When the Seine rose and caused soch widespread damage a year ago the British public, through the medium of a Mansion House fund, sent over nearly $350,000 for the help of their continental! neighbors. Strange tw say, the first Mansion House fund was inaugurated to re lieve Paris. This was for the relief of the sufferers in the siege by the Germans in 1871. Over $6000000 was #ollected and sent to Paris, pardy ip A Were money and partly in clothing, food, | first. and other necessaries.

Metcalfe, Principale (Limited) * Kingston, Canada. . 9680000000000 000000000 shown by pictures there was not one by any painter now living. The works were collected from scores of private owan- er; in Canada; from men who years 250 began to take an interest in pure- {ly Casadizn pictures--some of them during the lifetime of the inter, which is rather unusual. In all prob- ability no exhibition of such an in- congruous lot of paintings could have been made when the painters of them were living. That they are all dead excuses many of them from the criti- tism they would surely have got while alive, ; But the fact that the exhibition was one of dead painters' works by na means explains the extraordinary in- terest taken in many of the canvases at the Art Museum. The collection contains some pictures that ought 'not only to interest the general pub- iic, but to stimulate the flagging ener. gies of some of our modern painters. Paul Kane, Paul Peel, Otto R. Jacobi, Cornelius Kreighoff, Henry Sandham, Blair Bruce, and hall dozen others, have canvases in that collection, en- ough to demonstrate that the desire sud the ability to paint existed in a very high degree in Canada as far back as fifty years ago. At least forty of the canvases shown prove that at a time when Canadians were taking a very languid interest in mat. ters of trade and manufacture, ani even in agriculture, the painter men were fired with enthusiasm deep en- h to do daring things. A Fares number of the painters stud- ied abroad, and some of their works show that they imported into Cana- dian subjects a Buropean atmosphere. Paul Kane's buflalo hunt picture has as many merits in color and dramatic interest as anything shown ai the ex- hibition. But, though Kane spent a good many years trailing after the lains' Indians, he failed to become foiin enough himself to draw an Indian pony. Some of his horses look like war chargers idealized. The buf- falos might be the better of a little more internal economy. But the ture is full of go and ndid colof, and it can't possibly fail to be inter ssting--somewhat perhaps because the buffalo, as a subject of art, is now) relegated to the parks, and the Ins dian has become almost effete on thé airie. . Phere is one picture of Kreighofl's in the collection that contains more motion to the square inch than any other picture painted in Canada fot: many a day. That is "After the Ball," which was done years before' Charles K. Harriss wrote dis maudliy ditty bearing that name. course,' rod a Franch Canadien ball and, therefore, as lively as a hall-breed wedding in Athabasca. But there! are more than filty figures in that pice ture, and évery mortal one of them doing something. All the picture iacks is the house on fire and three or four up on the roof to make it a perfect furore of mevement. ; Blair Bruce's Jinjing of the Madi: ferranean is quite as lively, from a nautical standpoint; but not over done. When the same man did the pallid "Phantom Hunter" and the ec sentric shadowgraph picture called "The Monologuist™ it seems that one painter didnt need to stick to any one style in those bold open days of re. Whatever lechitieal and Yeiipera. mental fauita those pioneer painters had, they surely had the gift of aban don, of pate absorption in the things they were tty to either the details of the subject or the canons of art. If a group of painters nowaday: should start to paint in some of the styles these deceased painters they would be Sutibed a awd Sthouk. In those days they were largely in- dividual painters. Each man did the thing he saw in his own way, nol caring a cottinental for erities, of whom thera were few, and not mach for posterity, whieh could be trusted to take care of itself. It's not meces. sary fur modern painters to copy wi pioneers. It they did, they might go very far astray. It may be often desirable, however, for men nowadays, whe have far hetite technical equipment, get as m of the real out-of-doors and pagan ab- sorption into their work, as may be seen in a few canvases at the Ary i.

Over $600,000 was rapidly collected and despatched to Italy, Germany : next with $400,000, and France wi $300,000. Newspapers all over the country opened their columns for the receipt of money from their readers, and the appeal thus made was not in vain. In 1878 the Mansion House opened a fund for the great Indian famine. In respouse to the appeal of the Lord Mayor, the huge sum of $3,450,000 was extracted from the kets of the na- tion. In 1897 another fund was or- ganized tw aid the Hindus, over half a million pounds being sent to India. Altogether England has sent $10,000, 000 in one way another to re- lieve our fellow-subj in India Such figures are a splendid tribute to the generosity of the British public. During the Boer War, however, Bri. tain really rc to the occasion and emergencies. The Mansion House left all its glorious records far behind when it raised over $5,600,000 for the Transvaal War fund. this jau0.000 was given to the fund for the Transvaal refugees and $585,000 for the C.I1.V.'s. That was the Man- sion House alone, and when it is re- called that there were three other funds of a similar kind in existence at that time one is astomished af the capacity of John Bull's pockets.

The proceeds of the company's public performance in the six weeks following Christmas go a long way toward enabling the club to spend large sums of money during the whole jof the year without much call upon the scantily lined pockets of the wil- lagers. There was a time when many of the villagers got drunk regularly in order to keep themselves from re- membering that there was nothing else for them to do. Every possible need of the com- munity is intended to be embraced by the Village Club. It is a night In addition to | seoms that these table birds have been.

No villager has been known to get intoxicated since the club got hold of the place. Re- freshments of all kinds are sold at the clubhouse practically at cost price. There are no paid servants. Even the cleaning is done in turn by volunteers on the weekly Cleanliness Committee ! The annual dues are 5s. ($1.20). | All the villagers belong, women as well us men. The institution has nearly a thousand members. All the members' savings in the bank are invested in loans to mem- bers, and the bank conducts a build- ing society to enable members to own their own houses. The club is the soul of the village. There is no part of the village life in which it does not participate, from the grow. ing of the biggest potatoes and cab- bages, and thé handsomest roses, down to the best batting averages at cricket, and the longest throw with a cricket ball, from the handsomest baby of the year to the ome-made frock. The orchestra started with two fiddles. For a while afterward every instrument was a solo instrument Now there are weekly concerts by an excellent balanced band, led by the organist of the parish church The village schoolmaster was the father of the club.
