"CHRIST ON CALVARY"

The subject of Munkaczy's new picture is
"Christ on Calvary" This solemn and
touching picture, says the Paris coTrespon-
dent of the London Times, which WILDE ex-
hibited at Easter, will certainly produce as
great an impression in the artistic world as
his "Christ before Plate" The two pic
lures will be exhibited alongside each other
and the public will be able 10 follow the
sequence Of the masters artistic thought.
The figure of Christ on Calvary is slightly
larger than that Of Christ before Plate.
The painter depicts the scene where the
Saviour has just expired. The sky is black
with clouds and streaked with lightning,
and beyond the horizon at Jerusalem the
veil Of the Temple is seen, rent il twain
Jesus Christ, pale il death, and inclining
forward, has given up the ghost. The CEN
;uron has dropped in terror beside the cross
Mary the mother, Oh her knees. is bathing
in tcals her sons feet. Mary Nagdalene,
her golden hair hanging loosely over her
shoulders, her face in her hands, Is also on
her knees before the cross. John, over
whclmcd with grief, is on the other side, and
Jewish woman looks on, a sad spectator Of
the CruCiXion.

caused the committee to make this
statement to the public de has gaiAed
a purpose. But while the committee
tell us there is only SIS to collect ON
last warrant they have ia led to inform
US how many dollars the constable has
been released from collecting, or how
much remains uncOlleCted from last
years warrant, as | am informed they
carry some warrants from two to three
years before releasing the constable.
| am Informed at each meeting of the
committee the constable is requested
10 come before the board and make Il
statement o. how much money he has
collected OH the warrant, issued per
haps three years ago, and how much
on last ami this Years warrant. The
constable may say: II have 10 to Is
names on the old warrant; 10 10 20 on
last years and perhaps from 20 to %
names on this years warrant" After
which the committee goes over the
names of delinquentS on each warrant
and says, ''IIere is Mr. A., what do
you know about him?' The consta-
BILE replies, II seen 8tr. \ and he
tells me that he is willing t. pay but
had not the money, but will pay after
while" The committee talks the mat
ter over and decide that they release
the constable OF that name, after
~lieh Mr.. +. is inquired after and dis
posed Of in a like manner, and it may
be during that sitting Of the board that
some 20 or more names on all the war
raIlts are stricken off as u~neollected,
which perhaps in the aggregate would
amount to $50, $50 or $40. To swell
the amount the constable is allowed
half fare OF perhaps jOcts per name on
those dropped or stricken off. This
added to the amount released would
add to the sum, perhaps $40 to Sl5
more. Now Mr., Editor add This to the
uncollected tax which the COMMITTEE
tells us is SIS and we find by addition
that tie amount is increased to nearly
one hundred dollars There is no sub
tracing for ''No. !" to do as the com
