Artist De Chavannes

M. Puvis de Chavannes, the French painter, lives in Montmartre. His palace consists of a studio, a bedroom and a dressing room; his furnitare, . big table, a few armchairs and a sofa. His ordinary garb is a long, brown, nionkisb looking dressing gown. His working studio is at Neuilly, outpide of Paris, a bare room vast enough for his great canvases. Here he works alone on a ladder every day from 9 in the morning until evening, stopping only for a light repast at noort. All trees have secds. In some, however, the seeds are so small in proportion to the size of the tree that ihey altogether escape ordinary notice. Froni Calcutta to Washington the voyage is 9,348 miles in length. ïhe nuity cf earthly creatores istheir power and their peace, not like the dead and cold peace of uimisturbed stones and solitarymountains, but the living peace of truat and the living power of support, of hands that hold each other and are still. - Ruskin.
