The stay in Rome widens his esthetic views. and awakens, perhaps. the his toricaI sense, for Rome is a museum city.

 This mammoth ivory, far from ba- ing recent discovery, was known t0 the anGents, and had been used for centuries as an article of commerce and maqufacture. The records show that as early as 1921 ivory of this Kind to the extent of 10000 pounds was marketed in YIkutsl,, and that annual s3Ie5 in that city, from 1925 to 1881, averaged over 6O,OO0 pounds. h 1S40 pr.

FOUR WOUNDS BY ONE BULLET.
Private Lanes Experience in the Bat
 tie of San Juan.

1 Private Julian Lane of the 18th in ! fantry, which participated in the heavy 1 fighting at Santiago, has been spend ! ing few days in this city cn sick leave visiting relatives. Lane was wounded four times in the engagement
 Of July l, and the surprising part of it is that all four wounds were received ct the same time from the same bullet
 We were driving the SEaniards from the last trenches on the hilltops overlooking the city, he said, in tell ing the story, and the nature of the ground made il impossible to charge in
 anything like formation. So we went at it in rushes by handfuls. taking GOV ! CT between times as best we could. I had dropped behind a palm tree in one of the paUse5 and was lying on my left side, with my right leg bent at the knee and drawn up. was reaching for a
 cartridge, when along came a Mauer
 ball and passed through my hand, be- tween the thumb and index finger,
 without breaking any bones. Keeping On, it made a flesh wound on my right
 hip, went through my calf and took
 off the end of my third toe. making as clean a hole in the sole of my brogan as if it had been drilled with an auger
 T felt a sudden shock continued Lane, .'as if I had received a charge from an electric battery, but no par

 with bandage from my 'first-aid package and I crawiad under cover and lay there fer eight hours before the doctor get a charee to examine me. I suffered good deal, but I got the best attention there was to be had and was treated with the utmost kind ness. As you may see by the scar on my right hand, the Mausar makes very small wound and I bled hardly at all except for the wound on my tee. One of my comrades was shot clean through the chest and was out in five days. The 6n.y really ugly wounds that were made were when the bullet had hit something else first and came side-on- Tn such cases they tore a man all to eces.''-New Orleans Times-DemCc Ccrat.

PROBLEMS OF OUR WARS.
Always Some Awkward Question to Be
 Settled Afterward.

The peace following each Of the wars
 Of the United States brought delicate
 problems to the country. Wren Eng land, in 1783, acknowledged the inde- pendence of her late rebellious col
 onies, they were confronted with the
 necessity of creating the machinery of
 nation, with no example in the his
 tory Of any other country which would
 be of material service to them in the peculiar condition in whieh they founc:
 themselves. That problem was recog-
 nized at home and abroad to be so
 serious that many on beth sides Of the
 Atlantic looked for anarchy, the dis
 integration Of the country into three or four mutually hostile little nations.
 and the ultimate seizure of each of
 them by some European power or powers.
 The peace which succeeded the war
 Of 1S12-15 ended the vassalage. in a social and commercial way. which America held to Europe, revealed to us a set of strictly American aspirations ard interests altogether apart from the old worlds concerns, and forced us to' legislate for those interests Be- fore the war with Mexico was half over a problem appeared which lasted many times longer than that conflict, and which ultimately prec:pitated the re- '6sllicn- The problem -ade it's ap- pearance, whc-, in August, 1846, three morChs after the declaration of war. 'WIlmot proposed his r. .5viso exclud- ing slavery from all tie torritory to be acquired rom Mexico This brought the slavery issue to it's acute stage, iu- cited Cass's popular sovereignty and Douglas squatter sovereignty doc trines, forced, successively, the com promise of 1850 and the Kansas con test of 1854, killed the whig organiza- ticn, created the republican party, and led to the civil war
 Four years of fighting occurred in the civil war, but the contests in con gress which reconstruction caused, and the general legislation which was sequel to that adjustment, lasted twice this time, In fact, the thorough re- stOration of harmony between the sec tiCns was not accomplished until both fought side by side in the war against Spain.

In the case Of one of them (the Filipincs) we will fbe compelled to provide for a cerFetual dependency, which can never become state. But the United States has lad some. experience which may be of service in this contingency. The natives of Louisiana, Florida, New Mexico and California, at the time Of )ur annexation CT those localities, were l alien to us in training and ideals. The | Indians were still more hostile to our | deas and methods.
 The United States in the past hun fred years has, in dealing with alien races and lower civilizations, had a ! success which has been the marvel of | he wor.d. It will not fail in it's pres ! mt task.-Leslie's Weekly.

THE PRIX DE ROME.
An Ordeal for Art Students to Under
 go to Obtain It--How They Work.

An Ordeal for Art Students to Under I go to Obtain It--How They Work. A premise has been made to lodge art students competing for the Prix de Rome n the Palace at Compeigne, but has not as yet been kept. The ten selected to compete must mediate in cells at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. The ordeal to which competitors are sub jected was begun today. They are to
 work in solitary confinement during
 seventy-two days, but the first thir-
 ty-siX hours are the most trying. The cell is barer than any IF 1s monastery,
 where the crucifix relieves the blank
 ness of the walls. All the furniture
 would not fetch 100 francs at the auc
 tion mart. It consists of a mattress,
 pillow and bolster, e rush mat, an
 easel, 2 clair and a small table. There
 is nothing else. As light comes from abcve there is no outICok.
 The competitor is thrown completely
 upon himself but especially during the
 first three days. He is then deprived of all communication with the outside
 world and is to all intents and pur-
 poses in jail. The sketch of his com
 peting picture must be made in that time. He may subsequently modify
 his design, but must net change the
 main features. The figures are to be kept in their original attitudes, no fig
 ure is to be withdrawn, and the de sign is to be duplicated. One of the two drawings is sealed up and sent to a jury. The student keeps the other This done, the door of the cell is un- locked, the occupant can go in and cut, pay, but not receive visits, and is free to take his meals where he pleases. He may take his drawings to his master, and consult with him as to the best means of hiding general defects or en- hancing what is meritOrious by means of changes in detail and by effects Of color.
 It sometimes happens that there is duplicate, so that a copy may be given to the professor should he be disposed to work it up. But this is against the spirit of the rules. In point of fact, 1t is rare net to see the masters hand in the Prix de Rome paintings when they are finished and ready to be exhibited The subjects are chosen by the jury, and generally are classical or histori- cal. and demand what is termed here 2 noble style of treatment. Plutarch's Tacitus and Caesar are the great pur- veyors of subjects. Scenes from sacred l history are sometimes chosen. There is no more uninteresting exhibition than that Of the PriX de Rome. Sel- l dem indeed is originality shown. or the | promise of future excellence given. l Most of the pictures are. 50 to speak, l
