Ibsen and Painting.
the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
An old friend of Ibsen. Mr.. Paulsen, has
lately published in the Norwegian press
some interesting memories of the drama
lists connection with art. In his earlier
years Ibsen was a serious art student. and
at one time thought of devoting himself en-
tirely to painting. Some OF his paintings
and drawings are still to be found In pri-
vate collections In Norway. But after the
composition of The Comedy of Love" and
1.-THE Pretenders,' he definitely abandoned
painting for letters. His youthful connec-
ton with painting was not forgotten, how
ever, by the Norwegian government, and in
1873 he was appointed on the jury of fine
arts. During his residence in Dresden he
showed little interest in the fine arts; in
deed, 1t IS said that he spent two years In
that city before he visited the celebrated
galleries. When he first moved to Munich
he held quite aloof from the Norwegian art
colony established there; but later on his
interest revived and he filed his house with
paintings, chiefly of the early Italian school.
He was very proud of his collection. but his
Judgment was by no means infallble, ana
many of the pictures which he fondly be-
lieved to be originals proved to be copies
when submitted to keener judges Many
passages in his works manifest his deep
love and appreciation Of paintings

What fine thing it would have been for

one green with envy to think of those
former times when people knew little or
nothing about anatomy and when they
called things by their right names When
they were i'll tempered or jealous or melan-
choly they said they were, instead of put

do now. When physicians are called in
and find themselves at a loss to know just
what is the matter with the patlent,-and
even the very cleverest of them sometimes
do find themselves in that humiIiatng posi-

Intangible Taxes" in Texas.
From the Worlds Work


The people OF Texas wonder why the ma
ton is so perturbed about regulating rail-
road rates. It is one of their many distfnc-
lions that they regulate not only the rates,
but the railroads themselves. Nor do they
fear the growth of an American plutocracy.
ut is Just as easy to manage the corpora

even from 1.-The forks of the creeks and the
heads of the canyons Indeed, after taxing
every visible bit of corporation property in
Texas-and some additional miles of rail-
road that projected over the border-the
last legislature, after deep and subtle
thought, somewhat hard to explain, but
really very enlightened, passed an 'intan-

Experience however, shows that such

of all observers that have been much among

there is emigrea from Switzerland little

1t is sometimes claimed that the surgeon
or the physician is the only man who Is
paid for his mistakes. but that Isl clearly
untrue. Lawyers receive fees for the cases
that they lose and other men are not
'.docked' whenever they fall short of COM
pfete success. The truth Is that the idea
of human compensation is based upon In
telligent, honest effort and reputed skill. If
all fees and salaries were contingent upon
absolute perfection In the task undertaken
they would have to he increased many times
over, since absolute perfection or complete
success is very rare in any line of activity.
