HIS MASTER-PIECE.
Mrs J rianen F'tanaran Got Threo Hun-
dren und Trifty Dollar for Kleren.
This is the ago of barn-door art that
kind of art which represents a powder
horn, a rabbit mid u lot of other things
hanging against a barn door in such a
way that no one would suppose they
were painted at nil, but were really
hung there.
Over such a picture some people go
wild with joy. The naturalness of a
nail-head, or the folds in a felt hat
carry them away, and make them feel
better satished with themselves and
every thing else.
Flanagan Flanagan had painted many
a landscape, to which he conveyed the
subtle impressions made upon him by
nature. You could feel the crimson
leagues of calm in his twilight marlue
as keenly as you could the musical
rustle of his silver birches.
But so great was the rage for photo
graphic painting that Flanagan Flana
gan, In spite of hia self-respect and pro
fessional pride, felt that he would for
once have . to give the public what it
wanted, because he was in need of the
ever potent shekels of silver that en
able a man to step out into the gloam
ing through the front door, without
stumbling over the wolf.
So Flanagan Flanagan sent a canvas,
representing an old one-dollar bill
slightly crumpled, to a well-known an
nual exhibition.
The papers began to rave over it In
half-column notices." People who went
to the exhibition stood and looked at
this canvas, as they looked at no other.
"How natural the eyebrows of
Washington look," said one enthusi
astic young lady; "and the lace ou his
collar is just perfectly lovely T
"I never saw any thing like that be
fore," said abald man, who looked first
at the canvas and then at a one-dollar
bill which he held in his hand; "now
that's what I call painting."
And so it was with every one. One
would become entranced with the hair
lines, and another over the signature ot
the Secretary of the Treasury in the
lower corner.
After a while it was so much talked
about that it was considered the proper
thing to see, if only to be in fashion.
Flanagan Flanagan ran the price up
until it reached three hundred and
fifty dollars, and it was nip-and-tuck
between three bar-rooms, four prune
merchants and several capitalists to
see who should secure the prize.
There is nothing like barn-door art
for the United States of Chicago," said
Flanagan Flanagan to a brother painter
at the fifty cent table d'hote a day or
two later: "they don t want the 'Keene
Valley, or the 'Murmurous Megallo-
way,' or "Near Gloucester,' or 'Twi
light's Soothing Hush, or any thing
that breathes nature in every line.
They want pictures of beer bottles hang
ing oa antlers, or any old vest painted
in such a way that the buttons look as
though they were about to fall off.
They will go wild over a neatly painted
grease spot on the lapel, or a buckle
showing the steel throh the japan
ning. After awhile, instead of visiting
Milford or the coast of Maine in sum
mer, we shall all be making studies for
future triumphs in old junk shops and
second-hand clothing stores. The
banjo is our national instrument, and
we must paint to suit banjo people." -
"But did it not cost you a good deal
of patience?" inquired his friend.
Not bit," replied Flanagan: "it
only cost me ten dollars for the frame,
stretcher and all. The one dollar bill
was a genuine one, ingeniously stuck
on the background of gray paint. That's
how I got three hundred and fifty dol
lars for eleven. Puck.
IN CASE OF FIRE.
Bow It May H ConBaed to a Slngie Room
for Some Time.
In a lecture before the Society of
Arts, London, Mr. A. W. C Ohean
ga-e the following concise and simple
directions how to act on the occurrence
of fires. Fire requires -air; therefore
on its appearance every effort should
be made to exclude air; shut all doors
and windows. By this means fire may
be confined to a single ioom for a suffi
cient period to enable all the inmates
to be aroused and esipe; but if the
doors and windows are thtsjvs open,
the fanning of the wind ai.d draught
will instantly cause the flames to in
crease with extraordinary rapidity. In
a room a table cloth can be so used as
to smother a large sheet of flame and a
cushion may serve to beat it out; a
coat or any thing similar may be used
with an equally successful result
A wet silk handkerchief tied over
the eyes and nose will make breathing
possible in the midst of much smoke,
and a blanket wetted aud wrapped
around the body will enable a person
to pass through a sheet of flame in
comparative safety. Should a lady's
dress catch fire, let the wearer at once
lie down. Rolling may extinguish the
fire, but if not any thing (woolen pre
ferred) wrapped tightly round will ef
fect the desired purpose. A burn be
comes less painful the moment air is
excluded from it For simple burns,
oil or the white of egg can be used.
One part of carbolic acid to six parts
of olive oil is found to be invaluable in
most cases, slight oF severe, and the
first layer of lint should not be removed
till the cure is complete, but saturated
by the application of fresh outward
layers from time to time. Linen rag,
soaked in a mixture of equal parts of
lime water and linseed oil, also form a
good dressing. Common whiting is
very good, applied wet and continually
dampened with a sponge. Philadelphia

STRANGE DISCOVERIES.
Tho Tomb of Macloe ap GryflyddDtarlor, a
Grrat Welsh Warrior.
Great interest haa been excited in
North Wales by the announcement that
the tomb of Madoe ap Gryffyddmaelor,
a great Welsh warrior in the eleventh
and twelfth centuries, grandson of
Owen Gwynedd, Prince of Wales, had
been discovered in the ruins of Walle
Crucis abbey, Llangollen. Rev. II. T.
Owen, warden of the abbey, who is now
engaged upon some excavations, was
searching for old stained glass in the
dormitory, when he disinterred a large
stone slab bearing the name of Madoe
and an inscription which has not yet
been fully deciphered. Down the cen
ter of the stone is an incised sword in
sheath. Further excavations led to the
discovery of four other stones, each
about five feet by eighteen inches; two
bear fiorated crosses, one an inscribed
spear, and the other a Grecian orna
ment. The stones form part of the
vaulting of the corridor leading to the
old burial-ground of the monks. The
warrior founded the abbey, which was
a Cistercian monastery, about the year
1200. After the venerable building be
came a ruin, the chapter-houe and
scriptorium were used for several gen
erations as a farmstead, and were prac
tically destroyed by fire. During the
repairs it Is conjectured that the stones
of Madoc's tomb were used to coinpl4"
the vaulting. In 18C1 the debris cover
ing the area of the abbey was removed
by Lord Dungannou, and the tombs of
benefactors buried in front of tho high
altar, the figure of a knight in chain
armor, and a stone coffin, were laid
bare. During the excavations of last
year the monk's well and spring were
discovered. A. Y. Tribune.

SOME ROYAL' DIVORCES.
A French, an Ktig-tlsh and a Rrrman Cms
In Oar Own t'ontnry.
The ease of the unfortunato Queen
Natalie does not stand alonn in the
history of royul ladies. In our own
century there have bcen three royal
divorces, but, perhaps, the Jot of none
of them was so painful as that of the
young Queen. The first sovereign who
was divorced from his wlfo was Napo
leon I. Ho abandoned Josophlno Bonu
harnais in order to ninrry the Arch
duchess Maria Louisa, of Austria. As
thero was no real cause for the dlvorca
it w as put forward on bohalf of tho
Emperor that the marrlago was cele
brated by a Republican priest only.
and. therefore, it was not valid ac
cording to tho church of Homo. Tho
excuse was u very weak one, and, in
deed, quite absurd, as the Fope, at tho
conclusion of the concordat had given
a dispemtatio a radieo to all marriages
celebrated since 1789; but the Emper
or's wish was at tho time the supremo
law for the Episcopal consistory in
Paris, and the divorce was granted on
the payment of n certain fiao "accord
ing to tho moans" of the parties. Tho
most notorious royal divorce case lu
recent English history Is, of course,
that of Goorgo IV., of England, who
wanted to get rid of his wife, the poor
Princess Caroline, from whom he had
lived separate for many years. A bill
was introduced into Parliament for the
purpose, and was strenuously opposed
on behalf of the Queen by Henry
Brougham, afterward lortl Brougham
and Yaux, Lord Chancellor of Great
Britain, and Thomas Dcnmnn, after
ward Lord Denman. Li.;d Chief
Justice of England. What these two
counsel said against tho King would
be enough to get 300 counsel in prison
ou the continent and make judges
faint. The bill was allowed by a
small majority to bo read a second
time, but public opinion was so much
against it that the Jovernment thought
it better to withdraw it aftr the third
reading. So tho King's wish was not
carried out. and the whole scandal
was iu vain. The poor Queen died a
few weeks after her accession, but the
King never married r.gain. Crown
Prince William, of Wurtetnberg, the
father of the present King Charles, of
Wurteniberg. was compelled, in 1808,
by Napoleon I. to marry the Princesa
Caroline Augusta of Bavaria. The
maii-iaga was celebrated on June 8,
but the young couple separated the
very same day and never again saw
eai-h other. I n 1814 they were dlvoived,
and the Princess two years afterwards
married Francis I., Emperor of
Austria, and 1325 was crowned Queen
of Hungary. Pall Mall Unzcttc.

A MADMAN AT LAKGK!
He Is a well-known citizen, and his nearest
and dearest friends do cot suspect his Insanity.
How do we happen to know about It? Listen;
his appetite Is gone, he Is low-splrlted, he don-t
sleep well, he has night-sweats, he is annoyed
by a hacking cough. These symptoms are the
forerunners of consumption and death, and yet
he neglects them. Is It any wonder that we call
him a madmau? If yon are his friend tell him
to get a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Pisooverv without delay. It will cure him If he
lakes It lu time. It will not miraruously create
new lunirs when the old ones are nearly gon,
but It will restore diseased ones to a healthy
condition. TeU him about it. and warn him
that In his rase delay means death.
