A ROMAN PICNIC.
An Incident of the Life of a Great
Painter.

An Incident of the Life of a Great
Painter.
On the sad occasion of the death of
Lord Leighton an august parsonage
wrote of him, and justly: ''rhere was
something even greater than his work.
and that was the man himself" A
pretty incident of the great painters
early life is told by Giovanni Costa.
In the month of May it was the GUS
tom formerly for all the artists in Rome
to indulge in picnic at Cervara, u farm
in the Roman campagna. There used
to be donkey races, and the winner Of
them was always the hero of the day.
On one of these picnics we had halted
at small town three miles out of Rome
for breakfast. Everyone had dismount-
ed and tied his beast to paling, and
all were eating merrily. Suddenly one
of the donkeys kicked over a beehive.
and out flew the bees to revenge them
selves on the donkeys.
There were about 100 of the poor
beasts, but they all unloosed themselves
and took to flight, kicking up their
heels in the air-all but one little dom
key, who was unable to free himself,
and so the whole swarm fell upon him.
The picnic party also broke up and
fled, with the exception of one young
man with fair, curly hair. dressed in
velvet. who, slipping on gloves and ty-
ing handkerchief over his face, ran
to liberate the poor little beast. had
started to do the same. but less reso-
lutely, having no gloves. So met him
as he came back, and, congratulating
him, asked him his name.
His name was Frederic Leighton

A new book of 1S5 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally a legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way tG speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples s
Party, and the rapid circulation OF this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cents
We haze special arrangement with the publish
ers by which we furnish subscribers the
book for 10 cents.

MUD DIET OF LONDON.
A Scientific Person Publishes Son
Astounding Statistics.

Astounding Statistics.
There is nothing Ike dealing with
large figures and no doubt the state
ment by a scientific person that London
crs drink in the course of a year 1000
tons of mud will appear to many to
disclose terrible and most dangerous
state of things, says the London Stand
ard. Nothing could be further from
the truth. A thousand tons of mud
would mean, perhaps, about half a
pound of mud to each person. 1t will
be certainly not too much to assume
that each half pound of mud does not
contain more than two ounces of solid
matter, probably much less. Now it is
certain that in the course of three or
four windy days in March each person
in the air all day will draw in fully an
ounce of dust, as much as he will swal-
low in water during six months. A
railway traveller who takes few hours
journey in dry weather has but to look
at the state of his coat and of the car
riage seat to form an idea of the amount
of dust that must have entered his
mouth, the majority of which on touch
ing the palate and tongue is converted
into mud and swallowed Thus, then,
it will be seen at once how many in
finitesimally small and how absolutely
innocuous is the daily portion of this
1000 tons of mud swallowed by Lon
doners and how little cause there is for
alarm in the array of figures piled up
by the scientific Investigator, who may
frighten weak-minded people but does
not in the slightest degree affect the
ordinary man or excite in him any
feeling whatever save Indifference.

When two men are brought constant

About two months after the concert

He was just about to close his books

coat, when the sound of voices in the ad-
joining room, which happened to be

draw back and listen attentively. The
partition between the two walls was so
thin that he was able to hear distinctly
every word that passed between the
partner and the detective.
1t may be wondered why Mayhem de-
sired to overhear the conversation. He
lid so simply because he made prac-

a chance. In days gone by he had
picked up one or two valuable tips"
