main divisions: those which represent it's
tual Journey and those which show the Holy
Family resting, either by the way, or in the
land of Egypt. The paintings which deal with
the latter theme-commonly known as the Re-
pose-include some of the most beautiful works
of art especially during the last three centu-
rles Many details have been introduced from
the legends of the flight, in which the apocry-
pha History of the Nativity of Mary is par
ticularly rich. This is one of them: THE Holy
Family rested by the road beneath date palm
and Mary desired to eat Of the fruit; but II
hung high above her head. Joseph being
weary, was not able to climb the tree. But the
Child Jesus knew his mothers wish. and at mis-
command the tree bent down its branches.
Then he thrust his fingers into the sand, and
a spring of water gushed forth. The next morn
ing Jesus thanked the obedient tree and prom
ised that one OF its branches should be carried
by the angels and planted In Paradise.
The Triumph Of the lnnocents.
The landscape is half Swallowed by night,
but the moonbeams weave flmy radiance
over plain and the distant hills where the
watch fires are growing red. In front marcnes
Joseph with his basket of tools on his back
a sturdy son OF toll. The mother, noble
woman of Palestine, carries the child in her
arms happy and fearless But who are these
little children that run and float beside the
travellers? They are the spirits OF the muir
dered innocents of Bethlehem set free to fol
low the infant Saviour and knowing that
through him they have entered by the gate OF
death into eternal Joy. Three tiny ghosts In
the rear have not yet felt his presence nor
caught sight of him, and the pain and terror
of mortality are heavy upon them. But the
others are radiant and rejoicing as rsnsomed
souls; and at their feet rolls the river of life,
breaking into shimmering bubbles In which
the glories OF heaven reflected. Joseph
does not see the spirits. doubt whether even
Mary sees them clearly. But Jesus recognizes
his former playmates with Joy. He leans from
his mothers arms to greet them, holding out
handful of wheat, the symbol OF the bread OF
Heaven.
II is all mystical, visionary unrealf Or Is
Il a true picture to the eye OF what faith be-
holds in the religion OF Jesus? Surely II this
gospel has any meaning II is the bringing OF
light and blessing to the suffering little ones
of earth; deeper compassion and a tenderer
care for them, and the promises Of q heaven
full OF happy children.

make us feel the innocence and lovely grace of
Mary's life; If he has shown us the quiet work
with which she is busy; the sweet order of her
room which images the tranquility of her soul;
this also is well. But the great thing is that,
he should perceive and show, as simply as pos
sible, the charm of that perfect figure of maiden
hood, no rude peasant girl, but one with royal
blood in her veins and heavenly thoughts in
her heart.
The Nativity.
@ The pictures of the Nativity have great
er variety of incidents and of modes of presen-
tation. The simplest are those which show
Mary and Joseph in the stable with the child;
then come those in which the angels appear,
or the shepherds came to pay their alteration;
another conception represents the mother
alone with her babe adoring him or nursing
him. Pictures OF the presentation in the tenn
pie, and perhaps some of the Madonna and
Child belong to the general theme of the Ma
tivity because their central idea Is the advent
of Christ as a little babe.
Here the painters have found a wide
field for imagination, and have used large
liberty in expressing the feelings with which
different persons drew near to the holy child.
Mary is almost always shown as wondrously
happy; sometimes, as In Murillo's Alteration
of the Shepherds" lifting the cloth That COW
ers the child and displaying him with gentle
pride
8. With the Alteration OF the Magi, a new ele-
ment comes into the scene. These wise men
from the east, whether they were kings or
not were the representatives of the outside
world.
There are pictures which show the Magi on
their journey led by a star, sometimes
shining in the form of babe In the sky; and
others which show them at the court of
Herod asking their way; and others which
show them being warned by an angel in
dream not to go back to Jerusalem; and 9TH
ers which show them returning by sea to their
own country. But the great majority OF paint
ers have chosen the moment at which the
gifts OF gold and frankincense and myrrh were
presented to the child. Here there Is room for
splendid color and dramatic contrast.
T. The Flight into Egypt is the contrasting
companion piece to the Alteration of the Magi.
The one brings the great world into the dwell
ing of the Child Jesus; the other carries the
Child Jesus out into the great world.

In the world has been illustrated by so many
famous artists. 1t is easy to see some of the
reasons which have made it favorite subject.
First, there is the religious interest which
centers in the entrance of the Divine Saviour
into the world Such an event. for all who be-
heve in the Christian religion, must have
profound significance. 1t is the sunrise Of
faith, the beginning of a new spiritual world,
the laying Of the cornerstone of the kingdom
OF heaven on earth. Even If the artist himself
were not sure of this, did not altogether be-
lieve it, he would know that other people be-
lieved it; and by the imagination he could see
what a supreme Importance given by the
faith of Christendom to the brief and simple
story of the birth at Bethlehem.
Second, there is the human interest which
cllngs to the ever beautiful relation of mother
hood and childhood The tenderest and most
unsefsh love is that with which true moth
er looks upon her little child; the most perfect
innocence and trustful joy revealed in the
deep eyes of the baby who smiles into the face
of his mother bending over him. The paint
ings of the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary
have drawn into themselves the best thoughts
of men concerning the gracious secret of ma
ternity and the unstained bliss Of infancy.
Fantastic Legends.
Third there is the poetic and pictorial inter
est which grows out of the Incidents of the
story, the strange contrast between the heaven
ly significance of the birth of Christ and its
outward circumstances, the blending of light
and shade Joy and sorrow. hope and fear. an
gelic songs and earthly prosecutions. All these
varied elements. centering about a single figure,
afford field of illumination and illustration
such as art loves.
My first advice, then, to those who wish
thoroughly to appreciate and enjoy these pic
lures would be to read and re-read the gospel
of ST. Matthew from the eighteenth verse of
the first chapter to the end of the second chap
ter and the first two chapters of St. Lukes
gospel. Then It would be wise to read some
of the later legends which were woven in the
apocryphal books, and in the medieval poems
and narratives about the birth and childhood
of Christ Many OF these legends are curious
and fantastic, evidently allegorical and symbol
cal They have none OF the simple directness
and quiet restraint of the Biblical history.
They are In effect, clear illustrations OF that
native trait of the human mnd-familiar to
every one who has tried to tell a true story
20 a child-the craving for picturesque detail.
"How did It happen? Where did II happen?
Who was there? How did they look? What
did they do afterwards" These are the ques-
lions that children ask when they hear a story;
and these are the questions TO which men have
given fanciful answers in the apocryphal and
medieval legends, such as the protevangelium
of st. James, the gospel Of St Thomas, the
gospel of the pseudo Matthew. The history OF
the nativity Of Mary, the golden legend OF Jaco-

the painters and embodied in their pictures
suppose you have a picture of the Annuncia-
ton which represents Mary as passing through
a garden when the angel came to her; that is
In accordance with the Protevangelium which
says that Mary was chosen by lot from among
the virgins OF Nazareth to spin the royal
purple of the Temple veil; one day, as
she was returning from the fountain with her
pitcher OF water, the angel met her and said:
Hail. thou who art full of grace!" and when
she went back to her spinning he came again
to her to complete his message. II the picture
represents Mary in the house. working at the
veil, the artist has chosen to show us the Sec
ond appearance of the angel. The emblems
which the artists put into their pictures are
significant. The pot of lilies at Mary's side
the liy-branch in the angels hand symbolic
purity. The olive-bough borna by the dove
means peace.
Or here is a picture OF the nativity which
shows the Child and his mother and Joseph in
a cave. This is according to the account of
Justin Martyr land quite in harmony with
the customs of Palestine), that the stable of
the inn where Christ was born was a grotto
in the rocks. Here perhaps you see the OK
and the ass bowling their heads before the
child. This is told by the gospel of the pseudo
Matthew in fufllment of the prophecy of
Isaiah: THE OK knoweth his owner and the
ass his masters crib" Here, again. is a dag
zling supernatural light radiating from the
child. that shepherds who have just entered
must shade their eyes. This detail is given
in many legends.

and meekness of Mary; the Joy with which the
angel brought his message and the awe and
wonder with which she received the new con-

HUMANE SOCIETY NOTIFIED
Investigates and Reports Deplorablc
Conditions-Hebrew Makes Con-
flictlng Statements.

During the past week complaint has
been made to Captain Brewer of the
Howard avenue station regarding the
conditions existing In a house, or
rather an improvised barn. at the corr
ner of Truman and Barclay street.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
an old junk dealer by the name Of
Meyer Srebnick, was living In this
barn, with his FIVE children. In the
barn with them was a diseased horse
with lame leg, the horse also having
deep cut in its left side.
Upon investigation, both by the po-
lice and Connecticut Humane society,
the conditions although deplorable,
were not as serious as at first depleted.
II Il. Potter who, In the absence OF
S. A. Gardner, is acting agent, per-
| sonally investigated the place last
evening. In the barn, or rather hut,
for 1t Is a very crude affair, conditions
We're such as would indicate that peo-
pie had been living there for some
time past. A stove, bureau and a
table were noticed inside while in the
yard in the rear, three very old beds
and mattresses were thrown out. The
place did not have the semblance of a
floor, the earth acting in that ca
pacity.
Adjacent to the living room horse
stall had been constructed, In this
the horse was allowed to remain.
Upon inquiry by the police. the
Hebrew said that he had remained
there over night, so as to be able to
treat the wound in the horse. Feel
| ing lonesome he had constructed an
improvised bed to bring his children
with him for companionship.
TO Agent Potter he said that he
to poison his horse and II possible he
wished to prevent the deed.
Mr.. Potter warned the Hebrew
against using the horse. at which he
promised to call In veterinary doc
| tor.
Mr.. Potter stated last evening that
the horse was in very poor condition

also said that the Jew and his family

he came upon the scene last evening.
