The chamber of deputies costs consid- erably over two million pounds every year. At least that is what the chamber has cost France for the financial year which is just over The deputies them selves draw 5000 salary. This makes for the b51 deupties $1,743,00o Q year. Then there is the upkeep of the cham her. There are the shorthand writers, the ushers, the conscierges. the librarians. who draw between them $9o.000 and who get, in addition, s26,6 600 year divided up among them for housing fees The reason of this is rather curious one. When parliament was held at Versailles the ser wants of the chamber had to go out to yercailes to live, and the house indemni- ty which they then received has never been cancelled. They are altogether very
 well treated. these servants of the cham Der of deputies. Besides their salaries and New Years gifts, at the end of each legislature. a sum of N5. go is divided among them, with the formal request

following figures as to great masters in the private galleries of American col lectors: Trans Hals, s; Van Dyck, 25; Fl Greco, 20; Goya, 20: Rubens, 15; Ruys- dael, 15; vermeer of Delft. T; Botticelli. I; Titan. 5; Mantegna. 3; Giovanni Bel linl, 3; velasquez, 8; Raphael. 2 The value of the paintings in this list. in- cluding the Rembrandts, would probably exceed $10,0oo,0O To attempt an exact valuation in such matters is out of the question, but at a guess the value of all the old masters privately owned in Amer ca has been roughly put at $25. ooo.00o those in public museums being worth probably s5,o00.00o.
 As MT. Mather says. the art collecting of Americans of 20 years past Is one Of the mast extraordinary movements known to history, and, taken broadly. one of the most successful. "Short of the actual thefts of the Caesars and Na- poleon, there has probably never been within an equal period SO important a transit of the art of other lands" Against the Caesars and Napoleon lies the re- proach that what they took was the plumber of conquest. or stolen. to speak plainly, while American collectors have paid honestly for their property, even where they were cheated by interruptions foreign art dealers.

"JoEv JEFFERsoN's PAINTINGS
Famous Player Was an Artist of Sur
 prising Originality

From Brush and Buskin," by James
 barnes in the April Bookman.
 Marvellous were the products of MT. Jefferson's inspiration. He had created n school of his own. He was prone to portray forest scenes, with tree trunks of wonderful size. in accurate military formation. Old mills were a favorite subject with him, especially old mills with water wheels. and in some of his paintings he actually accomplished the impossible, for, to all intents and plr- poses. he succeeded in making the water run LID hill This having been called to his attention by an over-critical friend, MT. Jefferson responded that he'was well pleased with the result, for flew men could have accomplished it." When president of the Players club, a position he held for so many years before his death, MT. Jefferson presented to the club a large canvas of his own. If the writer remembers correctly, there was a pond in the foreground. many rushes, a tumble-down house and a large and rather theatrical looking forest all paint ed. the artist boasted. in the dead of winter, in his own sitting room and en- tirely from his imagination.

From the New York World.
 Henri Rochefort must have been writ ing in his usual role of a humorist, not of Ian authority on paintings, when he said in La Patrie in connection with the Count dAulby' case: 'In the United States alone there are 2500 Rembrandts. of which certainly more than 2ooO are ab- solute forgeries."
 The gullibility of rich American art collectors is an old joke. but if M. Moche- fort intended his figures to be taken seri- ously the joke is on him. If he believes that, barring absolute forgeries," there are 500 Rembrandts in the United States he is more gullible than any million aire picture buyer this country ever pro duced.
 Tn the introduction to an article on Great Masters in American Galleries. . by Frank Jewett Mather, IT,. in the Worlds Works. the number of Rem brandts paintings now in American pri- vate collections is given approximately as 70. Add all others in American mu- seums and public galleries and the total would probably not be one-fourth of the number M Rochefort 50 generously allots Ito American ownership.

Reckless Princess Louise

iOih tHo A<OuuOn NJlODe.
 So much has been said and written about the debts of Princess Louise, eld- est daughter of the late King of the Bel gfans. that any story illustrating her carelessness in money matters is of in- terest. Princess Louise literally does not know what money means. Some time ago. during q stay she made in Paris, . dress which she had ordered was brought to her hotel. says a Brussels paper. The girl who brought 1t was pretty and charminEly dressed. with that simplicity and grace peculiar to the little work girl of the Rue det la Paix. Princess Louise admired the child and told her so. and admired, too, little silver medal which the girl wore around her neck. Per haps your highness will accept it," said the work girl. Tt Is a medal of the Vir- gin of Prague" That is too sweet of you" said Princess Louise.

 The world has long been aware of the dangerous abuse of alcohol and of opium and its derivative, and has taken vari- ous measures against them.

The Cocaine Habit

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Probably few readers had any previous knowledge of the prevalence of the cocaine habit so shockingly exposed in the proceedings instituted by the pharma- ceutical board. This drug is of recent introduction, and In certain limited uses 1t has been found highly beneficent agent; in the rapidty with which Its abuse has spread among various classes of people, its dangers have come to out weigh greatly all its benefits.
 The very properties which make cocaine useful in skilfu1 hands make it extremely injurious in its continued constitutional effects. Physicians are aware of this danger and of the seductive nature of the drug, and employ 1t with extreme
