raconteurs OF his day. and in Notes
From = Diary" (1s73-1s91) Sir Mount
stuart Grant Dun has recorded some
Of his stories. One was about . maid
In his service who had . gift for say
ing quaint things. When the poet
was going to pay the last mark Of re-
spect to George Henry Lewes she said
she didn't see the good Of catching
cold at other peoples funerals" And
once. when he was away ON holiday

inquire II It was true that the poet

Il have not heard so. and am sure

Whl.tler b s.re,.,le Meod.

One day James MacNeill whistler
entered the atelier Of his class in
Paris and found that red back
ground had been arranged behind the
model. At once he directed some
thing Of duller tone to be substi-
tuted and he scraped the red paint
on the canvas Of one Of the pupiis.
putting In its place another back
ground. But the red would show
through. He scraped. studied and
worked laboriously to get something
that pleased him. The rest OF the
class surrounded the easel and eager
ly watched the master. He looked up
finally and said: II suppose you
know what am trying to dot" "Oh.
yes. sir" they all chorused. "Wen.
it's more than do" he replied, grim
ly, and left the place.

American sv,tem svoer,or.


In 1898 the chief engineer of the
Moscow waterworks was sent to the
United States to Investigate and re-
port ON the American system Of rapid
filtration. On his return to Russia
experiments were undertaken which
demonstrated that by the American
system extremely turbid waters could
be rendered bright and clear at q rate
Of filtration nifty times as fast, and
with only about one-thirtieth of the
space required under the old sand
system. while from . sanitary stand
point the bacteria were reduced over

-PreludIcea of Warsay,t.

Warsaw is said to be the gateway
for the Introduction Of foreign manu-
factures into russia. Conditions here
are favorable to the introduction Of
foreign goods. not only en- account Of
the location geographically. with all
the attendant facilities for shipment.
but more particularly because of q
deep prejudice against German manu-
factures which exist to the extent Of
almost boycott of all German ar
ticles. The French, British and Aus
trian manufacturers have been able to
take advantage of this, and their
salesmen cover this territory fire.

Old Lady Was Anxious to Know Why
He Didn't Use II.
Sir Francis Burnand, in his history
of Punch, tells a story of Sir Arthur
Sullivan's mother. She was dining
with the duke of Edinburgh, when
she startled him by saying: "Sir.
your family name is GUELPH" My
dear mother!" began Arthur, remem-
onstrating. But it is, isn't it," she
persisted. Certainly" replied the
duke, much amused; whats the mat
ter with 1t. Mrs. Sullivan?" "oh.
nothing" returned the excellent. old
lady, nusingly. only l don't under
stand why you don't call yourself by
your proper name" There's nothing
to be ashamed of in the name Of
Guelph" the duke said gravely, and
the old lady assured him that there
was nothing whatever as far as she
knew"

c.mbIlno chanoes the End.

"How the fellow looks who loses or
wins bet on q race horse Is an old
subject, and yet 1t is ever new" said
the observant man. For within my
own limited range Of observations l
have noticed differences more or less
striking in the cases of men who were
manifestly passing through the same
kind of emotion. 1t may be said Of
poolrooms that there is the winning
and losing look, and yet these looks
are as widely different as it is pos
sible for the dissimilarities of the hu-
man countenance to make them.

The habit of swearing is not as COM

Gentlemen no longer use the language
with the urvarnished freedom Of the

was accustomed to consign himself,
collectively and In sections, to the low
est depths Of perdition in the presence
Of ladies while paying tribute to their
