Last Saturday the fire companies were
called out twice by false alarms. Some
one at the flour mill had occasion to use
a torch inside and the blaze was seen
through the window. 1t had sus-
picious look about it and the hremen
not wishing to take any chances, got
out at once. In about ten minutes the
same thing was repeated. While there
was really no danger, the occurrence
spoke well for the vigilance OF the FIRE.

years ago a number OF great Paris artists
broke away, to found new and freer and
less official salon. in the Champ de Mars
But 1t is the old salon in which every young
artist seeks his first honors. Something
less than 2,0OO pictures can be hung each
year. Something more than 5000 are al
ways offered.
The Salon opens On May l, but this great
multitude of pictures must all be delivered
and ready for the judgment of the jury by
the 10th of March. From that date until
the opening of the exposition to the general
public there are many curious proceedings
which go on behind the scenes in prepara-
ton for the Salon.
1t is the beginning of March. The pic
lures are finished. The frame maker has
taken the measures and only the frame is
wanting. 1t is a prOverb that the frame
makers speciality is to deliver his mer-
chandise al the last possible minute. At
last it comes, and the intimate friends Of
each artist are invited to see his picture
before it goes off to the Salon. They are
invited to admire and not to criticise.

day, in addition to food ration of % cents
a day. Soon after the civil war the spirit
ration, or daily "grog," was abolished IN
the navy, and a per diem food ration of SO

are allowed this ration whether afioat or

ing out properly the No. rs marked by the
jury. The arrangement is made UP on the
floor. First the principal picture-the most
mo. 1" of all-is placed in the middle.
Then the other pictures are placed at the
sides and beyond it. When the committee
is satisfied, the workmen are left to hang
the pictures on the wall as they have been
arranged on the floor. When all has been
done for the first time, a final survey of
the pictures as they actually hang on the
walls is sufficient to remedy any mistake
of taste or judgment.
But in general, in this most difficult
work, it must be acknowledged that each
picture gets about it's due. 1t must also be
acknowledged, however, that as each pic
ture has it's own individual color scheme,

fluential ladies' the picture must have mer-

and deputies do not hesitate to make in

the work Of some protege. Sometimes the
discussion of the admissibility of q paint
ing relates to the school of art to which
it belongs. But Of late years, under the
influence Of competition from the rival
Salon of the Champ de Mars the old salon
has opened its doors wider and wider even
