AMONG THE STUDIOS.

James Henry Moser is yet in town, adding to
his already large store of water colors. He OK
poets to leave in few days for his usual sum-
mer resort among the Berkshire Hills. He is
very industrious, "improves each shining hour"
and expects to bring back good harvest of
work from nature.
Clarence +. Messer is busily engaged in the
study of NATURES summer attractions and beau
ties, working indoors only when the weather
will not permit of his going out or a portrait
that must be finished. He is an industrious
worker and very conscientious. He is enjoying
tolerably good health, and seems to have fully
recovered from his recent illness
Mr.. C. II. l.. Macdonald left last week with a
class of students for Luray, and will spend two
or three months in that delightful and pictu-
rescue vicinity studying nature, vegetable and
animal. He expects several brother artists to
join him later in the season. He is a capable
earnest artist, and has the faculty of being a
pleasant as we'll as intelligent imparter of the
knowledge of art mysteries.
Ernest H. Major is spending few weeks here
in his native city He is engaged in making
illustrations for the Century. He will leave
some portraits of the family of Professor Peter
Collier, formerly of the Agricultural Depart
ment. Mr.. Major is quite enthusiastic over the
Cowles Art School, of Boston, in which he has
charge of the life classes, and where he will re-
turn in October.
u. s. j. Dunbar is experiencing some of the
muscular part of his profession in that he is de-
veloping his strength in the roughing of the
Hendricks bust for the United States Senate.
He has the marble now at his studio in Vernon
Row, where he can finish 1T more at his leisure
Mr.. Dunbar has set aside all modelling for the
time being, wishing to finish the marble as soon
as possible. 1t is hoped he will receive the or
der from the court for his bust of Chief Justice
Waite, as it is so satisfactory to all those who
knew him. Mrs Waite has approved it at diff
ferent times, the last time saying she could not
see where it could be improved. Mr.. Dunbar
will take little trip after he finishes this work

Children suffer usually this season Of the year
from heat. They ofttimes very irritable. 1t

answer to the question which observation and

jective point being Casino Park, where all
prepa rations had been already effected. Music
was carried along, and there was singing by a
male quartette. The evening was beautiful and
the twenty-five guests all united in voting this
a fine affair. Mrs l. Cans (who was former
Chicagoan) presented Miss Rothschild with a
beautiful souvenir of the occasion, which was

If there ever was an overworked class of pub

swamped. The quarterly returns from 20, 900
post offices, the returns from 115,000 census
enumerators, the Agricultural Department re-
