WHISTLER AS A TEACHER.
A Genius Who Showed Difficulty In
ImpartinG His knowledge.

Genius Who Showed Difficulty In
Inaparting His knowledge.
Whistler was certainly a genius, but
he showed some difficulty in imparting
his knowledge. His criticisms were Of
ten foggy and Uncertain, and ne hard
" ever found words in which to ex-
press himself. It was almost an i'm
possibility to develop without beconl-
ing slave and copying him III every
way. With a majority Of the students
this was a dangerous method. II one
came with a spark Of originality it was
extinguished Immediately by the DOM
mating personality Of the master. he
could see art only from his own stand
point, and he insisted on all Of US using
the same palette and the same brushes
as himself and on our seeing all OBJ
iects with his eyes. The result to an
ordinary outsider was ridiculously mo-
notonous.
I we'll remember Frenchman who
wanted to join the class coming to
view some Of the studies and then re-
marking, with an amused smile, "Fous
avez beaucoup des petus Wheestlairs!
This was perfectly true Of the major
ity. but there were few matured men
who hardly carried out Whistler's
formulas as regards the palette and
method, but who, owing to their more
independent attitude, profted much by
the criticisms.

MODERN CIVILIZATION.
Its Comple1ity, hurry and "orrs
Shortening Our Lives.

Its Completely, hurry and worry
Shortening Our Lives.
Not long ago while travelling chanc-
ed to stop at village on the river
Rhine, where I found an astonishing
number CT old people. There were q
dozen over a hundred years Of age and
many from eighty years old up to the
century mark, yet straight and Vlgor-
Gus. One woman nearly hundred
years old was earning her living oy
picking hops. Her grandchildren were
middle aged. 1t was quite wonderful.
But there was no mystery about it. It
was merely the effect OF simple lire
spent largely in the fields, with plain
diet, consisting Of few vegetables
and fruits, little meat, and native beer
and wine for beverages.
Nothing can be more obvious than
that the very complexity of our mod
ern civilization is shortening our lives.
Rut Of all the evils that afiict US the
worst and most destructive are hurry
and worry Hurry drives the body ma
chine beyond it's capacity, while worry
racks it inwardly. OF the two worry
is probably the worse. This might IN
deed be called the age Of Worry: Be
cause Of the intense nervous strain 70
which we are subjected we do vastly
more worrying than cid our forbears'
The average man Of today IS continual
" surrounded and pursued by phantom
troubles, which, though few OF tneln
ever materialize into realities, naun,

mind and injuring his health.-Reaoer

CUTTLEFlSH FARMS.
Where the Queer Creatures Are Cut.
tSyated to Be MIXED.

Where the Qneer Creatures Are CuI-
tfvated to Be MIXED.
Does any one know that cuttlehsh
are cultivated on farms to be MIXED!
These cuttleish farms are located on
the coasts Of Great Britain, and the
cuttlefsh are kept in tanks or ponds
to be MIXED Of their ink. The pond or
tank is connected with the sea by
pine. and a thousand or more cuttles
are kept in single one.
They form most curious sight as
they move about, trailing their long
arms and staring out Of their bulging
eyes. They are guarded by screens
which prevent them from being scared,
for If they are suddenly frightened
they will squirt their milk into the
water, and it would therefore be lost.
This fluid or milk is very valuable
and cutie will yield about So worth
q year. It is secreted in bag Wnlch
can be opened and closed at will, the
cutie ejecting the duid to darken the
water so that 1t may escape unseen
when attacked.
The best cuttledsh are procured In
China, where for some reason or other
they produce the best quality Of milk.
When the farmer considers 1t oppor-
tune to milk the cuttles he proceeds by
opening the sluices Of the pond and
gently agitating the water. The cut
ties then swim around the pond, and
as soon as one passes through the
sluice is closed. The cutie passes
down a small channel into q basin or
metal receptacle, and as soon as it IS
securely there the water is drained on.
It IS then frightened and at once
squirts the fluid from the bag. When
It is exhausted 1t is lifted out, the milk
is collected and the basin prepared Tor

ANCIENT EMBALMiNG.
Not Only People but Animals were
Niummifc;s In Egypt.

Not Only People but Animals Were
NummiGc;, In Egypt.
N1yrrh, which was fabulousiy sup
posed to be the tears Of Myrrha, who
was turned into 4 shrub, was plant
Of handsome appearance, with spread
Ing, fernlike foliage and large umbels
Of white flowers. 1t was found prlncl-
pally in Arabia and -Abyssinia. In
early times the perfume distilled from
it was greatly in reQuisition for en-
balming.
Herodotus gives a detailed account
II the ancient mode Of embalming,
which is perhaps more Instructive than
pleasing. After the body had under
gone much preparation, which, to spare
your feelings, will not be described, it
was filled with powdered myrrh, cassia
and other perfumes. 1t was then steep
ed in natron, a strong solution of soda.
for seventy days After this it was
wrapped in bands Of fine perfumed
linen, smeared with aromatic gums.
Not only people were thus embalm-
ed, but the crocodiles Of Lake Moerls,
which, after their mummifcation, were
decorated with ornaments and jewels
and laid in one Of the subterranean
passages OF the great labyrinth With
much pomp and display. The sacred
cat ichneumon and other cherished an
imals devoutly worshiped by the EgEp-
tians were embalmed with scrupulous
and fanatical care. On days special to
the memory Of the dead the mummies
were newly sprinkled with perfume.
incense was offered before them and
their heads anointed with fresh oil-in
the same spirit as we lay new blooms
mon the graves Of our dead.

Getting Married.

don't know myself what getting
married feels like, but it cannot be
much more exciting than watching
other people getting married. Indeed,
I always get something like palpita-
ton Of the heart just before the priest
utters the final fateful words, Il de-
clare you man and wife" Half a sec
ond before you We're still free. Half a
second after you were bound for the
term Of your natural life. Half Sec
ond before you had only to dash the
book from the priests hands and put
your hands over his mouth, and, though
thus giddily swinging on to the brink
Of the precipice, you are saved Half
a second after
All the kings horses and all the king's
men
Cannot make you a bachelor again.

time and eternity.-FromL LIE Gallienne's

Voting In Paris.

"In Paris only one-ffth Of the voters
80 to the polls and cast their ballots"
said an Ameeican who has lived IN
Paris as a business man for several
years past. "This is not because they
cannot vote, but because they do not
care to. Everybody in the city IS in
terested in politics, but when the time
to vote comes few care to so to the
polls. The man who wins IS most
often the man who promises every
thing. For instance, in my district
last time a man was elected who
promised to put a new shed on the
market. I know Of another deputy
who was kept in Office fifteen years be-
cause he promised to add an extra sar-
dine to the daily rations Of the SOL
diers. There are SO many soldiers that
that made a big difference. They did
not get the sardine, but he continued
to promise and kept Office. Washing

The Name "EIfe."

The origin Of the name Fife Is not
known. One historian tries to show
that 4 comes from the Celtic word
veach, a Pict, and means that the dis
trict was inhabited by Picts, but that
is obviously absurd, as Fife was not
specially the home Of any Of the Pict-
ish nations. The tradition that finds
greatest favor is related by a monk,
who states that the first known pos

STRIKE IN TWIN BUTTES.
Three Hundred Foot Level Encounters
20 Per Cent Ore.

Late Wednesday afternoon rather
inconsistent reports reached this city
of a marvelously rich strike Of cop
per ore that had been made at Twin
Buttes, but at that time they could
not be verified, says the Tucson Citi-
zen.
Thursday, however, il was learned
that, although nothing marvellous had
been found, some rich ore averaging
2S per cent in copper was I'M
covered on the 300 foot level of the
Morgan shaft. A specimen of this ore
was brought TO town and placed on
exhibition in the window at Brannen
& Hanny's.
This is the first ore struck on the
300 foot level and that it should av-
erage as high as 90 per cent is very
good indication of the quality that
will be found there.
Superintendent McDermott stated
that al present ii was impossible to
state how much of the ore there was
and for that reason he didn't sanction
the report OF such a wonderful strike
as was current.
If there is any quantity OF the ore
II will be a great thing not only for
the Morgan, but for every other prop
erty in the Twin Buttes district. Tn
til the main body is reached Mr. Nc
Dermott does not care to do much
talking.
