= Great French Etcher.

CHARLES MeryOn-born III iS21-was
brought up to the navy, going first in
1887 to the Naval school at Brest. As
youth he sailed round the world. He
touched at Athens; touched at the then
savage coasts of New Zealand; made
sketches, few of which, in days when
his greater work was most of it done, he
used as material for some of his etch
ings. Art even then occupied him, and
deeply interested as he soon got to lie in
ii he seems to have had a notion that it
was less dignified than the profession of
| the navy, and after awhile he chose de-
libecaiely the less dignified-because it
| was the less dignified. He would have us
believe so at any rate. He wished his
| father TO believe so. And in 1S45, hav-
ing served creditably and become a
| lieutenant, he resigned his commission.
4 painter he could not be. The gods,
who had given him even in his youth a
poetic vision and a firmness of hand,
had denied him the true sight of color,
and / remember seeing hanging up i'll
the salon of NJ. Burty, who knew him,
a large impressive pastel of Il ship cleav-
ing her way through wide, deep waters,
and the sea was red and the sunset sky
was green ; for Meryon was color blind.
He would have to be an engraver. He
| entered the workroom of one Nj. Blery,
to whom in after times, as his wont
was he engraved some verses of his
writing-appreciat verses, sincere
and unfinished-"a tOi, Biery, mon
maitre." The etchings of Zeeman, the
Dutchman, gave him the desire to etch.
He copied with freedom and interest
several of Zeeman's neat little plates
and addressed him with praises, on an
other little copper. like the one to

Something to- KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best remedy for restOr-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone TO the nerve centers in
the stomach, gently stimulates the
liver and Kidneys, and aids these or
gans in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite. aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it as
the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for so cents or
81 per bottle at Hartz & Ullemeyer's
