mean more 10 those who had it hard in
this world than to those who had il
easy. That banquet IN David's palace
meant more to Mephibosheth than TO
any one else, because he had been poor
and crippled and despised and rejected
And that man who in this world is
blind will better appreciate the light of
heaven than we who in this world had
good eyesight And that man who in
this world was deaf will better appreci-
ate the music of heaven than we who in

Mrs. Hetty Green In Politics.

"Her whole nature has been revolu-
tionized," said a Washington hotel
keeper, speaking Of Mrs. Hetty Green's
reported intention of spending 81, 000,-
600, or $50 much thereof as may be
necessary, to elect her son governor of
Texas.
81 never knew anybody to loosen up
as Mrs Green has of late" continued
the bonisace. About Is months ago,
when she came ON here, she haggled
with me over the price of one of the
cheapest rooms in the house, and actu-
ally made me give her a reduction be-
cause she staid week The next time
she came she had on the finest sort of
dress, such one as nobody had ever
seen her wear, and this time my house
was not good enough for her, so she
went to the highest priced place in town
and never asked the rate. Her liberal
streak was late in developing, but if her
son does go into politics it will be a
fortunate thing for him that his mater
changed her system in the way of things

The Spanish Main.

We write and talk glibly enough of
the Spanish main, but when did the
phrase first come into use and what was
its exact geographical significance? The
prevalent idea, borrowed, we take it,
from the delightful romance of "West-
ward, Hop seems to be that the phrase
was in common use among the Eliza
bethan sailors to signify that part Of
the great American continent on which
the Spaniards had effected a settlement
when we first broke into the Caribbean
sea-that is to say, from Vera Cruz, in
the gulf of Mexico, to the delta of the
Orinoco But we cannot find that the
phrase was in use at that time. In the
pages of Hakluyt we read of the main,
of the firm land, which is, of course,
literal translation of the Spanish term
''tierra frma" of the mainland coast,
of the coast of the Indies or of the
West Indies but of the Spanish main
we have nowhere read.
Nor have we been able to find it in
the writers Of the next century. Dam
pier does not use it, nor Lionel Wafer,
nor the translator of Exquemelin's 'De
Americaensche Zee-Roovers., 1t is not
to be found in Morgan's official reports
of his buccaneering exploits, nor in
Ringrose's narrative, nor in Sharp's. In
the map engraved for Dampier S "Voy
ages" (1729), the term firm land is en-
ployed to designate the territory now
occupied by the republics of Venezuela
and Colombia. The original TERRA firma
of the Spaniards, according to Ulloa,
included only the provinces of Veragua,
Panama and Darien, with the City of
Panama for it's capital.
We may be in error, and certainly we
do not profess that our researches have
been exhaustive, but the earliest use we
have found of the term the Spanish
main is in ''The journal of Admiral
James," lately published by the Navy
Records society, where, on Nov. IL,
1879, the admiral notes that he 'bore
away for Truxillo, ON the Spanish
MAN," Truxillo being the port of Hon
duras. Macmillan Magazine.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.
A Device Invented by an Electrical Ex-
pert In New York.

4 peru LII NEW hoThs
A New York inventor has perfected
device for transmitting pictures by
means of electricity, like the telegraph,
from one point to another.
For years scientists and electricians
have devoted great deal of their time
to trying to perfect some such method.
The result of successful elimination
to these experiments would have mil
lions in it. The royalties obtained from
newspapers alone would make the in
ventors fortune in the first decade of
its use, and its gradual adoption for
other uses would follow. Thomas
| o. Brien, an electrical expert of New
York, has worked out plan which
seems to him to be entirely feasible, and
he will in the near future demonstrate
its practicability or its reverse by trial.
The scheme provides for two disks,
carrying needlelike points, situated in
different parts of the circuit One of
these disks will be at each end of the
line, and the principle upon which the
points will work and be located is anal
ogous to the interrupting points on the
receiving and sending instruments of
the telegraph. The disks will be caused
to move spontaneously by means of cleo
trio connections to the same circuit. The
negative, which contains the picture to
be set, is specially prepared. The gela-
hin film is nonconductor, and this
will be mounted on some substance
which is a conductor
AS every one knows who is familiar
With the rudiments of photography, the
action of the chemicals used in the de-
Yelopment of sensitive plate after ex-
posure either tears away entirely or re-
duces to an imperceptible thinness the
dim in places wherein the positive pic
ture is heavy and shadows appear
Where the high lights are the film is the
thickest.
Therefore, with the negative film
mounted on copper base, the electric
current would be interrupted where the
film is thick, and where by the process
of development it has been removed
the current would pass through to the
copper and become record and pass
ing over the wire be recorded at the
other end.
These disks will revolve at the rate Of
1000 revolutions minute by means
of mechanism impelled by electricity.
The negative will be given a lateral
motion of about six inches in one min
ute, and it will be seen that, should
there be six points on the disk, 1000
lines will have been copied during the
minute and recorded at the other end of
the circuit This would mean that
copy had been obtained containing lines
finer than 100 to the inch, which is made
much finer than the lines of an engrav-
ing. The synchronism of the disks could
be regulated by means of small induc-
tion coils, which would be influenced
by small electro magnets specially con-
nected with each other and placed
around the periphery of the fywheel,
governing the motion of the disks in
such manner that the impulse given
the wheel would coincide with the in
terruptions of the circuit taking place
within certain time. -New York

Leigh Hunt.

Leigh Hunt was not an immense talk
er like Coleridge and Carlyle, wit like
Rogers and Sydney Smith, an authority
and an opinion like Johnson and Hal
lam, a detailer of "reminiscences, a
chronicler, an accepted critic of art and
letters, an asker of questions, an arguer
for victor-all acknowledged species in
the category of takers and good in
their place-but talker who was never
tedious because he was always fluent
and graceful and talked with, not only
to, his company. And when he sat
down with his conversational pen to
talk about his life he was not in a
hurry for the printer and could call
upon memory and imagination to repro
duce the good company he had kept and
the memorable things which he had seen
and heard.
Leigh Hunt gives us in his autobi-
ography not only his own life, but, what
is the chief charm of good biography,
picture of the time as well as the
man. We should not care so much for
even Boswell johnson" if we did not
find him i'll the company of Burke,
Goldsmith, Sir Joshua and his other
playmates. Hunt always kept good
company He was the intimate friend of
Shelley and Keats-above all of Charles
Lamb; the associate of James and Hor-
ace Smith, of Russell, Campbell. Charles
Mathews, Theodore Hook and a score
besides; of Byron, whose brilliancy
scorched him; Of Coleridge, whom he
quizzed and admired of Wordsworth,
whom he quizzed and respected. To
have had such friends is a sufficient
testimonial to his genius and his heart.

Portrait Painting.

The modern practice of having por-
traits of individuals seems to have
sprung up naturally enough with the
popularity of easel pictures, and this
again was much influenced by the in
PRODUCTION of oil painting. Whether
Antonello of Messina really acquired
the art from the Van Eycks or from Lu-
cas- of Leyden, as some have conjectured,
is very doubtful, but it was certainly
he who introduced the new art process
into Venice, whence it spread all over
Italy.
We have now come to the full devel-
opmant of the art of painting that sprang
up toward the close of the fifteenth CEN
fury, and which was chiefly embodied
in four great men-Leonardo, Raphael,
Michael Angelo and Titan. All of these
were great portrait painters in the true
sense of the term, with the exception of
Michael Angelo, who seldom conde-
scended to easel pictures and who never
worked in oil.
The great advance made by the six
tenth century painters over the pre-
raphaelltes was III the much fuller
utilization of the resources of chiaros-
euro. Up to this time the colors used
were mostly clear and light. and only
so much shading was introduced as was
necessary to give relief to the figures.
The value of shadow in itself was hardly
appreciated-in fact, the whole concep-
ton of painting was to show everything
as far as possible in full light.
The great innovator in this matter
was Leonardo. Being, as he was, as
much a man of science as painter, the
problems of light and shade interested
him in both capacities, and he investi-
gated them in something of the modern
spirit. By the aid of the knowledge thus
acquired he succeeded in giving to his
figures a roundness and relief that had
been hitherto unknown. In fact, he car
ried it so far that they are sometimes
overmodeled. Nineteenth Century.

of California, and a remarkably popu.

boys were called by his name in each
county. Governor Perkins heard Of CIV.

theirs and mothers imagined the rich
young governor was generously giving
up hundreds of dollars in recognition of
all these compliments. But instead of
settling on the spot, Mr.. Perkins wrote
letters to every pair of proud parents,
in which he said all manner of nice
things, and ended with a flourish of
promises as follows: "When George
Perkins Smith is grown, let me know,
and I will send him to college," He
never imagined that hc was goins to be
a senator from California, with ambi-
tions for reelection, l 5 or Is years Ia
ter. But there he is, and those letters
are coming home to roost. Already four
young men named George Perkins

put in their claims for college educa-
tion at the expense of the former govern
