Boston alone can boast museum that
has any claim to represent American art
history, and even that representation Is
feeble and inadequate. Why is 1t that we
can furnish heat, light and lodging for
Bouguereau and Vibert, while no one
cares to take Gilbert Stuart and his con-
temporaries In from the doorstepS What
matter that West and Copley were imma'
ture paintersl So were Cimabue and Ho-
garth and Rene of Anjou. Some one had
to make a beginning, and West and Cop
lev were beginners of whom we have no
reason to DO ashamed. At any rate they
were our own, and II our improvement In
art has been rapid since their time, all the
more reason why we should preserve the
record of the growth.-Scribner's

CaNrlNo'S "FADS."
His Aversion to Proper French Pronun-
citation and the Letter II.


Some of Mr.. Canning's fads / we'll
remember For instance, he knew the
French language WELL but nothing could
induce him TO pronounce it properly. He
pronounced all the words as If they We're
English / know not what reason he gave
for this. or whether he gave any. 1t was
his way, and he would not alter 1t. He
had also some queer ideas about spelling.
He was greatly averse to the letter If and
have seen notes TO my father in which
the word fat was spelled 'phat," and other
words in "a similar manner. He asserted
that this was the correct method OF SPELL
ing.
/ will here endeavor to describe Mr.
Canning's dress. / well remember how
he was attired one evening in the summer
time-nankeen tights narrowed toward
the ankle, and fastened there somehow;
nankeen waistcoast, blue, perhaps about n
shade darker than Oxford bluo tail coats
a broad plated cambria frill all down the
shirt front; his watch in "fob, F" or little
pocket in the trousers, with his chain and
seals dangling. Il forget whether he had
a gold chain or the more common ribbon.
1 incline to think 1t was a ribbon. A
stiff ''watered' ribbon, generally blue,
was much worn at that period) The
morning dress had the some sort OF coat,
but real trousers, not drawn in at the
ankle.
At the period l am speaking OF, ABOUT
1919 or 1920, gentlemen generally wore IN
the evening knee breeches, black, with
long black silk stockings, and very small
buckles Oh their shoes, but very soon after
that date all the young men In the evening
wore trousers, leaving the other costume
| to their elders, and speedily the generality
of the elders followed suit But for rid
| ing, as even to this day in the hunting
fields, shorts and topboots We're common,
| though l never saw my father In these,
| great rider as he was, as he always rode III
trousers fastened under the feet WITH
leather straps. Soon these straps became
the fashion for gentlemen all day long
Gradually, very gradually, the frock coat
superseded the 'swallowtaiP' for morning
wear, the blue sometimes changed to
brown, and the gilt buttons disappeared
to give place to such as are worn to this
day. BY the year 1924 or 1925, think
mems dress was very much as it Is now
except that the waist is now rather longer
but it was not so short in old days as th'
caricaturists make it out to have boen.-

BEES FOR A MASCOT.
Strange Pets of a Relief Boat Crew and
How They Were Taken.


Relief boat No. 16, which spends most
Of her time at the lighthouse station on
Staten Island, has swarm of bees for
mascot. The relief boat, like all others of
her kind, is likely to DO ordered out at any
time to take the place of lightship In
need of repairs She may have TO go To
Sandy Hook, or even as far away as Bren-
tons reef, near Newport, but usually she
Is at St George under waiting orders.
One day, year ago last summer, Captain
Murray, her skipper, heard a great buzz
ing in the air, and looking up he saw
cloud of bees making directly toward him.
Being unused to such apparitions he ran
into the cabin and awaited developments.
The bees lighted on the port rail, near the
gaDgway, forming bunch which APP
peared to the captains eye to be bigger
than peck measure. Before the captain
knew what had become of them they dis
appeared from sight, and then he found
that they had gone through hole and
made themselves at home in the side OF
the vessel.
The captain and crew soon became used
TO the company of the bees, and thought
nothing of having dozen of them buzz
ling around their heads at once, for bees
seldom sting unless molested. One day
! the vessel was ordered out to relieve the
| lightship at Sandy Hook, and for nearly
| two months the bees were buffeted about
on the water, but they seemed to thrive
on the diet of brown sugar provided for
them by the sailors, and never became sea-
] sick.
An unlucky day arrived, however, when
bee fancying friend of the captain offered
| to purchase the queen of the swarm and
tried to drive her from her stronghold by
| the use of tobacco smoke. The bees re
| fused 20 be driven out, and denser smoke
was created with gunpowder and Other
fuel The result was that all the bees were
| suffocated, and they were taken out after
ward from the bottom of vessel with 0
dipper.
The captain and crew mourned sincerely
for the loss of their pets, and every sailor
heart of them shuddered secretly at the
thought of going to sea after they had al
| lowed such manifest defiance of Provl
dence to occur on board their vessel. Thel
surprise aud pleasure were therefore un
bounded when, few days later, anothe
swarm was seen in the rigging, apparent
Iy looking for a place to alight.
otis good luck'' shouted the captain
and this time, instead OF running away
he spread out some brown sugar on
white sheet, as he had been told by nj
housekeeping friend to do in such emer
gencies placed a soapbox on edge over tn
sugar and began beating tin pan to at
tract the attention of tho bees. His effort
were not in vain. With little persuasio
the bees entered the box and made them
selves at home, where they remain to TIL
day and may be seen by any one who Ia
the curiosity to visit the picturesque ligh
house station. The box has been naile
to the side of the vessel, and holes haN
been bored in it, so that 1t Is now as con

THE ICE AGE.
There Were Cold Days In Those Times OF
Universal Frigidity.

For centuries the north was an Ice
locked land, and conditions of life had
changed. From the pole to the southern
ice limit not one mountain projected Its
head above the unbroken snow. Even
Mount Washington was deep down under
the surface.
Manhattan Island lay buried at leass
I. 600 feet under the ice A wild, weird
stiffness rested over this favored spot IN
terrupted only by the crashing of the Ice
as pieces broke from the end or the glacier
beyond the Narrows and, as icebergs,
fioated out to sea.
Ages had now passed since man first
appeared in his primeval homo. Some
progress the race had made, but man was
still rude and untutored savage. His
crude weapons were only pieces of roughly
Clipped stone, but it was man with pro
pressiye and endless mind. And as the
wears passed the rude paleolithic ancestor
gave place to men with higher degree
of primitive art. Flint tipped arrows and
axes of stone now gave man the mastery
over every animal Food was no Longer
n matter of chance. but "a matter OF skill
Still at war with the elements, wild beasts
and savage neighbors, it was fearfu

no garden of Eden.

its various advances and retreats, covered

THE HONEST TURKS.
A Valuable Diamond Ring That worked
Its Way Up From the Ranks.

Its Way Up From the Ranks.
The following is u characteristic anec-
dote:
When the batteries of tho lngour were
taken. the first soldier who entered, per-
ceiving Russian colonel lying dead upon
the ground, pucked off his glove and APP
propriated valuable diamond ring which
was upon his finger Knowing, however,
that it would be impossible very long To-
keep secret the possession of SO valuable "a
prize, he showed his usbashi, or captain,
his treasure and requested permission TO
keep it.
The usbashi told the man that he was.
quite right to bring the prize to him, and
that henceforth it should be transferred tn
the finger of the said usbashi.
The soldier, not satisfied with this ar
ranpement, referred the matter TO the
bimbashi or major, who said that both ne
and the usbashi were highly culpable IN
| daring to retain the ring from their SUI
| perior officer, and that he would therefore
relieve them of the subject of dispute
From the biinbashi the solder went to
