ART AND ARTISTS.

It may not be generally known that
much of the sculpture of ancient Athens
was originally painted in bright colors.
Avast establishment has just been dis
covered in Paris where false master
pieces of painting are produced. There
Is abundant evidence that the exporta-
ton of these pictures to America is q
great industry.
Henry Irving. who recently pleaded
the cause of the South London Fine Art
Gallery, has received from friend the
promise of gift of S., 900 in recognition
Of the fact of that art gallery being the

Indiana. So years old; he began life as a

The Pal Nall Gazette has made 3
calculation of the value Of some Of the
great pictures of the worlds collections
by inches. 1t states, ON the basis Of their
selling prices, that the Blenheim Raphael
in the National Gallery fetched $40 per
square inch: the Terburg, $120; the tiny
Correggio, $l45; etc. But Meissonier's
"1614" has brought $3.50 per square inch.
thus beating by $40 the inch Mr. Ruskin's
Meissonier, which was sold in London In
1889 for $50. .4JO. or $3.50 per square inch.

DEFERRED ANNUITY Bon DS.-The old
and strong Home Life Insurance Company,
whose advertisement can be seen in another
column of this paper, is introducing a novel
but practical plan in its Deferred Annuitv
Bond" This bond, which is now first intro
duced and offered only by the Home Life
gives an opportunity to secure contract for
an annuity, to begin st a specified future
day, the payments to provide for same being
made in equal installmeuts for 4 given num-
Der of years. All premiums will be returned
If death occurs during that time. No medi
cal examination is necessary, and dividends
of profits are cumulative. Young unmarried
men frequently object to the semi-tontine
plans because they are paying no small part
Of the premium Tor life insurance which thew
DO not desire. Upon the Home Life Deferred
Annuity Bond plan they are making prime
investment. A contract from the stanch Old
Home Life for the payment of an annuity is
as sterling an investment security as the
most conservative investor should ask for.
With the fall of interest rates annuities are
becoming more desired. Parents desiring to
provide for children can do so sensibly and
safely bT securing this liberal form of an
nuity. The many men who have, on account
OF physical disability or bad family record,
been prevented from securing lie insurance,
should obtain Deferred Annuity Bond. as
they are not required to pass any medical
examination, and can thus provide for later
periods of life when their physical condition
will prevent them from earning a living.
This much-needed bond, it must be remem-
bered, is not offered by any assessment con-
Germ, but by a company which stands in the
front rank of the old and strong life insur-
auce companies of the world.
