Anecdotes of Turner.

Mr. R. c. Leslie (elder brother of the
academician), whose death has just been
announced, had some interesting reminis-
cences of Turner. Leslie. when a youth,
used to go with his father &C. R. Leslie
RAJ to the academy on vanishing days
and there he watched the great landscape
painter at work. Turner used to arrive at
6 o'clock in the morning, and to work all
day at canvases which were sometimes
nearly blank when he began. There were
always" said Mr.. r. c. Leslie, "a number
of mysterious little gallipots and cups Of
colors ranged upon drawing stools in front
Of his pictures; and, among other bright
colors, I recollect one that must have been
simple red lead. He used short brushes.
some Of them like the writer's used by
house decorators, working with thin color
over the white ground. and using the brush
end on, dapping and writing with 1t those
wonderfully fretted cloud forms from the
rpplings and filmy surface curves upon
his near waters" Some of the pictures
(of Venetian subjeets) which Mr. Leslie
saw Turner finish In thin way are to be
found in the National Gallery.
OF Turner's queer menage in Queen Anne
street Mr. Leslie used tofteH good story
Turner was showing some great man or
other round his gallery, when the inner
door was half opened, and an old man said
in low voice. THAT 'ere's done" Turner
appeared to take no notice. and a few min
utes later the old mans head appeared
again, and said In a. louder voice, That

Absence From Parliament.


It Is seldom nowadays that motion ap-
pears on the paper Of the house of COM
mons giving leave Of absence to a mem
Der. There was one yesterday. moved by
the chief ministerial whip, ito Mr.. - for a
fortnight on account of domestic aff1ction."
The rule Is more honored in the brea ch
than the observance, and If a member
wants to absent himself from the house
he generally does so without any formality,
except perhaps getting pair. Still, in
theory every member Is under a constitu-
tional obligation to attend the service Of
the house to which he belongs, and this
applies no less to peers than to commoners
Even now he may be handed over to the
tender mercies of the sergeant-at-a arms and
fined for absence without leave, though that
rather shadowy liability would scarcely de-
ter any member from staying away from
Westminster if he wanted to. The fear Of
what constituents will say carries far
greater weight. In the last century ''call
over of members was not uncommon. The
last roll call took place in 1885, and though
there was an effort to revive the practice
as recently as 1882, the motion for doing so
failed.

Kamr Banking.


From the London Express.
The Kaffirs have a remarkably simple
method Of banking. Before setting out to
trade they select one of their number as
their banker and put all their money in his
bag. When an article Is purchased by any
of those who are in this combine the price
is taken by the banker from the bag,
counted several times and then paid to the
seller.
After which all the bank depositors cry
out to the banker, in the presence of two
witnesses selected, You owe me SO much" :"
This is then repeated by the witnesses
The general accounting comes between
the banker and his several depositors when
all the purchases have been made, after
which all the natives go home.

Medical Errors of the Staxe.

Specialist criticism Of art literature and
the drama gives startling results as we see
in the Tailor and Cutter" Now the Ian
Get cuts up the medical errors of the stage.
The characteristics Of the stage doctor, for
instance, are "a supernatural and most de-
pressing solemnity, and an inconceivable
rapidity in the construction of prescrip-
tions-" Why, too, should he always appear
in a frock coat, even on a summers day, in
the country in London at an hour when
other men Of his standing are in evening
dress? But Sydney Carton in THE Only
Way performs the most amazing feat,
since he overpowers Darnay by inhalation
seven years before Sir Humphry Davy first
mooted the idea Of anaesthetisation by in
halation in 1900.

His Unlucky Day.

Even the least superstitious are often
struck by the misfortunes which attend
some persons on certain dates. A large
firm in the city has in its employ a living
instance Of the fact. On June II an en-
ploye lost his left arm by coming in con-
tact with machinery. The accident disa-
bled him for his then employment, and he
was given that OF messenger. On an
other June IL he was run over in the Strand
while on an errand; result, a broken leg.
The next accident was a fall on the stairs
In the firm 8 buildings, again June IL, the
right arm broken that time. The fourth
mishap on another anniversary broke three
ribs. The firm took the case into consid-
Grafton and issued an order that in future
the employe was to take a holiday on that
date, an order with which he has now
complied for several years.

more, arrived at Washington at p.
N. took sleeper through to Jackson.
vile. Arrived st Jacksonville at 6.10
p. M, Wednesday, remained there
over night as there was no connection
through until next morning. There
was quite hustle at Jacksonville
more SO than at any place we came
through. They were0holding fair
there so that the city was crowded
with outsiders. The streets are quite
wide but what looked most strange to
US, there were several show tents set
up right in the streets and shows
were going on every hour; another
strange looking thing was, that the
business people had the sidewalks
piled up with boxes and barrels so
that in some places we could hardly
pass.
We left Jacksonville at 10 a. NJ,
and arrived at Daytona among the
oranges at 2 p. m. A very pretty
sight meets ones eyes to see the tall
palmetto, which makes the place look
like fairyland. Across the street
from where we are stopping oranges
are.sgrowing which is an odd sight for
man from the north.
The streets here are laid out square
and are as level as a floor, no mud
like Barre. They make their streets
of what they call mari, it is sand
and stone. Then they put on top
dressing of oyster shells which when
packed down becomes worry hard. 1
don't suppose it would hold up our
heavy stone teams however.
The weather here is fine just like
May in Vermont viii give you a
better description OF the place in nay
next letter.
Yours truly,
