or Q Mozart, but rather look !, the
name. II you see in it the rest you
want don't dislike it or be ashamed TO
say 80 because some baud that had
not masters technique did 1t. One
of the things l love is painting called
Solitude by Browning. l have no
more idea who Browning, the painter,
was than l have of Benale tut l love
that painting because it is SO filled
with rest, aud Benale has lovely
little thing that like to play. Now,
/ know nothing of either, SO never
look at the name to see If it's good but
rather at the picture or the compost
ton.
Now mother, in your study of art
don't overlook tho grandest of all
painters, God. Some day just as the
sun is setting, go up on the hills there
at home and you will see something
that is grander than any Turner
sunset. You'll SEQ something grander
than any landscape artist ever painted.
You'll find that in nature you have
not only the mother of art but the
"father" of life. Look In the right
places for art; don't always look on
the walls of some home, or mansion,
or art gallery, but look on the mighty
walls of Gods paintings, look into the
faces of Gods people; just take long
look some time into the face of some
friend who knows not that you are
studying them. You'll see something
grand, something marvellous; you'll see
something noble. Or 1T the time DO
right look into some little cluster of
bushes, or some pure flower, or at
some grand sky; that's art. Life is
art. art is life; hut art, not for arts
sake but rather art for the good art
will do, and always look In the right
places There is AS much art in The
building OF q character like Jean
Vatican as there is In beethoven
symphony. There is as much art in a
little poem of lliene's as there is in q
Chopin nocturna, AS much in . little
p ,em such as Poe's cover the shadow
of the moon as there is i'm a Wagner
opera. SO, mamma dear. look WELL
and ALWAYS in the right place for
your art, and with the Thought always
in mind of Art for the 90 I'd that art
will do" q 'od Bye. Your son,
II. FRANK HARRIS.

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super
stition go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen
In England couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be atouched for the
evil" The specific revil" was scrofula,
and it was the popular belief that scrof-
ula could be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula Is a
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in a kingly touch, no ex-
ternal treatment could cure scrofula.
The medicine which cures scrofula

THE scouRGE or
CIVILIZATION.

From half civilized or
unsanitary countries come
the plaques which deci-
mate the teeming popula-
tons of the Orient. SAM
tary science and medical
skill have banished the
plaques from among our
selves, but civilization has
its own scourge in that
form of scrofula which
attacks the lungs and is
popularity known as con-
sumption.
Plaques are not per-
sistent. They appear and
disappear again for years.
Scrofula of the lungs or
consumption is apersistent
disease. Every day of
every year it gathers in its
victims; one-sixtll of all
deaths from, disease being
attributed to consumption.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery cures scrof-
ula wherever it finds it.
It eliminates the scrofu.

Probably very few persons who fire.
Quently use the expression -'AS mad as
a halter" have any idea: as to what it
means or why a halter is necessarily
any more subject to fits iOf anger than
a plumber, n blacksmith or a carpen-
ter. The expression is; said to have
come into use half a century ago, when
the manufacture of hats was done
wholly by hand. The most striking
thing about the process was that of the
beating up Of the felt. The halter first
dipped the mass of WOOL and hair fire.
Guently into hot water; chen. SeiZing a
stick in each hand. he 5elabOred the
mass most vigorously, stopping now
and then to get his breath. until the
material was matted together in Il
rough sort of felt. The lively beating
administered to the felt. as if the work
man were actually incensed, gave rise
to the familiar simile.
