For another example of originality l refer to the tomb of Canova In Venice. He design l ed 1t for another man but his pupils and friends put it over his own dear , body. The mausoleum part Is pyr- amid about fifteen feet high but before the apparently open door of the tomb are the figures of some painters in grief over their departed friend and master. But the most striking are the figures of a great hfe-size lion aud a tender woman standing before the tomb, carved from one piece of stone, and bota are weeping. Here again is original mastery. A weeping wom- an, representing religion, and a lion with his paw on palette and paint CTS brush and he too weeping-seem- ingly a strange combination but one whose beauty entrances the visitor. Think of the mastery of the mind and chisel which can make side by side the repose of power in a weeping lion and the delicate. tear-stained face of a woman in the deep agony of discon- solation.
 Now turn for another comment on two great English speaking masters who did So much lasting work in the Venice of Italian thought and origin ality. Here 1t was that Browning did his best work in literature. The won der is small when pass each day in d boat the house where this author lived so many years, and died at last in the prime of his strength as an author.

link between the two parts of the city, the old and the new The ancient square, around which all the business of the past centuries was done, is still here. The expression meet me on the Rialto" means to meet on the square and not on the bridge. as some have interpreted. In reading Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice" one would sup pose that the Jews lived on the Rialto side. but they did not It was law in those days that no Jews lived on the Rialto side, they only had their places of> business here. and their homes were on the opposite side of the canal in their quarter called the Ghetto. The term Ghetto" meant a quarter for the Jews in all Roman cities and they were not permitted to live elsewhere. It was on the Rialto side that Shylock had his office to which Antonio came to make the bar gain of a pound of flesh for loan of money from the Jewish trader. Tradition yet locates the place where the original house stood. As all read Nio u1 lllC SOAhS0s OA N4A1hCSPtntC recall. the matter at fast came inSo court because Antonia was not able to repay the loan and Shylock attempt ed by process of law to collect the pound of flesh. In this part noble and able Portia appears on the scene and pleads the case of Antonia before the court which held its session in the Doges' palace-tne first instance of a woman lawyer The original court room of the then ruling Doge is yet ir the palace and here it was that Portia plead the case which Shakespeare embodies in the finest specimen English comedy. The room is made like the supreme court room in Washington; the judges heard the evidence and voted on the case-they were both judge and jury.
 Hail to Venice and it's poetic and artistic history! Indeed a fair city and one whose memory fingers with the tourist; the bright green of the Adriatic dressed in water colors and living light.

GovERNMENT TO UTILIZE THE
 SLOT DEVICE.
Postmaster General Meyer Planning to Do Away with the Stamp Win dow In Postoffiees and Let
 Machines vend Stamps.

Now that we come to think of 1t, we wonder why Uncle Sam has been so slow in adapting the slot uSchine to the needs of the postosice department in the vending of postage stamps, pos tai cards, stamped envelopes, etc. At every postoffice in every city of any size in the country there must be an extra clerk to attend to the business of the stamp window, and at one fell swoop Postmaster General Meyer pro poses to cut on this item of expense, which in the aggregate is consider able, and to introduce the now almost ubiquitous slot machine. These ma chimes have long since been adapted to multitude of mercantile uses, and from one end O. the land to the other, in depots, hotels, theaters, restau rants, and hundreds of other public places these compact little iron mer. chantmen are to be found dispensing their wares.
 And of all the many radical inno vations which Postmaster General Meyer is planning to introduce for the betterment of the nations postal service there is none of these new departures which is more interesting than the proposal to install stamp vending machines in all parts Of the country.
 These mechanical salesmen will be placed in postofices and places of business all over the United States, and are counted upon to save, time and trouble for the average citizen.
 While the postoffice department has decided to introduce this latest of pos tai novelties, the details of the scheme have not as yet been perfected, and no decision has been reached as to just which styles of slot machines will be adopted.
 For the purpose of testing the many different designs that have been sub mitted, the postmaster general has ap- pointed committee of experts to try out all the inventions, and these off, cials, three in number, are now busy experimenting with the various ma chimes to determine their technical qualifications.

 fhere is enough in this beautiful City for several articles but will only venture one more. First I shall speak of the art and it's. differences from other places in Italy.
 Venice produced some strong men and they in turn produced strong fea- lures in their lives. Titan gave to modern art the most brilliant coloring or all painters. He learned this in Venice which is in the sea, for here he lived, but he painted most of his pie lures in Florence. John Belini trans formed the old art into modern. The first paintings in Italy were on wood and slate. but Belini first successfully painted pictures on canvass; and he 1t was who was Titian's teacher. Thus Titan took modern art with its very graceful curves, so different from the straight lines in the old Byzantine paintings. and put on'his pictures the most wonderful colors in the world. Venice. in the water and under Italian skies. was the place to originate these colors. Other painters, then as now. bought their paints from the stores, but Titan made his own in his orig inal way. .
 Then the sculpture and carving; at feet high were carved, three hundred years ago, one hundred figures and each one different from the other, and yet their is such combination as to inake artistic beauty. On a wall there may be carved five hundred fig ures and all different, but yet there is seen the beauty of design and all agree in the combined beauty. This shows originality such as We do not see in any other art center in the world.
 The houses show the same strong feature of originality. There may be six large stone pillars on the front porch of a house, all the same height and size, but the design of each is diff ferent from the others and the artis- tic beauty is preserved so as to charm the eye. No two houses are design ed exactly alike, yet all of them are pretty and the whole city is 6 dream in appearance; I mean of course a pleasant dream. In the Doges palace, where millions of dollars were spent in making beauty and stability there is no uniform method followed. Each design is changed entirely, as if there were that many artists, but all the work was done by few men. Sculp- ture has the same appearance in the work of Canova, the great sculptor who came to Venice as little boy and rose to fame here and in Rome. He seuiptured two huge lions in marble the same size, but one is angry and ready to leap, while the other is fin restful, sleeping repose. It would be comparatively easy to make two lions the same size and just alike in their appearance, but it took an original master like -Canova to make them as he only could do, one in the excite

is merely following the example of sev- eral European nations, and it would have been an easy matter for the off, cials at Washington to have merely adopted the style of machines which have been in successful operation abroad for some time past.
 Indeed, they were urgently impor. tuned to do so, and specimens of the best foreign machines have been sent to Washington as object lessons. However, the officials, relying upon proverbial Yankee inventive genius, felt confident that American brains could produce something superior to the i'm ported product, and consequently in- vited inventors all over the country to submit designs.
 One of the most ingenious machines offered is the invention of a Minneapo- lis man, and Is arranged to permit the sale not only of single stamps of differ ent denominations, but also of strips of five two-cent or five one-cent stamps, these latter being delivered at one OpGTdJlOu Ok luo LndCuLu6p "n6u a dime or a nickel is used in making the purchase.
 In a recent statement with reference to the aims in connection with stamp vending machines, Postmaster General Meyer said: The postofice depart ment is undertaking to demonstrate, by careful experiments, the desirabili ty of adopting automatic stamp-vend. ing machines adapted to receive our one-cent and fve-cent pieces for the sale of stamps and postal cards. This method of selling stamps is in use in other countries, and the proposition to consider it's adoption in the United States has excited no little interest.
 "The use of slot machines has be- come so universal and popular in other fields that there seeas every reason why they should be adapted to tho sale of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards. provided machines can be built which will dispense these things and at the same time safe.
