The Bank of France.

The Bank Of France is guarded by
soldiers, who do sentry duty outside
the bank, watch being likewise
kept within its precincts. A former
practice of protecting this bank was
to get masons to wall up the doors of
the vaults in the cellar with hydrau-
lie mortar so soon as the money was
deposited each day in these recepta-
cles The water was then turned on,
and kept running until the cellar was
flooded. A burglar would thus be
obliged to work in a diving suit and
break down cement wall before he
could even begin to plumber the
vaults. When the bank officers ar
rived each morning the water was
drawn off, the masonry torn down,
and the vaults opened.
The Bank Of Germany, like most
other German public buildings, has a
military guard to protect it. In a
very strongly fortified military for.
tress at Spandau is kept the great
war treasure of the Imperial Govern
ment, part Of the French indemnity,
amounting to several million pounds.

ART IN AMERICA.
rhe Younger Painter Aroused to the Ne
cessity of Individuality

cessity of Individuality.
John @. Van Dyke gives a careful
review Of painting al The Fair" in
The Century. Owing to the fact that
art education had to be obtained
abroad, we are at the start influenced
by foreign elements, he says. The
influence is to our gain in craftsman
ship, but II is to our loss in original
lty. Partisan ideas and notions of
art may be better than our own, but
the point is, they are not our own,
and, If we repeat them, we are play
ing the parrot-imitating, and not
creating. American painters are not
disposed to be seryile followers. On
the contrary, the effort is toward be-
ing distinctly and individually them
selves, but artistically they are ham
pered by many Galllcisms or world
isms, just as politically good piece
of American legislation is checked by
forced consideration for some foreign
vote. In both cases there is a com.
promise not altogether pleasing to
either party,
We come nearer to having an
American school Of art in landscape
than elsewhere. There is a decisive
note even from the younger men. In
fact, there is much hope to be placed
In the large band Of young landscape
painters at present working in this
country. They have skill, and as
they grow older they will gain the
conviction that our pictorial view is
the only one for them. 1t might be
added, without national pride, that,
as regards landscape, it is the best
one now eXtant in the schools, and
that it has little or nothing to gain
from the view Of Others.
Policy as well as patriotism should
induce an American to be an Ameri-
can, for there is little advantage in
trying to be anything else. rhe
chief value of nations art, aside
from its being good art, lies in its
nationality, its peculiar point Of view,
its representation Of time, a cline,
and a people. We shall never have
any great art in America unless it Is
done in our own way and is distinctly
American. We shall never be ac-
counted great because Of our doing
something like some other people,
nor by fashlonlng that which is best
in others into an electric cosmopoli-
tanism.
Happily our younger painters are
rousing to the necessity of individu-
atty in their work. Year by year
their styles deepen, one in refined
color, another in pure line, another
in brush work, another in largeness
Of conception, another in delicacy Of
sentiment. 1t is these added in
dividualities that produce nationality
in art when there is homogeneity in
fundamental thought and aim. We
have not just now SO much of the
latter as could be wished for, but we
are likely to come to it by degrees.
That there is to be great production
in painting in this country during
the next quarter of century is al
most a foregone conclusion, and it
cannot be doubted that our painters
will find American life their
strongest inspiration.

But the Heartless Rounder VIII Hardly
Kick Another One.
al saw cat like that little one
cause decidedly lively lively time
in front Of Peters concert hall last
night" said a hackman as he noticed
a forlorn little kitten crossing the
sidewalk.
Allows that? Tell us all about it,
jim"
at didn't amount to much, but
tell you it gave an exhibition of nerve
that / will never forget l like to
see man come out and show his col
ors and do what he thinks. 1t hap
pened early in the evening. A num-
Der Of persons were standing about,
and among the number was a tall,
lanky fellow. You wouldn't have
taken him for a man who had any
gumption. A little kitten, Isuppose
belonging to some one living in some
Of the flats above, came out of a hall
way and trotted down the sidewalk.
Just as it did SO a party Of FOUNDERS
came down the street. There were
three of them and all looked as
though they could put up a good
scrap. One of the big fellows saw
the kitten and kicked it up against
the side Of the house.
Il saw the tall, lanky fellow get
nervous and move out to where the
men were. Before | caught on to
what was the matter he grabbed the
fellow who had kicked the kitten by
the collar Of his coat, and, squaring
him around with jerk, said; What
did you mean by kicking that poor
little kitten? Did 1t ever do you any
harm? Have you got any heart in
you, or are you so mean that you can
not help venting your spleen upon a
poor little animal that is probably
some little child's pet?'
We'll, what have you got to do
about it?' one Of the fellows said. 1T
amt your cat.
I've got this much to do about
it, that will help the weak and in
nocent even If they are only cats.
Now, If you want to take this up
suppose you square yourself around
"The three big fellows simply stood
and leered at the big champion of
the little kitten. That seemed to
make him all the madden and reach
ing back he biffed the man who had
kicked the kitten, saying: i can't
keep from hitting such mean, mis-
cradle coward as you are, and If 1
ever see you kick dumb brute again
I'll serve you the same way
Il looked for large-sized scrap
right there, but, strange to say, nei-
ther the man nor his two compan-
ions took it up, but waltzed down
the street, simply muttering that
they didn't want to get arrested, but
that they would get even. looked
around to see what had become of
the lanky fellow, but he disappeared

Mrs. Robinson had set out the

Our soondinnvion CONTINGENT

No country contributes so many i'm
migrants to the United States in pro-
portion to population as Norway. 1t
is chiefly the rural Morse that come to
America, aud the immigrants are for
the most part under 20 years of age.
The Morse are good farmers and thrifty
citizens. They, as we'll as their neigh
bors, the Swedes, have a strong desire
to make homes for themselves and to
have land and the conveniences of life.
They frequently return to visit their
native country, but they become perma-
nent citizens of the United States.
Most of those who come are of marked
peasant type.

When Brides Wore Crowns.

Saxon girls a thousand years ago
always wore gold crown during the
marriage ceremony, this article being
kept in the church and a fee paid fol-
its use by the brides of the parish.
In the year 1877 the Danes raided the
south Of England and stole 100 church
crowns, and there was no marrying
in the afflicted villages for nearly
six months until crowns could be
made.

STENOGRAPHER'S BILLS.
They Are Hard to Collect-How to Get a
Remedy.

They Are Hard to COllect-HOw to Get a
Remedy
These are bitter days for stenog.
raphers. There is just as much work
now as ever BEFORE but collections
are slow and uncertain. One of them
told me the other day that he had been
doing 81 200 worth OF work for every
$400 he had received during the last
year. A movement is now on foot to
raise fund to send competent law
yer before the Supreme Court and ar
que against the celebrated Bonynge
decision. This is the man who sent in
bill of $l2,U0) to Tweed's lawyers for
his work on the Tweed case, together
with the transcri Is of testimony or
dered. The lawyers refused to pay it
on the ground that they were simply
acting as the agents of their clients,
and were not personally responible for
the bill. The general term sustained
this decision, when Bonynge brought
suit, and the case was lost every time
it was appealed. Now stenographers
are compelled to wait until their law
yers collect their fees from clients, and
If there are no collections the stenog-
rapher's bill is held over. The only
remedy is to get written contract
from the lawyer himself to be person
ally responsible for the BILL but few
court stenographers care to risk loss
of friends and patronage by insisting
on this precaution. OF course, great
law firms in this city and elsewhere
pay their stenographers promptly as
they would pay any other employee, and
do not ask them to share their risks in
business. But the great majority OF
small firms and individuals in bad time.

raphers have to suffer. New York
