 For the booming of a new artist an astute dealer is necessary. He catches his artist as young as possible. prefer. ably as an exhibitor of crazy canvase4 at the autumn salon of the Independ- ents' exhibition. and commissions him D paint 100 pictures year.
 One by one. occasionally in twOs and threes. at judicious intervals the deal CT sends the pictures to the Hotel DrouOt for sale by public anction There he has cOnfederates. who raise the price ut each sale. and he buys them in himself Y
 After a few months the: young ar t1st's canvases have certain market value. and the next step Is taken to ter. The critics are attacked One of them Is asked to look at some daub. and when he cries out with horror the dealer says:
 What? Yop don't like lt7 Take 1t home with you as a favor tO me. live with 1t six months and them

 Doubt begins to invade the critics mind. and when ono ar fvvO anOr0 nns thusiastic amateurs have visited him he is worked up to writing a column of panegyric on the new master. The amateurs are. of course, sent by the dealer.

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, a penetrating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre- seription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescription, at only 25 cents, will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful eures from it's use. We recommend 6 Co eur patrons.
