THAT HCTUHR During Bv or six year Marcel bad Worked at that famous painting which be affirmed should ropnoont the cross ing of the Red aoa, and for five or six yeara this masterpiece of color had bwn obstinately refnsod by the jury at the annual Baton. So, from force of habit in going and coming Bo often from the studio to the iiusee and from the innsee to the stadia, the picture knew the road so well that, if one hud set it on wheels, it would have been able to go all alone to tbe Lonvre. Marcel, who hnd ten times repainted auJ rearranged this canvas from top to bottom, attributed to a personal hostil ity of the members of the jnry against himself the ostracism which rejected it annually from the Square salon, and in his idle liniments he had com posed in honor of the Cerberusos of the institute a little dictionary of corses with some illustrations of a savage fe rocity. This collection, which had be come celebrated, had obtained in the studios and at the School cf the Fine Arts the popnlur success which is at tached to the immortal complaint of Jean Belin, painter in ordinary to the grand saltan of Turkey. All the daub ers of Paris had a copy of it in their memory. For a long time Marcel was not dis couraged by the determined rejections which be received at each annual ex hibitions He was comfortably settled in the opinion that his picture was, in its If ast proportions, the long sought for peudant to the "Marriage Feast at Cana." that gipantic masterpiece whose brilliant splendor the dust of three cen- furies has not been able to tarnish. So, every year at the epoch of the salon. Marcel sent his picture to be examined ly the jury. Only in order to throw the examiners off the sc?ut and to try to baffle them in their preconceived de termination to exclude it, which preju dice they seemed to have against the "Crossing of the Red Sea" v. ithout changing anything in the general com position of the painting, he modified certain details and changed the title of fats picture. Thus, one year it came before the jury under the name of "The Crossing of the Rubicon." But Pha- raoh, badly disguised under Cspsar'a mantle, was instantly recognized and re jected with ail the honors due him. The following year Marcel threw npon the foreground of his canvas a lay er of white paint to represent snow, planted a tree in one corner, and dress ing op an Egyptiaa in the uniform of the imperial guard of France he bap tized his picture "The Crossing of the Beresina. " The jury, which had rub bed up its spectacles that day upon the tails of its green palmed coats on official occasions the members of the institute wi nr dress coats having green palm embroidered on the lapels and collars was not doped by t'ns new ruse. It recognized perfectly the obsti nate canvas, especially by a big devil of a many colored horse that pranced about on top of a wave of the ited sea. The dressing of this hoise served Mar cel for nil his experiments in coloring, and in bis everyday speech he called it "synoptical tableau of fine tones," be cause it reproduced all the most varied combinations of color with tb;ir plays of light and shade. But once more, unmoved by this fine detail, the jury bad not black balls enough to fully ex press their feelings in rejecting "The Crossing of the Beresina." " Very well, ' said Marcel, " I'll waitl Next year I shall send it again under the title of the 'Passage des Panora mas. " A few days later, and when Macrel had already forgotten terrible threats of vengeance be bad uttered against bis persecutors, be received a visit from Father Medicis. Thus the bohemians bad nicknamed a Jew named Solomon, who at that epoch was well known to all members of artistic and literary Bo- I hernia, with whom be was in perpetual relations. Pere Medicis did business in all sorts of bric-a-brac. He sold com plete seta of furniture at from 12 francs npto 8,000. He bonght everything and knew how to sell it again at a profit. The exchange bank of M. Proudhon was a very little affair compared to the yatem applied by Medicis, who pos sessed the genius of traffic to a degree sever before attained by even the most able of bis fellow believers. His shop, which was situated in the Place da Carrousel, was a fairyland where one found everything to be desired. All the products of nature, all the creations of art, all that comes forth from the bowels of the earth andol genius, Med icis made of it an object of negotiation. His business touched everything, ab solutely everything that exists; he dealt even in the ideal. Medicis bought ideas in order to exploit them himself or to sell them . again. Known to all the litterateurs and all the artists, an intimate of 'the palette and a familiar friend of the writing desk, he was the Asmodeu8 of the art. He would sell you some cigars for tbe plot of a novel, some slippers for a sonnet, some fresh fish for paradoxes; he chatted "by the hour" with writers whose business it was to relate In the newspapers tbe scandal of society; he would procure you places in the galleries of the house of parliament and invitations to private oirees; be lodged by the night, the week or the month the wandering daub ers who paid bim in copies of tbe work of Flavius Josephus. On entering tbe home of the bohe mians, with that intelligent air which I distinguished him, the Jew divined that ho had arrived at a propitious mo ment. In fact, the four friend found themselves at that moment met In coun cil and under the presidency of a fero cious appetite they were discussing tho grave question of bread and meat It was on a Sunday, and the end of the month! Fatal day and sinister unto! The entrance of Medicis was therefore greeted with a joyous chorus, for they knew that the Jew was too miserly of bis time to spend it in visits of more politeness. Therefore his presence al ways announced an affair ot business. "M. Marcel," said Medicis, "I have come here solely to make your fortune. That is to say, I've wine to offer yon mperb chance to enter the artistic world. Art, as you well know, M. Marcel, it an arid road of which glory is the oasis." "Pere Medicis," said Marcel, on tho hot coals of iuipatieucM, "iu the name of 60 per cent, you venerated patron saint, be brief!" "This is the affair," said Medicis. "A wealthy lover of paintings who is making collection of pictures destined to make the tour of Europe has order ed me to procure for bim series of re markable works. I have come to offer you an entrance into that gallery of art In a word, 1 have come to buy your 'Crossing of the Red Sea.' " "Cash?" Mid Marcel. "Cash," responded the Jew. making the orchestra in his breeches pocket play a lively tune. "Go on, Medicis," said Marcel, dis playing his painting. "I wish to leave to yourself the honor of fixing the price of this work, which is beyond all price." Tbe Jew placed on the table 60 crowns in beautiful new silver pieces. "Go on, " said Marcel ; "that is only tbe advance guard." "M. Marcel," said Medicis, "yon well know I shall add nothing. Reflect! Fifty crowns. That makes 150 francs. That's a sum, that is!" "A feeble sum," replied the artist. " Why, know that my first word is al ways my last, merely in tbe robe of my Pharaoh there are 50 crowns' worth of cobalt. Pay me at least the material. Equalize those piles, round up tbe fig ures, and I will call yon Leo X." "Heie's my last word," said the Jew. "I'll not add a sou more, but I offer a dinner to all of you, various wines at your cwn discretion, and at the dessert I'll pay in gold." "Does any gentleman wish to make any farther bid?" yelled Colline, rap ping three times with bis fist on tbe table. "Going, going, gone!" "Agreed," said Marcel. "1 will send for the picture tomor row." said the Jew. "Now lot us Btart, gentlemen; the table is laid." The four friends descended the stairs, singing the chorus from "Les Hugue nots," "A table, a table!" Eight days after that feast Marcel learned in what gallery his picture had taken its place. While walking throngh tbe Faubourg Saint Honore he stopped in the midst of a group that was gaz ing with curiosity at the banging of a sign over a shop. That sigxt was none otber than Marcel's famous picture, sold by Medicis to a dealer in provi sions. Only, the "Crossing of the Red Sea" bad once more suffered a modifi cation and bore a new title. Some one had added to it a steamboat and bad called it, "At the Port of Marseilles." A flattering ovation arose among the loungers when they discovered the painting. So Marcel turned away, de lighted by this triumph, and murmur ed, "The voiceof the people is tbe voice of God!" Boston Tramnrfpt. Politonea Paya. "I have often Leard my nucle," said the nephew of a noted lawyer who died lately, "dwell npon the fact that he owed ranch of bis success in life to a habit of invariable politeness, without any elemrat of todyism, Vbich bad been instilled into his nature by the teachings of a wise mother. His first start in his profession came tbrongb an old scmbwomun who was employed about tbe house where be boarded when a young man. One morning he passed out as she was scrubbing tbe front steps, and be saluted her politely, as usual. She stopped him. "They tell me ye are a lawyer,' she said. 'Yes.' 'Well, I know a poor widdy woman that wants a lawyer, and if you will give me your address I'll tell her.' The 'poor widdy' proved to be the chief heir to a large estate in Delaware coun ty. My uncle became her attorney and trustee of ber children, recovered her interest in the estate and derived a good income from its management for many years." Philadelphia Record. Roaming Chinese Tribe. In the plnins on the western borders of the Chinese empire, in the very heart of Asia, there live roaming tribes who seldom visit towns, except it may be in the way of trade. They dwell in tents which they pitch wherever they may happen for the moment to be wan dering or working. The tont used by some of the- roving Mongolian folk is made of felt and is usually low, small and pointed toward tbe top. Tbe wood en door frame is no higher than half a window frame in our bouses, but the tent, although not equal to tbe wants of a large family, is snug and comfortable enough in summer, but cold in winter.

New York Letter. SOME OLD TIME GAMES. Many of the 1'reseut Day Rports Were Hor ruwel from tho l'a.t. It is crtrlous to noto liow some of tin games of the early ages have been hand ed down to the present time, Tho game, for instance, known to most of us a odd and even was also a favorite with the young Egyptian, and many of the little counters that he used are still preserved iu tho British inuseutn. There is also tho game of drafts, which was played on a checkered board in the earli est times. Tho jmor children were con tent with draftsmen and boxes made of tough pieces of clay, but the richer ones usually bad beautifully carved iron headed draftsmen and boxes. The young Greeks, too, were well provided with toys and garni for their amusement. The toys were chiefly dolls in ado of baked clay, the anus and leg being jointed with string, and there fore movable, They had a favorite gntua called Chytriand, which hits been pre-- served through many ages, and is now played by boy of today under the well known name of puss in the corner. In France tho game is called q mitre coins, or four corners. Both iu the old ennui and in the modern version five players are required, one occupying each of the comers, while the fifth player stand iu the middle. In ancient Greece he wore an earthen pipkiu ou his head and was called pot; in France at the pres ent day he is the uigimd, or simpleton, aud by us is called puss. To guess the number of fingers anoth er held np whs also a favorito amuse ment, und this, too, is frequently play ed at the present time. So yon see how carefully the character of tbe amuse ments and the playthings of the very early ages ha beeu maintained in the toys and games iu use today. New castle Chrouicle. Sara tha Forwt. Some years nfo the government of Bavaria sent a skilled forester to study the conditions of timber growth iu the United States. While here he made the remark, as if speaking of a matter gen erally known and accepted: "In 50 years you will have to import your timber, and as yon will probably prefer American kinds we shall begin to grow them, in order to be ready to send them to you at the proper time. " What an instance of scientific fore thought, and withal what a warning! Perhaps it is not yet too late to grow on our own lands the timber we shall need a generation or two hence, bnt if we are to do so it is time to take rigor ous steps to stop reckless forest destruc tion and to encourage scientific cultiva tion. While our government sells ontright its forest lands for 3. 50 an acre, France obtains almost exactly the same sum yearly from each acre of its forest land by sales of timber. We spend our cap ital; France makes an income, and safeguards its capital. Palissy, the famous French potter, who was wise in other things as well as in porcelain, declared that the neg lect of lorests in bis day was "not a mistake, but a calamity and a enrse for Fiance." That country has since learned the lesson. When will ours follow its example? Youth's Compan ion. Cotton Gin. Some recent improvements in cotton gins are cluimed to insure much greut- i er economy and efficiency than have hitherto been attained, tbe difficulty be ing now overcome of obtaining the full length of tbe various staples on account of tbe machinery in use tearing the lint before the parting of the entire length of tbe filler from the rollers. As now improved, tbe machine is so constructed as to allow all changes for- meeting these various lengtbs in staples to be made without even having to stop the operator from his work, whereas the gin now in use not only necessitates tbe stopping of the macbino, but requires a great amount of time in which to effect tbe change. Another improvement in this machine is an appliance in connec tion with the inner blade, consisting of a spring which allows it to give when the pressure of cotton passing through the roller is too severe, thus preventing tbe inner and outer blades from coming in contact with each other. The great wear of tbe roller is by this means saved, New York Sun. Mickey and Con. A book minded scion of the Verdant Isle was seeking intellectual food at the public library and could not quite make up bis mind as to the particular literary repast be wished to make. In bis hesitation he wandered over to the case where the freshest volumes of the library's store are displayed for the stimulation of mental appetites. Here be saw a book whose title satisfied him that be hud found just the thing be wanted. It was"Micah Clarke," by Dr, A. Conan Doyle. Approaching the attendant, be said: "Please gimme 'Mickey Clarke,' by Con Doyle, out of tbat cupboard." He got tbe book, but the expression on his face when be came back with it 10 minutes later proved that ha bad mistaken tbe nationality of bis hero. Boston Herald. Cheerfnlnea. That cheerfulness can be cultivated is well illustrated by tbe story of a lady and gentleman who were in a timber yard, situated by a dirty, foul smelling river. Tbe lady said, "How good tbe pine boards smelll" "Pine boards!" exclaimed the gentle man. "Just smell this foul river!" "No, thank you," tbe lady replied. "I prefor to smell the pine boards."
