LAME BACK.

This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and may
be cured by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm two or three times day
and rubbing the parts vigorously at
each application. If this does not af-

A R T N 0 T E S.

Five notable canvasses were added this
week by Senator Clark to his loan col
lection in the Corcoran Gallery. Two are
portrait, two landscapes and one a figure
painting. The last is a Madonna, and was
painted by Annibale Caracci, who lived be-
tween the years 1860 and 1909, and was
one OF the founders of the eclectic school
at Bologna. There were five of the
Caracci three of whom were leaders in the
school and Of these Annibale was the most
famous. One of his greatest paintings was
for many years in the Orleans Gallery
and at the sale of that collection brought
1850 guineas. the highest price paid for
any canvas there. The Eclectics tried to
revive art by turning aside from the
ways OF the Mannerists. whom they
thought had gotten away from nature, and
ondeavoring in their own works to combine
the virtues of Michael Angeles line
Titan's color Corregio's light and shade
and Raphael's grace and charm. Their
purpose was sincere and their aim COM
mendable, but in their effort to assimilate
all that was good in their great preGe-
cessors they forgot the need of asserting
their own individuality; hence while the
school in It's youth was strong and sound

We are now making millions out of what
once formed the waste of our cotton fields.
and We are like to make many millions
more. The latest discoveries there are as
to the fiber of the cotton plant. 1t has been
found that 1t will make the finest of book
paper, and the scientists predict that the
stalks will be gathered for this purpose,
and that a great industry will grow up in
so using them.
About generation ago the cotton seed
of the United States went to waste. Today
1t is ground up and the oil pressed out for
food and for use in manufactures of va
rfous kinds. Much of our so-called Italian
oil comes from cotton seed Our SardineS
are packed in it, and is is taking the places
of lard and butter in cooking. 1t is burned
for light by miners and also in catheirals
1t is used in baking, it makes excellent
soap. and it is manufactured into glycerne
and candles. The value of the cotton seed
is said to be about one-tifth of the total
value VI the cUClOn crop. Inc refuse from
the grinding and pressing is made into
cakes and sold to feed stock, while the
hulls are ground up for the same purpose.

Our Exuberant Verbosity.
nth American Review.

From the North American Review.
Our national institutions are so few and
our Elijah pograms have become so rare
since an inconsiderate Speaker effectually
discouraged oratorical exhibitions in the
House of Representatives that such q gush
Of pent-up emotion is more than welcome.
Back go our memories to the happy DAYS
when the great Gen. Choke was accus-
toned to speak to the visitor from be-
nighted monarchy such fervid words as
these:
You air now, sir, denizen of the most
powerful and highly civilized dominion
that has ever graced the world; do-min-
fon sir. where man is bound to man in one
vast bond of equal love and truth. Nav
you. sir, be worthy of your adopted coun-
try!"
Surely no true man could wish to expunge
these noble sentiments from the fair pages
of our glorious history or fail to rejoice In
their occasional recrudescence. As we have
already limited, what cheer could we bestow
upon our ancestral cousins If we should
perfect the unhappy resemblance now par-
TALLY existing? The oddly, also tradi-
tionally characteristic. lies in the ina bility
of our self-contained relatives to perceive
that one may derive genuine amusement
from the exuberance of ones own verbosity.
Unlike them. We have not yetS acquired
the remarkable capacity of always taking
ourselves seriously. :,

MAN IN THE MOON.
Versions of the Myth as Held by Peo-
pie of Different Lands.
From London Globe

From the London Globe.
OF all the myths which have sprung up
around the moon before Galileo's telescope
revealed another world with lofty noun
tains, deep valleys and vast plains, the old
est, and probably the most familiar to US
all, is that of it's human inhabitant. Every
nursery has heard the story of the man
who was found by Moses gathering sticks
on the Sabbath and condemned to dwell in
the moon till the end Of time
Originating, doubtless, in the superficial
resemblance of some of the moon spots to
a man with bundle of sticks on his back,
1t would be handed down by jealous Sab
batarians as an edifyng warning 1t has
even been referred to Biblical authority
German nurses commonly vary the tale by
saying that the offender was given the
choice of burning in the sun or freezing in
the moon, and that he preferred a lunar
frost to solar furnace But in the middle
ages, before Lutkerans and Puritans had
superimposed the conception of the Jewish
Sabbath upon the Christian Sunday, the
crime thus punished was theft.
1t is possible, however, that the Man in
the Moon" myth may claim an even re-
moter antiquity. Primitive man had a ten
dency to personify those natural forces
whose laws he could not comprehend, his
imagination endowed them with human
human knowledge and power. Hence the
moon acquired sex and a gender in San
scrit and all derivations, except Greek and
Latin, and such modern languages as have
come under the classical influence, 1t is
masculine. And doubtless, this is the rea-
son why the lengendary Woman in the
Noon is not nearly SO prevalent as the leg
endary Man"
Be this as it may, it is certain that in Teu-
tonic fable we find the moon inhabited by
both sexes. For according to Mr.. Barring
Gould, our familiar nursery rhyme about
Jack and jill is derived from the Scandina-
Wan myth of the two children, Hiuki and
Bill, who were taken up into the moon with
their pole and bucket as they were draw
ing water. They symbolic the waxing and
waning of the moon, while the water they
are carrying refers to the influence of the
moons phases upon the rainfall.
There Is an ancient belief found in some
of the writings of the old Egyptians that
the moon is an abode of departed spirits.
And some of the South American Indians
still regard it as their happy hunting
ground the paradise Of dead chiefs and
braves. But in the middle ages the moon
was generally looked upon as the seat of
hell, and it is probably this circumstance
that led to the familiar association of the
moon with witchcraft

spcndthrift on all sides. Whether he has
always been accustomed to it. or is like a
drunken beggar suddenly lifted to afflu-
ence. the pr1digal seems quickly to master
all the ntricacies of getting rid of money
faster than the most accomplished genius
could earn it.
Reason for Precaution.
When William Thaw, head of the Pitts
burg family. died, he carefully provided
that the millions made in steel should not
be at the control of Harry.
He had good reason for the precaution,
for Harry, born to luxury, had never known
the value of money.
Once while at college he wanted a pack
age of a certain kind of imported cigar
cites Being unable to get it, he took a
train for the east, engaged passage in New
York, and going to Europe. bought what
cigarettes he wanted, returning to college
on the next boat
OF a kindred nature was his celebrated
dinner to dozen of the famous beauties
of Paris where he himself was the only
man present. This little spread cost So, 600.
The tritling $500 a year, LETT him by his
father. fell so far short of meeting his eX-
orbitant expenses that Mrs. Thaw, with
the Indulgence of a fond parent for the
hayward son, allowed him $4,000 a year,
and this he ran through like water.
Thought it Inexhaustible.
Count Bonis prodigality went even
further than Thaws. The little French
m@n only got dover of three million dol
lars when he married Anna Gould, but he
accepted this paltry sum as the first of
limitless contributions that would come
just soon as he made known his wants
His idea of the Gould fortune was an end
less stream that could not be stopped, and
that was diverted his way.
The three millions did not go very far in
fact, Boni squandered eight million dollars
in four years.
As is usually characteristic of the spend
thrift, Boni was only generous with him
self He kept his wife on a more limited
scale than that of the average American
woman whose husbands income is less
than five thousand a year. From sixty to
eighty dollars month was all that Boni
allowed his countess.
This left him free to run through the pile
himself
1t cost him an effort to devise means.
Once when sorely pressed to find new
forms of extravaganza, he paid $G0tS,0 for
a few paintings worth about $50. This APP
pealed to him as such "a successful method
of reducing his income that he imme liate
bought pair of candlesticks for SIS 600
Not all of the eight million dollars through
which Boni went in four years came from
the Goulds. After Boni had spent three
million dollars. his wife's total dover. for
building the Little Trianon de Castellane,
George Gould did relax to the extent of
another million. The four million to be ac-
counted for is what Count Boni owes to
tradesmen.
How the Funds Went.
Some of his other extravagances include
100000 wasted in political career, $780,
600 for yacht, 100000 for clock, $11, 900

Tor the landscape painter-its wiley ways,
its surprises, its bewilderments and re-
wards. And this, perhaps, to show the
purpose of all art and the reason for Amer
lean arts present ascendency. For, after
relating how the art spirit had sojourned
first in Holland, then in England then in
france, and once more with the Dutch
people, he said that the reason it had mi
grated was because each in turn forgot
nature and became merely initiative. and
that the reason for belief in American
contemporaneous paintings was because
on this side of the sea, painters are still
seeking to discover. All eyes he declared,
are today turned toward American stu
dos Abroad 1t is declared that the best
works shown in the Paris salons are those
contributed by Americans. In fact Mr.
Brooke said that from what he had recent
ly seen and heard in northern cities he was
inclined to believe that American art is
threatened with vogue-an era of gen.
uine popularity. Then, he said, would come
its trial of strength So far the Americans
have not painted to please they have BEEN
and are sincere and independent painting
for arts sake and for the love of express
sion. Without particularizing Mr.. Brooke
told of the progress made in the last few
years and OF the extreme individuality de-
veloped. Naming the achievements of a
few well-known men, he said there was
reason for faith and hope in and for the
future. In regard to American schools he
spoke in highest commendation, and upon
his own class and other students he urged
responsibility and habit of thought.
The painting of china has been left so
long almost exclusively in the hands of
the unframed dabbler that it's art possibili-
ties have been almost forgotten, If not en-
tirely disavowed. II one would rediscover
them, however, it would be well to visit
a little exhibition which is now in progress
in Venables gallery. There are quite
number of decorated porcelains which come
well within the category of art. OF course,
there are some works included in the COL
lection which are commonplace, naturalistic
treatments of flowers which while well rem
dered are unattractive and inappropriate:
but to counterbalance these are many more
