New Portrait Of Turner.

From the London News
A hitherto unknown portrait Of Turner,
the great artist, has been unearthed under
somewhat romantic conditions. Some ten
years ago Mr.. w. Kilsby, well-kuown
collector was passing through Seven Dials
when his attention was attracted by a
shop. The picture quickly changed hands
for a very small sum.
Recently Mr.. Kilsby had the portrai.
cleaned. This resulted in the name OF
Turner being found in the left-hand bot
tom corner. together with two other sig-
natures, which are almost lllegibfs There
were Indications that the work mus. have
been the product of two or more artists,
from the dissimilaTity of the handling of
parts Of the face and drapery. The Oldest
reliner at the national gallery, who knew
Turner very we'll, declared that 1t was a
most excellent likeness of the great land
scape painter, and Mr.. Bassett, VINO was
!, on terms of friendship with Turner. ex-
Kilsby had the portrait photographed, and
forwarded copy to Mr.. w. p. Firth. II. A.,
an old-time intimate personal friend of
Turner. Writing to Mr.. Xilsby, Mr.. Firth
said the photograph was undoubtedly a
likeness of Turner, whom he knew well.
Mr.. Kilsby took the picture 10 Mr.. Firth.
who at once pronounced it an admirable
presentment of his old friend. The d.scov-
cry of the painting, which measures 20 by
80 inches, Is important, tnasmuch as there
are only three authenticated portraits OF
Turner, and one Of these Is little more
academician on vanishing day" unknown
to the original. The canvas discovered by
Mr.. Kilsby shows Turner when az the
height of his fame.

Individuality in the Home.
From Harper's Bazar


individuality may express itself in many
ways, primarily in the selection Of colors
and furnishings which we distinctly like.
refusing to become mere copyists or blind
ly to follow advice which will make our
homes utterly uncongenial to us and to our
families. If we love the beautiful and wish
our homes to be artistic and satisfying we
will consider everything carefully from the
standpoint of simplicity and harmony, and
If we are inexperienced and realize our
those who have learned the secrets Of color,
materials, ETC.. but there is always choice
and the choice should be what will be most
congenial to us.
Some people naturally surround them
selves with rich, warm reds, finding them
selves happiest under those conditions and
we cannot but acknowledge that the selec-
ton suits them exactly. Others may appre-
ciate and admire the beauties of the red
room and yet find 1t utterly impossible to
associate 1t with their own daily surround
ings.
One may prefer blue. another green. The
lover Of blue may live In a room with a
cold north light, and, knowing the cold ma
ture of her favorite color, hesitate to yield
to her inclination, but she may compromise
oy combining the necessary yellow with the
blue and still cling to her own distinctive
color II yellow Is the favOrite color, let
that predominant and tone 1t down with
blue. By yielding partly. to the laws Of art
and science we can usually succeed in car
rying out our own schemes.

Mammoth Pepper Tree.

Carpnteria Correspondence Los Angeles Times.
In the southern part of Santa Barbara
county, close up to the foothills of the San
ia Ynez mountains that almost surround
the valley of Carpinteria, there stands a
specimen Of the pepper tree that il interest
ing, owing to its massive proportions. II
adorns the home of Gideon E. Franklin. one
Of Sanat Barbara county's citizens.
The tree was planted by a former pro-
prietor of the estate about twenty years
ago. One foot above the ground the giant
trunk measures twelve feet in circumfer-
ence. 1t soon divides itself into three well
developed bodies which have respectively
an Individual girth of four feet eight inches,
four feet nine inches and six feet one inch,
or a combined circumference of fifteen feet
six inches.
The longest boughs have an almost uni
form reach of thirty-three feet, giving q
nearly circular diameter of sixty-six feet.
Some fifteen feet Of the longest limbs have
been cut off in order to preserve the regu-
larity of its form. The height Of the tree is
between forty and fifty feet.
The tree is supposed to be the largest OF
its kind in the state.

Regular Meals for Invalids.
From the Housekeepel

From the Housekeeper
A very important point is the regularity
with which the meals Of patient are serv-
ed; this is one reason why patients pick
up strength so quickly in a hospital, for
there the food is given with the same
regularity as the medicine. and is quite as
important, since sick people respond quick
ly to method in any phase Of their treat
ment.
One should OF course, always battle the
hands and face Of the patient just before
bringing in the tray. and see that the nails
are clean. For this purpose an orange
wood stick may be hung from the head Of
the bed upon a narrow ribbon or tape and
tucked under the top of the pillow out Of
the way whenever it is not in use. If the
patient has been bathed shortly before, a
napkin wrung out of slightly scented water
will refresh as well as battle the face and
hands; use eau de cologne or rosewater,
adding 1t to soft rain water, and apply
with a WORKOUT napkin. One must tickle
the palate Of an invalid In roundabout
fashion; first. the sense of sight and smell
should be appealed to, and then the palate
itself will yield more readily.

To Study in the Orient.
EPITAPH IN SHORTHAND.
Pathetic Inscription on Dead Wife's
Tomb-Her Dying Study.

AoAAb-4ACA lying SSooys
From the London Express
A pathetic story centers round a large
white marble tombstone in Hampstead
cemetery, the inscription on which lie writ
ten in Pitman's reporting style of short
hand.
The symbols. which occupy but a small
space on the stone, are composed OF lead
let into the marble. The full translation is
as follows:
I'm loving memory of Louisa. the dearly
loved wife of William Day, who fell asleep
in Jesus on February 81, 1905. aged 80.
Weep not for me, my friend so dsar;
l am not dead, but sleeping here.
In faith lie, my grave you see;
Prepare yourself to follow me-
Mr.. William Day told an Express" rep
resentative yesterday the history of the
stone and its strange inscription.
I'VE had not been married long before
my wife fell i'll of consumption" he said.
"She grew rapidly weaker and weaker.
and, not being able to move about, took up
the study of shorthand to pass away the
long days.
"She became so interested that she asked
me to learn shorthand, too, and so day
after day 1 sat at my wife's bedside while
she gave me lessons. She had the most
wonderful patience, and when too weak to
speak would point out my mistakes by
signs.
81 shall never forget those days." con-
when I gained a speed certificate. Shortly
afterwards she died.
II thought that the most fitting way 20
commemorate her was to have the inscrip-
ton on her tombstone written in the SYM
bols which she loved SO much"

Stowaways.
From the Boston Transcript.

rEou. Tue ooStou AEhusCTlpt
stowaways of particularly unornament-
al sort have been honoring the White Star
steamers with their patronage and the i'm
migration officers with an opportunity to
say things. As this Isn't Chicago, they
| won't be timed. though. from what hear,
they're entirely qualified to be- 1 mean
the stowaways; no offense to the officers.
In this case, it appears that some funk
eys on shipboard assisted the rascals and
barely failed to toss them ashore, but I
can't imagine that the captain knew OF
It, or there would have been some pretty
dramatic little doings. I was once on a
White Star liner half way between Algiers
| and Naples when our sister ship hove In
sight. eastward bound. At first she came
| at us head on. Then she hove to and
| swung round till she had US abeam. Sig
| nals-a whole polychromy of them-huttered
| in the wind. The most sensational news
spread through our ships company. Tho
Creltic was disabled, the Creltic had appall-
| ing news to impart. the Creltic was short or
provisions. the Creltic had mutiny on
board. Meanwhile a white boat swung out
at her davits and slowly descended; then
a second boat. They came dancing toward
us, and we saw they were commanded by
ships officers and rowed by seamen. AT
last, as they approached US, we perceived
that under the thwarts Of each boat crouch
ed a dozen dirty Neapolitans. Stowaways
all!
Our men dropped a rope ladder over the
rail- and, rigging a pulley at the end OF q
derrick, let down line with a moose In II.
One by one the Italians had the moose
slipped under their arms and were hauled
up the steamers side, with their hands
left free to cling to the rope ladder as q.
precaution against banging their heads IL
the ship lurched. Reaching the deck. they
fell on their knees. When their names
bad been taken they were hustled forward
under guard.
Father Dwyer, who visited them In their
pen and took them severely to task for
their attempt to steal q passage, toto me
afterward that they had been scared half
dead. When they were put into the boats
thew imagined they were to be buried at
sea. and when they saw the moose they
were sure they were going to be buried
at sea. At Naples the White Star people
handed them over,to the police.

Aigrettes in Fashionable London.

From the London News.
In view of Queen Alexandra's pronounce
ment against the so-called aigrette, 1t
seemed interesting to ascertain whether
aigrettes were ceasing to appear upon the
hats displayed in milliner's windows. Three
rounds of inspection were made, the first
along the north side Of Oxford street, the
second down the east side OF Bond street,
the third from the northeastern point OF
Langham place down Regent street to Pic
cadilly circus.
Two persons were engaged in the expedi-
ton, one of whom numbered all the hats
exhibited, the other all the aigrettes. Among
aigrettes were included birds of paradise
(about half dozen), some two or three
plumes believed to be, like the aigrette
nuptial adornments, and one consisting ap-
parently of the tail feathers of the Tyre
bird. No other feathers were reckoned In.
In spite Of the queens express disap-
prevail, there were counted in three London
thoroughfares alone no less than 32S
aigrettes, exposed for sale In hats and bon
nets, and this besides large numbers lying
not yet applied to hats, and numbers yet
larger paraded shamelessly on human
heads.
