A Rare Find in Baltimore.

A few days ago Mrs. Andrew Reid,
Jr., of Mount Vernon place, who is a
native of France, and whose brother is
an artist in Paris, made one of the rich
est art discoveries that has ever come to
light in Baltimore Mrs Reid is a great
lover of art and knows good picture
when she sees one. For long time she
has been in the habit of hunting through
secondhand stores for old paintings.
Several days ago, by chance, she walked
into a store on North Charles street.
There she saw dilapidated looking old
picture, which represented the head of a
French peasant. At first she did not
pay much attention to the picture, but
went on to examine the other old things
in the store. By chance she returned to
the picture, and it struck her as being a
remarkably fine piece of art work. She
turned it over and looked on the back,
and there was the artists name. Before
her was one of the most valuable pictures
in Baltimore.
She Immediately called the dealer and
asked the price of the picture. He stag
gered her by asking twenty dollars. She
paid the price, took the picture home
with her, and now it cannot be bought
for less than thousands.
1t was rich find, truly, as there are
only two other pictures in Baltimore by
the same artist. The picture is by Jean
Baptiste Greuze, and on the back of it
is Jean Baptiste Greuze, 1925 to 1905"
Mr.. William T. Walters owns one of the
pictures, for which he paid big price,
and Mr.. Leonce Robillon owns the other.
Mr.. Walters viewed Mrs. Reds picture
yesterday and pronounced it genuine.
He says it is worth thousands of dollars.

Smuggling a Painting Out of Italy.

If usually well informed correspond
ent is correct, this is how the famous
picture Of Caesar Borgia, sold for 800, oo0
francs 10 the Rothschild family by
Prince Borghese, was sent out OF Rome.
a coating OF wax was laid over the IA
nous Cesar, and an artist painted the
portrait of Pope Leo XIII on the wax.
Ii was then dispatched TO It's Partisan
destination. the coating Of wax carefully

was caused by increasing strain due To an
approaching storm. The kites, which
Were at a great height, wavered, turned
partly aside, and started down rapidly.
But they were 50 very high that the
length and weight OF the Irvine which they
were dragging delayed their descent.
They caught the wind again just as the
broken END of the Irvine was drawn up
into a line of telegraph wires, becoming
fastened TO them at a height of about fifty
feet above the ground Then the kites
came up and flew perfectly, held by the
telegraph wire in which the Irvine yet re-
manned entangled and out Of reach

broke loose again, and away they went
toward the shore of the Kill Won kull. The
long string. which soon began TO trail
through the water some distance of the
shore, was broken by passing boat. thus
throwing the lower OF the two kites into
the water Il sank and was not recovered.

The Army and the Church.

The Austrian war minister has issued
an order to encourage religious feeling
in the army. He finds that Austrian
soldiers do not attend divine service &C
cording to the regulations. Inasmuct
as the encouragement of religious feel

military, the army must henceforth &C

wise, young officers in command al

more reverential spirit than has been

4 NEW VERSION OF AN OLD HYMN

When the last faint ray has shone,
Matthew, Mark and Luke and John,
Bless the bed rest upon.
Pray that sins with work may cease,
Grace this kindly time increase,
Pray, Evangelists of Peace.
Music of your spell suggest
Thoughts to linger in my breast,
Till they charm my heart to rest.
Jesus Face, which love can find
Fair in Holy Writ enshrined,
Light the vision of my mind.
So shall not sleep in death
Though your true Evangcl saith
must breathe my final breath.
Then wrapped in my winding sheet
Prayers for me once more repeat,
Holy Four at head and feet.
Bid my soul glad release,
Bid her rest that shall not cease,
Lovely Messengers of Peace.

A Mistaken Idea.

/ remember hearing the story of an
Irishman, who, soon after landing, seized
pig and killed it. Before he could have
it cooked the owner of the pig had him
arrested as thief. The poor fellow pro-
tested in vain that he supposed America
was a free country, where everything be
longed to anybody who wanted it. He took
tine pig to eat because he was hungry, aud
therefore had right to it. Notwithstand-
ing, he had to pay for the creature, with
out the privilege of eating it.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

HYsh Prices for Old Silver

One of the most remarkable sales of
old silver ever held was at Edinburgh
lately. 1t included pieces belonging to
the late Earl of Dunmore and the Serv-
ice of St. Martins abbey in Perthshire.
Several pieces were bought on commits
sion from New York. The highest price
ever obtained for old silver, eighty dol
lars an ounce, was given for an early
Italian double handled cup and saucer,
$500 being the price. The highest price
heretofore had been fifty dollars an
ounce.-London Letter.
