SEEING A PICTURE.

Try to Look at 1t Through the Eyes
Of the Artist Who Painted 1t.
The first necessity for the proper see
ing of picture is to try to see it
through the eyes of the artist who
painted it. This is not usual meth
cd. Generally people look only through
their own eyes and like or dislike pic
ture according as it does or does not
suit their particular fancy. These peo-
pie will tell you, ooh. don't know
anything about painting, but l know
what like" which is their way of say
ing, IF don't like 1t right off don't
care to be bothered to like it at ALL
Such an attitude of mind cuts one
off from growth and development for
it is as much as to say, II am very
well satisfied with myself and quite
Indifferent to the experiences and feel
ings of other men,. Yet it is just this
feeling and experience of another man
which a picture gives us. If you con-
slider moment you will understand
why The world itself is a vast piano.
rama, and from 1t the painter selects
his subject-not the copy Of it exactly,
since it would be impossible for him
to do this even if he tried. How could
he represent, for example, each blade
of grass. each leaf upon a tree? So
what he does is to represent the subject
as he sees it. as it appeals to his sym
pathy or interest. and if twelve artists
painted the same landscape the result
would be twelve different pictures, diff
fering according to the way in which
each man had been impressed by the
scene-in fact, according to his sepa-
rate point of view or separate way Of
seeing it, Influenced by his individual

TEACHING THE HORSE.
Will Learn Anything His Muscles
Can Perform.

Can Perform.
Expert horsemen believe that a horse
can be taught to do anything that it is
possible for an animal so formed and
to be utterly fearless. Thus we know
Of horses rushing into battle with a
fearlessness that is magnificent. al
though in the beginning of their lives
they may have been foolishly timid.
shying at everything unusual that hap
pened to be seen in their travels.
In order to teach horse fearlessness
he must be accustomed to all sorts of
sights and sounds. He must come to
know that because something that he
sees or hears is unusual it does not fol-
low that it is harmful, for it is the un-
usual things that frighten him. The
horse is an animal of one idea at a
time and is not able to discriminate. so
say the men who have made study of
the horse. While he will travel along
quietly close by the roar of a train, he
may tremble at the futter of piece Of
loose paper flying in the wind. 1t is
not the frightfulness of the object that
seems to alarm him, but the unfamil-
iarity of it. Horse trainers say that
the mistakes made in breaking and
training colt is that it is too often
done in the seclusion of some country
road instead of amid the sights and
sounds that the animal must necessari-
" become familiar with later.
AS soon as the horse becomes famil-
lar with anything and has learned to
believe that it will not hurt him he
will stand quietly or trot along peace
fully even though all sorts of noises
and queer sights are about him. Thus
the artillery horse will stand amid the
roar of cannons, being used to the
noise and not knowing that the sound
predicts anguish and death. 1t is well
to accustOm a horse to unusual sounds
AS soon as possible after he is trained
for riding or driving. 1t renders him
safe and docile, even though he be a
spirited animal A certain trainer Of
horses said that an ideal school for
horses would contain thrashing ma
chimes. pile drivers, steam drills, cleo
trio, steam and elevated cars. a band
of martial music and a gang Of quarry
men blasting rock. A horse that was
drilled among such bedlam as this
would indeed prove immune to strange
noises. The gentle family horse, petted
by man and child. is not always train
ed to all this. yet he often makes use
full and faithful animal, loved by his
owner and evidently making some re-
turn of affection.-Detroit Tribune

A WALK IN THE WOODS.
Emerson Says It's One OF the Secrets
For DOdging Old Age.


Few men know how to take walk.
The qualifications of professor are
endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an
eye for nature, good humOr, vast curl
Osity, good speech, good silence and
nothing too much. If man tells me
that he has an intense love of nature, /
know, Of course, that he has none.
Good observers have the manners of
trees and animals, their patient good
sense, and If they add words it's only
when words are better than silence.
But a loud singer or story teller or a
vain talker profanes the river and the
forest and is nothing like SO good COM
pany as a dog.
When Nero advertised for new lux
ury walk in the woods should have
been offered. IT'S one of the secrets
for lodging old age, for nature makes
a like impression on age as on youth.
Then l recommend it to people who
are growing old against their will. A
man in that predicament, if he stands
before mirror or among young peO-
pie, is made quite too sensible Of the
fact, but the forest awakes in him the
same feeling it did when he was boy.
and he may draw moral from the
fact that it's the old trees that have all
the beauty and grandeur. l admire the
taste which makes the avenue to
house, were the house never SO small,
through a wood; besides the beauty, it
has positive effect on manners, as it
disposes the mind of the inhabitant
and of his guests to the Difference due
to each. Some English reformers
thought the cattle made all this wide
space necessary between house and
house and that if there were no cows
to pasture lessNland would suffice. But
a cow does not need so much land as
the owners eyes require between him
and his neighbor.-Ralph Waldo En-
erson in Atlantic.

THE PERFECT NUMBER.
From Time ImmemOrial Three Has
Had Unusual Significance.

From Time Immemorial Three Has
Had Unusual Significance.
The perfect number of the Pythago-
rean system, expressive Of beginning,
middle and end, was the number three.
From time immemor1al greater promi-
nence has been given to it than to any
other except seven. And as the symbol
Of the Trinity it's influence has waxed
more potent IN recent times. 1t appears
over and over again in both the New
and Old Testaments. At the creation
Of the world we find land, water and
sky, sun. moon and stars. Jonah was
three days and nights in the whales
belly. Christ three days in the tomb.
There were three patriarchs, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained
three angels. Job had three friends.
Samuel was called three times. Sam
son deceived Delilah three times.
Three times Saul tried to kill David
with a javein. Jonathan shot three ar
rows on David's behalf. Daniel was
thrown into q den of three lions be-
cause he prayed three times day.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were
rescued from a fiery furnace. The
commandments of the Lord were de
hvered on the third day. st. Paul
speaks of faith, hope and charity.
Three wise men came to worship
Christ with presents three. Christ
spoke three times to Satan when he
was tempted. He prayed three times
before he was betrayed. Peter denied
him three times He suffered three
hours of agony on the cross. The SUI
prescription was in three languages,
and three men were crucified. Christ
appeared three times to his disciples
and rose the third day.-New York

French COnceit.

Etienne Dumont. writing in the early
part Of the last century, said: 1.-THE

assembly considered himself capable
Of undertaking everything. l often

hundred men you met in the streets of
Paris and to the same number in the
streets Of London to undertake the
charge of the government ninety nine
of them would accept in Paris and
ninety nine would refuse in London"

The Tibetan Conscience.

The Tibetans offer daily prayers for
the minute insects which they have
swallowed inadvertently in their meat
and drink, and the formula insures the
rebirth of these microbes in heaven.
Yet they eat meat freely and square
their conscience with their appetite by
the preteXt that the sin rests with the
outcast assassin, the public butcher,
who will be born in the next incarna-
ton as some tantalized spirit or agon-
ized demon. That, however, is his own

POOR TRoMBErTlI
The Sad Tale Of the Professor and
the Journalist.

tmC SOWEhAAhSts
Professor Trombetti, whose praises
were 80 much sung in the foreign press
rs knowing the greatest number Of
languages Of any one ever born, relates
an anecdote of himself which occurred
just after he was discovered" In
Rome he was so pestered by Journal
lists that his patience at last gave way,
and when cornered by the gentlemen
of the press his language became dis
tinctly lurid.
One day as he was coming out of the
central postofice frank looking
young man stepped up to him, and
holding out his hand, said: II am so
glad to make your acquaintance;
have been trying to find you for days."
"And may | inquire with whom / am
speaking?" Why, l am X! Not a
near relation to be sure, but near
enough to offer you congratulations"
etc. Professor Trombetti, treasured,
and glad to get hold of some one to
unburden himself to- took the stran-
gers arm, and, as they went down the
street, gave, IN emphatic terms,
description of his sufferings, his opin-
ion of journalists, and, incidentally,
much information about himself which
the papers had been vainly signing for.
Finally they parted with an engage
ment for dinner the next evening.
That night the professor was sitting

seen to spring to his feet with smoth-
cred exclamation. His friends crowded

There in large print, were his impru-
dent revelations Of the afternoon. He
