LOVE MAKES AN ARTIST.
The Wonderful Accom- mplish ments of q

The WOnderful laccOmpltshmehts Oh IL
Blacksmith.
The great artist, Matsys, was once a
blacksmith at Antwerp, but dared to
love the beautiful daughter of painter
who was inexorable.
"Wert thou a painter" said he, "she
should be thine; but blacksmith
mever!"
The hammer dropped from the young
blacksmtth's hand; he unused and
dreamed and thousand glorious con-
ceptions passed like shadows across his
brain.
II will be painter" he said, but his
soul was cast down and he trembled at
his own ignorance. His first efforts re-
assured him; he drew, and the lines
portrayed the loved and lovely face en-
graved on his heart. Twill paint her"
he cried, "love will inspire mel"
He gazed upon her until his soul be-
came drunk with her beauty; in his
wild enthusiasm and inspiration his
colors fell rapidly on the canvas until
they formed wonderful picture of the
beautiful girl. Showing his work to
the astonished father, he said: There
claim the prize, for am painter!"
He exchanged the portrait for the
original, continued to love and to paint
became distinguished among the sons
of art in his day, and, dying, was buried
in the cathedral of his native city,

A typographical Mix.

1t was an Irish newspaper, according
to Macmillan's Magazine, that once
published this highly defamato9y para
graph: "Dr. F. has been appointed
resident medical officer to the Mater
Misericordia hospital. Orders have
been issued by the cemetery committee
for the immediate extension of G!as-
nevin cemetery. The works are being
executed with the utmost Dispatch
1t is perhaps unnecessary to explain
that two paragraphs about quite diff
ferent matters had got mixed"

A vERlTAeLE SAINTS REST.
XiIitIn District in Mexico Free from
Locked Doors and Thicves.

Locked Doors and Thieves.
"If person wishes to see an ideal
saints rest" said l.. A. Downing, to a
Chicago Chronicle man, che should visit
the Xilitla district of the Mexican re-
public. The people there belong to the
Huastecos tribe of Indians. They are
said to have been among the bravest
opponents of Cortez. They are clean,
honest and industrious. No doors are
locked in Xilitla. Coffee planters go
away and leave gems and all manner of
personal property in their houses. but
lose nothing.
"When l call the Huastecos industri-
Gus the Huastecan standard of industry
must be borne in mind. Four days there
make a week of labor. The Indian does
that four days work for one dollar. If
he were paid two or four dollars he
would work only four days, and arch
aeologists suppose this custom to have
come from the habits of the ancient
people. The dollar is paid in advance
on Sunday. Payment insures the deliv-
cry of the four days work before Satur-
day night. If the work is not done the
Indian is defaulter in the light of local
laws, and is thrown into Jail. On Sun
day Nilit,a has population of 5000,
but on Monday not 200 Indians are
found in town. The others are out on
the plantation. Their day commences
with daylight and is kept up as long as
they can see. In that latitude there are
about 1G hours of daylight, so that the
laborers put in about Ga hours of labor
as against 54 hours customary in the
United States"

sAwpusr EXPLOSIONS.
The ottawa River Is the Scene of
Queer Upheavais

The Ottawa River Is the Scene of
Queer Upheavais.
Who ever heard of sawdust expio-
sions? They are common enough in
Canada. Navigation on the Ottawa
river has been seriously impeded at
times by explosions of sawdust, and
the Dominion government has at last
decided to take steps to prevent any
practice which will enhance the possi-
bility of these explosions taking place.
One would hardly suppose that saw
dust dumped into the river would in
course of time reform itself into a
gas generator which would keep the
surface of the stream in a constant
state of upheaval. But it is true to
such an extent that small boats have
been capsized and large vessels have
been injured by the submarine convul-
sions.
The bottom of the Ottawa river is
covered with deep layer of sawdust
dumped there by the lumbermen who
have carried on their log cutting in
dustry on its banks and tributaries for
years. The dust becomes water-soaked,
sinks to the bottom, and in the course
of time, rots and generates highly
explosive gas. The water rises to the
surface, each bubble being joined or
re-enforced by other bubbles On the
way up. Contact with air seems to be
as destructive as touchfire to this gas
and the moment the surface is reached
it expiodes with a loud report. Leg
islation may in time do away with the
annoyance, but even if no more saw
dust is thrown into the stream, hence
forth the millions of tons already there
will take long time to work eff their
gas-generating qualities.

Buffalo Bills Day.

Once Senator representing it's
people in the halls of Legisla-
ture; a Colonel of it's State troops; a
soldier and scout whose invaluable
services to his country have been
attested by every general of the
United States Army during the past
thirty-five years; Colonel w. F. Cody
will return to the metropolis of the
State he has so honored and receive
the very great honor of having Au-
gust 31st set apart by the Commits
sioners of the Great Trans-M ississ-
ippi Exposition as w. F. Cody Day
at Exposition. By singular and al
most poetic coincident he gave the
very first exhibition of his Wild
West upon the very grounds where
the Exposition is now. Colonel Cody
will be in Omaha two days, August
3Oth and 31st, with his his world
famous exhibition, Buffalo Bills
Wild West and Congress of Rough
Riders of the World. w. F. Cody
Day at Omaha will be superb
tribute to the honored son of a
State. 1t will be red-letter rate
day on all railroads, and it is be-
lieved by many that it will bring
more persons to Omaha than any
other day during the Exposition.

YANKEE Doodle.

After the representatives of Great
Britain and the United States had
nearly concluded their pacific labors
as Ghect il making the treaty of
ceace which ended the war Of 1919
the burghers of the quaint old Dutch
CITY determined to give an enter
tainment in honor of the minis
ters. They determined, as part of
their programme, to perform the
national airs Of the two powers.
The musical director was sent to
call upon the American ministers
and obtain the music of their ma
tional air. A consultation ensued,
at which Bayard and Gallatin ia,
vored Hail Columbia, while Clay,
Russell and Adams wanted CYAN
kee Doodle.
The musical director asked if any
of the gentlemen had the music.
None Of them had it, Then he sug-
gested that perhaps one of them
would sing or whistle the air.
II can t, said Mr.. Clay. II new
er whistled or sang tune in my
life. Perhaps Mr.. Bayard can"
Neither can IL answered Mr..
Bayard. Perhaps Mr.. Russell can. :"
Mr.. Russell, Mr.. Gallatin and Mr..
Adams in turn confessed their lack
of musical ability.

and, ringing the bell, he summoned

gentleman.
John did go, the chief musician
noted down the air, and at the en-
tertainment the Client burghers'
band played the national air of the
United States with variations.

Ny wife and are trying hard
To live on healthful diet.
We read the food chart by the yard
And run our kitchen by it.
We've banished from our bills of fare
All that such guides condemn.
True hygiene is all our caro-
AS planned and taught by them.
For breakfast coffee is tabooed,
Hot cakes and eggs forbidden
And milk, since it is oft imbued
With germs profuse, though hidden.
Bread is unwholesome; SO is steak.
Submissive to our lot,
Oatmeal and graham gems we take,
And drink boiled water hot.
For dinner soup will never do,
And oysters typhoid nourish.
Salads, entrees and ices, too,
Are mere dyspeptic flourish.
Potatoes (by the last advice)
Are poisonous, we're told.
We eat rare meat, chopped fine, with rice
And drink boiled water cold.
For supper-some professors teach
tbs best to go without it,
But since discretion's left to each,
We take our choice about it.
On chicken, watfies, tea and cake
We are forbid to feed,
But gluten waters, cocoa (weak)
And prunes are all we need.
II grieves us much our friends to view
So reckless in their diet.
Our wholesome menu we pursue
And beg OF them to try it.
But appetite's ungodly sway
Their nature so enthralls,
We cannot get guest to stay
