WHAT THE TAILOR SAW
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
 HHoSE who have merely touched the
 fringe of artistic life know some
 thing of the impressiveness of the lingo of art, if not of art itself. At first there comes bewilderment, but slowly the language is absorbed, until with a little care there may be acquired a smattering of terms which will suffice to carry the amateur safely through the minor whirl- pools and eddies of artistic small talk. He begins with technique and perspective. and gradually works up to chiaroscuro, which is word that may be used very effectively, if slung in at the right mo-. ment, or if spoken with great assurance at times when you feel that your com panion is somewhat shalxy on It's meaning. Lacking these verbal acquisitions, a studied pose, with the palms of the hands laid together, lips half parted, and the eyes rolling gently, will answer almost as well. At such moments, silence is the best cue. Or, if called upon for an opinion, one can always reply: There are times-tmes like ths-when language fails. and one has really nothing to say!'
 After having mastered these essential details, the way is easy. Imagine, then, the shock that must ensue when the un- initiated, with neither language nor pose, venture to pass judgment upon art. It is with this feeling of outraged sensibilities that we take up the consideration of recent exhibition of rare paintings at Burlington House, London, and the crude thereon by a coarse, rude tailor, who ventured into the sacred halls Far from being overcome by the exhibit, this person waxed exceedingly voluble, as well as bitingly critical. With a degree of realism worthy of the eRaphaelites, in their most august moods he descended to particulars of an altogether common place character. He found lopsided coats,

 "I came away with the conviction tRA. there was much of the peacock in man. If he gets an office he dresses up like some gilded popinjay, struts about to shoy off his scarlet and gold, his purple and fine linen, and then rushes off to the painter, so as to hand himself down in oils to posterity, and convey to their minds what a wonderful fellow he was and what extraordinary garments he was privileged to wear

If this one represent tative of the sartorial art which is hard ly second to that of paints and oils. could work such havoc. what would the remaining eight do but bring about com- plete demolition?
 It is sad and unexpected blow-sad- dest because of it's truth The portraits or the ages, all the way from the tintype or the young man in his first dress suit to the king in his royal robes, confirm the verdict of the tailor, that poor humanity is given to posing in the picture. as we'll as before it, the attendants and the ex- hlbit representing for the most part the tribute that affectation pays to vanity. Now and then a portrait may be found in which the simplicity of adornment has heightened the genius of the painter. But the impression produced by gazing upon the average portrait of renowned contem- porary, or revered ancestor, usually fur nishes the most convincing argument that can be advanced in favor of the nude in art ?

In the unclassified list S62,000 stands to the credit of this state, valued at S64, 4,S10-thus bringing the total value of the years cut at S23,- 938,627. In the Alabama cut oak ranks next to yellow pine. All hard woods have, however, become valua- ble, and as the leading woods become scarcer the minor ones will gain in value. The south produced in 1901 over one-half of the softwood cut of the counfTy and 5 per cent of the hardapood supply of that year.

RuINING THE LECTURE MARKET

Washington Dispatch to the New Yorl,
 Herald.
 Mir. Charles Fl. Sherrll, minister to the Argentine Republic, who has been in the United States telling business organiza- tions about the opportunities to get wealthy from trade with Soutly America, received q call from a middle aged woman who approached him in western city with the statement:'
 ''i am going to assist you in your work |" "YesF said MT. Sherrill. ''I am going to take some of these lec- ] ture dates off your hands and give them myself. By the way. how much do you set night for them?" | MT. Sherrill related with a directness which carried conviction that he did not get red cent and paid his expenses be- sides.
 1 Well said the caller in great anger, as she 1ounced to the door, .I thought you were'a business man, but it seems that you are only doing a great injury to the lecture market in this section.'

ulus of high priced cotton. The area is about S per cent in excess of last year.
 "-snother influence that merits active appreciation is the continued abundance of money available for investment. The recent offerings by underwriters of new securities have been taken with spec taeular activity by investors; and with additional offerings to be made in the near future the efforts of large finan- cial interests will most naturally be enlisted on the favorable side of the market in order to facilitate the suc- cess of these approaching distributions During the month of May the issues of new securities reached $155, ,00O, or within $37 .00o.0OO of the large move nlent of a year ago. The activity and success in introducing American secur- itics on the Paris market are also a feature of strength. since each listing abroad represents virtually just SD many securities taken out of our own market"

American News in London Papers

"Those of us who visited Europe
 F or 20 years ago recall how little attention London papers and those on the continent paid to news from this part of the world,' said travelled man.
 "One might have expected to find adequate cable reports of important events in the United States, but it was a matter of common remark that only few lines appeared even when the news was of absorbing interest All the large American dailies gave almost as much space to European news as they did to domestic.
