The Picture In Disguise.

OF the strange vicissitudes through
which many of the worlds famous pic
lures have passed perhaps none was
odder than that of "The Picture In
Disguise" a magnificent painting that
now adorns the residence of Lord
Leigh in Warwickshire, England. This
remarkable picture for many years ap-
peared to be merely a painting of flow
ers. The horal study was, however,
finally pronounced by an astute art
dealer to be in reality a mask for an
other painting. With the permission
of the owner he caused the painting of
flowers gradually to be removed,
whereupon there was discovered un-
derneath very fine portrait of
Charles l. by Van Dyck. While no au-
thentic record of this masterpiece has
been found, it is supposed that the
portrait was disguised by some royal
list in order to guard against its de-
struction by Roundheads during the
revolution.-Boston Post

Soeinu and Thinkind.

Most people see an object when they
think of it. They can see before their
eyes a geometrical drawing or the fig
ures on a chessboard when they think
of them. In order to think at all most
men make use of images, though they
may be of different kinds. Thus one
man when he thinks of Italy" sees
just the printed word; another sees the
country's outline on a map; another
may see the country spread out before
him, with its villages and towns.
Psychologists are beginning to classify
the different aids or images of which
men make use. Some, for example,
hear the words of their thought within
themselves; others read them, as If
the words We're written generally in
black on white ground.--N-.7~~,

He Got the Ticket.

"Seamen's return" tickets are issued
by most British railways at seaport
towns to sailors at reduced rates. A
rather well groomed young man de-
manded one to Birmingham; the book
ing clerk at Hull demurred.
'Seamen's returns are only issued
to sailors" he snapped.
"Well, I'm a sailor" was the reply.
II have only your word for that"
said the clerk. "How am to know It
is correct?"
How are you to know" came the
answer. why, you leather necked,
swivel eyed son of a sea cook, If you
feel my starboard boom running foul
Of your headlights you'll know I've
been doing more than sit on n stool
bleating all my life, and you'll haul in

The Moor and His Hnrse.

The horsemastership Of the NGoors is
primitive and entirely successful. \
Moor never walks when he can ride
and never by any chance gets off to
ease his beast. How a Moorish pony
would have chuckled at the weary
walks enforced on tired men by well
meaning cavalry colonels in South At
rica! He would have said to himself:
Il don't think much of animals that
can't carry fifteen stone fifteen hours
day. 1 must be a really superior kind
of beast" The Moorish (and Gouuier)
horse always spends his nights IN the
open. He is never groomed or clip
ped. His youth is passed wandering
INTENDED over the vast fields. When
in work he gets all the barley he
wants at night and a drink before his
feed in the evening. From a. m. to I
p. m. he expects to work and to work
hard without bite or sup. His saddle
is a wooden tree superimposed on at
least half dozen folded blankets, the
thickness Of which often reaches six
inches, and he never gets a sore back.

swung out into the river, made a giant
circle above the big cruiser New York
lying at the naval anchorage, and then
proceeded across to the New Y York side,
only to finally land in the river half a

having hit a tree in Riverside park.
During his progress Goodsle dropped
message of greeting on the deck Of
the warship.
TOWED ASHORE BY ROWBOAT.
He then continued and circled the
dome Of the tomb twice and started
hack for Jersey A stray gust Of wind
drove him against tree, bending a
propeller blade, but score Of men
grasped the anchor ropes and drew the
machine down. Quick repairs were
made and then he started anew in the
fog to cross the river. Another vagr-
ant breeze hit his ship and his engine
foUIed just as he got over the water
again. But he kept at his work and
finally landed his frail craft in the
Hudson alongside OF Il rowboat which
picked him up and towed the machine
to shore. 1t was the most successful
flight ever attempted here, notwith-
standing the rain aud fog adding to
the difficulties Goodale encountered.
