TWO GREAT ARTISTS.
the Difference Between the Work Of
Reynolds ard Gainsboroush.

The >o'.uast between these two
great artists, Reynolds and Gains
borough. J., almost the difference
between art and nature. REYNOLDS
Vas learned IN what other painters
had done and had reduced his own
art 10 a system. Gainsborough
found almost everything for him
self-ncycr lost the simple, natural
way of looking at things and people
and painted not according to rule,
but at the dictates OF what he felt.
REYNOLDS planned out his effects ;
Gainsborough painted on the spur
of the impression which the subject
aroused. Reynolds art was based
on safe, general principles. Gains
bOrough's was the fresh and spon-
taneous expression of his tempera-
ment-depcnding, that l. to say, on
feeling rather than on calculation.
His temperament, or habit Of mind,
was dreamy and poetic, gentle and
retiring, including small range of
experience. Reynolds, on the other
hand, was man of the world and
of business capacity, intimate with
Samuel johnson, Oliver Goldsmith
and other celebrities of the day; a
man of knowledge and clever con
vocational power, whose pictures
by their variety prove his versatile
ty. Consequently when the Royal
academy was established in ltGS he
was elected president by acclama-
ton and was knighted by George
Ill, an honor that has ever since
been bestowed on the holder of this
office.
These two men were at the head
of the group of portrait painters
who in the latter part of the eight
zenith century and in the early years
of the succeeding one added luster
to the new growth of art in Eng
/ land.-Charlcs II. Colin in Cen

WHlSTLER'S WAYS.
Winning Street Children as Models and
Then firing Them Out.

The late famous bat eccentric
artist, James Mcneil Whistler, had
this gift of winning children to like
and trust him. His friend, Mr..
AIcnpes, has drawn an amusing pic
ture Of how he would proceed with
some stray little child of the streets
whose beauty or picturesque tatters
had caught his eye. A few words
and a smile and the child would ac-
company him to her home. A hard
er step was in explaining to the
mother, who was willing enough she
should be painted, but certain to de-
sire to wash her up and put on her
best clothes, that she must come
just as she was. But that conceded
and due payment promised, he
would sail off triumphantly with the
ragged mite trotting trustingIy at
his side And when Mr.. Whistler
and his model had arrived at the
studio the artist would cry gayly:
Now we are going to do great
things together.''
Then he would prepare a lunch
con, set the table, and final "a
moment Of breathless interest to the
small girl, who had been allowed to
help in all the preparations-he
would cook and turn a beautiful
omelet and serve it blazing hot on a
big platter. They would have a gay
and festive meal together-and
after that, business. He would pose
the o-ild and begin to paint.
Once he began to paint he quite

Shoeblacks Abroad,

The British consul general in
Warsaw reports: IAN attempt was
made in 1901 to introduce shoe
blacks in the streets of Warsaw,
bur it was complete failure, as, al
though the public evinced the
greatest curiosity in the novelty
and a crowd assembled whenever
any one had his shoes BACKED, the
publicity was such that few could
be found TO submit to the ordeal,
and the shoeblacks, failing to make
a living, had to be withdrawn" New

Or. Os.er SAYS yoi can't diminish
the birth rate of Quebec. In the
year 1920 the late Hon. IL. MERCER,
then prime minister Of the province,
had a law passed by the provincial
legislature granting leo acres Of the
public lands to each father and
mother of twelve living children,
and last year a return was made to
the house of those who had taken
advantage of this act. This return
shows that there were more than
$500 families of twelve living chill
drcn in the province, while some
were boosted Of seventeen, eighteen,
nineteen, and one even ran up t.
twenty-threc.
According to the last report Of
the provincial compiler Of vital sta
tistirs-that IS to say, for 1903
COILS births were registered, which
gives birth rate Of 800 per 1000
of the population.

Doc With Hoofs.

A dog with hoofs like a COW is
owned by Daniel Brown and is a
cross between a shepherd and a
spaniel. 1t was purchased by Brown
from Miles Dickey, Panhandle en-
gineer. three years ago when a pup,
but not until recently did the hoofs
grow on its feet, and the owner is
at loss to know how to account
for them. The growth has appeared
on all four feet and is as hard as
horn. When the dog walks across
the board floor of the saloon where
it is kept there is sound like the
pattering of a couple of children
with wooden shoes. = lndianapoli.

Timber In India,

There is growing demand in In
dia for timber other than teak, ow-
ing to the increase of factories and Of
coal mines, while there is also Il
large export. The oldest form of
cultivation practiced by the forest
tribes of India was. to burn a good
patch of woodland, leaving all the
trunks bare and black, and then to
SOW among the fertilizing ashes a
miserable crop of grain. This was
done for two years, by which time
the jungle plants grew up and chok-
cd everything, In this way perhaps
$4,000 worth of timber was killed to
grow $50 worth of grain. As some
Of these tribes to this day know no
other way to grow corn, they resent
being interfered with and revenge
themselyes by arson, and more for
ests are DESTROYED.

is a description of a soapy lake IN

and commerce Of Nicaragua. This
sheet of water, the Lake of Ncjapa,
contains a strong solution of blcar-

The First National Bank of To-
peka failed for the usual cause.
1t loaned two and half times
the amount of it's capital, surplus
and undivided profits to the TWEEN
ty-slx corporations which were
controlled by the man who owned
most of the bank. Few banks
fail except from making excessive
loans, and bank officers rarely
make excessive loans except TO
themselves. This bank may pay
all it's obligations. The collateral
it holds may prove to be worth all
it is held for. But the officers of
the bank owned by Mr. Devlin are
not competent judges of the value
of the shares of the other compa-
MES owned by Mr. Devlin; they
can hardly be expected to refuse
money to the man who owns the
bank and who hires them. Mr.
Devlin owned several banks, and
he appears to have acquired them
less for the dividends to be got on
their shares than for the oppor-
tunity to borrow very much more
of their deposits than he would
have allowed his banks to lend to
any one else.
