NICHOLAS HILllARD.

This is the treatise on miniature
nainting written by Nicholas billiard
the first English master Of the ART
which has long been treasured IN the
library at Edinburgh University. He
wrote at the request Of Richard Hay
docke, the physician who In lo9s pup

"Traddado." Haydocke, who thought
his friend worthy Of comparison WIN
panbael was convinced also that ne
could use a learned penceil' anu
billiard was nothing loath. Forthwith
he nut together few pages OF curious
information and still more curious dic-
ton. incidentally scattering here anu
thoro some amusing recollections. HIS
point Of view IS charming. Among the
ancient Romans, he AYERS, 1t was de-
creed that the art of painting should os

blandly conjectures that this must
have been because no man could make
a living at so leisurely task. And Tor

As this passage might suggest, the
treatise does not make the easiest read
ing in the world, and 1t must be con-
fessed that the modern miniaturist can
get along very we'll without the coun-
sci Of his Elizabethan predecessor.
Nevertheless the numbering sentences
are worth following, for they revive the
atmosphere of the past, helping us TO
realize the spirit and methods OF an
old master. Mr.. Philip Norman's long
Introductory note does much to clarity
the quaint manuscript, and the latter is
illustrated with some striking repro
auctions from portraits by Hilliard.
Text and picture admirably exemplify
the sort of thing which the Walpole So
ciety can do to illuminate forgotten
byways in the history of British art.

A DISTINCTION.

IL gaye his work dignity and charaC-
ter. Did II also make his work beauti-
full? The question cannot be answered
without the exposition OF certain dis
tinctions. There is sculptural beauty
Of high order in the General Wash
ington." The statue is beautiful in
composition, the effects of line and
mass ere beautifully interviewer and In
his treatment OF surface Ward shows
here also his sensitiyeness as mod
eller. But that constituencies is decld-
eddy not so apparent in all of his works
and one result OF this is that while his
monuments are impressive they lack
the last compelling beauty which spells
genius. one may find a clue to the
cause of his failure to scale the top
most heights in a brief passage which
Mrs. Adams gives to the sculptor's
broad attitude toward his material. She
says:
lie was attracted by the valor and the
vigor and the forthrightnesS OF the
many-sided art Of the Italian Renais-
scarcely shares Leonardo'S passion for
the strangenesses that are 10 be found
I'm things. His excursions and discoV-
cries and inventions are all in the broad
field OF normal wholesome life. II his
point OF view misses something OF the
unusual the novel, II is because he is
frankly out OF sympathy with the alb
normal, the eccentric. Had he been
painter instead OF sculptor, his broad
artistic sympathy would probably have
admitted the extreme charm Of Leon
ardo's masterpiece, and his own charac-
teristic gifts of expression would have
been Ill adapted to four years study
OF La GioCondaS smile.
Our clew is there, though not, per-
haps, through any willing intervention
on the part of Mrs. Adams. We won
der, rather, II she has not uncon-
sciously sought In this instance to
make the best of a somewhat enbar-
RAISING point. At all events, ii is plain
that when Ward remained untouched
by the subtleties Of the Italian Renaig-
sance it was not from his preoccupa-
ton with normal, wholesome lifc,"
but because the feeling of grace and
charm, for the beauty that is reconcile
and imralpable, was left out of his ar
tistic composition. 1t is more than true
that his characteristic gifts OF express
sion would have been i'll adapted to a
four years study Of La Gioconda's
smile" II Is doubtful If the study of
lifetime would have brought him into
complete SYM athy with that smile. He
would have admitted" it's charm, as
Mrs. Adams says, but the word we
quote is in itself an admission. Ward
would never have feH the Italians
magic. The distinction follows us as
we traverse his long and fruitful ca
reer II was marked by noble achieve
ment3 which will long be holorcd, but
it did not en- brace any of those emo
tiona, and imaginative exploits which
stir the spirit, or any of those technical
developments which indicate a pursuit
of beauty for it's own sake. TO recog
nize these facts is not to lessen appre-
citation of his art, but only to clarity il

Columbia.-Pointing out that the

the chairman Of the state executive
committee issued a call to the Demo
Gratis Of the state, asking that they
contribute to the fund to investigate
the charges Of fraud in connection
with the recent primary.
The following is the call:
"The Democratic party In this state

time In our history white men are
charged with cheating and defraud-
ing white men in our primary elec-
ton. The elections In every county

complete investigation Of these
charges In 30 far as in its power lies.

you hear of such tell It and the COM

FARMERS MEETING
HAS ClOSED-HAS PROVED VERY
INTERESTING AND VERY
VALUABLE.
EARNESTNESS BIG FEATURE
Tho Demonstration Agents of South
Carolina Show Themselves Greatly
DESTROYS Of Attaining Knowledge
Many Noted Speakers Present

Clemson College,-The farm de-
monstration agents of South Carolina
concluded a very successful meeting
which began September 3. The chief
feature Of the meeting was the earn
estness with which the 40 or so men
present devoted themselves to better
preparation for the greet work they
are doing in the state. The sessions
were under the supervision AMI d.
rection of Frof. w. L. English whose
enthusiasm and tact kept everything
going smoothly. President w. NJ.
Riggs gave the demonstration workers
q cordial welcome in an impromptu
talk.
The opening address was made by
Bradford Knapp, who stressed the
Importance of humus in the soil and
the growing of winter legumes. Part
of Mr.. Knapp's address was devoted
to the explanation Of the scope and
the helpfulness OF the work being done
In the way Of demonstration and in
giving encouragement to the work
ers. He also urged the getting ready
for the raising Of live stock In the
South by learning how to produce the
hay or forage necessary to feed the
stock.
l.. o. Watson gave information as
to the cotton wilt survey OF the state
and urged the assistance OF the agents
in getting the farmers who have wilt
to communicate with the college.
Prof. H. w. Barre explained how wilt
resistant seed are grown. There are
20 or more cooperative growers OF
wilt-resistant cotton seed in the state.
The college does not grow the seed
but merely helps in the distribution.
Prof. J. H. McClain of the depart
ment Of agriculture in Washington
told OF what Clemson Is doing In
dairying and live stock generally and
OF the placing Of one man in the state
to cooperate with all those interested
in dairying. He was followed by Prof.
Shields, who recently succeeded Prof.
A. Smith at Clemson, on the live stock
question.
