KILLING PRESIDENTS.
Unhappy AIu~t Re the Rulers of the
Latin America

For the last wear Latin America. al
ways turbulent. has been the scene of
4 reign of terror compared with which
European UPRISING, are nowhere. Three
rulers have been aS>aSSinatcd. attempts
have been made ON the lives of two 9th

ends the career of Il man whose position
WAS founded on the murder of his OPP
poneuts. Central and South America
have been noted for years for the rap
idity of their revolutions in govern
ments. This everyone knows. but the
methods of the assa>Sins of presidents
have obtained but little attention.
In only one instance out of Il dozen
has there been Il spaSmodic attempt at
the murder of n ruler. When the two
martyr Presidents of the United States
fell there WAS no sympathy anywhere
with the aSSasSinS. Booth thought he
was doing the South Il service. but the
South repudiatcd him then and ever
since. Guteau's act was that of Il
crazed partisan. But when Il prcsi-
dent of republic in Central or South
America falls under the knife or the
bullet of the murderer the whole coun-
try. except the Immediate followers of
the victim, cXclaims: 1T is well. Now

\ year ago the President of Uruguay
was Don Iriarte Borda, the son of Il
Frenchman. and who by surviving half
Il dozen revolutions had reached the
highest position in the republic. Last
year he was accused of fomenting an
Overturn of the government. In April
n man fired Il revolver ut him at short
range. but missed him. The next month
another man tried unsuccessfully to
kill him with dynamite.
In August. however. his hour came.
AS he was leaving the cathedral at
Montevdco. after TIE Deum in con-
nection with the celebration of the I'D
anniversary of the establishment of the
republic. a youth named ArrUlondo
fired two shots at the president. who
died almost at once. The people of
Montevideo did not allow gayety to give
way to grief.
Senior Jose Cuestas. President of the
Senate. succeeded to the presidency of
the republic until the election in the
following March. In December an eX-
policeman tried to kill him, but the by
ISLANDERS warded him off.
The next ruler marked for death by
the assassin was President Diaz of
Mexico. Again national holiday was
selected for the commission of the
crime, Sept. IS being the Independence
Day of Mexico. The President had Just
left the line of the military parade with
his Secretary of War. when Il Mexican
named Arroyo struck the President on
the back of the head with his fist. Not
one of the Presidents of the republic

JAPANESE DESIGNS.
Largely tho Result of Their Methods OF
Teaching Drawing,


Tho question is often asked "Whcro do
tho japanese got the ideas from which to
produce the weird and fantastic designs
so often seen in their worky" Numerous
efforts have been mado to answer this
question, and tho Japanese have been al
tcrnatcly laudcd for tho beauty of their
work and condemned for its crudcncss
1t would appear That the system by which
tho japanese arc taught designing is
largely responsible for tho character of
their work. There is no race of people on
the face of tho earth, with tho possible OK
ccption of tho Chinese, who arc moro
painstaking or skillful in the work which
they perform.
The Japanese student who is taught
drawing is given small book in which
arc designs printed in small squares, and
these no reproduces square by square I'M
til he has graSpcd tho salient features of
each. Ho is then sent out into tho open
country and told to observe tho works of
nature spread out before him in all their
luXuriancc.
Finding some suitable object for his at
tcntion, he proceeds to reproduce the
Same, introducing perhaps some imagina-
tive details. 1t is right here that the sys-
tenn of squares comes i'll. Those elegant
stems, those fcathery petals which arc an
Ps'iSh'is thioNli tOScphcT NltNOuG re-
straint, are simply the particular feature
of the mass Of vegetation which he has So
lcctcd for this individual study. His long
course of study in this limo has given him
the faculty of following n single vino
through tangled undcrbrush and ignoring
all the rest of tho growth. The tortuous
course of this ono vine when brought ont
by his ready brush appears to the western
art critic as crude and without merit,
whereas in reality it is catchy and full of
interest.
The wonderful facility of tho Japanese
in the production of works of art, in tho
execution, the beauty of colorings and the
dclicacy of their drawings, is we'll known
While artists claim the designs of the Jap
ancsc, if critically examined, will be found
incorrect in form, proportion and CON
struction, these same critics freely conccdc
that in the failings mentioned arc found
tho very highest merits of tho japanese as
decorative artists.
Decorative art does not admit of abso-
lutte fidelity to nature. Slavsh copyists
lack imagination, without which they can
never be true decorative artists Tho very
science of the art is the power to convcn-
tionalizc nature whilo preserving the spirit
and following all tho objects represented
and this is where tho Japanese excel, as
gifted with wonderful Quickncss of per-
ccption and dclicacy of hand they seize
upon and reproduce with extraordinary
rapidity and power of touch the character
lstics of natural objects. -Upholstcrcr
