THE ROYAL ACADEMY
FACTS ABOUT ENGLAND’S GREAT AND
WEALTHY SOCIETY.
How the Members and Aaaoclatea
Are Kiected—The luxtltutlon’a Bia
Fund and the Good Works That
Are Done With It.
To become a Royal academician, or at
all events an associate, is the ambition
of every young artist, for membership
in the academy means much more than
the mere light to put the letters R. A.
after one’s name and to exhibit pictures
in the fine galleries at Burlington House.
In the first place, an academician is an
esquire by right and not merely by
courtesy, and, further, he is entitled,
should he ever come on hard times, to
a substantial pension of between £3oo
and £4UO a year. If he dies leaving his
widow unprovided for, the academy al
lows her a liberal sum for her mainte
nance.
The associates and the associates’ wid
ows are also entitled to pensions on a
somewhat smaller scale, so that there
are many reasons apart from the honor
and glory why the painter, sculptor or
architect should wish to become a mem
ber of the powerful and wealthy body.
When therefore a young artist begins
to get on, when he has his pictureswell
hung year after year, when they find
ready buyers and are talked about in
society, he takes the first step toward
election by suggesting to one of the
academicians that he should put his
name down on the list of candidates.
Once down his name stays on the list,
either until he dies or is elected or vol
untarily removes it, and this explains
why one finds on the roll of candidates
the names of many artists once popular,
but long since forgotten by the public.
When a vacancy occurs among the
associates, printed copies of this list on
blue foolscap paper are sent to all the
members, together with a request that
they shall attend at the academy on a
certain evening, when an election will
take place. The j&lections themselves are
conducted in a singular and somewhat
complex fashion peculiar tc the academy
—a method which took the place about
20 years ago of the rough and ready sys
tem formerly in vogue.
Both academicians and associates are
allowed to take part in the election, and
when the members are gathered together
each scores ont with a pencil the name
of the artist for whom he wishes to
vote and hands the paper so marked to
the secretary. These scorings out are
known as “scratches” at the academy,
and the secretary, after examining all
the papers, duly announces how many
“scratches" have been given to each
candidate.
The election is then advanced another
stage. The president, who, by virtue of
his office, occupies the chair, directs
that the names of all those candidates
who have received more than four
“scratches” shall be inscribed in chalk
upon the blackboard, while those to
whom only one, two or three votes have
been given have no further chance of
being elected.
The academicians and associates then
vote again for the candidates whose
names are on the board. The two lead
ing men in this contest are now selected
for a final ballot, the winner in which
becomes an associate of the Royal acad
emy.
The academicians are elected in pre
cisely the same manner, except that tho
associates are the candidates instead of
the outsiders. All this system of
“scratches” and “blackboards” seems
cumbrous and unnecessary, but it is
said to work extremely well in practice.
Sometimes, though very rarely, a tie
occurs, and in this case the president,
or, in his absence, the academician who
temporarily takes his place, has a cast
ing vote. When Mr. Ernest Crofts, ths
battle painter, was elected, he tied in
the final ballot with Mr. Jackson, ths
architect, and to Mr. Calderon (who in
the absence of the late Sir John Millais
occupied the chair) fell the difficult
task of making the final selection.
The associates have no voice in the
election of a president, the power of
voting resting entirely with the acade
micians. Sir John Millais, the late
president, was elected by the unani
mous vote of the members, a fact which
must hav§ been extremely gratifying to
that great artist. But on some other oc
casions the fight for the presidentship
has been very severe indeed.
The post is well worth a struggle, for
it carries with it substantial remun nra
tion, besides great social and artistio
distinction. The late Sir Francis Chan
trey left £IOO,OOO to the academy, out
of the interest of which a salary of soma
£BOO or £9OO a year is provided for the
president.
The academy is immensely wealthy.
The receipts from the annual exhibitions
average from £20,000 to £25,000, and
it is believed that the money invested
in the hands of the trustees does not fall
far short of £500,000. Out of this mon
ey the schools (in which 200 or 300 stu
dents are instructed gratuitously) are
supported and a great many pensions
and donations to decayed artists are
given. Little is heard of these charities
by the public, but they are very consid
erable, and the declining years of many
old painters and sculptors are made easi
er by them.
Upon the academy also falls the ex
pense of the annual banquet, which
costs perhaps £4OO or £SOO, besides any
Dumber of minor charges, as, for exam
ple, the payment of the selecting and
hanging committees at the spring ex
hibition.—Pearson’s Weekly.

TOO SURE OF HER MAN.
He Came to Tell Her Important
News, but She Bent Him Off.
“There's no use of your saying a
word!” exclaimed the woman of the
house as soon as she had opened the
door and glanced at the man standing
outside. “I know you.”
“But, ma’am” —
“I recognized you as soon as I saw
you. You can’t” —
• “Ma’am” —•
“You’re the man who sold me a
washing tnachiuo six months ago for
$6.50 that wasn’t worth shucks. It
wouldn’t” —
“All I wanted to tell you, ma'am,
is”—
“It wouldn’t wash anything. The
longer you used it the dirtier the clothes
got. You couldn’t sell me anything
now if you was to pay me for taking it.
When a man fools me once, he won’t
ever have tho chance to do it again* I
can tell you that. I’ll sell that washing
machine back to you for 50 cents. It
doesn't make any difference what you’ve
got this time. I wouldn’t touch it with
a ten foot pole, and you can talk until
you are gray. It won’t do any good.”
“Madam,” yelled the man, who had
been dancing about impatiently, “your
kitchen roof is blazing where that iron
stovepipe runs up through it! That’s
what I stopped to”—
“Good landj. Why didn’t you say so?
What did you want to stand there talk

The Stage In Shakespeare’s Time.
John Churton Collins, tho distin
guished essayist and Quarterly Review
er, has been lecturing on the theater of
Shakespeare’s time. The typical theater
then was of wood, circular or hexago
nal in form, being modeled externally on
the general structure of the old amphi
theaters for bull and bear baiting. The
interior was fashioned after the manner
of an inn yard. The pit was scorched
by tho sun, while the actors were pro
tected by a thatched penthouse. The
scenery was supplied by the imagina
tion of the audience, but what was
lacking in scenery was made up in noise
and bustle, things being kept very live
ly in that direction. The most numer
ous class among the audience were roist
ering prentices.
On the stage and in other parts were
fashionable dandies, swashbucklers,
writers and actors. These, it is inter
esting to know, always had a free pass.
The play lasted two hours on an aver
age, and, considering the noise and the
smells which accompanied the perform
ance, one was, Mr. Collins presumed,
not sorry when “the actors dropped on
their knees to pray for the queen. ”
The Cheetul.
The axis, or cheetul, deer of the Indi
an jungle can claim to be the most or
namental of all the 36 races of deer to
be seen gathered together at Woburn.
In tho early summer, when all the oth
er deer except the wapiti are either
shedding their horns or “in the velvet, ”
the axis are in perfection, both of color
and antlers. The large herd of this spe
cies looks as if carved out of ivory and
red gold in the sunshine and verdure of
English scenery. Their horns are almost
white, their eyes and muzzles of jet
black, their throats white and their
backs and sides a brilliant golden tan,
spotted with round dots of purest white.
It is worth a pilgrimage to Woburn to
see these deer alone. They breed con
stantly, sometimes producing two fawns
in tho twelvemonth.—Spectator.
Welcoming 1 Fresh Cares.
“As far as fresh cares are concerned, ”
said a man of mature years, “as I grow
oftler I rather welcome them. They blot
out the old cares completely and so
show how unsubstantial they were, and
I know that in due course these new
cares will be supplanted by others and
will as completely give way to them.
Thus I am constantly reminded that
our cares really don’t amount to much,
except as we imagine them great, and
I expect to see the day when I shall
give but scanty room to them and not
be disturbed by them at all.” —Nev?

Blind Reading.
By a system of numeral type invent
ed by Rev. W. IL Murray of Peking,
originally a Scotch workman, the blind
people of China are now taught to read
and write in less than three months,
and this in spite of the fact that there
are 408 distinct sounds in tho Chinese
language. By a special adaptation of
this system the blind are now actually
teaching sighted pupils to read.

GUARDING AGAINST FRAUD.
II :»w London Ila nkera Leasen tIK
< hfiii4*ea For Finhesulement.
“Very few people know that there are
a great and ir.i leasing number of firms
in this country—banking firms especial
ly—who make an inflexible rule that
all employees, whether they be man
agerial heads or mere junior clerks,
must take an annual holiday.”
The speaker was oue of the best
known in London, and he
continued: “The reason is that all great
employers now realize that most long
continued cases of embezzlement and
bieach of trust are only, as a rule, dis
covered through t!.e offender being oom
polled, through iGiti-ss or some other
cause, to leave his books for a time.
“Nearly all default :ng bank manage;.!
are trapped through their enforced ab
sence, and thu it h.vt I t.gun to be tho
rule for employers to insist that serv
ants who have the manipulation of
books and money must go away. Hun
dreds of sets of bocks come into my
hands and those of ether accountants in
this way, and I could tell you of many
cases whore two < r ntoro clerks, who
could in their ordinary work play into
each other’s hands, are sent holiday
making at the same time.
“Another fact of the same kind that
is little known is that many employers
make a rule of having their employees
photographed very plainly in groups
every year or two—on some occasion of
festivity that is made tho excuse—so
that the firm always possess a valuable
means of identification in case of any
man absconding.”—Pearson’s Weekly.
AMERICA’S RAPHAEL.
A Picture Which. It Is Said, Han Yet
<o Be Discovered.
There is one picture in America
which, for convenience’s sake, may be
designated “Fata Morgana.” It is fre
quently alluded to and always in a tone
of reverent admiration. When one is in
New York one hears of it as in Boston.
When one.is in Boston one hears of it
as either in New York or Philadelphia.
If the- quest be pursued in these cities
the picture is said to be located in Bal
timore and so forth. What is this mys
terious work which would appear to
be considered as the chief treasure of
art in America? It is a wholly imagi
nary Raphael. I found the most rooted
conviction in all so called “art circles”
that America is the happy possessor not
only of a Raphael, but of a superbly
fine example of that master, and, as al
ready indicated, the picture is not only
alluded to with pride, but with an ad
miration that is akin to awe.
It is unfortunate that the picture
doos not exist, except in the fervent
transatlantic imagination. In a word,
there is no Raphael in America.
Strangely enough, there are very few
forgeries even, the one or two canvases
with any approach to the manner of the
great Italian master being so obviously
imitative that no one with any adequate
knowledge of his work could possibly
be deceived. It is, however, a pleasant
fiction, and enables patriotic Americans
in Europe to enlarge upon the superb
mas ter pi cces ov et sea. —N i noteenth Cen -

Woe to Tl»r*t UreßNmaker!
You may talk about naval heroes and
rough riders all you like, but for super
human nerve and colossal daring com
mend me to a woman I saw in a dry
goods shop here in town only last Mon
day morning. I had an excellent op
portunity to observe her carefully, for
she stood precisely where 1 desired to
stand while she —well, this is what she
did: She asked the salesman to show
her a certain piece of red cashmere.
Then she produced from her pocket the
cut paper pattern of a child’s dress and
calmy pinned the pieces to the cloth.
The salesman stood politely tty, think
ing, if a salesman ever had time to
think, that she desired to ascertain the
quantity required for the garment she
intended to make, but she didn’t intend
to make any garment at all. After she
had pinned the whole pattern carefully
in place, she took it off and rolled it
up. There was a gleam of triumph in
her eye.
“Thank you,” she said. “That’s all
I wanted. I know it didn’t take four
yards. That dressmaker has just kept
that extra yard and a half, that’s what
she’s done. ”
But ray, my 1 Think of a dressmaker
reckless enough to try to deceive a wo
man like that!—Washington Post.
Caught.
A clergyman recently, addressing
those who criticise others while they
themselves aro open to criticism, told
this story: “When Iwas a boy, we had
a schoolmaster who had odd ways of
catching idle boys. Says he one day:
‘Boys, I must have closer attention to
books. The first one of you that sees an
other boy idle I want you to inform me
and I will attend to the case.’ ‘Ah,’
thought 1 to myself, ‘there’s Joe Sim
mons, that I don’t like. I’ll watch him,
and if I see him look off his book I’ll
tell on him.’
“It was not long before I saw Joe
look off his book, and immediately I
informed the master. ‘lndeed,’ said he.
‘How did you know he was idle?’ ‘I
saw him, ’ was the reply. ‘You did. And
were your eyes on your book when you
saw him?’ I was caught, but I didn’t
watch for the boys again.”—New York
Tribune.

asked, “ Who are these fellows, Bill?”
“The 12 apostles.” was the reply
without a smile.
“Twelve apostles!” roared the in
credulous Jack. “How can that be?
There’s only six of ’em. ”
“Well, y’swab,” replied the learned
Bill, “yer wouldn’t have ’em all or
