The story of the gradual decay or "rne
Last Supper" began in the sixteenth
century. Armenini, who saw it htty
years after its completion, taking the
latter period as 1497-9S, speaks OF II
as already "half destroyed" 1t ap-
Dears that the wall on which the pic
ture had been painted was subject to
almost every possible deteriorating IN
auence. One Of the worst of these
was the vapor arising from the kitchen
Of the cloister. Besides, the refectory
was a damp place.
Then came injuries from the hand OF
man. In the seventeenth century ths
monks, who had found the entrance
TO their dining room not sufficiently
imposing, broke a wide door through
the wall. This was cut so high that
the feet of Christ and several of the
apostles were torn away.
In the eighteenth century a painter
named Michael Angelo BellOtti claimed
he possessed a secret means of restor-
ing "The Last Supper" to its earliest
freshness and grandeur. He fooled the
monks and painted the subject over
from top to bottom. Other Overpaint-
ings followed, some Of them even IN
water cOlOrs.
During the NapoleOnic wars, and IN
defiance of his express commands, the
refectory was used as a stable, hay
NOW and a prison. An inundation IN
1900 overfowed the room and turned
it into a kind of swamp. Only then
did the AIilanese awake to the con-
seriousness that they must do some
thing to preserve THE Last Supper
even in its comparative state OF rum
Everything possible was done during
the past century to stop its taking off,
and these efforts are being kept up.
The restoration or protection achieved
nv the painter Barezzi in 1856 won the
heartiest approval of the commission,
but while it lessened the ravages OF
destruction it did not check them.
Two years ago the restorer, Caven-
aghi. suggested that the loosening
color surface be fixed with a colorless
glue a work that would require in
finite care and patience. The prelimi-
nary experiments were successful, and
it is possible that if the idea were
adopted it might effectively preserve
, THE Last Supper" in at least its pres
ent condition for many years.-Phila-

Questions for Saloon Men.
Letter in The North AmerIean.

If the people of Pennsylvania will
notice the argument of the saloon
advocates, they will find that it is
inconsistent. Let us reason together.
and see if l am correct. If there
were two railroads running from
Philadelphia to California, and the
employees on both roads were OF the
same talent and conditions, except
that the employ es on one road were
sober, temperate men, and all the
men on the other road were drinking
men, and part of them got drunk
occasionally, which road would Mr..
Saloon Man prefer to ride on?
Ifthere were two new banks started
in a town and the men in both banks
were of the same talent and same
condition except that all the men in
one bank were sober and temperate,
while all the men in the other bank
were drinking men, and part OF them
got drunk occasionally, which bank
would Mr.. Saloon Man prefer to put
his money in?
If Mr.. Saloon Man wanted to hire
clerk, bookkeeper or a treasurer to
manage store of any kind, which
kind of a man would he prefer-a
sober, temperate man, or a man who
drank and got drunk occasionally Z
l will guarantee Mr.. Saloon Man
would risk the sober, temperate man
every time.
The saloon men help to make the
drinking men and drunkards, and
then they don't want the goods that
they helped to manufacture. They
don't think the people that deal IN
their kind of goods are as good peo-
ple to run a railroad car, a bank OF
store or a business of any kind as
the people that don't use any strong
drink. TILGHMAN HARVEY

Colonel Newman Davis of London.
II was dining once with a japanese
family in Tokyo" says the colonel
when a queer covered dish was
brought to the table The servant re-
moved the cover, disclosing a live fish
wriggling and Topping inside the dish.
"They then proceeded to kill it be-
fore my eyes and offered me a portion

lar taste, but not unpleasant.
Next to Japan, China offers the
greatest array of marvellous dishes. /
have eaten many disagreeable things
in China-merely for the experience, OF
course. Among these were sea slugs, a
sort of oyster and fattened puppy. The
most disagreeable, however, was bit
of cold pigs liver wrapped around a
prune. There was no escape for me
from eating this, though tried to
avoid it. My neighbOr at the table
picked up the liver and the prune with
his chopsticks and held them before my
lips. could do nothing but open my
mouth and allow the combination to be
inserted, because it is considered a sig
ual honor in the Celestial Kingdom to
have a fellow guest offer you dainty
morsel in the aforesaid manner.
"The fattened puppy tasted some
thing like a baked sucking pig. The
puppy is fed on rice and milk for sew
eral months before it is killed to be
eaten, and the flesh is tender and quite
palatable.
'In Africa-the Transvaal-I have
lived on trek cattle, hedgehogs and 9th.

81 have often eaten fried serpent In
Africa. This did not appeal to me
however. 1t tasted something like an
eel Of an inferior, oily sort.
"Roumania is the only country where

animal from which I had a steak was
much like the stringy flesh of an OK OF
questionable age. 1 believe the best
bear meat is that from small species
which inhabits Kashmir and which
feeds mostly on wild fruit.
Turkish restaurants were more ac
ceptable than a person would be led
to believe. One Of their most noted
dishes is a joint of lamb boiled t.

French Army an Unknown Quantity.

French Army an Unknown Quantity.
In that huge army, active and terri
torial, there may be a Napoleon or a
Won Moltke, but he is lost in the
obscurity of peace And, moreover
the enormous fighting machine which
France maintains at a cost Of nearly
s2OO.OOO.OOO a year has never been
tried. The day after the disastrous
treaty of Frankfort was signed France
set about arming the nation. She took
as a model the army of her cOnqueror.
Thousands of millions she dispensed to
create an army on Prussian lines.
Quite as much she has spent in later
years in changes and notifications
which have tended to eliminate all
that is Prussian. The French army
TODAY is an unknown quantity. The
one thing known definitely is that the
French are about the best material In
Europe out of which to forge fight
ing machine, and if the army goes
not to Austerlitz, but to Sedan, the
fault will lie not with the men Of the
sword. but with the general staff and
the tete d'armee-Success.
