OF a publication like the portfolio that lies be
fore US It gives the student practically exact
equivalents of masterpieces which contain a
peculiar inspiration. Artistic genius is never
more personal than in a drawing Take, for
example the famous "Abbondanza" by Botti-
ceIIi, III the British Museum, here reproduced
in color with such fidelity that to handle the
plate is like handling the original. In this eX-
quisite drawing you get not only the subtIest
sav0r OF the great F1Orentines art. but you get
the minutest quality Of his line of his tech
niQue. It IS a lesson in the treatment Of form
and Of drapery; il throws light especially on
the Renaissance rendering of movement. These
drawings are precious in their revelation Of
style Mr. Covin, in his note Of the BottIcelli,
is justly severe upon Herr Won Reckerath for
having attributed 1t to d pupil. The drawing Is
in nothing more eloquent than IL its disclosure

Old DRAUINGS.
The Third Portfolio Of the Fasari
SOcetu.

Attention was called in this place last week
10 the excellent work done by the Arundel Club,
in providing its subscribers with annual
sheaf of fine reproductions of Old paintings in
private collections not generally accessible to
the public. A similarly good service is rem
dered by the Fasari Society, which likewise
once year sends to its members a portfolio
of facsimiles of drawings by the old masters.
The third portfolio, just issued. contains thirty
five reproductions. three more than given
in its immediate predecessor. and. what is more.
some of these reproduced In color, which,
Of course, means greater expense. This testiies
to the thoroughness with which the Society is
carrying out its policy of improving its publi-

good to see that its work is being appreciated
and that it is fourishing. II may very probably
send out even richer portfolios in the future.

TYPHOID FEVER,

Typhoid fever has its harvest in
the summer and autumn, because
the infection. is taken into the
system through the mouth, food
or drinking water, as q rule. 1t is
called preventable disease. 1t is not
always possible TO trace case Of ty-
phoid fever to its origin with positive
accuracy. House flies may bring the
germ from an infected source, and the
disease may appear where the water
supply is pure, but the greater number
Of cases Of fever result from carelessly
swallowing the germs of typhoid fever
Guarding against infection is a reason
ably certain defense, and is not unrea-
sonably difficult Typhoid fever is not

Journal.
Typhoid fever every few years breaks
out in every town, but there is more of
it in the country, according to popula-
ton, than there is in town, and often
it is in the most sparsely settled neigh
borhood, The doctors all have their
theories as to the cause of typhoid A
young lawyer in Marietta told us the
other day that typhoid fever appeared
in his fathers family two years in sue
cession, and they came to the conclusion
that it was the place where they lived,
and they sold the place and moved to
another several miles away, and the
next year typhoid fever again visited
their family, The doctor was baffled
and told the family to burn up the bed
ding and all quilts used. They did, and
that ended the typhoid fever.

AUGUSTA FLOODED.

The most serious food in twenty
years swept over Augusta, Ga, last
Wednesday week, doing damage to the
amount of one million dollars. The
flood reached forty feet, submerging
stores, factories and other houses, caus.
ing great suffering among laboring peo-
pie, probably 5000 being thrown out Of
employment. Electric plant, railroad
traffic, and business generally, were
put out and suspended.
The sweeping away of the big canal
dam at Augusta, Ca, by the flood last
week, will throw 10000 hands out of
employment, the half dozen cotton
mills, Touring mills and other industrial
plants being dependent upon this dam
for power. These people are not only
thrown out of employment, but are
homeless, and it will be twelve months
before the dam can be rebuilt and the
mills put in operation. Winter is near
at hand, and these people have no
money with which to meet the demands
that will be made upon them.

KILLED THEM By ELECTRICITY.

There has been pest of cells along
the northern coast of California, and
the visitation was such a serious one
that it threatened to interfere with the
operation of the plant of the Snow
Mountain Power Company. The cells
piled up in the power house in such 3
manner that it was feared that the ma
chinery would be put out of commits
sion. There seemed to be no way Of
getting rid OF them until electricians
sunk large meshed piece of wire net
ting in the canal where the cells congre-
gated in the canal and when it was we'll
covered several thousand volts were
turned into it. The cells were then
gathered up and hauled away and buri-

been killed by this means already, ac-
cording to the account. The fish COM

in this method OF destroying cells, as
they are one OF the greatest destroyers

ification at the national election in No
vember. Others may be passed upon

and paragraph 2 OF the constitution by
adding the words ITO pay for county
police and to provide for necessary san

ply with the law.
