For our own part do not think they are by
sometimes supposed TO be. and portrayed as

For instance q well-known civilian writer on
naval subjects incorporating under the title OF
"Nauticus" published lately a violent diatribe
on the gross and deplorable Ignorance OF British
naval officers. He described them "a being al
together behind the times; as comparing most
unfavoraby In point OF general knowledge WIN

with those Of the United States. They were
held up to scorn for not being men OF the
world" and for not being able to shine In so

sound scientific officers. 1t Is quite possible

A MADONNA or CORREGGIO'S.
ONE OF THE MASTERPIECES IN THE GALLERY
AT PARMA.

ONE OF THE MASTERPIECES IN THE GALLERY
AT PARMA.
Correggio is often patronizcd by hypercrtical
individuals as being a type Of "prettiness." He
is too sweet, they say: he is so elegant that he
\ lacking in deep spiritual significance. II there
were not some truth In this it would not be said
often. but it is not all true. Correggio is very
sweet but he is also very beautiful; his quail
ties lie on the surface but they are not. for that
reason, any the less attractive. The picture In
the gallery at Parma which shows the Ma
donna with the Holy Child in her arms ana
with st. jerome standing over them in pro-
tective attitude Is no doubt obvious" in its
charm, but it remains. nevertheless. one OF the
most glorious paintings in the world.
The color Of the Parmesan masterpiece IL
warm and delicate The impression conveyed
by 1t, and by the exQuisitcly graceful figures
upon which 1t is lavished. is comparable 10
the impression left by suave, limpid. Mozart
ian music. There is nothing profound in the
picture reproduced on the first page OF this
supplement. Put 1t beside the solemn Sistine
Madonna and ii looks almost weak. Correg-
gio never approached the sublimity OF that
renowned work. But he was one Of the most
human of all the old painters Of Italy he was
faithful to his models and painted his Madonna
as human mother. his Christ Child as an
Italian "bambino" Since his taste was ex-
quisitely refined he could do this without re-
tanning the smallest hint OF earthncss. He
hovers between the familiar ard the divine. sug-

than he to celebrate that idea for modern ap-
probation.

DISTRICT BADLY ARRANGED.
Leavenworth Bar Seek Reapportion-
ment of That Judicial District

Leavenworth. Jan. 25.-The bar of this
city is determined to secure a reappor-
. tionment of the Leavenworth and Atch-
ison county judicial districts. A bill to
this effect has been introduced in the
senate by Col Harris. Today a petition
was signed by attorneys setting forth
the reasons why Leavenworth judicial
district should be reduced. It is shown
that Atchison county, which comprises
a separate district, cast at the last cleo
ton 6,254 votes, while Leavenworth
county alone cast 8,3SS, Jefferson county
4,541 and Jackson 4,001 making a total
combined vote for judge in the Leav-
enworth judicial district of 1880,
against 6.254 in Atchison county.
The bill provides that Jackson coun-
ty should be added to the Atchison dis
trict, which would then give it vote
for judge of 1925, against Il, 929 in the
Leavenworth district, with Jefferson
ounty- The attorneys complain that ii
is very difficult to reach the end of a
case through the local courts, which
means a virtual denial of Justice to par
ties whose claims can only be settled by
the courts.A At the commencement of the
December term of the court there We're
346 cases on the docket, and since then
40 additional suits have been fled
