ENEFELDER’S DISCOVERY.

the Great Value of Lithography In the World of Modern Art. The full significance of Senefelder’s great discovery, just 100 years ago, was not so much that a calcareous stone may be bitten by a weak solution of acid, so that the raised portion when greased (the surrounding parts being wet) may print in a press like a wood cut—though with a scraping, not a direct downward, pressure—but it consisted.in the demonstration, in the first places that prints from its surface may be reduplicated in vast numbers without visible deterioration, and in the second, and still more important, that each such print is practically an original. Nay, more than this. As M. H. P. Dillon reminds me in a panegyric on his favorite art, the greatest merit of this method of preserving and indefinitely multiplying a drawing lies in the escape of the artist from the traduttore traditore—from misrepresentations by engraver or by camera. Indeed, when the artist has made his design upon the stone itself, each '■impression from it is as mnoh the original as each and every photographic print taken from a negative is an original and not a copy of any other thing. Even when the artist has drawn npon transfer paper instead of oh the stone (proceeding for convenience sake, which, in the opinion of some purists, is held in a measure to invalidate th# name of lithography as applied to it, though not thereby reflecting in any degree on the beauty of the work itself), the impressions taken are still originals, inasmuch as theaotual work, the artist’s own lines and dots, have in due course been transferred bodily by mechanical pressure to the surface of the stone, and this, after it has been inked and printed from, renders each proof then taken of equal excellence. And the point of it all is this, that until the stone is inked and a print taken the artist’s work is not oomplete; so that every print does really become a genuine original. —M. H. Spielmaun in Scribner’s. Since confidence has been re" stored and McKinley prosperity s abroad in the land it looks so mighty “quare” to see farmers hauling their corn to the elevator for 18 centk per bushel. “Oodles and gobs” of goddy in the pot gentlemen republican farmers, dip in with your golden spoons and get your everlasting .« i milv k

GENIUS OR INSANITY

THE FADS AND PECULIARITIES OF WRITERS AND COMPOSERS. Innumerable Ways of Supplying Mental Stimulus—Trifling Manias That Lornbroso Incorrectly Regards as Mental Aberrations. It is not an easy matter to try to draw the frontier line of insanity. Although certain psychologists, basing their opinion on the physical anomalies and eccentricities of mind observed in men of genius, claim, with apparent reason, that genius and insanity are the same thing, it is going to excess to consider writers and artists insane in whom queer traits and little manias appear. In this respect Lombroso and his disciples have gone too far, their tendency being to make no distinction between genins and talent. Genius is an anomaly, but an anomaly that the whole world is satisfied to admire. It is constituted by the exaggerated development of a single faculty, usually at the expense of the others. This is the cause of the imperfections of these brilliant meteors and the explanation of their degeneracy on other points. Essentially spontaneous and original genius is a natural phenomenon that we cannot explain, although it is unquestionably the result of natural causes. Talent is different. It is the fruit of work and sustained application, and it can bo acquired and developed at any time. At the present da& for instance, there are few men of genius among painters, and yet they almost all have talent. The consequence is that the greater number of the paintings in our exhibitions are pleasing to us, although no exceptional work fills us with admiration and reveals a painter of genius. Actions, therefore, in appearanoe extraordinary do not warrant us in inferring insanity on the part of those who accomplish them, especially as these actions, however abnormal they may seem' at first, are often very rational and justifiable. Thus, in order to be able to meditate at their ease, many writers insist on not being disturbed by anything and seek seclusion. Montaigne, in his momenta of inspiration, used to run out of bis house and go and shut himself up in an old tower, into which no one else entered. Jean Jacques Rousseau used to meditate in the fields while gathering flowers in the sunshine. In order to shut out the noise of tho world he liked to bury himself in the hay or close his ears with cotton.

Others can only compose with success in the midst of tumults. The celebrated Italian composer Cimarosa was of this number, and only found the fine motives of his operas in the midst of the joys and noise of the orowd. Such was also the professor of whom Felix Regnault says that he could only lecturo in the midst of a great racket. When his scholars wished to manifest against him, they kept absolute silence, as under snob conditions he was incapable of making an addition even. Jnst as noisd stimulates the brain of some, motion quickens the circulation of others, whence the large number of persons who can only compose while exercising. Ampere could not explain clearly even the things he knew best unless the action of his brain was helped by exercise. Victor Hugo, while composing, walked about muttering to himself. In our day many writers prefer to walk. Gatulle Mendes walks up and down, and then writes at his desk; Jean Lombard, the well known writer, who died a few years ago, walked a great deal; Mistral, the Provenoal poet, composes while walking. On> the other hand, certain writers avoid all motion, probably on account of their weak constitutions, and in order to stimulate the braiu circulation put themselves in a horizontal position. For example, Descartes, who used to lie down motionless, and Cujas, who could only work profitably lying on his stomach on the carpet. A whole class of writers, Tlieophile Gautier, Baudelaire, Francois Coppee and Scaooini, require the presence of oats to write. Gautier used to have as many as 12 or 15. Leon Cladal writes in wooden shoes, in the society of his dog in a garret At intervals he takes his dog off for a walk.

Intellectual stimulants are largely used, among which ooffee is a great favorite. Lortzing drank bowls of it while composing his melodies, and Balzac used it to great excess. De Musset, Poe, Verlaine and many others preferred alcohol, while Schubert wrote his beautiful sonatas under the influence of large quantities of Rhine wine. Tobacco smoke is also much used. Flaubert could not write a word until be bad smoked three or four large pipes and half a dozen very strong cigars. Daudet smokes enormously, Catulle Mendes smokes cigars *while writing and often has three or four going at the same time through absentmindedness. Perfumes were highly appreciated by Baudelaire, Theophile Gautier, Loti and Maizeroy. Byron couldn’t write without having the odor of truffles about him and frequently carried his pockets full of them. Cooper acted on his sense of taste by Ailing his month with honey tablets and small pieces of licorice. Carolns Dnran and Aime Morot worked themselves up before painting by playing the piano and organ. Darwin preferred the violin. The singularities, qneer traits and even manias to which I have just oalled attention in writers and artists are, if one reflects, generally explicable. No doubt some of them betray a nervous condition that is on the limits of mental derangement, but as a rule they are simple peculiarities, whose importance is exaggerated on account of the public position of the writer and would not justify in any sense the term insanity, which for this reason Lombroso wonld like to attribute to men of great talent—Paris Herald.

BLUNDERS OF SPEAKERS.

A Well Known Orator Point* Oat Some Homoroaa Instances. Mr. Joseph Malins, himself a well known public speaker, gives The Woman’s Signal some amusing instances of the hnmors of public speaking. It is, he thinks, a lack of fluency that causes the speaker so often to blunder. Mr. Malins has listend to a temperance orator deploring the fact that a friend resorts to “the frequent use of the daily glass. ” He heard a notable lady speaker speak of slum children “brought into the world with no more idea of home comfort than the children of negroes in Africa. ’ ’ One speaker said, “I rise emphatically, ” and another said, “I stand prostrate with astonishment.” Yet another feelingly told bis audience that it was “not the platform speaker, but the house to house visitation and the utterance of the silent word by the caller which did the most good.” The statements that “the previous speaker’s suggestions were very suggestive” and that another speaker’s remarks were “miscalcnlated to mislead” Mr. Malins also mentions. Then there is the speaker who always misplaces his “h’s” and who prays “that we might be brought to the halter. ” There was a flight of fancy when the speaker asked, “Suppose if a modern balloon dropped upon an uninhabited island, what would the natives say?” The scientific lecturer said of his coming experiment that “all depends upon the present condition of the body about to be created. ” A town councilor spoke of “the rivers and streams that abut on the borough boundaries.” Among Mr. Malin’s other examples is the speaker who began with saying, “The proper study of mankind in general is the—the Btudy of mankind in general,” whereupon an archin in the audienoe cried out, “You’re a-goin in at the same hole you came out at. ”

No less embarrassed was the old gentleman, who, stumbling through an after dinner speech, said, “I—l have no more to say, and so—and so—l’ll make a few more remarks. ” The builder frankly declared he was “more fitted for the scaffold than the platform.” Sometimes the chairman errs in welcoming the speaker. A chairman was heard to welcome a speaker as one “who is always with us, and we wish he would come oftener. ” Kind was the announcement that “there will be two more opportunities to hear the lecturer once more. ” It was when the meeting ended that the chairman asked the audience to “close by singing just one verse of the doxology. ”

BLUE PETER IN WHIST.

The Signal For Trumps First Employed by Lord Henry Bentinck. Thero is a house in London which should he the Mecca of all whist players who believe in the new school and the “information” gamo, a shrine before which they should bow respectfully as the fountain head of all that is modern in the game. This is 87 St. James street, and it is within sight of Marlborough House. Its fame rests chiefly on the fact that it was at one time known as Graham’s club, and that within its walls Lord Henry Bentinck first introduced the blue peter, or signal for trumps, which consists in playing a higher card before a lower when no attempt is made to win the trick. That signal has been to the whist players of the world like the pillar of fire to the ohildren of Israel For more than 40 years it has led them up and down in the wilderness of arbitrary conventions, but it has never brought them to the promised land of better whist. The blue peter was the introduction to whist of a purely arbitrary signal or convention, and its seed has spread like a thistle’s until it has entirely overrun the old game of “calculation, observation, position and tenaoe, ” leaving in its place long suits, American leads, plain suit echoes, four signals and direotive discards. These seem to have choked up all the dash, brilliancy and individuality in our whist players, reducing them all to the same level, not by increasing the abilities of the tyro, but by curtailing the skill of the expert.—R. Frederic Foster in Monthly Illustrator.

Mistake is made by many “home dressmakers” in putting on bone oasings drawn very tightly. They should be left loose—even wrinkled—as the bones when inserted Will bring them to their proper arching shape on the inside. Whalebone soaked in warm water an hour before using render them more pliable. Belt ribbon should never be sewed to the nnderarnl seams. Bent hooks should be chosen for fastenings, setting on first a hook and then an eye, and so on alternately down the bodice, and it will never nnhook of itself. Waist linings are cut an inch longer than the outside to allow for the stretching of the outside material. The extira length is taken up gradually in the seams.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do Is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
