Prince Henry * b Gutenberg. IN paint
Ing during the same year TOO Late,
a picture representing the return
march OF General Stewart from Metam-
neh, the artist reverted to military
episode in the Sudan campaign. Queen
Victoria so greatly admired the paint
ing that she desired to possess repli-
ca of it, but the artist begged leave to
paint an entirely different version of
the scene, imparting improvements
which finally resulted in the beautiful
work known as THE Death of General
Sir Herbert Stewart in the Desert"
This was exhibited at the Royal aca-
DENY in 1883 before it was hung in
Windsor castle.
One of the most interesting trips Ca
ton Woodville made at this time was
on the occasion of his accompanying
Sir William Kirby Green through Mo-
rocco and across the Atlas mountains.
A rich collection of sketches was the
result, while. a fine water color of an
episode in the patio" of the caid's
residence in Morocco city representing
the trial of a woman for breach of
martial VOWS while being guarded by
handful of soldiers, was much admir-
ed at the time. Another important
tour was made when he accompanied
Prince Albert Victor through India,
and in spite of the distractions OF daily
festivities and of elephant catching,

tions, he found time paint two life

able extract makers are perfectly
harmless, being concentrated extracts
of pure fruits, and only little practice
will render one perfectly familiar with
their use In planning dinner or
luncheon the best effects can be pro-
duced by selecting some color scheme,
which should be carried out as far as
possible, not only in flowers and china,
but in the dishes served. When select
ing color the time of the year must
be considered 1t is not only essential
that the flowers selected should be in
season, but that the general color
scheme should be in keeping with the
weather, for example, red needs
crisp, cold days to make the color eff
feeting and pleasing and therefore out
of place in the late spring or summer.
Yellow lights up brilliantly, combines
well with other things, and is easily
carried out at any time of the year,
as is pink. This color decorates es-
pecially we'll and makes an attractive
table The combination of green and
white is perhaps the most appropriate
table decoration for warm weather
In selecting the menu, materials must
be chosen that will conform to the
desired color, and it will spoil the eff
feet to use too deep coloring.

THE BRITISH K|PL|NG
Of TIC BRUSH.

England's greatest war artist is r.
Cation Woodville. In his own land he
has been called THE Kipling OF the
Brush" The title is not tmpertinent.
No war painter of the century has i'm
parted more truth, more realism and
more dramatic action to stirring deeds
on canvas than has this man. Every
hair of his brush must have been
plucked from the head Of the war god
himself, for he shows the battlefield as
it was never shown before. His pict-
ures of the South African campaign
have been the best pictures dealing
with the struggle between the Boer and
Britisher that have been sent back
from the front. His drawings have ap-
peared in many English and American
publications, and perhaps no pencil
has done more than his to show the
outside world just what war Is at short
range.
Military art is essentially cosmopol-
itan in its manifestations, and again
and again this British battle painter
has shown, just as did his French rival,
Detaille, that he is as keenly alive to
the valor displayed by his country's
enemies as he is to the heroism of the
British themselves.
In appearance Cation Woodville is
more of the soldier than the artist. In
fact, for short time he was a volun-
teer himself. He wears bristling
military mustache and carries himself
like general. When not actually en-
gagged in his studio or in making local
color sketches, he spends his days out
of doors, tramping over the Norfolk
fields with a gun, or pig sticking and
tiger hunting in India. Fortunately
for him, he was just at the beginning
of his career when the Servian war
gave him his first chance of seeing an
actual battlefield, though he had al
ready been well prepared for depicting
the horrors and tragedies of warfare.
Although born in London he had
spent his childhood in St. Petersburg,
and in the polemical air of the Rus
sian capital he inhaled as child the
war spirit in art. His youth was spent
in Germany, and there, too, in the
studio of Wilhelm Kamphaussen, the
court painter to the late William l,
the flower of his genius had still fur

your hand, after washing it carefully,
then put it in a clean granite porcelain
kettle, one that is free from any stains
and pour over very little boiling wat
er; cover light and let it stew few
moments, then drain off the coloring,
strain through a tea strainer, or a
coarse piece of cheese cloth.
The seasons figure to some extent
in the use of wines. Lighter grades
are preferable for summer, but care
should be taken to see that they are
sound. Where there is much fruit
stronger wine is permissible. In warm
weather, wine and water, with small
piece of ice in it. is luxury in every
sense of the word. If a small dinner
is given it is quite proper to offer
single wine of fine quality and better
by far than to set out three or four
of inferior grade. Many persons pre-
fer single wine at a dinner to
number of different kinds, which are
never sure to harmonic. There is
nothing better than a genuine, undoc-
tored claret, for, in addition to giving
the proper relish to meal, it will
probably be approved by the greatest
number of guests. But be sure to have
it good, which advice, of course, holds

Their opportunities to expand. He was
a pupil of Won Gebhardt at Dusseldorf
for some time, and it was not until 1876
that he returned to London. At the
outbreak of the Turco-Russian war the
young artist hurried off to the front.
Of all modern conflicts the struggle of
1873 was, from the pictorial stand
point, one of the most prolific in strik-
ing incidents and picturesqueness and
the young artist was wise enough ito
make hay while the sun shone."
The following year Cation Woodville,
when but % years of age, broke into
the Royal academy with his remarka-
BILE picture of Frederick the Great on
the Eve of Leuthen." "Leuthen" was
hung on the line, an honor very rarely
accorded to new man. 1t represented
Frederick and his staff riding into
camp, where his regiments were all
gathered out of their environments pre-
pared to march out and do cattle on
the morrow. The critics decided it
was the best battle picture of the year,
and from that date Woodville's reputa-
ton was established. He then dipped
into artistic journalism and illustrat-
ing, anu since that day has divided his
time between painting huge canvases
and drawing pen and ink and pencil
sketches for the illustrated papers.
In his second great picture Woodville
deals with 1.-The Second Fight Before
Kandahar," in which the Ninety-sec-
ond Highlanders and Second Gurkhas,
under General Macpherson, bore them
selves so CALAMITY. His next year
academy picture was the famous Say
ing the Guns at Maiwand" which was
bought by the corporation OF Liver
pool.
A broken ankle prevented Woodville
from witnessing all the events of the
Egyptian war of 1882, but he was able
to gather sufficient notes to supply A.
de Ncaville and himself for their SUBJ
seqdent pictures of "Tel ell Kebir,"
which they painted against time and
which resulted in an artistic race be-
tween them in point of production.

BIGGEST BEARS IN WORLD.
EFrom the Chicago Record

IFrom the Chicago Record.l
The biggest bears in the world are to
be found on Kadiak Island in the Gulf
OF Alaska, south of the great shoulder
OF territory that stretches out into the
racine; and DR.. Frank Baker of the
Smithsonian Institution has sent Ell
wood Hofer, a we'll known guide and
hunter of the Yellowstone Park, to
eaten one or more of those great mon
steers Tor the National Geological Park.
The kadiak bears are of the polar breed,
perfectly white, with long, heavy fur,
ana at full growth are twice as large
as the black bear of the Rocky Noun
talns, weighing from 2,400 to 5000
POUNDS and standing as high
ordinary cow; and are the biggest
carnivorous animals living. The tracks
they leave in the snow have often meas
ured fifteen inches long and ten inches
wide. They are very savage and fight
desperately when attacked. Several
have been killed, and the skins have
been brought to this cocntry, but no
kad1ak bear was ever captured alive
DR.. Carlton H. Bean, the fish expert,
who is in charge of the department of
hSherIeS at the Paris exposition, while
making an exploration of the fishing re-
sources of Kadiak Island last year, saw
good many of these bears, and de-
scribes them in graphic terms. He says
that while climbing rocky hill one day
ne saw large drove of them near the
coast running about and playing like
so many lambs. There must have been
$50 to 200 in the bunch, he says, and
some of them were enormous.
Elwood Hofer takes with him to
kad1ak trap which he has used with
great success in catching wild animals
IN the Yellowstone. The trap itself
weighs about three tons, and is sent
in sections to Kadiak, where Hofer will
take it into the interior, set it up and
bait 1t with honey or a pig, if the latter
can be obtained. Bears are uncommon
~ fond of pork, and a pig when impris-
Oned in a trap makes a demonstration
which attracts the attention of the
bears at a longer distance than the odor
of the honey The bear is usually a very
shreWd animal, but those on the Kadiak
are unsophisticated and unfamiliar with
the tricks of the white man, so Hofer
thinks they will walk into his trap
without hesitation, and when they get
in there once there is no possible way
for them to get out. He expects to
catch several of the monsters, but pre-
ferS the young ones, because they are
more easily acclimated in a new coun-
try and can be more readily handled
than those that are full grown. He ex-
poets to have difficulty in getting the
animals away from the island, because
there are no docks or landing places,
and steamer is compelled to anchor
that the bears win have to embark in
canoes If the water Is calm he may be
able to float them over to the side of the
vessel on a raft and hoist them to the
deck with a sling.
Hofer is a man with ingenuity and
great resource, and the Smithsonian
people are quite sure that he can get
a Kadiak bear down here if anybody
can.
