"The idea of business in a country that has reached the height of Its development Is a dry as dust affair." says Hutchins Hnpgood in Ain?lee's. "It is the miscralrfe system of ke* ping what one has, a system in which the temperament and the iniaginutiwn do not play a part. The American, however, puts imagination into business. Business is the art of tlds country. To the American of affairs.there are in his work excitement, charm and color. To 1dm it is ' not a matter of mathematics, hut of the croative imagination. Great processes. great inventions, great corporations?t lie organization of sueh things requires genius. "Nobody is stupider, more avaricious and more economical in a small way than a French peasant or a German linusfrau. Nobody is less avaricious and more economical in a big way than a great American Inventor, financier or business man. Through his brains production becomes cheaper and eonsenilOtlHv nint-o nlmtulnnf ??.*/! ? * ... M?VIV uuuiiutiui, (iiiu uiuru KU,"I to the common people thereby accrues than by nil the small savings ever made since civilization began. It is better to be able to make than to save, and to make much a large outlay in money, energy and brains is necessary. To save pennies is a sign of commercial incompetence and national decline. "When an individual or a nation begins a system of housekeeping on a small scale, it is a sign that the lifeblood is ebbing. Old people, drier and less resourceful than young people, arc notoriously more economical. They, like old nations, want to hang on to what they have rather than strive for more. The wisdom of the French peasant consists in keeping down his expenditure and the size of his fnmily to a point where the nation as a whole is weakened. As Bacon said, Tic that hath a state to repair may not despise small things,' and perhaps the decay of the country is the cause rather than the effect of French economy. Anyway the two things hang closely together." A FAMOUS PAINTING. One FlKiirv In n Jnpnncnp Picture Visible Only at Nljclit. Some of the finest Japanese paintings in Washington are In the legation building of that nation, the Japanese embassador being a collector and connoisseur of the art of his native land. The Japanese style of painting is altogether uulike that of Europe and America, and the reason Japanese painters are able to produce color effects that are the despair of European and American artists is owing to the pigments they use, a largo number of which are secret and unknown outside of Japan. In Japan there is a very famous painting which no amount of money could buy and which is the masterpiece of a famous nrtist who lived several centuries ago. Viewing the painting in the daytime, one is disappointed. It shows nothing more than a very commonplace landscape, unrelieved by mountains or hills. As soon, however, as night falls one begins to realize the peculiar merit of the picture, for upon the canvas there appears a luminous water buffalo (caribou) browsing upon the grass at its feet. The artist who painted this picture discovered a certain phosphorescent paint, which he obtained from the bodies of certain mollusks, or fish,' and with which he painted the buffalo that, invisible in daylight, is luminously brilliant in the dark. The secret of making this paint died with the artist The picture, which hangs in a Buddhist temple, has proved a fertile source of superstition, the priests claiming that the buffalo bides away in the shade behind some trees in the picture during the heat of the day, coming out at night to graze.?Washington Post riih That Kill Each Other. One of the queerest sharks is the thrasher, which has the upper lobe of its tail so much developed as to equal in length the body of the fish Itself. This tail is controlled by powerful muscles and is used as a weapon. Swordflsb and thrasher sharks have been seen on many occasions to attack whales in concert and kill them, the sharks laRhlng their victims with their tails while the swordQsb pierce them from below. On the other hand, sharks themselves are often killed by porpoises, which will surround a shark and lnsli the enemy to death with their flukes. Maklnfr Him Cheerfal.

This mischievous weller of the pool is known to the nail boy and the rustic angler under mny names?in one place as a sucker, i another a bullhead.

The nine Is derived from the fact that lien the creature is raised from the ater it emits a grunting protest which aetical fishermen have pronounced ke the purring of a family cat.

A Quakeress soon after that discovred that the old fashioned waflle, lightly salted and covered with meltI butter, made an irresistible accessoy to the fish when well fried. This tarted the catfish and wallhti, for *liich the City of Brotherly Love has ver since been famous.
