ART SSLESH UMOOH Treasure Houses That One May Purchase Outright A QUEER MODE OF LIVING. The ‘•Gentleman B« t'" W Se Yas Cr.a -. the Kring Table er the Whole Room and Then Return,sh Fir the Next Purchaser. The methd of baying and selling objects of art has «nderg>>tie consider* Lie change during recent years. Formerly the art dealer ens>.-* -need himself exclusively in shops in fashionable streets in the St. James' district and advertised hfo presence there by a aingie chair in the window » a Jjpcaese vase. But the “gentl-'tnan dealer" has come on the scene. In recent years he has taken away the cream of the trade from the man toaia-i the counter. There are in London today perhaps a dozen mansion*, magnificently furnished. cettaisiflg great fortunes in pictures, turn;tare, china and silver, whose owners are willing to part with any one of their beautiful pcasesstons at a price, or are ready at all times of the day and night to seii out. lock, stock and barrel. There are no signboards, no advertisements. no Judication whatever that the house is anything but the reside tree of a very well to do gentleman. There is no admission to the general public. You must go by iavitati u or introduction, and some of these private purveyors of antiquities would be extremely annoyed if it became generally kn -wn *hat they are dealers. The majority of these -gentlemen dealers’* are well known throughout the trade and are regarded as the most imp-runt men in the business of buying ami selling work* of art. Whenever. therefore, a small dealer has anything to dispose of or there is something which his limited capital will not permit him to purchase he goes straight to the -gentleman dealer' - and in turn for the usual commisssion makes it possible for the latter to become the possessor of the coveted object. So It has come about that the “gentleman dealer" has gradually become the most important figure Jn this commerce. Not only does he sell you a chair out of his dining room, a Gainsborough picture from his walls, a valuable piece of Sevres from the Chippendale cabinet in the corner or the linen fold paneling from off the very walls of the entrance hall, but he is prepared to furnish a cottage or a mans: a from top to totters with antiquities.

It seems rather ridiculous to people who are not aware of this Kate of affairs, but it is a fact that if you happen to to a guest in one of these houses and you take a fancy to the saltcellar you may take it for your own by sending a check for it the next day. or you may have the whole din imr tal-te with all its treasures, or you pit hare the entire r»m. inriadfeig the carprt. The only thing you most not take away is the family c-irrie. This constant change apparently j gives xest to life in the home of the “gentleman dealer." for his wife never ! fc»>ws whether she will to able to i hare dinner for her t. ns band served on \ a icab <gsny Chippeudale tioie worth ! £2OO or a plain deal shelf, since all the \ ethers have been sold. I One day they draw up chairs whose value is calculated in enormous figures. and the next day they have great j trouble In finding anything at all to ; sit upon ! There is no important sale anywhere \ in the country at which the "gentie j man dealer” is not either present in : person or represented by any one of S the smaller dealers who are only too anxious to to of service to him, because, to it noted, the man with the fine house is able to work with a large capital and is therefore competent to make purchase* at sales which the small dealer finds beyond hisnFor every chair or picture sold in England the “gentleman dealer" sends across the water a dozen valuable pieces. There is a Kory of a flat near Piccadilly owned by one of these enterprising men in which four luncheon parties and three dinner jiart.es were gives in ace wee A At each party there was a different guest, and every time the host succeeded -n selling «nt the contents of the entire flat, so that it required a small array of men to bring In new furniture for the next luncheon or 1.2- , ner party. The fiat was furnished ' seven times in one week. The owner was so hard put to find new oU things , to daxxle the eyes of prospective puri chasers that he had to pay the dealers .heavy premiums in order to cope with his business. 1 It sounds easy, but it is not because i there is nothing more difficult or more j risky than baying old furniture, old , prints, old china, or in fact anything i old. i The world is simply flooded with imitations which to ti e eye of any but the most expert are supposed to be perfectly any one imagines he can become a s “gentleman dealer" merely by taking an expensive noose in Bloomsbury, it I would to advisable for him first to Usj ten to the story of the experience* of ' others who have tried and failed igt»ouiniously. It requires, first, a moot intimate acquaintance with the old masters In painting. In furniture, in silver and china; seuondly. a keen business sense j which is not to be blunted by the necessary but not always harmless dinner parties, and. thirdly, a courtly manner | which dees not suggest buying or sell--1 tag at every turn.—London Esprit.

Souvenirs of a Criminal Career. A bedroom papered with the Sags of ail nations Is occupied by an artist who ha- a hankering for oddities. Every nationality under the stm Is represented by the colors on the walls, and the effect upon a person when first catering the r>s> is somewhat dai-rlir.-v "Tb ff.-.gs.“ said the artist, “represent a career of crime which has extended over the entire world- In fact, I am an internstJoeai thief. When I toured Africa. Asia. Europe and Australia some years ago with two other fellow artists we each boasted of our ability la •pinching’ towels from the hotels at which we stopped. The fellow who got the lowest number was to pay the passage of the other two bach to this country. I came hi first by it..? nagtng to collect - T towels, many of which rarce from world famous hotels. When I got them home I immediately nrreed them into flags with my viter colors, and they make good souvenirs of my criminal career.” —Philadelphia Record. Instinct In Pwnts. Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth. The plants that turn to the right In the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere, and therefore, for the sake of consistency. It may be preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as respectively “docirwtse” and “counter clockwise.” which latter can be shortened to “cocnterwise. - The honeysuckle and the bop turn “clockwise." while the convolvulus and the scarlet runner bean twine “counterwise." Experiments made by growing scarlet runner beans in opaque cylinders, to discover whether the deviation of the twist was Innate or merely from the direction of the light, disclosed the fact that the plant possesses an Inclination resembling the instinct of animals, of proceed-ng in a given direction, and resents any attempt to force .i otherwise. Swedenborg in and W g. Swedenborg was a great deal in London. where he was known and admired and had several good friends, but his small knowledge of Engilsk and the impediment in hi* speech precluded him from any real intimacy. His slight figure, with its line features and hazel eyes, was well known in the neighbor hood of Cddisatb fields, where he lodged. and he was often seen stopping to talk to the children, for whom he used to carry sweetmeats. He was always dressed in an old fashioned suit with lace ruffles and wore a full bottomed wig, carry in r a sword and a gold headed cane. On Christmas eve. 1771. he had a stroke of apoplexy, and cm March 29. 1772, the day he had foretold. he died at the house which be had himself named.—Occult Review.

Antiquity es Tea S-vsk.ng. “With your tea cigarettes,” said the antiquary K-cruiy. “you young ladiesthink you revives very modern and decadent. But look here.” He took from a portfolio a French print of the seventeenth century that portrayed two men. with cumbrous pipes, charging the same from a box of China tea. ■This shows you." the old man said, “the antiquity of tea stroking. It was a common thing in France IW years ago. Btecn* mentions it and Grand d'Ans«aT in his 'Histoire de la Tie Privee des Francais* describes it in detail. An vice, a dead vice—for the French f -anrl that Sea smoking racked the nerves—how v ~v very foolish you girls are to have revived it"—New Orleans Times-Den>--rat. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS.
