Louisiana State Exhibit.

We must again call the attention of the
people of Louisiana to the necessity of
having fine State exhibit ut the Expo
sition. There is much to be done Yet in
order to secure this and little time i'm
which to do il, and the delinquent par
ishes will have to work earnestly ii we
wish to have q complete dlsplay-one
that will fully cover the resources and
Industries of Louisiana.
+ Not an article that the State produces
should escape attention. Everything
should be placed ON exhibition here. 1t
must be remembered that the exhibit is
being made, not for ourselves alone, but
for the millions Of visitors coming here
from other States aud countries. They
come from regions far away, different in
climate, different in products from our
own, SO that many articles which have
become uninteresting and monotonous to
us from having been seen so often will
probably prove of the deepest interest to
others, to whom they will he novelties.

ancient days. This State boasts of an
older civilization than any of its neigh
bors, and there ought to be some relics of
that civilization that will be attractive
and charming to Our visitors.
But it is scarcely necessary to dwell on
this point. We know that Louisiana has
as many articles worthy of exhibition ut
the Exposition rs any other State in the
Union. All that is necessary is to get
them together in n collective State dis

properly canvass and work up their par

ART.
The Chase Collection of Etchings.

Unusual Interest is being manifested in the
forthcoming exhibition of needle work and
embroidery which opens on the 23i inst. at the
rooms of the Art Club on Deering Place Sew
eral very choice specimens of old work have
already been promised, and doubtless when the
exhibition opens our people will find one of
the most interesting collections the society has
shown. Work should be sent in at as early
date as possible in order that suitable provis-
ion may be made for its proper cara and dis
play. Choice old or delicate specimens that
would be injured easily will be put under glass
and every other precaution for safety taken
For the further information of those who NAV
think of contributing, we will say that all
kinds of work win be received, it being the
design of the society to make the exhibition as
complete in all branches as possible.
Lovers of fine works of art will find in the
gallery of Mr.. Stubs store, No. 59S Congress
street, an interesting sequence to the choice
exhibition of water colors recently held there,
in the shape of a more than ordinary collec-
ton of etchiDgs from the portfolios of Mr.. J.
Eastman Chase of Boston, in charge of Mr.
Sloane, of that firm. Chief among them are
those of Munkascy's "Christ before Plate"
etched by Waltner, and "Millet's Sower' by
Maris, which are interesting not only as repro
ductions of these pictures of world wide cele-
brity, but as royal specimens of the etcher's
art. While the Mnnkascy is perhaps the most
important of the two, the Millet is unique
from the fact that the artist who etched it
learned the art in order to make this plate He

find that when placed upon the press it would
give but 1919 impressions, owing to the extre ne
delicacy of the bitten lines
Another fine artists proof, an unusually fine
one by the way, is Clrauvels reproduction OF
Corot's "Willows" very delicately executed
plate regarded by many conaoisssur5 as the
best of all the numerous.reproduction of Corot's
paintings, giving in marked degree the i'm
preston of delicate color so characteristic of
the work of that great modern painter.
Hanging near by are two prints of Millet's
"Gleaners' the smaller being by Millet him
self who occasionally etched his pictures. In
addition to the above are many others by cele-
brated etchers which are nearly equally i'm
portant with those named above; among them
Seymour, Haden's, Greenwich" and "Shere
Millpond," the latter being regarded by Ham
merton as one of the best specimens of etch-
ing extant in it's particular line. All those
who are interested in this branch of art should
not fail to visit Mr.. Stubs gallery before the
exhibition closes ION Saturday next as such a
collection of unusual excellence is rarely plac-
e1 on exhibition outside the large art centres
MIR. Sloane will as cheerfully show and explain
the points to those who do not come with the
intentionof purchasing as those who do.
