Notable Etchings.
There are besides these several etchings
among which should be mentioned as spe-
cially notable a reproduction of Rem
brandts Supper at Emmaus" by Jan
Pieter de Frey; one of 1.-The Thicket," by
Ruysdael, etched by Daubigny: one of Van
Eykes Virgin of the Donor, or Virgin Of
Autumn by Leopold Flameng, and one Of
Ruben's second wife, as he himself pic
tUred her, which is etched by Charles
Chaplin.
To the student of art there is much sug-
gestive material in this exhibition. He viii
not only be able to trace in 1t the gradual
perfection of the art of engraving, but he
can institute comparison between the sew
al schools of painting. The works of the
early religious painters, such as Fra Angel

gel Sarto and Murillo, or with the modern
school. He can. through its agency, wit
ness the revival of classical ideals and the
resurrection of the Greek divinities and the
resultant lightness of the French school Of
the eighteenth century. There are some
excellent portraits included in the col:ec-
ton. such as that of the Cardinal Richie
lieu. by Champagne, engraved by De-
veaux: Van Dykes Charles the first, repro
duced by Desvachez and Ruben's Jeanne
of Austria and Francois de Medici," en-
graved by Edelinck, which will carry with
them a lesson: and genre pictures, for
example, Rembrandt's "Millers Family"
by Veyrassat. and THE Nest of Boucher
etched by Champollion, which will be found
instructive.

Heart Disease and Worry.
From the New York Herald.


The influence of mental emotion on the
heartbeat needs special proof in our
everyday experiences. When the organ Is
healthy the palpitation is the ordinary re-
Spouse to an extra stimulus and is nee
essarily transient in duration. In con-

weakened, there is often great danger to
life by overeXertion, either physical or
mental. 1t is the degree and continuous
ness of excitement which thus work SO dis
astrously.
who fell dead at the end of his first days
duty is case in point He was evidently
overweight with anxiety, and his crippled
strain. Unlike mere muscular exertion. the
mental excitabilty was beyond control,
especially when the new environment was
the persistent disturbing element. This
happens sometimes in the pulpit, on the
lecture platform, and even before the foot
lights. Numerous examples have been noted
from time to time in the Herald.
The preventives are in the line of avoid
ing all overexcitement and of needing all
ominous warnings. This Is most difficult
obviously with mental emotions, as they
are not always under the control of the
will The man with a weak heart who is
time for want of breath and thus remove
the exciting cause of his palpitation. but
continual and profound mental perturba-
ton is alas, too often beyond his ken.
Alas! there was no one near the poor
teacher to tell him not to worry.
