"A Perfect SaW.n

gro say nothing and saw wood" seems to me one of the most sagacious phrases passed down by our hard working forebears. Like most say. ings which have emanated from man. ual labor, this Is blunt, homely, and, to the loQuaciously inclined. painfully accurate. Show me man bent jack knife-fashion over a saw-horse. with a short log under his buck, and I will point out a man who is minding his own business with admirable zeal. II he must speak, he ceases to saw. While he saws he Is necessarily mute. Hence this shrewd phrase, which is, punning aside, perfect saw.-Atlan- tic.

THE ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT.

James Huneker condemns. the use of the artistic temperament" as disguise for dissipation" and 'vul- garity," in his "Pathos of Distance" In one of it's papers, "The Artist and His Wife" he says:
 "Hawked about the market place instead of reposing in the holy of holies, this temperament has become a byword. It Is synonym for nerves A true artist can get along without it, keeping within the sane tuary of his soul the ideal that is the handspring of his work.
 The true artists temperament, in reality, is the perception and appre- citation of beauty. whether in pigment form, tone words, or in nature. It may exist coevally with strong reli- gious sense It adds new values to gray everyday life. But its possessor does not parade this personal quality as an excuse for license. That he leaves to the third-rate artisan. to the charlatan to the vicious, who shield their actions behind a too torrid tenn Derament."

HATEFUL NUMBERS.

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema has re- gently confessed that many of his happfest memories have been associ- ated with the number seventeen. and it is a reminder that Captain Oates of the idated Scott Expedition. went to his death in a blizzard on March r which was the date of his birthday. Similarly, the great Oliver Cromwell died on Sept. 3. which was the anni- Versary of his two great victories at Dunbar and Worcester; and Shake speare's ath-day has been claimed by many experts to have been also his birthday.
 Charles Dickens once declared that all the fortunate events of his life happened on Fridays; and Bismarck held, with Pythagoras, that three and net thirteen is the perfect number. At any rate, Bismarck had three names, three oak leaves figured in his family arms, he was concerned in three chill dren, he was responsible for the Triple, Alliance, in the Franco G erman War he had three horses shot under him, and eaficdturists always represented him with but three hairs on his head.
