Notable Paintings.

Probably the smallest painting ever
made was tie work of the wife of
Flemish artist. 1t depicted mill with
the sails bent. the miller mounting the
stairs with sack of grain on his back.
Upon the terrace where the mill stood
was a cart and horse, and on the road
leading to it several peasants were
shown. The picture was beautifully
finished, and every object was very dis
tinct, yet it was 50 amazingly small
that its surface, so the story goes,
could he covered with grain of corn.
In contradistinction to this the lar
gest painting, exclusive of frescOes and
panoramas, is Tintoretto's Paradise"
1t is hung in the grand saloon of the
doges' palace at Venice and is 81 feet
wide and 81 feet high.
Michael Angeles fresco in the Sistine
chapel of the Vatican completely COW
ers the vaulted roof. which measures
1873 feet in length and 43 feet in width.
This painting delineates the creation of
man, his fall and the early history of
the world. with Il reference to mans
final redemption and salvation.

'Pause, o youth or maiden" wrote
Andrew Lang in the Windsor Maya
zine, before you accustom your lips
to this fatal formula, 4 have no time to
readv You have all the time which
for you exists, and it is abundant.
What are you doing with it-with your
leisure? Mainly, gossiping. Our mod
ern malady is gregariousness. We
must be in company chattering.
''To be always with others, always
gregarious, always chattering. like
monkeys in treetops, is our ruling vice,
and this is the reason why we have no
time to read and why you see SO many
people pass their leisure when alone
in whistling or whiting. They have
time to whittle."

! SOME QUAINT ENGLISf1.
Portuguese Idea of the Language n
n Book of "Learning."

Portuguese Idea OF the Language IN
Book of 'Learnins.''
A book as amusing as it is rare is IN
the library of ~Wissahickon student.
The work is called 30 Nova Guia ia
Conversacao.' 1t is supposed to Ia
struct the Portuguese in English con-
versation, and the following, a dia-
iogue headed For to Ride Horse" is
the kind of English conversation it sup
plies:
Here is a horse who have a bad
looks. Give mi another; will not that.
He not sail know to march, he is pursy,
he is foundered. Don't you are ashamed
to give me jade as like? He is und-
shoed, he is with nails up; it want to
lead to the farrier."
An anecdote in the book is:
"a day came a man to consult this
philosopher for to know at o'clock it
was one to eat. If thou art rich, told
him eat when you shall wish; if you
are poor. when you may do"
In the preface the most elegant par
agraph is the following:
we eApeCl lhcll, WHO tle iltllS UoOk
for the care what we wrote him, and
for her typographical correctioD that
may be worth the acceptation of the
studious persons, and especially of the
youth. at which we dedicate him par
ticularly."
The authors Of this strange volume
are Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Caro-
limo. 1t would be interesting to know
where Pedro and Jose learned Eng
lish.-Philadelphia Record.

The Usual Way.
A man had a piece Of news.

A man had piece of news. :
A reporter heard of it.
The reporter called on the man.
And asked him about the news.
The man played balloon with tn
porter.
He swelled noticeably and said:
you fellers never get anything
right. So won't tell you"
The reporter did not get angry.
He knew the man was fool.
He had seen him before.
He knew the real facts could be had
from no one else.
Yet the reporter did the very best he
could to get at the truth.
And published the story as he got it.
Then the man who had refused to
give the facts arose early and bought Il
paper to see if the facts were distorted.
They were.

An ADVANTAGE From Foss.

In speaking OF fogs medical journal
draws some consolation from the fact
that even fogs have one compromising
advantage which has often been over
looked. ut is" it says, reasonable to
suppose that fog effects partial
publication of the atmosphere. This is
borne out by the fact that when a fog
subsidies the deposits contain the car
bon, sulphur, organic bases and other
injurious and irritating particles which
formerly existed in state of suspen-
sion in the atmosphere"
