Famous MARYLAND Artists.

Maryland has reason to be proud of
The two artists, Charles and REM
brandt Peale. The former was born
at Chestcrtown. Md, in 1741. Like
Robert Fulton, he was both artist and
inventor. Charles Peale started life
as saddler, then silversmith, watcht
maker and carver. He went to Bosy
ton and studied under the celebrated
Copley, and later In London under
Benjamin West. Then came the honor
of painting the first portrait of WASH
ington as Virginia colonel In 1772.
During the revolution he commanded a
company at the battle of Trenton and
Germantown and was a member Of
the Pennsylvania convention of 1777.
He, however, rendered q greater serv-
ice to posterlty by painting the por-
traits of the leading officers of the
Revolution, and was one of the pro-
moters of the Academy of Fine Arts in
Philadelphia. This most versatile man,
besides inventing a great variety of
machines, was the first American MANI
ufacturer of enamel teeth. He died in
Philadelphia in 1927, but his art lived
in the person of his famous son, REM
brandt Peale.

The Hands ano the Mind.

The hands and the intellect are tho
chief distinguishing marks between the
human and the beast. The human in
tellect conceives great things, but there
must be human hands to execute them.
The connection between intellect and
hands has been a subject of much
study, with little definite conclusion.
Many have attIcked the question of
whether or not the hands have an in
stinet whereby they do things without
the intellect. A justified conclusion is
that, if the hands do not have an in
stinet. they have an uncanny and very
direct contact with the brain which
works so unexpectedly that the hands
seem TO have an instinct for doing
things without being told to do so.
Steuographers will tell you that they
become confused when they concen-
trate their minds upon the keyboard of
the typewriter, but when they let the
hands work automatically they can do
their work much faster.

ALWAYS SOURCE OF WORRY
cred Even Those Who "Sat In
the High Places"

The Springfield Republican exhumes
and exhibits the fact that Charles Dick
ems once had a talk with Queen Vic,
toria at Buckingham palace, and that
the chief subjects of the conversation
were the difficulties of obtaining satis-
factory domestic service and the in-
creasing cost of victuals.
The incident, remarks the Louisville
Courier-Journal, throws an interesting
sidelight upon the characters Of two
notables, showing that neither of them
overvalued formality, and that the two
of them were able to discuss in neigh-
borly fashion the problems in which
they were as much concerned as they
were in problems of state or phases Of
literature or the other arts.
1t is altogether probable that the AS
syrian, Persian and Egyptian mons
archs, when those countries wera
young, if they ever were young, thought
and talked as the widow of Windsor
and the great novelist thought and
talked at q much later period. Theirs
is every reason to believe that when
Darius was consulting with his eni
gineers about the feasibility of digging
a canal across the Isthmus of Suez ha
was having trouble getting his three
meals cooked and served as he de-

 I could hear the murmur of our brook somewhere ahead of me, but there was Ia tangle of trees and brushwood be- tween me and it. I was making my way through this at point which was just out of sight of my companions, when, under one of the trees, noticed something red huddled among the bushes. As approached it was shocked to see that it was the dead body of the missing Indian. He lay upon his side, his limbs drawn up and his head screwed round at a most un- natural angle, So that he seemed to be looking straight over his own shoulder. I gave q cry to warn my friends that something was amiss, and, running
