His Test.


A dealer In pictures who makes 1t his
business to find as many new painters
as possible, both In this country and
abroad, was asked In regard to his
methods Of selecting pictures to buy.
He was very frank in his talk, and one
thing which he said is shrewd enough
to be worth quoting.
"Of course" he said, with my expe-
rience / am able to Judge whether
there Is promise In painters work,
but l never buy with any idea of put
ting the painter on my list until have
seen the man and talked with him my
self. l always watch him closely, and
/ never buy his pictures unless his eye
lights up when l talk to him about his
work and about his profession"
Tho artist whose heart was really In
his work could not discuss 1t without
kindling, and the man who did not
paint from the heart was not the one
whose pictures the dealer wanted.

WASHDAY WISDOM.

A very hot iron should never be used
for fiannels or woolens.
Cnlicoes, ginghams and chintzes
should be ironed on the wrong side.
Clotheslines are made much more
durable by boiling for ten minutes be-
fore they are used.
Table linen should be ironed when
quite damp and ironed with very hot
and very heavy iron.
Irons should not be allowed to be-
come redhot, as they will never retain
the heat properly afterward.
Embroideries should be ironed on n
thin, smooth surface over thick flannel
and only on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of little refined borax in
the water instead Of using washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined to
fade should be soaked and rinsed in
very salt water, to set the color before
washing in the suds.
Silken fabrics, especially white silk
handkerchiefs, should not be damp
ened, but ironed with moderately
warm iron when taken from the line.

UNiNHABlTED ISLANDS.
There Are Thousands OF Them In the
Indian Ocean.

Tncre Are ThOusnnds OF Thcm In the
Indian Ocean.
II you should want an island-that Is,
an unlnhabited island-for the purpose
of occupying II alone, Robinson Crusoe
like, or to use 1t for romantic fiction or
for any other purpose, to the exclusion
Of all others in the world, you need have
no trouble In finding one IL you see fit
to make n journey to the Indian ocean.
In the waters between Madagascar and
India you can find more than $1,000 of
them, where there is not human be-
Ing and where you can, II you will, be
monarch of all you survey.
An English traveller has recently been
among the small islands that dot the
western end of the Indian ocean to
make an inventory Of them and re-
ports that he counted 16, 100 and found
only about GOO of them inhabited.
Now, there Is good chance for any
one who may want an island.
These particular Islands are not large,
ms islands go, but very many Of them
are sufficient for the purpose of Rob-
inson Crusoe or any other novel hero
or for even n small colony of ship
wrecked mariners or other persons who
might be cast on one of them or seek
for the purpose of making home pret-
ty much out Of the busy world.
Some of them are only an acre or
two, well elevated above the tide, while
others are a'C"arter n of n mile In diam
eter and running from that up to mile
or two In length and quarter or less
Of the length in breadth. Many Of
them are granite structures that rise
steeply from 20 to 100 feet, well cover
ed with rich soil. through which small
fresh water streams hurry to the sea,
which they reach after flowing over
beaches of glistening calcareous sand
that are begirt by coral reefs, which
form walls about the Islands.

How He Saved His Dinner.

In the little town of Arundel there Is
taxidermist who is gifted with Won
derful presence of mind. Here is an
instance:
Some time ago gentleman called at
his shop with n cock pheasant, which
he desired to have skinned, stating at
the same time that he did not require
the body. This quite suited the taxi
dermist, who thought the pheasant
would do for his dinner on the morrow.
However, later In the day the gentle
man called again and said that he
would take the body away. The tax
idermlst replied that 1t was unusual
for customers to take the bodies away,
but that he had no objection, and he
fetched the bird, which his wife had
put on plate and covered with flour.
"Ah" exclaimed the gentleman. ut
looks very nice. But what is this white
powder with which 1t is covered?"
"Oh, that" replied the taxidermist
quietly, SIS arsenic. always cover
the bodies with that until l can dis
pose of them"
"Ar-arsenicW stammered the gentle
man. "Why, I thought that the bird
would be good to eat. Thank you,
won't trouble to take 1t away with me.
Good day."

A dusl<y cloud came floating down
At early dawn Of light.
The cloud dropped softly to the lake
Amid a sound Of whiring wings
And spread into graceful line

We hailed this burst Of joyous life;
The sunless day seemed dark no moro.
When suddenly shot rang out
And echoed round the shore.
The waterfowl were natures guests,
But they were doomed, and all that day
The shots pcalcd forth, and on the wavcs
The dcnd and dying lay.

There vanished. softly as II came,
