MORGAN'S NEW VASE.
) >>4A~~~> . ~~>><
(New York Herald.) }

Word has been received from Lon
don that ]. Pierpont Morgan has
purchased from Messrs. Seligman &
Co., art dealers of New York and
Paris, the jasper dragon by Benven-
uto Cellini Q500-1572) bought by
that firm at the Baron de Rothschild
sale for 100000. There is much
speculation by connoisseurs in Lon
don and New York as to whether
Mr.. Morgan will bring this precious
vase to this country and permit 1t to
be exhibited in the Metropolitan
Museum of Art or whether, for the
present, it will remain in one of his
private collections.
The vase, which Is regarded as one
of the most beautiful specimens or
the work of the famous Florentine ar
tisan, who was both goldsmith and
sculptor. is cut from a single block
of light red veined jasper, with sep
arate stem and foot of the same ma
terial. It was obtained In Italy 4V
years ago by the late Baron Adolphe
de Rothschild, who believed 1t to nave
come originally from the treasure oil
the Kings of Naples.
The drageoir, Including the mount
and stem. measures 10 1-2 inches in
height, 9 s-4 inches in length ana
"a inches in breadth. The vase
has been cut into the shape of an
etongared scalloped shell, the stem
forming a circular pillar, decorated
! with owes and resting on hemispher-
ical foot, incised with wavy lines
| This foot Is set In circular gold bor-
der, decorated with inlaid scrolls in
red. white green and blue enamel
! and studded alternately with pearls
| and emeralds. At the top of the
stem four openwork gold scrolls set
with four rubies and decorated with
red. green and blue enamel. support
the upper portion of the vase.
From these scrolls start, right and
left. beautifully enameled and stud
ded with precious stones. At the
head of the vase a dragon, at the foot
n female torso, siren, are placed aS
caryatides.
The dragon has long, curved tail
which reaches down as far as the
stem. The head is blue, the body
gray and the tail white the whole
dotted all over with small gold spots
The outspread wings are covered will
black. white, red and green enamel
The body is studded with 12 table dia
lmonds, and is back with IL rubies

are ponierously slow in giving ear to
popular sentiment.
"The penalty is seen in a mounting
murder and crime rate on the crimi-
nal side; and on the civil side, in the
growing relctance of men of moder-
ate means to go into court. Sweep
ing reforms cannot long be delayed"
Possibly the legislature when 1t con-
siders the subject of judicial proce-
dure will be able to enact some chang
es that will mean swifter motion in
the courts of this state and also save
the people money now needlessly ex-
pended. The legislature should be
able to handle the subject. 1t is c om
posed mainly of lawyers and they
know the shortcomings of the law
But II the legislature fails to deal
with the question In an able way II
will be but a question of time until
the initiative will be used in an effort
to bring on judicial reform in Oregon

A man is young as long as he keeps
himself open to self improvement and
strives for advancement. A man who
has closed his mind to progress and
refuses to accept new ideas and new
facts and to make use of them is old.
There are young men at so. There
are old men of 80. This matter OF
self improvement is a thing of habit
rather than of age. There are men
who think they should not try to learn
anything after they have finished
school. They think they know 1t all
and close the book. They become
mental fossils before they have
reached middle age even though they
may be physically vigorous. There
are other men who keep their minds
and hearts open to betterment
throughout their whole lives and are
more efficient at 60 than some men
.at 80. You cannot tell an old man
ILcrcly by his years.
