A SEA PICTURE CRITIC He Knew All About Ships and the Wild Ocean. ART COMMENTS OF A SAILOR The "Death of Nelson" Reminded Him of How 'Arkness Come Off the Main Yard-The Blood Red Sky Without a Cloud That Foretells a Storm. Crude perhaps and curious, the out come of a life apart, sailormen have yet an appreciation of the arts, writes David W. Bone in the Manchester Guardian. Once in the Walter gallery I was looking at "The Death of Nelson." There was a man with the look of a seaman standing near. He had a slight smell of drink and was chewing tobac co. 'He, too, was interested in the pic ture, and, recognizing me as seaman like, he said something, and we got to talking about Nelson and his times, about ships and pictures. "B'gad, mate, them fellers" (the painters he meant) "knowed what they was a-doin'. Look at that 'ere gim" (lan tern). "Looks as its trimmin' was for got w'en they brought th' admiral down. * * * An' them eyes," point ing to a wounded seaman in the near foreground. "them's th' eyes ' poor 'Arkness wot come off th' main yard las' voyage an' struck th' fife rail full on!" He told me of the accident, how it happened. and by his eyes and rude. simple speech I saw it all. As plain be fore me as the figure of, the stricken seaman I saw 'Arkness come off the main yard, clutching wildly at the sheets and lifts as he fell. I heard him strike the rail with a sickening thud and lie. stretched. I saw the running figures on the deck, and-"'e never larsted th' night We buried 'im out there. Taltal it was," said my speaker, involuntarily twisting a shoulder to an Imaginary 1southwest. There was a sea picture, a ship com Ing up to the Isle -of Wight-clean curving sails, a good sense of move ment and a fine, breezy atmosphere. "Jest wot it Is," said my friend, "'omeward bound. Let 'er go. boys!" a burst of enthusiasm that made some visitor glance around, alarmed. "'Ome ws-:d bound it is!" There were other ine lctures, but we did not feel that we had a right to do more than look at them and admire. With sea pictures it was different They were our world. and who had the right to criticise the way a sea was moving off the sky if we bad not?. Too often had we watch ed. anxious eyed, for a break in the clouds not to know the way of wind on the water, the .scud of a cloud breaking free in a welcome shift. Well we knew the curve of a standing sail and the relation-it bore to the sense of movement For a city of the sea Liverpool has no great representation of her fore most Industry on her chamber walls. Sea pictures have apparently no at traction for her chiefest citizens. There was little call for sea critics down stairs, so we went to an exhibition of modern art in the upper galleries. Here we found ourselves properly con fronted. "Setting Sail After a Blow" it was, a large canvas, a ship pitching heavily in the swell of a recent gale and the crew putting the canvas on. her. It held a great message for my mate (black smoke and an ever throb bing screw had not yet dulled his sea fancy). He was highly pleased. "Them seas wot ye gets off th' Plate!" He wanted to show some word of cheer, to swing his right hand to the left shoul der in seamanlike admiration, but the cold gray eye of a tall hatted official was upon us-"Huh. sailorsl"-and there was a group of young ladies near by worshiping at the shrine of a *corporation purchase, so he contented himself by nudging me furiously. "That's wotI calls a picture," he said. A sunset over water claimed our at tention. A blood red sky with no clouds, only a slight density near the horizon. I said it was remarkable, perhaps unreaL "That's where ye ain't in it, mister! Look a' here! If .ye wos t' take all th' colors in th' lock er so's ye 'ad lots o' red an' yeller in, ye'dfind asky t' match it Ain't ye never 'eard o' what them dagos calls blood o' Chrs'-them dagos wot loads ye ballest in th' Plate?" 1 had not -heard. "Well, it's a sky like that, an' it comes afore one of them 'pamperos.' "Min' I wos lyin' in Monte Video -oncet, an' we 'ad a sky all blood red an' never a cloud, an' th' fishin' boats wos all comin' in; not rowin' shipshape, same 's me- an' you 'ud do; them shovin' th' oars 's if they wos pushin' a barrer." He spat into a dark corner and said something more about dagos, then continued: "Nex' day we 'ad a gale.- 'Owlin', It was, an' her drivin' into it same 's we wos off th' Horn, an' a big German bark driv' down on us an' took th' fore to'gal'n'mast out o' 'er an' th' boom an' started all th' 'eadgear. Two ships wos driv' ashore, an' that's wot comes out o' them skies wot they calls th' blood o' Chris'." It was an impressionist picture that annoyed my mate-an impression of a scene in dock, with masts and funnels and hulls all mixed up. The coloring was good, but the ships might have been ninepins or egg boxes or any thing. At first he was perplexed, then amused, then indignant "Oh, -" he said. "What's this? Ships b'gad, or I'm a Dutchman!" He burst into a fit of rude laughter- "Ships it is, mister, an' look at them tawps'l yards! Ships wi' tawps'l yards below the main, an' a hangman's gibbet fer th' mizzen gaff. Them fellers 's got some cheek, mate. That's -wot 1 calls It-cheek--t' be paintin' thins like that 'Gly sailor!

"Do you think, sweetheart," queried the young man with the evenly divid ed hair, "that your father will con sent to our marriage?" "Well," replied the fair one, "of course papa will be sorry to lose me, but" "But," interrupted the rash youth, "I will remind him that instead of los ing a daughter he will gain a son." "Dearest," rejoined the wise maid, "if you really want me you mustn't say anything of the kind. Papa has three such sons boarding with him now, and he's a little touchy on the Crushing the Curate. One of the first tasks they set the new curate, who was handicapped by youth and inexperience, was to investi gate the bona fides of a "widow wo man" who had applied to the church for help. He departed nervously on his errand and knocked, as ill luck would have it. at the wrong door. "How long has your poor husband been dead, my good woman? What number of children have you? Are any of them working? If so. what amount of money are they earning altogether?" were the questions he fired, like shots from a revolver, at the slatternly woman who answered -his summons. "I p:esume I am ad dressing Mrs. Harract Smith?" he add ed, noticing with alarm that she look ed angry. "No, you ain't." answered the woman snappishly.

Where I was born? When I was baptized? At what age I started courtin'? Perhaps," she con cluded sarcastically, rolling her tatter ed sleeve up above the elbow, "you'd like to see my vaccination mark before you go?" But the bashful curate was already in full flight.-Liverpool Mercury. Long Men Wanted. The records in the war department in Washington are as a rule very dry, but occasionally an entry is found that is humorous. An officer of engineers in charge ot the construction of a road that was to be built through a swamp, being energetic himself and used to sur mounting obstacles, was surprised when one of his young lieutenants whom he had ordered to take twenty men and enter the swamp said that he could not do it-the mud was too deep. The colonel ordered him to try. He did so and returned with his men cov ered with mud. "Colonel, the mud is over my men's heads. I can't do It" The colonel insisted and told him to make a requisition for anything that was necessary for a safe passage. The lieutenant made his requisition in writing and on the spot . It was as follows: "I want twenty men eighteen feet long to cross a swamp fifteen feet deep."-Harper's Weekly. 'The "Nagur" and the Fiddle. Here Is a story that Frederick Doug lass used to tell about himself: Once when he was in Dublin he felt very lonesome. He was wandering about the streets when he was attracted by two violins in the window of a second hand dealer. Frederick entered and asked the price of one of the instru ments. "Five shillings, sor," said the Irish dealer. Frederick tuned the violin and began to play "Rocky Road to Dublin." Soon the proprietor's wife heard the Music and entered the rear door. Then Fred erick started in on "The Irish Washer woman," and the couple began to dance for dear life. When the music and dancing stopped Frederick ten dered the dealer 5 shillings, but his performance on the violin had greatly enhanced its value in the mind of the storekeeper, and as he hurried away to a place of security he exclaimed: "It' a black nagur can git such chunes out of that fiddle I'l never sell It at any price, begorrah!" The Secret. From his farm Judge Blank was in the habit of supplying the preachers of all the. churches with flour, corn, hay and vegetables free of cost He also kept the country supplied with venison from the herd of deer which he kept for many years. He built a big smokehouse in the rear of his grounds. One night, unseen himself, he saw a man emerge from the smoke house with L. fe of pork on his shoul der. He recognized the intruder, but said nothing. A week afterward the fellow approached him, 'saying, "Judge, I understand you had some meat stol en from your smokehouse?" The old judge raised his hand deprecatingly and said: "Shi No one on earth knows anything about that but you and me."-Argonaut Where She Got Them. "But," said the inquisitive bauhelor after the baby had been carefully placed in his arms, "where does she get her blue eyes? Yours are dark, and so are her papa's." "Oh," the fond young mother ex plained. "she inherits them from my side of the family. My brother Will's wife has just such eyes exactly." Cleveland Leader. Food and Civilization.

The phrase "Dixie" or "Dixie's Land" is supposed to be derived from one Dixy, a kind hearted slave owner on Manhattan Island in the latter part of the eighteenth century. His treat ment of his negroes caused them to regard his plantation ("Dixy's") as lit tle short of an earthly paradise, and when any of the slaves were taken away from their old home they were always pining for -'Diszy's" and singing and talking of its joys.

Wild Bi'1 ickok was the first fron tiersman who recognized the impor tance of proficiency in the use of the six shooter. This was the real secret of his supremacy. He was an unerring marksman and shot as accurately un der fire as when firing at a mark. ap urently taking no aim. Probably no man has ever equaled nm in the lightning-like rapidity with which he could draw a weapon in time of emergency and in the thorough self possession that made it possible for him to take advantage of every oppor tunity in savage conflict. le had a standing order to his deputies that they should not rush in on him in any of his affrays and especially should not come quickly up in the rear. By forgetting this a man named Wil liams met his death at Abilene. Hickok taking hi:n for an enemy and firing so rapidly that it left no opportunity for recognition. He readily killed a -wild goose across the Smoky Hill with his revolver. Riding at his horse's highest speed. he fired shot after shot into a tin can or a post a few rods distant. Standing at one telegraph pole. he would swing rapidly on his heel and iire a pistol ball into the next telegraph pole. These were some of the simpler feats he performed day after day on the street to settle little wagers. He could shoot a hole through a silver dime at fifty paces and could drive the cork through the neck of a bottle at thirty paces and knock out the bottom without breaking the neck. [le could do what the fancy shots of the present day do, and possibly some of them equal him as marksman with a re volver, but It must be remembered that he was the first to acquire the skill, and the so called crack shots of his day were poor imitations at best, al though most of them boasted of their fame. He shot just as well with others shooting at him and at a man as stead ily as at any other target. There were certain traits of his character, however, that were almost womanly. He was fond of children, and they liked him. He declined to quarrei with the peace ful settlers of the community, the busi ness men, on any provocation. There was no foolhardy bravado about him. -Denver Field and Farm. CONJURED A TREATY. How Houdin, the Magician, Awed the Arabs into Submission. During the French conquest of Al geria (1830-3) negotiations for peace were entered upon with the sheiks of certain Arab tribes, and a'meeting for the settlement of terms was arranged to take place at the French headquar ters. The French officers received their guests with great hospitality, and after the banquet given in their honor, at which the utmost splendor was em ployed in order to dazzle their eyes and captivate their simple minds, an adjournment was made to a large hall. where M. Houdin. the celebrated con jurer. who had accompanied the French forces. gave an exhibition of his skill. - They stared in open mouthed wonder at all the tricks that. were performed. and a feeling of awe crept over them as they witnessed the mysterious ap pearance and disappearance of various objects. But what appeared to them most marvelous was the apparent manufacture of cannon balls. M. Hou-' din passed round among them a high hat, which they examined very care fully, but without suspecting anything unusual in either its make or its ap pearance. When the hat was returned to him the conjurer placed it on the floor in the middle of the stage tu full view of his audience. He then proceed ed to take from the hat cannon balls apparently without number and rolled them across the floor into the wings. With this the performance terminated. The chiefs then consulted among themselves and came to the conclusion that it was useless to offer any ppposi tion to an army that could turn out its ammunition in so easy a manner. They therefore signed the required treaty and departed to tell their friends in the desert of the wonderful power of the invaders. Wanted to See Too. Farmer Aseed and his wife came up to London to go to one of the theaters. They saw a great many men go out a~ter the first act, in which a man had been shot. She-Henry, where are you going?

If one can imagine a furious and ac tive volcano with a crater a thousand miles ia estent, sunk level with the earth and thinly cov( red with a screen of soil, one has some idea of the awe inspiring "wonderland" of New Zea land's north island. You cannot poke a stick into the ground without start ing a boiling spring, and wherever you turn the ground is fairly alive with geysers of boiling water-steam jets and blowholes. with quivering vol canoes and gurgling "mud pots." all colored fantastically with rainbow hues, ranging from brillant sapphire to vivid scarlet. Stranger still. the entire face of this region is constantly changing in shape and color, and there are hot springs here stretching in a continuous chain for 300 miles. The ground throbs and quivers with vol canic activity, and set in the midst of it all are native 31aori villages of sur passing interest. a strange race of magnificent savages. who, although they have been cannibals within the memory of man, are now a highly in telligent race and actually send rep resentatives to the parliament in Wel lington. The native women, gorgeous in gar ments of crimson, green and purple. are forever puffing stolidly at big pipes and going hither and thither about their household work with the quainfest of babies slung across their baclks. This reminds me that domes tic work in this strange region is made light indeed for white house wives as well as the Maori women. Every garden and 'back yard has Its hot water provided by nature. And when these easy goiag people grow hungry the mother prepares a meat pudding or a joint and drops it into a convenient pot of natural boiling water in the earth. and in a few minutes it is cooked.

"By the way, Mary," said Mr. Win terbottom, "young Ascot asked for my advice today about getting mar ried." Mrs. Winterbottom looked up from the pile of socks that she was darn ing. "And what advice- did you give him, John?" she said. "'Er-hand me them matches, will you? My pipe's out," said Winterbot tom. She transferred the mound of mend ing from her lap to a chair, rose and, taking the matches to her husband, quietly resumed her work again. "Well," continued Mr. Winterbottom, wallowing in his big chair. "I told Ascot to go ahead and marry at once. I told him what I hasve always be lieved-namely. that nothing develops the best traits in a man's character like matrimony. Nothing. I told him, so splendidly brings into blossom those seeds of unselfishness, of self sacrifice, that lie dormant In even the best of bachelors. The ba'chelor thinks only of himself. The married men forgets himself in the protecting care that he must eternally lavish upon wife and babes. Coarse. selfish brutes of bachelors I have seen transmuted by marriage into a fine gold of such self forgetfulness and tender consider ation. such delicate solicitude and courtesy-er-as" Mr. Winterbottom had been slapping his pockets and frowning. Now he stopped. abruptly. "Here's my pipe out," he said, "and I forgot to bring down that pouch again. Do you mind, Mary?

One of the most interesting types on the American track Is the professional money lender. Money lending is ab solutely forbidden, and so the entire transaction must be conducted sub rosa. but if a person who is- on goes broke and he has some article of jew elry of value with him it is easy for him to realize money on it. The lender Is an irreproachably dressed person who sits on the grand stand with the rest of the crowd and is known in his true colors only to the habitues of thr- track. A man who wants some capital makes an unobtru sive sign to him and twirls a ring he may be wearing at the time. Shortly afterward both will proceed to a res taurant, where, for the benefit of on lookers, they will greet each other as ordinary acquaintances. The exchange is then made over the drink they order; the loan broker has the ring and the' bettor his capital.
