This is the season of exhibitions. On
Wednesday evening in the Albright Gallery,
Buffalo, the private view of exhibition
of Contemporary German Painting was
given. This is the collection which was
made in Germany last summer by Mr..
Kurtz, and the same which will some
months later be shown in the hemicycle
of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. 1t is said
to more truly represent the current work
of German painters than the exhibits made
in connection with either the Chicago or st.
Louis eXpositions, and it will undoubtedly
prove both interesting and enlightening.
An effort is being made by those interest
ed in civic art and the artistic development
of Washington to prevent the tunneling Of
valley between Washington and old George
town. Though much damage has been done
by surplus and injudcious dumping, the
valley is not yet beyond redemption and
properly treated would not only connect the
Rock Creek and Riverside parks, but would
add materially to the charm and beauty of
the city. Nor, it is claimed, would the cost
of parking and bridging be proportionately
greater than that of tunneling and filing

The fact that an expert commission has
been appointed to judge the models en-

accredited with worth whereas if it be

of Greece. are wanted by public art
museums. Too much care cannot be eXer-

Eighteen of the twenty models entered In
competition for the Kosciosko monument
which will be erected on the northeast cor
ner of Lafayette Square have arrived and
been set up, and in about ten days the en-
tire number will probably be placed on ex-
hibition. Only two have been made in the
United States and many have travelled great
distances. Three or four have come from
Paris. two from Rome. others from Aus
tria, Germany and Russia. 1t is estimated
that ten thousand dollars have been ex-
pended by the competitors upon this COM
petition, and the collection when placed on
view promises to be both unique and un-
commonly interesting.

Over seven hundred entries have been
made for the Corcoran Gallerys approach
ing exhibition of contemporary American
painting. They have come from all parts
OF the country and represent almost all the
foremost painters. An effort has been made

artists. but where this has been impossible
loans have been solicited from private COL
lectors, who. with few exceptions, have re-
sponded generously. In short, this exhibit

as any that has been held in America 1t

exhibitions but rather proposes to cooper

common object The meaning of the word
national is becoming better understood; the
desirabilty of making Washington an edu-
Catlonal center Is becoming more apparent
and the possibilities of such an exhibition
In the way of influence and stimulus are
patent to all. Washington is comparatively
a small city, but it is something more than
a political center. 1t is comparatively
non-commercial, but II is essentially ma
tional. and while il does not afford at the
present time good market for art works,
II can at once establish a standard for
them. Gradually 1t is attracting, as a place
of residence. the leisure class. and already
IL offers the best environment for art pro-
ducers. In time, 1t is thought by those who

Egyptian Onions.

Egypt has been regarded by some
people as the land of pyramids and
mummies only, but il has from time
immemorlal had reputation for
onions. Ancient Egyptians swore 10y
the onion and regarded the plant us
sacred. The inscription ON the pyra-
mid Of Cheops tells us that the work
men had onions given to them, and
from the Bible we learn that the He
brews, when slaves under Pharaoh,
enjoyed these bulbs, and that when far
away they remembered ''the leeks and
the onions and the garlic" The Egyp-
ton onion is handsome and useful
vegetable, and by selecting the best
strains of seed the quality tends, year

Chenp Living In Norway.

man, ito spend the summer in Norway.
The Norwegian climate is superb, the
scenery Is grand and the living is
cheap-a dollar a day at the hotels and
carriages at half dollar day. One
fine thing about Norway is that in the
summer the night only lasts couple
of hours, and If you 20 as far as the
North cape there is no night ut all,
but the sun circles round and round
the horizon and never sinks below.
The Norwegian rivers abound in fish,
and any ore is free to angle for trout
in them. The salmon rivers, though,
are strictly preserved. Some Of the
salmon rivers are very fine and rent
for as much as $4,000 a year. | know

swEEr FACED SUSAN.

Day was trembling on the edge OF

the hills and splashed the sky with
red. For two hours Susan and Hen

do you know what they were talking
about? No? Suffice 1t to say, wnat-

had been reached. Susan was sweet
faced and tender, and the amethys-
tine tints of the evening touched her
face softly, and the fading light
threw a halo about her head. Yet she
was no spring chicken. But what
odds?
Henry had passed all the years of
his bachelorhood in boarding house
and couldn't have told spring chicken
from old hen to save half his salary.
He folded her to his throbbing
bosom and then slowly unfolded her.

A Forest of Giants,

1t is almost impossible for one who
has seen only the eastern or Rocky
mountain forests to imagine the woods
of the Pacific coast. Pictures of the
big trees are as common as postage
stamps, but the most wonderful thing
about the big trees is that they are
scarcely bigger than the rest of the for
est, The Pacific coast bears only a
tenth of our woodland, but nearly half
of our timber. An average acre in the
Rocky mountain forest yields one to
two thousand board feet of lumber: in
the southern forest three to four thou
sand; in the northern forest, four to
six thousand. An average acre on the
Pacific coast yields fifteen to twenty
thousand. Telescope the southern and
Rocky mountain forests. toss the north
ern on top of them and stuff the cen
tral into the chinks, and. acre for acre.

Ink stains may be removed from a
book by applying with n camers hair
pencil small quantity of oXalic acid
diluted with water and then using blot
ting paper. Two applications win re-
move all traces of the ink. To remove
grease spots lay powdered pipeclay
