QUEEN ROSE.

A. . Rule Her Truest Interpreter in
Art Are the Women Painters.
About the last literary work COM
pleted by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler
was a beautiful tribute to Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose,' published in
the Woman's Home Companion, in
which she says: l"As a rule women
make the best flower painters. The
men who excel In this branch Of art
are comparatively few. ever when we
consider the small number of artists
OF both sexes who have acquired repu-
tation in the picturing Of flowers. The
reason Is not difficult to see. The av-
erage woman has a fondness for flow
ers which brings her into the closest
sympathy with them, and enables her
to appreciate and understand them az
men seldom do. In the Interpretation
OF certain subtle phases of floral life
her sensitive temperament and the pe-
culiarly sympathetic feeling that she II
apt to bring to her labor Of love espe-
cially qualify her for engaging in this
department of picture making. In
point Of technical ability some marvel
ously clever work has been done by ar
lists Of the gsntler sex in the reproduce
ton OF flowers and in the treatment Of
dificult subjects"

In his W bank, and thence it reached
the bank on which it was drawn. In
fact, there are SO many ways in which
these worthless checks are presented
10 the banks by people who have
cashed them in good faith that it
would take long to describe them. The
point Is that the display of the blank
checks is a source of trouble to the
banks, whereas it is by no means nec-
essary that they should be displayed
at all. Any customer Of a bank who
has a right to checks could secure
them from a teller or other employe
OF his bank. In this way no forgers
or other criminals could obtain all the
checks they wanted simply by enter

WronGfM Use Of Checks.

One Of the largest national banks
In Cleveland, Ohio, recently announced
that it would no longer keep blank
checks on the desk and counters in
the lobby Of the bank, as all banks
have been in the custom of doing. Tbs
officials of the bank decided that the
custom was an unwise one, and one
which had in very many cases led to
annoyance and vel loss of money. On
the surface the matter seems to be I'M
important, but according to state
ments made by several Boston bank
ers, the fact is that the continual dis
play OF blank checks has long been
disliked by practically all of the bank
ers In the country, and many discus
sions have taken place as to the adj
visibility and feasibility of discontinue
ing the practice. A prominent Boston
bank president says in this connec-
ton: by keeping numbers of checks
on desks and counters throughout
their banks. bankers have had to 20
through the trouble, and sometimes
the loss, due to forgeries. It Is by no
means an uncommon practice OF for
gers to enter q bank, ostensibly on
business, and among numerous de-
p~ositors of the bank stand at a desk
where there are blank checks with
the headings Of that particular bank.
They help themselves to some of the
checks and slip out with them unab-
served. The result Is that in a day or
two a worthless check is presented at
the bank for payment. The signature
Of a depositor may have been forged,
and the check presented at the bank
that 1t was drawn on; or, the check
may have been presented to some mer-
chant and cashed by him. In that
case, the merchant deposited the check

Paris
iffOni

A great outcry is being made in
Paris at the abolition Of the dust bins
and the Inauguration OF a munlclpal
system of rubbish collecting. The noisy
protest comes from 40, 900 "~chiffoniers'
who will be thrown out OF employment
by the introduction of modern sys-
tens OF sanitation. For many, many
generations the ~chiffonier OF Paris mas
been one of the institutions or the
French capital; but now he must CO.
10000 strong as he is. "Ragplcker' is
our word for "chiffonier," but IN real
ity the chiffonier devotes but a small
part of his energy to picking up rags
In the refuse bins from which he gath
ers his treasures he delights more to
find old sardine boxes or tins in which
canned food once reposed. From the
tin the little toys are made which de-
light the hearts Of the children and
are sold on the ~boulevards for q cent
apiece; and from the solder are man
ufactured little toy soldiers. Old tin
cans are the chiffoniers' staple COM

china would seem to be particularly
~valueless, but it is sometimes a verit-

carefully set aside and taken to a COM

appreciable amount of gold which
otherwise would have been lost to the
world is thus collected in the course Of

the broken pieces from the ~chiffoniers
pays good dividends. The waste paper
collected by the %chiffoniers is sold to
establishments where it is cleaned, and
then pressed into a pulp, to come out

foniers and the discarded locks may
eventually come back in the form OF a

Rife Clubs in Japan.

Great efforts are being made In ia
pan to develop a taste for rifle shoot
ing among the people. Rifle clubs
have been formed after the European
model, most of them closely resem-
bling those existing in Switzerland. A
marked improvement in the general
shooting-is already shown. The en-
peror takes the greatest interest in
the movement and subscribes large
sums for prizes. Japan has introduce
ed the bicycle into it's army. Last
year a number of machines were pur-
chased, and on these Japanese soldiers
have been exercised in orderly and
accommodating duties.
