The procession Of the king was led by
the general of the vanguard superbly
dressed, supported by retainers on his led
pony and followed by crowds Of digni.
tarjes, each with his train, soldiers, men
carrying aloft frames Of arrows reaching
nearly across the road, and huge flags Of
silk brocade surmounted by plumes Of
pheasants; servants in rows Of 100 in the
most delicate shades Of blue, green or
mauve silk gauze over white; halberdiers,
grandees, each with q retinue of banner
men; rows Of royal banner men, carrying
yellow and blue silk flags ~emblazoned;
oavalrymen in imitation gold helmets
and medieval armor and tiger hunters,
wearing coarse felt black hats with conical
crowns and dark blue coats, trailing long
guns.
With scarcely a pause followed the presi-
dent Of the foreign office, high above the
crowd on q monooycle, a black wheel sup
porting on two uprights q black platform
carrying q black chair decorated with q
leopard's skin, the occupant Of which was
carried by eight men at a height of eight
feet from the ground. After this,
borne high aloft by 40 bearers clothed IN
red, in a superb chair Of red lacquer, rich

to keep of the sun, came the king, whose
pale, languid face never changed It's ex.

zone ane Sunday afternoon In spring !
was strolling along one Of the main thor.
oughfaros; Of Lisbon when the shouts p
merry chatter Of q lot Of little boys and
girls attracted my attention to q Side
street. The children. all nicely dressed,
were coming down the side street ats
brisk walk, evidently interested in some.
thing that was being, carried along ~
three or four Of them. When they reached
the corner, / saw that the center Of inter-
est was q very small brass studded coffin.
The lid was open, and I could see the lit
tie flower deoked and bedizened corpse IN
side OF It.
"Another timeI mistook the corpse OF
. child on its way to the grave for q waxen1
image Of the Madonna being carried IN
procession. It was q little dead girl beau-
tifully dressed in white satin and wearing
q white veil and white flowers. The little
body had been made to sit up In q chair
which four boys were carrying or their
shoulders. The bearers and the other
children in the procession wore white rib
bons and white flowers, all emblematio Of
innocence and happy confidence that the
soul Of their little friend was in paradise. "

A Losing Joke.

Mr.. Jones was clerk in q city office, and
owing to the jealousy OF his fellow clerks
was daily subjected to many petty annoy
ances. One day his enemies thought they
had hit on a plan which would amuse
them and add to Jones' discomfort. The
next morning when Mr.. Jones entered the
Office after another came up and said to
him in q tone of horror:
"Why, whatever is the matter with yous
Are you illP You look simply CHASTITY"
Mr.. Jones sat listening quietly for q few
minutes. Then suddenly, to the surprise Of
everybody, he got of his stool and slipped
into the managers office. A short time
only had elapsed when the manager ap'
peared, followed by Mr.. Jones, and. ad.
dressing the astonished clerks, said:
"As Mr.. Jones is 80 unwell I have grant
ed him permission to take a day or two'a
holiday; % you must divide his work
equally among you until he %returns."-

Refreshing sleep.

Sleep, refreshing sleep, has a wonderful
influence. It Is the time which the vital
force uses to repair the system, to assist d.
gestion and to prepare the whole being for
the labors Of a fresh day. Even ':40
winks'' In many cases is a great benefit,
and in many cases of fever and nervous
troubles patients should seldom be aroused,
unless it is absolutely necessary, to adj
minister medicine. Opiates, when given,
frequently but mock the patient with q
seeming relief, only to result in some ag-
gravation Of the trouble. They more or
less paralyze the digestive organs, prevent
vital repair, goad the brain into feverish
dreams and leave the nerves irritated and
finally depressed rather than rested.-New
York Ledger.

BENJAMIN WEST.

How the Great Painter Brought
About a Revolution I'm Art.
Before the days of Reynolds, Gainsbor-
ough and Constable English artists did
not expect any n to pay such prices for
their pictures as for those Of foreigners, or
oven to buy anything but q portrait.
"What could I do with its'" an English
connoisseur is said to have replied to q
gentleman who had asked him why he did
not purchase a historical picture he great
ly admired. "You surely would not have
me hang up a modern English picture in
my house unless 1t were q portraitI"
Tho aus Of this low estimate of Eng
lish art may Se seen in the facts mention
ed by Mrs. Bell in her life and Works Of
Thomas Gainsborough." She says that
the first attempt made in England to rep
resent a modern historical event exactly as
it occurred was made by Benjamin West
In his famous picture Of the death OF
Wolfe" exhibited in 1871.
Such was then the rage for NEUROLOGICAL
subjects that when it was rumored that
West was painting a picture in which the
actors were represented in modern COS.
tune George III, the archbishop of Cam
terbury and members Of the Royal academy
declared that they would have nothing to
do with the bold innovator.
Sir Joshua Reynolds andthe archbishop
visited West in his studio to urge him to
olothe English and French soldiers in the
costume of antiquity. West refused, say
ing that the event to be commemorated
happened in the year 1868, in a region un-
known to the Greeks and Romans and
when no warriors who wore classical cos
tune existed. His visitors went away, but
returned when the picture was finished.
Reynolds seated himself before the pic.
ture, examined it for half an hour and
then, rising, said to the archbishop: "West
has conquered. He has treated the sub.
ject as it ought to be treated. ! fetract nv
objections. I foresee that this picture will
not only become popular. but will occasion
q revolution in art"
i The picture turned the time against the
olassioism which had prevented English
artists from producing original pictures.

ough alone, represented their sitters al
