The portrait was painted, and Irving, much pleas ed, requested Whlxtler to let blm buy It and to uiime a price nut too high for bU slender purse. Having bad the pleasure of Whistler's acquaintance, the writer can Imagine the following conversation: "Not too high. Jimmy! You know aha that actors low. modestly. Jim- myr . My dear Irving, 'tis a masterpiece. but you shall have it for a song-let us say a thousand pounds." v 'Too much, Jimmy too much!" Whistler kept the portrait. Soon Utter. In one of those unpleasant expe riences which be shared with his great master, Rembrandt, he was sold out for debt Rembrandt was sold out only twice. The "816 un derwent three such forced sales.

After the coffee and cigars he remark ed. "Aha. my dear Jimmy, you must see my latest acqulslti6n!" aud invited him in to see his pictures, not men Uoning the fact that be had bought the portrait.

One of the most extraordinary plants In the world Is undoubtedly that known to botanists as Anastatlca; com monly called the Resurrection plant or occasionally the Rose of Jericho. It Is an annual Inhabiting the Egyp tian desert. It is so highly hygromet ric that when fully developed it con tracts Its rigid branches so as to con stitute a ball. Exposed then to the action of the wind It Is blown hither and thither toward the sea. when It la gathered and exported to Europe. If then, when apparently dead and dried up. Its root Is plunged Into wa ter, the buds swell with new life and leaves of its calyx open, the petals un fold, the dower stalk grows and the full blown flowers appear as If by ninglc. When removed from the wa ter the plant returns to Its original apparently dend condition until again placed In water; hence, its title of the Resurrection plant There are many superstitious tales concerning tbla so called rose afloat In the east. It Is said to have - first bloomed on Christmas eve and con tinued to flower till Easter, at Its birth heralding the advent of the Redeemer, and Immediately before bis departure honoring his resurrection.
