sentation of the mystery and fsscina-
ton of Wilkie Collins tale
Mrs. Smitten invests all she does
with her own individuality and force
of imagination; and whether one be
in sympathy with the subject or not.
the reality and power of the portrayal
can not be denied The charming bits
of landscape through which Mrs. Smit-
ten is best known are widely praised
and appreciated. the delicacy of their
handling and the quality of serene
beauty which the artist puts into them
creating distinct atmosphere, and
stamping them as the production of
one capable of bigger things.
Mrs. Smitten expects to have a num-
Der OF completed subjects ready for the
Sequoia exhibition in the fall. The
exhibition will be held in the new
clubrooms in the Mercedes building, in
Post street, which are finely equipped
and where the pictures will show TO
the best advantage.
E. B. Courvoiser. art dealer. is in his
new quarters in Sutter street. opposite
the old Jewish syna gogue. and Yiekery.
Atkins & Torrey's building in the
same street is being rapidly rushed TO
completion. A charming old world
bit of garden will be one of the fea-
lures of Mr.. Vickery's new location.
and that it will be a joy to the many
who visit this firm goes without
saying.
A wonderful piece of sculpture has
been put on exhibition in New York
recently. says the Monitor. 1t is en-
titled Earth Bound and is described
as showing three generations-the man
of years. the woman and man OF
middle life, and a little child, all but
the last depicted as carrying burdens
in the form of huge masses Of rock
on their shoulders. and bending low
heavy to bear.
The sculptured group most elo-
quently tells the story Of human needs
and cares. The younger man in the
group appears to be leaning toward
the woman TO help her steady her
burden IN addition to carrying his
own. The child carries no burden, but
seems 10 be bowling forward in antici-
patton of that which is TO come. while
the aged man is moro heaEily weighed
down than the others.
The artist, Louis Potter, was grad
uated from Trinity college. Harvard. in
1895. and studied both painting and
sculpture abroad. AS pupil of Meunier
and Rodin. he began as an extreme
realist, but his later work is marked
by an imaginative and poeticsl quality
which has transcended its scope and
given it the force and appeal OF ex-
pressed truth. The. artist is looked
upon as giving great promise.
One of the most notable successes of
the season in the world OF Paris art.
says the London American Register,
has been achieved by young Brooklyn
girl, Miss Katherine McEnery. who.
after only a few months spent in the
Latin quarter. has had two pictures
accepted at the Paris salon. This IS
almost a record, and quite unexpected
by the clever young artist, whose
modesty Is one of her greatest charms.
Miss McEnery has studied art in
America and has travelled through
Spain, from which country she brought
back some charming little pictures OF
scenes OF peasant life and picturesque
views OF Seville and Madrid. One no
table canvas is a study of Spanish
children that shows considerable
talent.

cases of consumption; we know eX-
actly where to find two-thirds of them,
and that is in the stuffy, i'll lighted
room of the crowded tenement house,
in which the third stage consumptive
is slowly coughing his life away. Stud
les begun by Kayserling in Berlin,
and extended by Miller of New York,
FLOYD and Bowditch of Boston, and
Lowman of Cleveland, have revealed
the appalling fact that when the fami-
lies of consumptives presenting them
selves at hospital clinics are gathered
up and brought in for thorough ex-
animation from 20 to IS per, cent,
especially of the children, are already
tubrculous! The city statistics of
Berlin now show that of ali new eases
of consumption reported 20 per cent
can already be directly traced to infec=
ton from some previous case.
Every ten consumptives in the sec
ond or third stage sent to camp and
kept there for year means FIVE pa
tients arrested or cured instead of ten
deaths, and the prevention of at least
ten new cases, which would otherwise
have developed. As matters are run
ming in New York City we discover
about 10000 cases of consumption
every year; 10000 of them die, and in
the process infect 10000 others, who
take their places in the death rsnks
next year. And SO the deadly game

NHNiC you Ndn AOdI 10 real advantage
and comfort, for by merciful rever-
sion, under the greenwood tree, the
very thought of work becomes loatn-
some, as abhorrent as to a Mohegan
brave. There, and there only, eating,
ruminating and sleeping become mans
sole and sufficient occupation. The
open air cure, which is the only cure,
can be got in its perfection nowhere
else My first and second and third
advice TO a consumptive is: go to
CAMP Here he can learn to live
the open air life in all its fullness and
perfection. The cure of consumption
Is not drug nor an operation nor
magic method of any sort. 1t is life
that must be lived twenty-three hours
and sixty minutes out of the twenty
four, and seventy years out of your

learn it properly by being told about
it or lectured about it or advised about
it ever so wisely-you must live it.
You can not take full college
course by correspondence in six
months, nor can you graduate from
the Great University of Open Air
without going into residence for at
least one or two terms. You can
learn more of not only how TO cure
yourself, but how to live so as to stay
