Tho 8tory of Henry Irving' Portrait m Philip II. ; The queer npa i and downs of a pic tore, are. illustrated by the history of the portrait by Whistler of Henry Ir ving as PhUip IL of Spain, now hang ing in the Metropolitan museum, in New York. Whistler at a precarious period' of his career asked his friend Irving to sit to him for a portrait in the character in which Irving was TTBP The portrait i Irving, much pleas htetiei to let him bay Va 'price not too high varse.

What have we here? My congratulations, Henry the best picture in yotrr collection!" He never turned a hair. This picture after Irvmg's death brought $25,000 at auction in London, and we are lucky to have it here now. This was a legitimate advance in price, and the picture is worth it The few pounds that Irving paid was one of those for tuitous hazards of the auction room. Saturday Evening rjt. RED TAPE IN PRAGUE. Whi1 the Officials Wrangled the Mat ter Settled Itself. A delightful story of circumlocution comes from Prague. One of the least imposing ot the bridges in the city, the Liebner Brucke, connects two suburbs. Some time ago the toll col lector discovered that some rabbits had invaded the district and concluded that their borrowings might threaten the stability of the bridge, so he call ed the burgomaster's attention to the matter. The burgomaster decided thai i did not come -within his province, bat he sent the representation to the committee managing the public slaugh ter houses. The committee examined the rabbits and found they were wild, so they could do nothing, and as it was a close time the aid of the sportsman could not be Impressed. Still, they did not relieve them of their moral respon sibllity. The Prague slaughter house commit tee in turn informed the Stadtratproe sidium, but the matter was not within Its jurisdiction. Yet the stability of the bridge was beyond all things nee pessary, so the dossier was sent to the central authority for buildings. This body " went into the matter and con cluded that the water authority should deal with the subject But no; the water board opined that It was for the conservators of rivers, and this body decided that rabbits could not be brought within the domain of things fluvial and that the burgomaster was the right party to take action. The dossier having completed the circle of possible departmental travels, the bur gomaster decided to act He appoint ed a committee of investigation. The committee went to the bridge in four carriages, and then they learned that the rabbits had taken their departure for some months. Munchner Nach-richten. What the Death Mask Shows. The value of a plaster cast as a por trait of the dead or living face cannot for a moment be questioned. It must of necessity be absolutely true to na ture. It cannot flatter; it cannot cari cature. It shows the subject as he was or is, not only as others saw him in the actual flesh, but as he saw him self. And in the case of the death mask particularly it shows the sub ject often as he permitted no one but himself to see himself. He does not pose; he does not "try to look pleas ant" In his mask he is seen, as it were, with his mask off. An Itemized Bill. The departing guest according to a writer in the London Opinion, scruti nized his bill and exclaimed, "Look here, you charge for writing paper and I haven't used a scrap all the time I've been here!"

The Dire Prediction That Was Hurled at Them After a Due) In the Dark and. the Way. the Fateful Prophecy Became a Matter of History. Of all the French historical legends there is none more dramatic than that pertaining to "the four Henrys." The tradition; is that on a wintry night as the rain fell in torrents an old woman who passed in the country for a witch and who inhabited a miserable cabin in the forest of St Germain was aroused by a loud knocking at her door. She -opened it and saw a cava lier, who requested hospitality. A scrap of cheese and a morsel of black bread were all she set before him. "I have nothing more,- said she. "See, here is all that tithes, taxes, sub sidies and other extortions have left me to offer distressed travelers,, be-, sides which my neighbors call me a witch and rob me of the pBodoce of my little farm." ' " Tls a cruel situation,' said the young man. "and were X king of France I would suppress the taxes." "God bears - you," answered, the. old woman. The oavaOer was about to commence bis repast when a f cesh knock at the door restrained him. Again a gentle man, drenched with rain, demanded shelter. 1 "Is that you, Henry?" said the one. "It is, Henry." replied the other. The old woman discovered fpotn their conversation that they belonged to a numerous hunting party led by King Charles IX. and that they had been dispersed by a storm. "My good woman," said the seoood comer, "hare you naught else to offer 'us?" "Nothing," was the reply , "Well, then," said the other, "we must divide it" The first Henry gave signs of re fusal; but observing the resolute eye land haughty bearing of the second, he replied in a tone of chagrin? "Let us divide It then." They sat down opposite each other, and one had already commenced cut ting the bread with his dagger when a third blow was struck at the door. Again a young nobleman entered again a Henry. The meeting was most singular. The first Henry endeavored to hide the bread and cheese. The second re placed it on the table and set his sword by his side. The third Henry smiled. "What! Will you spare me none of your supper, then?" said he. ' "The supper," said the first Henry, "rightly belongs to the first comer." "The supper," said the second Henry, "belongs of right to him who knows best how to defend it" The third Henry colored and said haughtily, "Perhaps it rather belongs to him -who knows best bow to win it" At these words the first Henry drew his dagger, the two others their swords. They had scarce made a few passes when a fourth blow was beard at the door. The portal opened. A fourth Henry appeared. At the sight of the naked swords the last comer drew his own and. tak ing the weakest side, fought vigorously- ; The old woman, frightened, hid her self, and it was well that she did, for the swords dashed to pieces every thing that came in their way. The lamp fell, was extinguished, and all four fought in the dark. The noise of the swords lasted for some time, but gradually died away. Then the old woman crept out of her hiding place, relit the lamp and beheld the four combatants stretched on the floor. She examined them. Fatigue had over powered them more than loss of blood. They rose up one after another, ashamed of what they had done. "Come." said one; "let us now sup with good humor and without quarreling." But on looking for the supper they perceived it lying on the floor, soiled with their feet and stained with blood. The old woman, sitting in a corner, fixed her dark eyes on the authors of the mischief. "Why do you look at us in that man ner" demanded the first Henry. "I see your destinies written in your foreheads," answered the injured wo man. , The second Henry harshly command ed her to reveal them. The two oth ers laughed outright With outstretched arms the old wo man replied: "As you all four have been united in this cabin, you win all be reunited in one and the same des tiny. As you have trodden underfoot and soiled with blood the bread of hos pitality, you will trample underfoot and soil with blood the power of which you will partake. As you have impover ished and devastated thi dwelling, you will devastate and impoverish France. As you have all four been wounded in the dark, you will all perish by treason 'and a violent death." !
