Pleasure and Profit.

The American Journal of Psychology
quotes the head OF a factory that en-
ploys 5000 men al having said: 1--WE
reckon that a disagreeable day yields
ahou ten per cent less work than q
delightful day, and we have thus to
count this as a factor in our profit and
loss account. Accidents are more nu-
merous in factories on bad DAYS"
This is an interesting subject, and one
sufficiently practical in its bearing to
commend itself to the attention of the
factory inspectors.

FORTUNES IN REMBRANDTs.
The Paintings of the Famous Dutch
Artist Bring Fabulous Prices.


The most remarkable nineteenth
century examples of Rembrandt which
have come under the hammer within
recent years were among the. pictures
which formed the collection of the late
Lord. Dover at Whitehall, and sold
with Viscount Clifden's property last
year. These were portraits of the
B~urgomaster Six and his wife Gor
many years in the possession of a
descendant of this couple.) The pair
realized together 12,2O0 guineas, and
they unquestionably take very high
rank in the series of matchless por-
traits which the artist painted. REALS
tic in every sense also is the portrait
Of Hendrikje Stoffels rising up in bed,
and in the act of putting back the
curtains with her hands. and looking
with fixed attention at some object in
the room.
This picture, which is fairly well
known through Cooper's mezzotint en-
craving, is absolutely perfect in its il
customary effect IN the spectator. It
sold for 5000 guineas in the Vert
A0iinol Sulo LII 1857. III nelLneP OF
the foregoing examples have we any
mean of indicating the prices at
which they have recently changed
hands. The Dudley picture of .sSt.
John Preaching in the Wilderness
shows a slight depreciation in value,
for in 1915 it realized f2, 900; in 1892
it sold for 92,625. The brilliant por-
trait OF "a Young Lady, shows a re-
verse state of things, for a few years
ago it sold for FL, $50, and in June,
1893, with the Mildmay pictures for
f2,667. So, too, the portrait of Mich
olas Ruts, which sold with the collec-
ton OF the late King William II. of
Holland for f233, realized in the Hope
sales in June last the high figure of
400 guineas.

dissenting voices. The Lanterne, for
