Artist and Counterfeitar.

There used to be an old German
counterfeiter In this country who was
Il veritable wonder with the brush and
pen. This man literally painted pic
lures OF twenty dollar notes which
were works OF art He used no tools
except his pens and brushes. and IT
took him a week to do the portrait of
banknote. He figured that his
handicap was worth about So day
and worked under the idea that the
world owned him a fair living and
should not object If his talent led him
toward portrait painting, with twenty
dollar bills for models. Even jail
terms failed to impress him seriously
with his wrongdoing. A collector of
curios once offered $500 for one of his
specimens of bill portraiture. and the
value OF some Others was said to be
even greater. so marvellous was the
delicacy of his brush work

Household Extravaganza.

Everyone is familiar with the say
ing as to the fortunes made out OF the
mustard that people leave on their
plates. Perhaps the poorest may per
NIT themselves this extravaganza
without infiicting any mortal injury on
their solvency. But there are other
household extravagances of like ma
ture which appal some OF the thrifty
visitors from France To take one
most apparent example, there is
enough bread wasted at the popular
seaside resorts to victual large gar.
rison throughout a long siege Gulls
and fishes are gorged with holiday
makers waste. This waste OF bread
which amounts almost to a national
habit. may be considered along with
the neglect of the quality of the food
consumed. It has been also a national
habit TO devour bread from which
great part of the nutriment has been
subtracted by elaborate and costly
processes. What with the waste in
quantity and the neglect of quality in
this standard food, as in some others.
the household bills. even among the
very poorest. have risen through the
fault of no external cause whatever.

TO PROTECT WORKS OF ART
Italy Proposes to Insist on Govern.
ment Certificate Of Sale for
Art Treasures

II is very likely that some legisla,
! tive measures will be adopted by Italy
In the near future to protect works
OF art and prevent their being stolen
from museums and picture galleries,
as the Mona Lisa" was The min
ister Of public instruction has been
fayorably impressed by the proposal
OF Commentator Agnet, who suggests
! special law giving a sort of title Of
ownership to every work of art and
declaring null and void all purchases
and sales unless certain formalties
are followed The law suggested will
be more or less as follows:
Article THE competent authorities
will grant free of charge to the own
ers OF art objects, such as statues,
paintings. ancient objects, etc, a spe-
cial certificate briefly describing the
object. and In the case Of paintings
giving the name of the author OF the
school
Article 2-Such objects can only be
sold and their ownership validly trans
ferred II a regular Endorsement is
made on the certificate and the sigma.
ture Of the owner is authenticated by
notary
Article 3-The sale OF art objects
by mere delivery is null and void.
Article 4-The sale and purchase ef- |
fected without a regular Endorsement
on the certificate is punishable by a
fine and Imprisonment and bona hde |
possession will not be admitted as an
extenuating circumstance.
Article 5--No certificates will be |
granted for art objects owned by the /
state, municipalities, churches or re-
ligious and charitable institutions.
