Wat ^iatcjiiffitit w Sonaron WEDNESDAY, MAY 26. 1397. HE LOVES THE URBAN. V, J. A. MsciCeill Whistler Is Essenti& y a Painter of tho Town. Whistler rejoices irr the harmony of %: form and color wherever it confronts him, in the tenable down shop as in the noble palace, in thc disorder of the mar ket place as along the terraces cf the stately garden. Mr, Whistler has made many portraits on the stone, he has worked nrach cat of doors, but his mo tive has ever been suggested by thc pic torial aspect of men'and women and the world he lives in. His concern is with the realities of life, that poetry may be the result-the poetry of paint cr pencil. To him the country is scarce less an enemy than it was to the De Goucourts, who saw in it one large charnel house. Town has ever had for him amore irre sistible charm. London, of ' The mysterious distances, the glooms Bomantic, the august And solemn shapes: Paris, the elegant, the dainty, the dis tinguished city* of vast vistas and ter raced gardens, have held him by a more potent spell than plowed field and meadow land, than green valleys wind ing among the hills. He would rasher see the fog lifting and falling on the street's long facade than the cloud shad ows drifting across the mountain side. He would find more majesty in the for est of masts along the quays than in the greenest depth of Fontainebleau or Sher wood. In tiie city he has painted his nocturnes, and it is the city that has been the inspiratior^of his needle. With the exception of a very occasional etch ing, J do not remember a landscape by Mr. Whistler. And, as with his paint ings and plates, so with his lithographs. When he has worked out of doors, it has been in London or Lyme Kegis, in Paris or Vitre.-Elizabeth Eobins Pennell in Scribner's. THE OLD CLIPPER SHIPS. Sensations Not to Be Had Nowadays cn Board Record Breaking Lipers. "One of the youngsters asked me the other day," said the old skipper, "if I had ever been to Europe on record breaking liner. I told him I hadn't and never wanted to go there that way. It is just a Question cf engineers and stok ers, mere landsmen, cn a big liner, and I'd rather ship before the mast, even on one of your lubberly 40 day? steel, square riggers with bows like a canalboat, than go "on a steamship. It would be just about as interesting to me as a trip on a railroad train. ; "The kind of sailing I like it will never be the privilege of you young fel lows to indulge in. You will never fcnow the fun of having a clipper craft as sharp as a steamboat under your feet - jumping across the seas under a press of canvas never seen on ocean going sailing vessels nowadays, with her rigging as taut as iron bars, and your shipmates holding your hair on your head. " * What she ca^'t carry she may lug, ' was the test at sea then. I remember when I was in the clipper Northern Light we carried stu !n "sails slap into Boston harwor, making thc famous pass age of 76 days 4 bonis from San Fran cisca Our ship worked like a basket, but we had shipped a double crew for the run, and ene crew did nothing but pump ship. There was some cracking on ofv sail when ships cf 2,000 tens cr mere had ail their' tcp hamper whisked over the Icc sice while the skipper was turning to spit over thc taffrail. Sven after that scrae cf thc ships made geed j passages. li's a funeral nowadays tc lese a topgallant mast."-Kew York -_;_ Planked "ft'Iiitciish and SI:od. Plankin;; fish is, as a rale, confined to clubhouses, where large, open iires are accessible, bat M" *s. S. T. Borer, in The Ladies5 Kerne Journal, tells how planked fish may'ce serv ed io perfecficn in the sra ailes t and most modest home in America. 4* Tho peculiar flavor imparted by rho heating plank makes thc fish more delicious than when cooked in any ether way. If one has a gas stove, the method is quite simple, but the oven of a coal range may also bc used with success. Secure a two inch plank the size of thc oven, made from hard wood,, oak or hickory. When ready to use, put it in the even until it is so hot that you can not bear your hand on it fer an instant. Have the fish split down thc back. Put} it, skin down, cn thc hot plank. Dust with salt and pepper and baste with melted butter. In an ordinary coal stove, put it on thc even bottom, close the oven dcor and bake for 30 minutes, basting two or three times. When the fish is done, take it from the oven, gar nish with parsley and lemon and send it to the table on the plank, pl ced cn a Japanese lacquer tray just a little larger than the plank. Whitefish may be planked in the same way. " An Armless Wonder. William Kingston, an English fanner, .was bom without arms, but neverthe less made such good use of his feet that he could do with them almost anything that was dene by a person with hands. He could feed himself, using the knife and fork and carrying his cup to his mouth; could shave himself, and could perform all the ordinary work of the farm except mowing. He was even able to milk cows with his feet and wrote a beautiful hand, holding the pen bet ween the first and second toes. From Kentucky.

Physicians were unable to help me, and 1 only grew worse under their care. At length, I began io take AYER Sarsaparilla, a n very soon grew bet ter. After using half a dozen bottles I was completely cured, s that I have not had a l&i! or pimple on any part of my body for the last twelve years.
