STUDENTS * FRIEND.
A DEALER IN COLORS IN THE LATIN
QUARTER OF PARIS.
Kway Artist * Who Have "Arrived" Owe
Much to M. Foinet' * L.ora af Art and
Benevolence Tlio Popular Sappers Gives
In His Uttle Shop.
If an art student of the Latin Qnarter
knows not M. Foinet , that student is
but a humble creature , pitifully now to
the republic of painters. And who is
Foinet ? Ho has a little shop in an an
cient winding street of the old qui.rtor ,
the Rue Notre Dame do 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 bohiud , the minute salon
and living rooms above , but many a
celebrity laid the foundation for his
fame in the pigments cheerily furnished
by Foinet. Now G3 , good nature and
the wholesome reflection of his benevo
lence from the fancies of a thousand
friends bare kept this marchand do
oouleurs to the appearance of 40. His
youthfulnes3 remarked , "Ah , " he says ,
with a twiuklo of his kindly blue eyes ,
"it keeps ouo in good color to deal in
good colors 1" As ho deals only in the
best of colors , "thoso fit for the making
of masterpieces , " it is quite in keeping
that he should have the rosy freshness
that reddish hair and muBtache comple
ment , and which seem to belong only to
the glow of vigor still in flower.
"Having had twoscoro years of ex
perience in the trade that is so closely
akin to art , Foinet has more the charac
ter of an artist than of a tradesman , and
a glance around the walls of his costly
establishment betrays who are his
friends among these who have ' 'ar
rived. " Here are pieces by Dataille , by
Bonnat , by Jean Paul Laurens , by Oa
rolus-Durau , by Oaziu.by Geri Melchers ,
by Chretien , by Paul Steck , by Yongiud
( whoso little pieces have sold for as
much as 3,000 and 4,000 francs each
since his death ) , the original of Frago-
nard's "La Balnncoire , " evidences
enough of Foinet's intimate relations
with artists who , famous afterward ,
have been indebted to the man of colors
for many a sustaining kindness.
A veritable patron , Maecenas of points ,
it is necessary that Foinet be well to do ,
and well to do he is , and with the means
to gratify his benevolence he has also
the taste to minister comfort to the re
fined appetite. Foinet's little suppers in
the sbop are as celebrated as Foinet him
self , and to bs bidden to one of them is
a mark of distinction an honor tbo
ambitious youth covets , a courtesy the
mosi successful esteems. The suppers
are served in the shop , and wines of
choice vintage , served in bottles crusted
with cellar mold , are so liberally dis
pensed that sobriety at the end of the
evening is accounted an insult to the
host. Bacchus is the presiding deity
ever , and when his votaries revolve into
the salon where coffee is poured it is not
permitted that one of them be able per
fectly to declare how many caudles are
burning. Yet woo to the culprit who
has so weak a head that he riots in his
cups. Foinet values him and his pros
pects not a jot. Men who have it in them
to "arrive" will not slander good wine
by playing the fool under it , is Foinet's
opinion.
If a carefully watched young painter
suddenly gets well hung or captures
somewhere a medal , the color merchant ,
radiant over the achievement , gives one
of these notable suppers in honor of his
protege , and the result is much the same
as when Beau Brummel made a man
by taking his arm for a walk in the
Mall. The supper is the confession of
faith Foinet's intimation that he be
lieves the painter has , to all intents and
purposes , "arrived , " though he says one
requires 15 years in which really "to
irrive. " What a phrase that is ! How
significant ! And.what avast force it
las iu the French world of art and let-
: ersl "He'll arrive. " No higfier compli-
nenfe may be spoken by master of pupil.
'He has arrived. " The crown is on his
lead. And so Foinet , who has seen so
nany men "arrive" and knows by a sort
> f masterly intuition who is likely to
'arrive , " has that superb patience and
hat unwavering confidence which are
lecessary to make either a great genius
ir a noble creditor.
Let any student with talent only as a
; rain of mustard seed and with it hon-
sst perseverance go to Foinet , and the
uby faced patron will trust him till the
ight goes out of the moon or floods into
ho painter's atelier. Indeed , Foinet is
is little in iovo with a sensitive debtor
s he is with a too temperate banqueter.
Be it understood that more than one
it student in the Quartier Latin would
ind it impossible to pursue his or her
tudies were it not for the philanthropic
i'oiuet , who gives them credit mouth
Iter month for their paints and has the |
; race of soul not to impose upon them
he martyrdom of debt. Paints are ex-
ipnsive , and some etudeuts who have
iarely enough for bread would fare ill
or working materials but for this sim- ;
le hearted and genuine bienfaiteur in '
he old fashioned street near the Lux-
mbourg. That this frank generosity islet
lot ignobly betrayed may be inferred :
rom the fact of the dealer's compara-
ivo opulence. Nevertheless he will
hake his" head in compassionate sadness ;
she says : "There are too many stu- |
ents of art who ought to be students of
gricuituro. They could mow landscapes :
> etter than they can paint them. It is |
ad to see one quite without talent
truggling to . succeed in' an art that has i
; o pity whatever for mediocrity. But" \

AARON BURR'S FARMHOUSE.
The Building , Which Is Over Century
Old , Still Standing.
On the corner of Hudson and Charl
ton streets is a frame building which ,
to a critical eye , would seem to be
tumbling down , or rather would ap
parently be if it were not held up by
the adjoining building. The window
frames , which ouco. were square , are
quite out of plumb , dropping downward
on the south sido. 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 , has 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 as to cover the
lot.
lot.The
The building was formerly the farm
house of Aaron Burr aud was located
on tbo top of Richmond hill , through
which Varick street was cut. When
these streets were laid out , the old
farmhouse was brought down to the
road , 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 after the great
fires of 1885 and 1845 , from Chambers
street , where it was known as the "Old
Brown Jog. " This removal had been
caused by the extension of the fira lim
its in the lower portion of the city. A
few years ago tbo "Old Brown Jug"
building was condemned aud torn down.
In its plane a brick 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 falling.
For many years the old house was oc
cupied by an old time "leather head
watchman , " who , after his retirement
from that Eervice , employed his time in
making leather traveling trunks , which
he sold on this comer , occupying the
upper floors with his family. At his
death , a few years ago , the family , like
many of these who formerly resided in
Greenwich village , removed to the up
per part of the city , and the building
has since ceased to be inhabited by one
family. New York Mail and Express.
GOOD COPS AS EASY MARKS.
A Retired Bnnko Man's Idea of the Value
of Regularity to the Crook.
An old time crook stood on a Broad
way corner , iu the Tenderloin district ,
late one night recently , watching a
young policeman trying tbo store doors.
The policeman did the work with great
care and regularity.
"That's a careful copper , " the crook
volunteered , addressing a man who was
standing a few feet away.
"Yes , " replied the other. "Evidently
he wants to gain the good opinion of his
superiors. "
The old time crook laughed.
< "It would surprise you , " ho contin
ued , "wouldn't it , to hear that that sort
of a careful cop 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 be
easily spotted. The man who is going
to do a job knows just where he will been
on his post at a certain time and cau
Bgure out just how long the coast will
be clear and the job can bo carried on.
The careful cop goes at his work just
like clockwork. Now , with what some
persons would call a bad cop it's differ-
ant. The crooks are afraid of these
aad cops , the fly fellows that take big
jhances and stay off post when the
roundsman isn't around. They can
aever tell just where a bad cop is or
svhen he will jump out and catch them
it their job. See ? There is no known
system of keeping track of 'em , because
; hey don't do business themselves by
my system , those bad cops don't. "
Then the old time crook walked into
i saloon and got a drink , leaving the
iitizen on the corner wondering. The j
iitizen learned the identity of the crook
vhen he narrated the incident later to
he proprietor of the same saloon. The
ellow was a retired bunko man. New

Emigration From Sweden. |
Swedish emigration is slowly increas-
ng. The total number of emigrants for
he three-quarters of the year is 11,618.
n 1895 the emigration was 10,781 , and
n 1894 , 7,047 , against 30,000 during the
'ears 1893 , and 1893 respectively. In
onnection with the Swedish emigration
o the United States the report of the
Swedish postmaster general , just pub-
ished , is interesting. For the year 1895
1,311,920 was received in money orders
rom the United .States , while $277,310
pas sent from Sweden , leaving a bal-
nce in favor of Sweden of $1,034,610.
'robably an equal amount was sent to
Sweden through the banks and emigrant '
gencies. I

A waiter from "do Bowery" drifted
into ( own the other day and got a job ii
a Royal street restaurant. Ho was dresH
ed in a check suit , walked stiff kneed
with his cbh , out , and yelled out bjsor
ders like a Mississippi mate. His firs
oustomor was a gentleman of delicati
appetite. The waiter struck a prize
fighter attitude , leaned his head Blightlj
down toward the guest and said :
"Well ? "
The guest looked up in surprise Th <
waiter glanced down at him.
"Well.whatcan wodoforyer , sport ? '
Regaining his control , the diner said
"Ah , I'd like something light , waiter. '

"A what ? "
"A fodder. May bo yon might get youi

A Young Man's Achievements.
The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst , D.
D. , writes of "Tho Young Man on the
Fence" in The Ladies'Homo Journal.
He believes that "when all has been
said that admits of being said in regard
to a young man's equipment for lifo and
in regard to what he ought to do and
what he ought to eschew , it still remains
a fact that his acquisitions and his
achievements will depend principally on
his way of looking at lifo and on the
spirit with which he takes hold of life.
Ho can deal with it at arm's length or
he can grip it at short rango. Ho can
treat the world as an article of virtu
to be olegautly inspected , or he can han
dle it as a practical commodity to thrust
his hands into. He can approach it with
an eye of half supercilious interrogation ,
or he can come down upon it with a
plump bound that means respect , confi
dence and the will to have frank com
merce with it. There is enough in al
most any young fellow to get a great
deal into life if ho has the disposition to
construe things with a degree of seri
ousness , and by seriousness I do not
mean sourness , but practical earnestness
the spirit , namely , that will prevent
his locking upon the world as being lit
tle better than an ill timed joke , awk
ward enough to make the whole thing
uncomfortable and ludicrous enough to
excuse any sophisticated person from
concerning himself much with it. "
Banger of Long Range Ballets.
An Indian correspondent tells of an
incident which came under his official
notice as magistrate of Hosan , Madras.
A European was hunting black buck on
it hillside , when he obtained a shot with
bis Martini-Henri carbine. The result
of the shot taught him a lesson about
the dangers of long range bullets.
In a valley 1,150 yards away , beyond
two rather high hills and a little pond ,
a native wa3 standing with his head
bowed and hands clasped behind his
back. The bullet broke the wrist of this
man's band. In the investigation that
followed the course of the bullet was
braced accurately. I
In firing at the antelope the bullet
bad hit a stone on the hillside and gene
bounding end over end over the first hill.
At ; the next hill another place where
: ho bullet struck was found. Here the
rollet leaped into the air almost perpen-
licularly , and when it came down iu
; he ricefield it hit the man's wrist ,
Droke the bone , cut a gash in his body ,

A Civilized Monkey.
There is a monkey in the Bellevue
Zoological gardens of Manchester , Eng-
and , that rides a bicycie , plays a violin
ind bugle , though he does not extract
nuch music ; sits at a table to eat , uses
leap and towel when making his toilet
ind shaves himself. When riding his
vheel , he rings the bell almost constant-
y , not so much to alarm pedestrians as
mcause he enjoys the sound. He smokes j
igars and cigarettes and eagerly picks i
ip a stump when he finds it. Ho is' '
kfraid of the fire and will not hold a I
'
natch or lighted paper to light a pipe
ir cigar , but scratches a match and
lands it to his trainer. He has learned
o box , and in a fight with another ,
ooukey used his fists like a pugilist. j
