HOW WATTS WORKS.
Sfmpathizes with Those Whose Por-
traits He Paints.

S,mpathizes with Those Whose Por-
traits He Paints.
The secret of Mr.. Watts strange
power Of drawing into the faces Of
his sitters suggestions of their inner
being lies, no doubt, essentially in
his wide and sensitive sympathy
with his kind.
In the presence Of his sitters he
surrenders his own Individuality.
He has no wish to produce fine pic
=ture sealed with his own artistic
cachet, whereby everyone who looks
may say: ''This is a Watts" Of
course you can generally tell a
ii"Watts" portrait at once by it's
tone and color and handling, and
more certainly, perhaps, by a GER
tain sense of the presence of a real
person alone with his thoughts, Sc
Guided in veil as Of q special intel
,lectual atmosphere.
In all his works he regards his art
as only means to an end, and the
end of a portrait to him is a truthful
resemblance of the sitter, truthful
not only to the body but the mind.
In the Pail Mall Gazette Extra, No.
%, p. 10, will be found an interest
ing account of his way of painting
portraits, given in his own words.
In the course of it he observes:
SIN my imaginative work l con-
slider myself perfectly free as to de-
tail so long as I do not violate any
law; but not so, of course, in portrait
painting, when, while giving my
mental faculties full play, SO as to
seize my sitter's intellectual charac-
teristics. observe equally the phys
ical minutiso. To assist umyself I
converse with him. note his turn of
thought, his disposition, and I try
to find out, by inquiry Or otherwise
Gf he is not public man, or is 9th
erwise unknown to me), his charac-
ter, and so forth; and, having made
myself master on these details, I
set myself to place them on the can
vas, and so reproduce not only his
face, but his character and nature. 1"

TURKEYS SULTAN.
Busy from g A. M. Till Bedtime and
Pale and Thin.

A correspondent who has just re-
turned from Constantinople writes
the London Daily News that accord
ing to current conversation in that
city, the present sultan of Turkey is
one Of the most hard-worked men in
all the Ottoman dOminions. Rising
at six o'clock every morning his days
in the seclusion of the Yildiz palace
and gardens ore devoted to personal
attention to all the affairs of state
laii before him by the ministers.
He has been the means of establish
ing fifty thousand schools through
out his empire, not only for boys,
but for girls also, which is a strong
departure from the traditional
usage OF his race and people. Once
a week only does he present himself
to the view Of the people, to assure
them Of his continued existence and
health.
On one Of these state visits to the
mosque two or three weeks ago
his majesty was accompanied in his
carriage by Ghazi Osman Pasha.
The difference in appearance be-
tween them is remarkable. The
sultan is Of slight figure. A plain
brown overcoat conceals any decora-
tions he might be wearing. leaving
ell the attention Of spectators to be
directed to his pale, wan and care
worn face, half covered by thin
brown beard, tinRed with gray, and
surmounted by plain red fex. o.
man Pasha has q long, silver-gray
beard, q robust physique. He &C
knowledQed any remark made TO him
by the sultan with q military salute.

No Danger OF q Flood.

In refutytion of the goldite argu-
ment that the free coinage of silver will
''food our country with foreign sill
ver," Senator Bacon of Georgia says:
''The basis of the argument against
unlimited coinage is the alleged dan.
ger that with our minis open we
would be flooded with the silver of
the world. How could this occur?
Whenever the value of silver rose
here because of unlimited coinage, it
would rise correspondingly in every
market in the world. The world has
no silver to spare to US. On the con.
trary, the remainder of the world
needs more than Is made outside of
the United States. The remainder
of the world would not leave us all
of our own product for our own mlnts.
The proof of this Is incontestibly shown
in the fact that there has never been
single year since 1864 when our ex.
ports of silver did not largely exceed
our imports, showing that the pro-
duct Of silver outside of the United
States is not sufficient for the remand.
er of the worlds requirements. In
one year the excess of exports of sill
yer over imports exceeded S37, 900,
900, and even when the coinage under
the Bland-AllisOn act was in full
blast there was one year when The ex-
cess of exports of silver over imports
was more than $18, 900, 900, and an.
other year when such excess of ex-
ports was more than ST ,O00,O00
