BONHEUR'S MASTERPIECE.
8tory of th* Famous Fronoh Artlafa
Painting, "Tho Hor«o Fair."
In her story of Rosa Bonheur In
"Tales From the OKI World and the
New," Sophie M. Collmann, the author,
writing of the artist's masterpiece,
"The Horse Fair," says:
"Never, surely, had there been so
mauy sketches of horses; they covered
the walls, the tables, the chairs, the
easels and even the floor, for the world
just then held uothing for Rosa but
horses. She pa lute J away at them un
til she could have done It with her
eyes shut. Every horse In the great
picture had been sketched countless
times, and still Rosa felt that she must
try just one more poBe.
"All things, however, must come to
an end, even sketches, and so in the
course of time the 'Ilorse Fair" was
finished. The world has pronounced It
Rosa Bonheur's masterpiece, for al
though she was to paint many splendid
pictures in the years still to come, none
would ever quite equal this.
" "My Parthenon frieze,' she called
it In jest, but that is just what It Is—
a frieze of horses; there is not much
landscape, and the men hardly count,
and they have usurped the entire can
vas, these ponderous Norman horses,
gray, brown and sorrel, ready to stam
pede out of the picture and taxing ail
the strength of the blue bloused hos
tlers to hold them in. Rosa had wish
ed to portray vigorous life and motion,
and she knew that she had succeeded.
"Many of her pictures went to for
eign lands, and she hoped that this
one might remain in France, but It,
too, weut on its travels, and as though
the restless horses could not endure
quiet, never stopped until it had cross
ed the oc«an, and after many adven
tures was Anally tethered in the Met
ropolitan museum, in New York city,
far, far away from Rosa's studio."
PRAYER FLAGS OF TIBET.
Every Flutter Sends a Plea to Heaven,
the Natives Believe.
Encircling the buildings of Thasa,
Tibet, Is tbe sacred road, merely to
walk along which absolves the mortal
from all earthly slus, and many pil
grims prostrate themselves for its en
tire length, thus securing everlasting
happiness In their future life.
The most interesting portion of the
sacred road is where it runs through
some sharp limestone rocks, carved
deeply with figures of Buddha painted
tu many colors.
From the rocks prayer flags are sus
pended on lines running to an Island
in the river. These prayers are uni
versal in Tibet, and so long as they are
moving they are recording prayers for
the benefit of those who put them up.
All devotees, meu and women, walk,
always turning a small hand prayer
wheel filled with minute prayers print
ed on thin paper, and larger prayer
wiieels, filled in some cases with tons
of paper prayers, are set revolving by
the devout or are sometimes worked
by water power. Smaller ones are
turned by the hot air rising from but
ter lamps.
Single prayers printed on thin cloth
are strung vertically on poles or
stretched across open spaces to flutter
in the wind and thus send millions of
prayers vibrating toward the omnipo
tent for the benefit of some one's soul.
They are most picturesque. An old
lama I once questioned on the sub
ject told me "that If the person turn
ing the wheel truly believed that by
doing so he was accumulating merit
it would certainly count as a meri
torious action."—National Geographic
Magazine.
Table Etiquette.
l>on't rattle your knife and fork. The
napkin rings are more musical.
Don't rest on your arms on the table.
Stack your weapons in a corner before
dinner.
Never leave the table until the others
are through. If in a hurry, take it
with you.
Never eat pie with n knife. It's
proper to eat cheese with pie, but
knives should be eaten alone.
Cigarette smoking is permissible at
the table—if you are dining alone and
have a grudge against yourself.—In
dianapolis Stat.
An Ancient Aquoduot.
The ancient Roman aqueduct at
Nimes Is generally considered the most
perfect of Roman relics. It consists of
three great tiers of arches, the lowest
having been used as a bridge and the
uppermost as an aqueduct. It rises
about 120 feet above the level of the
river. The Pout du Gard, as It is
called, is believed to have been built
under the supervision of Agrippa, the
Roman general, about fifty years be
fore Christ.
No Celestial Explorer.
"Did you ever take any Interest In
astrology?"
"No," replied the matter of fact man.
"I can account for all the hard luck
and temperamental peculiarities I care
to by conditions right here on this
earth."—Washington Star.
Piling It On.
It probably is best neter to give la
in the first place. Qcey Wattles proud
ly stated his record that In three years
of married life he has never neglected
to mall a letter. Now Mrs. Wattles
says he can write them too.—Kansas
City Star.
As We All Think.
"People are queer."
"Isn't that so? Sometimes I think
you and I nre the only really folks on
earth."—Detroit Free Press.

TANK OF OIL
FLOATS O'ER SEA
I
A correspondent from Katalla,
writes the following Interesting de
scription to the Cordova Times of
how oil was recently transported.
A huge oil tank, forty flva feet
in diameter and twenty f^et high,
was successfully towed to its destin
ation vq its own bottom, over ten
miles of open srca and over the two
dangerous bars in front of Katalla.
The St. Ellas Oil Company, now
.running a refinery at thte Katalla
oil f'elds, found it necessary to
move the tank, which has stood for
several years on a hillside at
Pete's Point to its operating plant.
Captain Ben Durkee, of the Katalla
Lighterage Company, who had
charge of the job, went against thfi
adviie of the entire vicinity and de
cided to move It withjouti removing
tbp r'.ve's and taking it to pieces.
The tank was skidded down the
hill to "dewater, and towed by two
launches. It weighs fifteen' tone,
has a caoacity of 5,200 barrels and
drew sis: inches of water when
af!oa< • ' '
Captain Durkee, who in the
course of his transportation career,
has towed and transported nearly
every known object under tbe sun,
says Ihis is the first time be has
ever navigated the dangerous wat
ers of Alaska in a tub.
