WOMEN WHO POSE.
The Secrecy That Is Maintained by
Artists About Their Models.

Artists About Their Models.
Every artist keeps in his studio a
little book that he guards most sacred
ly. 1t contains his list of models. In
some art studios of New York the
model book" contains 500 names of
men and women who earn their living
by posing. The betrayal of a single
name by the artist would injure his
reputation with the craft and make 1t
difficult for him to employ the better
class of models.
The chief reason for this secrecy Is
the fact that the outside world is prone
to look askance at professional models.
Most of them, however, are perfectly
modest and good women, whose busi-
ness, though apparently violating the
letter of morality, preserves it's spirit.
In fact, behind the models professional
career is little but the commonplace.
American models are characterized
by the same qualities of self respect
and independence as American art. The
principal fault artists and illustrators
find with them is their lack Of express
sion, but for beautiful figures and per-
feet features they are unexcelled.
The best models in the world are
found in France and America, where
the most general intelligence prevails
in the class from which they chiefly
come. In America many Of them be-
long to middle class families who have
met reverses

aapoleon,s Character.

IN character Napoleon may be said
to have been not SO much wicked as de-
void of moral sense. The first princi-
pies Of morality seem to have had no
place in his mind, and it is difficult to
see how they could have found en-
trance there. He had really no coun-
try, and consequently no patriotism.
Born a Corsican and setting out with
bitter hatred of France as the destroy
er Of Corsican liberties, he never really
became a Frenchman. He never learn
ed to write the language, hardly to pro
nounce 1t. France was the seat and
fulcrum of his power, his throne and
the recruiting ground Of his armies.
Whatever he might say in proclama-
tions, in his moments of sincerity he
spoke Of the French contemptuously as
people who were to be governed
through their vanity, which it was nee
essary to feed with perpetual course
Of victories. Domiciled in France, he
had consorted with a set of adventur.
ers as profigate as any that the world
has seen. The only sort Of public mo-
rality with which he had ever been i'm
pressed was the fidelity Of the soldier
to military duty.-Goldwin Smith in
Atlantic.
Amador ledger., 1903-08-21
He Had Followed Directions,

A little black boy sat on the soap
box which served as a front step to
the tumble down shanty. His skin
was more than black. Here and there
1t looked as If it had been vanished.
His fingers clung together when he at
tempted to open his hands, and films
of silky sweetness were spun about
him as he threw back his head and
opened his mouth in epicurean ecstasy.
Household Words explains this happy
condition:
Goodness, lawp' exclaimed the old
nanny, who came suddenly round the
corner. what yo' sittin' dat away
for when I jes' been tryin' to clean yo'
up? Ell yo' ain went an molassed

The wonder. of Color.

A small and simple experiment can
be tried by any reader which will go
far to convince him or her what debt
we owe to color and what good thing
it Is we have sunlight, which enables
our eyes to take advantage of the beau
tiful hues of nature. Make a room
quite dark and then burn some carbon
ate of soda in the flame of a bunsen
gas burner. 1t will burn with an or
ange yellow light sufficiently strong to
illuminate everything in the room, but
you will realize with a sudden shock
that, bright though the light is, all dis
tnctions of color have vanished. Only
light and shade remain. A crimson
carnation, blue violet, red table
cloth, a yellow blind-all look gray or
black or white. The faces of those
present look positively repulsive, for all
natural color has disappeared.
No other experiment will so well con-
vince those who have witnessed 1t how
great loss would be that of our sense
for color.

RussIA's ARGUS EYE.
The Keen Watch That Is Exercise
Over All Postal Matter.

The Keen Watch That Is Exercised
Over All Postal Matter.
In the Russian post Office a watchful
eye is kept on all newspapers and mag
azines, and any matter officially con-
sidered Objectionable is ruthlessly
''biacked out" A similar surveillance is
extended to private correspondence.
The task thus undertaken is gigantic
one, but the Russian official system has
proved itself equal to the undertaking.
In every post Office of Importance
there are officials constituting the
"black cabinet" whose duty it is to
examine the letters received. According
to the system followed in the Moscow
post office, all the letters are handed
over to the black cabinet" Then one
official sorts out all those which are ad-
dressed to suspected families, another
all those addressed in suspected hand
writings, while third arranges the re-
mainder in little heaps and then draws
at .yandom several letters from each
heap. All the letters selected in these
various ways are then opened and ex-
amined.
In this ingenious way the Russian
government strives to keep continual
check on the free intercourse Of its sub
jects, and it is not surprising that "un-
derground' means of communication
have been developed
Amador ledger., 1903-08-21
Conjurins a Tooth.

Among the negroes the most striking
remedies are to be found. Witness the
combination of cure and spell de-
scribed under the name of ''conjuring
tooth" In Alabama. Go into lonely
part Of the woods with one of the oppo-
site sex, who is to carry an ak. The
bearer Of the ak chops around the roots
of white oak, cuts off with a jack
knife nine sphnters from the roots of
the tree, then cuts around the roots of
the aching tooth with the knife, dips
each Of the nine splinters in the blood
flowing from the cuts and finally buries
the splinters at the root of the tree
from which they came. While doing
this the operator repeats something
you don't understand, which is the
charm.-Kansas City Journal.
Amador ledger., 1903-08-21
The Trop,o Home.

White mems homes in India, the
West Indies, west Africa and other
parts of the tropics to which civiliza-
ton has penetrated are usually run on
the principle Of having as much air
and as little furniture as possible.
Carpets, rugs, cushions, hangings and
portieres are banished. Tables and
chairs are made of light wickerwork,
bamboo or cane. The floors are pol
ished with cocoanut husks until they
become as slippery as a good dancing
floor. Indeed, they are used for that
purpose nearly every evening in any
settlement where there is society. A
ball In the tropics requires no prepara-
ton. After dinner it is only necessary
10 move the light furniture to one cor
ner of the spacious room, send some
body to the piano and start dancing.
The ballroom is practically in the
open air, for wooden "jalousies' form
most of the wall space and are opened
like Venetian blinds to let in the cool
night breezes.
Amador ledger., 1903-08-21
The American Farmer.

When the American farmer rises ear
ly in the morning 1t Is to look over
broad and fertile acres that are his
own. When he goes forth 1t is to fields
that no human being can lawfully step
upon without his consent. When he
gathers and gamers the harvest he
stores what in a vast majority of cases
no greedy and rapacious landlord can
take from him. It is all his. The pro-
ceeds of 1t are to clothe and feed him
and his family and educate his chill
dren, to be the support of his old age
and the heritage of his posterity. Look
ed at from every point Of view, it is
doubtful If there is another human be-
ing under the heavens who has more
cause for carrying light heart and a
contented mind, for regarding the past
with satisfaction and the future with
hope, than the American farmer.-Kan-
sas City Journal.

Smoke Farthing..

Smoke farthings were offerings paid
in olden days in England at Whitsun-
tide to the priest, according to the num-
Der of chimneys in the parish. Some
times these dues were demanded by
the bishop of the diocese, as an old
manuscript records: ''The bishop Of
Ellie hath out of everie parish in Cam
bridgeshire a certain tribute called
smoke farthings, which the church
wardens do levie according to the num-
Der of chimneys that be in parish"
We learn from Notes and Queries
that Peters pence or smoke money
was still paid at the end of the six
teenth century in many English par
ishes.
Similar to this was a chimney tax
levied from time to time to raise funds.
This was most obnoxious to the people,
and Pepys in his diary notes, "Much
clamor against chimney money, and
the people say they will not pay 1t
without force" 1t was abolished in
the reign of William and Mary.
