What old master among the Dutck
painters was left-handed?
This knowledge is a Tery Taluabla
asaet toacounoi.sseurinart. Few ex
perts know, and those who doare par
ticular to keep the information to
themselves. It enables thorn to de
tect a spurious painting ascribed to
this artist at a glance.
Mr. George ii. Storv, of the Metro
politan museum, say?, according to
the New York World, that he dis-
overed the fact for himself in a curi
ous way. Mr. story is the highest
authority in this country upon old
masters, and is especially familiar
with those of the Dutch school. He
gained his prestige by years of t'lie
minutest study in the galleries of Eu
rope. Une ot ins methods ol study
was to copy masterpieces for the sake
of dissecting a painter's style. Oho
aay he set his easel down before a fa
mous painting at The Hague.
"Now 1 11 get your stroke," reflect
ed upon the artist, lie found that he
could not get the stroke. There was
something about it quite, out of tha
ordinary. Then, he noticed the same
oddity in the way that the original
varnishing had been done. Suddenly
he worked out the problem like a
flash. The brush had been brought
always from left to right instead of
from right to left. It was easy to
verify the discovery, once made.
When a World reporter asked Mr.
Story to name the painter h laughed.
"Oh, no." h said; "I oan't afford
to part with that bit of knowledge."

SENATOR PL ATT.
b Ho Nature Lover -Haa Saaa Adlroa-
dacka Oalr One.
Senator Thomas C. Piatt has neveT
been counted as a nature lover. His
lealings are with politicians and br.si-
aess men, and his expressions of for.d
aess for the picturesque in nature are
Jew and far between. Tie moun
;ains have no attraction for the re
publican leader, and hisfiiends were
jurprised last wetk when Senator
I'latt made a journey to the Adiron
Jacks. His sons talked for hours to
.nduce him to take the trip. The stny
asted three day, and when Senator
Piatt arived back in the Fifth Avenue
lotel he said to a friend:
"It is the first time I have seen the
Adirondack mountains, although 1
cava lived within a short distance of
them for yean. Oo back to the
mountains? No, I never expect to
see them again. The sea breezes of
Coney island suit me."
One of the tender spots in Senator
Piatt's nature is his desire to have
rare cut flowers in his rooms. He de-
jshts to push a comfortable armchair
:lose to a large vase of American
oeauty roses and enjoy their fragrance.--N.
