Advance In the Value of Pictures.

At the sale of the art collection of the
late Mime. Denain, once famous actress
of the Theatre Francois, a comparison of
prices with those obtained at the auction
of the Didier collection in 1868. from
which most of the paintings, etc.,
brought to the hammer were derived, is
most instructive as showing the wonder
full variations in the value attached to
masterpieces of art. Thus 1.-THE Four
Seasons Prudhon) brought $4,000
francs, against $500 francs in 1868; a
portrait of Nine. de Sombreval and of
her son (Nattier), 4O,7O0 francs, against
5000 francs; a portrait of Rembrandt (by
himself), 10000 francs, against 1000
francs; 1.-The Rainbow 9Th. Rousseau,
1850 francs, against 4,700 francs; ga
Riverside View" Bonington), 1850
francs, against 4.200 francs; 1.-The Recon
ciliation" Fragonard), 1920 francs,
against 1,450 francs; portrait of Mile.
Olivier (Greuze), $4,000 francs, against
$500 francs; portrait of a Monk Con-
fessor Rubens), 1880 francs, against
1000 francs; "a Forest Landscape"
Diaz), 1850 francs, against 5000 francs.
On the other hand, a few works by
Prudhon and Decamps were knocked
down at prices far below those obtained
in 1868. and a portrait of girl by We
lasquez, presumably his daughter, was
sold for 10000 francs, against 1900
francs at the Didier sale.-London Tele-

Where Pianos Are Taxed.

Pianos are taxed in Elizabeth and some
folk l know are very wrathy thereat
think that by taxing pianos Elizabeth
has placed itself in the very van of En-
hghtment with the big E, for mark, aft
er all, it is not the instrument but the
player thereof that must pay the tax. If
the principle that warrants the tax is
faulty in any particular, it is in the fact
that the tax is not graded according to
the skill or want of skill of the player
Had l my way would tax certain pianos
in this city S1O0 a year, and there are
others that l would report to the board
of health as nuisances that cried to
heaven for abatement. If Paderewski
would come to town with a piano or to
play on an instrument already here, !
would exempt it from taxation.
l bless without mental reservation
that law giver whose wisdom devised
the tax upon pianos. He should have a
monument beside which the figure of
Liberty in the bay would be but a
pygmy. He has perhaps the maledic-
tions of half the piano torturers in
town, but Il honor him for the enc
mics he has made" for the pianists he
has suppressed. l contend, however,
that the tax should be assessed not ac-
cording to the value of the instrument,
but according TO .he skill of the player
The method l suggest would be most
equitable, it seems to me, and would go
far toward meeting all the expenses of
the city government N.J.)

Memories of 1871.

On the last week in May each year the
French socialists are acc Istomed to cell
ebrate the ''bloody week." which wit
messed the downfall of the Paris COM
mune in 1871, the killing of 5000 of the
inhabitants and the exiling of $4,000
others. As early as 1880, under the lead
ership of Gambetta and the moderate
Republicans, a general amnesty was
voted, with only five or six exceptions,
to the participants of the commune. 1t
is significant also that many of the mu-
nicipal regulations which the commu-
nists demanded We're afterward granted
by the chamber of deputies.
Bloody week" began on Sunday, May
81, when the Versailles troops entered
Paris by a breach in the fortifcation
wall which the national guards had neg
lected to defend. They came in by the
Bois de Boulogne. and terrible street
fights continued daily until on the fol-
lowing Sunday, May %, Marshal Nc
Mahon was in full possession of the city
and declared the commune at an end.
On May % the Versailles troops cap
tured the Central Market halls and
threatened General Bergeret, who was
stationed at the Tuileries. He was
forced to retire, blowing mp and burning
the Tuileries as he left, but managed to
save the Louvre. which some of his fol-
lowers wished also to destroy. The
fighting was mostly done by national
guardsmen against heavy odds and re-
suited in fearful slaughter: hence the
week has obtained its name.-New York

Cheerful Even In Death.

At dinner some time ago jolly old
astronomer related the following story
about departed friend, Mr.. F.:
Mr.. F. was such a good natured man
that the approach of death itself could
not disturb his peace of mind and ap-
probation of humor. He lay dying, and
his poor wife was nearly worn out with
anxious watching. She was so tired that
by mistake she gave her husband instead
of the doctors medicine dose from the
castor oil bottle. When she discovered
her mistake, she was almost frantic. She
summoned the doctor at once and await
ed his coming with fearful eyes and Bit
ter self reproach. The doctor came and
assured her that no particular harm
could have been done; that her hus-
band was dying, and medicine could not
save him now. Still the poor woman
wept and grieved.
The doctor tried to comfort her, but to
no purpose. If she had only given the
medicine and not the oil, perhaps her
dear husband might have got better.
She had killed her dear husband killed
her dear husband. The doctor began to
argue, when the dying man spoke up:
"Never mind, doctor. I've had my oil.
Let her have her blubber. Washing

Roses All the Year Round.

Splendid as the blooms of the June
ones are. we want roses all summer long.
hence have to look to the teas, Chinas,
Bourbons and similar ones to give them
to us, and they won't disappoint us.
Summer roses, as we call them, bloom
from first to last, giving us their small
er, though sweet scented, flowers until
freezing weather comes. When the cool
nights of fall come, they make glorious
display of flowers, allowing of the cut
ting of many bouquet. The we'll
known Hermosa. Louis Philippe, NAL
maison and Agrippina are members of
this class. Other good representatives
are Appoline, Edward Desfosses, Louise
Oder, Bougere, Caroline Marniesse, Ho-
mer, Gloire de Dion, Nine. de Vatry,
Souvenir dun Ami, Marie Ducher and
Sombrieul. These are all hardy in this
latitude with but little protection, and
in many places with no protection at all

Theory About Bee Stin-s.

1t is fact not generally known that if
one holds his breath wasps, bees and
hornets can be handled with impunity.
The skin becomes stingproof and hold
ing the insect by the feet and giving her
full liberty of action you can see her
drive her weapon against tie impene-
trable surface with force which lifts her
body at every stroke, but let the small
est quantity of air escape from the lungs
and the sting will penetrate at once. !
have never seen an exception to this in
25 years observation. l have taught
young ladies with very delicate hands to
astonish their friends by the perform
ance of this feat, and l saw one so
severely stung as to require the services
of physician through laughing at a
witty remark of her sister, forgetting
that laughing required breath. For a
theory in explanation l am led to be-
lieve that holding the breath partially
closes the pores of the skin. My expert
ments in that direction have not been
exact enough to be of any scientific value,
but am istied that it very sensibly
affects the mount of insensible perspira-
tion.-Science.

The Well of Frozen Air,

Near Dayton, Or, there is a well To-
cally known as the "well of frozen air."
In drilling it stratum of frozen clay
and gravel was encountered at depth of
55 feet. After passing through five feet
of this numerous cavities were encoun-
tered from which cold air came with
sharp gusts. The escape of the air from
the well may be heard distance of
nearly 200 yards, and it is so frigid that
it is not possible for any one to hold his
hand over the opening for more than a
few minutes without having it frozen
stiff. A bucketful of water set near the
mouth of the well will freeze through
during one nights time. 1t is needless
to add that work on the well was aban-
doned as soon as these frigid blasts found
vent through the opening made by the
drill. Philadelphia Press.

The Story of David Copperfield." "

Some interesting facts connected with
Dickens David Copperfeld" have been
revealed by Charles Dickens, the young
er. II have" he says, my mothers au-
thority for saying-she told me at the
time of the publication of Mr.. Fosters
first volume and asked me to make the
fact public if after her death an oppor-
tunity should arise-that the story was
eventually read to her in strict conf
dence by my father, who at the time in
timated his intention of publishing it by
and by as portion of his autobiogra-
ply. From this purpose she endeavored
to dissuade him, on the ground that he
had spoken with undue harshness of his
father and especially of his mother, and
with so much success that he eventually
decided that he would be satisfied with
working it into David Copperfeld.'

LOVES SEASON.

In sad sweet days when hectic flushes
Burn red on maple and sumac leaf,
When sorrowful winds wall through the rushsG
And all things whisper OF loss and grief,
When close and close: ppld Frost approaches
To snatch the blossom from Natures breast,
When night forever IN day encroaches-
Oh, then think that love you besti
And yet when winter, that tyrant master,
Has buried autumn in walls of snow,
And bound and fettered where bold Frost cast
Lies outraged Nature in helpless woe;
When all earth's pleasures in four walls center
And side by side in the snug home nest,
We list the tempest that cannot enter,
Oh, then say that love you besti
But later on, when the siren season
Betrays the trust of the senile king,
And glad earth laughs at the act of treason,
And winter dies in the arms of spring;
When buds and birds all push and fiutter
To free fair Nature so long oppressed,
thrill with feelings ! cannot utter,
And then l am certain love you best.
But when in splendor the Queenly summer
Reigns over the earth and the skies above:
When Nature kneels to the royal conner,
And even the sun flames hot with love;
When pleasure basks in the luscious weather,
And care lies out on the sward to rest
Oh, whether apart or whether together,
1t is then know that l love you bestl
