In many ways, it is said, ho was ren 1 1 j' a caricaturist. His poses were something eoodd that the picture atoned like a travesty on nature. For this reason hoexcelled iu'theatrlcal por traiture. Hut his sitters had to yield him implicit obedience, and when it failed ho refused to "take them" any more. This made even popular act resses submivsive. One of his favorite devices was to take them by surprise. "Arc you ready to do my picture?" said Mr. Iilalne, wben he had been: chatting in the jit.uiilo for some time, and, as he thought, awaiting for the instrument, "It is done," said Rairony tho snupsljot had been tired just as the sitter had reached the elliuox of a capital story.

The temperature of dining-rooms is frequently too high. H is a common thing for sonants to neglect airing the room and attending to the temperature. Probably the majority of people would namo 70 Fahrenheit tho proper heat for the room, but this ia much too high. An authority in this matter says that 60 Is none too low, and a parson who has suffered from the discomfortof an over heated room Is likely to agree with him after making a trial of different temper atures.
