gallery installed in the house occu,
pied by Rembrandt at Amsterdam
from 1889 to 1858, in the Jodenbree

art commemoration. Rembrandt
purchased the residence for 1900
forms, and it was here that, in com.
pany with his wife, he passed the
happiest and at the same time the
most fertile years Of his life. Thu
house was sold in 1858 for 1000
forms and was subsequently divided
into two, until in 1908 a special
commission, Of which the famous
Dutch artist, Joseph Israels, was the
moving spirit, purchased the place
and had it restored and transformed
into museum adorned with a large
number Of Rembrandt's pictures.

Dances In Sardinia.

Sandman dancing Is unlike any 9th
err. It Is a kind Of shutting with the
feet as the dancers, holding hands,
move to and fro. the women on one
side Of the dancing ground and the
men on the other, till they have work
ed round to the opposite sides, while
the las launeddas Is played by a man
who walks up and down between the
dancers. AS rule. the men and WON
en- do not mix. whether dancing or not,
but keep each to their own side. The
dances take place on Sundays or feast
days in some plaza Of the village, but
hardly ever in the big town.
