The earlier monarchs and thelr queens are well represerited on the walls. The visitor beholds Zuc- caro's Jamesl. and Van Somers Anne of Denmark; Charles'T, after Van Dyck much as the King Jooks from canvases i owned by the Duke of Norfolk and the 1 of Pembroke, and Henrietta Maria, from Van Dyck; Greenhills Charles IL, in Garter robes, and Dirk Stoop's Catherine of Braganza in Por- found favor with Englishmen just fifty ago. During that period our ational! Portrait Gallery at St. Mar- tin's-in-the- Fields has grown to be one ¢f the sights of London. It has many artistic treasures, but interest concen- trates on the subjects, likenesses of the makers of*our history, social, political, and intellectual, writes W. E. C, in Rioyd@s Weekly. Students desirous of following the | historic sequence of the examples should at once ascend to the highest gallery and Inspect downwards to the others. In enumerating the most im- portant works a principle of selection Wil} be the combination of historical fnporiance with artistic attraction. Occasionally the latter feature must Be passed, as in the quaint, small, full fength of Chaucer. It is very old, most Hkely copled from a miniature, the or- whence n 12 fnauy other in in "thinster Abbey; and the Richard IIL toying with his finger ring has a note of veracity in it from the sinister ex- pression In the eyes, ably given. In these cases, as In others when the ar- | tist's name Is unmentioned, it must be interred that the painter is unfixed or unknown. In the topmost chambér the walls @re rich with memorials of the Tudors &nd distinguished personages of the epoch. Henry VIL, a bust portrait traced by a Flemish hand, somewhat small, full of fine co.or, is not to be easily forgotten, for the astute, even wily, look in the eyes. The painting is fine, look In the eyes. The painting fe fine, particularly of the hand. "Bluff King Hal" appears thrice, each exam- ple indicating obdurate and sensual @haracter; all of the Holbein school-- Hteral and «forcible. Three of the rul- er's wives can be seen, Catherine of 'Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Howard, the last portrait being finely preserved. Intellectual Interest gath- ers around Wolsey, In scarlet robe, dnd Thomas More--about the cardinal # only for bullding Hampton Court end founding the magnificent Christ Church, Oxford; in the Chancellor as a martyr for religious principle and writing "Utopia." Its author, with his pale, ascetic visage, is painted in the Holbein manner. Queen Mary Tudors fhce can only excite sympathy from its pa'lor and air of dejeation, to which the countenance of her sister, Eliza- Beth, offers strong contrast in its bril- Nant complexion and animated eyes, set off by the hair of rich auburn. the several likenesses of "Good Queen perhaps the most interesting is | the miniature by Nicholas Hilllard The Queen's love of fine costume and costly ornamen! makes Itself felt throughout. * t godly and Royal child, King Edward the Sixth, the flower of the Tudor name, eroppéd as it began to fill our land with its early odors," to quote Charles Lamb, appears as a child, and when older In a landscape picture, once own- ed by Charles L Edward's cousin, Lady Jane Grey, meets the eye In, prob- Wbly, the dress she wore at her trial | The | and when undergoing execution picture was painted by Louls D'Heere. During the sway of these monarchs, | covering the period 1486-1603, the glory of: England was enhanced by wonder- ful genius and patriotism. Many of their children are here commemorat- wd by the artist, from the gallant and d@ccomplished Henry Howard, who as poet celebrated the beauty of the "fair Geraldine," to Shakespeare, whosyp quiet eye regards the onlooker fi Droeshon't engraving. There . gre portraits of William Cecil, first Baron Burghley, the great pontical Minister, in his Garter robes, probably by Mar- cus Gheeraedts; Bishop Jewel; Arch- bishop Cranmer, by F.cclus; High Latimer and Nicholas Ridley. the Pro- testant martyrs; Raleigh, soldier," most likely from the brush of | Zuccaro; Sir Nicholas Bacon, who he'd | the Great Seal in Elizabeth's time; Van Bomer's full-length standing figure of his son, Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, $n hat and black gown, gold embrold- | ered, a man whose imperial intellect did more for scientific inquiry than any preceding author; and George Buchanan, one of the greatest of Latin- ists. Associated with this epoch are three splendid pictures. One is Miere- veldt's half-length, in armor, of Wrio- thesley, third Farl of Bouthampton, statesman and. patron of letters, im- mortal by our master poet's dedication of "Venus and Adonis." Next is An- | tonfo More's riveting Sir Thomas Gres- ham, the "Merchant Royai," in sump- tudus black velvet, who founded the first Royal Exchange and the collcge Vearing his honored name still busy in | the cause of culture, of | untimely | "Elizabeth's | Liley's James IL, de- scribed as "the man who lost three kingdoms for a mass, a standing fig- ure fn armor; 'and Wissing's Mary of Modena. The last reigning Sovereign of the dynasty, Anne, daughter of James when Duke of York and Anne Hyde, daughter of the Earl of Clar- endon, appears In a picture by Clos- terman, in coronation robes, crowned and bearing the orb and sceptre. In looking at the earlier work in the gallery it must occur to the ordinary observer that native art did not strike root until the advent of Hogarth. The first portraitists in our country were Holbein, Moora Zuccaro, D'Heere, My- tens and Van Somer, who created a school of followers. Then came Van Dyck, Lely, and later Kneller, who carried, out their methods. Dob- sop and Robert Walker were the ex- coptions, \ how ~ and who were engaged in | the great rats A Gwen Charlesand the Parliament? We can see Straf- ford, his hand resting on his dog, more faithful than the weak King; Waller, the Parliamentary general; Cromwell, the armed soldier and unerowned King of Puritans; the flery Rupert, and Mil- ton from the life, traced by the graver of Falthorne. !

Prominent among the mem- orials of Queen Anne's time are Knel- ler's John Churchill, Duke of Marlbor- ough, and his Duchess, nee Sarah Jen- nings, the husband and wife alike fas- cinating In face and mien. I The Victorian portraits may be in- troduced by naming that of her late Majesty as represented by Sir George | Hayter, throned in Dalmatic robes on the occasfon of her coronation in 1838. The work, like Winterhatter's full- length of the Prince Consort, was Queen Victoria's gift to the nation. Among likeneses of the Victorian pre- miers are Melbourne, Peel, Russell, Palmergton, Disraeli, and Gladstone. Lowes Dickenson's Richard Cobden and Ouless"s John Bright commemor- ate the two great apostles of Free Trade and the champions of untaxed Press. Great scientists of the reign are represented in Philllp's Faraday, Pickersgill's Sir Richard Owen, and Samuel Laurence's Sir Charles Wheat- stone, who first applied the electric telegraph to public use. The chief poets | are seen In Watt's Tennyson, Xleh- mann's Browning, . and Watt's Mat- Thete also can be seen Machse's graceful Dickens, master hu- | morist of the century; and Boehm"s masterly statuette of Thackeray, the | thew Arnola finest satiric painter of manners since | Fielding | Most valuable historical examples will be found in several scenic pieces, all giving collective portraiture. Among | them can be seen | Plot Conspirators," by Van der Passe "The Guympowder engraved from life "Meeting of a Com- mittee of the House of mmons &at the Fleet Prison, 1729," frgm the brush | of Hogarth; "Interior of ghe Old House of Commons in St. Stephen's Chapel, 1798," painted by Kast Hickel; and Hayter's "Interior of the House of | Lords in August, 3820, during the dis- cussion of the BJM to Dissolve the Mar- riage between orge the Fourth and | Caroline of Brunswick." There is al- | 80 the sagme painter's large work, "In- | terior pf the old House of Commons duripg the moving of the address to the Crown at the meeting of the first |Reformed Parllament In February, 1833." But the finest of all these pic- tures is Gheeraedts's "Interior of old Somerset House and Conference of | English and Spanish Plenipotentiaries | in 1604," marked by extraordinary ela- | boration and finish. Novel Sport In England. A feature of village life in the dis- trict of Tunbridge Wells, says an Eng lish newspaper, is the promotion of clubs for sparrow and rat shooting dur- ing the winter months. The members { hola monthly meetings when "bags" are counted and points awarded for prizes. Remarkable success has at | tended the clubg this witer. The Hart. | field Club's record for the past month was 685 sparrows and 348 rats, while the Penhurst Club brought in 896 heads | and talls, making a total of 4,722 for | the season. Deep Diamond Mines. Prof. Henry Miers, In lecturing to a Londen audience recently, sald that there was no knowledge of the depth [to "which the South African diamond mines could 'be worked. The deeper they go the richer they become. Work can be carried on now to a depth of 2,600 feet. It is thought that it might Then there is be continued to a depth of 5,000 or @heeraedts' representation of the beau- | even 10,000 feet, if the engineering dif- tiful Mary Sidney, Countess of Pem- broke, "Sidney's sister," of whom Wil- Ham Browne wrote in her epitaph that before Death could slay another so fair, learned, and good, Time should throw a dart at him.

Western Australia is probably the only part of the British Empire that has carried Socialism to the length of building and mapaging state hotels. From the annual report and balance sheet recently presented to the local Parliament it appears that state drinks are 26 cents a glass. There was a loss of $4,250 on the house acceunt, which apparenty means the boarding branch of the business, but on the operations as a whole there was a profit of $2,600.

A friend of mine recently suffering under a great bereavement was in the such right note. Among pages of HE ! al and religious commonplace two mes- | sages alone touched the heart. | "He was a man I loved. I am with you In your grief," was one. | 'The other ran: "You have lost your | best pal. He was mine too. God help us both." Both of them epitomized the senders ~ meg with great hearts. But the ac- quisition of tact by some of the other sympathizers would have supplied its place. Agaln, paying an afternoon visit re- cently, my hostess, wanting a book to which our conversation had referred, | rang the bell. Within two minutes the servant appeared with tea, and the fol- lowing colloquy occurred: "Who told you to bring tea?" "Please, ma'am, I thought that was what you rang for." "Well, please don't think.
