OLD PICTURE SALES. Huterplrcm Sold for Clirnnin Prices Ite mlnUcences of Art Auction. Long beforo tlio duke of Durcnl's col lection of paintings had been taken from the nncestral walls to bo brought ncross tho Atlantic, New York wus noted ns a picture buying town, and many of the nuction sales of "raronnd antique" paint ings of fifty years ago were quite as far cical as thoso of today. Excellent pic tures were brought from tho other side by chance frequently, but the critical eye of art lovers of that timo was too practi cal to allow any undue indulgence where more than a trilling sum was asked for a work even of unusual merit. It's nothing new in New York that tho works of old masters should go begging for a prico even near their value." said an old artist, as he proceeded to tell a story of somo peculiar auction sales of years ago. several prominent actors in which may bo familiar to old New Yorkers of today. In tho early fortiesnn undersized, dark browed, keen eyed art dealer. Levy by name, opened a small auction room for tho sale of paintings on Broadway, near Cortlandt street. Thero he sold at auc tion every Saturday night old paintings, many of which bore tho names of world renowned artists of past generations. Paintings of all kinds, many merely old scrolls of canvas and some framed, were knocked down at prices that would not btaggcr n dealer in chromos nowadays. Ono day a traveler, whojo funds had run short, called on Levy and offered him twelvo panel portraits of tho Cajsars for an old 6ong. As Levy never told what ho paid, nobody ever knew, but certain it is that ho bought them at a low figure, and on tho following Satur day night placed theui in a row on the wall and usked tho assembled critics, consisting mostly of neighboring shop keepers, "What am 1 offered for tho whole Civsar family by Raphael?" Mr. Levy couldn't sell them very ea sily, but finally a bid of fivo shillings apiece bought tho collection, A year or two later Brett, a London picture dealer of some note, whose spe cialty was collecting the lost works of great masters for privato collections of the nobility, came to New York on a hunt for tho Ca.sirs. After a long search he found them in a small restaurant on Nassau street, ilo offered tho proprie tors $."i0 for tho lot. Tho offer was ac cepted promptly, but two of tho por traits were misMtig. Inquiry developed the fact that tho thrifty restaurateur had used them to kindle a fire, during a heavy snow storm when it was difficult to get wood. The ten portraits accompanied Brett on hi-s voyage back to London, and were handed over to a delighted purchaser for $10,000. I'i 'rre Flandin. tho old time dry goods prince, was at that time an art dealer, as were also Pad and Beau mont. At a sale in tiio auction room of the latter a work by Dunuid was sold for 2o0, and for days tho sale was tho talk of tho town. Ono of tho largest collectors of pic tures at that time was Lunian Heed, a successful merchant who lived in Green wich htieet. Mr. Reed's gallery con sisted almost entirely of works by Ameri can artists. Many well known peoplo at that time weio visitors at his gallery. These pictures aro now in tho possession of tho Historical society, at Second ave nue and Tenth street. About 1B10 Erustpusch, a German im porter of pictures, brought over the greatest collection of pictures over im ported at ono time. In all thero wcro 40,000. mostly by German artists, but among them tho works of Spanish, Ital ian and French artists. Levy sold nearly tho entire collection at auction at prices of from 1 shilling to $100. The last really largo auction salo of pictures was the salo of tho RobertSmith collection about ttvonty-fivo or thirty years ago. Tho Smith collection was mercilessly assailed on all sides and the prices realized, with a few exceptions, wero ridiculously low, Ono picture by Van Dyko, however, brought a very good price. New York Commercial Ad vertiser. A Ciiiuiin.T Uinl. ' Canary birds are easily trained, as wo told you recently. Two of our girls send us tho following letter about ono belonging to their aunt.

On his deathbed ho angrily rebuked his nurso for the solecisms ox her language. And when Ids confessor mildly remonstrated, Mai lierbo replied: "Sir, I will defend to my very last gasp tho purity of tho French language." Soothingly, but not In too exquisite a diction, tho good confessor dwelt on tho heavenly joys which Mai horbe might now reckon to bo within so very easy a distance, but tho pedantic purist interrupted iseverely: "Say no moro, or your wrotchod etylo will dis gust mo with the placo altogether. " London Life SOME SUPERSTITIONS. A FEW OF THE POPULAR FEARS FANCIES AND FAIRY TALES. Didn't Itidlcvo In Glintt, but Afraid of Tlirm Tlilnr.s Wnrti and Carried to Pro vent Dlwuso Unlucky to f!o Under n Ijiilder In und Out tlio Snuio poor. The probable truth Is that there is not ono of The (5 lobe's readers who does not at least half believe in tome suttcrstition. Somewhere in your lives you have a little private closet where you keep ono or more pet superstitions locked up out of sight of your friends, and, for tho most part, out of your own sight. But now and then vou unlock tho door, or they get out through the keyholo; then they look at you in the twilight witli their weird ej-es. full of the mystery of the past, and you Und yourself on your knees before them. Perhaps you aro half ashamed of them, becauso you do not more than half believe in them, but when hey get you alone they master you. You are like Mine, do Stael. A friend said to her one day, "Do you be hove in ghosts?" "No," sho replied, "but 1 am afraid of them, though." A LONESOME IJVDY. Col. Ingersoll dedicated his first vol ume of lectures to "Eva A. Ingersoll, a woman without superstition." In tho early mining days in California, when selfish rascality seemed to be tho rule, an old miner who had been repeatedly "fleeced" was, very much astonished at the remarkable honesty of a young man who had just Kiid back some money which had been given him by mistake. Thinking ho could not havo many com panions in such deeds tho old man steppetl up to him, laid his hand on his shoulder and said, "Stranger, don't you find yourself awfully lonesouio about these parts?" So I havo often thought that if Mrs. Ingersoll is really altogether "without superstition." she must some times find herself "awfully lonesome." 1 remember, when a boy, that ono of my brothers usedto wear about Ids' neck a red woolen cord to prevent tho nose bleed. Tho only thing clear in my mind on the subject was that it did not pre vent it. At any rate it used to bleed very often, while the rest of us, who did not wear one, were never troubled at all, except in those cases that all who havo been Itoys will understand, where a post, or the ice in skating, or a snowball, or some other boy's fist camo in somewhat violent contact with tho most prominent feature of our faces. I suppose, how ever that there was eonio fanciful con nection between the red of the string and (lie red of the blood, and an incipient homeopathy suggested that "like would cure like.'' ' I also remember, when n child, how somo of the larger boys used to carry about a horse chestnut in their pockets as a preventive of rheumatism. This is one of the mysteries 1 havo never fath omed. Only it does seem n willful per versity for people to suffer so, just tosavo tho trouble of carrying a horso chestnut. Just as it seems pure malice in any ono ever to die when one looks through an apothecary shop, reads tho advertise ments in the newspapers, or knows how Dr. Cullis cures people by simply praying for them, and then telling them they aro well. WHAT BAD DREAMS MEAN. A friend told mo the other day that when a boy ho always felt it incumbent on him to spit three times whenever ho saw a dead cat. Tho origin of this I will not stop now to trace. Not long sinco a lady acquaintance was walking along tho street with a friend, when sho suddenly felt herself, pulled off tho sidewalk into tho street. Tho occa sion of this sudden maneuver was tho other lady's superstitious fear of walking under a ladder that leaned against tho wall in front of them. I havo learned that tlua superstition is very common and, perhaps, it is not wortli my while to disturb it. For it might be decidedly "unlucky"'to walk under a ladder pro vided a man weighing 1200 was on it and it should" blip: or in cao an uristeady man with a "drop too much," should in dulge in a further drop too much of a looso lying brick from his hod. Though in tho caso of the colored brother, who stood serene while tho brick lay in frag ments nt his feet, and who merely ex claimed, "Look out. darl Uf yo' doan't want yo' bricks broke jes' keep 'em off o' dis chile's ho'dl" it was only tho brick that was "unlucky." I have an old acquaintance in Maine who used to stick lus jackknifo in tho headboard on going to bed to prevent his having tho cramp. That is tho solo in stance of that sublime faith with which I am acquainted. But 1 havo known of people who warded off tho samo uncom fortable nightly visitant by scrupulously arranging their slippers bottom up.at tho foot of their bed. A lady not long sinco went into a jewelry store. Being at a comer it opened on two streets. When sho started to go out, tho salesman said. "Madaml you have forgotten. " "Why what?" said she, thinking of purchase or purse. "But you camo in at tho other door," ho replied. Then it flashed over her; and though sho ; went on her way, sho remembered tliat I it was "unlucky' to enter by ono door and go out by unother, However it may be about other places, I am really inclined to think that it is unlucky for a ladv to . rrn intn n imrilrv Ktnrit nn mntinr wlitnli h jw.... w.. door she goes out of; unlucky for tho man who has to pay tho bills. Then, again, it is unlucky to have a bad dream threo nights running. This is one of tho Eigns that I beliove in thor oughly. "Aha!" you 6ay, "then you, too, are superstitious as well as tho rest of us?" Yes, i beliovo it is very unlucky to havo a bad dream oven ono night. It is a sign that your supper didn't set well, I and also that you will not reel nearly so well tho next morning. And if you allow it to trouble you the next day it is another bad sign a sign that you won't Bleep so well tho next night, and also a sign that you liavo not yet outgrown tho fanciful dnom of tho world's childhood. Dr. Savago in Boston Globe. Virtue of Job' Tear. "Job's Tears for Sale," is tha legend displayed in the window of nn up town drug store "What aro JoVs Tears, and what aro they used for? inquired a curious re porter, whose uyes fell upon tho inscrip tion. Tlio druggist in reply exhibited a small pasteboard lxtx. The box looked liko other boxes, suggestive of pills and other uncomfortable things, but when tho top was removed a number of small, bead liko Feeds woro exposed. They wero alniut the size of pea brans ud bhaped like Prince Rupert's drops. "These aro Job's Tears," said tho pill compounder. "You see they aro shaped as a tear is supposed to bo. They are the seeds of a small, grass-liko plant that is a native of India but grows now largely in New England. It is a com mon plant, but somehow, year by year, tho seeds seem to be growing scarcer: that is, they are harder to obtain in tho market. And year by year tho demand for them has increased among a certain class of people. Have they any medicinal properties? Well, only so far as the gratification of a whim may lw attended with good results. "Sometime away back in the shadowy past, some grandma started the story that theso pearly affairs, if strung like beads and hung nbout an infant's neck during the teething period, would make that operation a mild and pleasant pas time, in fact almost a joy forever to the child. I cannot say whether this is true or not, yet I know that lots of young mothers buy Job's Tears, and say that with their assistanco it is really a pleasure for tho baby to introduce its molars to tho world. Job suffered enough to bo of vicarious assistanco to tho little ones, to say the least, and there may betKomething in tho whim. Balti more News. Caulit liy an IZngine. As a southern railroad train was sweep ing round a curvo near Chattanooga, tho fireman espied an enormous bald eaglo on the track, and beforo the bird could fly tho engine was upon him. Ilo was struck and lifted upon tho cow catcher, where ho clutched a beam with his great big claws, and held fast. Bo fore ho had timu to recover from his fright and the shock of the collision, the fireman had climbed along the footway and attacked him. The man was deter mined to take him prisoner and tho eaglo was equally determined not to bo captured. The struggle was something unique and terrible. Tho train was going at tho rate of forty-five miles an hour. The man had to hold by ono hand with all his power to ono of the iron guards be low tho headlight to keep his footing, as the engino swayed from side to side and bounded over the inequalities of tlio track, while ho managed tho eaglo with tlio other hand. But his birdship was finally secured after ho had nearly torn tho man's over alls to shreds with his powerful talons, which are fully four inches long. Ho was carried back over the footway, fight ing like a dc.uon. Once in tho cab. the engineer went to tho fireman's aid. and by hard work they tied "tho king of tho upper ether" se curely, though their task was no easy one, as tho eaglo fought savagely with beak and claws as long as ono of his cap tors was within reach. When tied he was spread out on the cab floor, and found to measure soven feet from tip to tip of tho wings. When fully erect ho stood nearly two feet high, and was altogether a splendid specimen. Youth's Companion. Tho Ciibnien' Shettvrs. In tho little pocket book which tho lato Emperor Frederick, then crown princo of Germany, carried on tho day of tlio qucen'a jubileo ia tlio following entry: "Tho iimbulanco urranyementa on tho day of tho jubileo, tho drinking troughs for dogs and horses and tlio cabmon'a shelters in tho streets of London." It va3 hi3 habit to jot down whatever ho saw in foreign countries which iio thought might bo advantageously in troduced into Germany. All over rainy, foggy London at con venient distances aro cab stands whoro hansoms and four wheelers wait in a row for patrons. Until tho erection of tho "shelters" tho cabman had no placo of refugo from cold and damp except behind tho apron of his cab. Theso "shelters" stand directly in tho middle of tho streets, and with their rows of littlo windows till nround look moro like playhouses for children than establish ments for tho comfort of cabmen. They aro picturesque littlo wooden buildings, nil over gables nnd miniature balconies from which aro suspended hanging plants, i'lants also blossom in pots in tho windows. Hero tho cabman cannot only warm his benumbed fingers, but can get a hot steak and u steaming cup of tea; so a policeman told mo ono morning on tho top of the omnibus as wo trundled along by tho cabmen's shelter on Regent street.
