JAPANESE PATIENCE.
A Strong Man' Challenge to an Artist
and the Result.
Muruyama Okyo was the founder of
the naturalistic school of Japanese
painting. He was born in 1733 and
died In 1795. . In the International
Studio Mr. Hiirad Jiro tells this story
about Okyo:
Tanlkazo Kajlmosuke was a cham
pion wrestler. One day be called on
Maruyama Okyo and proposed a trial
of strength, each according to his own
line of pursuit. Ho would show the
greatest feat he was capable of by bis
physical strength, and Okyo would
Bhow his by his ability to paint Okyo
agreed. Tho next morning he was
awakened by the sound of something
falling outside the door of his house.
Ho opened the door and found Tanl
kazo standing by a rock large enough
to tax tlio strength of n dozen ordi
nary men. Ho had brought it, without
resting, all the way from Mount Ku-
rama, many miles distant.
Now It was Olcyo's turn. He gavo
lessons to bis pupils as usual, but
spent every available minute In bis
private atelier, working very far Into
the night. Tanlkazo called four or
five times, but was told that tho paint
ing was not yet ready, f
At last, after four months had pass
ed, tho wrestler said to tho painter,
"If you cannot show mo your work
today I think it Is only fair to consider
myself as the winner of tho contest.
I came here today prepared to take tho
rock back to the mountain."
"I have finished the work," answer
ed Okyo, .with a smile. And ho pre
sented to Tanikazo a roll of silk. Tanl
kazo slowly unrolled it it was seven
feet long and looked at it Iu amaze
ment. "Tins this taken you four
mouths to paint?" he asked. "Does
this represent your greatest skill?"
His surprise was not altogether un
justified, for the artist hud painted
nothing except a stringed bow lu its
actual size. Then Okyo calmly ex
plained the matter as follows:
"This is a picture of the bow you re
ceived from the emperor when you
had the honor of wrestling iu tho pal
ace grounds. The greatest achieve
ment in it is the drawing of this cord.
To draw a straight lino over six feet
long without anything for a guide is
by no means uu easy task. Just as
you brought the rock from tho moun
tain without resting, so I have drawn
this lino with a single stroke of tho
brush. Many a time in my attempts
tho line faltered or tho ink gave out
before the line was finished. I have
experienced with the brush a hardship
such as you encountered with the rock
on your way from Kurunia. Come
and see the proof."
So saying he led Tanlkazo to his
atelier and emptied a large box full of
papers and rolls of silk that ho had
spoiled iu his endeavor to draw in a
single sweep of the brush a straight
line over six feet in length. Tanlkazo
was thoroughly convinced, no raised
the drawing to his brow In token ot
gratitude and left Okyo, promising
that ho would treasure it and hand It
down to his posterity and praising tlio
artist for his perseverance and stead
fastness of purpose.
The Roman Forum.
Tho Forum was originally a market
place and only by degrees became the
center of Roman civic and political life.
About 15. C. 470 it became tho place of
assembly of the people In their tribes
and was gradually adorned with tem
ples and other great public buildings.
The Roman forum the Acropolis at
Athens alone excepted is perhaps tho
most thrillingly interesting spot on
earth to such as kuow and appreclato
tlio teachings of history. From the i
forum came tho august laws which
governed the then known world for
more than a thousand years.
CHINESE PUNICSIMENTS.
Flogging Is Common, and Rank Does
Not Protect an Offender.
Chinese lawgUers are not troubled
with any seiiliD:vnUil scruples on the
BUbjcct of flogging. Even a criminal
condemned to dealh Is given a f rellm
Inary thrashing instead i.f, as with us,
being treated with sympathy and con
sideration until the hour of doom. An
other feature of Chinese Justice, so far
as the lash Is conccrued, is its strict
Impartiality.
Hlgbbprn offenders nre flo;;god as re-
leiiflcssly as crTitifhaVs of tholdwor or
ders. The back of many a silken robed
digultary bus been scored with the
leather thongs of tho whips wielded by
sturdy Chinese officials, whose duty it
has been to lay on the lash heavily, re
gardless of the rank of the victim, on
Kiln of being Hogged themselves.
Tho Chinese legal code prescribes the
lash for many offenses so trivial that hi
Europe they would be quite outside the
scope of tho law. Not all of tho enact
ments are enforced nowadays, but we
may quote two of them as quaint ex
amples. Fifty lashes were ordered to
be glvcu to any merchant or trades,
niau offering for sale goods not of the
quality thjey are represented to bo,
while self glorification is discouraged
by a law that any military uiau who
raises a monument to himself for
deeds of heroism which he has never
performed Is to receive 100 lashes. '

HANGING PICTURES.
This la a Task That Should Produce
Artistio Results.
In Rolng over one's pictures elimi
nate all but the choicest and best be
loved and try to group together the
pictures whose subjects are somewhat
related or which have a similarity in
frames. Indeed, even when subjects
are closely related it is not possible al
ways to hang pictures together owing
to a too great difference iu the kind of
frames. As' a rule, any room looks
better, especially small rooms, where
only one color frame Is used on all pic
tures, but If this is not possible then
the next best thing Is to keep all of
tho pictures In gilt frames in one part
of the room, all of tho dark framed
pictures on another wall, etc.
Also one cau get tho best results by
separating water colors and prints,
and etchings or engravings should, of
course, always be hung apart from
other pictures. Another point frequent
ly overlooked Is the wisdom of putting
the darker pictures on tho wall that
receives the best light from' windows
and contrariwise the gilt framed pic
tures of lighter subjects wliero they
may serve to brighten a dark part of
the room.
Finally do not crowd the walls. Hang
pictures well lu line with the eyes of a
person of average height and, of course,
choose plain walls, tinted or papered,
for backgrounds. Albany Argus,
How He Took It.
"In training," said an Instructor In
athletics, "the strictest obedience is re
quired. Whenever I think of the the
ory of training I think of Dash, who,
after cighteeu years of married life. Is
one of the best and happiest husbnuds
In the world.
" 'Dash,' I once said to htm. 'well,
Dash, old man, how do you take mar
ried life?'

The clans of Scotland are generally
Understood to have arisen about the
year 100S. during tho reign of, Kins
Malcolm II. The legal power of the
chiefs and the other remains of herit
able jurisdiction were abolished In
Scotland about 1710.
