time the award Of medals and honors was
announced For fifteen years a gold and
bronze medal has been given annually to
the best two groups of six drawings made
by students in the school. three of which
must be from life and three from casts.
This year there were nineteen competitors,
not one of whom could be counted out of
the race All the work shown was strong,
earnest and sincere, and evfnced both faith
full study and excellent teaching. Many of
the cast drawings were exceedingly real
istic, and the studies from life were strong
ly modelled and markedly individual. All
were serious studies. displaying not only
conscientious draughtsmanship. but also
an admirable understanding of the prin-
ciples of light and shade. Never. perhaps,
in the history of the school has the stan
dard been higher.
The work of the water color class was
given the south wall in the hemicycle,
where 1t made attractive group and
could be seen to the best advantage. All of
these ninety paintings were of flowers and
still life, beautiful interpretations, possess
ing in a large measure those qualities
which are termed artistic, well as an
atmospheric feeling that makes the most
comely object truly picturesque.
The prize of $25 in gold for this class was
awarded to Miss Pierson for two water col
ors of white roses, and paintings of many
varieties Of this most difficult of all flowers
to portray made the most notable feature
Of the exhibit. By Miss Castle and Miss
Saunders they were also pictured with a
fidelity that is seldom seen in students
work, in that they were subtly real rather
than artificially study of dogwood
by Miss Castle was also very knowing and
atmospheric.
A group of tiny miniatures Of still life
was Interesting and remarkably well done
and many admirable larger life compost
tions were shown by Miss Thompson, Miss
Morgan, Mrs. Holbrpok and Mrs. Kraft.
All the paintings, however. were worthy of
special attention and praise, being handled
with great freedom and breadth, yet with
care and apparent thought.
Some of the work Of the sculpture class
was also exhibited in the <hemicycle, and
proved deeply interesting as well as novel.
That by Miss Alice Barton Hills was spe-
cially forceful and promising.
In the school room opposite the hemi-
cycle, in which the prize drawings of the
succeeding classes are hung, was shown a
varied collection of the students work
clever portrait sketches, some pen and ink
work, several unique pastels, two or three
excellent still-life studies in oils and draw
ings made in the antique, life and night
classes, which were not entered in the com
petition.
The entire exhibition was excellent and
must be most gratifying to those who have
the interest Of the school sincerely at
heart.

Assume an easy position, with the hands
resting over the abdomen. Take long,
slow, but easy and natural breath, in such
a way as gradually and gently to lift the
hands outward by the action of the abdo-
men. At the same time slowly and gradu-
ally open the eyes SO that at the md of
the inspiration they are wide open and d.
rected upward. Let the breath out easily
and naturally, letting the hands fall in
ward as the outward pressure Of the abdo-
men is withdrawn. At the same time let
the eyes drop and the eyelids naturally
fall by their own weight. so that they are
closed at the end of the expiration. Do

Impossible at the Price.

A certain parvenu of great wealth
has hanging in his drawing room a
large and hideous daub in oils which
some dealer in Paris induced him to
buy. He is very fond Of taking call
er by the arm, leading him before the
canvas and saying:
"Great picture that. By Macaroni di
Vermicelli, you know. Paid $4,000 for
it in Paris and got great bargain.
f." tnaming an eminent artist says it
is worth 100000"
A few days since this gentleman was
lunching at the Artists club when the
cat came out of the bag. Some one
said:
'F., old Centpercent says that you
have appraised that frightful night
mare Of his at 100000. Is it trueY'
The artist answered smilingly:
II will tell you how that happened.
He asked me to dinner one day and aft
er we left the table took me to see the
picture and told the usual story. Then,
turning abruptly, he asked:
"'How much is that painting worth 2
why, Mr. CenlpercenI, Salu i, l
really would not like to place value
upon it.
"Well, I'll put it differently said
he. How much would you charge for

The French Cavalry at Sedan.

Both banks Of the Givonne were in
German hands; so was Balan, a small
village nearer to Sedan than BaZeilles,
and soon after o'clock no fewer than
426 German guns were hailing shells
into the French army, which stood in
close formations within a space meas
uring less than two miles in breadth or
depth. Out of this terrible cauldron Of
defeated troops about this time rode
the French cavalry in a heroic endeav-
or to turn the fortunes of the day and
retrieve the honor of France.
General Marguerite, called by some
"the star of his ARM" was struck in
the face by a bullet while riding out to
reconnoiter the ground before he charg-
ed. He now handed over the cavalry
command to DE Gallifet, who for the
second time on that tremendous day
led the flower of French cavalry
against the enemy and for the space of
half an hour charged the German
ranks again and again on the hillsides
north of Sedan.
But the courage Of the gallant horse
men was all in vain. The arme blanche
was unequally matched against the
breechloading rifle held in steady
hands, and no effort Of the French
cavalry could withstand the slowly

possibilities of Chicago real estate and
amassed fortune by investment. DR..
Pearsons is shrewd financier, and
his ability in that line was of good
service to the city of Chicago during
his term as alderman in 1876. DR..
Pearsons is married, but he has no chill
dren. He seems to have adopted the
fortune before his death.
DR.. Pearsons seldom or never gives
money to his proteges without requir-
ing that they exert themselves to raise
supplementary contributions. This he
does as an incentive to self help, and
in the great majority of cases his
method has met with splendid success.
Nothing pleases Dr.. Pearsons more
than to receive letters from young men
who have been helped to an education
by his philanthropy.
Naturally Dr.. Pearsons is besieged by
appeals for assistance, frequently
fraudulent But he is never deceived,
for he is shrewd and well able to tell
the false from the true. He has not yet
given away all his fortune, but because
Of the multitude of begging letters
that reach him he will hereafter eXer-
else his charity in secret.
Dr.. Pearsons makes no claim to the
title of philanthropist. He says Of him
self: 81 do not pose as benevolent
man. l am thrifty and frugal old
man. l have labored nearly so years
to make money, and have made it and
honestly too. l have no benevolence in

thing to do with it was to help along

Although Andrew Carnegie declared
some time ago that it is disgrace to
die rich and is himself doing some
thing to reduce his enormous fortune
by dotting the surface Of the country
with free public libraries, there does
not seem to be among our millionaires
an extraordinary rush to give away
money. One millionaire, however, is
not only following out Carnegie's pre-
cepts, but also anticipated them by
years. This is DR.. Daniel X. Pearsons
of Chicago, who has for several years
been engaged in giving away fortunes
to the smaller colleges of the United
States.
DR.. Pearsons' most recent act Of
philanthropy was the giving of $4,000
to Carleton college, at Mortified, MINI.
This donation made grand total Of
more than $2,5OO,o00 distributed by
DR.. Pearsons in private and public ben
efactions.
A few Of the doctors most notable
gifts are $4,000 and $4,000 addition
al for girls dormitory to Beloit col
lege, Wis; $4,000 to Drury college,
$4,000 to Colorado Springs college,
100000 to Mount Holyoke seminary,
and $4,000 to Berea college, Ky. No
one besides himself knows the extent
of his private benefactions, and he
won't tell
The man who has chosen this as the
most effective form of doing good is
almost 81 years of age, although he
looks much younger. He is a resident
Of Chicago and has been for many
years. DR.. Pearsons is native of
Vermont and is descended on his moth
er's side from the family of Israel Put
nam. Young Pearsons obtained his ed
ucation in the district school and at the
age Of 16 became teacher. At 81 he
entered Dartmouth college and after

Ovid tells lis that the first temple of
Vesta at Rome was constructed of wat
tied walls and rooted with thatch, like
the primitive huts of the inhabitants.
1t was little other than circular COW
cred fireplace and was tended by the
unmarried girls of the infant commu-
nifty. 1t served as the public hearth
of Rome, and on it glowed, unextin-
guished throughout the year, the sa-
cred fire which was supposed to have
been brought from Troy and the con-
| tinuance of which was thought to be
linked with the fortunes of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San
skirt was, which means ITO dwell, to
inhabit," and shows that she was the
goddess of home, and home had the
hearth as it's focus. A town, a state,
is but large family, and what the do
nestle hearth was to the house that,
the temple of the perpetual fire, be-
! came to the city. Every town had its
vesta, or common hearth, and the col
onies derived their fire from the moth
er hearth.
Should a vestal maiden allow the sa-
cred fire to become extinguished she
was beaten by the grand pontiff till
her blood flowed, and the new fire was
solemnly rekindled by rubbing togeth-
err of dry wood or by focusing of SUMS
rays. The circular form and domed
roof Of the temple of Vesta were sur
vivals of the prehistoric huts Of the
aborigines which were invariably
round. -Cornhill Magazine.

any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
boy being only three months old. and

their plumpness and came out in, much
