Why They Cheered.

DR.. Whewell, master of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was great but I'M
popular man. When he entered the sem
ate house, it was the i'll hammered prao-
tice of the undergraduates to begin a
loud and continuous whistle.
"How this originated l do not know, +"
writes Dean Farrar in his book "Men I
Have Known. 'There were two leg
ends about it. One was that it intimat-
ed that the master would have to whis-
tie for bishopric; the other-equally
absurd-was that when some one had
asked him how to pronounce his name
he had said, You must shape your
mouth as if you were going to whistle. ~"
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness of
heart. DR.. Whewell's wife died. He
had been tenderly devoted to her, and
when he attended chapel after her death
the undergraduates were touched by an
"old man S anguish and strong man S
tears -
"When next he entered the senate
house, writes Dean Farrar, "there was
dead silence For the first time for
know not how many years not a whis-
tie was heard, and then moment after
ward as by spontaneous impulse the
whole crowded mass of undergraduates
in the gallery burst into loud and
long continued cheer. 1t was not aston
ishing that such proof of sympathy
should move the heart of the great mas
ter or that the tears should run down
his cheeks. do not think that he was
ever whistled at again.

A Great Awakening.

Richard, why do you wish to stay

evening"
"Well, my dear, 1 have been keeping
my word. "
''But this is only the third Sunday.
1 think you ought to tell me frankly
why you do not wish to 90. Is it that
you have ceased to love me SO soon?'
"No, Susan, it isn't that at all. The
fact is, l can't stand your favorite
preacher; he is too dull for me. "

PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Critic Who Says That 1t Has Lowered
the Standard of Art.

Has photography accomplished any
thing? Yes; it has cheapened art great
ly. 1t has lowered the standard with a
public that instinctively prefers the
sham and the machine made and the
microscopic. 1t has reduced the artist
to demoralizing struggle with the
amateur simply to get his bread and
butter. In the beginning of the century
England was celebrated for it's beauti-
fully illustrated books, in which the
greatest artists, engravers and printers
collaborated to produce a perfect
whole. Today the place of these books
has been taken by The Strand Magazine
and The Sketch, thanks to the services
of photography: In The making Of books,
however, the tendency has always been
toward the survival of the cheapest, and
the cheapest-usually the newest-has
always interested artists for awhile,
though for other reasons than it's cheap
ness.
Steel engravings succumbed before
wood engraving and TYPOGRAPHY, and
they, in turn, have succumbed to the
oheapness of the process man. In many
ways until lately process was a great
advance upon any other form of repro
duction. Now process block makers are
mostly photographers, who are killing
each other in the race for cheapness. I
do not want any one to think would
imply that photography is not useful to
the artist. On the contrary, it is, and
especially in illustration, since it pre-
serves the illustrators original design
for him. 1t enables the architect to get,
at small expense and without the trou-
BILE Of going to see and draw them, bits
of detail in foreign lands though this is
questionable advantage. The worlds
greatest architects managed very well
without it. One critic has said that if
photographers would turn their atten
ton to the recording of historic events,
like the jubilee, or of vanishing build
ings they could do an immense service
to art. In one way this is true, in an
other it is not
Surely this critic would be the last to
suggest that the cinematographic pic

to one picture Of procession by Carpac-
clio, painted centuries before we had any
photographs. No doubt %, 900 artists
would be required to secure as many
views Of the jubilee procession as were
obtained by the cinematograph, and
their employment might have been too
much of good thing. But if, say, half
a dozen accomplished artists had been
and allowed to do what
they wanted, might we not have had
record of some artistic Importance? AS
to the photographing of old buildings,
which would the architect rather have

that there is seldom one of them who
smokes. Soldiers and sailors accustomed
to smoking and who have lost their sight
in action continue to smoke for short
time, but soon give up the habit. They
say it gives them no pleasure when they
cannot see the smoke, and some have
said that they cannot taste the smoke
