Many and strange have'been the vi­ cissitudes of some of the world's great­ est pictures, and a fine painting which now graces Lord Leigh's residence in Warwickshire has an interesting his­ tory. This remarkable picture, which for some years consisted of a painting of flowers, was pronounced by an art dealer to be merely a mask for some other picture, and on his receiving per­ mission he gradually cleaned off the flowers, discovering underneath a very fine portrait of Charles I., by Vandyke. It is supposed that the portrait was thus disguised in order to save it from destruction by the Roundheads- at the time of the commonwealth. The Plaindealer will be sent to any addresson trial three months for twenty- five cents, and will be discontinued at the expiration of that time unless other­ wise ordered. Try it.

Doctor* mad Ccllbaer. There was once a time when doctors were doomed to celibacy. It was at the conclusion of the mediaeval period. _^4-Jwhen medicine was in the hands of the monks.
