Mistakes in Pictures.
From the Chicago News.

1rom the SnfcaXo NeWe
A well-meaning artist Of the eighteenth
century painted a picture in which Abra-
ham was depicted as about to sacrifice
Isaac with blunderbuss. The actual event
which the artist had striven to depict ante
dated the use Of firearms by about 5000
years. There are also pictures of the
Israeiites crossing the Red sea, the men
armed with muskets and other weapons of
modern manufacture. In the matter of
costume the early painters found a stum-
bling block. In the Edinburgh National
Gallery Is a picture in which Pharaoh's
daughter and her ladies are arrayed In the
long-waisted bodices and hooped skirts
fury.
In another picture OF the same date, rep
resenting Joseph and His Kindred in
Egypt" which Is hung In the national COL
lection In London. there Is no trace of the
distinctive features of Egyptian architec-
In type In a painting by Paolo Veronese
in the same gallery. The Family of Darius
at the Feet Of Alexander After the Battle
of Issus," the women wear pointed waists
and enormously distended skirts, although
the Incident occurred in the year $50 b. g.
The artist was Venetian. and he drew the
Venetian costumes of his own period,
152S-SS.
Raphael. like SO many others, drew his
Madonnas. his saints and his martyrs from
Italian models and clothed them In con-
temporary italian costume, giving the fix-
ures as q background the scenery with
which he was SO familiar. It was only
when travellers came to visit the Holy Land
and saw the people there. unchanged In
sentiment. habit and customs for centuries
that they came to realize that the pictures
were wrong.

A Submarine Battle,
From Forest and Stream,

From Forest and Stream.
On shallow shore Of Long Island, near
New York. extend long sandy beaches.
These often are Interrupted by creeks or
little inlets into which the tide runs at high
water. running out again when the tide
falls. Standing on a bridge over one OF
these runways happened. to see big crab
making a dinner upon a piece Of fish which
he held firmly in one claw. Around him.
but at a safe distance, were several smaller
crabs. who did their best to Join in the big
crabs dinner. Meanwhile. the big fellow
had no time to loiter over his meal. for in
spite Of his clever sparring with his free
hand every now and then one of his small
enemies succeeded in making a successful
raid. and retreated safely with bit of the
fish.
Still. between attacks. big Mr. Crab was
holding his provisions so fast that the little
pirates would soon be defeated, unless they
could invent a better plan Of attack They
had been making quick dashes and still
quicker retreats. but the big crab by wheel
Ing to and fro and by striking out or snap
ping his nippers at them, made a successful
defense. He had only to turn as IL on a
some distance. Therefore, the small FRY
consulted their ingenuity, and adopted a
new plan OF attack. One by one they sour
ried up stream. keeping near its banks, un-
til they were about eight feet above the de-
fender of the fish. AS each reached the
right distance he would launch himself into
the swiftest part of the current. and let
himself be whirled downward
BY the time the young cruiser-crab was
opposite the big battleship-crab be would
be going SO fast that 1t was hard to hit him
or to grip him, and yet he. keeping head
on. and having to make no effort, except a
single. quick grab at the fish, was able to
score a frequent success. No sooner did
the big battleship-crab avoid one little
cruiser than another was upon him, and
his store OF food rapidly diminished Seeing
that his defense was overcome, the big fell
low gave up any attempts to fight, and de-
voted himself to eating as fast as possible.
In few moments the fish was gone ana
the battle was over. But 1t certainly was
for both parties to the battle. Civilization
has its advantages

SOUTH SHORE
Republican, Nov. "a, 1895.

DR.. o. G. Frink purchased the VIM.
Pryor property recently, and now
trades it to Gene Wartenbee for his
farm out on the Sioux river. The

them will be occupied by the John

Rural Mail Route Inspector C. F.
Egge was in South Shore Tuesday
afternoon and in company with a rep
resentative of the Republican, went
| out on q tour of inspection over the
territory embraced in the petition for
a third rural mail route out of South
Shore. The new route petitiOned for
runs north and west of South Shore,
and reaches a large number of people
who have no mail facilities other than
the towns tributary to them. Mr.. Egge
did not find quite the full number OF
houses required by the %pOstoffice de-
partment for the establishment OF a
rural mail route, but he was very
%favorably impressed with the neces-
sity OF the proposed route. and in
formed us that he would recommend
it's establishment in his report to the
department.. This means a good deal,
andthere is no question but that the
route will go in within a short time.
possibly by January lst.
The establishment of this route will
be a splendid thing for the farmers
north and northwest of town, and
there is general rejoicing over the
bright prospects for the new route.
