A Birds Friendship for a Boy.

1t is a rare occurrence for animals in
a wild state to select man for a COM
panion and friend, yet well-authenti-
Gated Instances when this has been
done are matter of record. The fol-
lowing instance is vouched for by my
correspondent, a young woman who is
close observer: Last week my
brother Ca lad of 12) killed a snake
which was just in the act of robbing a
song sparrow's nest Ever since then
the male sparrow has shown his graft
tude to George in a truly wonderful
manner. When he goes into the garden
the sparrow will fly 10 him, sometimes
alighting on his head, at other times on
his shoulders, all the while pouring out
tumultuous song of praise and graft
tude. 1t will accompany him about the
garden, never leaving him until he
reaches the garden gate. George, as
you know, is a quiet boy, who loves
animals, and this may account, in de-
gree, for the sparrows extraordinary
actions"
I am perfectly convinced that the
nesting birds on my place know me,
and that they remember me from one
nesting time to another. I have re-
peatedly approached my face to within
foot of setting birds without alarming
them. On one occasion I even placed
my hand on a setting cardinal. which

more business in four or five hours
than he could have executed in as many
months" Leaving him to represent
the last flicker of the renaissance in
Florence, We take the great step to
France and the nineteenth century and
find ourselves in the company of two
painters, very unlike in their concep-
tions of art and in their methods of
working: NJ. Bouguereau and NJ. Car
olus-Duran. Those who know the lat

swell portrait painter of the day." ac-
cording to Mr.. Brownell, will get a
very different idea of him from the pic
ture that we reproduce of THE Last
Hour of Christ" The composition is
slightly theatrical. with the heavy
storm clouds meeting over the desolate
landscape, and the wind blown figure
hanging between heaven and earth, but
there is splendid technical distinction
in the realistic treatment so far re-
moved from the realism of Rubens.
One feels the angry wind that stirs
the garments of the spectators, and
one sees as one really might have seen,
not the marred figure of The Descent
small in the distance, and infinitely
pathetic in the helpless droop of ITS
lines-far up beyond the grasp of the
agonized women, and buffeted by the
elements. The crowd, too, is a real
crowd, a mass of underlined and unde-
Enable faces and forms, with now and
then single figure starting out in
strong relief as the light plays upon
it. One of Carolus- -Duran's critics has
said of him that his painting is AL 'en
facade his charms are all exterior -
but if this is true of his portraits it
would be very untrue criticism of the
picture before us. Nevertheless, this
picture shows, together with Bougue-
reau's uninspiring Virgin, that religious
passion in art does not belong to the
nineteenth century. There is, indeed.
a sense of strong emotion in "The Last
Hour Of Christ" but it is the emotion
OF one who looks on from afar; not
that Of one who participates, who en-

How We Walk.

In The Literary Digest appears a
translation Of a review of Comment
on Marche" GLOW We Walk"), the
latest book on the subject by Messrs.
Regnault and Raoul. In this work it is
claimed that we have been wrongly ed
ucated in walking and that the erect
posture and firm step that we have been
led to believe were evidences of health
and strength are conventional and vi
cious.
NJ. Marcy, who wrote the introduce
ton to the volume, says that there is a
style of walking that enables one, with
out excessive fatigue, to 60 distances OF
from 90 to 20 miles in a third of the
time usually required. This may be ac-
complished by walking with the knees
bent and the body inclined forward, a
method which has been observed in pro-
fessional pedestrians, mountaineers,
peasants, hunters and soldiers fatigued
by long marches. In not adopting this
method, it is claimed that, as with al
the other acts of fife, we remain slaves
of conventional aesthetics

Never was a man more devoted to his

between two small street arabs which
had arisen over game Of marbles. Lis
tening with eager interest to the testt'

belligerent parties and their friends and
