THE GREAT TITAN.
His Was an attracting Genius,
Courtly, Serene, Majestic.

At once q genius and a favorite of
life of pomp and splend'.r serene and
self-coRtained. He was of old and no
bic family, born at Pieve in the noun
tain district of Galore. By the time
that he was IL years old his father,
Gregorio di Conte Vecelli, recognized
that he was destined to be a painter
and sent him to Venice, where he be-
came the pupil first of Bellini, and
then of the great artist Giorgione;
from the first, indeed, he enjoyed every
privilege 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.
III his home at Biri, a suburb of Ven
ice, from which in one direction the
snowclad Alps are visible and in the
other the soft luXuriance of the Nene-
tan lagoon, he maintained a princely
household, associating with the great
est and most accomplished men of
Venice, working on, until he had
reached the age of 90 years. Even
then it was no ordinary ailment, but
the visitation of the plague, that car
ried him off; and such was the honor
in which he was held, that the law
against the burial of the plague-strick-
en- in a church was over-ruled in his
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 mytholo-
gical subjects. In any one of these
departments others have rivaled him,
but his glory is that he attained to
the highest rank is all; he was an art
list of universal gifts. His was an all
embracing genius, courtly, serene, ma
jestic. He viewed the splendor of the
world in big, healthful, ample way
and represented it with the glowing
brush of a supreme master Of color

The siege of Port Arthur has been
compared, in nearly every cable dis
patch that came from London, to the
siege of Sebastopol. There is, how
ever, no close analogy between the
two.
At Sebastopol the siege began Oct.
IL, 1854, with an assault which was re-
pulsed. During the winter that fol-
lowed the Russians were as often the
attacking party as the English and
French. The besieging force was so
depleted by losses in battle and by
sickness that Lord Raglan regarded
the investment as a quasi siege. Rus
sian. sorties were frequent, and al
though they were repulsed they ex-
hausted the besiegers.
The grand assault of the allies on
Malakhov tower and the Redan, June
18. 1855, failed. The sorties of the
Russians two months later was re-
pulsed. The English assault on the
Redan Sept. 8, 1855, failed. On the

THE LISTENER.

When nights last hour with languid feet
delays,
If one rapt soul but listens at morn's
gate
10 mark the silence waking into praise,
He hears the low wind softly circu-
late
The dew-lade, perfumed airs, regen-
crate.
Then, as the dawn reveals her bright
ening face,
And sweet acclaim greets her from
earth and sky,
If man is there-the varied tones to trace
OF rarest bird-songs that in homage
vie,
His listening ear completes the har-
mony.
Earth is an altar, nature is the priest;
The mathis and the vespers all may
hear;
But, when the chant and the canticles
have ceased,
The listener only notes that some
Alone, and heeds the sigh, and marks
the tear.
The low-breathed answer captivates the
heart;
Loves whispered words the souls re-
cesses reach;
The zephyr's signs DER grass grown
graves impart
A peace far deeper than the sophists
teach,
More tender than the trembling as
pens speech.
He hears the deathless echoes of the
past
Who heeds the subtle whispers of to-
day;
And not in vain beside his path are cast
Earth's bloom, and wreckage OF
times beloved spray,
Where life, and love, and death con
tend Away.

BACHELOR FREEDOM

a ISTER had always declared that
- a man was foolish to marry.
~ He gave the usual selfish bach
elor reasons-namely, that a man who
married sacrificed his comfort, re-
signed his independence, increased his
responsibilities and took long chances
on unhappiness into the bargain. His
observation had convinced him that
nine men out of ten who married were
unhappy. "They put the best face on
1t that they can, of course" he said to
Mrs. Nistrin early In their acquaint-
ance. "Some men 1 know pretend to
like it. 1 have had them come crow
ing over me, even"
Mrs. Nistrin laughed. Mrs. Nistrin
was a widow and very clever and en-
Pertaining woman. Gister used rather
to enjoy the evenings he spent at her
house.
"What could 1 gain by marrying?"
continued Gister, addressing the wild
ow. 81 have my apartments, where

How Much Should We Eat.

One of the much discussed questions
of the day on which there are almost
as many opinions as individuals is the
quantity of food one should eat The
most reasonable estimate yet made is
probably that which fixes one-twen-
tieth of the average weight of the
body as the average daily quantity re-
quired. If you weigh 40 pounds, you
should consume seven pounds of food.
This includes drink as well as solid
food. But it is ridiculous to set down
a hard and fast rule. Such a quantity
might kill some, and there is case on
record of a man wasting away on a
diet of seven or eight pounds of food
a day. He cut down his diet to three
quarters Of pound of liquid and the
same of solid food, and as result he
grew stout and lived to a ripe old age.

toward Port Arthur, but exerted them
selves to keep the harbor open. At
Sebastopol the Russians kept the line
of retreat open to the last; at Port
Arthur the line of retreat and supply
from the land side was cut off at
once.
At Sebastopol the besieging army
was not strong enough to make COM
plete investment and for part of the
time was so weak as to be on the de-
fensive. At Port Arthur the besieging
army outnumbered the besieged army
almost four to one. At Sebastopol the
allies had 80 heavy guns of the old
type. At Port Arthur the Japanese
had hundreds Of the heaviest and fin
est of modern guns.
At Sebastopol the allied army was
soon worn to a shadow by arduous
duty, exposure, and pestilence. At Port
Arthur the Japanese army was fresh,
we'll disciplined, we'll equipped, and is
heartily supported by an aggressive
and energetic government. Port Ar
thur was undoubtedly stronger than
was Sebastopol, it was fairly well pro-
visioned and with an army well or
ganiZed for defense, but never before
was any fortress attacked by such an
overwhelming force as the Japanese
hurled against the Russian strong
hold.

The Devils Kitchen, near Bethesda,
in the northern part of Wales, is the
best known spot in the Welsh noun
tain region. 1t has only, strictly
speaking, been assembled twice. 1t is
a deep mountain gorge between two
lofty peaks, and its sides are so pre-
cipitous that they offer little encour-
agement to the mountain climber, how
ever venturesome he may be. Not
withstanding the apparent foolhardi-
ness of the undertaking, several per-
sons have made the attempt. The rope
shown in the cut marks the place
from which a recent climber fell and
lost his life. He was an Englishman
named Hudson, and he had been warn
ed repeatedly of the danger of the as
cent. The authorities have taken
measures to prevent repetition Of the

same day, however, the French car
ried the Malakhov and that night the
Russians retired from South Sebasto-
pol to the north forts, where they re-
manned to the end of the war.
The original besieging force at Sc
bastopol was $1,000 men, with 80 guns.
The Russian army in the Notifications
was $4,000 strong, with the way for re-
enforcement and supplies open. The
theater of the Crlmean war was linn
tied mainly to the vicinity of Sebasto-
pol, and the besiegers were more sore
~ pressed by the privations of war
than the besieged. OF the English
army $500 were Filled or fatally
wounded in battle; 4,244 died of chol-
era; 10000 died of other diseases, and
2,S73 were disabled. The French lost
in the campaign 63,50O men, and the
Turks as many. The war cost Eng
land $2O5, 100000, and the majority Of
the English people regarded the cap
ture of Sebastopol as a barren vic
tory.
The opening of the Port Arthur cam
paign was not unlike the opening of
the Sebastopol campaign. The Alma
of Port Arthur was Kin Chow. After
the battle of Alma in 1854 the Rus
slams went at once to Sebastopol, block
ing the entrance to the harbor. After
Kin Chow the Russians retired slowly

BIRTHDAYS IN JAPAN.

airy, ALI the Boys IN May.
The Japanese have a queer way of
celebrating birthdays. Instead Of a
party in June for little Tama, and
party in September for little O'Tatsu,
and a party in December for little
Ume, there's a party in February in
honor of all the little girls, and one
in May for all little boys. In Febru-
airy every little girl receives from all
her grown-up relatives and friends
gifts of dolls, and beside these dolls
her mother takes out Of the closest
many of the dolls she had when she
was a child, and some even older dolls
that the little girls grandmother had
when she was little tot and 1 dare
say there are dolls that belonged to the
little girls great-grandmother, and
even her great-great- grandmother
quaint dolls in faded clothes of hun
dred years and more ago, carefully
handed down from mother to daughter
ever since. I saw one old doll, about
six inches TALL dressed as daimio, or
great lord of bygone times, in gorgeous
brocade robes covered with steel ar
mour of little overlapping plates, just
as beautifully made as if for q real
warrior He wore a tiny helmet, and
carried two tiny swords not as large
as matches. You could draw the
swords out of their scabboards Just
like real ones, and they were as sharp
as they could be. Well. for about
week all Japan is one grand dolls tea
party. And then the festival is over,
and all the best dolls, even the pres
ents to the little girl, are put carefully
away, never to be even looked at for
whole year. I don't see how the little
Japanese girls can bear that part of It,
Then at the first OF May comes the
boys festival-the Fish Festival, it is
called. Every family that's lucky
enough to have a boy puts up a flag
pole in the door yard; or perhaps sew
eral families combine to use the same
pole, and have it bigger, handsomer
one than one family could afford. On
the top of the pole is a gilt ball, or
else a basket with something bright
and tinsely in 1t. And flying from the
pole, in the brisk spring winds, is
whole string of carp, made of oiled
paper or cloth, painted in bright col
ors, and anywhere from five to fifteen
feet long. Each fish belongs to some
particular boy, and the carp is chosen
because 1t is a big, strong fish, and
not only can swim against the most
rapid currents, but In its eagerness to
get up stream will leap straight I'D
waterfalls. The gold ball means
treasure, which the carp. leaping and
struggling, buffeted by the wind, is
forever trying to reach. And the whole
thing means that the boy, when he's
man, will have to battle his way as
the sturdy carp struggles up the river.
The fishes look so very pretty and gay,
flying over his house, and the boy gets
so many treats at Fish Festival time.

the carp is a nice little jolly lecture on

DREAM CAME TRUE.
This Man Had Vision of Danger to One
Whom He Never K new.

This Man Had Vision of Danger to One
Whom He Never Knew.
Dreams do sometimes come true"
When this happens various explana-
tons are usually offered. The scien-
fist may declare for telepathy, the spir-
itualist for the intervention of 'spir-
dts" and the matter-of-fact man for
simple coincidence. Be that as it may,
the fact still remains that when
dream actually comes to pass" the
history of it appeals to each and ev-
cry one. OF such instances here is an
interesting one" says Andrew Lang in
Longman's Magazine
Il may have told before, some
where, but may be permitted to re-
peat, a story of a dream in deep sleep,
told to me at first hand by the wife Of
real nance, was a Welsh squire,
whose place is in a rural district One
might my informant, Mrs. Thomas,
was awakened by hearing her hus-
band talking in his sleep. He was ex-
citedly crying:
Poor old man! Poor old mani
Mrs. Thomas, to amuse herself, said,
Poor old dear! What is the matter.
with himp Still asleep, her husband
replied, He cannot get out of the fire
and smoke What is his name? ask
ed the woman. After a pause her hus-
band answered: John Methuen,' after
which his comments became iDarticu-
late and ceased.
Next morning Mrs. Thomas asked
her husband what he had been dream
ing about an old man, John Methuen,
in great danger but the dreamer was
unconscious Of having dreamed at all.
The pair left their house for a visit by
rail, before the arrival of the news
paper, and at the little station, found
only the evening paper of the previous
day. 1t contained a paragraph about
the killing of one John Methuen, by
railway engine, on a level crossing.
Now, in this case, few will say that
pure 'f1uke" could give the right name,
the surname not being common Tele-
patty from Methuen to Mr.. Thomas,
whether at the moment of Methuen's
death or after his death, cannot be
explained by personal sympathy, as
Mr.. Thomas had never heard Of the
man in his life.
1t would rathr appear that intellec-
tual rays" had been disengaged by
the accident and had found a recipient
in the deeply sleeping brain or mind
of Mr.. Thomas, perhaps twelve hours
or more after the event. He, again,
would have been none the wiser if his
sleep talking had not been overheard
and remembered.
Obviously if these faculties of I'M
accountable intercommunication do ex-
list, they are of no commercial value,
or of next to none and the plain man
d1smisses them with the inquiry,
What is the use Of them?" He is I'M

quite useless, properties of things"

trim, "she might not"
'@Then wouldn't 1 be an idiot to
want to marry?"

widow, II think you would"
Last winter Mrs. Nistrln decided
that she would close her house and go
to California. She gave a very gay
little dinner party before she went,
which Gister attended He observed
to one of the men that it was almost
pity Mrs. Nistrin was going away.
She would be a distinct loss.
Three weeks later Gister happened
to be in California-on business. OF
course it was only decency to call upon
Mrs. Nistrin while he was there. She
was greatly surprised to see him, but
not displeased-if Gister could judge.
She was dressed most becomingly, Gis-
ter noticed, in something pink.
He did not tell her that business
had brought him. On consideration,
that sounded rather shopworn. He
said: 'It seemed dull and cold in
Chicago-after you left''
Il heard the weather had been
rather disagreeable," she said, with a
queer look.

that subject I was inclined to alter
my v1ews-in fact, 1 have altered
them
WELL" said Mrs. Nistrin, there is
something to be said on both sides,
of course. 1 think that one great
source of domestic unhappiness is the
failure on the part of married people
to realize that whatever concessions
are made, there must be only one real
head to the family-only one decisive
voice. The man usually thinks that
voice should be his. The woman now
adays fails to realize this as perhaps
she should"
