Artistic Indifference,

| must mention a melancholy fact
which shows how Fictitious is the taste
Of the public for art, says Paris cor
respondent. People go in shoals to an
art exhibition when it is fashionable"
one; it is the proper thing then. 1t
seems that the exhibition of Barve's
works is not fashionable, for no one
goes to it; the entrance fees scarcely
amount to more than guinea q dav
Although the hall has been lent by the
Beaux Arts school, the expenses will
not be covered; and yet some of the
bronZes exposed are perfect master
pieces, worthy of Grecian art. Barve
is the first sculptor who ever modelled
animals as they really are. Before his
time people were satisfied with the
wigged lions, such as those that deco
rate Trafalgar square; triumphs of con-
ventionality, negations of truth. He
took the trouble to 60 to Jardin DIES
Plantes and study the living model
and although the king of tho desert
does not come ont to his full advantage
in a cage, still Barge modelled mar
velous things. He loved all wild ami
mals-even elephants, buffaloes, and
rhinoceroses, dogs, stays, roes, goats,
or even rabbits, serpents. izards-in
fact, all animals. But it is the custom
to consider as secondary the art of an
animal painter or animal sculptor and
poor Barge died in distress beside his
masterpieces. 1t is, however, some
consolation for his ghost to know that
Americans are covering. his bronzes
with gold; although it is shameful that
in his own land such indifference is
shown to his memory. 1t is said that
America will erect the statue of which
France does not deem him worthy.

In every community there are living wit

Piso's Cure for Consumption, We have not
claimed more than it can do Its standing in
the market also proves Its merit. We have
not published sensational notices; our adver-
tisements have been mere signs to indicate the
existence of PiSo's Cure for Consumption. In
stead of endeayoring to excite fear our pur-
pose has been to encourage hope.
Yet Piso's Cure for Consu nption stands to-
day al the head Of all medicines of its elias :,

skilled workers and improved ma chinery,
