THB STORY OP A PORTRAIT.

Utrw the Painting Wm BcwmI Vnm Ignominious Vkte,

Probably Chicago's first painting with history was an excellent portrait of rati of her fairest citizens—a belle of 1887. 'Pine work as It was, however, at one fchne there was imminent danger of its becoming a decorative signboard of a prominent local .livery stable.

Long before the days of the iron hors* a wandering artist strayed along what IB now the comer of Lake and Clark «treets, and there opened a stadia Among the early patrons of his brush was a dazzling creature who yearned to have her beauty perpetuated upon pan-

The artist had a fine subject Needlere to say he rendered it full justice. WJgn the canvas was finished, the impressive ensemble \fras placed upon exhibition in the artist's studio, and everybody who was anybody dropped in and lavished bis admiration upon it After novolty of the display wore -off. People had seen all they wanted of it, but the fair equestrienne's portrait

THE LODGE."

The Origin of Billiards.

In a letter dated 1750, which has been presented to the Bibliotheqne National® Paris, a highly ingenious account is given of the origin of billiards. The writer declares that billiards were in vented in England about the middle of the sixteenth century by a pawnbroker named Bill Kew. This man, it is al leged, used in his leisure moments to play on his counter with tho three brass balls which ho hung up as a sign. For a cuS he had a yard measure, whence the term bill-yard, or Bill's yard, corrupted into billiards. This etymology will hardly satisfy Mr. Skeat, but it is at least curious as showing to what length the speculative etymologist is apt to go. The most astonishing thing about it, however, is tho fact that it is the work of a Frenchman, who might have seen at a glance that trilliardH is merely a corruption of his own word "billiard, from "bille, a ball, the termination ard" being perfectly regular and natural in the composition of a word intended to designate the table upon which the balls are used.—London Telegraph

California Redwoods.

Wifh the character and extent of California mountain forests most persons are tolerably familiar, as a large portion of them can be seen from the great interior valleys, the traveler also grfO» ting a glimpse of thorn when crossing over the Sierra by rail But about the redwood lands situated far from the main lines of trsvol and difficult of approach few persons have much accurate information, and yet tho tree growth here presents nioro that is calculated to interest and attract even the unscientific mind than anything found on the mountains, save only the few scattered groves of tho Seqnoia gigantea, our wonderful "big trees." With the exception of tho latter, tho average size of tho redwood, the Seqnoia setmpervirens, greatly exceeds that of any other class of thq conifers, the quantity of lumber they turn out to the acre being without any parallel elsewhere. The total product of tho redwood forests of California amounts to about 35,0000,000 feet per year.—Wood and Iron.
