The recent discovery or a valuable Correggio in the mountain home of a Moroccan bandit furnishes the latest example of the romantic vicissitudes of old masters many of which are at least as strange as fiction, says London Tit- Mts. If picture* had tongues what curioue stories of wandering and adventure some of them could tell: Take, for Instance, that magnificent picture of Titian, a canvas sixteen feet long and seven feet high, representing the en- tombment of Christ, which was lost for centuries, only to oorne to lighein a church in the heart of Mexico; or that portrait of Nell (wynne, by Sir Peter belie which was discovered not long ago by a doctor in a Birmingham slum. Take, too, Raphael's famous Massacre of the /nnocents," which was found, af- ter generations of disappearance, in the cottage a a poor widow at Como. Piece by piece it was passible, with much dif- ficulty, to reconstruct some of the his- tory of this treasure of art, and a strange story it is. At one time It be- longed to the celebrated Cardinal Yp- polito d'Este, Ariesto's patron, from whose hands it passed into those ot another cardinal, Luigi d'Este. At his death a priest of Reggto became its owner for the ridiculous sum of a sovereign; and he, after refusing thrice this sum for it, presented It to the Duke Alfonzo d'Este, who in turn gave it to the Princess Margherita Gonzaga. his niece. When the princess died the picture passed to the Duke of Urbino, and from that' stage of as history nothing more was heard of it until 1658, when the Duke d'Este employed a Feancis- can monk to find it at any cot. For five years the monk foegtit everywhere in vain, and at the end of the time he reported to the duke that "after hav- ing traveled all over Italy on his quest and employing every means, both spir- itual and mental, he was forced to abandon the hopeless task," and now, two and a half centuries later, the long lost picture has come thus strangely to light. A few years ago one of Albert Dur - eras masterpieces was discovered, dust smothered and despised, among the lumber in a, granary near Courtrai. Tho farmer—a womon—took it into her head one day to clear the granary of its "rub- bish," and for a few ooppers she was glad to get the son of the local coach painter to remove it all, including the "dirty piece of painted wood." The painting was cleaned and submitted to an expert, who recognized it as a Durer which had been stolen from the Na- tional Museum of Munich many years earlier. Among some add canvasses which were knocked down for the equivalent of a few shillings at an auction sale at Rome to Herr Hunterspergh, a Tyro- lese restorer of old pictures, was a very inferior picture of flowers which wart practically worthless, The canvas, how- ever, attracted the attention. of an art connoisseur, who suspected •that there might be another painting beneath the surface presentment of flowers, and by skillfully removing the layers of paint he revealed an exquisite work of Car - veggie, which he later sold to Lord Bristol for £1,500. Lord Crewe has among his art treas- ures a valuable canvas, of which the following romantic story Is told; Ma.ny years ago one of his ancestors had a picture painted of his son and. daugh- ter, the former, who was very young, being presented as a Cupid. In later years, when the son hdd grown to man- hood, he quarreled with his father, and, by way of revenge, cut the Cupid out of the canvas For a century nothing was seen of the portion of the picture thus removed, when It fen into the hands of a dealer, who restored it to the then head of the' house. A similar mutilation was practiced oh a valuable painting, 'The Field of the Cloth of Gold," the property of Charles I. When Cromwell negotiated with a Continental dealer for the sale of the royal pictures it was found that the head of Henry VIII. was miss- ing from this canvas, which thus es- caped the tete of its fellows. When the Second Charles cense to the throne the missing part was restored by a great nobleman, who had adopted this ingenious method of preventing the picture from going out of the country. Garcia's Singing Lesson. Stories of Manuel Garcia, the- fa.moue centenarian musician, who died a few days ago in London, are in order. An indomitable will power gave him great ascendancy over each pupil; his science and cleverness enabled ,him to know at once If he had to deal with a pupil of promise or not, and unlikely aspirants were not allowed to waste his time and theirs. An acquaintance describes a typical incident: "I remember a not- able case in point. A very rich woman offered the master any price if he would only teach her daughter. He re- fused, knowing well he could never ob- tain serious work from her; but, as the mother persisted, he hit upon a compromise. s He asked the women to be present during a lesson, and he un- dertook, if the girt still wished to learn singing after hearing it taught, to teacb her. The lesson began. T -he Pu- pil, who seemed to the listeners an al- ready finished singer, had to repeat passage after passage of the most Mt - Scutt exercises before the master was satisfied; be insisted upon the minutest attention to every detail of execution. Mother stud daughter exchanged horri- die41 glances and looped on pityingly. The lesson finished, the master bowed the women out, and, in passing the pupil, the young girl whiepered to her, "It would kin me!" Senor Gareia, re- tail:0g trot:kit* door, said contented - lee "They will hot Come again. Thank you, mon enfant; you sang wen." Vanishing Sea Coast. A letter was read at a meeting of the Walton -on -the -Naze Urban District Council recently from the Great Eatt- ern Railway Company, directing at. tention to the need a the sea defense works near the railway line being fun tiler strengthened. At one point the sea is stated to hare encroached to within about sixty feet of he railway, and the erosion is still going on. Abolishing the Millierialas. John Hedge, M.

The ancient game of golf has alway8 been known as the royal game, and different Kings of England have play- ed it In the past, and are tolerably certain to do so in the future. One of the most cherished trophies of the game, which is annually competed for by the members of the premier club— The Royal and Ancient of St. An- drews—is the King William IV. medal, and it is spoken of as a possibility that a future King, in Prince Edward, may aspire to win this prize, whose name it bears. At all events, he will probe -1)1Y become the temporary possessor of the Queen Adelaide medal, presented by the consort of the sovereign just men- ,tioned, and which is formally held by the captain of the year. If he does he will only be telemeter. in the footsteps of the preserirKing, for it may be for- gotten now that His Majesty was once actually the captain of the Royal and Ancient Club, and it is probably the only case on record of such an exalted Personage having been captain—as dis- tinguished from president or patron— of any club devoted to a mere genie. This was in 1863. The fact is that young Prince Ed- ward and Prince Albert of Wales have lately been practicing golf more than any other game, and they are said to be attaining such proficiency at it as le only to be obtained in youth, and, which Invariably leads to the playing of a fine game In after life. It Is said that King Edward, by his advice and encouragement, is indirectly respons- 1 ible for the royal children being put to the game at this early stage. - "It Is a magnificent game," said the King not long ago when on a certain links With a friend, "I only wish that I had been set to It properly when I was younger, then I might have played really well. I fear it is too late now, and time has become too precious." These regrets on the part of His Ma- jesty are just those of so many other golfers whose studies of the game have been to some extent neglected hi their youth. But Itis Majesty did play the game when young, and is still a great enthusiast at everything connected with it. As a boy he was occasionally sten with a club in hand on the famous links at Musselburgh when he was pur- suing his studies at the royal high 3chool in Edinburgh. It is said that the King used to hit a very good ball -with his driver, and that he was a very accurate player on the putting greens. His Majesty is a good judge of play- ing clubs, and in his time he has had several sets made to his own order and design. One of the last of these W.9.5 made only three or four years ago 'by the famous North Berwick club - maker and professional, Bernard Say- ers, who received a special commis- sion for the purpose. His Majesty is familiar with several courses, and particularly with some of those on the continent. He knower, the Biarritz Ilnks welt, and not long since, when at Marienbad, he took part in the opening ceremony of a new colt course there. But the links •to which he is most attached are those of which he was himself the architect, these be- ing situated in the grounds at Windsor, commencing on the East Terrace and extending for two miles by Adelaide Lodge to the royal kennels. This con- stitutes a good nine -hole course, over which the King himself, the Prince of Wales and many other celebrated peo- ple have very frequently played, Mn Balfour, when Primo Minister, often took his clubs with him when he went down to Windsor to play over this course. In Queen Victoria's lifetime the ground which is now occupied by this course was used for pasture only, but the King felt the necessity of having a good private course of his own for the use of his family and guests, and a very well-known amateur golfer, I Mr. Mure Fergusson, was invited to lay out these nine holes. They were, ! however, rather neglected until the early part of last year, when the King took them very seriously in hand, made a close inspection of the course and ordered the rough krass to be cut from the "fairway." Then, under the King's own personal direction, several fresh bunkers were cut and dug out, His Majesty having come to the con- clusion that the golf on this course of his was rather too tame, and that in the interests of his guests he should have more traps made to catch badly - played balls. These bunkers, which were placed exactly where the King ordered them to be, were also made according to the pattern that His Ma- jesty suggested, this being a rather novel one. A man has to play very fine golf to "hole out" at all these nine holes on the King's course in thirty- eight strokes. Told of a Green Rider. In connection with the annual point to point steeplechases of a certain hunt a rather good story Is told: In the principal event a nasty spill occurred, as the result of which the young son of a sporting farmer had his leg broken. This apparently did not trouble him so much as did the indifference of the horse's owner — a wealthy woman in the locality—who did not even ask If the young fellow was hurt. "Oh, well," the victim casually re- marked a day or two later, "I suppose it shows her bringing up!' This speech, being reported to the owner of the horse, brought her down to the farm In a towering passion. "How etafre you make such 'a ire - mark?" rho stormed. "Fm a well bred woman, and I will not be publicly in- sulted by a low born renew with one leg in the gravel" The Invalid shifted his pipe to the other side of his mouth and, regarding his visitor grittily, made reply: "So thou'rt a well bred 'un, art OA So wor the 'oss I rode. An' thou'rt like 'Im in another way—thou'rt nobbut hall trained!" White Specks In nutter.
