Then, with the same majestic pomp

Posing ns a Model..
A curious feature of a model's occu
pation Is her p.ning lor an artist who
Is painting route mo else. Wealthy
people are capricious and often do net
care to give long sittings. Therefore*,
after the artist has caught tlie expres
sion of ihe face, he will call In a model
to pose for tlie figure. tbun* models
3*> not .-are to do this, as purt of tltelr
eujoyment of their occupation .•onalsta
lu roving themselves reproduced on
canvas, but there ure others who are*
quite willing to help fill out.
Various models have curious points
of excellence, ami often a painter will
employ at different stages In the prog-
ress of his work from three to four
models for otic figure on his canvas.
One model is known for her coloring,
another I'cr her bands, another for her
hair. An artist generally notea In his
address t>ook the characteristics of a
model after her name. These quota
tions are taken at random from an
artist’s address liook: "Fine young
Jewess.*’ “English. tall and slim, blood,
costume;” 'Hood buck.’’ "Good figure,
short legs. Ivory tone." - Cosmopolitan.
Ratllsklm Afraid of Cows.
It will probably not surprise our
renders to hear that most Spanish hull-
fighters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may. however, astonish
them. A sportsmanlike objection to
persecuting a female animal has noth
ing whatever to do with It. The fact Is
that tlie avepage toreador la sincerely
afraid of a row.
And be has good reason. The cows of
the half wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker In their movements
than are the hulls. Their horns ure
more pointed and more formidable.
They do not lower tlielr heads to tlie
ground, shut their eyes and charge like
a locomotive upon the rails, but are
alrrt and ready to follow swery move-
meut of their persecutor*. Tltelr war
like tactics have been adapted not to
Mind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the
strategy of active and cunning beasts
of prey, of which the human bullfighter
la only a feeble mimic. If those Wiesp
Idols of tl |u Spanish populace would
face young and active wild cows which
bnd just been robbed of their calves,
they mlgtu perhaps forestnll the hutch- j
er. hut they weald. At any rats, dp i
something ta earn their fennels.— tal

Queer Turkish Fish.
April It) Is the great fete day of “Bn-
luklt.” or plnce of fishes. This Is a
small church situated ourslde the walls
of Constantinople, and It enjoyed no
particular reputation before the con
quest of Constantinople by tlie Turks.
At the time of the Invasion, however, a
monk wns cooking some fish there
when n messenger came and told him
tlmt the Turks had entered Constanti
nople. The monk did not believe the
story and said be would sooner believe
that the half cooked fish would Jump
back into the water. As he spoke the
fish Jumped back )nto the water, and !
since then the place has had a great |
reputation for Its healing power*. r j
A church has been built over tlie I
spring dedicated to “Our Lady of the !
Fishes," and on this day a regular pil- |
primage takes place from all parts ot I
the town. Many slek are carried thlth- |
er. and many miraculous cures are re j
ported. The truth of the story Is proved
by the presence in a large martde lined ,
tank I11 the church of the lineal de- {
srendnnts of the half cooked fish. Any j
one who dors not believe bn* only to
look In the water, and he will see them,
brown on one side and white on the
other, swimming about at their eosa.
