to his home,
puts lis best individual skill into the
finishing and assembling and brings the
completed watches to his employer.
The latter inspects the work, and out of
a batch of, say, 90 watches he selects
five or six as worthy of his attention
and puts the others into the regular
trade under some general trade name.
The selected watches he readjusts, work.
ing over them for days, weeks and
months before he considers them worthy
TO bear his own name, and it is these
watches which go to those who not only
have the money to buy, but also the
patience to wait.
A prominent firm Of American jew
elers. chatting under the Inconvenience
Of this old world method of doing
things, sought to introduce American
methods and see if the highest grade of
Swiss watches could not be made more
methodically. A factory was built, en-
ticing rates of wages We're offered to the
most skillful workmen, and the expert
ment was tried. But, alas, the Swiss
workman soon fornd that no regular
wages could pay him for his loss of lib
erty. To be on hand when the whistle
blew in the morning, to have his stated
hour for dinner and his fixed hour for
quitting at night-these restrictions he
could not long stand. Formerly he had
worked when he felt like it and stopped
when it pleased him, and when he was
paid for one job he took his own time
TO begin the next, generally waiting
until his funds ran low. The factory
plan did not wor- for long, and the idle
building low bears silent testimony to
the Swiss love for Independence, which
is as much factor in present life as it
has been i'll past history.-Cassier' 8

An Automatic image CT Satan,

There are many curicsities in Paris
which it is not given to everybody to
see. Thus in the old Cluny museum, On
the Boulevard Saint Michel, there is q
most realistic prcsentnent of his satanic
majesty inclosed in an artistically carved
case. The exterior Of this article of fur
niture, for suclr il is, is decorated with
finely painted head Of the Saviour,
bat on touching q spring the picture re-
calling heaven is replaced BY the figure
Of the evil one. Satan is seen inside a
niche advancing with terrible grimaces,
while at the same time SORT OF musical
box or small organ inside the case emits
tempestuous sounds.
The figure Of satan in the Musee
Cluny is only shown with the greatest
reluctance, as the conservators ordered
it to be kept hidden, owing 10 the fact
that on one occasion when it was being
exhibited 10 the public lady tainted

she saw the devil advancing toward her.

rord's WONDERLAND THsArgn.

Lew Dockstader appears to be as
popular as ever in New Haven and
crowds fiocked to hear him. And he
is certainly as bright and brilliant a
comedian as he was in the old days
when at the head Of the greatest min
strel organization that America has
ever produced he used to appear here
at millionaire prices Dockstader has
not allowed his art to deteriorate; he
is even a more finished artist than of
old The witty monologue that he is
giving at the Wonderland, with its
bright references to local topics and its
comic songs, will compare with the
best that he ever gave. The company
that surrounds him is one of the best.
Among the artists are Milton and Moul-
ton (the latter a New Haven lad who
has just returned from a trip around
the world,) the American Trio, Block
som and Belmont, the Sanford sisters
Smith and Campbell, the Fries broth
ers, and Mr.. and Miss Carbon. 1t is a
show that is highly enjoyable and Won
derfully popular.
