CLOTHES IN PICTURES.
From The London Express.


fThe Tailor and Cutters" art critic is again
played by portrait painters in their pictures at
the Royal Academy.
In the current issue of the journal he eXclaims
in large capitals that if these pictures represent
the present day school of British artists, it
HIGH TIME ENGLAND AWOKEr'
Are mems clothes to-day he asks $50
utterly unworthy of the painters art? Are they
completely devoid of taste and beauty that
they shamefully reproduced? They can
not prove otherwise than to be the laughing
stock of tailors and their customers
Coming to details, the portrait of Lord Mount
Stephen shows a total absence of buttons on
the coat; there is not buttonhole in the lapel
and the trousers are quite innocent of seams
The coat and vest contortionS in black the
trousers a smudge in gray.
There were very few Of the pictures, indeed
that portrayed a gentleman in ordinary dress
that was the least bit like what gentlemen of to-
day wear
Goats are so mfserab1y drawn that they bear
no possible resemblance to the originals
In one portrait ''the right lapel is at least five
times large the left" while in another
there is one solitary buttonhole in the lapel
and that is large enough for three, and there is
not single button indicated either the coat
the vest"
One coat presents "a style that no one but an
old who is brought into the house some
times to mend the clothes would adopt 1t is
libel ON tailordon."
A reverend gentleman, alasi is portrayed with
his sleeve half way up to his elbow
I'VE should Ike to condemn those who have
produced them to wear only garments such as
they have portrayed on their figures; they would
then present such pitiable spectacle that they
would never dare to leave their homes"

SELECT HOSPITAL.
SITE AT HASTINGS
Members of Board of Control Locate New
Cottage for the Insane.

All three of the members of the state
board Of control visited Hastings yester-
day morning for the purpose Of selecting
a site for the new cottage to be built
as a part of the state asylum Of the in
sane. A site has been selected which lies
about 1,200 feet to the northeast of the
present buildings, and on a plateau.
There is now available an appropriation
ton of $40, 900 for the construction Of this
building, and it is the purpose of the
board to have work begin at once with
only such delay as may be absolutely
necessary for the completion of the plans
which are now in the hands of the arcni-
tects and the letting of contracts. The
building will be completed ready for oc-
cupancy before winter.
The board has also an appropriation Of
1000 for a similar cottage at Anoka,
but this it is feared may not be built
this season by reason of difficulties that
have arisen in the matter of sewerage
The farm upon which the Anoka asy-
lum is located is on Rum river. and above
the town, and for that reason there can
be no drainage into the river except by
extending the pipes below what is known
as Rum river dam. At present the sewer
age from the asylum is disposed of by
means of filter beds, but because of lack
of space for the filter beds and imperfect
drainage by reason of deficiency in grade
this plan has not proved entirely salts
factory. The board has appealed to the
city to build a sewer with which connec-
ton may be made, and engineers are now
at work on a suvey. Until this point has
been decided. the Anoka cottage will not
be located, for in case the new sewer
should not be built it will be necessary
to locate it on part of the farm remote
from the present buildings where there
will be sufficient room for the filter beds
and where sufficient altitude for perfect
drainage may be obtained.
