these is by the famous French painter,
Emile Vernier. 1t is entitled "a Breezy
Day." and is just such scene as can be
observed any day along the French coast.
Over there in many places the grass grows
close 10 the waters edge, and cattle and
horses can be seen feeding close to the
sound of the breakers. In Vernier's pic
ture the waves are dashed into whitecaps
and the wind sends a little sloop in the
distance along at lively rate, but on land
the herds are feeding contentedly. This
picture is rich in color and broadly ham
died.
The marine by j. Clays is entitled
Calm" and depicts a Holland fishing
boat at anchor on smooth sheet OF water.
The strong characteristic of this picture
is the effect of light. 1t is really flooded
with sunshine, and at the same time it is
indescriba bly, rich in color. The drawing
of the boat is exceptionally good and the
handling is of the boldest character.
Another marine is from the brush of
the promising New York artist, Henry
Chase, who died few years ago. "Fish-
ing Boats" is the title of it ana the scene
depicted is a stretch of bea CHI on the sea-
coast of Holland. 1t is rich in color and
we'll drawn and the breeze blowing in fills
it with action.
Theodore Weber is represented by pic
ture entitled "Boulogne." 1t represents d
boat landing at the foot of wharf and is
an admirable piece of work. 1t is rich in
color and full of action and light.
small picture entitled an eastern
Scene" by A. Passini, is a particularly
,laosino hit of work The Ouaint hOuSas
and the lively scene on the streets are
most unusual to our eyes, but on that &C.
count are particularly interesting. This
picture is very high in color, but is re-

the dwelling. is trying to play with them.
1t is pleasing scene, painted as only
Jacques ever painted such subject The
drawing is perfect and the color is pure
and rich, but at the same time subdued
and quiet. The feeling IN this picture is
almost beyond belief. One really feels
when looking at it as II they are in far
away France, and mcmentarily expects to
hear the sounds Of the quaint old barn
yard. The effect of the sunlight of the
declining day Is wonderful.
There is another sheep picture of the
French school in the collection. 1t is by
A. Mauve. one of the most famous of
modern painters, and the picture does

splendid example of the artists work.
Ad Schreyer, the famous painter OF
Arabs and horses, is represented by
very good example of his work. 1t is in
his usual style, which is so we'll known all
over the world, and painted in his best
manner. The drawing OF the horses is
magnificent, and the anatomy is particu-
larly well studied; much more so in fact
than would seem to be necessary. but it
all helps to make the perfect picture.
''Soldier on Horse back" by T. Chel-
monski, is an unusually good example Of
that artists work. 1t is, of course. hardly
composition, but the accuracy of draw
ing and detail and the simplicity of color
mark it an exceptional picture.
Discussing the Deed" by Max Jnife, is
a figure work of a high order 1t takes
one back a couple of hundred years, when
things were done differently than now.
The costumes are particularly we'll studied,
the color and drawing is strong, and there
is enough of story in the picture to give
it an interest.
"a Fancy Head" by GAMBIA. is
splendid piece of painting. The face is
full of interest. 1t is good IN color and
drawing, and produces a harmonious and
pleasing effect without becoming decora-
tive.
"a Church Procession" by Jose Gal
legos, is picture to be looked at by the
hour and something new discovered every
minute. 1t is in that famous artists
usual style, very close and minute, but
full of action. OF course the story is well
| told-almost dramatically told-but the
work is not at all "stagey" as such pictures
are apt to be.
Preparing for Market" by A. Monte
mezzo, is distinctive picture of the Ital-
ian school. 1t is close in detail and bright
in color.
"a Game of Chess" by Franz Dury is
a picture with many good points. The
expression OF the faces OF the players is
particularly good.
A little Landscape" by M. Broker, Is
work of an unusual order. 1t is full OF
the most minute detail. and yet the gen.
eral effect is that OF the broadest kind of
painting.
"a Kitchen Interior" by Pittz Is care
full study, and, of course, high class
piece OF work. although devoid of much
| interest except in the way of execution.
THE Charge" by Perboyne, is strong
piece of painting, highly artistic and
good in drawing and color.

him justice in every way. 1t is simply
entitled Landscape with Sheep" which
is, perhaps, as good name as can be
found for it. for the picture is really a
transcript from nature. The landscape is
very simple-only one of the beautiful
gray green hillsides Of France with few
gnarled and twisted trees. The sheep are
close to the foreground and the shepherd
occupies place in the middle distance.
Every object keeps its place in the most
pleasing manner. The color of, this
picture is trifie cold, but it is absolutely
true to nature.

Pumice Stone.

1t is popularity supposed, particular
iy after the eruption of a volcano, that
pumice stone ought to be plentiful and
cheap, as quantities must have been
elected during the volcanic disturb
ance. AS matter of fact, however,
none of the white stone in general use
is obtained from active volcanoes. 1t
comes from the deposits of the article
discovered in one or two quarters of
the globe, the best of which is at
present to be found in the Islar of
Lipari, situated in the Tyrrahenian
Sea. The island is mountainous in
character and consists of tufts and
lavas, and of highly siliceous volcanic
products. The district where the
stone is found is called Campo Blanco

many Jumps of rumice stone, which
are placed in baskets, subsequently

shipped to distant points, either via

the most famed and eccentric writers
of the day, and, giving him book. ad-
vised him to appear to be reading 1t
whenever Carlyle approached the
stand.
Cabby, without any suspicion, acted
on their advice, and when the old sage
next came for a cab he seemed deeply
impressed in a very pretentious book.
"Hillo! what's that you're readin'?'
inquired the Ecclefechan philosopher.
"a most hout-an'- -hout, tip-top, splen-

'Eh! what dae We say? Let me see
it," said Carlyle, holding out his hand.
''Oh, certainly, SIR" said the driver,
handing him copy of his History of
the French Revolution"
"Weel, my man." inquired the sage,
apparently delighted. "are We sure that
you're readin' this work intelligently?"
Perfectly sure" said the Jehu, con-
fidentially; then. thinking he ought to
say something in praise of the book,
he added, ''Why, sir. it's almost as good
as The Newgate Calendar"
The grim old DumfrieSsian glared at
him, grunted out something, turned alb
ruptly around, and engaged the next

looked at him, but stuck to the second
