WHISTLER'S MONOGRAM.
Other Artists Have Adopted Queer
Devices For signatures


The mystic embcm or device of a
sort of Wmstcrizrd butterfly was
adopted In the sixties 10y the e~centrIc
genius, James Abbott Whistler who
without any known reason, changed
his namo later to James MacNeiu

Close study VIII reveal that this pc
culiur scroll is really a monogram Of
j W The earliest of the etchings to
bear the butterfly is Chelsea Wharf"
GsG3), but many paintings and etch-
ings after TINT date are signed whist
Ter"
Artists have sometimes signed their
pictures In some distinct form In
stead Of their names. 1t generally was
done when the name might suggest
some emblem or symbol
Thus IIicronymus Cock demarked
two lighting cocks on his panels;
Mariotto Albertinelli signed cross
with two tntcrIaccd rings, referring TO
the saccrdotal duties TO which at one
time Of his life he devoted himself;
Martin Rota, a wheel; Pieter de Ryng,
a ring with a diamond; Giovanni Dos
81, a bone, Del Mazo MARTINEZ, n ham
mer; Lionello Spada, sword.
Sometimes caprice dictated the selec-
ton, as when Jacopo de Barber used
the caduceus, or Mercury rod; Hendrix
dc Blcs. an owl; Lucas Cranach, n
crowned serpent; Cornelius Engel-
brechtscn, n peculiar device resem-
bling a weather vane, and Hans Uol-

Town to England" writes a traveller,
Il shared my cabin with a peculiar
man. whose name was Lazaprs. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage | would prevent his
burial at sea He said that on a pre-
vious voyage ne had fallen sick and
was taken for dead and put into a sack
for burial \ quartcrmaster had been
put ON to watch the body until 1t was
time for tho funeral When the burial
party arrived the quartermaster in
formed the captain that he thought the
body had moved in the sack The sack
was opened. and Lazarus eventually
came 10 life again Such was the
story Lazarus told me Lazarus was
q thin man with n Sallow face. lie
had an enormous appetite and appear
ed at every meal, To which he devoted
his Whole energies The good feeding
only seemed TO add to his corpselike
appearance one evening, sure enough,
when we were about halfway to our
voyages end, he apparently died again.
The doctors took him in charge this
time. however and lie came out of his
trance without any shotted sack cpl
s0dc lie was met at the London
docks by a number of relatives and
friends all of whom looked as If they
