BENJAMIN WEST.
How the Great Painter Brought About
a Revolution In Art.

a Revolution In Art.
Before the days of REYNOLDS.
Gainsborough and Constable Eng
fish artists did not expect any one
to pay such prices for their pictures
as for those Of foreigners or even to
buy anything but a portrait. ''What
could | do with it ?" an English con-
noisseur is said to have replied to a
gentleman who had asked him why
he did not purchase historical pie-
tuFe he greatly admired. '"You
surely would not have me hang up
modern English picture in my
house unless it was a portraitp'
The cause of this low estimate of
English art may be seen In the facts
mentioned by Mrs. Bell in her Life
and Works of Thomas Gainsbor-
ough." She says that the first at
tempt made in England to represent
a modern historical event exactly as
it occurred was made by Benjamin
West in his famous picture of the
death of Wolfe," exhibited in
1771.
Such was then the rage for
NEUROLOGICAL subjects that when it
was rumored that West was paint
ing picture in which the actors
were represented in modern cos
tune George Ill, the archbishop of
Canterbury and members of the
Royal academy declared that they
would have nothing to do with the
bold innovator.
Sir Joshua Reynolds and the
archbishop visited West in his stu
do to urge him to clothe English
and French soldiers in the costume
OF antiquity. West refused, saying
that the event to be commemorated
happened in the year 1853 in a
region unknown to the Greeks and
Romans and when no warriors who
wore classical costume existed. His
visitors went away, but returned
when the picture was finished.
Reynolds seated himself before
the picture, examined it for half an
hour and then, rising, said to the
archbishop: "West has conquered.
He has treated the subject as it
ought to be treated. | retract nv
objections. | foresee that this pic
ture will not only become popular,
but will occasion a revolution in
art"
The picture turned the tide
against the classicism which had
prevented the English artists from
producing original pictures.
Even portrait painters, except
Gainsborough alone, represented
their sitters as Psyches and Cupids,
Dlanas and Junos, the Graces and
the Fates. One artist painted the
portraits of lady and daughter as
Virtue and Beauty Sacrificing to
Diana"

THE TELEPHONE.
What II Means When the Operator An-

Wha1 ~ MEANS Wnen inc Op0rator All
nounces Line Busy.
1t is easier for an operator to estab-
fish al connection than reply, Line
busy" Recollection of this simple fact
may perhaps smooth out the asperities
of state Of mind evoked by hasty
conclusion that the operator simply is
sinking. Follow a call into the main
exchange, for example. You ask for
certain number. The operator Inn
mediately informs you the line is busy.
How does she know? Simply by a lit
tie admonitory click In the receiver
when she tries to plug In, on the
line asked for. She cannot tell you
who is talking on the line, how long 1t
has been in use or how long 1t is likely
to be busy. All the information she
possesses is click, but It Is sufficient
to advise her that some one OF the $50
other operators in the exchange had a
prior call from or to that number.
Had the line been clear the effort to
complete the connection would have
been no greater than that required to
get the click; hence the task OF inform
ing caller that the line is busy Is just
80 much extra labor-in fact, It In
wolves double burden, ais the sub
scriber will usually repeat the cali un-
til he Is able to transact his business.
Obviously. therefore, the desire Of the
operator is to establish the connection
when 1t Is first called for. She has no
motive in doing otherwise telephone
Talk.

Duekins the scoId in Old Times.

The last instance Of curing scolds BY
ducking them carried out in England
was in 1901 at Kingston Thames.
A contempo newspaper records
such an event in 1745: Last week a
woman that keeps the Queens Head
ale house at Kingston, in Surrey, was
ordered by the court to be ducked for
scolding and was accordingly placed
in the chair and ducked in the river
Thames under Kingston bridge IN the
presence Of 1000 or 5000 people,. In
Queen Elizabeth's time ducking was
the universal punishment for scoIds,
and it appears that each town had
then at least one of these penitential
chairs in ordinary use. DR.. Johnson
once said to Mrs. Knowles, Madam,
we have different modes Of restraining
evils-stocks for the men, ducking
stool for women and a pound for
beasts. Westminster Gazette.

A QUEER CUSTOM.
Curious Basket Ceremony Of Siamese
Ancestral Worship.


Ancestral Worship.
II the basket supper Of worthy ira
dition is a feature of New England
church sociability, the orient has a
fashion of its own connected with bas-
+ kets and religious ceremony. Mary
+ Cost, in her book on Siam, tells Of a
custom which forms mysterious part
of Siamese ancestral worship.
The ceremony is called krachat,
which means basket. When the time
! for observing it is at hand, the king
commands the princess to make large
baskets and to buy articles with which
{ to fill them. Around the palace booths
are built, covered with red and white
cloth, and here the baskets are display
ed The king himself goes out to IN
spect them.
The baskets are filed with all sorts
of things, from rice, sweetmeats, sugar,
cakes and onions to articles Of more
lasting nature. The baskets are woven
in all sorts of curious shapes. One
may be in the form Of a cart hauled by
two buffaloes covered with tobacco in
stead Of hair and with many useful
things in the cart Tree baskets have
all sorts of articles hanging to the
branches, such as saws, knives, hand
kerchiefs, and SO forth. Bushel bas-;
kets are pierced with doors, in and out
Of which run automatic dolls covered
with coins. Some Of the baskets are
immense, being sixteen feet long.
The show lasts a week, at the end Of
which the priests draw lots for the
spoil.
