THE GREAT TITAN.
His Was an All Embracing Genius
COurtIy. Serene Mafestic

His Was an All Embracing Genius,
COurtly, Serene, Majestic.
At once a genius and a favorite Of
fortune, Titan moved through his long
life Of pomp and splendor serene and
self contained. He was of old and no
BILE family, born at Pieve, In the noun
tain district OF Galore. By the time
that he was eleven years old his ia
ther, Gregorio di Conte Vecelli, recog-
nized that he was destined to be
painter and sent him to Venice, where
he became the pupil first of Bellini and
then of the great artist Giorgine. From
the first indeed he enjoyed every privi-
lege that an artist of his time could
need. The doge and council Of Venice
recognized his ability, as did the dukes
of Ferrara and Mantua. AS the years
went on kings, popes and emperors
were his friends and patrons. In his
home at Biri, suburb of Venice, from
which in one direction the snowclad
Alps are visible and in the other the
he maintained princely household, as
sociating with the greatest and most
accomplished men of Venice, working
on until he had reached the age of
ntnety-nine years. Even then it was
no ordinary ailment, but the visitation
of the plague, that carried him off, and
such was the honor in which he was
held that the law against the burial of
the plague stricken in a church was
overruled in this case, and he was laid
in the tomb which he had prepared for
himself in the great Church of the
Frari
No artists life was so completely
and sustainedly superb, and such, too,
is the character of his work. He was
great in portraiture, in landscape, in
the painting of religious and mytholog-
ical subjects. In any one of these de-
partments others have rivaled him, but
his glory is that he attained to the
highest rank in all. He was an artist
of universal gifts. His was an all en-
bracing genius. courtly, serene, majes-
tic. He viewed the splendor of the
world in a big, healthful, ample way
and represented it with the glowing
brush of a supreme master of color

Most men who own a good watch
said a jeweler, think they know all
about 1t. They have the number fixed
in their memory in case it is stolen
They could probably pick it out from
fifty other watches with their eyes
shut. But how many men know that
their watch is a compass and will tell
north from south as accurately as II
will tell the time of day? Stanley, the
explorer, did not know it until he had
CROPPED his way through the dark cont
nent and met Belgian sailor on the
coast. Every watch is compass. If
you point the hour hand to the sun,
the south Is exactly halfway between
the hour and the figure XII on the
dial Suppose, for instance, it is 4
o'clock Point the hand indicating 4
to the sun and II on the watch is ex.
actly south. If it Is 8 o'clock, point the
hand indicating to the sun and the
figure X on the dial is due south No
man need get lost If he carries q
watch"

HOW HOMES ARE LOST.

They let their insurance run out.
They bought things they did not need
because they were cheap.
They subscribed for everything they
could pay for on the installment plan.
The father always intended to get his
life insured, but died without doing So
They did not realize how easy it is to
get into debt and how hard it is to get
out.
Money enough went down in drink
and up in smoke to have saved the
home
They tried to do what others expect
ed of them rather than what they
could afford
They thought 1t small to insist on
having an agreement or understanding
put in writing.
They could not say mo" and could
not afford to tell their friends, 81 can
not afford it."
When the shoe began to pinch they
really did not see where they could
retrench." Habit had made Injuries
seem observation-disclosures.

This story was told by an old physi-
clan who had practiced for nearly fifty
years in small country town. One
day he was summoned to farmhouse,
where he found a woman in high fe-
yer and evidently exceedingly i'll. He
said to her husband, who was the only
other person in the house:
Your wife is very sick and must
have nothing to eat except milk and
beef tea, but 1 want you to give her a
cup of one or the other every two
hours" When he came the next morn
ing and asked about his patient her
husband said:
THAT beef tea don't agree with her,
doctor; it certainly don't. She began
to feel bad as soon as she took it."
That's odd" said the doctor. You
didn't give her any little bits Of the
meat in it, did your
mo, sir; l strained it first on account
of the grounds

my club whom should l run right into
but the dearest little woman God ever
made. Old chap, don't know how it
happened, but actually she let me walk
down the avenue with her, and when
we came across a ragged urchin at a
corner with little punches of jasmine
tied with Irvine she actually half turn
ed for second. Suddenly saw the big
tears well in her eyes The collar
seemed to be troubling him again.
Her home in New Orleans was liter

queen she said, Don't you want to get

want to, indeed! And, by Jove, old
chap, If she didn't pin them in her cir

Very Old Trees.

An old yew tree stands in the church
yard at Fortingal, in Perthshire, which
De Candolle nearly a century ago
proved to the satisfaction Of botanists
to be twenty-five centuries old, and an
other is still standing at Hedsor, in Bu-
elias, which Is 3,240 years old. How De
Candolle arrived at an apparently cor
rect estimate of the enormous age Of
these living trees is a simple thing, and
the principle is doubtless well known
today to all The yew, like most other
trees, adds one line, about the tenth of
an inch, to its circumference each year.
But the oldest living thing in the world
today as far as known is a cypress tree
in Chapultepec, Mexico, that is $3.50
years old.

SECRETS OF THE HAND.


Things That Are Revealed to the
Touch of the Blind.
The handshake of some people makes
you think of accident and sudden
death. Contrast this Ill boding hand
with the quick, skillful, quiet hand Of
a nurse whom l remember with af-
lection because she took the best care
of my teacher. have clasped the
hands of some rich people that spin
not and toll not and yet are not beau
tiful. Beneath their soft, smooth
roundness what a chaos of undevelop-
ed character!
All this is my private science Of
palmistry, and when I tell your for
tune it is by no mysterious intuition
or gypsy witchcraft, but by natural,
applicable recognition of the embossed
character in your hand. Not only is
the hand as easy to recognize as the
face but it reveals its secrets more
openly and unconsciously People con-
troll their countenances, but the hand
Is under no such restraint. 1t relaxes
and becomes listless when the spirit
is low and detected, the muscles tight
en- when the mind Is excited or the
heart glad, and permanent qualities
stand written on it all the time.
AS there are many beauties of the
face, so the beauties of the hand are
many. Touch has it's ecstasies. The
hands of people Of strong individuality
and sensitiveness are wonderfully mo-
bile. In glance of their finger tips
they express many shades of thought
Now and again l touch fine, grace
full, supple wristed hand which spells
with the same beauty and distinction
that you must see in the handwriting
of some highly cultivated people l
wish you could see how prettily little
children spell in my hand. They are
wild flowers of humanity and their
finger motions wild flowers of speech

There was once in New York an Irish
tailor whose eccentricities threatened
to bring trouble to him, but whose wit
always saved him. One morning a
Mrs. Murphy came into his shop and
found him working laboriously with a
pencil and piece Of paper. She asked
him what he was doing and he replied
that he was making out a list of the
men on the block whom he could whip.
rs Murphy's name therer' inquired
that mans WIFE The tailor confessed
that, like Abou Ben Adem's, Murphy's
name headed the list When Murphy
heard of this he came to the shop with
belligerence in his eyes. He inquired
If the report was true. "Sure an it's
true. Phwat of it?' returned the
tailor. You little grasshopper," said
Murphy, Il could commit suicide on

MOTHER OF PEARL.
The Industry of InIaying 1t In Pre-
ciOus Woods.

The Industry of InIaying 1t In Pre-
ciOus Woods.
The sole curiosity for sightseers in
the city of Hanoi, town of the French
Tonquin, is the industry of inlaying
mother of pearl in precious woods. In
fact, one street, called the Street of the
Inlayers, is given up to the trade. The
workmen are genuine artists, combin-
ing artistic perception with great man
ual skill. Furnished with rude tools,
but with great patience and skill, these
workmen produce articles of great
beauty. They have applied the prAnci-
pie of division Of labor, or SPECIALIZE
ton, to their work. The cabinet max
ers first put together the various parts
Of the materials to be incrusted. The
joining is done without the aid of nails
and with a nice system of dovetailing
and use of paste, of which lacquer is
the base. From this cabinet maker the
wood passes into the hands of the de-
signer, who makes sketches for its or
namentation on rice paper.
These designs are transferred to the
wood by the inlayer, whose duty it is
to choose the pearl that will best serve
to bring out the beauty of the design.
The mother of pearl is obtained from a
large species of shellfsh, called casque,
caught chiefly upon the shores of the
island Of Poulocondar
The fnlayer cuts the pieces of pearl
into little bits and chooses the combi-
nation of colors which will make the
contrast necessary for the artistic sue
cess of his work. The iridescence is
heightened by the use of pearl dust
furnished by kind of mussel taken
from the brooks of that region When
the bits of mosaic are chosen the in
layer tries to give them the form of the
design chosen and disposes them as a
mosaic in the wood. The crude morsel
is made translucent by pumice stone.
The pearl is then fixed In a wise, and
the labor Of patience begins. Kneeling
before the wise, he shapes the pieces
with file no larger than an ordinary
color crayon. When the pearl is shaped
it is necessary to trench it in the wood.
This is ordinarily done by children
fourteen or fifteen years old The bits
of pearl are then set in the grooves
and fixed with paste. The whole is
gently heated to melt the paste and so
fill the interstices The design is then
polished, vanished and given the fin
ishing touches. The work has been
cOunterfeited but never successfully

New Use Of the
Subjunctive
By CATHERINE BURGESS

C~~~~~~o~~
Margaret White was tired of COM
muting, tired of the daily ride on the
elevated road from Christopher street
to One Hundred and Twenty fifth
street, very tired of the crowded class
room at the end of it, so it is not
strange that her mind, idle through
design and strenuous through habit,
picked out the broad shouldered young
man who strobe into the car at Forty
second and off again at One Hundred
and Sixteenth street regularly as the
morning came as pleasant enough
plaything
Not that he was particularly good
looking. He was distinguished only by
general purposefulness, eyes that
looked neither to the right nor to the
left, but buried themselves in the
morning paper; general air Of being
alone and liking it, which appealed to
her state of being alone and not lik-
Ing it.
Lately, instead of the newspaper be
had each morning drawn a book from
his pocket and Immediately become
absorbed in it. 1t was not altogether
a pleasant book, to judge from his face,
which betrayed at times great irrita-
ton of spirit. Its covers were protected
by paper slip, calculated to balk the
curiosity of whomsoever it might not
concern. Margaret undoubtedly fell
within this category, but that did not
occur to her. An intentional device to
arouse her curiosity could not have sue
ceeded better.
One morning 1t CHANGED that the side
Of the car he always took was occupied
by italian laborers, dirty and malodor-
GUS. With hardly glance at them
and none at her, the man dropped into
the seat at Margaret's side and produc-
ed his book. Alas! A side glance at it
revealed only a Spanish grammar!
Margaret could not have told what she
had expected, but the unromantic fact
suddenly let the whole affair down to
the level Of every day The world again
seemed cut out Of one dingy piece, and
all its uses fat, stale and Improbable

Icnthyosaurus is a name much jest
ed with because it rivals the mastodon
as a most widely known fossil, dating
back to its discovery by Sir Edward
R. Home, between 1914 and 1919, in
the marine deposits of Lyme-Regis.
England The name, signifying fish
lizard" shows that this animal i'm
pressed KONG, its describer, as having
a fshlike backbone combined with a
shoulder girdle of the lizard or saurian
type. This term could not have been
more happily chosen, because, while re-
tanning the skeleton of an atavistic and
extremely ancient lizard, the ichthyo-
saur evolved a most strikingly modern
external likeness to certain very IA
miliar animals of the sea-Henry Fair
field Osborn in Century.

How an Infant school was Founded.

How an Infant school Was Founded.
1t is well known that the Society Of
Friends objects to all war. This con-
scientious feeling has sometimes placed
individual Quakers In an awkward po-
sition.
For instance, during the war against
the first Napoleon a ship that was part
~ owned by Friend captured Dutch
vessel. The long continuance Of the
state Of war prevented him for several
years from compromising the owner
and sailors Of the seized vessel In ac-
cordance with his principles In the
meantime he invested the money re-
ceived as his share of the prize, and
when at last peace was declared he
paid it over, with interest to date, to
those who had suffered by the capture
of the vessel.
Not being able to find them all, he
founded with the rest of the money a
free infant school in Amsterdam, this
being the port from which the Dutch
ship had sailed. The school was the
first Of the kind set up in the city, and
it was housed in a building called
Hollands Welfare" which was the
name Of the captured vessel.

Among the 145 distinct languages
spoken in British India are some pos
sessing only few hundred words, 9th
ers rivaling English, as DIR. Grierson
says, or Russian, as l would say, in
their copiousness, some in which every
word is a monosyllable, others in
which some are elongated by aggluti-
nation till they run to ten syllables,
like da-pa-l-ocho-akan -tahen-tae- tin-a-e
a Sontah word, meaning "He who be-
longs to him who belongs to me will
continue letting himself be made to
fight" Some Of these divers tongues
lack verb and noun, others are as COM
pick and systematic as Greek and Lat
in.-Nineteenth Century.
