One of the principal changes this year
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1910-08-12

has been the removal of the review work

q aprln,,ltiyop Painter.

Henri Rousseau, man who used to
hold a minor government position in.
France, was for quarter Of cen
fury the joke Of artists and art students
in Paris. For years in the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some of his famous" pictures
were "Lady on Sofa In Jungle"
.Tiger In a Jungle" "Nigger In
Jungle" He affected jungles, which
consisted Of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as If she had come out Of a Noah's
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort Of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. "I am a real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length Of buying his pictures.

5The As.enbiY of. Netahles.

The assembly Of the notables at Yer
sailles, Nov. 5, 1888, will ever stand
as one of the great landmarks in hui
man progress, not on account of itself,
but in consequence Of what it led to.
Louis XVI, being In great financial
STRAITS, had already called together the
big men Of his realm, but 1t Is with
this second meeting of the great ones
that history will ever be the most pro
foundly concerned. The "notables,"
made up Of the nobility and aristoe-
racy Of the realm, listened to their own
voices and displayed their gold lace
and vanity for something over a
month and adjourned without doing
anything either for the King or the peo-
pie. Disguised with the stupidity and
indifference Of the notables, Louis con-
voked the states general, which was
composed Of representatives Of the no
bility, clergy and third estate, or plain
people. Maddened by the contemptu-
GUS treatment they received at the
hands Of mobiles, the delegates Of the
third estate organized themselves Into
the nationll assembly, which in turn
organized the revolution.-New York

Holm e,r,eht and the Carpet.

A~characteristic story Of John Bright
Is told. by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor In her
book, 81 Myself" He was at dinner
one night with an NJ. P. whose wife
by no means shared her husbands
democratic sentiments. John Bright
was sitting near his hostess, and she
was rather annoyed at having him
among her smart guests and thought
to give him direct snub. so she said
during pause in the conversation:
"Mr. Bright, this rug, I understand.
was made by you, and l am very dis
satisfied with 1t. I have only had It
a short time, and it is very shabby and
badly made"
'1Is it?" said Mr.. Bright, getting up
deliberately from the table and taking
a silver candelabrum, which he put
down upon the floor, and, getting upon
his knees, closely examined the car
pet "You are quite right" he said,
bnthely getting up; '1t is bad car
pet, and Will order my firm to send
you another in Its place." And then
he calmly resumed his political con-
'yersadon, and the dinner went on.

The Curious Electric Eel.

The electric eel, which is common In
the streams Of Brazil, is possessed of
a natural electric battery--a tremen-
dous one. Beneath the skin are two
pairs Of peculiar little bodies passing
longitudinally along the muscles and
near the tail. One pair is next 20 the
back and the other near the lower fin.
These bodies are made up Of great
number of little cells, two or three hum
dred of them, and plentifully supplied
with nerves. Examination Of one of
these electrical organs has shown that
in action 1t Is very much like gal
yanic battery, with the anterior e3-
tremely positive, the posteeiorf mega
tive and the current only discharged
at the point OF contact with an object.
This has been proved to be SO power
full when complete that chemical COM
pounds are decomposed by it and steel
needles magnetized.
