PRICE OF A PICTURE.
Terms Corot 10 Said TO Have Exaotod
From His Friend Perisr.

From His Friend Psrisr.
A French paper gives the following
anecdote Of Corot: M. Perier, brother
of the former French president, NJ.
Casimir Perier, was q close friend Of
the great Barbizon painter. One day
it was a Sunday-when he was visit
ing the artists studio he grew en-
thusiastic over figure painting that
Corot was at work on, for on Sun
days Corot devoted himself to figure
subjects.
THAT is my Distraction" he used to
| say.
M. Perier determined to acquire this
! picture and Corot was equally deter
mined not to let him, as his modesty
would only allow him to rank as a
landscape painter.
"All right" said Corot at last, you
may have the canvas, but on one con-
dition-you must pay in exchange for
it. the butchers and bakers bills Of
my friend M1llet." NJ. Perier agreed
to this unusual price and with the
painter went to find the two shop
keepers. The bakers bill came to
$4,000 and the other to $4,000, for the
bills had been running for twelve
years. So NJ. Perier's Corot cost him
$4,000.
What stroke Of business" COM
mented the artist. "My picture was
hardly worth $300r'
Good stories should not be dissected,
but analysis Of this one seems to show
that the Millet household spent at least
81 day at the bakers and over 81 q
day ut the butchers, which seems ex-
cessive at the French prices of those
days.-New York Sun.

fury has chapter Of recollections
dealing with life in Rome during tho
first years Of completely united Italy,
when Lady FACETS husband was Brit
ish ambassador to the Quirinal. Among
her stories are some Of Pope Plus *,
which show that pontin in a most ami
able light. Though the pope had twice
accommodated the king. they really
loved each other, says Lady Paget,
''for they were made Of the same kind
Of stuff. and both belonged emphatical-
~ to the days that are past and gone.
lmpulsive in action, primesautier and
generous in temperament, they allowed
themselves the luxury of sometimes
letting their feelings deviate from what
others might consider the stern path Of
duty" -: &N
When King Victor Emmanuel died

him dissolution for everything, though
he was under the major excommunica-

In the French chamber of deputies
each speaker has to mount a tribune
near the presidents chair. On a dep
uty coming forward to address the as
sembly an usher invariably brings a
glass Of some beverage and places it at
his side. Under the empire orators
were allowed only glass Of sweetened
water, and nowadays when new
speaker advances the usher, to be on
the right side, gives him glass Of
sweetened water, but among the vet
eran speakers water alone Is not very
high in favor. Cold soup, coffee, wine,
spirits and lemonade are among the
favorite beverages.

WARM SALT WAFER BATH.
Fiest Aid Fer Child That Has DsssB
Badly Burned.

Ftest Aid For Child That Has Dssa
Badly Burned.
All children viii play with IRE N,
less they have been taught, either By
precept or experience. not to do 90,
and accidents win happen even whsn
every precaution has been taken. It =
therefore most desirable In the case Of
burns that parents should know what
land above all what MOTTO do while
waiting for the doctor to come.
The frst thing is to fight shock with
all the resources at command, because
shock Is usually the immediate cause
Of death. Too often shock is aggravat-
ed rather than helped by the trea tment
it receives.
Valuable time is wasted and un-
necessary agony caused in trying to
remove the clothing; then various ap-
plications Of oil or Of whatever else
the distracted bystanders may have
heard was good for burns are made
until by the time the doctor arrives
irremediable mischief is done. ~.
Do not waste time in any such way,
but Immediately prepare a warm salt
water bath and gently place the child
in it, clothes and all. If the clothes
are much burned the warm water will
make them easier to remove, and the
child can be kept in the bath until the
pulse and the temperature show that q
reaction from the shock has taken
place. It will often be necessary for
some strong and careful person to
kneel and hold the patient in the best
position.
Even after the child has been placed
in bed with the proper dressings the
bath should be given again if there are
Indications that shock is returning.
Always remember that speed is essen
tal Even the slightest delay is dan
gerous.
Almost every one believes that in the
case Of burns water is always harm
full and oil always helpful. You will
be wise to reverse the rule and learn it
by heart In case of burns fill the
bath with warm water, adding salt in
the proportion Of teaspoonful to q
pint of water, and hold the child In 1t,
clothes and all, until the doctor ar
rives.-Youth's Companion.

Fleece UnWary Tourists.
Picturesque Port Said, at the en-
trance to the Suez canal, Is given an
unsavory reputation by l. Johnston
Abraham in his book, "The Surgeons
Log" Ugly stories are told about the
town, the writer says, and his descrip-
ton Of gambling house fitted on pur-
pose to fleece the unwary traveller
bears out his assertions:
Suddenly as we drew near one house
the strains of music came echoing into
the empty sandy street. AS if at sig
nal the decrepit chariot stood still, my
guide got down and suggested 1 should
go in. 1 thought rapidly and then fol-
lowed him. 1t was, queer, and want
ed to know. He led the way upstairs
into a large room, where several men
were playing roulette. None took any
notice of me, but apparently the bank
was having very bad time Of it.
Every one was winning. The music
from the automatic piano was deafen-
ing. looked on silently for some time
and then made a move for the door.
An oily looking Greek intercepted me.
won't you try your luck?" he said.
"pm not drunk enough" answered.
he shrugged his shoulders, and I
passed on. On the stairs I paused and
then stole quietly back. The music
had ceased, and all the confederates
who had been playing so feverishly and
winning so much had ceased also and
were preparing to resume the siesta
my advent had so fruitlessly inter-
rupted.

Blind Workers First.

It was the recruits first fire. A
piano factory was burning. Said the
battalion chief to the recruit:
"Find out where the tuning room is
and make for that"
The recruit obeyed. Afterward he
asked why.
Because during working hours you
are likely to find several blind men
there" said the chief. MANY piano
tuners are blind, and in case Of fire
they need first help in getting out.
When fighting fire in a piano factory
always bear that in mind."-New York

Perpetual motion machine? Suppose
that man could finally perfect a ma
chine that would run itself. It would
not deliver a trace Of power. The
entire force would be employed in the
running. It would have to be free
from friction, not nearly, but abso-
lutely. This man cannot accomplish.
But the machine would of necessity
have to start itself, an impossibility.

In every one Of these cases the bull,
far from being source of confusion,
adds immensely to the effect of the ar
gument. There are bulls, however.
even in Ireland, which are born Of
sheer muddleheadedness. Such was
the remark Of the Dublin university
freshman who was dared to "lepp" a
broad and muddy ditch in College

bal carelessness. It was something
more than this-it was inability to
think clearly-which made an old lady
say one Sunday when the porch was
inconveniently crowded after church.
IF everybody else would do as do
and stay quietly in their seats till ev'
cry one had gone out there would be
no crush at the door,"
In between these comes a class of
bull which is neither Illuminating nor
confusing, but which arises from
constitutional bluntness Of intellect.
To this class belongs the reply of a
servant to her mistress question, WHO

Information regarding some phases
Of school conditions in Boston. Mass.
and Trenton, N. j., have been the cause
OF some thought among school off,
cials and teachers here during the last
week.
A law has just been passed In the
first named city limiting the number
of pupils under one teacher In the pub
lie elementary schools to three.
AS this is to be based on the maxi
mum total enrolment the classes Will
in reality be smaller. This law Will
go into effect next September. The
classes will be reduced by one every
year until 1916-1017.
The high school classes by this same
ruling are limited to thirty-four in q
class. A similar method OF reduce
ton will be used until the classes are
down to thirty.
The discussion Of Trenton conditions
has been brought about by q ruling
that, "as O means OF promoting the
growth OF efficiency OF teachers In
| the service" has been enacted oy the
Trenton board Of education.
