usual interest and Importance
Mr.. Hassam is the leading exponent ,r

siohism.' He was a student in France
at the time the so-called ..frnpress1ontsts-
were making their first experiments, and
he not only learned their secret bu,
adopted their methods. These he brought
rack with HIM to the United States. and
the influence of his work upon that OF
contemporary landscape painters has no,
only been strong but good.
The theory of the French impressfonists
was that by placing small bits of pur,
colo: in juxtaposition they could reverse
the function of the spectrascope and re-
compose light. creating thereby the nee
cssary vibration of atmosphere The
thing which the impression;sts really &C
complished was the opening Of doors and
windows and the rescue of art from the
Teacle mire into which it had at that
time fallen. OF course, many absurdities
were committed in the name of impress
sionlsm, but on the whole the world owes
the imp gessiOnsts a debt it will probably
never fully pay.
1t has been said that the impressionists
were more truly scientists than artists.
tilat they concerned themselves much
more with method than with result. Ii
may be so. Reformers as a rule have
both limited and fixed point of view
But this Impeachment cannot be made
asainst Mr.. Hassam. Whatever may be
his method or style, he is first and fore
most an artist, one keenly sensitive to
beauty In line. mass and color. F'urther-
more, he binds himself to no single mode
ot expression. nor, indeed, to a single me-
dunn. Sometimes he paints with short
strokes of pure color. but at other times
he Obliterates all brush marks and pro-
cuces fine surface finish. He uses oils.

HE WAS EASILY SATISFIED
Negro Whose Lot Was Invaded by Cir GUS Only Wanted His Owner
 ship Admitted.

The circus had come to a certain southern town. Just before the pa- rade prosperous looking negro ap- preached the manager of the show, doffed his hat and said: 'Did you all showmen know you has youh show on my lot p
 The manager replied he knew nothing about the matter and or dered the negro out of the way. The claimant, however, stood his ground and finally proved to the manager that he did own the lot. Then the manager looked up the real estate agent who had rented the lot for cir GUS purposes. The real estate man came up. "What you want here ?" he asked of the owner.
 "Nuth'n', co'n'l, nuth'n', cap, I was jes' tellin' desc yere show folks they done got tn tent on my lot"
 Dld they tear your fence down "
 "No, sir, co'n'l, case dey ain no fences"
 Well, don't you know you can't keep people off your lot unless it is fenced? They can play ball on it, or dig bait on it, or have a show on 1t, or pasture their cows on it, sc long as it isn't fenced and no house is on it."
 ''Is dat SOP" inquired the owner anXiously. All right, co'n1, all right. wasn't wantin' nuth'n' cep' to have you all admit l owns that there lot."-SaturlSy Evening Post.

PAPER COMB IS NOVELTY.

The paper comb is novelty which has made its appearance. It IS made of smooth finished, hard cardboard. The teeth are coarse and far apart, but it is quite useful for combing the hair. The paper comb is one to be used once and then thrown away. It is designed for travellers and for use in public baths, and in various places where now might be found combs kept for common use; in such places these combs might be fur nished by the establishment free. It is not costly, the paper comb, put up in a waxed paper holder, being sold at retail at one cent.

ANCIENT GAME OF "B0Ev.S"
Thirteenth Century Sport That Prom. ises to Become Popular Again
 in England.

The ancient English game of "bowls' is being revived and prom lses to become as popular as golf or tennis, an exchange says. One de- cided advantage that the game has over many played is that both men and women can play with equal chances of success, and no one is too old for it. A very small section of grass-grown real estate sufices for the bowling green. The balls are little smaller than those used in a bowling alley. To begin the game one of the players rolls a small white ball, keeping it within the course marked by flag. When the white ball has been properly placed the bowlers begin. Each man has two balls, distinguished from the others by his initials, which are usually worked in the ball with inlaid ivory. ne oDJect or the bowler IS to get as near to the white ball as possible. At the end of the round the distance of each ball from the white ball de- termines the score of each player. The balls are weighted at one side to permit of curving whenbowling, and the skill of the player is exerted to so curve the ball that it will pass around another's ball in the direc- ton of the white ball. It is permis- sible to knock another players ball out of the way and replace tSis ball with the ball bowled.
 According to the players talked with, the origin of 'bowls" dates back as far as the thirteenth century.

AN EMERGENCY DOOR.

An emergency door for theaters has been invented by Chicago man which cannot be opened from the outside without the use of special key, and is, therefore, secure against the entrance of unauthorized per- sons, and yet the slightest pressure on any part of the inner surface of the door opens it at once. In its con- struction the door is built of two parts, each comprising a shell, and upon pressure from within the hall the one shell collapses into the other, and in doing so throws the bolts and catches out of operation and the door swings open.

ROCKING THE CRADLE.

Rocking the cradle is responsible for many of the aches and ills of the infantile population of Chicago, ac- cording to health department of. hcials, who have begun an attempt tc do away with it.
 The 60 field nurses employed by the department in the summer to "save the babies" have reported a great increase in the practice, in many cases self-rocking cradles be- ing used.
 "The best cradle in the world is not a good thing for baby to rest in," said pr. Caroline Hedger, in charge of the field nurses; "The place for a baby to rest is in cot or a bed. It should never be rocked. ! Ta2ere is no more reason for tossing baby about in order to rest than there is for swinging about grown -up."-Chicago Dispatch to New York World.
