THE ART MARKET IN AMERICA.

From the New York Evening Post
To the cry OF so many in the Old World
against the sale OF their art treasures to
Americans, DIT. Wilhelm Bode, general
director OF the Royal Art Museum at
Berlin, has added his weighty voice.
Hitherto he has stood with the interests
of a wide civilization and has opposed
any movement to enact legislation pro
hibiting the expectation Of works OF art
But now. on account OF our tariff being
removed from paintings more than twen-
ty years old. DR.. Bode has been stirred to
action. and demands protection. "As
soon," he writes In the latest issue OF
the Magazine Cicerone. ''as the law free
ing old art works from duties passes
Congress, nearly all these treasures will

be left OF the European galleries a few
decades hence; congratUlates England on

just as in the case of the excellent Guth-
mann silver collection" There seems to
be. aside from natural selhshness, only
one sound reason why old works Of art
should not be exported 10 America, or
anywhere else. When they are torn
away from their natural environment
when a religious picture is taken from
It's church aisle. when a frieze is re-
moved from the wall OF an old monas-

much aesthetic wisdom in the action OF
the italian government in fOrbidding the
expectation OF its old art treasures. For

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

There are various opinions on the sub
1ect OF a travelling wardrobe, but all agree
that peace OF mind demands as little as
possible as little as comfort will permit.
It depends principally upon the object
OF travel as a social life makes It neces-
sary TO carry articles which would not
be required for sightseeing. L have a
friend who goes abroad every summer
with her husband and carries as little
luggage as he. and she has the best pos
sible time They visit new places each
year and spend their entire time sight
seeing. They put up et the best hotels
bit are tourists only and so exempt
from rules which govern the social life
Of such places.
They start with new clothing all
through. so that they may remain in a
decent state Of repair till their return.
Everybody knows that man can girdle
the earth and find n suit case large
enough FOR his clothing. but women who
think they can do as much are few. II
means woven underwear and petucoats
which will shed dust. 1t means waists
which are easily laundered or cleansed
and no superfluous garments. But IL
allows one 70 have luggage always at
hand instead OF depending upon porters.
and 1t saves time. money, and anxiety.
I was struck with the good sense Of
two women who are neighbors OF mine
during the summer. They are mother
and daughter, both with husbands. and
both capital housekeepe-s. Their cot
tage was built 20 suit them. and is
s.f~ fa r.@fN afuNf falN
and IN the closets are kept the clothes
they wear when occupying II. for they
spend only week-ends and holidays there,
because they prefer 10 remain with the
husbands. who are men OF business.
They bring some cooked food with them
and buy more OF the baker who calls
each day. but they have no luggage be-
cause they have had the sense 10 have
clothes and toilet necessities at both
homes. Changing residence Is easy and
free from weariness. There Is a woman
who has been helping her husband take
a vacation In installments. and she
travels with a suit case and handbag
Sometimes they take a trip OF two days
and sometimes Of FIVE and she can be
presentable wherever they put up because
she carries a pretty frock OF soft silk
and shoes. stockings. and gloves TO go
with Il.
Her husband declares that men would
be more willing TO have their wives as
companions in travel n they could for
get sex sufficiently to limit their ward

ions for men. They are not sufficiently

abundant The average man has q con-
tempt for clothes beyond what Is neces-
sary and Is fortunate in being allowed
by custom 70 wear his clothes TIL they
are worn out. He can be extremely
comfortable in one suit for long time
The average woman feels shabby unless
she has al least one change and is afraid
Of criticism besides. so perhaps she Is
not so very keen about iaunts which
limit her wardrobe 20 uncomfortable pro-
portions. At all events that is the ex-
cuse husbands give when wives are left

Thoughts on Compensation.

Lowell observed:
For a cap and bells our lives We pay.

And Joy with grief;
Dlvinest compensations come

When the work of mining for gold
began in West Australia there was q
scarcity of water for drinking and other
household purposes. AS the govern
ment felt that the deposits were too
valuable to be neglected it decided to
encourage operations by supplying
water from distance. A concrete
reservoir was constructed near Mund-
airing, on the Helena river, and from
that point to the gold field was ex.
tended steel pipe two and one half
feet in diameter. The conduit has a
length thirty-five and one-half miles.
1t leads to another 4teservoir at Bulla
Bulling, but as this second one is higher
than the first powerful pumps were
used to force the water to it's destina-
tion. At Bulla Bulling the fluid is dis
tributed through pipes by gravity
alone, but goes to several much smaller
reservoirs. The pumps at Numbering
have a capacity of five million gallons
tday, but it is intended to have storage
enough at the other end of the line to
accommodate more than six time as
much. The cost of the work is said to
have been e15,OOO,OOO, or close to
$75, OOO,OOO. The total length of the
conduits is $50 miles

May will not bring good crop weather.
am Of opinion that farmers better
hold their grain. So long as the wheat
corner continues grain is high enough,
but if the prices should break much
below. those that ruled during the
Corner, farmers should wait; prices will
come up again and stay up.

will bring high temperatures and, for
FIVE or six days, good crop weather and
then back into very bad crop weather.
Most rains of the month will fall after
part of this disturbance as the cool
wave comes in. But these will not be
growing rains on account of the un-
usually cool weather.
This disturbance will bring severe
storms. The storm cycle of Venus and
Jupiter and the moon will all unite their
