Irresistible movement and living por

of art and the affections of lovers of
paintings. ,
Few, however, are acquainted witl.
the intimate history of that nutal.'k
canvas, and fewer still are aw’arc that
there are no less than five horst fail
pictures in existence. The one in Nov
York is the original and, it will be
membered, was first the property of A
T. Stewart and then purchased for i!i/
Metroix)litan by Cornelius Vanderbilt
for 250,000 francs.
It was painted in Paris, tho model
used being the horses of the I’aris On
nibus companj' and a few animal;
studied at the horse market of tli-
French capital. It was lirst exhlbitcu
at the salon of 1853, but wont back b:

A part of the further history of tb«
famous painting is recorded by Ernest
Gambart in his manuscript memoirs
which have been freely drawn upru
for the “Reminiscences of Rasa Boji

1854 I expressed to Mile. Eonhour tht
desire to buy It from her. At that thn
it was in Bordeaux, her native town.
“Her preference was that the munic

"QUEST OF EL DORADO.
That Elusive Land of Gold and Jew«ta
In South America.
Guiana is bounded on the north by
the great river Orinoco and on the
south by the still greater river Ama
zon. These two grand rivers are con
nected with one another, the Cislqul-
ure, a branch from the Orinoco, falling,
into the Rio Negro, a tributary of th&
Amazon. Within Guiana itself are
many rivers of very considerable size.
The kingdom of El Dorado was re
puted to exist somewhere between the
Rio Branco and the Essequlbo, called
by the Indians the Brother of the Ori
noco. Manoa, the capital, was said to
be somewhere between the Rio Branco
and the Rupununi, a tributary of the
Essequlbo. From the thirties of the
sixteenth centurj' some eighteen expe
ditions had been sent by the Spaniards
to Guiana in search of the golden king
dom. Diego de Ordas, one of the cap
tains of Cortes at the conquest of Mex

him followed many a brave cavalier,
but all was in vain, and disasters as
well as failure attended nearly all the
expe>?Jtions.

Papain of Great Value.
Papam, the most important chemi

which took place when the Bulgarian
army was driving the Turks out of
Thrace. The battle of Kirk Kelisseh
had just been fought.

ably few of the travelers in tropical
countries who enjoy the melon-like
papaya realize that this fruit contains
one of the most valuable digestives
known to medicine, though the natives
of the Orient, especially in southern
India and Ceylon, use the fruit almost
universally to preventdyspepsia. There
are several varieties of Carica papaya,
and the papain obtained from the dif-
ferent kinds varies accordingly, the
best being that derived from the male
trees of a hybrid variety occurring in
Ceylon. The digestive and disintegrat

the fact that the native cooks in Cey

the plant to the surface of tho meat, op ^

Use One of the Spark Plugs When You
Have No Matches.
Did you ever while making an auto
mobile tour find yourself on a lonely
country road, perhaps miles from the
nearest house, and suddenly discover
that you had no matches? If you
were anxious to light the lamps or ea
ger for a smoke such a discovery
would not prove at all conducive to
the smoothness of your temper.
There is a simple way in which any
one may secure a light without the aid
of matches. You may be anxious for
a smoke or It may be getting dark and
you want to light your lamp, but in
any event you can secure the neces
sary light if you will follow these di
rections:
Unscrew one of the spark plugs and
let it lie on the cylinder head. Wrap a
small wisp of waste around the end of
any small stick of wood or if there is
none handy wrap It around the end of
a screwdriver or any other tool. Dip
the waste in the gasoline until it is
thoroughly soaked. Of course you
should have only a very small piece of
waste; otherwise the blaze will be too
big for you to handle. After dipping
this In the gasoline lay it close to the
spark plug and turn the engine over un
til this plug sparks. This will ignite
the waste and you will have a little
torch sufficient for lighting your lamp.
Even If there is a heavy rain or snow,
you can secure a light in this manner
sufficient for your needs.—Detroit Free

The government of Japan is not an

largely responsible to the parliament
and, to a degree, to the people back of
the parliament. Under the mikado is

princes of the blood and the nobility
and the representatives of the vested
interests, and the house of representa

members, representing the masses of
the people.—New York Journal.
