Mill** and “Th* Ang«lu»." It was only after long years of atnig gle and dire poverty, through which Millet wus consoled and supported by his wife, that the peasant painter was able to take the three roomed cottage at Barbixon and "try to do something really good.'* It was then that he begun to paint that most beautiful "poem of poverty." “The Angelus.” which is today one if the most valuable pictures in the world. Again and again be threw aside the picture in despair of ever finishing it to his satisfaction, and as often his wife replaced it on the easel and Induced him to continue. On one occasion he was so incensed at not being able to produce a certain | effect that be seized a knife and would have destroyed the canvas and ended the matter once for all had not his wife fortunately seized his hand and induced him to give the picture another trial. Thus it was that at last "The Angelus” found a place on the walls of the Louvre. The success it won encouraged Millet to paint many more pictures and thus place himself among the immortals in art. Masquerading In th* Past. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Venice set the fashion in all matters of amusement and was a sort of combination of our Monte Carlo and Paris. Throughout the eighteenth century the Venetians were seized with a perfect mania for masquerading and gambling. Paris and London followed suit, and the two most popular amusements. both public and private, were masquerades and gambling saloons. People not only wore their masks or visors at balls, but in the mall and the parks and the theaters. At length matters got to such a pass that when a police raid was made on a certain low dancing place in Soho and an order was given for every one to unmask what was the amazement of the police to find that at least a third of the company consisted of ladies and gentlemen of the highest aristocracy, some of whom had even brought their daughters.—London Saturday Review. The Judges' Ride. Customs change slowly with the lawyers, but the procession through the streets at the reopening of the law courts was not always the casual affair it now is. Until the middle of the sixteenth century the "judges' ride" to Westminster hall was quite an imposing spectacle, all the legal dignitaries being mounted on mules, like bishops and abbots on a pilgrimage. Mules presently gave place to horses, which in turn were abandoned for coaches. The last procession on horseback took place in the time of Charles 11. and was then regarded as an interesting revival. It was not greatly appreciated, however, by the judges themselves, who found their efforts to remain in the saddle far from conducive to a dignified appearance, and before the journey’s end one of their number. Lord Twisdon, bad the misfortune to be thrown in the mud.—Westminster Gazette.
