HIS OWN PORTRAIT.

How an Artist Paints Picture of

 lt has been common practice with artists of all ages and countries to paint their own pictures. and at the UtfizI gallery In Florence can be seen a magnificent collection of portraits oc the worlds great painters done by themselves. lt is a coveted honor to be Invited Co contribute ones own portrait Co this collection. for Oue must be emi- ueut before thiS compliment Is paid. AS may bc easily understood. painting ones own portrait Is a somewhat trou- blesomc task. for the painter must do a good deal from memory. especially lf he puts himself ln an attitude which it Is difficult Co reflect in a mirror. A straightforward portrait looking out Oc the picture Is obviously the easiest Co manage. for tue painter has only to place Che mirror in front of him Co see his model
 Triple and Quadruple mirrors must be employed when the attitude Is In any way ltilNNeN AANAA ANtt ANNNs tN profile would Ice more dithcult Co see for oneself. but a threc-quarter face would bc no less so. as in both cases the artist would bc working from a re- ncctlon of reflection. which. Co say the least of lt. Is a bothcrius condition.
 The looking at oneself for a long time Is one of Che strange and trying conditions of painting ones own DOT trait for difficulties and complexities appear Co grow the more one tries to grapplc with them. Like the road tc the tired traveller. which seems Co Iengthcn as hc goes, so the difficulties of paiutiug oneself appear Co Increase rather than diminish the more one looks at oneself

some parts "kragi." in others, again,

Doaconsrictor OF Guiana. The bird
IS called the kalon, or sometimes the

MeArdle in the forehead. He died in
half an hour. A few minutes later
Wells came up in the crowd which
had collected and inquired the cause

previous quarrel pointed Wells out to
an officer, who arrested him on sus-
picion and lodged him in Jail Another
spectator shortly afterward identified
