A work OF nm OLD FIorentine Monk
and Its Lesson.


No building In the beautiful old city
OF Florence is of greater interest than
the ancient monastery of San Marco,
which is now the property of the Italian
government. In its gray plaza Sason-
arola preached the sermons which
moved all Christendom. He was dragged
cut of its cloisters to prison and to the
stake. The great Medicean princes
came to its quiet cells to hide, whila
they prayed, or. il may be, plotted new
tyrannies. The bell in It's old tower
has measured the hours through CEN
turtles OF Florentine history.
II is not these things, however, which
draw the stranger to the old monastery,
so much as a series of paintings on the
walls OF the cloisters and the cells
There are no pictures like them in the
world. They are the work of poor
monk who had a pious soul and the hand
of great artist.
To help his brethren To holier life.
he painted on the walls of their cells
| facing their beds, scenes from the life
| OF Christ, from His birth in the stable
TO His death upon the cross. On one
occasion he was hidden by the superior
| to paint notified marble slab, and SO
faithfully is II portrayed that the paint
| ing Is often mistaken for real marble.
| A well-known modern artist, having
visited Italy last winter, was asked
which of the great masterpieces OF art
be had seen there impressed him most
| He answered: FRA Angelco's painted
slab. 1t proved the sincerity of his de-
,otion TO art. The man who could paint
| angels was as faithful and Jealous when
il became his duty TO paint n stone, az
though his subject had been one or
transcendent merit"
The power Of great artist is proved
not by the size or loftiness of his sub
iect, but by the way he treats 1t, how
ever small il may be. Giotto showed
more skill in drawing n single letter
than many painters have displayed
upon huge, crowded canvasses.
God puts materials into the hands
OF every human being for one great
work. and that is the highest develop
ment of his own life. Each OF us woula
like to do this, and make life illustrious
in deeds that declare their Importance
to men, but the materials with which we
have to do seem meager and mean. A
dull brain, inherited disease, vulgar sur
roundings, what, we think, can the
longing soul do with these? II may be
that the dull stone is given TO us to paint,
not the face of an archangel.
God will not blame us for the mate
rails which He Himself has given. He
will take account only OF the way they
are used. 1t was the Great Teacher
who declared that it was he who had
been faithful over a few things who
was made ruler over many things

"What name, please?"

The boy departed rather obviously.
for he knew Mat his message was de-
cidedly irregular in a business Office.
People should give their names.
"a lady TO see you, sir" he said TO
Wentworth, and then. just as the boy
had expected. his employer wanted to
know the lady's name. Ladies' are not
frequent visitors at the Offices of an
accountant in the city, so Wentworth
touched his collar and tie TO make sure
they were In their correct position,
and. wondering who the lady was,
asked the boy TO show her in.
"How do you do. Mr.. Wentworth"
she said, brightly, advancing toward
his table and holding out her hand.
Wentworth caught his breath, took her
extended hand somewhat Imply, then
he pulled himself together and said:
This is an unexpected pleasure, Miss
Brewster"
Jennie blushed very prettily and
laughed a laugh that Wentworth
thought was like n little ripple of mu-
sic from mellow flute.

"Well, in the first place you may ask
me TO take chair, and in the second
place you may sit down yourself, for
have come to have long talk with
you"
The prospect did not seem TO be sc
alluring TO Wentworth as one might
have expected when the announcement
was made by girl 50 pretty and dressed
in such exquisite taste, but the young
man promptly offered her a chair. anc
then sat down with the table between
them. She placed her parasol and 8
few trinkets she had been carrying OF
the table, arranging them with som'
care; then, having given him time t'
recover from his surprise, she flashed
look at him that sent thrill TO thu
finger tips OF the young man. Yet
danger understood is danger hal
overcome; and Wentworth, uncon
sciously drawing deep breath, nerves
himself against any recurrence OF
feeling he had been trying TO forget
with but Indifferent success, saying
grimly, but only half convincingly, :
himself: "You are not going to fool m

are"

How NapoIeon Raised Money.

Napoleon had the lavish hand of a
parvenu, and his beneficiaries were not
grateful, and with ever increasing in
science were always craving more.
The system Of private confiscations or
forced contributions from individuals
had already attained vast dimensions.
During the winter OF 1sO0-10 IL was ex.
tended and regulated; the sums wrung
from German princes and Spanish
grnndecs, from English merchants and
the Italian clergy, was not entirely ex-
hnusted; the remainder, together with
what was "accepted" from the timorous
politicians, crafty ecclesiastics, sly con
tractors, and unprincipled financiers
was now erected into the dignity OF the
emperor's extraordinary domain" The
term "army chest" had been devised for
times OF higher public morality; II was
now discarded. Confscated palaces
forests, lands, fisheries, moneys from
the sale OF American ships-nn were
now tho cmperor's private property
