Many ArtlnU Who Ilavt* “Arih(*d * Owe Much to M. Koinet'll Lm« of Art uud BenrvolemcThe Fopulur *• upper* til vrn In 111* Little Shop. If an art student of the Latin Quarter knows not M. Foinet, that student is but a humble creature, pitifully new to the republic of painters. And who is Foinet? Ho lias a little shop in an an cient winding street of the old quarter, the line Notre Dame de Champs, and there keeps colors for the accommoda tion of impecunious painters. It is a lit tle shop truly, with a bandbox of a sallo a manger just behind, tho miimto salon and living rooms above, hut many a oelcbrity laid tho foundation for his fame in tho pigments cheerily furnished by Foinet. Now 08, good nature and the wholesome reflection of his benovo lenoe from the fancies of a thousand friends have kept this marchand do oonleurs to the appearanco of 40. His yonthfulness remarked, "Ah,” he says, with a twinkle of his kindly blue eyes, “it keeps one in good color to deal in good colors!” As bo deals only in the best of colors, "those fit for the making of masterpieces," it is quite in keeping that he should have the rosy freshness that reddish hair and mustache comple ment, and which seem to belong only to the glow of vigor still in flower. “Having had twoscore years of ex perience in the trade that is so closely akin to urt, Foinet lias more the charac terof an artist than of a tradesman, and a glance around the walls of his costly establishment betrays who are his friends among those who have "ar rived.” Here are pieces by Dataille, by Bonnat, by Jean Paul Laurens, by Ca roius-uurun, by uazin,Dyueri Members, by Chretien, by Puul ,Stuck, by Yongind (whoso littlo pieces have sold for as much us 8,000 and 4,000 fruncs each since his death), tlin original of Frago nard’s “La Balaneoire, ” evidences enough of Foinet’s intimate relations with artists who, famous afterward, have been indebted to the man (if colors for many a sustaining kindness. A veritable patron, Mieccnus of points, it is necessary that Foinet bo well to do, and well to do bo is, and with tho moans to gratify his benevolence ho has also the tasto to minister comfort to tbo ro flnod appetite. Foinet’s littlo suppers in the shop uro as celebrated as Foinet him self, and to be bidden to one of them is a mark of distinction—an honor tbo ambitious youth covets, a conrtesy tho most successful esteems. The suppers are served in tho shop, and wines of choice vintage, served in bottles crusted with cellar mold, aro so liberally dis pensed thut sobriety at tbo end of tho evening is accounted an insult to the host. Bacchus is the presiding deity ever, and when his votaries rovolvo into tho salon where coffee is poured it is not permitted that one of them bo able per fectly to doclaro how many candies aro burning. Yet woo to the culprit who has so weak a head that be riots in bis cups. Foinet values him and his pros pects not a jot. Men who have it in them to “arrive’’ will not slander good wino by playing tho fool under it, is Foinet’s opinion. If a carefully watched young painter snddonly gets well hang or captures somewhere a medal, the color merchant, radiant over the achievement, gives one of these notable sappers in honor of bis protege, and the result is much tho same as when Beau Brummel made a man by taking his arm for a walk in the Mall. Tho supper is tbo confession of faith—Foinot’s intimation that he be lieves tbo painter has, to ail intents and purposes, “arrived,” thonghhe says one requires 15 years in which really “to arrive. ” What a phraso that is! How significant! And what avast force it has in tho French world of art and let irioi mi jiuuivi). xtuui^nercumpn merit may bo spoken by master of pupil. “Ho has arrived.” The crown is on bis head. And so Foinet, who has seen so maDymen "arrive” and knows by a sort of masterly intuition who is likely to “arrive,” has that superb patience uud that unwavering confidence which are necessary to make either u great genius or a noble creditor. Let any student with talent only as a grain of mustard seed and with it hon est perseverance go to Foinet, and the ruby faced patron will trust him till the light goes out of the moon or Hoods into the painter’s atelier. Indeed, Foinet is as little in love with a sensitive debtor as lie is with a too temperate banqueter. He it understood that more than one art student in the tfuartier Latin would find it impossible to pursue his or her atude s were it hot for the philanthropic Fein, t, who gives them credit month after mouth for lin-ir panda and has the graci of soul lint to iui|*i*o U|KU1 them the martyrdom of d< bt.

On the curuer of Hudson and C.i .rl ton street* is a frame building which, tc a critical eye, wonbl seem to lie tumbling down, or rather would ap parently be if it were not h I'l up by the adjoining building. The window frames, which once were square, are quite out of plumb, dropping downward on the south side. The ceilings are low on every floor, and on the Hudson street front the first floor, which is a little above the sidewalk and reached by a few steps, bus been transformed into a couple of small stores, while the en trance to the upper floors is gained through a door on Charlton street. An extension has been erected on this side to the main building so us to cover the lot. The building was formerly the farm house of Aaron Burr and was located on the top of Richmond hill, through which Varick street was cut. When these streets were laid out, the old farmhouse was brought down to the mad, which is now Hudson street, and placed on a vacant lot, then and uow at the corner of Charlton street. Opposite to it was placed another frame house, which had been removed ufter the great fires of 1833 and 1845, from Chambers street, where it was known as the “Old Brown Jug.” This removal had been caused by the extension of the fire lim its in the lower portion of the city. A few years ago the “Old Brown Jug” building was condemned and torn down. In its place a brink structure has' been erected. But so far the old Burr house has been spared, for, although it is out of plumb, the building was so strongly constructed that there is little danger of its fulling. .r or many years ino oia nouse was oc cupied by au old time “leather head watchman,” who, after his retirement from thut service, employed his time in making leather traveling trunks, which ho sold on this corner, occupying the upper floors with his family. At his death, a few years ago, the fumily, like many of those who formerly resided in Greenwich village, removed to the up per part of the city, and the building has since ceased to he inhabited by one fumily.—New York Mail and Express. GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS. A Retired flunko Man’* Idea of the Valoa of Regularity to the Crook. An old time crook stood on a Broad way corner, in the Tenderloin district, lute one night recently, watching a young policeman trying the store doors. The policeman did tho work with great onro and regularity. “That's u careful copper,” the crook volunteered, addressing a man who was standing a few feet away. “Yes,” repliod the other. “Evidently ho wants to gain tho good opinion of his superiors. ” Tho old time crook langbed. “It would surprise you,” ho contin ued, “wouldn’t it, to bear that that sort of a careful oop is a dead easy mark for thieves?” “I don’t see how,” returned the citi zen. “Easy enough,” retorted the crook. "It’s your careful copper that can bo easily spotted. Tho man who is going to do a job knows just where he will be on his post at a certain time and can figure ont just how long the coast will be clear and the job can bo carried on. The careful oop goes at his work just like clockwork. Now, with what some persons would call a bad cop it’s differ ent. The crooks are afraid of these bad cops, the fly fellows that take big chances and stay off post when the roundsman isn’t around. They can never tell just where a bad cop is or when he will jump out and catch them at their job. See? There is no known system of keeping track of ’em, becauso they don’t do business themselves by any system, those bad cops don’t.” Then the old time crook walked into a saloon and got a drink, leaving the citizen on the corner wondering. Tho citizen learned the identity of the crook when ho narruted the incident later to the proprietor of the same saloon. Tho fellow was a retired bunko man.—New York Sun. Emigration From Sweden. Swedish emigration is slowly increas ing. The total number of emigrants for tho three-quarters of the year is 11,618. In 1895 the emigration was 10,781, and in 1891, 7,047, against 80,000 during the years 1893, end 1893 respectively. In oonnmion with tlie Swedish emigration to the I'uited State* the report of the Swedish postmaster g -m-ral, just pub li.dn-d, is interesting. For the year 1896 $1,31 l,U3o was received in money orders from the I'uited Mates, while $377,810 Wits s. ot from Sweden, leaving a bal ance in favor of Sweden of $1,034,610. Probably an equal amount was sent to Sweden through the banks and emigrant agencies.
