Mot LOOKING for Notoriety.

No author of the day has been less
photographed than Joseph Conrad,
who has just published book OF sea
stories. His publishers, when his
book was about to come out, having
failed to persuade him to face the
camera for new picture, hunted high
and low throughout England and
America for some sort Of likeness
Finally. In the files of an old English
illustrated magazine, someone stun
bled upon small oval head OF him,
and it is from that half-tone, enlarged
and retouched, that all pictures OF
Conrad recently published have been
made.

Historic Portrait Spoiled.

Among the best portraits in the
white. house previous to the recent
.renovation was that Of Mrs. Benja-
min Harrison by Daniel Huntington,
for many years Americas foremost
portrait painter. In the restoration"
this portrait has been rehung to suit
some modern Interpretation Of the
alleged original plan Of the mansion
by George Washington! In doing this
the paint has been scratched and
scraped and in some important spaces
has been knocked off entirely. Worse
than this, a hole about three inches
long has been punched in the canvas.
