An unrsasonabIs Friend.

Several young artists in Philadelphia
are telling a story on another wielder
Of the brush who is fellow member
in a little club. One of the rules of the
club is that each member must Feep
his finished paintings up to a certain
number. The artist on whom the story
is told is noted for his indolenCe. He
keeps up to the requirement regarding
the number, but never exceeds it. But
for his distaste for work the artist
probably would be very comfortably
fixed financially, as he mas consider
able talent. AS matter Of fact, he
is usually on the edge of penury. Sew
eral days ago. when his exchequer was
unusually low, a friend visited him in
his studio. The friend looked at sew

A Venetian Fashion.

Fashions were no less eccentric four
centuries ago than they are today.
Before the streets of Venice We're

says Mr.. William Boul'ing in Woman
In Italy," ''ladies went though the
mud and filth on pattens. The Gus
tom was retained, and in spite of
sumptuary laws the patten became
heightened until women of rank stood
on false feet half a yard high in the
sixteenth century, They were, unable
to walk without the support of one or
two gentlemen or servants

Ancient Rr;ann sunsrstition.

A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that a bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god. as 1t saved people from being
drowned while fording or swimming
across and robbed the deity of a GER
tain number of victims which were his
due. For many centuries in Rome
propitiatofy offerings of human vic
tins were made every year to the Tt
Der. Men and women were drowned
by being bound and flung from the
wooden Sublician bridge which. TIL
nearly the end of the republican pc
riod, was the one and only bridge
across the Tiber in Rome.

word concerning the life of Mrs. Perry ]. McHenry

that material things are transitory.. Tragedy?
Is death tragedy-or wholesale death more

Of the north and SHAKES the tree and a hundred
blossoms follow The one is not more tragic than
the other. You and know all have TO die one
by one. Why more tragic to die hundred by hum
dred than one by one? No. IL is not death that is
tragic-it is life. And we need the lesson which
nature is ever teaching us. For though the bios
SONS falls and the bud decays and the grass
withers and the mountains are rent and broken
and the great earthquakes shake the solid earth
and cyclones come out of the heavens and sweep
the solid structures from US, still we do not be-

though IL were eternal Death2 What is it? We
are in the assembled gathering and one character
comes upon the stage and speaks his part and goes

need to be reminded that all things earthly are
transitory, snd yet despite destruction, do not
learn the lesson" And now in the laying away
