DETAILLE AND THE TROOPER
Great French Artist Required Two
Things Of Soldier Whose Portrait
He Painted.

M. Jules Claretie, who was a friend
Of Edouard Detaille, tells a charming
anecdote of the painter in the Temps
One day a young trooper rang at his
studio and asked IL NJ. Detaille would
mind taking his likeness.
who sent you to me?" asked De
taille. my comrades Of the regiment
who say that you are jolly good at
catching a likeness, and as | wanted
to send Christmas present to my
people thought would have my
portrait done by you. How much will
you charge met" How much have
you in your pocket?" asked Detaille
"Twenty-six francs" and the trooper
pulled out the money, tied up in his
handkerchief, adding, Perhaps that
won't be enough"
"oh. yes, lots" said Detaille; sit
down." And he had soon painted the
soldiers portrait on a small wood
panel. There you are; l hope your
people will like it." Il think they
WILL" said the trooper; at isn't bad
at ALL" and he united the four corners
of the handkerchief to pay Detaille his
twenty-six francs.
But Detaille stopped him. mo;
keep your money; but you must do
!wo things. First Of all. spend 1t all
n drinks to my health, and secondly
ion't send me your comrades to have
heir portraits done-I should be over
worked"

TRAPPING IN MAINE PAYS
Foxes and Minks Are Liquidatlns the
Mortgages on Many Of the
Farms.

It is estimated that 1900 foxes have
been shot and trapped for their hides
in Somerset county this season, &C
cording to a Skowhegan correspon-
dent. The fur dealers claim that the
foxes and mink have never been so
plentiful The fox skins have brought
more money per skin than in several
years back. 1t is estimated that the
hunters have realized from fox skins
alone in the county nearly $4,000.
One of the most unusual things in
connection with this industry, one
man alone in the county caught in
two days time a black fox and a
gray one that brought him check for
$4,000 and in a weeks time this man
trapped ten red foxes.
This Is getting to be one Of the
greatest industries and many farm.
ers are making as much money hunt
ing as they earn on the farm during
the rest of the season. Many have
earned enough money from catching
foxes and skunks to pay the mort
cages on their farms. A fox skin on
an average this year brings IS.
One farmer this winter let his dog
out Of doors in the morning and it
Immediately left for the woods Along
in the middle of the forenoon the
man, while sitting in the house, heard
noise in the entry and opened a
door and red fox. closely followed
by the dog, rushed in.
The kitchen window was open and
before the man could stop 1t the fox
had made leap for 1t, but when he
did he knocked the stick out that
held the window up and he was
caught by the window as 1t fell and
was then killed-Lewiston Journal.

Petrifaction, sometimes called fos-
silization, Is process OF turning to
stone by chemical appropriation or alb.
sorption Of certain mineral elements
chiefly silica, fiinty substance like
pulverized quartz. Just how leaves,
branches OF trees, etc, absorb and ap-
propriate silica to such an extent as
to convert them into stone cannot be
explained, but they do. Some springs
and some streams contain SO much
silica that branches OF trees and other
vegetable matter lying for length Of
time in the water become so impreg.
mated with silica that they are con-
verted into stone. The petrification
of a human body, shut OFF from con.
tact with water OF earth, would be
more difficult to explain, and we doubt
II there is an authenticated case OF
the kind. A great many vegetable
fossils or petrifactions have been
found, but we think no animal petri-
factions.

WILL PLEASE YOUNG FOLKS
II Plan to HumanIze Arithmetic Sue
eeeds Professor Stone VIII Be
Popular Man.

II John c. Stone, head of the depart
ment Of mathematics in the State Nor
NAL school, Montclair, n. J., gets what
he demands, he will be the most pop
ular man in the United States OF
Ameica with over 100000 small
boys and girls.
He wants to "humanize arithmetic,
to cut out of common school education
such banes Of existence to small boys
and girls as cube foot; all fractions
with denominators like elevenths,
nineteenths, twenty-thirds and the
like; all problems in taxes, customs,
insurance, stocks and bonds, foreign
exchange, technical arithmetic which
deals with bricklaying, carpet laying,
plastering, paper hanging and such
work, which is governed by trade
rules; the measurements of the frus
trum Of cone, pyramid or a sphere;
and many other awful things which
have kept little curly heads weeping
under the lamplight when they should
have been sound asleep upon the pill
low.
He wants a child to learn arithme-
tic as 1t learns to spell and read; to
solve the problem by merely look.
ing at 1t. He asserts that the arith.
metic necessary for daily life is
enough for any child. He believes
that examinations should test judg.
ment and accuracy, and not memory;
and that a child should have the
use Of the text books while he is be-
ing examined.
Many hold Professor Stone to be
right. Interest is not computed in
banks by calculation, but by referring
to tables already prepared by ex-
perts. When army officers shoot
great cannons at a mark, which they
cannot see 1t is done from tables com
puted beforehand by men who have
nothing else to do; If they had to
calculate each shot the enemy would
have them blown to pieces.
One poor little kid wept himself to
sleep because he couldn't answer this:
IF the hands Of clock are together
at noon at what time will they be
together next?"
