Tadema and the Oranges.

Alma Tadema, the famous artist, one
day received n visit from his Belgian
confrere, Ferdinand Knopff. They dis
cussed certain picture by Van Eyck,
which Knopf professed greatly to ad-
mire. Alma Tadema also knew the pic
ture well and was very fond of it.
but | think" said Tadema, that ]
can enlighten you as to this canvas in a
way which will cause you much sur
PRISE"
Knopff seemed skeptical, and Tadema
then continues:
ION the window sill In Van Eyck's
work lies an apple, and there are two
oranges ON the table. The apple can be
seen in the mirror, but the oranges,
which ought to be visible, Van Eyck has
forgotten, some one having probably eat
en- them during an interruption in the
task"
Knopff told this story soon nfterward
to Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The latter
laughingly replied that there was nobody
shrewd enough to make such discoveries
except one person and that his name was
Alma Tadema. Weekly.

Gr0taauua Soldiers.

"When the government wants soldiers"
writes O Santo Domingo correspondent OF
the New Orleans Times Democrat, ut
simply sends out into the country dis
tricts and seizes them At first the men
seized are little disconnected, but when
they find that they can do nothing In the
army better than In their ordinary
haunts, and that there Is n pale. ineffec-
tual ray Of glory attached to the carrying
Of gun and cartridge belt, they take
n pride in their new dignity.
Each man Is furnished with one suit
OF clothes a year, but as time progresses
he CANDLES away his buttons, his coat,
his trousers and his hat, keeping only his
gun and his belt. AS the army, except
on the first of the year. Is always COM
posed of soldiers in the different stages
OF gambling away their wardrobe, they
make distinctly a picturesque display as
they march through the streets on q state
occasion.
1.-THE government guarantees them four
meals a day. but often forgcts. in the
great heat of that climate, to keep to its
guarantee. The shoes furnished are sup
posed to be leather. In reality they are
pastebonrd, hut as the soldiers prefer to
go barefoot this makes very little differ

Tokyo's singing Insects.

Singing birds are esteemed in all coun-
tries, but In Japan the musical sounds
emitted by certain insects are nppreciat-
ed. Listening to these minute singers has
been for many centuries favorite pas
time Of the japanese. and has given birth
to an original commerce. At Tokyo to-
ward the end of May and the beginning
Of June one sees suspended under the
yerandas Of houses little cages OF bamboo
from which break upon the silence OF the
fresh twilight strange little whistlings Of
metallic modulations and light trills
which fill the air with a delicate music.
1t is habitually In the evening. after the
hour of the bath, that the people OF To-
kyo seat themselves and listen to the shrill
concert. The most priced Of these sing
ing insects is the suzumushi. Its name
means insect bell" and the sound which
it emits resembles that Of tiny silver
bell. 1t Is tiny black beetle, with q
fiat body.

Crowded street cars open up new in
dustry which will require very careful
manipulation to return profits on the
necessary capital. Last week man,
evidently from work In a coalyard, took
the only vacant seat in n Columbus ave-
nue. car half minute ahead of the en-
trance Of a we'll dressed woman.
''If you WISH" she said, II will give
you rs cents for your seat"
"You can have 1t, ma am" answered
the man as he arose with smile and
took the offered quarter" while visions
Of great money making scheme entered
his mind.
He at once left the car and entered
the one following, where there were two
vacant seats. He paid his fare, rode
two blocks and, seeing no signs of a
purchaser for his seat, dismounted and
took another car, in which there were
no vacant seats. Again he paid his fare
and concluded to retain his Is cents
profit and operate no more that day

HOW THE BLIND "SEE."
their Impressions Of the World, Mon
md Sunlight.

and Sunlight.
How does It feel to be in absolute
blackness lifetime?
What are the blind mans impressions
of the appearance of the world, men and
things he has never seen?
What are his thoughts as he gropes
around in backness?
John Hayden, an intelligent, lifelong
blind man, answered these questions and
told strange, interesting facts about the
lives of the blind.
ITO be always in darkness" said Hay
den, 'is, Of course, terrible, but with
time we get used to it, and that makes
our lives much easier.
''There is heavy black mist before us.
Our minds are most of the time dead be-
cause we cannot see things, and our
minds have very little to work upon.
Then this darkness makes us fear the
world. We always imagine that all kinds
of danger is ahead Of US. We blind peo-
pie know that this fear is groundlcss, but
despite that we cannot get rid Of 1t.
Blind peoples thoughts are almost
alike. We are sometimes melnncholic,
but most of the time we think Of religious
matters and get much comfort from that.
There are very few blind freethinkers.
"Our impressions of the appearance OF
the world are nearly the same. l have
talked with great many blind people
about that and found that our impress
sions were nearly alike. These impress
sions. though, are rather vague.
1--WE mentally picture New York as
square mass Of earth with cuts between
for the streets. Our fellow MAXWELL,
we get by feeling some idea OF his shape,
but the blind eye has no conception OF
size or appearance. All men look alike
to the blind. Voices differ; the step diff
fers. We picture the sun as an immense
globe of fire with red rays shooting out
all around 1t. Daylight appears to us as
millions of white shafts floating high
above the earth.
1.-The way we blind folks dream will no
doubt surprise ordinary people. Our
dreams consist only Of the things we
have heard. We cannot dream of scenes
and places because we have, of course,
never seen them. When we, for instance,
dream of our friends or acquaintance,
we dream Of hearing their voices. We
cannot see them, but recognize them by
the sound and quality of their words.
"Many people when they see blind
man walking alone on the street wonder
how he manages to find his way without
aid. That is easy to understand. When
going around, we are guided by sound
and what we call landmarks. Nearly
every street has to us its own peculiar
noise. We can tell almost every street
we have previously passed along by its
own noise. Landmarks ar, the cracks
and breaks in the sidewalk along our
way.
I'VE become very well acquainted with
almost every little irregularity in the side
walks along our way, and by that and
the different noises in the street we can
always find our way."-New York World.

Legal Fees In EnRla n d.

Legal etiquette In Great Britain does
not allow a counsel to accept brief for
less than / guinea and Is. Gil. for his
clerk, although he may not possess a
clerk. Should the brief be decker.
which means a case In which the counsel
undertakes without the Intervention Of
an attorney to defend the prisoner in
the dock, the counsel is not allowed to
accept more than a guinea, because the
fact that the prisoner has not engaged
q solicitor implies that he cannot spare
more than guinea. Still. for all this,
things are just now SO bad at the bar
that even these briefs are eagerly sought
after,
