Club Dance Friday Night. The first club dance of the season will be held at Masonic Hall Friday evening of this week. The Rise of a Painter. Only painters looked long at the pic- ture which Eugene Carriere exhibited at the salon of 1877, and for a dozen years afterward, while his portraits and his studies of children and women steadlly gained in distinctive charac- ter, they puzzled and repelled the un- wary, says Henry Copley Greene in the Century. Their merging varled colors in a single tone, their dissolving of sharp contours in smoke hued mist, suggested either insincerity or myopic vision. Yet little by little Carriere im- pressed first a few artists and critics, then part of the public, then even the ministry of fine arts. In 1889 he ‘was decorated, and In the next year, when his paintings were seen at the then new Salon du Champ de Mars isolated in a single group, Carriere be- gan to be more widely understood. His fervid sincerity reverberating, as it ‘were, from picture to picture destroy- ed all suspicion of pose, and as his technic grew famillar the sculptur- esque solidity of his heads and figures appeared through that mist in proof of his genius of eye and hand. Tennyson’s Cyniciem. Sir Vere de Vere was the eldest son of Sir Aubrey de Vere, the sonneteer and friend of Wordsworth, Iis broth- er, Aubrey de Yere, was a more than well known, a famous poet, and to him in his youth Walter Savage Lan- dor addressed the exhortation: Mako thy proud name still prouder for thy sons. He had no sous, however, never hav- ing married. Nelther had his brothers, Vere and Stephen. Thus the name, as a family name, DO, The De Veres were early friends of Tennyson's, and It was from them that the poet took the name which he made proverbial and symbolical of a class—*“the caste of Vere de Vere. Lady de Vere, the only Lady de Ver of fact then living, was inclined to complain that her name should be be- stowed upon the Dblack hearted Lady Clara of fiction. Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but was not master of dainty manners. He growled: “Why should you care? But of course you don’t. I didn’t make yoar namesake ugly, and I didn't make her stupid. I only made her wicked.” They Needed the Medicine. Some years ago a railway was be ing made in the west of Scotland, and it was arranged that each of the nu- merous laborers employed should pay a penny per week to a medical prac- titioner, so that they might have his services in the event of accident or medicine in case of illness. During the summer and autumn nei- their illness nor accident occurred. But when a severe winter followed all at once the “navigators” began to call on the doctor for castor oil. Each brought his bottle, into which an ounce exhausted, and the doctor was forced to send to town for a further supply. ‘When that, {oo, was getting low the doctor one day quietly asked a healthy looking fellow what was wrong with the men that they required so much castor oil. “Nothing wrong at all, doctor,” he re- plied, “but we grease our boots with it.”’—London Chronicle. Applying the Test. “There was a barber in an Indiana city who, having been out late the night Dbefore, had a shaky hand the next morning and cut a patron’s cheek four times,” said the man who insist- ed be saw the incident. “After each accident the barber said as he spong- ed away the blood, ‘Oh, dear me, how careless!” and laughed and let it go at that. “The patron took all those gashes in grave silence, but when the shave was over he filled a glass at the water cooler, took a mouthful of water and, with compressed lips, proceeded to shake his head from side to side and to toss it up and down. “‘What is the matter? the barber asked. ‘You ain’t got the toothache, have you? “‘No, said the customer. ‘I only Just wanted to see if my mouth would was all.’ ”—Dhiladelphia Record. Another Reason. An English clergyman visiting In this country told of a jilting that had happened in his parish. He said that he_had an appointment to marry a 1 couple at 4 on a certain afternoon. He appeared duly, and the bride appeared, but not the bridegroom. The clergy- man and the lady, silent and embar- rassed, waited in the quiet church from 4 till 6. Then they sadly depart- ed. A week later the same couple wrote to the clergyman again, ap- pointing another afternoon at 4 for the ceremony. And again the clergy- man and the bride were on hand duly and again the groom failed to turn up. As the two waited time passed slowly in the still and empty church. It grew darker. Five o'clock sounded, then 6. And then the bride broke the silence with a fierce ejaculation. “Drat him!” she cried. “’Tain’t his trousers this time, ’cause I bought bim a pair.” Willis Is Barking. ‘Edward Bulwer Lytton Dickens, the youngest son of the novelist, emigrat- ed to Australia and died in Sydney at the age of fifty-one. He represented a constituency in the parliament of New South Wales for six years. Once when he was addressing the house in Syd- ney he was again and again snappish- 1y Interrupted by a member named Willls. At last Mr. Dickens stopped to remark: ‘Mr. Speaker, my father colned a famous phrase, ‘Barkis is willln’.” Under present circumstances I am strongly tempted to reverse it and say, ‘Willls is barking’” The house laughed and the interruptions ceased. The Nurse's Part. “Why do so many people insist on having nurses for their children?” ask- ed the motherly woman, “That is easily explained,” answered the unpleasant man. “A nurse en- ables a woman to send a crying baby out of her own hearing and let it stay on the sldewalk to annoy the neigh- bors.”—Washington Star. An Improvement. “Jumping cats!” yelled the victim in the chair. “You've cut off part of my ear!” “Why, so I have,” replied the barber coolly, “but you must admit it looks Dbetfer than the other ones does.” His Three Laughs. “The fool,” wrote Burne-Jones in one of his letters, “has three laughs. He laughs at what is good, he laughs at what is bad, and he laughs at what he does not understand.” Talent Is that which is in a man’s power. Genius is that In whose pow- er a man {s.—Lowell Literary Exercises. Wife (scornfully)—Oh, I've no doubt you were at your literary club reciting Ppoetry till this hour of the night.

The woman, looking | embarrassed, sald: “No, 1 didn't give lyou that. 1 gave you a $250 gold | plece, didn’t 17" amazed and I thought you meant to | glve me sure you had made n mistake, d the man. The woman, [ with an apology, took the penny and ! gave him a gold plece. Then she went !back to her stateroom to count her i money and to try to understand. | 1t came to her all right. She remem- i bered two years hefore on her home- ward trip a fellow passenger had told bow the steward had come to her with {a new penny given him by mistake, { the steward said, and she had made it good. It was a little late then—she had been an “easy mark,” and she knew it ~—and it wouldn’t do a bit of good to object. She did tell the purser, who promised to investigate. She knew, too, what that meant.—New York Sun. The Old Buffalo Days. There is on record at the war de- partment, Washington, a document bearing witness to how plentiful buf- faloes were within the memory of many men now living. It is the “re- turn” for several rounds of cannon ammunition expended in Kansas in 1867 to divert the course of a great herd of buffalo that was bearing down toward a camp of soldiers with a { force that threatened to overwhelm it. At least one officer is alive who saw | these shots fired, and he describes the i herd as literally reaching as far as the eye could see. It was a long time in ! passing the camp, whose occupants watched it in silence, awed by the | spectacle. General Philip St. George | Cooke at once halted a regiment of | cavalry on the plains to permit a great herd of antelope to pass, and he was not a man easily halted when on duty. His humanity impelled him to with- hold the regiment from mangling and maiming the antelope, which were al- lowed the right of way.—Boston Tran- seript, Who Could Pass? | To test the spelling capabilities of | fifty applicants for junior clerkships {In the offices of the Sydney water and sewerage board they were called upon { to write from dictation this paragraph: | “This celibate was a licentiate in medi- cine and held other scholastic diplo- mas. His characteristics were idiosyn- crasies personified—one day taciturn, the next garrulous. Today his facile { pen evolves a sapient distich in piquant | satire of some literary genius; tomor- {row an encomiastic effusion on ‘an il- | literate voluptuary. His studies on concrete science were exotic; his re- searches in natural philosophy esoteric if not chimerical.” No less than forty- three out of the fifty candidates came to grief in this artfully designed spell- ing obstacle race. At the next meet- i Ing of the board a member doubted whether ten out of fifty Oxford M. A.’s, if suddenly called upon to write out the same passage, would succeed in ne- gotlating every one of the big words | successfully.—London Chronicle. A Queer Servian Belief. { To hatch a chicken by holding an i egg for the allotted time in the left armpit is believed in Servia to be a certain charm against violent death, more especially if the bird be swal- lowed whole forty days after it comes to life. A robber who had devastated the district of Kolubara for many years was, writes a Belgrade corre- spondent, known to have accomplished both these feats, which accounted for the apathy of the peasants in pursuing him, persuaded as they were of his in- vulnerability. He was finally, how- ever, killed by the mounted police, thus discrediting a time honored Ser: vian superstition. All at Once. . He came down to breakfast, and nothing was ready, so he rang the bell. “Mrs. Perkins,” he sald when the boarding house keeper appeared, “what is the meaning of this? Why is break- fast not ready?’ “Well, sir,” replied Mrs. Perkins, “I got a mice bit of fish for you, but I'm sorry to say, sir, the cat”— “Confound the cat! Then let me have the cold chicken.” “I regret to say, sir, the cat”— “Well, then, some eggs.” “There are no eggs, sir; the cat’— “Hang it qll, then cook the cat, and we’ll have it all at once!”—London Mail. Ground Flat. A young man from a country village when sightseeing in Edinburgh was greatly astonished on seeing “Mr. Smith, Tallor (ground flat),” inscribed on a door and after a careful study of the plate exclaimed: “Great Scott, sic a death! Shairly he’s been run ower wi’ a steam roller!” ~London Graphic. Her Preference.
