is that it has a wonderful effect in increasing
the amount of work that can be got out of
tie muscles. Thus a man who eats nothing
ut all but sugar can do almost as much as a
person living ON a full normal diet, while if
sugar is added to a large mixed meal it in
creases the muscular strength by from eight
TO sixteen per cent. Obviously the deduction
from all this is that cyclists, ladies or gentle
men, and all other athletes as we'll, should
train on ~ largely sacchaline dietary. The
anti tobacconists will be grieved at another of
DR.. Harley's announcements, which is, that
although moderate smoking may diminish
slightly the power of muscular e~xertior, yet
it does not stop the rise of muscular power
which takes place every morning. Perhaps,
however, these views have no moral for
women. They do not-at least they used not

A prominent American lady advocate Of
temperance has been giving her views on bicy-

power Of writing shorthand for the Iemaider

where near zero. At present the lady teeto-
taller is in the experimental or enthusiastic
stage, and declares that no exercise is more
delightful. There is a 'sense of mystery
about it-ominous words, considering
what the claims of the new womanhood are
Just now. Still, if women are capable of be.
ing content with mastering machines, instead
of mastering men, they may be cordially en-
couraged to become cyclists without further
delay. We do not know if the observation
hat a cycle is "a horse that eats no oats and
requires no stables" is quite worth making
we dimly r~ecollect having heard something
remotely resembling it before. 1t would have
been much more novel if this lady-cyciist had
been able to tell us what kind of diet is the
best for producing the muscular strength
needed for purposes Of ''pedaltng,' and had
either confirmed or refuted the concly sions

immediate value, as it is nearly 1860 miles
from Auckland and 800 from Sydney, but if
the German Emperor has anything else to ask
which we can readily grant, it might be we'll
to conciliate New Zealand. The only thing
we protest against is a Joint dominion, which
invariably ends i'll bad government and
quarrelling. The Germans will. we suppose,
govern decently, though they certainly dis
play quite unexpected harshness in dealing
with dark races. 1t is C~ctually asserted,

Colonial agents recently issued a decree

There is nothing i'll the whole world so
expensive as - Radical Improvement made in
the interests Of economy. It ap pears from a
Parliamentary paper just issued, that during
the past year the Attorney General drew q
sum of over ego, 600. This was apparently
E7 900 more than was paid in 1928 under
the old scheme. Yet the new arrangement
was introduced to do away with a public
scandal" 1t must, however, be mentioned
that the Behring Sea Arbitration occurred
during last year, and that The fees paid to the
law officers for appearing in Paris figure in
the accounts. The whole subject is one
which the Chancellor of the Excheqner
should closely investigate. The sums now
paid are praposterous, and out of proportion
to the normal earnings Of the profession.
The American Census Bureau has JUST
issued a Report which contains some curious
figures. 1t appears that the disparity between
the sexes is even greater than in England,
but it is the other way, the males exceeding
the females by | l3,OO0-0ne reason among
others for the great court paid to women in
America. The cause is, of course, mainly i'm

West, where the women are apt to Ovsrwork

England. OF the males II ,205 GOO, are

RARE PICTURES RUINED.
An Old Resort of Artists in Paris Destroyed
by Fire.

On the 5th Of last month fire destroyed
the famous Cafe d'Artiste In Paris
and at the same time wiped out of exist
ence one of the most unique and valuable
collections of paintings in the world. 1t
was the only known collection of the kind
in existence and cannot be replaced.
The Cafe dArtiste was on one of the
little side streets, off the Boulevard Cliehy,
that runs up the hill Montmartre. Just
how long IL had been a cafe is past finding
out, but there is no doubt but that it is
nearly century and half. The building
is said to be over 200 years old.
The Boulevard Clichy has long been the
great studio street of Paris, and at one
time the art schools were up there. They
have since gone to the other side of the
Seine. but the studios remain, and the
patrons of the Cafe d'Artiste have always
been wielders of the brush.
The collection of pictures in the Cafe
d'Artiste was not the kind in elegant gilt
frames. that could be easily moved about,
but were painted direct on the plastered
walls, and were really part of the house
itself. The pictures were painted by ar
lists to please their brother artists, and
not TO satisfy the caprices of an exacting
public.
Just how the first painter came to put
the first picture on the walls is one OF the
things lost to oblivion along with the
early history of the building. The structure
was of cut stone, four stories In height, and

at one time must have been an imposing
structure. 1t was mewhat ecclesiastical
in architectural design and was really a
continuation of several buildings joined
together. Only the lower floor was used
by the Cafe d 'Artiste, and that is the only
part of the structure to which there is any
historical value. The exterior of the cafe
looked much like any other cafe, with the
exception that there were neither chairs
nor tables on the sidewalk in front.
Patrons of the Cafe d'Artiste always went
in side.
The interior. or cafe proper. consisted of
a sort OF anteroom in front and behind that
an immense hall with quaint fireplace at
the farther end. The hall was the cafe,
and at one side extended the usual zinc
bar with its tempting array of interesting
looking bottles. Artists are nearly all cos
mopOlitans and connoisseurS on things
drink bic, and the landlord was said to
have the most varied assortment of liquors
to be found ln Paris.
The general appearance of the room was
different from the usual Partisan cafe. It
con tained five or six large round tables,
similar to those seen in Munich beer gar
dens, and the chairs were heavy and OF
ancient pattern. The floor was of hard
wood and polished every day, until it
shone like glass. The walls were VAIN
scoted about four feet from the floor. and
the ceiling was of heavy beams, blackened
with age and smoke from the pipes of
several generations of artists.
The peculiarity of the place, though,
con sisted in its decoration. Every square
inch of the walls and all the panels of the
wainscoting were covered with pictures.
They were painted wherever there was
room and overlapped and crowded one
another in endless confusion. The pic
lures were of different grades of merit,

all and knew the circumstances under
which every picture on his wall was
painted.
By recting these stories Is the way he
kept his place full Of patrons. Almost any
night during the winter there was a crowd
on hand who would sit around the tables
and discuss the latest art gossip until they
had exhausted 1t and then call on the land
lord for some anecdote of famous man.
The landlord of the Cafe d'Artiste bad a
reverence for the pictures on his walls,
Dut, strange to say, never carried cent OF
insurance on them. 81 would give my
life to save them," he used to say, "bnt If
they have to be destroyed all the money in
the world could not pay me for them.
Attempts were made at different times
during the last twenty-five years to get the
French Government to purchase the Gale
d'Artiste and turn it into a museum, but
through some technicalty they always re-
suited in failure.

beyond any doubt were painted many
years earlier. That is, they had all the in
dications of having been. The changes III
the paint were such as TO leave no doubt
IN the minds of artists who examined
them. But COnstable's was the earliest
picture by great man.
To examine the other pictures in the
room was 10 read history of the painters
of France. Hardly a great man that
lived during this century could be found
who had not painted picture on the walls
of The Cafe d'Ariiste. Even selfish Meis-
sonier was represented by a very elaborate
sketch of drummer.
In the last ten years it was almost as
great an honor 10 have a picture on the
walls of the place as in the Luxem bourg.
The picture was surely in as good COM
pany. In fact, there were a greater
number of great minds represented in the
Cafe d'ArtiSte than in the Luxembourg.
And there were no duplicates in the
former place. No artist has more than
one picture.
There was picture from the brush of
Jules DuDre on the walls that that artist
considered better than anything he had
produced since. 1t was only the head of a
girl, but such light, color and flesh tntS
