HINTS FOR COLLECTORS.
More Particularly for These Who Do Not
Have Too Much Money.

More Particularly for These Who Do NOT
Have Too Mach Money.
A few hints Of general character may
be useful to the collector whose khowl-
eige has not yet been bought in the
market of practical experience. Let
him avoid, in the first place, . servile
following of the fashion. Let him avoid
giving an extravagant price for any
thing. The shortness OF his purse Is
often an actual protection to the col
lector. 1t makes him use his wits and
gain that knowledge which his wealthy
competitor never attains to. Take
pictures, for example; the rich buyer
fills his gallery with what he is pleased
to consider masterpieces of art. He be-
gins in ignorance, and the dealers-the
whole crowd Of those whose business it
is to minister to his vanity and extract
his gold--take care that he shall never
learn more than they choose to teach
him. When he dies he leaves his col
lection to the nation, in the firm conf
dencc that the buildings in Trafalgar
SQUARE will be forthwith enlarged to ac-
commodate so priceless treasure in its
entirety. There would be little rest for
his troubled spirit could he learn that
the trustees have selected three or four
works out of many hundred as alone
worthy of place in the national collec-
ton.
The poorer collector, having devel-
oped faculty which stands him in the
stead of gold, builds up his fabric in a
more humble and tentative fashion.
Recognizing that great works OF great
men are not for him, refusing to look at
Raphaels or Correggios at any price, he
secures good works by unknown men,
contenting himself with slight sketches
studies and unconsidered tribes from
the studios of artists whose reputation
is established. Such works give him
nearly all the qualification that can be
derived from pictures, and, viewed as
investments, have a constant tendency,
as the anctioneer says when he tries to
elicit bid for some atrocious daub, to
grow into money."-Blackwood's Mag

The strong points of the dress Of the
present are suitability and appropriate
ness The toilet for the drawing-room
in no way resembles the gown suitable
for the promenade, and the woman who
confounds the one with the other finds
herself greatly ct variance with the
canons Of good taste and elegance which
happily prevail Just now. The extreme
caprice, the luxury and elaborateness of
home and evening toilets are finely
counterpoised by the rich and studied
simplicity Of those designed for the
street. The only fault Of the latter cos
tunes consists in the tendency to
lengthen the skirt, departure in the
wrong direction which can not be
checked too soon. For the rest, woman's
dress At home and abroad is just now
most commendsble. Draperies are easy,
and skirtS graceful, the ugly tournure
dead, the sleeves loose, and tight lacing

now dress to walk, row, play tennis and

houses and-the population of the town

Commander Manly, of the Soldiers
Home, one of the shining lights of the
new reform" administration, took his
position with great flourish of trum-
pets. But, as is always the case with n
man who cuts wide swath, Capt. Man
ly soon covered his entire field and his
work came to an abrupt termination.
His Job was beautifully brief. Excess
of zeal proved his destruction. As in
duty bound, he commenced to reform"
things as soon as his footsteps crossed
the threshold of the institution. So
long as he reformed" only Republi-
cans "all went merry as marriage
bell" but when he attempted to ire
form" Democrats, then came the di-
vorce. Capt Manly filed bill of di-
vorce from the position of commandment,
and the Board of Managers granted it
without argument. Here endeth the
first lesson Grand Rapids Tel. Herald.

party leaders, in session last week at
Topeka, Kansas, after discussing the
proposition made by the Democratic
state central committee to fuse with
them in the local county elections in
Kansas, this year, and to unite on an
electoral ticket in opposition to the
Republicans next year, declined to fuse,
and statement declaring against such
action was ordered published in the
alliance Advocate, the official state
organ. This is regarded as very signif.
icant in Kansas aud settles the fact
there will be no combine on presiden
tial electoral ticket by the Peoples and
Democratic parties next year, as was
the desire of the Democratic state cen.
trail committee. Leading Democrats
are very indignant at the independent
action of the Peoples party and now

The Peoria Daily Transcript says that
the Republican majority in Ohio will
be large, "but i'm order to make it over.
whelming the Hon. Roger q. Mills
should be induced to make few
speeches in that state" The Trans.
crtpt may rest assured that the Ohio
Democracy will do their best to keep
Mills out of the state during the cam
paign. They tried this Southern brig
adler act in 1887 by importing John b.
Gordon from Georgia, and the result
was that the state went overwhelming
" Republican. Gordon talked about
the war, but the people of Ohio didn't
like his version of the affair. If they
should get Mills he would talk about
the tariff and the Ohio people don't
look at that subject through the same
end of the telescope that he does, and
il is quite evident that Mr.. Mills will
not be invited to Ohio.
