ART NOTES.

The Sacramento School of Design closes
its fourth year on the 14th instant 1t
holds its annual reception and exhibition
on the evening of the 18th instant-invi-
tation only.
Collector, published by Alfred Trumble, has
made its appearance. 1t is bright, inter
esting, ably edited. There is room for
such a publication in this country. Mr..
Trumble's paper suggests in some respects
lie Guide de PAmdteur of Paris.
The entire collection of his own etch-
ings and sketches by the etcher Lalanne
has been acquired by Frederick Keppel,
who will show them later in the winter.
1t is said to certain many early and rare
prints by Whistler, Seymour Haden, and
other modern etchers, together with a
number of ancient prints of great value.
Keppeps gallery will open next month
with a little show of water colors bv
American artists.
The Art Guild, which was recently
formed in New York, works in some ways
as an insurance of paintings and sculptures
produced by the members. Agents of ex-
hibitions who apply to the Secretary, who
agrees to furnish a certain number of
works provided stated sum be deposited
as guarantee that unsold pieces shall be
returned in good condition. Heretofore
there has been great irregularity in the
return of works and much damage done to
frames and canvases during shipment, for
which the artists could not obtain dam
ages.
A hitherto unknown painting by Leon
ardo di Vinci has just been placed in the
gallery of the Pinakothek in Munich.
Considering the very small number of
Leonardo's paintings, this discovery, If
genuine, is of inestimable value. The
picture was bought not long ago for
TWENTY-FIVE marks at an auction in a small
town in South Germany, and the buyer,
who little dreamed that he was the pos
SCISSOR of Leonardo, sold it at a good
profit to the Pinakothek, which has had it
we'll restored by A. Hauser. 1t represents
Mary with the infant Jesus in a room,
through the window of which one sees a
billy landscape. The Madonna, somewhat
life-size, is visible down to the knees On
one side stands glass with flowers. The
picture is believed to be one of the earliest
works of the great master. Mary's head
i very like that in a famous drawing in
the Palazzo degli Ufizii, which is believed
to be study for Leonardo's smaller pic
ture of the "Annunciationn at the Louvre.
The drapery and coloring, and the draw.
| ing of the hands and flowers, remind one
wildly OF the splendid large "Annuncia-
ton" in the Palazzo degli Uffizii. Some
parts of the picture, especially the admir-
ably drawn child, seem unfinished, while
Others, notably the landscape, are almost
perfect. 1t may be inferred from this that
Leonardo left this picture, like most Of
his paintings, unfinished, and that his fell
low pupil, Lorenzo di Credi, finished it as
best he could.

FAMILIARITY WITH ACTORS.

Theatergoers are quite apt to speak of
actors whom they like in very familiar
way, and this is true particularly asregards
comedians and leading men. One very
rarely hears Charles R. Thorne, Jr, spoken
of by the people who were patrons Of the
Union Square Theater in the old days, but
"Charley" Thorne is mentioned freely by
playgoers who never saw the owner of the
name off the stage. "Charlie" Bowser,
the comedian who is starring in "Cheek"
this season-he was also at the Union
Square Theater.. ten years ago-says that
this familiarity in the mention of an
actors name i, an index of his popularity.
He spent the past summer at the Hanil-
ton House in Stamford, and as there were
number of other stage people at the
house, the proprietor thought it would be
good stroke of business to induce them

THE HORSES FOOT.
Corns and uow to Treat Them-U5e OF
the Frog.

Corns and How to Treat Them-Usc OF
the Frog.
If a horse is supposed to have a corn.
let the shoe be removed; the inside
quarters of one or both forefeet upon
being pared will show streaked, in
famed appearance. The horn will be
soft ana more spongy than other por-
tions Of the hoof In bad or long-neg-
lected cases, if you follow the corn
with the knife you will come to sup
puration. In all such cases one invari-
able condition is found-the horse
stands upon thic5-heeled shoe and the
frog of the hoof can not touch the
ground. The whole weight Of the
horse rests, not upon its natural, elias
tie support, bat upon long. horny heels
and iron. This condition is a violation
OF natural laws, and corn is the
first and most easily-managed conse-
quence The smith, whose ignorance
OF the anatomy of the organ he has
disabled, is the sole cause of the
trouble. "cuts out the corn" and
attributes the difficulty to weak
feet, hard pavements, or gives any
excuse he thinks may answer for the
moment, and puts on, perhaps, a bar
shoe He can not tell why he puts
on a bar shoe, but he knows il will
give temporary relief, aud the relief
is in thi wise-the bar must rest upon
the frog. and the heels cut away to al
low it TO do so. This, by clumsy
contrivancc OF heavy iron, is getting a
part Of the relief that nature demands.
The true relief is in such a system OF
shoeiHg as viii preserve the natural
action Of the foot The natural action
is with low heel, to have the frog OF
the foot strike full upon the ground
and press upward, against the down
ward action of the coffin bone, just as
a spring acts when a weight is thrown
pom it.
The horses hoof, continues the au-
hority quoted, is simply boot; in
side OF it is a true foot. The frog is
only part of the hOof that has nerv-
Gus connection with the living tissue
inside the horn. just above the frog
is the sensitive frog, and on this rests
the coffin bone. The vascular bone Is
connected with the hoof by elastic
lamina, and moves in the hOOf by the
action of the horse, having its natural
rest upon the frog. If the horse stands
upon rim of iron, the center of the
hoof is unsupported; the points of the
pressure are under each wing of the
coffin bone. From lack Of action the
frog dries up and loses its functions;
the sensitive frog sympathizes in this
condition. Gre llation and secretion
are lessened. There is more or less
fever, probably not perceived by the
groom. or, if perceived, he ''stuffs' the
feet, Inflammation begins at the points
of pressure under the wings of the
coffin bone and the horse has a corn.
The cure of this defect is obvious when
the cause is stated; it is to shoe so that
the horse viii invariably stand upon
his frog This must be secure by the
use of a shoe that will admit no other
bearing. No horse can travel safely
without the use Of the frog. Whip and
