4 A picture of lion skins, tiger and leopard
skins, flung along the floor and upon the
stairway Of an ancient Assyrian palace, of
graceful female efgures moving across these
savage rugs and half burying in them their
pink and sandalled feet, and Of children
gambolling in the distance upon soft hides
that had encircled terrible beasts, hangs,
or once hung, in the northernmost gallery
Of the Luxembourg. 1t illustrates the
uses to which the skius of wild animals
were put in those days of Ninevch, which
are 50 magnifcently revived for New York
in the spectacle of "Sardanapalus" s"-days
anterior by centuries to the time when
John the Baptist chad his raiment of
camels hair" in the wilderness of Judea.
An opposite painting represents the in
terror of the hall of one of the last of the
Saxon barons. Firelight and torches il
Illuminate it. Seated at banquet are
hundred Jarls, lifting glittering flagons to
a toast. From their gigantic shoulders
hang the skins of deers and bears The
hairy trophies of many chase lie in front
