The Ma. In the Speech.

1t is all very well for political
speakers to make classical illusions
in their speeches, but the thing may
be carried too far.
Somebody was making a speech
once-no matter when-and was
embellishing his stirring periods
with plentiful evidence of his
knowledge of Shakespeare. More
and more excited he grew; more
and more gems from the bard of
Avon's works poured from his heat
ed lips. And as he progressed in his
Grafton an individual sitting on the
first bench just below the platform
grew more and more puzzled.
At last this individual could stand
it no longer. He leaned toward the
nan next him.
Say" he whispered hoarsely, 81
can't figure it out"
What? ?"
"Is he a Republican or a Demo-
crat ?"
"Who ?"
"The man this speech is about"
What man do you mean?"
Hamlet"

The Heavier Load.

Here is an example that will puz-
zle the smsrtest: James is wheeling
a barrel of -four, while Charles is
wheeling four barrels. Which has
the heavier load?
This is no problem at all, you say.
OF course Charles has the heavier
load. But, no, YOU are wrong. The
explanation is that Charles barrels
are empty. The example said that
James was wheeling a barrel of -four
Snd Charles four barrels. But
Charles barrels were not barrels Of
-four, only -four barrels. Things are
not always what they seem, espe-
cially in twentieth century aritbme-
tic.-Pathfnder.

Something Definite,

sistent fretting finally won for her
a vigorous spanking.
After the punishment there was
quiet. A caller came and heard the
tale.
"You see," said Mrs. Spring, "shc
kept saying that it hurt her. but
she wouldn't say where. SO there
seemed no other way to stop her
bawling than to spank her"

Story Of Durham.

Durham, South Africa, figures in
early gazetteers as D'Urban, a form
of spelling which links it visiblv
with the British commander who
took Port Natal from the Dutch and
gave it his own name. Sir Benia-
min Durham, born in 1777. had
practically completed his brilliant
military career before he became
governor of the Cape, and his con-
version of Natal from a Boer to a
British colony was his last great
accomplishment. In 1912, when
the thing happened, there was but a
handful of farmers at the port. Now
the population is over 10000, and
the harbor, which was then a place
to keep clear of, is safe enough for
even a British warship. - London

PARRHASlUS.
The Famous Greek Painter Who .pss
oeived q Rival Artists Eye.

Among the famous painters Of
ancient Greece was P~arrhasius, and
the following interesting story is
frequently related about the talent
of this great artist. About the year
455 B. c. an improved style of
painting was introduced in Athens
by Zeuxis. The aim of this new
style was illusion Of the senses.
Zeuxis soon acquired great wealth
by his paintings and was very osten-
tatious in the display of it. The
same vanity is shown by the fact
that after he had reached the sum-
NIT of his fame he no longer sold,
but gave away his pictures as being
above all price.
He was a great master of color,
and in this lay the secret of his sue
cess and of that of his school, for
1t rendered his paintings so accurate
and lifelike that they never failed
to create an illusion. This is ex-
empliied in the story told of him
and Parrhasius.
As a trial these artists were en-
gagged to paint each a picture. That
of Zeuxis represented a bunch of
grapes, and so naturally was it
painted that the birds came and
pecked at it. After this proof
Zeuxis, confident of success, called
upon his rival to draw aside the
curtain that concealed his picture.
"The curtain is the picture" re-
piled Parrhasius, and Zeuxis was
obliged to acknowledge himself van
pushed, for, though he had deceiv-
ed the birds, Parrhasius had deceiv-
ed him.
The paintings of Zeuxis displayed
great dramatic power. He worked
very slowly and carefully, and he is
said to have replied to somebody
who blamed him for his slowness,
at is true | take a long time to
paint, but then | paint works to
last a long time"
His masterpiece was a picture Of
Helen of Troy, in the painting of
which he had as his models five of
the most beautiful maidens of Gro
iona, for which city the picture was
painted. Zeuxis died in the early
part of the third century B. c., and
it is said he died from laughter at
a bag he had painted.
Parrhasius spent most of his time
at Athens. He attained to so high
a degree Of excellence and was held
in such honor that he became AFRO
CANT, calling himself the descendant
of Apollo and the prince of painters
and claimed hat he had assigned to
art precise limits which could never
be transgressed. Quintilian saws
that Parrhasius was so exact in his
drawings that he was called the leg
islator of painting and that other
painters followed, as a matter of
obligation, his models Of gods and
heroes
