Sure said, Heaven did not mean
Where reap thou shouldst but CLEAN;
Lay thy sheaf adown and come,
Share my harvest and my home.

And this is what comes of appropriating
"Gleanings" for name. Also this, which one
finds anew 10y reading the book of Ruth

Hence, We reckon, we get the expression
If so much 'to boot" when one receives
something over and above the mere terms of
his bargain Why mott? With all its hard
ness of heart and too general and apparent
materialism, San Francisco is fast becoming
a centering place of the gentler influences of
culture and art. The movement toward a
free library there meets with much real en-
thusiasm on all Sides there are thousands of
quiet homes where the hurry burly and noise
of life seldom penetrate; and there is a rapid
ly growing love of and taste in the arts of
painting and sculpture. A skilled painter is
sure of handsome encouragement there. Hill
and Keith rank with the foremost American
landscape painters; Toby Rosenthal, although
he chooses TO stay III Dusseldorf, is none
the less a San Francisco artist; Tavernier,
Denny. Brookcs, Virgil Williams, Rix, Nor
ton Bush, Yelland, these all stand deservedly

latest and best efforts of these and other
artists. Keith, especially, is doing some
wonderful landscape painting. Hill must
look to his laurels, In a room by themselves
are many marine studies by the late James
Hamilton, and a collection of the relics of the
studio of the late Charles Nahl. Poor Ham

almost priceless, One in particular, a wild
beach scene, with the storm-breakerS pouring
in upon the strand i'll magnificent fury, is,
in all respects, the grandest thing of its kind
we have ever seen. Nahl brought the full
training of a thoroughly educated German
artist to San Francisco, many years ago.
Some of his work, notably that which he ex-
pended in devices for Pioneer and Firemens
certificates surpasses anything of the sort ever
produced in the United States The peculiar
coloring Of Nahls paintings render them
objects of study and criticism; but no one

such delicious weather as we are all blessed

taking into account the sum-total of radiant
