A CORNER FOR ARTISTS.

PAINTING in oil was invented in
Bruges by John Van Eycb in l410.
SIR JOHN NILLAIs exhibited his first
picture in the Academy when he was
only seventeen years old.
THE Raphael portrait Of Caesar Borgia
has been brought from Prince Borghese
by A. de Rothschild for G00.00 francs.
A cory of the celebrated picture of
Geese" in the Ghizeh museum, stated
by Psychologists to be the most ancient
specimen of painting yet discovered,
is now on exhibition at South Kensing-
ton museum, London. Eng.
Mrs. STANLEY delights to give the
freedom of her studio to any distin-
guished painter who may happen to be
the guest of the house, and many of
them have painted rough sketches
about the walls, doors and window
panes, adding greatly to its attractive
ness.

age to pass that ball Of fre-if he could

was?
1t really was Is ball Of FIRE or a very
round brand Of fire not in the road but
just beside it where good Mrs. Lunn had
been making soap beside the little brook
and had not put ont the fire just then
when he was thinking how foolish he
had been ne saw the dark animal APP
preaching by the faint light Of the fire
he at once recognized-not a witch but
his own dog Carlo who had come to
meet him aud at his first word came
bounding 70 him. lie supposed that he
acted so queer that the dog was fright
ened and 50 did not jump on him as
usual After he was older he used to
say that it was his own guilty con
science that he was afraid Of and that
was the reason he did not know his
dog, but he never could tell how the
dog always came from towards home,
but it was probably because he could
not see its eyes shining, and 50 did not
notice him going the other way.
Il hope that you are all too wise to
believe in anything SO silly as witches,
but remember that a naughty act win
make one coward many times when II
they had done right they would not

many times when one is walking
in the dark they viii see something that
