SUNLIGHT.

Sunlight is one of the best family
physi clans, but this does not mean
that one should broil all day long in
the hot summer sun.
However, there should be sunshine
some time in the day in every room
in the house, for it is health 10 the
mind as well as the body.
Sunlight is the best cleanser the
housewife can employ. And summer
time is the time of all times to open
wide the doors and let the sunshine
in.

A Monstrous Tide.

The bay of Fundy forms a cul-de-sac
at which the Atlantic ocean seems to
have taken a special spite and at reg
ular intervals pours into it an enor-
o amount Of water. Take the har-
Dor Of st. John as an illustration Of
what this mighty tide must be. In
most parts of the world a tide Of ten
feet is considered something abnor-
NAL, but at st. John it rises twenty to
t%wenty-fOur feet in good weather. In
stormy weather the monotony is va.
ried by the high water mark being
pushed up even ten or fifteen feet
higher.

There will be no big brother to abuse
her for not doing half of his work and
no little brother to make enough noise

KIT-CAT PORTRAITS.
Origin Of tho Term That Stands For
Stupid Mediocrity.

Stupid Mediocrity.
Several years ago an eastern art crit
ic waXed sarcastic concerning a cOllec-
ton of paintings on view at n of the
leading New York clubs. In the course
of a vitriolic TRADE he relieved him
self of the assertion that the exhibit
ton consisted chiefly Of kit-cat por-
traits. Those who went to the club
rooms expecting to see adOrn-
ed with feline compositions were con-
demned to disappointment. There was
not a cat picture in the whole show.
What is a kit-cat portraitT' was the
burning question Of the hour. Why, Il
stupid portrait, a commonplace piece
Of painting that reveals no glimmer Of
genius. At this stage Of the eXplana-
ton the inevitable interruption-"But
why do you call it a kit-cat picture?'
And not one critic out Of a hundred
had the remOteSt idea.
The term for stupid mediocrity had
its origin in a collection of fOrty-two
portraits of prominent men painted be-
tween 1903 and 1920 by Sir Godfrey
Kneller, one of the best known British
portrait painters. They We're exactly
the same size and were framed alike;
hence the idea of monotony which led
to the idea of mediocrity. The sub
jects of these portraits were members

D~iSTiLLERIES.

For several years there has

posed to favor the manufacture
Of denatured alcohol by farmers,
yet we find no successful farm
ers' alcohol plants. In Germany,
where this industry has devel-
oped, considerable encourage
mcnt has been given by the gov
eminent; there has been long
continued experimentation, and
a system is in operation for the
return of the mash from the al
cohol distilleries for the farmers
use as feed for cattle.
On American farms there is far
less need for a method Of using
byproducts, and our farmers
have not been forced to practice
such close economies as have the
Germans.

YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE.
The Custom Of Dating Proclamations
by the President.

by the President.
While the president of the United
states dates official documents from
the year of the Declaration of indie
p~endence, there is no law on the sub
,e>t. and the custom is neither general
nor binding, the form being used only
VI proclamations by the president. 1t
originated before the adoption of the
constitution during the days of the
r~onfederacy.
The original articles Of confederation
show they were signed by the dele
gates at Philadelphia, in the state of
Pennsylvania, the 9th day of July, in
the year of our Lord, 177S, and in the
third year of the independence Of
.Amcrica.' The sigDers dated 1.-The in
dependence of America" from the Dec
laration of Independence, July 4, 1776,
although the var was still young and
continued several years longer. The
constitution shows it was signed 1.-THE
18th day of September \. D., 1877, and
of the independence of the United
States of America the 18th"
The first proclamation issued by
Washington as president was, "Given
under my hand and the seal of the
United States in the city Of New York
the 18th day of August A. d., 1890
and in the fifteenth year Of the SOW
ereignty and Independence of the
United States" He used the phrase
sovereignty and independence" in
two proclamations and then dropped
the word sovereignty.
All subsequent executive proclama-
lions are dated from the year of indie
pendence. as beginning July 4, 1776,
although the independence Of the Unit
ed States was not acknowledged till
several years later. - Philadelphia
