'Slings tin a painting) must not have •the appearance of being brought to- gether by chance or for a purpose, but must have a necessary and inevitable connection. I desire that the creations which I device should have the air of being dedicated to their situation, so that one could not imagine that they would dream of being anything else t'saan veleta they are. A work of art ought to be all one piece, and the men and things in it should always be there for a reason. It were better that things, weakly said should not be said at all, because in the former case they are only, as it were, deflowered and spoiled. Beauty docs not consist so much of the things represented, as in the need one has had of expressing them; and this need it is which creates the degree of force with which one acquits oneself of the work. One may say that every- thing ie beautiful provided the thing enrrre up in its own proper time and in its own place; and, contrariwise, that nothing can. be beautiful arriving in- appropriately.

Seasickness, or something, killed the par- rot the third day out. The sailor, know. ing how upset the old lady would be, could not bring himself to tell her the sad tidings, but asked a companion, fam- ous for his skill in such matters, to break the bad news to her very; very gently. The man assented. Approach- ing the old lady with a tragical face, the fatuous newsbreaker touched his cap and said: 'I'm afraid that 'ere bird o' yourn ain't goin' to live long, ma'am: 'Oh, dear!' exclaimed the old lady in alarm.

It cuts the enclosure even more tellingly than the laying down of rugs within doors; it divides sweets that may be neighbors from sweets that may not; the introduction of little threads of paths will harmonize vagrant colors as can no other device. And this is a plea for walks of grass. It is true that gravel walks given a sense of neatness and trimness;; it is true that the strip of cool white gravel is an institution as honorable a& the stars; but if you have ever been is an old-fashioned gar- den and stepped along between sweet- smelling wildernesses with wide walks oft hick grass between the, beds, then you know that the gravel walk is use- ful for nurserymen but charming for nobody. Particularly in naturalistic gardening —as if gardening can ever be anything else—grass walks are indispensable. And why not let the lawn extend to the bor- der beds? Of course narrow gravel strips may edge the border beds when they do not mar the general effect of tate lawn, but especially in email gardens these should be omitted.

An elderly churchwarden of a small church in Birmingham, England, in shav- ing himself one Sunday morning recent- ly before church time made a slight cut with the razor on the extreme end of his nose. He called his wife and asked her if she had any court plaster in the house. "You'll find some in my sewing basket," she replied. At church, while assisting with the collection, he noticed everyone smile as he passed the plate, and some of the younger people laughed outright. Much annoyed he asked a friend if he noticed anything wrong with his appearance. "Well, I should say there is," was the answer. "What is that on your nose?" "Court plaster."

A ten -candle power light was seen with a binocular at four miles, one of 29 at five miles, though faintly, and one of 33-ean,clle power at the same dis• Lance without difficulty. On an excep- tionally clear night a white light of 3.2•candle power could be distinguished at three miles, one of 5.6 at four and one of 17.2 at five miles. The experiments were made with green light, as it has been conclusively proved that if a light of that color fills the required test a red light on the same intensity will more then do so. It was found that the candle power of green light, which remained visible at one, two, three, and four miles, was 2, 15, 51 and 106 respectively. 0•I 4 HOSPITALS FAILED James Iieard, of Morton Park, Ont„ says: "While employed at the Speciality Works, of Newmarket, 6 or 7 years ago, I bruised my ankle, but through neglect, this bruise turn- ed to an ulcerated or burning tore which caused me a great deal of suffering.

I could not sleep at night with the scalding and burn- ing pain, but from the first application of Zam-Buk I never lost any sleep, and felt nothing more of it than if I hadn't any sore at all.

He said: "I will publish my book, and all my friends who admire it so much will buy my book, and I will be rich." So he printed his book. And all of his friends waited for him to send them autographed copies of his book. And so his books were sold as junk. And ever after he didn't have any friends.—Success Magazine. 4 - 9.
