Painters’ Tragedies. A Lunatic By F. A. MITCHEL A party of young men were sitting around a table In the cafe of a New York club, The subject turned on the marvelous teats thut are said to be perfornMd by the fakirs of Indiu. A number of these feats were described. eanh one nwre wonderful than the last, when Ned Garland told the following: “You’ve bit on a subject that comes very near home to me.” he said, “for one of my family was operated on by one of rlwse J nd la ns many years ago with a result that has recently made my hair curl. "During the last war with England— In 1814 or thereabouts—my ancestors lived on the family estate or farm, for that’s all It was, not half a mile from where we are now sitting. One day my great-grandfather, Timothy Gar­ land. a yuuug bridegroom, had a quar­ rel with hl« wife and told her he wish­ ed lie might not see her again In a hun­ dred yeiiha. Then he left the bouse with a bong of the door and, mounting n horse, rojje down to Fraunces' tavern, where he proceeded to get glôriously drunk. "The next day, when ile was sober, he waa beside himself with remorse and rode back home to beg Ills wife’s pardon. He found her lying in a com­ atose condition, from which It was Im­ possible to arouse her. She bad left with the servants a paper for him OU which waa written: "You hav« Wished you might not see aie again tn a hundred years. You won’t seoll was one day engag­ ed In copying''“Tlie Birth of the Vir­ gin" In the Church of the Annunciation. Florence, when an old woman •oh her way to church stopped to watch his work nnd. pointing to the central fig­ ure In the painting, said, "That Is my portrait.” At elght.v-slx she was proud to proclaim herself the widow of the Immortal artist to whom she hud given so little peuce when be was alive. Good Tempered Turtle». Place a number of different kinds and sizes of turtles tn a small space nnd the forbearance which is exhibited might well be n lesson to man. Big and little will crawl about, heedless of each other’s comfort of security from harm. A small painted terrapin, for Instance, will clamber solidly over the head of a vicious snapper, nnd the chances are that the latter will merely duck its head or move to one side so that the claws of the former will not Injure Its eyes. There seems nt such times a look of patient resignation or sullen submission, which would imme­ diately change to savage resentment nnd tierce attack If a man made a hun­ dredth part of the commotion. These creatures appear to be able to distin­ guish between “no offense meant” nnd intentional mauling. While they sub­ mit to the one, they will fight over the other. If fight has not been previously thrashed out of them.—Kansas City Star A Story of Labouchere. Labouchere’* popularity at Frnnk- fort, according to his own account ns given In “The Life of Labouchere," rested on a very simple basis. Great Britain was represented at the diet by Sir Alexander Mulct, one of the most popular chiefs to be found In the serv­ Ice. “But I was even more appreciated than my chief.” be would relate, “nnd tills Is wbv: Sometimes there was a ball nt the Aiurt. which we were ex- pecteil to attend. At my first bull sup- per I found myself next to n grandee. gorgeous la stars nnd ribbons, The servant came to pour out champagne. I shook my head, for I detest cham­ pagne. The grandee nudged me nnd snlil. ‘Let him pour It out.' This I did. nnd he explained to mo that our host never gave his guests more than one glass. ’So. yon see. if I drink yours 1 shall have two.’ After this there used to be quite n struggle to sit near me nt court suppers.” Stormed His Talking.

He adds the following nm- tlote. which seems to show that lie would have been quite nt borne in the atmosphere of assassi­ nation will' ll he believed to exist In St Petersburg: “Once In Tientsin a low fellow came Into my courtyard and told the banner captain in charge that lie Intended taking my life. lie had n long piece of wire and said he was going to hang me to my own gnte- posts, I had to have his head cut off before lie Would stop talking.” "1 was tulil by the translator that only an ludlan fakir could do the Job. lint luckily one Imd Just arrived from Koiiilaiy, and I was Informed where he was to lie found.
