REMBRANDT'S CAREER.
1t Is Sermon on the Fickleness Of
Popular Approval.

The career Of Rembrandt. now gen
orally acknowledged to be one of the
very greatest of painters. is an illus
tration of the fickleness of popular ap-
prevail. During the last twenty three
years Of his life he disappeared lin a
shadow like that which envelops the
mystery Of his painting"
In Sketches of Great Painters"
book by Edwin Watts Chubb, there is
an interesting aragraph-interestin
alike to the philosopher and to the lover
of art. "A generation after the death
of Rembrandt his great-nephew OBJ
served that "a short time ago the ignO-
rance of reputed cOnnOiSSeurS was so
gross with regard to the work Of the
mighty Rembrandt that it was pos
sible to buy one of his portraits for
sixpence.'
1.-TWO centuries later an American
millionaire, according to current re-
ports, paid 100000 for one production,
The MILL When he died ID forms
were spent on his funeral; in 1906,
when celebrating his tercentenary,
Leyden and Amsterdam spent thou
sands in his honor. When he lived his
house. Saskia's home, was sold under
the hammer Of the sheriff; now the mu-
nicipality has purchased the property,
which has become the shrine Of wor-
shipful admirers, who come from all
parts of the earth to see the place
where once lived Rembrandt. Within
a generation of his work criticism be-
lieved that the vulgar and prosaic as
poets of subject were the only ones
he was capable of noting and that his
was manner founded on delusion.'
To-day we say that Rembrandt was
universal in his sympathy, seeing
where others were blind; that the rat
catcher as well as the saint, the aged
beggar as well as the prince, the wrin-
kled old Dutch vrouw as we'll as Cupid,
were seen as worthy Of the interpret
ing brush of the painter or needle Of
the etcher; that be is Of the race Of
Michelangelo and VelaSqueZ, Of Titan
and Raphael, of Leonardo and Rubens, .

THE STRAIN ON OUR EYES.
Modern Conditions, Not Poorer Vision,
Necessitate Glasses.

The question, Are our eyes weak
err" is frequently asked by people
who observe closely and who are dis
mayed by the remarkably large num-
Der Of people who wear glasses today
as compared with a generation or so
ago. Our eyes are not degenerating.
The eyes Of the present generation are
in no wise poorer, weaker or inferior
to those of our ancestors, notwith-
standing the fact that far greater per-
centage wear glasses than formerly.
The probabilities are that the eyes
Of the human race are neither weaker
nor stronger today than were those OF
our forefathers, unless it can be proved
that the whole physique Of the race to-
day is weaker or stronger. AS is the
whole physical body, so are the eyes.
But much more Is required Of our
eyes now than was ever required or our
ancestors. The strenuous struggle for
existence today, the ever increasing
completely Of our modern civilized life,
the multiplying knowledge of the
world in all lines Of human endeavor,
knowledge that must be mastered If
we would rise and achieve success, put
far greater strain on the eyes Of this
generation than on those that have
gone before.
Our schools are far more exacting
and severe. the business and scientific
world require closer application and
more painstaking care than ever be
fore. Electricity has turned night into
day, and much more work is now done
by artificial illumination than in the
past. Sharp competition in every line
makes it necessary to have the best
vision Obtainable.
Because OF these exactirg demands
on our eyes, latent imperfectons, err
rors Of refraction. causing eye strain,
are brought out and made manifest by
symptoms Of discomfort and distress,
compelling us to seek the Improvement
Of vision and the comfort afforded by
properly fitting lenses.-Journal or the

and raising his cap. While the pres1-
dent takes his recreation he constantly
is in touch with Washington and
spends many afternoons on problems
Of state.
President Wilson recently decided
not to visit the Panama-Pacific expOSi-
ton at San Francisco. According to
those acquainted with his plans, he
will remain in Washington or at Cor
nish, n. H.. throughout the summer.
His decision to abandon the trip to
the Pacific coast Is due to the war In
Europe
Hariakenden House, the summer
White House, was built about dozen
years ago. The view from the broad
portico commands many miles Of the
Connecticut river winding among the
green crested hills. The lawns are
adorned with formal shrubs and
bushes, but for the most part the natu-
raj beauty Of the estate has been pre-
served.
The country within a radius OF twen-
ty-five miles Of Harlakenden is very
picturesque Winston Churchill has de-
scribed it in his own words as follows:
1.-THE hills are high and the valleys
deep, and the scenery has all the rug
gedness necessary to great beauty,
while 1t remains pastoral In fact. it
may be said to have a quality not pos
sessed by any other scenery in this
country. 1t is not unlike parts of Italy.
The climate is delightful. The nights
are cool and the days in midsummer
not at all UNDESIRABLE on these hills.

Literature and Politics.
When President Wilson moves into
his summer capital he invadeS an at
mosphere both of literature and OF poll
ties. Sullivan county In the vicinity of
Cornish has long been favorite refuge
for artists and writer's. The late Au-
gustus Saint Gaudens had home there.
as did Maxfield Parrish. the artist, and
many others of national reputation. 1t
was in Cornish that Winston Churchill
wrote "Coniston" and Mr.. Crewe's Ca
reer," which were largely drawn from
the authors observances of New Hamp-
shire politics.
Harlakenden House possesses the
quiet dignity of an English country
place. Blue Mountain park. one of the
most extensive game preserves in the
country, embracing large part of five
townships, lies within easy motoring
distance of the presidents summer
residence. This park is twenty-five
miles around and contains elk, buffalo,
Wild bear, deer and moose. Because
of the beauty of its scenery and the
natural ruggedness of its hills the
Granite State. adopted by the nations
chief executive, has often been called
the Switzerland of America.
With Mr. Churchill as host many dis
tinguished persons have been enter
tanned at HarIakenden House. Among
these were former President Roosevelt
and Ambassador Bryce of Great Brit
ain. Mr. Churchill himself was the
Progressive candidate for governor of
New Hampshire, and the consequent
split in the regular Republican party
contributed not little to the success
Of Mr.. Wilson's party. It will be re-

Cornish Home Of Wealth.
Cornish is one Of the wealthiest
towns of New Hampshire. This is due,
not entirely to the fertility Of it's farms,
nor to the timber in its forests, but
principally to the "city folks" who have
settled there.
The influx Of lefty folks" first began
in 1885, with G. C. Beaman. New
York lawyer, who married a resident
Of Windsor, Vt He built home in
Cornish, to which he gradually added,
and with his farm the estate now en-
braces about 1900 acres. The artist
colony first started with Augustus
Saint Gaudens, George de Forest Brush,
Thomas w. Dewing and Homer Saint
Gaudens, all sculptOrs and painters Of
note, followed in short order. Nearly
all Of these men bought old farmhouses,
converting them into beautiful homes.
The artist colony seems, however, to
have later turned into a literary one.
Louis Evan Shipman and Herbert II.
CroIy came in 1893. In 1898 Winston
Churchill made his home in Cornish,
and there he wrote nearly all OF his
novels. Norman Hapgood has mag
nificent home in the mountains, and
there are many others. There Is a
kindred, friendly feeling pervading the
community, between the Cornish folks
and the city folks" each for the other.
The township of Cornish erected SOL
ders' monument at Cornish Flat, a
few miles away, perpetuating the
memory of the Cornish men who
fought and died in the civil war. Hard
