ROTHSCHILD REWARDED HIM.
"While the Baron Was Sitting as a Beagar
Model a Student Pleased Ulm.
Dining* on one occasion with Baron
James de Rothschild, Enhene Dela?
croix, the famous French painter, kept
his eyes turned upon his host in so
marked a manner that, when the com?
pany rose to leave the dining-room,
Baron James could not help asking"
his guest what it was that so attracted
his attention, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The painter confessed that for some
time past he had vainly sought a head
to serve as a model for that of a beggar
he intended feo hold a prominent posi?
tion in a painting on which he was
then engaged, and that, as he gazed
at his host's features, the idea sudden?
ly struck him that the very head he
desired was before him With this ex?
planation he ventured to ask the baron
whether he would do him the favor to
sit for him as the beggar.
Rothschild, being a great admirer of
art in all its forms, and pleased to be
considered one of its chief patrons,
readily consented to assume a char?
acter never before undertaken by a
millionaire.
The next day found him at the paint?
er's studio. Delacroix placed a tunic I
round his shoulders, put a stout staff
ia his hand, and made him pose as if he
were resting1 on the steps of an ancient !
Roman family.
In this attitude he was discovered by
one of the artist's favorite pupils, who
alone had free access to the studio at
all times.
Naturally concluding that the model
had- Only just been brought in from
some church- porch, and never dream?
ing the character assumed by him was
far from the true one, he seized an op- i
portunity when his masters eyes were j
turned to slip a piece of money into the
beggars hand.
Baron Rothschild thanked him with
a look, and kept the money. The pupil
soon quitted the studio. In answer to
inquiries made Delacroix told the baron
that this young man possessed talent,
trat no means; that he had, in fact, to
earn his livelihood by giving lessons in
painting and drawing.
Shortly after the young fellow re?
ceived a letter stating that charity
bears interest, and that the accumu?
lated interest on thc amount that he
had so generously given to one whom
he supposed to be a beggar was repre?
sented by the sum of ten thousand
francs, which was lying at his disposal
at the Rothschild offices.
r THE EFFECT OF FEAR.
Imagination a Potent Factor in Acquiring
a Fatal Disease.
**Of the whole number of persons
supposed to die of disease," said a
prominent physician the other day, "I
should say that at least fifty per cent,
are really carried away by fear. Were
it not for this element mortality would
be far less than it ist"
In support of this statement he cited
various cases where thc element of fear
had entered largely in as a potent fac?
tor to persuade people that their time
had come. Presentiments, prophecies,
premonitions and general nervousness
all played their part. On the other
hand, a short time ago a patient of a
New York hospital was frightened into
getting welL This man was brought
in an ambulance, supposedly dying
from heart failure.
He was laid on a table and a diag?
nosis showed him to be suffering with
hysteria. The surgeon turned to one
of his assistants and, asking for a knife,
remarked that he would cut down to
the heart and find what the trouble
was. The patient gave a yell and.
leaping from the table, started for the
door. Remonstrance was in vain. That
man was cured and never came back.
Some time ago four criminals, con?
demned in Russia to die, were taken to
a house and shown several beds, in
which they were told a number of
cholera patients bad died. As a mat?
ter of fact, the beds were new, never
having been slept in. The criminals
were informed that thev would be set
at liberty if they would undergo the
ordeal of sleeping several nights in the
beds. From thc prisoners' point of
.view it was a possible, though a des?
perate, chance of escape. They one
and all decided to take the chances. At
the end of the time prescribed two
were uninjured and went free, but the
others developed all thc symptoms and {
died of Asiatic cholera.
Two physicians determined to take j
advantage of the impressionable mind
of a female patient and prove a theory j
for the benefit of science. The lady
had complained of an itching on her
back. She was told that a blister
would be applied. Instead, a common
postage stamp was applied, and, so j
runs the chronicle, performed all the j
offices of the plaster which was not ;
there.
A college professor was once the sub- j
ject of a practical joke at the hands of j
the students. They met him one after ?
another, and each successively inquired
after his health, saying that he looked
ill. He took to his bcd. a physician was
called and for days tue professor imag?
ined he was iii.-N. Y. World.
The Fatal Word.
"My darling," he exclaimed, raptur?
ously. "How brilliant you are. You
fairly-cr-bristle with ideas."
The Chicago girl drew herself up
to her full height and brushed him
haughtily aside as she swept out of the
roora.
"You seem to forget"--she turned on
her heel at the door and faced him
"that I cannot brook any referen* c tc
my ranier's business.*"-N. Y. World.
