Raphael. with genius at his back, did
not come to maturity SO quickly, nor
did Rubens, triumphant at Antwerp,
hold popular applause SO long; for
Lawrence kept his admring public to
the last. and was something Of a won
~. sa.l as man and boy, says the
Cess..seIy. His whole career was bril-
liaf.s. yet not through intrinsic force;
his ait was successful without being
great; he was honored and praised
down to his grave, and yet he possessed
not genius. There are men who
achieve popular success without genius.
Lawrence was one of them. The father
was a man of some birth and eduea-
ton, but what is called the poetic
temperament and never got on very
we'll in the world. He was at different
times a barrister without a brief, an
actor without a part, a keeper of the
White Lion inn at Devices without
guests enough to make It pay. When
young Lawrence was 8 years old his
father made a change of base and
moved into the Black Bear inn. 1t
was here that the boy was placed upon
table to recite Shakespeare for The
guests. Here, also, he developed a
wonderful gift of making portraits in
pastel of the passing public. A guest
could have portrait painted while he
waited, and the speed of the artist was
not less wonderful than his age. The
duchess of DeYonshire and Lord and
Lady Kenyon were among his early
sitters, and the record is preserved that
Lady Kenyon's likeness was drawn in
profile, because, as the child artist de-
elared, "her face was not straight ="
In a short time he had attracted the
attention Of Garrick, Foote, Wilkes.
Burke, Sheridan and Johnson, and his
father began travelling with him about
the neighboring country and exhibiting
him as one of the wonders of the
age.

PRINCE OF MONACO.
Has Made sood Terms fer Himself

Has Made ssood Terms fer Himself
with the Casino Company.
Ten years have elapsed since Prince
Albert assembled the throne of the
Grimaldi amid q pageant which re-
called the middle ages, says the Cen
tleman's Magazine. The reigning SOW
ereign, who is 81 years old, was ed
ucated as naval officer. and has
served in both the Spanish and French
navies, taking part in the Franco
Prussian war of 1870. In England he
is known for his papers on ocean
oSraphy; in France he has lately made
himself conspicuous for his letter to
Nine. Dreyfas; at home ne is regard
ed as very shreWd man of business,
who has made excellent terms for him
self with the Casino company. So far
the most important event of his reign
has been the renewal of NJ. Blane's
original concession, which would have
expired in 1913, for a further period
OF fifty vars from that date.aThis new
privilege will have cost from first TO
last million sterling in hard cash
paid to the prince; an annuity rising
every ten years. till it will reach
100000 in the last decade; a new
opera house, to cost 6 SO 600, and, as
a recognition of the artistic tastes Of
the prince. sum of $1,000 for each
Of ten special representations at the
theater. He also receives, as may be
seen from the balance sheet of the
company for last year, an additional
grant eff 100000 for his law courts,
police and army of seventy-five men
and is also a large shareholder in the
concern. Besides all this. the Casino

ious to stop it. Round a table some
men are smoking. At the head sits
a man with flask of wine and a glass
before him. He is the president of
the party. All the company, includ-
ing the president, have paid for that
flask of one, but not one of them can
drink drop of it unless the president
gives permission. He, however, may
drink as often as he likes When ne
passes the glass to another that other
may drink until the president cries
"Stop" and the glass is passed to the
next. Sometimes the Stop" comes
before single drop is drunk. This is
the fun for the others who are allow
ed to drink. A good-natured president
rarely repeats this joke, but it some
times happens that he has a grudge
against one of the men. and then the
unfortunate victim sits the whole eY-
ening, smoking and frowning, while he
sees all the others drink but himself.

THE RAISING OF osTRicHEs.
Five Farms Now Carried on in the
United States.

Five Farms Now Carried on in the
United States.
There are now five ostrich farms IN
the United states-two in California,
one in Texas, one in Florida, and ons
in Arizona. The last named, although
the youngest. is the largest and moss
fiourishing in the country. 1t IS To-
Gated near Phoenix, and the Salt river
valley seems well adapted 80 the At
rican ostrich No protection whatever
is required for the birds during the
winter. They Craze the entire year in
the fields, the same as horses and cat
tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The
man in charge of the Arizona farm,
who spent 10 years handling ostriches
in South Africa, says the birds do just
as well in the Salt River valley as in
Africa, and that the climatic and other
conditions surrounding them here seem
as well adapted to their requirements
as those existing in their native home
After the birds attain the age of four
weeks there is little danger of their
dying from natural causes for many
years. It is not positively known how
long an ostrich will live under normal
conditions, but there are birds on South
African farms which are believed to
have reached or passed the century
mark, many of them having been in
captivity there over fifty years. Most
people have the idea, obtained, prob
ably, from their old Biographies when
they were children, that the female
ostrich, after laying her eggs in a nest
scooped out of the desert sands, COW
ers them up with the sand and leaves
them, trusting to the heat Of the sun
to hatch them. This is not the fact.
The birds always pair off during the
breeding season, the male bird making
the nest by resting his breastbone on
the sand and turning slowly round and
round, scratching the sand away with
his feet until a shallow hole is made,
some three feet in diameter and about
foot deep. The female then lays, usu-
ally, is eggs, and the birds take turns
sitting on them, the female sitting
during the daytime and the male at
night, except that the male allows the
female about an hour in the middle OF
the day to feed, when he takes hes
place on the nest.-Boston Herald.

IS A THING OF THE PAST.
Long Horned Steer Took Too Much Space
and Held Too Decided Opinions.

and Held Too Decided Opinions.
Ten years from now the visitors at
the stock yards in Chicago will look
at the massive horns nearly six feet
from tip to tip that hang over the
doorways of Offices and hardly be able
to believe that they were taken from
the head Of a beef critter" ON the
Texas ranges, and that hundreds of
thousands of cattle with such horns
once ran half wild on the ranches and
plains of the Lone Star state. For the
passing of the long-horned, long
legged, uncertain colored and still more
uncertain tempered Texas steer is a
thing Of today, and in his place one
finds a steekily built, red or roam ami
NAL, with short stubby horns, or no
horns at all. The Texas steer of to-
day is not properly descended from the
Texas cattle of the past. He has SIM
ply supplanted the others on the
ranges. and the former animal has
either migrated farther south or has
gone out into space and is no more.
The improvements it most certainly
is-has been brought about in many
ways. The first great change came
when the cattle man decided that car
space that could be filled UP by good,
salahle beef was more profitable than
that taken up by the picturesque horns
of the Texas steer. and began to dehorn
the yearlings and young steers. More
could be gotten into a ear, as they
could stand closer together, 1t was
but step to then begin to improve
the quality by crossing the cows with
fine bred bulls, Durham Hereford and
Angus. and the Texas steer of 1900 will
compare very fayorably with the cat
tie in Missouri. He has taken on
weight, and will average 100 to $50
pounds heavier than in former days.
