A PiqtaiI Party.

The Philadelphia Record relates: A
pigtail party was given i'm his studio
the other night by an artist from the
west. The arriving guess were very
curious to know what en- earth this
sort OF party is. and they found it to
be one wherea. the tails of pigs are
the main dish q the supper. AS ac-
cessories there were served, of course
sauerkraut, sausages, cheese and pref
zels, but the delicious pigtails lorded
it easily over their neighbors. They
were fried, and each guest found be
could eat a dozen without difficulty,
In ST. Louis" the artist said, pig
tails are as common an article OF
food as pigs feet or beefsteak. Every
butcher has them on sale. and they
cost aoout twenty cents a dozen. Here
in the east they seem to be unknown
l had a great deal of trouble to gel
these that you are eating tonight, an6
had to order them two weeks in ad
vance. Several men got the recipe
for their cooking. and told they would
have standing orders with their butch
ers for pigtails with their dinners"

ism had taken firm root and remark
ably strong schools of luministic paint
ers have arisen in Norway, Finland,
and Scotland The Finnish school is
probably the youngest of the -nree
and bears a decided nationalistic char
acter.
England has also felt the influence
of impressionism, though not in SO
great measure as Germany. Turner
and Constable had prepared the
ground for the new idea and it never
exerted sufficient influence to cause a
revolution in English art. At the pres
ent time there are but few great land
scape painters in England. Nearly all
of them are also etchers and water
colorists. Some of the best landscape
and marine work is done in water

Moral Effect of Diets.

An exclusively pork diet tends in
fallibly to pessimism- Beef, if perse-
vered in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and aufacious, says
Parsons Weekly. A mutton diet con-
tinued for any length of time tends to
melancholia, while veal eaters gradu-
ally lose energy and gayety- The free
use of eggs and milk tend to make
women healthy and vivacious. But
ter used in excess renders its users
phlegmatic and lazy Apples are ex-
cellent for brain workers. and every
body who has much intellectual work
to do should eat them freely. Pota-
toes, on the contrary, render one dull,
invidious and lazy, when eaten con-
stantly and IN excess To preserve the
memory, even to an advanced age,
nothing is better than mustard.

r1Onuments Being Placed
Along the Brandywine

Like Andrew Carnegie John G. Tay-
lar, of West Chester, "a, intends to
dispose of a large share of his wealth
while he is yet alive; but instead or
investing it in libraries or schools, he
is building monuments on the Brandy
wine battlefield. He refused to tell
how much he has spent in this way,
but competent judges say the statues
and shafts that he has erected have
cost fully $4,000. He has just COM
pleted his most elaborate monument,
a memorial to Gen. Lafayette, built OF
granite at a cost of $4,000. Already
he is planning other designs to honor
the various commanders who partici-
pated in the battle.
Mr. Taylor has pointed out that in
the conflict waged along the Brandy
wine the American flag was first I'M
furled in battle; that in this fight La
fayette, who had just joined the Amer
leans, received his baptism of fire;
that, being at the opening of the Penn
sylvania campaign, it was one OF the
most important battles of the Revolu-
ton, and for the first time the Amer1-
can troops, by their determined re-
sistance, won from the British in the
official reports a tribute to the eff
cheney of the patriot arms. Mr.. Taylor
deplore1 that in spite of the many his
toric associations of the vicinity the
noted sites near the old meeting house
were neglected The meeting house
itself remains almost as it was when
it served as hospital after the fierc-
est part of the conflict had been
fought about it's walls. but all traces
of the graves OF the hundreds of sol
diers who were buried nearby have
disappeared. The farm houses that
were used as headquarters by Wash
ington, Lafayette and Howe also pre-
sent practically the same aspect now
that they did 125 years ago, and along
every road and on every hillside are
places replete with stories of the col
onies' struggle for freedom.
1t is true that in 1895 the school

and the other painters of the classical
and the romantic schools have had
their day and no longer rule supreme
in the Salon The French Fan dScape
painters OF TIE present time believe in
realism in the choice of the subject,
b1t not in thae execution. Many of the
y9nnger painters of the French school
have strong leaning to the decorative
style, and during the last five years
some excellent works of thaE character
have been placed on exhibition-
Landscape painting in Germany has
been completely revolutionized through
the infiusnce of the French impress
sionistic school. The famous German
schools of claSSiciSm and romanti-
cism, OF which Rottma an, Pre4fer, Less
ing, Sehirmer, and Blechen were the
most noted representatives. had ruled
supreme for several decades. 1t was
due to the powerful Influence of Nor
gen5tern and Gurfftt that German art
was led to realism. The new direction
of which the two Achenbachs, Herzog,
and Schleich were the first pioneers
was still followed by q majority of the
German landscape painters when Inn
pressionism was born in France.

America is the land Of pefvous
women. The great majority of nervous
women are SO because they are suffer-
ing from some form of female disease.
By far the greatest mum Der OF female
troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female trouble is
so common, SO prevalent, that they &C
cept it as almost inevitable. The great
est obstacle in the way OF recovery is
that they do not understand that it is
catarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint, ninety
nine cases out of one hundred are moth
ing but catarrh- PeFuzaa cures catarrh

CHESS PLAYING UNIVERSAL

One Of the Requirements of Inhabi
tants of Hungarian Village.
There is in Hungary village prob
ably unique among the world s
towns. in that it not only encourages
chess as pastime, but insists that
the king OF games shall be played by
every man, woman and child in the
place.
1t is just as necessary y this out-of-
the-world spot for the Inhabitants to
be proficient chess p1aYers as it is fol
them to be able to read, write and
cipher Prizes are given to the school
children for proficiency in chess.
Problems are given to the> scholars
that they are expected to- take home
and work out in their spare hours IN
addition to their other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for
her chess players. Inleed, this little
village has, as can be we'll understood
turned out more than one player who
has been considered fit to rank with
such giants as Lasker, StHinitz OF
Tchigorin-
Every Christmas greA tour1la
ment is held in the village and the
burgomaster gives prizes for the best
juvenile and adult players.

even if there is a certain similarity in
the general character of the different
sceneries. Just as distinct and clearly
defined are the types of landscape
painting in the different countries as
represented by the various scools, and
no connoisseur will mistake a typical
work of a French landscape painter
for that of an English or German art
list. OF course there are exceptions,
but these only go to confirm the rule.
In painting, particularly in the paint
ing of landscapes, France stands at
the head of all civilized nations. 1t
was not always thus. Italy, Spain,
the Netherlands, Holland, Germany.
and England have alternately been the
leaders in landscape painting at diff
ferent times; now it is France. Ger
many's, England's, or Americas turn
may come next.
1t was in France where Impression
ism, that most important of all revolu-
tionizing influences in modern
art, was born. Like so many other
new ideas, it was not at first under
stood. Imitators of Manet, Monet. Co
rot, and the other masters of impres-
sionisn srrang up everywhere and
ill-conceived paintings, usually poor in
drawing and even worse in color.
Those pygmies fairly out-did the orig
inators of impressionism In the most
daring color schemes, and, lacking the
genius of the pioneer masters, they
substituted mannerism for conscious
ness of purpose. eccentricity for origi-
nality.
Impressionism as fad has died out
in rance long ago, but it's effects are
still vis-uIe in the work of the modern
French school. Luminism, the paint
ing of sunlight and atmosphere, has
taken the place of impressionism, and
it promises to stay.
The French landscape painters arc
nearly all adherents of the new school.
