PORTRAITS OF ANCESTORS
Where Many of the Pictures Come
From.

From.
"Some enterprising and aspiring peo>
pie in this city recently had splenalu
opportunity to add to their family por'
trait gallery" said an artist OF local
renown to a Washington Star writer.
"There was q sale of the effects or
portrait painter and 1t included scores
of portraits in oil of men and women
with distinguished looking features. A
great many people wondered what
value such portraits could have to peo-
pie who had no personal interest in
them and who did not even know who
they were.
But they had a value that was
known to some of the wiser ones. They
were bought up at cheap prices and al
ready adorn the home of some OF our
citizens who were little shy on fam
lily portraits. A dozen or so portraits
in oil of distinguished looking men and
women do not go begging when their
value in adding to the social standing
of people is considered.
once ueuTQ VI lulliy ihctuhNS "a
a family that had liberal display OF
family portraits. A friend Of mine
was visiting their home and glancing
around the room he spied a portrait
that he had had painted of himself, but
which he had declined to accept be-
cause it failed to portray his likeness
we'll enough for his most intimate
friend to recognize it.
Whom does that portrait repre-
sent?" he asked his friend.
"'Well, you see,' he replied, our
family portraits are so old that l cam
not now tell who they all are. They
have been in the family long time,
you know. But they are all numbered
and noted on a list that is filed away
somewhere. That, think however, is
a picture of my great-great-grandfath-
er on my mothers side of the family.
The picture was painted when he was
40 years Of age by a celebrated art
iSt"
By that time the guest was so great
ly interested in another portrait that
he heard no more. Later he learned
that the rejected portrait of himself
and many more of the same kind had
been bought up by his host to do duty
as family portraits at his home.

HORSEPOWER Versus Man-Power.

Easterly from Bath, Me-, among the
coast islands, runs a crooked and in
tricate channel, through which ply
small steamers carrying freight and
passengers as far as Boothbay Har-
Dor There are many bays and mar
rows along the way, and the confused
tides beget unruly currents which have
given the channel the name of Hell

A ''resorter" living near the Booth
bay end Of the route received word
last summer that some friends would
be down on the Sunday boat from
Boston, reaching Bath in the evening.
Unfortunately there was no small
steamer connecting with 1t, and no
way for them to come over till Mon
day. Not wishing to leave them to the
tender mercies Of a hotel, the resorter
applied to a neighboring native for
aid.

A SCULPTURED ROCK.

In the western part of Persia stands
the rock of Behistun, which means the
place of the Gods" 1t is an i'm
mense cliff rising LOO feet out of the
level plain. On this huge rock King
Darius the Great left to posterity the
record of his mighty deeds. Far up
the granite face, 500 feet from the
ground, the ancient sculptors, obeying
the royal command, did their work,
and did 1t 80 well that it exists almost
unimpaired to the present day. Pro-
fessor Jackson of Columbia University
has recently paid visit to Behistun.
An account of his experience is given
in the New York Times.
1t was early in the morning when
the saddle first sighted the great SEN
tinel of stone that was to be the scene
of his exciting labors In the cause of
science. At noon the party reached
the base of the rock and established
their camp. The day had been hot,
but the night brought keen chill.
High above the little huts of the dwell
ers Behistun pushed its cloud-capped
head into the purple, star-studded dome
Of the Persian night.
Before dawn the professor and his
party were stirring. The caravan in
Guided five Persian guides, experts in
climbing. Inch by inch they crept up
the stone. Every tiny crack. every
knob of rock yielded service to their
nimble toes and fingers. AS they
wormed and wriggled their way up
ward they pulled Professor Jackson
after them with ropes of hair. The
breaking of a rope or the slipping of a
tired hand or foot might have sent the
whole party to death; but the ascent
was accomplished without accident,
and at last the climbers threw them
selves. exhausted, on the narrow ledge
that runs along the base of the in
scription made by Persia's great king.
An inspection of the work of the an
cient artists showed that a consider
able space had been chiseled into
smoothness. This contained two rows
Of tablet inscriptions in three Ian
SudSNS- ~ iSt ldDlCl VI StulDluItu
figures shows Darius pronouncing judg-
ment on ten captive kings.
Professor Jackson spent four days
upon the rock, making as minute an
examination as possible. The upper
tablets were beyond reach, and he
begged the guides to allow him to use
ladder. This they stoutly refused on
account of a high wind which was
blowing at the time. The professor
copied, collated and verified the in
scription, and took a number of photo
graphs of the tablets. These he Sc
cured by leaning out backward over
the precipice, held in mid-air by the
guides
The writings of the great king end
with a malediction pronounced upon
the head of him who shall destroy the
record. Darius has returned to dust,
but no one has dared to brave the
maledictlon. Only a cataclysm of ma
ture or the blowing of the wind or the
driving of the rain will efface this tale
of mighty deeds.
