STORIES OF LANDSEER.
A Picture That May Have Hastensd
 the Death of the Artist.

In his books about "St. Johns Wood" Mir, Alan Montgomery Eyre recalls some of the many stories ot Sir Edwin Landseer, who was a resident of that part of London for half century.
 Landseer was clever as an animal painter, but he was none the less skillful as a painter of portraits. A suggestion was once made to Syd- ney Smith that he should sit for his portrait to Landseer. The ready reply was, 'Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing?"
 Another equally well known story is that which tells that the painter had remarked to the witty dignitary of the church, "With your love of humor it must be an act of great self denial to abstain from going to thcaters." "The managers, re- piled Smith, "are very polite. They send me free admissions, which l can't use, and in return l send them free admissions to St. Paul's!"
 Sir Edwin was usually very nerv- ous about exhibiting his work to anybody, and his friend, G. D. Les lie, says:
 q had expressed my admiration for a beautifully painted group Of dead ptarmigan, hares, etc., in pie ture of his, which also contained many peoples portraits. The next morning l was extremely astonished and mortified at finding the whole group rubbed out, some rocks and heather being substituted in its place. 1 asked him why he had done this, as the group had appear ed to me so excellently painted. He replied: "Yes, that's just it. l am not going to have the fellows say how much better can paint fur and feathers than f1esh!"
 This picture was the we'll known one of the royal family and group of Highland attendants. From 1854 to 1870 Landseer was Continually altering, scraping out and repaint- ing this picture until the surface was completely ruined." 1 feel sure," adds Leslie, ''that the trouble Landseer had over this picture did more than anything else to hasten his death. ."-Westminster Gazette.

BOYS AND DIRT.

X Chicago woman who had been divorced from her husband sought the custody of her two boys on the ground that the faith CT was not fit person to be their custodian. She presented testimony to show that he allow ed them to go about with dirty hands and faces. The other tes- timony was that he provided for them handsomely, kept them in school and with good associates, but the mother rested her case on the, dirty hands testimony: Judge Sullivan allowed the father to keep the children and, in render ing his dcesiion, said: ]
 The fact that the boys may be found dirty at times only dem- onstrates that they are boys of the usual agility and enthusiasm of that age. 1 would not give anything for the 9-year-old boy who would keep clean for l5 minutes. There surely would be something the matter with him. y
 It is all right to preach sanita- tion and lay stress on the claim that cleanliness is next to godli- ness, but exceptions should all ways be made in the case of the boys. What were the trees made for, if not to climmb, and why are caves if not for the conceal ment of or search for treasure How is a kid going to play mar bles or crack -the-whip, OF shin n-yOur-nwn-side OF any of the rough and tumble games that develop the lungs and the mus cles and bring the bloom of health to the cheeks if he has to keep his hands clean and manicured nicely all the time? Lucky is the boy who gets his case before a judge who remembers his own bOyhOOd.

Tho Sundial.

Among the ornaments of lawn or garden the sundial is one of the most interesting. It is interesting not merely from its novelty, few persons having ever seen one, but from its antiquity as well. The center of the garden may be the most convenient position in which to place it. In blowing the garden the part on which it sets can be taken up and afterward replaced. If on the lawn location must be selected that is free from shade While it Plumbers only sunny hours," it may recall sunny remem. brances of some friend whose skill may have fashioned it or is in some way connected with it, though he himself has passed in to the endur- ing light of the better land.-Na- tional Stockman and Farmer.
