RESPECT FOR BEAUTY
(New York Mail ,


 The sum of S60,000 was paid recently in New York for painting by Rem brandt, bearing the signature of the great Dutch painter and the date 1882
 That was not much to pay for a Rembrandt, as prices for Rembrandts go. But the sale in the twentieth cen tury of the work of 8 painter of the Seventeenth century for that sum calls afresh to mind the value which the world has learned to place upon the works of it's masters-upon it's monu- ments of beauty.
 The proportion of works of art that have survived barbarian hands and the ravages of time in the course of the centuries is pitifully small. Repeated tides of invasion since the youth Of the world hayes wept over tempies, statues and noble piles.
 The story of the conquering prince who ordered the priceless manuscripts in the library of Alexandria used as fuel in the public baths of that city may me-and probably is-apocryphaL But it Illustrates the attitude Of the barbarian mind toward beauty. It is but too true that many classic mas terpiece in marble has been cast into the limelliln. Il is but too true that the carved stones have been torn from

 hen we say aimless, we speak ad Vlsedly, for the scientists tell us that when a grasshopper catapults his cor porate self into space by the propul- slVe power of his hinged hopping poles he has no idea where he is going to light. It may be in the lake or the brush fire or the kerosene can or the pansy bed; it is all the same to him.
 Examine his countenance. He looks the perfect fool. At the top of the head two bulging eyes as expressive as the eye of dead carp; and below this is nose like a wooden plowsnare. This is all. There is no forenead, no brain and no room for one. The grasshOpper we find. is an insect idiot. The besl he ever did was to keep out from under foot of his betters.
