To Remove Moisture From Cans.

No matter how good the quality OF
your coffee the beverage will not be
up to the standard unless the coffee
can be sweet and clean I have found
that by dropping lump of sugar into
the coffee can, after it has been thor.
oughly cleaned, and keeping 1t there
until again used, the sugar may
absorb every trace Of moisture in the
can and keep it sweet and fresh. OF
course, a fresh lump of sugar must be
used each time.-New York Evening

BARGAIN PAINTINGS.
Clever Artists Having a Hard Time
During the War.

From Pearson's Magazine. -,
Hundreds of canvases which have
had an honorable place on the walls
of the Royal Academy in England are
sold for no more than the artists have
spent on their frames. These pictures
are painted by clever men. most OF
whom depend on their art for their
'y.x.
One painter. whose work Is to be
seen practically all the year round ut
the principal exhibitions. recently ad-
mitted that his whole income from his
paintings during the last three years
had not averaged E6 year.
There Is practically no market nova
days for easel pictures, and the artist
who relies on it for his income Is TAX
ing a short cut to the workhouse. The
reason partly is that the pictures are,
as a rule. too large to hang on the
or a picture gallery. and partly because
the subjects are not attractive to the
private buyer.
One Of the best paintings at last
our cleverest artists. 1t was large
canvas. six feet by five. and was highly
praised by the critics and admired by
the public. A picture of this quality
AS a matter of fact. his best offer was
Els, from a dealer. and for this ridic-
ulous figure he parted with it.
He spent $40 on canvas colors and
models and f20 on the frame. He
paid ESQ in rent and taxes for his
studio for the year he took to paint IT,
and IL we only allow a pound week
for all his labor and skill. we get q
total Of about s190 for out-of-pocket
expenses and laborer's wages! And
for all this he received e less than the
frame alone had cost him.
Another man painted an excellent
Work of quite remarkable beauty and
skilltul painting. the result Of six
months hard labor. His models cost
him Flo. his canvas and colors fS and
the frame f1o; Thus for his picture
he actually paid ELS. to say nothing
of half a years living expenses. the
rent Of his studio and enumeration
for his skill and work. To pay him.
this canvas should have sold for at
least ESQ: what he actually got for 1t
was Ell.
The reason why an artist will spend
SO much time and money in painting
a picture that is likely to prove a
white elephant is merely to secure the
honor of being hung in the Royal Acad-
