HOODI RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1906. DESTRUCTIVE ARTISTS. the Hulu They Wrought While Smurlliitr I'nder Crltlclaai. By no menu unusual was the de struction of tin! Korglum angels In th Cutliedrnl of St. John the Divine by the sculptor himself while smarting undei the criticism that there were no male angels shown. Gerome, the famous French sculptor, had been working for weeks on the clay model of a group representing Spring, It had almost reached completion when the artist beearue convinced that the treatment? was wrong, and In a minute ho had beaten the entire group Into a shapeless muss of dump clay. Hogarth destroyed a picture which had been somewhat severely criticised by one of his friends, but the most spec tacular destruction la related of Char tran, who for a time had a studio Id New York, lie was visited by the hus band of an American woman whose portrait he was painting, $5,000 being the agreed price. The husband, while admitting It to bo a splendid work of art, declared that ho could see abso lutely no likeness to his wife In the pic tured face. Clmrtrau laid down his brush and, taking out bis penknife, silt the canvas Into ribbons, after which he bowed his critic out. It afterward de veloped that the man was disparaging the portrult merely In the hope of ob taining a reduction In the price. ERRORS OF SPEECH. Common Almae of the Verba to Get, to Lay and to Lie. The verb to get Is one of our much misused words. It means to acquire, win, obtain, and primarily it signifies the putting forth of effort to attain something. Consequently it Is not only superfluous, but Incorrect, to speak of a man as "getting drowned" or "get ting sick," and you may unfortunately "have a cold," but It is impossible that you "have got a cold." At tills mo ment no exceptions occur to the writer to the. rulo that got should never be used in connection with have, which alone sulliclently expresses possession. Say "I have the picture," not "I have got the picture." "The dog hag a broken leg," not "The dog has got a broken leg". The irregular verbs lay and lie are frequently confounded. Lay is an ac tive or transitive verb, and lie Is pas sive or Intransitive. We lay things down or have laid them down, but we and things lio ut rest. Tou He down, have lain down, will He down or are lying down; she lay down yesterday and is going to lio down this afternoon. A frequent error Is to confound the past tenses of these verbs. One should say, "Mary laid the book on the table and lay down herself," but the book lies on the table. THE STOMACH. How It In Affected bjr the I'M ol Mlxrd Fatty Fooda. The stou-ach never has the least pow er of digesting true fat. Tills is dis posed of in the Intestines. When eat en in the ordinary forms, as fat meat, butter, etc., the fat separates out In the stomach and does not In the least Interfere with the work of the gastric juice on the other food, but when a nonfatly food has been intimately mix ed with grease the latter prevents the gastric Juice getting at the food it could digest. I'lsh fried in oil or but ter Is by no means the most marked example, as the fat does not penetrate very deeply, rotators mashed with butter are rather worse, and minced vegetables fried with butter are bad offenders. The reason advanced ex plains why pork is difficult of diges tion. The muscular fibers' are mixed up with fat cells, and by the liberation of the oil in o'icti tiny cell the eaten pork Is in n. I Into an oily paste. A very strong stomach will dj the work required. Uu it is not a fair task to Impose frequently, and a weak stom ach will rei'u-e to do anything beyond reminding lis owner by a few stabs th.it It will not stand such treatment. AVi'lit'r' I'orlrnlt. Iianiel Wclisler once sat for his por rtait to (',. V. Ilealy, and the senator's remark when he surveyed the complet ed picture became one of the artist's favorite anecdotes in after years. "I think," said Vebter as he looked at his counterfeit vre-entineut, "that Is a face I have often shaved." Ilealy found Andrew Jackson a disagreeable and unwilling "subject," and he compensat ed himself by painting Old Hickory with absolute fidelity to nature, not glossing a single defect. The portrait gives Jackson an ugly, savage and pal lid face. " i ,3apoleon'a Polon. A curious detail of Napoleon Bona parte's costume was the religious caro with which he kept hung around his neck the little leather envelope, shaped like a heart, which contained poison that was to liberate him In ease of Ir retrievable reverses of fortune. Tills polsou was prepared after a recipe that Cabanals lad given to Corvlsart, and after the yerr 1S08 the emperor never undertook a campaign without having his little packet of poison. He W Tender. "Young Mr. Softy paralyzed Dr. Sim ton when he went to be vaccinated," observed Guswell to Dukane. "IIow was that?" "He asked the doctor to put him un der the Influence of anaesthetics." A Fnrnlghted Ctrl. "I will work night and day to make yon happy." be said. "No," she answered . thoughtfully, "don'filo that. Just work during the day and stay at home at night" Patting yourself ou the back is a dif ficult task seldom done gracefully. Stone In the Heart. A Greek woman employed in the American hospital In Caesarea, Turkey, was stirred by a revival. She straight way asked' leave to visit a woman whom she hadinjured and to whom she had not spoken for ten years. When she trudged through the snow three or four-miles to ask her "enemy's" for giveness her relatives were sure she had gone daft, but the next day, when she came back to the hospital, she said, "We made pence, and the stone In my heart Is gone." NATURE'S CRUELTY. l"he Ichneumon Fir Makea Ita nat ural Kuriu y Serve Mr. Purpoae. The iehnemnou fly of Ceylon is the natural enemy of the spider. Tills lp sect is green in color, and in form re sembles a wasp with a marvelously thin waist It makes Its nest of well worked clay and theu goes on a hunt ing expedition. Its victims are in variably spiders of various kinds, but all are subject to the same mode of treatment A scientific sting Injects some poison which effectually paralyzes the luckless spider, which Is then carried off to the nest and there fastened with a dab of moist clay. Another and an other victim is brought to this chamber Of horrors. Then the prescient mother Ichneumon fly proceeds to deposit her eggs, one In the body of each spider, which can Just move Its legs in a vague, aimless manner, but can offer no re sistance. This done, the fly returns to her work as a mason. She prepares more clay and builds up the entrance to this ghastly cell. Then she commences a new cell, which she furnishes in like manner and then closes; then she adds yet another cell and so proceeds until her store of eggs are all provided for, and, her task In life being accomplished, she dies, leaving her evil brood to hatch at leisure. In due time these horrid lit tle maggots come to life and find them selves cradled In a larder of fresh meat Each poor spider Is still alive, and his Juices afford nutriment for the Ichneu mon grub till It Is ready to pass in the chrysalis stage, thence to emerge as a winged fly fully prepared to carry out the traditions of its ancestors with re gard to spider.). ANTIQUITY OF FISHING. The Art of AiikIIiik la aa Old aa the llnninn Itaee. The art of angling no doubt had Its origin In man's necessities. The earli est record of mankind makes reference to the taking of fish for food. There are frequent allusions to It In the Bible. Job, In the oldest book of all, says: "Canst thou draw out n leviathan with a hook or bis tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? Canst thou put a book In his nose?" Homer, In the "Iliad," speaks of fishing In these lines: As tiparlns death In the fallacious bait, From the bent niiRle sinks the leaden weight. And It Is recorded in the "Odyssey:" As when the angler, hla long rod In hand. On a projecting rook assumes hla stand, Casts to the fiery fry the baited anare, Then flings the wriggling captives In the air. The Itomans, Greeks and other races of early days around the Mediterranean practiced the art of angling, riutarch tells of a prank played by the fair Egyptian, Cleopatra, while out fishing with Antony, "They wagered on their angling, and her divers did hang a salt fish on his hook, which he with fervor drew up." The ruined walls of Ilereulaneum and Tompeli abound in frescoes of fishermen. All along the track of his tory are found traces of this gentle recreation, showing the gradual im provement from the hook of bone and rude equipment of the cave man to the elegant accessories and belongings of the modern angler. Apple Care For Drnnkarde. "For ten years," said a physician, "I have advocated apples as a cure for drunkenness. In that time I have tried the apple cure on some forty or fifty drunkards, and my success has been most gratifying. "Let any man afflicted with the love of drink eat three or more apples dally, and the horrible craving will gradually leave him. The cure will be greatly helped along if he also smokes as little as possible. "I know a woman who cured a drunk en husband without his knowledge by keeping always a plentiful supply of good apples on the dining table. The man ate these apples and finally stop ped drinking altogether." Philadelphia Bulletin. Prat'tleal Bye Waah. A little salt and water used as an eye wash will cleanse and strengthen In flamed lushes and rest tired eyes. It is safe to use It at any time that Irrita tion Is felt. A New York surgeon pre scribes the ocean for bad eyes, partie ularly young eyes. "Get off," he says "whenever you can nud let the salt and the sea bree.e wash and blow around your eyes. It will do them good. It will dislodge the germs or disease, for the air breathed by half the world Is germ laden, and sore eyes are more quickly caught than small pox and more fatal. It will brighten and strengthen them and prolong their beauty and usefulness." The LnnKhlnor Owl. One of the most fantastic of birds is tho laughing owl of Florida and some other southern parts. He sits well up In a tree at night and emits a series of loud, strange ha-ha's that sound like half human laughter. The sound Is sufficiently terrifying to a nervous tamper unacquainted with the habit of the bird, though less grewsome than the unearthly call of the Chtwapeake loon heard at all hours of the night along the shores of that bay. New York Telegram. Fair- Sturlea. Mr. Bacon When a woman tells a fairy story she always begins like this: "Once upon a time." Mrs. Bacon Yes, and when a man tells a fairy story he always begins like this: "There now, dear, don't be aDgry with me; you see, it was like th!s."-Yonkers Statesman. A man fifty years of age has In or dinary cases undressed himself 18,20 times and of course dressed himself just as many. Not So Reaonrceful aa Moat Glrla.
