Artist who sign their names to rio
tires that other men paint are quite
plentiful in this town. In a little store
on Fourth avenue, just around the cor
ner from the American Academy of De-
lign. there are aome very pretty xam
plea of water coloring for aale. The

a communicative mood the other day,
and aa he was talkiug with reporter
he picked up one of the paintings and
held it to the light for observation and
dUcnntion.
'That woman brings some very good
work in here for me to sell," said he,
"There is one peculiarity about her,
though. She always writes her signa
ture in my shop." The dealer paused
as though to be questioned.
" Why does she do that !" was asked.
"Well, I snppoee she doesn't like to

TheConl Manner In Which It Klllee, Ruaka,
lu Natural I'rwjr.
As soon as the stvretary bird, or
snake cater, of South Africa discovers
a onake, it advanree toward it without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance it immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without lining any time de
livers a blow with it foot. If the snake
has avoided the blow and attempts to
strike back, the bird interposes a wing,
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lesnly.npon the long feathers and im
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtnally over, for
if the secretary gets in a single blow
the snake's back is broken, and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly ou
the reptile's nook and head, preesing
them iuto the ground, while it delivers
the conn do grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving it an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about the
secretary bird's appetite, for one writer
says he found inside ono three serpents

Sometimes an artist signs more than
one name to his own work. This hap
pens every day on some of the illustrat
ed weeklies published for Broadway
circulation. The publisher doesn't like
to see one man's name signed to every
cartoon or full page picture. He does
not want it known that his staff of art- '
tsts is so small. Not long ago one of
the cleverest of the illustrators used to
sign his own name to the big two page
picture in the middle of the periodical
and a nam de plume to the first page
drawing every week. In a little while
he began to receive tetters addressed to
the assumed name, giving orders for
work aud fnll of compliments. He had
built np a reputation for the mythical
artist which he could not get for him- .
self. His pride was hurt, but he swal
lowed the humiliation and proceeded
to increase the fame and the revenue
of his ghost.
A New Vork artist who draws for the
pictorial weeklies tells a story of his
experience in England at a time when
all the publishers were demanding
French illustrators and bad no nse for
native talent. This particular artist
knew that be could cut corsages as low ,
and skirts as high as any Frenchman ,
that ever lived. He had spent several
vacations and lots of hard earned mon
ey in seeing the particular side of Pa-
risian life that the publishers were bowl- '
tng for at that particular time. I
He assumed a very Frenchy name, I
wrote in that language altogether and '
submitted his sketches, which already
out-Frenched the Frenchmen in their i
Danghtinet He made a big hit. his '
mail orders were numerous, and for '
many months be enjoyed a lucrative in- 1
come nnder bis title of De Conlansci
or whatever it was. while all the other .
English illustrators were drawing tor
the religious weeklies, which cannot
afford to pay half as big prices to tbeii ;
artist as their more wicked and per- 1
haps more interesting contemporaries. .'
In the window of a picture store in 1
Harlem there were exposed for sale nut 1
long ago two small canvases with the
magic name of Corot in the corner. The
price of each was 250. Now, a genu
ine Corot is worth anywhere from 1 1,
0U0 np. Was it a mistake or an at
tempt at swindling? The pictures were

cape authorities for the immense public
benefit it confers in eating poisonous
snakes, and a penalty is attached by
law to its destruction. And if it were
necessary hundreds of eyewitnesses
could be called to prove its right to the
title of serpentarins. Curiously enough,
too, this bird may be trained, and is
trained, to protect poultry yards, not
only from snakes, which are too fond of
eggs, but from other birds of prey. St.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes aud catastrophes. Wars
and fends and frauds, would seem to re
main the staple of the human record.
But be it remembtred that, for obvions
reasons, all our worst ar 'darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in a medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi
ness and innocent living joy by tbe dai
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex
ceptions to it. As for sins the most se
rious of which are only such as are
malicious though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had 87,668 "habituals" in 1869 ;
now tbe evil roll is only 33,153.
When the populaiton of England was
. 19,257.000 in 1869. there were 2,589
i persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with a population of 27,830,179,
the number is nly 947. In 1873 the en
tire number of prisoners in our jails
was 20,833; the entire number at the
same date last year was 12,663, thoi i
the population bad increased by 6,00u,
000. Pauperism is also declining, fa
1870, 1.079,391 persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1891, with an addition of
more than 7,000,000 inhabitants, there
were only 774,905. The upshot of these
figures without pressing them too
much seems surely to be that the "cos
mic process" in our own little corner of
the universe is not doing so badly. Sir
Edwin Arnold in Longman's Magazine.
