In these days of very personal Jour-
nalism, Rudolf Lehman, who attained
the age OF 81 on Aug. 10, can not be
said to be very well known to the man
in the street. Yet the veteran is the
most illustrious portrait painter liv-
ing, and the number of distinguished
people who have sat to him is simply
amazing. For example, there is the
Prince of Wales. who smoked a great
deal while undergoing the ordeal; and
other sitters have been Mr.. Gladstone,
the Duke of Cambridge, Pope Plus
N, Lord Tennyson, Cardinal Man
ming, Browning, and the present Lord
Warwick. who was then years old.
Mr.. Lehman also painted Lord Leigh
ton. when the president Of the Royal
Academy was about 20 years old. Lord
Leighton was born IL years after the
veteran artist and died four years ago.
Mr. Leamann was born at Hamburg,
and it was not till 1866 that he set
tied in London. For 16 years previous
~ he had lived in Rome. where some
of his pictures had become we'll known.

slSriads of Green Files.

The naphtha launch of L. A. Scott
Of Philadelphia came suddenly to a
stop recently in a swarm of myriads
of green flies along the lower Jersey
coast. The engine refused to run.
The force was turned off and an in
vestigation instituted forthwith, which
resulted in the finding of about two
gallons of green headers" tightly
packed into one of the air chambers
which fed the fiume with oxygen. The
flies had been drawn in by the sue
ton until they were as solidly packed
as powder and shot in gun barrel.
1t required an hour of patient work to
remove the mass of dead flies from
the hot cylinder and get the boat in
working order again.

English Milk Laws

The English pure-food authorities
are dealing strictly with offenders
against the milk laws, Mark Lane
Express mentions two recent cases.
In one the charge was that part of the
cream had been removed and the milk
sold as whole. The defendant denied
that it was either skinned or watered,
but was fined $40. In the other case
the use of boracic acid was charged
against several persons, and fines
ranging from SIS to $50 were imposed.
One of the witnesses, Prof. Boyce OF
University College, said that this sub
stance was highly injurious no matter
how small quantity was used. He
had experimental with kittens. and
found that even minute quantity of
boracic acid in the milk consumed by
them was harmful.

wife of Chinese Minister.

Nine. WI. wife of the Chinese min.
lister, is of lively temperament anc
quick to respond to either humor or
sentiment. She has become warmly
attached to several American women.
The Chinese minister is an accom-
plished linguist, but his wife is not so
clever in this respect. She speaks
just a little English, enough to meet
the ordinary exigencies of formal re-
ceptions. Fer accent is considered
charming. and she hopes in another
year to have added considerably to her
English vocabulary. She can carry on
a more sustained conversation in
French than in English. In her own
tongue she is a fluent conversational
list, and keeps herself well informed
on all the topics of the times.

n It Had Beer Flesh snd Blood ehs
Man Would Have rerished.
Mr.. West, a young man from Michi-
gan, who is q travelling salesman for
the Armour Beef Company of Chicago.
representing the Boston division, was
ia New Britain this week and in pass
ing along the street with a customer
they had occasion to cross the tracks
of the third-rail cars, says the South
Manchester News, The young man
and his friend were engaged in earn
est conversation at the moment, and
the New Britain man, supposing that
the stranger knew OF the danger that
turks in he third rail, did not sound
note of warning until the young man
placed one foot on the third rail,
when, realizing instantly what had
occurred, he shouted to the drummer
to beware. Without knowing to what
the shout referred and thinking that
it must have alluded to an approach
ing car or train, although he could
see neither, the westerner hurried to
step across the tracks and in doing
so placed his foot on another OF the
rails, thus completing the circuit. He
stepped quickly over unframed,
whereas his companion expected to
see him a corpse, as about $4,000 volts
of electricity were speeding through
the wires at the time. A lady who
CHANGED to be passing by on hearing
the alarm and in expectation of wit
Messing a tragedy fell in a swoon. The
sturdy young westerner, who had
never seen the tracks of a third-rail
train before, did not know what all
the excitement was about, and on be-
ing told of what he had done his blood
began to run cold and he said that
he never experienced such strange
sensation as came over him at that
moment He also stated that he did
not feel the slightest electrical shocs
while on he tracks. The explanation
of his almost miraculous escape was
in the fact that he had pair of CORK
soles underneath the leather soles on
his shoes, and these proved to be SUI
ficiently powerful as nonconductors to

~ current. He realizes that those are
the most valuable pair of shoes he
ever owned, or hopes to own, and no
doubt will keep them as an heirloom
in his family and pass them down to
his. posterity. On investigation it was
found that the leather sole was burned
where it came in contact with the live
rail. The young man says that there
/ are no third-rail cars or trains in the
west and that, therefore, while he had
/ read of such things in the newspapers
the fact had never made a serious i'm
I preston on his mind before. He is
not apt to forget this experience, how
ever. The young man was in town
here recently and gave the facts sub
stantially as stated to representa-
tive of the News.

Some would have US think that few
er eyes are looking upward in reverent
gratitude than in other days. But.
however this may be. feel sure that
more eyes are looking around in low
ing desire to help the needy than at
any previous epoch. And the happiest
thought of all is that these eyes are
young, observant and unwearied. To
endeavor along Christian lines to in
crease the sum of human happiness
seems to me to be not only the great
est, but the most evangelical thing in
the world. To begin to do is an end OF
controversy. The severed body OF
Christ comes back to unity the mo-
ment it ceases to preach and begins to
practice.-Frances e. Willard.
