ness were still apparent, and in writ ing of it, he says: ..
 "The exciting means which the ar tist employed to agitate the tranquil and holy Supper Table are the Mas ter's words: There Is one amongst you that betrays me- The words are spoken, and the entire company falls into consternation: but He inclines His head with downcast looks; the whole attitude, the motion of the arms, the hands and everything repeat with heavenly resignation, which the silence itself confirms: 'Verily, verify, there is one amongst you that betrays me-
 Before going any farther we must point out greater expedient, by means of which Leonardo principally animated this picture; 1t is the motion of the hands; only an Italian would have discovered this. With his nation the whole body is expressive; all the limbs take part in describing an emo tion. not only passion, but also thought. By various gestures, he can express: What do carer Come here!' This is a rascal, beware of him!' He shall not live long!' This is a main point Take heed of this, my hearers!' To such national trait, Leonardo, who observed every characteristic with the greatest attention, must have turned his searching eye; in this the pres ent picture is unique, and one cannot observe it too much.
 "The figures on both sides of ouI Lord may be considered in groups of three, and each group may be regard ed as unit, placed in relation and still held in connection with it's neigh bors. On Christ's immediate right are John, Judas and Peter.
 Peter, the farthest, on hearing the words of our Lord, rises suddenly, in conformity with his vehement charac- ter behind Judas, who, looking up with terrified countenance, leans over the table, tightly clutching the purse with his right hand, whilst with the left he makes an involuntary nervous motion as if to say: What may this mean? What Is to happen?' Peter, meanwhile, with his left hand has seized the right shoulder of John, who is bending towards him, and points to
 
 beloved disciple to ask: Who is the traitor?' He accidentally touches Ju- das' side with the handle of knife held in his right hand, which occasions the terrified forward movement up- setting the salt-cellar, so happily brought out. This group may be con- sidered as the one first thought of by the artist; it is the most perfect"
 But, notwithstanding the great loss which the art world has sustained by the destruction of this famous paint ing, there is comfort in the thought that the original sketches of the artist still exists, and that from the splen- did copy of the painting by Marco d. Oggione, Raphael Morghen produced his celebrated steel engraving, published in 1900. .,

THE SYMPTOMS EVIL CHARMS.
Strange Beliefs of Swiss Peasants Re-
 garding the Great Tunnel Well e Founded.

Three strange and mighty natural phe- nomena of uncommon kinds have acted almost like three evil charms to hinder the completion of the great .Simplon tunnel in Europe. The peasants there have declared that the mountain gnomes and manikins are trying to fight the men who are boring a great hole through their sacred mountain.
 The first strange occurrence was 1h years ago, when the blow of a pick broke into tremendous subterranean sea that began immediately to pour out of the solid rock with 8 roar like that of Niagara. , n,.s.
 It swept away everything before 1t and hundreds of workmen were saved only by swimming with the rushing flood. At first the engineers expect ed that the water would run off within a few days, but days. weeks and months passed and the water was still rushing in undiminished volume, so that all the work was stopped
 At last a bed was blown into solid rock and the waters were turned into 1t. They are rushing through it, mak- ing 1t a respectable river.
 Scarcely had this danger been avoid ed before the tunnel began to slide and bend strangely. This was found to be due to rock that was so soft that 1t could not bear the pressure of the mighty mountain on top of 1t. Immense sums of money had to be spent to counteract this, and every new cutting has had to be surrounded with cement and con- crete.
 Before the engineers had more than finished their work over this phenome-' non the Swiss end of the tunnel began to grow hot Day by day the heat in- creased, until 1t was so great that it .blistered the skin of the workmen, driv- ing them out of the cuttings. The costly ventilating appliance proved useless against this growing heat, that finally became too deadly to permit human be- ing to enter
 Investigations proved that the heaS was due to big accumulations of hot water that seeped through the rock there in a thousand veins.
 Again the engineers had to call for immense sums of money to install new devices to fight the new enemy They have succeeded. Although it is still so hot In the tunnel that the visitor per- spires as soon as he enters, the work Is proceeding rapidly. And the hot wa ter has been chained It has been set So drive drills and other machinery.

Chinese Fish Farmine.

Those ever-ingenious people, the Chi nese, are great at fish farming, and one of their little dodges for matching young fish is most ingenious. Taking fresh egg, they suck the contents through a tiny hole and refill the egg with tiny eggs of the fish they want to hatch. The hole is then sealed up and the egg placed under a sitting hen. Tn very few days the fish ova are so far advanced that one has only to break the shell into mod erately warm water and the little fish spring to life at once.

Child Study.

Tn caring for children, mother should study the child or children as individ- uals. We know that all children can not be governed by the same set of rules; in fact, don't make any rules; govern according toIthe requirements. Some children will testify their wrongdoings by being talked to and the wrong being clearly stated to them, while others will not give in without the application of the lash.
 Don't be a persistent whipper, don t ecold. but always use about the same tone in addressing a child, and never make more noise than the children are making when you want their attention. Never allow yourself to be forever using that hateful word don't" Express your meaning in some other way, Housekeeper.

Senator ProetoPs Coon Hunt.

Senator Proctor OF Vermont, who
was a guest of President Roosevelt at
Sycamore Hill recently, came by
special invitation to look over the
presidential museum of stag heads
and stuffed mountain lions and Incl
dentally to explain how he happened
to shoot raccoon out OF season in
open defiance of the New Hampshire
law, says the Boston Transcript.
The newspapers have it that |
shot that raccoon on a Sunday said
the senator to reporter. THAT was
wrong. / shot it on Saturday after
noon, and say it myself, it was a
middling good shot. New Hamp-
shire is the only state in the Union
with an off-season for raceoons. Even
In Vermont and everywhere else in
christendom the raccoon is in the
varmint class. / did not know about
the unique status OF the raccoon in
New Hampshire, so when my little
grandson spied one in the top of a
big maple | got out the gun and
blazed away. The only thing we ever
found was his tail. II anybody was
arrested it was the peace officer OF
the county. | sent for him, told him
what | had done. showed him the tail
of that detunct raccoon, and kept
right on rubbing in my offence until
he had to fine me in self-defenee. 1t

License Troubles at erattleboro.

The Brattleboro board of license
commissioners is trying hard TO clean
out some disreputable men and
methods in liquor selling. One OF
the licenses was granted TO certain
parties with the distinct understand
ing that a certain man of unsayory
reputation was not to be connected
with the place. In spite of which
this man is the virtual licensee and
the place a foul resort. The only way
to break il up appears TO be 70 find
the licensees guilty OF some infringe
ment of the law. They, with other
Brattleboro licensees, are accused of
selling TO minors. At the hearing
the boys summoned as witnesses re
fused TO testify on the ground that
they might incriminate themselves.
These witnesses have all been adj
judged in contempt, fined S25 and
placed in custody of the sheriff. The
affair has caused much excitement
in Brattleboro.
AT next days session, the boys de-
cided to answer and the fines were
RENTED excepting g. in each case.
The testimony tended TO snow that at
most of the places minors had bought
liquor without having their age ques-
toned. A charge against Eels 4 Frost
was made OF employing a minor at
their place.

FOUL ASSAULT.
Woman MauIed by a Brutal Midnieh hi
Intruder.

Between midnight and o'clock las
week Wednesday morning, Mrs Step
hen Trombley, who lives in the ole
BuzZell house, opposite the cardinG
mill at South Mortified village, wal
aroused by a man in her room. He
placed his hands upon her and as she
struggled to free herself he told her tC
stop yelling il she wished TO save hel
life. She struggled desperately and
remembers clearly up to a certain
point, when she became unconscious
from the effects of being struck over
the head with a stick of wood. She
recognized her assailant as Adelbert
Martin, who came to her house Satur-
day and asked her 10 do a washing for
him, coming again Sunday TO see
whether it was done. When she told
him she did not wash Sundays he was
provoked and went away.

ley's bedroom. Two little children

seriousness she was lying on the floor
and began to call for help. The chill
dren also called. Martin appeared
outside the window, but did not at
tempt to re-enter the house. Neigh
bors who heard the calls entered the
house and found Mrs. Trombley uncon-
scious. She was reused and told her
story. Several bruises on Mrs.
Trombley's face and body and two
bloody gashes on her head were found.
Martin came from Calais. He is
about % years old. He has bad rep
utation, and is known as an odd stick
and very queer.
Mrs. Trombley is a hard working
and respectable woman. She has
been doing her best to support her
family since her husband was commit
ted to Washington county Jail on the
charge OF attempted rape on a Kirby
girl at Northfeld two months or more
ago.
An indictment against Martin for al.
tempted rape and murder has been
found by the Washington county grand
jury Martin has disappeared, leav-
ing no trace behind.
