Houses, unfurnished, rent for from $50 to

ants receive from 81 to Sc q day. Beef
or mutton, tough and often tainted,
costs Is cents pound; pork, 20 cents;
veal, 81. 60 pound. The price of poul-
try is almost prohibitive. Game during
the season is moderately cheap. Vege-
tables are at times unobtainable, except
those in cans imported from the United

for 60 cents bottle. The price Of
champagne is not given because none

Oil Painting.

The total absence Of all, even inciden-
tai. reference among classic authors to
oil painting may be considered conclu-
sive evidence that the ancients wero
unacuuainted with the art. 1t is known,
however, from the frequent illusions to
them, that during three centuries ante
cedent to the technical perfection dis
played in the works of the brothers Van
Eyck there were what we may consider
tentative efforts in oil painting. And so
distinct is the evidence of the practice
of oil painting long before the beginning
of the fifteenth century-when the Van
Eycks fourished-that the account of
their invention or discovery by Vassari
(the Italian biographer Of artists, even
understood restrictedly, has been denied
altogether.
1t appears, however, that oil painting
was at first only employed for coloring
standards, banners and pennons with
heraldic devices and for the subordinate,
complementary and decorative parts OF
pictures for instance, as draperies
and accessories. And no example of fig
ures or pictures il the modern sense Of
the term, entirely executed in oil, be-
fore the time of the Van Eycks, can be
proved to. exist, nor is there distinct
record of such works having been exc
cuted. AS might, therefore, have been
expected, research has shown that the
Van Eycks are entitled to our gratitude;
not, indeed, for having created the art,
but for removing disqualifcations which
untitled it to compete with, much less
supersede, the ordinary tempera-the
egg vehicle of the medieval nainters
