Advance In the Value Of Pictures.

AT the sale Of the art collection of the
late Nine. 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 "The Four
Seasons" Prudhon) brought $4,000
francs, against $4,000 francs In 1868; q
portrait of Nine. de Sombreval and Of
her son Nattier), 40,700 francs, against
5000 francs; portrait of Rembrandt (by
HIMSELF, 10000 francs, against 1000
francs; "The Rainbow" 9Th. Rousseau),
1850 francs, against 4,700 francs; "a
Riverside View" Bonington), 1850
francs, against 4.2O0 francs; 1.-THE Recon-
ciliation" Fragonard), 16,200 francs,

Olivier (Greuze), $1,000 francs, against

fessor Rubens), 12,s00 francs, against
1000 francs; "a Forest Landscape

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 q girl by We

ROYAL Relics.

A writer in "La Vie Contemporaries
has discovered that an old box in the lum.
Der room of the Louvre museum instead
Of containing archives, as was supposed
by many, is full Of the relics Of royal per-
sonages- s-jawbones, shoulder blades,
shanks, ribs and vertebr@. The writer
states that there are among them the
Bcapula Of Hugues Capet, the thighbone
of Charles V, the shinbones Of Charles
vi and Francis 1, the vertebrm of Charles
VII and Charles TX, the ribs Of Philippe
10 Bel and Louis XII and the lower jaw
bone of Catherine de Medicis. The au-
thenticity of these relics is, ho says,
proved by papers also found in the box.

Roses All tho Year Round.

Splendid as the blooms of the Juno
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 MS 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 Dijon, Mime. 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.

THROUGH THE CAR WINDOW.

How Two Girls Got = Scat In a Santa
Monica Train.
''It was the funniest sight l ever
cav ,"said q Southern Pacific official
yesterday to . HERALD reporter. He
was talking about the extraordinary
amount of travel to Santa Monica on
the Fourth.
"We had two cars reserved for the
Bicycle club fellows, and these two cars
were locked up. Unfortunately one win
dow in one of them was left open, and a
kid climbed in. Well, you know what
q kid will do. In FIVE minutea he had
every window in that Car open, and a
few men began to climb in. went down
to try to stop them. Just as I reached
the car couple of fellows with two
mighty pretty girls came along, and
while was looking at them the fellows
lifted one of the girls bodily and put her
head and shoulders in the window.
She gave her two little feet kick, then
there Was wrigole, momentary chow
of lace and white garments, and black
stockings, and che was inside the car,
sitting down, painting q little but gaily
tanning herself"
"Here," said to the two men," this
won't do. This cars reserved"
"'Oh, that's all right one OF them
answered, 'one girl won't discommode
anyone and by George! while he was
talking they picked up the other girl,
and there was the same performance, a
vision of roundness, fluffy clothes, q
kick. wriggle, and she was sitting be-
side the other.
"'Go ahead.' said to the fellows,
you climb in, too. Two such plucky
girls az those deserve to have seat,
and in jiffy the quartette were togeth-
or, all taking the episode as matter OF

Four Sad Summer Deaths.


Four Of my friends during the terrible
heat Of last July died in homes where
every convenience was possible, but from
which women were absent. With theis
families scattered in the country these
men were forced to remain in the city.
In each case the thousand and one little
attentions that mars home receives at
the hands of woman we're neglected by
the servants. Meals were irregularly
served and more irregularly eaten; rooms
were ventilated just as the servants re-
membered or forgot them. That terri
bic week of incessant heat, which we all
remember, came and exhausted these
men.
Dysente,. kindred summer ills
arc not far behind man when he is run
down ty slocploss nights, harassed by
business, living in a cheerless, disman-
tied, uncared for home under torrid days
and sitting nights. In one instance it
was q young man in the flush of sue
cess, who cano home one evening only
TO die during tho night, too weak even
to ring for assistance. In another case
man of millions, with his family away
at one of the fashionable resorts, sue
cumbed to the heat and was found dead
the following afternoon. In the other
two cases the blow came not SO sudden
ly, but yet within week. And in each
instance the families knew not that the
handspring of their support were i'll un-
til they were dead. Perhaps the pres.
ence Of mother, wife or daughter might
not have staid the hand of death, but
who will deny the efficiency Of womaniy
